Edited for clarity on 8.21.21. The following map represents a combination of the preferences stated by participants (during Phase Soon) relative to where they said they would accept different types of development, and relative to where and how the greatest amount of affordable housing can be provided given the level of planned road and other infrastructure.  Please indicate your level of support for the recommendations for the red, orange, and yellow areas.

Dix Edge Land Use Map

Note: While affordable housing can occur in any location, the number and type of units allowable may vary by the location.

Question title

1. In the past, Dix Edge communities preferred that future affordable housing address households with yearly incomes below 30% of the Area Median Income. To make this happen, the public money required to make affordable housing possible would exceed what is available. What response best reflects your view?
Note: The bigger the public subsidy required to make a unit affordable, the fewer number of units that can be created before the public subsidy runs out.

Increase the number of affordable housing units by serving the needs of households making no more than 60% of area median income. This will require smaller subsidies per unit and increase the number of affordable units constructed. This will also make the projects feasible for developers interested in creating affordable housing.
51%
Provide whatever public money is required to construct a limited number of affordable units for those at the lowest income levels.
29%
Don't use public money to subsidize affordable housing. Leave it up to nonprofit and market rate developers figure out how best to create more affordable housing on their own.
