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!

A Roadmap to Thriving Communities for California

Why a Roadmap Home?
California holds the promise of being a place where people can build a future for themselves and their families ‒ starting at home, where safety, stability and community are the foundations of our success. But the devastating effects of the pandemic and natural disasters, on top of decades of racial injustice and rising economic inequality, have put that future at risk. There has never been a more important moment to put California on course for long-term equity, resilience, and sustainability, and housing is the foundation for ensuring that generations of Californians have a shot at success.

Vision
The Roadmap Home demonstrates how, using an evidence-based, equity-centered, and comprehensive approach, over the next ten years, the state can end homelessness, create affordable homes for those struggling the most, ensure that Californians can stay in their homes, and advance racial equity and economic inclusion — creating a California where everyone can thrive.
