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!

Join the Coalition of Housers for a presentation and interactive discussion about redlining and displacement[spacer height=”20px”]

Are you curious about how the history of redlining has affected housing today? Join us for a workshop that will dive into some of the history of racism in housing in the South Bay and how it contributes to today’s displacement crisis. This workshop will provide an overview of this history, discuss why laws and programs that benefit our most disadvantaged groups benefit all of us, and include an interactive discussion on how housers can take action to prevent displacement.

The presenters are:

  • Steven Yang – Senior Loan Officer, Multifamily Lending, Housing Trust of Silicon Valley
  • Marisa Corriea – PHI Community Health Fellow, The Health Trust
  • Jacklyn Joanino – Development Officer, Housing Policy and Planning, City of San Jose Housing Department

The presenters for this session are members of the CoHo working group.

The Coalition of Housers, or CoHo, is a network of new and emerging leaders working in and advocating for affordable housing in the South Bay. As the need for affordable housing grows, so does the need for supporting the leadership and professional development of a diverse community of practitioners in the affordable housing industry and among industry partners. Join us!
