Affordable units can be either single family homes or rental apartments.
For rental developments the owner must sign an agreement to rent the affordable units to low and moderate income persons. Interested builders must first contact the Community Development Department to have their developments or portions of their developments certified as affordable housing. The Department has a limited amount of funding available each year to offer as low interest rate secondary financing for developments that include affordable housing units. These may be units that will be sold or rented to low or moderate income persons. Other priorities include the geographic distribution of affordable units throughout the Urban County and developments that complement neighborhood revitalization efforts.
