I am writing to ask for the city of Bozeman's financial support for HRDC's preservation and
renovation of the Boulevard and Darlinton Apartments. With the ever growing need foradditional affordable housing units, it is critical to preserve the affordable units that already
exist. The loss of these existing units would be a major setback to the effort to mitigate thetremendous shortage of affordable housing, particularly for those earning less than 60% of the
AMI (45% of all renters in Bozeman). With the additional challenges to financial and jobsecurity posed by the Covid pandemic, this critical need is going to grow even more rapidly in
the near term. It is imperative that the City support HRDC in their efforts to save theseimportant housing units.
Sincerely,
Patricia McKernan
