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!

Housing affordability is by no means only a local issue, but many countries around the world have vastly different ways of organizing and implementing their housing policies and operating their real estate markets. Could some of those programs hold solutions to the Bay Area’s ongoing housing crisis? Explore housing delivery models from Copenhagen to Tokyo, and learn what it might take to rethink, and transform, how our region thinks about providing housing. This project has been made possible in part by a grant from Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
