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!

Charities Housing is working to transform a vacant lot into a 100% affordable project at 551 Keyes St in San Jose, which will bring 78 affordable units near downtown. On-site services and amenities will include a Community Room available to the public, gardens and common areas, private storage, auto and bicycle parking, laundry and resident services. Half of the units will be reserved for Santa Clara County’s Rapid Rehousing program.

The project meets current zoning requirements and has been submitted for SB 35 expedited review processing and has also applied for Measure A consideration.
