Affordable Housing Implementation Plan
Fall 2020

The Draft Diridon Affordable Housing Implementation Plan is now available for public review. The Draft Housing Plan outlines housing-related goals and potential strategies to produce new affordable housing units, preserve the affordability of the neighborhoods for lower-income residents, and protect vulnerable residents from displacement. It applies to the Diridon Station Area and surrounding neighborhoods within a half-mile distance (referred to as the Neighborhood Stabilization Area). It includes data analysis, case studies, and evaluation of opportunities and constraints to help inform the policy recommendations. The Draft Housing Plan is a separate document from the Diridon Station Area Plan but will support its implementation. Its Executive Summary is included in the Draft Amended Diridon Station Area Plan (DSAP) that is also available for public review at this time.

Staff requested and encouraged public comments on the Draft Diridon Affordable Housing Implementation Plan until January 11, 2021. Staff is now considering the feedback while making changes to the draft plan and preparing recommendations for City Council. Moving forward, please send any questions or comments to Kristen Clements (Division Manager, Housing Department) at 408-535-8236 or kristen.clements@sanjoseca.gov. All comments will be included in the public record and provided to the City Council.
