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!

From the devastating impacts of climate change that are already being felt across the region to the urgent need for housing and climate-smart development—Greenbelt Alliance is coming up with creative solutions to keep communities safe and position our most vulnerable neighbors at the center of our actions. We need to summon our inner “superpowers” to solidify our vision and work together to build a climate-resilient Bay Area.

Each year we bring people together to celebrate this critical work. And what better way to do that than to highlight the champions among us who are working every day, often behind the scenes, to build a better Bay Area for all?

Join us on September 30, at 4 p.m. (PT), for Hidden Heroes of the Greenbelt, a benefit hosted by Greenbelt Alliance that honors the bold leaders in local government working to ensure greater climate resilience for the Bay Area. During the virtual celebration, we will premiere three short films that tell the stories of these heroes and highlight the impact they’re making in communities throughout the region.

September 30th
4:00PM - 6:00PM
