The City of Albany is applying for the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) federal grant. The PRO Housing grant program is dedicated to helping communities remove barriers to affordable housing production and preservation. For more information about the PRO Housing grant, please refer to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s PRO Housing website.
The City is seeking $2.5 million to establish an Affordable Housing Fund to incentivize affordable housing and implement strategies to remove barriers to equitable housing choice. The grant will help Albany address a severe shortage of housing affordable to households below 100 percent of the area median income (AMI), by removing land use barriers to housing, identifying and addressing barriers to fair housing choice, and incentivizing the construction of new affordable housing units.
