The fund operates as a lending vehicle, spreading capital across developments citywide. The $11.2 million works out to roughly $22,800 per unit, consistent with gap financing or preservation lending rather than full construction costs.

Funds of this type typically layer with low-income housing tax credits, local housing trust funds, and conventional debt. Such loan funds are a common tool for keeping existing affordable units in service and closing financing gaps on new projects.

The proposal is early-stage. Next steps include finalizing loan commitments, identifying recipient properties, and securing approvals from the fund's overseeing entities. Supported units would then proceed on individual project timelines.
