Metro tries to find more affordable housing funds as bargains beckon
Briefly

The changing real estate landscape has resulted in a decline in purchase prices for existing apartment buildings, prompting the elected regional government, Metro, to consider a proposal to revise the previously established Supportive Housing Services tax measure. President Lynn Peterson's proposal aims to allocate some previously committed funds to acquire these lower-cost housing opportunities, though it faces controversy for including other modifications. As affordable housing deals become more viable, Metro has already committed its available funds, creating a new context for necessary adjustments in funding strategies.
