Impact analysis
The land sells for $1, but roughly $5.7 million in total project funding including an $8 million Housing Authority allocation supports the affordable units.
Low-income renters — two units restricted at or below 50% of area median income and eight at or below 60% AMI — plus the surrounding University Avenue corridor.
