All units under the proposed Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) mapping will be permanently affordable to individuals 62 years or older, earning 60% of AMI or less.

  • Frank Lang, Deputy Executive Director for Housing, initially states 10% of units would be permanently affordable, which is later clarified.
  • Judith Gallent, Land Use Attorney, explains that all units are affordable to heirs, with age and income requirements.
  • Lang emphasizes that all units are made permanently affordable through refinancing efforts.
  • Gallent clarifies that MIH mapping is for redevelopment scenarios, and Ares' own affordability requirements apply in perpetuity.

How many units will be permanently affordable under the proposed MIH mapping?

Parliament?
0:28:31
Well, I think it would be 10%.
0:28:33
Right?
Judith Gallent

All of the units would be affordable their heirs units.
0:28:41
So to be heirs, they have to be available to those who are sixty two years of age or more and earning 60% of AMI maximum, and all of the units will be available at that income level.
Frank Lang

We just chairs who understand we, all of our units are permanently affordable even if they're not required to be.
0:29:04
And we've done refinancing and done that to make sure all of them stay that way.

And if I could just clarify, NIH is being mapped in the event that this project is destroyed by a casualty or something and it were redeveloped, then NIH would kick in.
0:29:21
But because there are errors, the NIH options don't actually apply.
0:29:25
Ares has its own affordability requirements in in perpetuity.
