What constraints or limitations with internal capacity is the organizarion experiencing related to its Pre-Development Project?
Not being reimbursed by the City for this grant is putting tremendous strain on our organization.
What opportunities, if any, did the organization take advantage of related to its Pre-Development Project?
We are working with existing homeowners who want to remain in their homes but can't afford to due to maintenance or property taxes. HTS would purchase the home, make repairs, and then sell it back to them at a lower price using the CLT model which would ensure they're property taxes are assessed at the affordable price, not the market price.
