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!

Future of Sunnyhills

The Sunnyhills Neighborhood Association is hosting a virtual presentation and discussion about the future of Sunnyhills Apartments and other HUD-subsidized housing on Saturday, May 7, at 8:30 a.m.

The owner of Sunnyhills Apartments has threatened to opt out of its HUD Section 8 contract in February 2023. Although current Sunnyhills tenants are protected by enhanced vouchers, after they leave, the 149 HUD-subsidized apartments in the complex could revert to market rate.

Bridgett Simmons from the National Housing Law Project and Sunnyhills community members will discuss what ‘s happening and what options might be available at the event, co-sponsored by SV@Home as part of Affordable Housing Month.

RSVP to info@sunnyhillsneighborhood.org by Friday, May 6, for the Zoom link.
