HAPT model (from Commerce) – Method C

This would increase urban allocations equally with 40% each allowing rural sub-allocations for LAMIRD’s. Only 94 units of rural 50-80% AMI can be redistributed to 0-50% LAMIRD categories
(to be determined as appropriate later by County). This method redistributes UGA lower income brackets units to middle housing >120% AMI, resulting in a sizeable increase of 70 units
for each UGA in the 120% category. This lessens pressure to deliver high amounts of extremely affordable housing with competitive grant conflicts and limited capacity for area housing
providers.
