Please place on the June 6, 2018 City Commission agenda a referral to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee to consider the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee’s motion to market City initiatives that cater to workforce housing.

At their May 15, 2018 Affordable Housing Advisory Committee meeting, the committee members unanimously passed the following motion:

Motion made by Allison Stone
Motion seconded by Matthew Land

Motion Text:

The Committee recognizes that there are numerous programs which have funds to distribute that cater to workforce housing (up to 120% AMI), such as assistance to first time home buyers and home owner rehabilitation, which many eligible persons are not aware of. In order to make said eligible persons aware of these available funds and programs, the Committee recommends that the Commission utilize existing resources to market the programs to the community. The Committee recommends that outreach begin as soon as possible in order for educators to capture these opportunities over the summer months.

Motion Passage: Unanimously
