AHO Accomplishments!
What has the 100% Affordable Housing Overlay accomplished so far?
In its first few years, the AHO has enabled 12 developments in 9 neighborhoods, which include about 675 new homes plus 365 to be entirely or substantially rebuilt. Cumulatively, these sites will include housing for the formerly unhoused (with on-site services), replacement for structurally unusable apartments in public housing, senior housing, more large apartments for families, and will put historic but unused buildings to productive use.
It is estimated that the rate of affordable housing development jumped from 40 units per year prior to the AHO to an average of 200 units per year under the AHO.
You can find more details on these projects on the City’s Affordable Housing Overlay page.
