Program Description
Multi-Family Housing Programs
This program creates, preserves, and rehabilitates affordable multi-family housing units. This section provides funding to supplement rents through rental agreements, negotiates Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILOTS), reviews and approves rental building sales through the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) program, and negotiates and completes loans to create or preserve affordable units. Loans are made to the Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC), nonprofit organizations, property owners, and for-profit developers.
Major funding for these projects is provided from the Montgomery Housing Initiative Fund and other County Funds, the Federal HOME Grant, the Federal Community Development Block Grant, and State grants. The program emphasizes the leveraging of County funds with other public and private funds in undertaking these activities.
