On May 10, 2019, the Urban Land Institute will bring together housing leaders for the second daylong Housing the Bay Summit in San Francisco to discuss solutions. Speakers include housing legislation authors and state sens. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, and Scott Weiner, D-San Francisco. Click HERE for the full agenda, speakers list and registration information.

The Mountain View Environmental Planning Commission will conduct an inclusionary housing program study session at its meeting on April 29, 2019. The commission's input will be forwarded to the Mountain View City Council at another study session on May 14, 2019. Eventual approval of the revised Inclusionary Program is expected at the city council's meeting on June 18, 2019. The study session's purpose is to provide input on proposed modifications to the city's below-market-rate program. The new rules would increase the requirement to 25 percent on for-sale townhouse projects, create a heavy preference for must-build of affordable units, levy higher in-lieu fees, give more focus on moderate-income housing and address other program elements.
