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!

How can we create transportation options for workers and residents  and address the housing shortage? What is Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and how can we implement it to reduce vehicle trips and lessen parking demand in our community?

Join Palo Alto Forward, the Palo Alto Transportation Management Association, and City of Mountain View staff  on April 24 for our Gridlock to Green Trips event. We’ll discuss parking and traffic worries that are common barriers to addressing the housing shortage, and look towards local solutions. Together we’ll myth-bust and think about how TDM measures can be implemented in our community, especially at new housing sites. Let’s make transportation work for all of us!

Snacks will be provided. ** RSVP here (required).**

Thank you the VTA Transit-Oriented Communities Grant for making this event possible, as well as Seamless Bay Area, Friends of Caltrain, Palo Alto TMA, Menlo Together, and 350 Silicon Valley Climate Action.
