[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The council directly distributes about $30 million in a year uncompetitively awarded grants to “community organizations” in a manner that lacks transparency and reeks of a slush fund. Add that to the developer giveaways and how much affordable housing can we directly build a year? I think a lot. [/quote] Rockville's Main Street project cost $22 million for 70 units, of which 53 are income-limited. https://www.multihousingnews.com/partially-affordable-community-opens-in-metro-washington-dc/[/quote] So there we have it. Cutting direct subsidies and this “slush fund” could provide at least 150 affordable units per year. Which is a lot of housing that is not getting built. [/quote]
