Replace housing for extremely low-income households one-for-one
» Replace all 196 units of housing for extremely low-income households within approximately 479 units of new construction mixed-income rental housing » Build approximately 283 additional housing units with the goal of decreasing concentrated poverty (41% of total new construction replacement housing) » Ensure first-right-to-return for target households » Align bedroom sizes with the current target household and waitlist needs
STRATEGY 2
Increase high-quality, affordable housing options in Western Heights » Build 184 additional units that would be affordable to families making 60% AMI (38% of the total new construction replacement housing)
STRATEGY 3
Create market-rate rental housing, integrated into the community » Build approximately 99 additional market-rate housing units that would be priced affordably relative to the market but would not have rent restrictions per Choice Neighborhoods guidelines (21% of the total new construction replacement housing)
