How it got here
This legislation originated from the need to provide project-based rental subsidies for an affordable housing project following the approval of Proposition G by San Francisco voters.
Voters approved Proposition G, establishing the Affordable Housing Opportunity Fund (AHOF) to provide rental subsidies for extremely low-income households.
MOHCD issued a Notice of Funding Availability for the AHOF, seeking proposals for rental subsidies to support extremely low-income households.
The committee recommended approval of a grant to 160 Freelon Housing Partners, LP for project-based rental subsidies, totaling $2,559,101.
The Board received and assigned the resolution to approve the grant agreement for the 160 Freelon project, which will provide rental subsidies for an 85-unit affordable housing project.
