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!
Join SV@Home in Backesto Park to celebrate Villa Calle SJ, a free recreation program that temporarily closes miles of San Jose streets to bring communities together to walk, bike, skate, play
and explore the city like never before.
Learn more about the route and details about the day here.
