Developers, community leaders discuss affordable housing

The Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Department hosted a series of meetings on Dec. 3 for developers and community leaders to discuss expanding city programs and policies that would incentivize affordable housing construction in the city. Community members may view the entire presentation online. The meetings were following up on a community dialogue that began in December 2018, when NHCD invited developers and community leaders “to provide input on revamping and streamlining the Affordable Housing Development Assistance process.” The result was that NHCD has made “significant progress for affordable housing construction,” said James May, NHCD community development manager.
