Questions & Answers
1. (Increase affordable housing) What would you do to increase the supply of affordable housing now that we no longer have redevelopment?
Fremont needs to attract private funding, much like the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County. This non-profit has received in excess of a million dollars apiece from companies such as Google, Adobe Systems, Cisco Systems, Inter, Applied Materials Inc. and Hewlett-Packard to put towards affordable housing developments. There is also the Northern Silicon Valley Partnership, a consortium of six Alameda County agencies dedicated to economic development and job creation. We are definitely part of Silicon Valley and need to take advantage of available resources. In addition, SB1220, the Housing Opportunity Trust Fund Act of 2012, is another possible source of funds.
