Lincoln's housing is still relatively affordable; however, as we continue to grow, maintaining and increasing the supply of quality affordable housing has become a greater issue. We have partners working on affordable housing; however, we are now proactively seeking to develop a plan of action to ensure coordinated efforts and structures are in place to continue providing quality affordable housing to Lincoln's residents.

The overall purpose of this project is to develop an action plan that identifies and then applies the most effective strategies that address Lincoln's housing affordability needs. The entire spectrum of housing costs should be assessed with a particular emphasis on quality affordable housing for renters at the 30%-80% AMI threshold.

A comprehensive review of Lincoln's affordable housing data is required (to be provided), along with current housing affordability efforts and policies in Lincoln, and identify and conduct additional data analysis as needed. Address both rental and homeownership models. Strategies and their implementation are to be identified with costs and potential funding sources.
