Join us for the Affordable Housing Advisory Board meeting!

Date: October 16
Time: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

We’re excited to announce that this meeting  will feature presentations from applicants seeking funding from the 2025 Affordable Housing Trust Fund. These projects are designed to support residents living at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and include:

• Acquisition, rehabilitation, and development of affordable housing
• Accessibility modifications for affordable housing
• Housing vouchers and rental assistance
• Community engagement projects focused on affordable housing
• Initiatives that advance racial equity in housing

The City is poised to award up to $1.2 million in Trust Fund grants, with over $5 million in requests submitted. So far, the Trust Fund has helped develop 372 new affordable housing units, with 364 more currently in progress. Additionally, the Fund provides crucial support for vouchers, rent and utility assistance, as well as rehab and accessibility modifications for low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities.

This meeting plays a vital role in the City’s commitment to the A Place for Everyone plan, which aims to reach functional zero for homelessness. The affordable housing goals of this plan focus on increasing both rental and homeownership opportunities while enhancing access to existing affordable housing options.

Community members are encouraged to attend the presentations to learn more about these impactful initiatives. You can participate in person at the City Commission room, watch on Live Video Stream or the City’s YouTube Channel
