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!

This November is one of the most important elections in decades. While most attention is glued to the presidential race, the measures and candidates in local and state races have the potential to drastically reshape our communities, amidst and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since there is truly so much on the ballot this year, we’re holding a plethora of election events to cover the most urgent statewide measures as well as the measures up for a vote in the Bay Area. Check out our other events in the TechEquity 2020 Election Series here.

On Thursday, October 15th at noon, our Director of Advocacy Megan Abell and Policy Manager Ian Eve Perry will be breaking down what’s on the ballot for South Bay & the Peninsula: San Jose, Mountain View, and more. We’ll give an overview of each measure and share our positions on those that relate to our issue areas of housing and workforce & labor.
