WHEREAS, one of the City's strengths is its diverse housing stock, including shared ownership housing consisting of condominiums, cooperatives and townhomes, where collective decision making is required to manage the common areas ("Shared Ownership Housing"); and
WHEREAS, it is challenging for homeowner's associations of Shared Ownership Housing ("HOAs") to obtain financing, due to the unsecured nature of any such financing; and

shall not exceed $50,000 per unit of Shared Ownership Housing;

shall be subject to funds availability and rules established by the Authorized DOH Officer; and
shall only be available to HOAs that change their governing documents or enter into regulatory agreements to keep a minimum of 50% of the units as owner-occupied units ("Owner Occupied Units") with both of the following restrictions:
the average appraised value for the Owner Occupied Units is determined affordable to residents at or below 120% AMI, or in the alternative, the residents of the Owner Occupied Units are determined to have income at or below 120% AMI; and
at least 25% of the current Owner Occupied Units are occupied by long terms residents of 10 years or longer, or in the alternative, vacancy, occupancy and issues of governance are such that the property is considered to be in distress and may be subject to code violations and risk of resident displacement.
