The Community Development Commission is seeking greater clarity on the allocation and decision-making process surrounding the $300 million in Project Connect funds for affordable housing.
To date, four major properties have been acquired using Project Connect funds, demonstrating a focused effort to combat displacement through strategic investments in housing near mass transit.
Commissioner Jose Elias emphasized the importance of adjusting income thresholds, suggesting that a lower income cap than 80 percent of median family income would better serve the community's needs.
The city's ongoing projects aim not just to create new housing units but to preserve existing affordable housing, highlighting a balanced approach to anti-displacement strategies.
