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!

VTA invites you to participate in the second community meeting for the proposed Gilroy Transit Center Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) located at VTA’s Gilroy Transit Center. The property is adjacent to the Gilroy Caltrain Station on Monterey Highway between 7th Street and 9th Street in Gilroy.

In February 2021, VTA held two community meetings to discuss the community’s vision for the site. Based on the input we received at those meetings, VTA prepared some conceptual designs.

VTA wants to continue this community dialogue, hear your feedback, and listen to your ideas on the conceptual designs. We are inviting you to attend our next meeting on Thursday, April 22st at 6PM.

The meeting will be conducted simultaneously in Spanish and English. Individuals who require other language translation are requested to contact VTA Community Outreach at (408) 321-7575/TTY (408) 321-2330, or email community.outreach@vta.org, by April 15, 2021.

Visit www.vta.org/gilroydevelopment for additional project information, including links to videos of the February meeting recordings, and to sign up for project updates.

We look forward to your continued participation. If you missed the first meeting, we encourage you to begin participating.
