The Community Development Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco invites you to a policy briefing and engaging discussion on promoting housing and transportation affordability. Panelists will illustrate challenges in developing affordable transit-oriented housing developments including requirements for excessive parking, community opposition and financing hurdles. They will then explore solutions that are reducing costs for developers and residents alike, such as providing free transit passes and carsharing to dramatically reduce demands for excess parking, as well as new financing mechanisms being pioneered in the Bay Area. Please join fellow developers, lenders, investors, advocates, and community stakeholders to discuss the barriers that are being broken by TransForm's GreenTRIP certification program, as well as other policies, programs, and tools that can lower the hurdles for affordable transit oriented housing development.
