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!

Please join The Kelsey for a community meeting about transit in the Vendome/Ayer Station neighborhood at the Northside Community Center (488 N 6th St) on Wednesday, April 24th from 6:00-8:00pm.

The issues around transit oriented development — parking, traffic, public transit, and pedestrian friendly communities — have come up in all of the Kelsey’s community conversations to date. As promised, the Kesley has dedicated a community meeting to this topic. The Kelsey recognizes that many issues related to transit and parking are bigger than The Kelsey Ayer Station; they existed before they became part of this community and some will be issues theycannot address directly.

That’s why, in addition to sharing project updates in this meeting, the Kelsey is bringing in other organizations to join the conversation. The meeting will begin with a presentation of The Kelsey Ayer Station parking and transit plan. Afterwards, the Kelsey has convened a panel to discuss broader neighborhood issues related to transit and parking. There will be representatives from DOT, District 3, and VTA. There will be opportunity for Q+A after initial presentations. For specific questions about this meeting, please contact Lindsay at lindsay@thekelsey.org

 

When:
April 24th
6:00PM - 8:00PM
Where:
Northside Community Center (488 N 6th Street, San Jose)
