San José Directs Affordable Housing Programs to Address Segregation and Unequal Access to High Opportunity Areas
Guided by a report and subsequent analysis co-produced by the California Housing Partnership and the Othering & Belonging Institute, the City of San José adopted a policy on December 6th to address persistent patterns of segregation and unequal access to neighborhoods where residents experience better life outcomes. The new policy will place more affordable housing in San José's well-resourced neighborhoods while directing a more comprehensive set of investments – including, but not limited to affordable housing – to its lower-resourced communities.
