The County of Santa Clara has a variety of properties it owns or controls and some of them are suitable for residential development. The County has established a process to give the community an opportunity to work in partnership with the County to develop affordable housing on these sites.

Development process

On September 4, 2019, the County of Santa Clara Office of Supportive Housing issued a Request for Qualifications to create a pool of prequalified affordable housing developers who could respond to solicitations to develop affordable housing on County-owned land. This Developer Qualified Pool (DQP) consists of 16 experienced developers that are aligned with the County’s goals of increasing affordable housing for the County’s most vulnerable and poorest residents. As County-controlled properties become available, the County issues a Request for Offers to accept development proposals from the DQP. 

Upcoming housing developments

The County has selected developers from the DQP to develop affordable housing on the following sites:
