Inactive - Last Meeting: 3/5/2020

PURPOSE: During its meeting on October 29, 2018, City Council approved the Mayor's appointments to the Affordable Housing Plan Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will be responsible for overseeing the overall development of the Affordable Housing Plan. The expectation is the process will take 12 months, and the Steering Committee will meet monthly in order to ensure that work moves forward in a timely manner. The Affordable Housing Plan will likely follow the American Planning Association’s Policy Principles, which are intended to break down local, state, federal barriers to more housing choice, as a framework and include the following components:
