The Human Resource Development Council performs the contract administration for the City of Bozeman under these contracts as we have in the past. Greenwood Plaza has been providing affordable housing under a 20,.year HUD contract since 1981. In October 2001, that HUD contract expired. Consequently, Greenwood Plaza's owners had the option of renewing their HUD contract and continuing to provide affordable housing or converting their 50 apartments to market rents. The HRDC is pleased to report that the Greenwood Plaza owners agreed to renewal and will provide affordable housing for another 20 years. The enclosed documents reflect that 20 year affordability commitment. By 2007, every subsidized housing contract in the country will expire. Upon expiration, the project owners can either renew their HUD contracts or opt out and take their rents to market. To date, none of our area's subsidized housing owners, whose contracts have expired, have opted out. Of the projects that renewed their HUD contracts, six projects (consisting of 287 units) continued as affordable due to the HRDC's housing preservation activities. Please contact me if you have any questions. 9'~'::~:~':::'~~:~~[> HRDC provides essential services such as; I Affordable Housing I CaBe Management I Community Development &'Y ~C\':~ ' Emergency Services 'Employment Assi~tance '.
