Cottonwood City Council Endorses Plan for New Affordable Apartments
$100,000 Local Loan to Aid in Securing Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
The Cottonwood City Council recently endorsed a plan to seek low-income housing tax credits for the construction of the Verde Plaza Apartments during a meeting on Tuesday, March 19. With plans to build 18 new apartments on city-owned land and renovate 52 existing ones, these apartments are intended to offer inexpensive housing options. With the council’s backing, a $100,000 local finance loan that comes from budget reserves set up for affordable housing will be taken into consideration in order to help secure competitive LIHTC awards. Given that the complex has already received over 65 applications for housing and that a sizable percentage of Cottonwood households make less than the region median income, the council’s unanimous decision represents a critical first step in addressing the city’s demand for affordable housing.
