I'll hand it over to Chair Sprague to explain.
Currently, the city does have a comprehensive plan which has a housing element.
As staff, we use that as our guide in terms of projects that we're undertaking.
And so I'm going to hand over to Chair Sprague for more development on why the AHEC is recommending a standalone affordable housing master plan.
NOT SPECIFICALLY AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING MASTER PLAN, BUT EVERY FIVE YEARS YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO DO THAT HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN, WHICH SECTIONS OF THESE THAT'S LISTED HERE ARE ELEMENTS OF THAT PLAN, TOO.
AND JUST THE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMPONENT, THE LAST TIME WE DID ONE IN 2019 COST US AT THAT TIME $60,000.
So with inflation and different things added, it should be somewhere upwards of that.
That is correct, Mayor, but if I might add or speak on behalf of the AHAP based on the discussions that we've been having.
Your analogy is correct.
However, I believe the component of affordability that we're not wrapping our hands around fully is that 50% AMI and below.
And most of the developers who come to the table, they're looking to serve 120% up to 140% AMI.
And to Mayor, I'm going to hand over back to Chair Sprague, but just a component that we need to consider is when we're looking at this population, it's the population that is most at risk for homelessness.
That's the population that drives homelessness.
And we're looking for policy guidance as to what kind of policy this commission would be comfortable with us attaching, especially for the projects that we're giving some kind of incentive, that we're incentivizing as a city, so that we're doing a better job of targeting that population.
Not specifically what percent, but if I may speak, and if I'm speaking out of turn, board members, please correct me, but having a policy where we can attach the AMI that we would like to target when we're incentivizing projects.
is where would you like to see staff explore?
Do you want us to focus 80% and below, 50% and below?
Because we said we already have a market that's coming to us for the 80% and above.
So where would you like to see us focus with the incentives that we can offer?
We'll get a picture of you guys right over here.
