Please come and voice your opinion on the budget. Important Affordable Housing Bond Information The Manager's Recommended Budget includes $10 million for the 2008 bond referendum. The Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board request is for $30 million. It is important to receive this full amount without taking much needed funding from Neighborhood Improvements. Our affordable housing needs have never been greater. With the challenges related to foreclosures and the growing problems related to homelessness, we must have the resources to meet our growing needs. If you agree, please attend the budget hearing on Monday, May 12 at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers. Housing Trust Fund chtf logo <http://portal.mxlogic.com/images/transparent.gif> The Housing Trust Fund was established by the City Council in November 2001 and in 2002 the HTF Advisory Board was created to oversee the Trust Fund. Projects are funded through a competitive Request for Proposal Process. Priority is given to projects aimed at households earning $19, 230 annually (30% area median income.) The HTF has financed 3,236 affordable ownership, rental and special needs housing units. A recent market study shows that Charlotte has an unmet need for affordable housing increasing to 16,924 units by 2012. This $30 million bond is important to help meet this critical need, especially to those who are very low income and homeless.
