Please support HRDC's request for assistance for the Boulevard and
Darlinton Apartments preservation and renovation. The Affordable
Housing needs assessment notes that the community is already indesperate need of additional housing units for people at all income levels.
As this community continues to grow, the preservation of affordable
housing like the Boulevard and Darlinton Manor is critical. At this time,
only 5% of the City's rentals are affordable to households earning lessthan 60% AMI, however 45% of renters fall below this income level. Only
1% of units are affordable to very low income households earning less
than 30% AMI. Our community is already in an extreme housing crisis;
the loss of these units would be staggering, and the subsidy irreplaceable.
