Circulate releases report: Home Run for Homes

Circulates newest report, Home Run for Homes, was released at a press conference with Mayor Todd Gloria on Monday, April 18.

The report details the success of San Diego’s Affordable Homes Bonus Program, which allows developers to build more homes if they agree to dedicate a portion of a new multi-family project as affordable.

It received widespread news coverage in local, state, and national publications. The full report, along with a collection of news coverage, can be found here.

A recording of our webinar on the report is here.

Book Talk with Jenny Schuetz

Please join, virtually or in person, the San Diego Regional Policy & Innovation Center and Circulate San Diego for a book event with Dr. Jenny Schuetz about the release of Dr. Schuetz’s new book, “Fixer-Upper: How to Repair America’s Broken Housing Systems.”

Fixer-Upper is the first book assessing how the broad set of local, state, and national housing policies affect people and communities. It does more than describe how yesterday’s policies led to today’s problems. It proposes practical policy changes than can make stable, decent-quality housing more available and affordable for all Americans in all communities.

“Housing affordability is one of the most important problems facing American families. Using an economic lens, Fixer-Upper presents a clear and compelling diagnosis of today’s housing ills and illuminates the path forward to reach the nation’s goal of decent and affordable homes and strong communities for all.” — Chris Herbert, managing director, Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies.

Just Two Senior Saturday Events Left! Join Us May 14th!

Last weekend on April 23rd, Circulate and the City of National City’s Community Services Department co-hosted the sixth of eight Senior Saturday events in Kimball Park! Seniors from across the region gathered together to play board games, listen to music provided by Villa Musica, test ride e-bikes from Rad Power Bikes, and interact with informational booths.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our partner organizations for this event, which included the aforementioned groups as well as Feeding San Diego, Casa Familiar, the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, American Medical Response, and Family Health Centers of San Diego.

Join us at the same spot on May 14th (10am-1pm) to participate in a music therapy class, play with dogs, listen to a live rondalla performance, and access resources for transportation assistance, adult education, volunteer opportunities, and more!
