ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW DRAFT Policies and Actions Implementation Strategies Action 56.05 A: Protection Strategy for At Risk Units Develop a strategy to protect the 73 below market rate (BMR) rent units set to expire in 2008 at the Greenhouse Townhomes (8 very low and 3 low income units) and Parkside Commons (3 very low and 58 low income units). The strategy should include the following components: • Offering low -interest rehabilitation loans or other forms offinancial assistance to owners of these properties in exchange an agreement to retain the units as affordable. • Working collaboratively with the project owners and non-profit housing developers who may be interested in acquiring an ownership share in the project. • Exploring other incentives (such as fee reductions or allowances for additional development) in exchange for a renewal of affordability restrictions.
