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!

Eden Housing and Architects FORA invite you to join an educational workshop on Trauma-Informed Design (TID) principles and how these principles, in combination with Trauma-Informed Care provided by support staff, can foster a sense of control, safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment for all residents – especially those who have experienced the trauma of housing instability. The workshop will include emerging research, case study projects, and activity prompts on how to implement trauma-informed strategies. Attendees will then be invited on a scavenger hunt to find the examples of TID principles in action – within the design and operations of Solaire Apartments.

Solaire Apartments represents a thoughtful and innovative case study for TID, highlighting the role that affordable housing has to raise the bar for health and wellbeing. Through a careful balance of aesthetic beauty, functionality, and research-driven strategies, Solaire Apartments provides a safe, welcoming, and healing environment for low-income households and formerly homeless individuals. Its design elevates the resident experience by addressing physical, emotional, and social needs, ensuring the built environment fosters dignity, connection, and resilience.
