Getting Inclusionary Housing Right

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH 12PM

Cities across Santa Clara County are considering this powerful tool to build more new affordable homes without subsidy.

But done wrong it can fall short, or even stop the development of new homes in its tracks. Learn how it works, and how to get it right!

Many of our local cities are joining forces right now in a shared nexus study, the wonky and in-depth analysis that assesses the feasibility of local residential development and the potential for developers of market-rate housing to add a share of affordable homes to their buildings.

If cities require too few affordable homes or affordability that’s too shallow, they leave public benefits on the table. Too much, and developers can’t build any housing at all.

Come hear about local cities that are getting it right: successfully using inclusionary housing policies to achieve mixed-income communities, generate funding to subsidize deeper levels of affordability, and gain valuable land for affordable homes!

San Jose’s plans for the Diridon area involve many more people living, working, shopping and enjoying local amenities. How will people get to work and other places without gridlocking the streets? How will people get to and from events and entertainment? How will the city meet targets for walking, bicycling, and travel by transit?  

On March 8, learn about the City of San Jose’s plans and policies in the works, about best practices from transit-light hubs in other communities, and opportunities for transit to move more people seamlessly and conveniently in the Diridon area and beyond. The webinar will also outline how community members and advocates can get engaged in the ongoing planning process.
