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 us to learn about a community-centered vision for healthy, democratic, cooperative housing in San José.

Community members and staff from SOMOS Mayfair will present a grassroots vision for limited equity housing cooperatives (LEHCs) in San José. Attendees will learn about a community-driven process that led us to choose LEHCs as a strategy to preserve our communities and protect against displacement, as well as an introduction to the concept of LEHCs and how they could thrive in San José. This will be an interactive virtual meeting with 3-5 presenters and a Q&A.

The event will be conducted in English with Spanish interpretation.
