Bill
Right now, the Housing Trust Fund Commission can cancel an affordable housing grant and reclaim funds if a recipient doesn't finish within 24 months, regardless of project type. This ordinance gives new construction projects a longer window — 36 months — before the Commission can cancel, while keeping the 24-month deadline for preservation and rehabilitation projects.
