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!

The City of San Jose has scheduled a second Community Meeting for the Diridon Integrated Station Concept Plan for March 25th. Come learn about the collaborative effort by the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Caltrain, City of San José, and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to plan for the expansion and redesign of Diridon Station. These four Partner Agencies held a kick-off Community Meeting in December 2018 to share information about the project and get feedback on the initial vision and objectives for the Concept Plan. The second meeting will provide an update on progress to date and seek feedback on the draft framework for evaluating scenarios.

Families are welcome, and there will be train-themed activities for children. Please see the event page for printable fliers in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, and help us spread the word.

For more information on the Concept Plan, check out the project website at www.diridonsj.org/disc.
