The ADFA Board will determine who will receive the funds based on a competitive scoring process with the recommendations of ADFA staff and the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Committee. Does affordable housing mean unattractive, cheaply built high density apartment buildings?
No, quality affordable housing developments like those the trust fund would assist in developing are designed by skilled architects to be attractive and to fit into the neighborhoods in which they are built. Affordable housing can be single-family detached structures or any multifamily structures ranging from duplexes to large scale apartment complexes. Decisions and authority to permit, zone, etc. are that of local government. Zoning ordinances and local officials will determine the density appropriate for the existing infrastructure at the site where such housing is proposed.
