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 event is hosted by AARP California as part of SV@Home’s Affordable Housing Month 2022

 

Join AARP California virtually on Thursday, May 5 @ 1 p.m. PT as we discuss AARP’s Livability Index: Great Neighborhoods for All Ages, an interactive online tool that evaluates the livability of neighborhoods across the United States and helps to identify gaps between what communities have and what their residents need to thrive. Community features analyzed by the Livability Index include critical services and amenities such as, housing, transportation, opportunities for engagement and more – all features that make a community livable and support residents as they age.

During this 45-minute session you will hear from Dr. Rodney Harrell, Vice President of Family, Home and Community at the AARP Public Policy Institute, as he gives a high-level overview of the Livability Index, provides exclusive insight on upcoming updates to the tool, and shares findings from a recent AARP report, “Which Older Adults Have Access to America’s Most Livable Neighborhoods?”. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask Dr. Harrell questions.

This virtual event is FREE and open to the public. Registration is required.

 

More About the AARP Livability Index

The AARP Livability Index: Great Neighborhoods for All Ages scores every neighborhood and community in the United States for services and amenities that affect people’s lives the most. The Index was first developed in 2015 by the AARP Public Policy Institute (PPI) as a standard to help evaluate community policies, compare communities, and measure livability. In June 2018, the Index was relaunched with updated data and new site features.
