Committee members provide a critical review of the projects which ensures substantial leverage of CDBG, HOME, HOPWA , and PLHA funds.

3. Attendance/Representation: The AHFC committee achieved a quorum at the annual meeting in April. There are currently two vacancies. Senior Housing Planner Kristin Sherk staffed the committee.

4. Training/Certification: There has not been any special training in the past year. Staff provides information to committee members on webinars that provide information on affordable housing finance and development related topics.

5. Proposed Work Plan/Objectives for Next Year: In 2023, the AHFC will meet at least once. One meeting will be in the spring and additional meetings will be held if additional applications are received during the year.
