Description

This project provides funding for acquisition and/or renovation of properties for the purpose of preserving or increasing the County's affordable housing inventory. The County may purchase properties or assist not-for-profit, tenant, or for-profit entities, or Housing Opportunities Commission with bridge financing to purchase and renovate properties. The monies may be used to purchase properties that are offered to the County under the Right of First Refusal Law or otherwise available for purchase. A portion of the units in these properties must serve households with incomes that are at or below incomes eligible for the Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit (MPDU) program. A priority should be given to rental housing.
