S14 16-0260 Subject: Infrastructure Affordable Housing Bond Enabling Ordinance
From: Office Of The City Administrator
Recommendation: Adopt An Resolution Of Intent To Establish A Grant Program To Qualified Low-Income Senior And Disabled Resident Property Owners To Offset Taxes Resulting From The Proposed Ordinance To Authorize The Issuance Of $600,000,000 In General Obligation Bonds To Fund Various City Infrastructure And Affordable Housing Projects (Measure KK)
Thank you for addressing the affordable housing crisis in Oakland.
The crisis is here and not just about to displace more and more residents. We have more than 2000 people and families living outside on streets, underpasses, doorways, parks, parking lots, and in so many, many areas in our community. Please allocate a portion of funds to people without homes and prioritize supporting this community. The additional funding and programs for addressing this winter's challenges is a start, and yet that's all. It's a start.
Please also consider issuing grant funds as opposed to issuing loans to build affordable housing.
Thank you,
