Purpose

Through the AHG program, approximately 400 units of deeply affordable housing will be provided monthly rental subsidy which will allow the property to target funding to households that earn 30% or less of Area Median Income (AMI). Clients served by these AHG subsidized units are required to have access to case management supportive services provided by the project. Supportive case management service costs are not paid directly through the AHG program.

  4. All AHG designated units must be provided supportive case management services. See Attachment C – Case Management Services Plan Template.

  6. The project may NOT currently be receiving rental subsidy
