Mountain View advances affordable housing on a downtown parking lot

Dear Mayor Combs, City Council and Staff,

Good morning! I write with some affordable housing inspiration.

Last night, Mountain View advanced a project to build 120 homes on one of their downtown parking lots, including one manager’s unit and 119 affordable units comprised of


* "Twenty (20) rapid rehousing (RRH) units (up to 30% of Area Median Income (AMI)), which is a primary focus of Measure A funding.
* Twenty (20) extremely low-income (ELI), non-RRH units (up to 30% AMI), which is a primary focus of Measure A funding.
* Forty (40) very low-income (VLI) units (30% AMI to 50% AMI).
* Thirty-nine (39) low-income (LI) units (50% AMI to 80% AMI)."

I encourage you to view the project plans…it’s a BEAUTIFUL development!
