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 the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on July 29th, 2021 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. for an overview on how local jurisdictions can apply to the Prohousing Designation Program, and gain Prohousing status.

Jurisdictions that adopt local policies to facilitate the planning, approval, and construction of housing beyond state law can apply to receive the Prohousing Designation, which helps boost a jurisdiction’s competitiveness in funding applications.

Prohousing jurisdictions are awarded additional points or preference when they apply for the following programs that further state housing, equity, and climate goals:

  • Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC)
  • Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)
  • Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG)
  • And more to come!
