We Have Bond Money for Affordable Housing – Now What?
This session will highlight Foothill-De Anza’s allocation of $200M of bond monies for student and/or employee housing. With the approval of funding comes a plethora of questions.
How do we allocate?
Which cohorts do we serve?
What location(s) serve our two-college district?
What are implications for new build and/or acquisitions relative to Ed. Code and treatment of taxes?
How do we work with our board and what approvals are necessary?
What makes for a strong, inclusive implementation plan that embraces the intent of the bond monies?
The session/discussion will address processes that embrace shared participation and community input while also relying upon qualitative and quantitative data and financial sensitivity analyses to empower decision making. It will entail a lively discussion encompassing facilities, finance, legal counsel, and advisory and how all parties worked together and challenged each other to move forward in an efficient yet sensible manner to optimize the bond monies and address the housing insecurity challenges.
