AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION Portal
On March 2, 2020, the City began accepting applications for funding and other City-dedicated resources to catalyze further development of affordable housing within Sacramento. In light of potential revenue impacts due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the City must perform new financial forecasts over the coming months to determine its future bonding capacity.
In the meantime, the City will continue to accept Affordable Housing Development Application Portal responses and will review submitted applications on a rolling basis for projects that require non-monetary assistance (land, technical support, process information, etc.) and/or that might be supported by future federal and state economic assistance.
Applications will be reviewed using the City Council’s adopted Affordable Housing Trust Fund Framework and any other relevant source criteria. Although there is currently no deadline to apply, the City may close the application at any time.
