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!

Join us to learn more about fair housing so you can better understand the challenges and opportunities, and the very real impacts fair housing issues and laws have in our community. How did fair housing laws come about, and who is protected? How are local cities required to fit fair housing actions into their long-range housing plans? How will the new state law allowing local preference in affordable housing developments change the context of local policy decisions? We’ll explore these issues and more in this edition of Deep Dive on Affordable Housing. The Deep Dive series of events is designed to empower advocates on how to engage and drive their needs.

Previous topics in the Deep Dive series are Deep Dive on Affordable Housing: A How-To Guide for Advocates and Deep Dive on Affordable Housing: Affordable Housing Finance. Click here to view recordings of previous Deep Dive sessions.
