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!

Accessible design is a hard-fought battle on screens and in streets: many people with disabilities are often barred from both digital and physical communities, in large part because the designers creating those spaces didn’t consider their needs in the process.

Take housing, for example: in order for housing to be accessible, it needs to be affordable—but it also needs to be accessible across disabilities too.

We’re partnering with The Kelsey to discuss what disability-forward design looks like; what accessibility design looks like in both housing and tech, and what the two spaces can learn from each other.

Join us on Thursday, October 28th, 12-1pm PT to learn from accessibility design experts about their work and how we can develop ​​housing policies and design standards to ensure that housing is both affordable and accessible for all.

The webinar will be moderated by Hannah Holloway, Senior Policy Manager. Panelists include:

  • Allie Cannington, Manager of Advocacy and Organizing at The Kelsey
  • Cam Luck, Interaction Designer at Google
  • Nicholas Sanchez

More panelists TBA.
