In 2017, Silicon Valley Community Foundation launched its first “On The Table,” bringing together approximately 7,000 residents at nearly 800 conversations to talk about our regional housing challenges in the Bay Area. Last year we got the housing conversation started, this year is the time to discuss solutions. Come find like-minded people, bring your lunch — we’ll provide beverages and dessert — and join SPUR, SV@Home, and Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley in conversation as we work to make new connections between people of different backgrounds and from different communities to identify shared solutions. Co-presented by SV@Home and Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.
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!
