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!

If you haven’t already, you need to see The Banker.

Inspired by true events, The Banker is the story of Black entrepreneurs Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson) who create a business plan to fight for housing desegregation — and equal access to the American Dream for African Americans in 1960’s Los Angeles.

While the movie takes place in the 1960’s, the legacy of redlining, discriminatory lending, and outright racism in housing policy persist today.

That’s why we’re so excited to host a conversation with The Banker director George Nolfi, writers Niceole Levy, Stan Younger, David Lewis Smith, and producer Joel Viertel

This film tells a powerful story about equality, human dignity, and desegregation — as well as the visionaries who fought to undo the legacy of racism in our cities.

Join California YIMBY for a special opportunity to meet the talent behind The Banker, learn about their inspiration for the film, and discuss how the movie connects to our work to reverse historic housing discrimination.
