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!

Spurred by rising housing costs, many US cities and states have adopted policies that make it easier to build new housing, often by allowing denser, multifamily units in areas previously limited to lower-density single-family and small multifamily homes.

In this presentation, Meyer Fellow Stephanie Kestelman, the incoming Director of Housing at Arnold Ventures, will discuss her research examining how the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Incentive Program in Los Angeles has affected the quantity, type, and timing of new housing since its adoption in 2017.
