The City shall work with developers to facilitate affordable housing development. Specifically, the City shall review available funding programs annually and shall provide technical support in the application for State, Federal, and other public affordable funding sources, and, as funding permits, shall provide gap financing for affordable housing. Gap financing shall focus on rental housing units affordable to lower-income households and households with special needs (e.g., seniors, extremely low-income households, and persons with disabilities, including developmental disabilities), especially projects that promote the City’s goals relating to transit-oriented development and jobs/housing balance.
