evidence: Announced by the mayor last year, the DHFF represents the largest single private commitment to affordable housing in the city’s history. The purpose of the DHFF is to direct private capital to support affordable housing developments in need of gap financing. Since the fund’s launch seven months ago three DHFF projects representing $31 million in total development with a DHFF investment of $7.8 million already have been announced, despite COVID-related and seasonal construction shutdowns. [...] The Duggan administration has made affordable housing a top priority as it works to help Detroiters stay in their homes amid increasing rents. The administration set a goal of preserving 10,000 units of existing affordable housing and the development of 2,000 units of new affordable housing through multiple public and private housing initiatives including DHFF. As of today, more than 1,000 new affordable housing units have opened or are under construction in the city while nearly 7,000 existing affordable units either have had their affordable rents extended for another 15-30 years or are in the pipeline to have them extended. [...] The DHFF helps to support the preservation of regulated and naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) units throughout the City to keep them affordable, as well as the development of new mixed-income and affordable housing in targeted multi-family housing areas. The DHFF primarily finances housing that is affordable to households at or below 60 percent of area median income (AMI) but will give priority to projects with lower incomes in order to direct the funds where the need is greatest. For example, 60% of AMI for an individual is $33,600, and $48,000 for a family of four.
