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!

Nonprofit leaders rate the ongoing affordable housing shortage as an extremely important policy issue that our nonprofit community should tackle. SVCN is pleased to be able to partner with the affordable housing community to bring to you this housing policy series.

This month, we’ll tackle three key housing issues of the day. Our goal is to ensure that nonprofit leaders and their constituents understand the components of the big housing policy decisions that our local governments will be making to have the tools to engage knowledgably as advocates on these issues.

This second deep dive will help nonprofit leaders to understand why community ownership of land in a housing crisis is important and how the debate will unfold at the City of San Jose in upcoming weeks. It will also answer the question: “what is COPA?!”

Our Panelists: 

  • Andrea Portillo, SOMOS Mayfair
  • Huascar Castro, Working Partnerships USA
  • Aboubacar Ndiaye, PowerSwitch Action
  • Regina Celestin Williams, SV@Home
