Incentive Policy for Affordable Housing in USA

The City Council has adopted policies that aim to further the goal of housing that is affordable within Flagstaff. The Incentive Policy for Affordable Housing (IPAH) incentivizes developments that commit to permanently affordable housing units. If a developer desires to take advantage of the incentives offered under the IPAH document, they would need to provide rental and/or ownership opportunities that have resale and rent restrictions placed on the units for the intended affordable housing population. In addition, the 2001 Regional Land Use and Transportation Plan established a series of goals and strategies to guide the development of decent and affordable housing. Further emphasizing the need for decent housing for the community, the 2005 Community Housing Policy Task Force, the 2006 Comprehensive Plan, and the 2008 Community Housing and Sustainability NEXUS Study (NEXUS Study) all put forth strategies to aid in the preservation and development of attainable housing. Specifically, it was recommended that the 2001 Affordable Housing Set-Aside Policy be updated to reflect the market changes and to further incentivize the development and preservation of housing that is attainable to citizens of Flagstaff.
