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 SV@Home for a conversation about what happened in the legislature in 2021 and what’s ahead in the new year!

Join SV@Home on November 19 for our California Legislative Update! While we work locally to produce new homes, preserve existing affordable homes, and protect renters, the SV@Home Action Fund also works at the state level to pass legislation to help address our housing needs. We’ll be joined by our lobbyist Graciella Castillo-Krings.

At this event, we will review the 2021 legislative year and preview 2022. Nearly all of the SV@Home Action Fund’s priority legislation was signed into law in 2021 — what will those bills do for our area and state? What does the year ahead have in store for housing in Sacramento? How are housing conversations changing in our capitol? How can advocates in Silicon Valley support statewide efforts to equitably and sustainably improve access to safe, stable, affordable homes? We hope you’ll join this conversation on these questions and more.

Featured Speaker: Graciela Castillo-Krings, Sacramento Advocates
