Comments Due Monday on Infill
Guidelines |

The second draft of the Proposition IC Infill Infrastructure
Grant Program guidelines has been released by the
Departtment of Housing and Community Development.
Many of the issues raised in the first draft have been
addressed in this version, including the inclusion of
on-site parking as an eligible cost. The revised
guidelines also provide a greater boost for
affordability plus density adjustments for projects that
have more than 30 units per acre in urban locations. The
minimum grant amount has been reduced to $500,000 per
project. A Memo regarding
the guidelines requests specific feedback on grant
amounts for density adjustments. Comments are due by the

List Available Units for Fire
Victims |
|
As more families displaced by the wildfires in
Southern California
look for transitional housing,
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development
is expanding its list of available rental housing and
strongly
encouraging multifamily property owners and
landlords to include their unoccupied housing units in
HUD's National Housing Locator System (NHLS). Working
with federal and private housing databases, HUD is
providing a step-by-step process that allows property
owners and landlords to easily input their rental
housing information into the NHLS.
Landlords and property owners can add available
units to the National Housing Locator by going to www.socialserve.com and completing the
registration form. A press release describing the
service is here. |
