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!

With California’s desirable climate, diverse economy and many of the nation’s top colleges, the state continues to experience strong housing demand; however, housing construction is constrained by regulatory barriers, high costs, and fewer public resources. While California’s housing challenges may appear to be overwhelming, California’s Housing Future:
Challenges and Opportunities provides the data and analysis to describe the problem and frame the discussion surrounding solutions. The final Statewide Housing Assessment describes California’s housing
challenges, provides a Housing Action Plan with a set of strategies that should be implemented immediately to address these challenges, and includes a set of long-term recommendations to continue progress into the future.
