What is Inclusionary Housing and How Does It Affect Affordable Housing?

Doublewide Dudes

This week we met with Rick Jacobus about Inclusionary Housing. Inclusionary housing is a way
to work with developers to create affordable housing alongside of market rate housing in a way
where ideally the neighbors, the community, and the developer all “win.”
Mr. Jacobus has a broad background perfect for helping us explore inclusionary housing. He is
the principal of Street Level Advisors, a consulting firm specializing in inclusionary housing strategies. Mr. Jacobus has a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and a Master of City Planning degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He also has decades of experience working with cities on affordable housing and other community issues.
Mr. Jacobus is founder of Cornerstone Partnership, a national initiative focused on building more inclusive communities, served as a fellow at CoMetrics and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, and is a partner in Burlington Associates in Community Development. He is a lecturer at UC Berkeley and is Senior Program Officer for the Local Initiatives Support Corporation.
