Spend $30,000 in housing fees to hire lawyers for affordable housing law updates

Housing & HomelessnessBudget

In Plain English

Developers pay the city fees when they build market-rate housing instead of including affordable units. The city has collected these fees but needs legal help updating its affordable housing requirements. If approved, lawyers will draft changes to rules that require new developments to include affordable housing or pay fees.
