The City of San José is conducting a study of a potential Commercial Linkage Fee—a fee on new commercial development that would be used to pay for affordable housing. The study will include a nexus analysis, which will establish the basis for the fee, and a feasibility analysis, which will analyze the effect the fee could have on the economics of new commercial development. This meeting is an opportunity to learn about the study the City is conducting and to provide feedback to the City on the study methodology.
The Housing Needs of Undocumented Residents
JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 25TH 12PM
Undocumented immigrants face unique and often invisible barriers to housing—exclusion from federal programs, fear of retaliation, and discriminatory screening practices.
Join us for a timely conversation on how we can break down these barriers and advance housing solutions that include everyone—regardless of immigration status.
We’ll explore:
– Why undocumented immigrants are excluded from key housing programs
– How fear and discrimination drive housing instability
– Local policies and community-based models creating real change
