Good afternoon, Mayor and Commissioners, city leadership, and AHAC members.
But before I go on, I'd like to acknowledge members from the Housing and Community Development team that are present here with me today.
I have with me Assistant Housing and Community Development Manager, Olivette Carter, and our very newly appointed planner, Amanda.
Her first day in HCD.
Okay, so today the AHEC will discuss three primary incentives, and staff will also seek direction on two prior incentives that were discussed with the Commission.
The three incentives to be discussed today are, one, increase public awareness and education on affordable housing activities, the use of city-owned land for affordable housing,
and to develop an affordable housing master plan.
And I will hand over to Chair Sprague.
Totally forgot that I had a cue, I'm going from...
which will lead the AHAC team in further discussing those incentives.
And then from there, we will seek the Commission's feedback on implementation of the incentives discussed, having a discussion around accessory dwelling unit policies and waiver of impact fees for affordable housing.
Under public awareness and education, which is the first incentive that will be discussed, the AHEC will seek input on how can we increase communication and marketing to city residents on rental and home ownership opportunities.
THEY WILL ALSO SEEK TO EXPLORE PARTNERSHIPS TO PROVIDE WORKSHOP FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS AND RESEARCH INCOME AND APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.
BUT BEFORE I HAND OVER THIS ITEM TO THE AHAC, I'D LIKE TO EXPLAIN TO THE COMMISSION SOME OF THE PROGRAMS WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE ADDRESSING SOME OF THESE ITEMS.
The city does some level of marketing on all housing activities that are funded through housing and community development.
We have purchase assistance, housing rehabilitation, and rent assistance.
THOSE ARE PROMOTED THROUGH OUR STRATCOM TEAMS.
WE HAVE MARKETING MATERIAL WHICH IS SHARED WITH OUR NONPROFITS AND ALSO WITH OUR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A HUD CERTIFIED HOUSING COUNSELING AND THOSE AGENCIES THAT ARE HUD CERTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY ARE WELL AWARE AND THEY DO PROMOTE THESE ITEMS.
ON INCENTIVE TWO, THE USE OF CITY OWNED LAND FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
The AHAC will review the city's process for determining the use of city-owned property for developments with 15% to 20% of the units targeting households at 50% AMI or at 50% area median income.
