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 Livable Sunnyvale at an endorsement meeting for a Village Center development at 877 W FremontDuring this meeting, you will hear from the developer, share your concerns and, if you are a member of Livable Sunnyvale and eligible to vote, vote to endorse or not the proposed development.

Background: The Housing Element has outlined seven (7) Village Centers, one of which is the four corners of Mary and Fremont. This development will replace the existing medical offices at 877 W Fremont with a medical building and 114 residential units. 

Village Centers are intended to support infill housing opportunities by converting older shopping centers with high vacancy rates into vibrant neighborhood focal points that reduce trips traveled to basic services. The intent is to feature retail and service options within walking and biking distance, as well as a mix of residential units. 

Katia Kamangar, the Principal of Kamangar Consulting LLC will present the plans for the development and review our Endorsement Form.

There will be plenty of time for your questions. After the presentation, eligible members will vote to endorse the project or not.  If we endorse the project, Livable Sunnyvale will send a letter to the Planning Commission and City Council in support of the project. 

We want to commend the  Kamangar Consulting LLC for their willingness to come to this meeting and hope to see you on the 11th!
