The actions of the new administration are putting many American communities at risk, including immigrant families, people of color, and the working class. These actions expose them to ongoing threats that jeopardize their livelihoods and well-being, eroding the social fabric that they’ve worked so hard to build. Our goal is to educate participants on why the housing movement must take a firm stance against cooperation with ICE and advocate for a ban on evictions of non-citizens and mixed-status families. Preservation is a crucial tool in protecting our communities from these unjust practices.
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!
