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!

At the 2024 Housing the Bay Summit, we opened the program with a conversation between the Housing Directors of Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, all of whom had been appointed to their roles within the previous 9-month period. Nearly a year later, we are checking back in with Directors Weinstein, Adams, and Solivan to discuss how they are navigating leadership changes, exploring the challenges they’ve encountered, and celebrating the strides they’ve made within their first year. The conversation will be moderated by Sarah Klearman, staff reporter at the San Francisco Business Times.
