      Council Member Salamanca inquires about how HPD determines if a property is suitable for their financing programs, particularly the Open Door program. HPD officials Kim Darga and Ahmed Tagani provide detailed explanations on the evaluation process for both private and public sites.

      • For private sites, developers submit proposals which HPD evaluates based on program alignment and financial feasibility.
      • For public sites, HPD considers community feedback, neighborhood plans, land characteristics, and development feasibility.
      • HPD also looks at the local real estate market to ensure they're providing affordable opportunities at a significant discount to market rates.
