PACT: Providing Affordable Construction & Transformation
As part of the City’s ongoing commitment to affordable housing programs and initiatives, we are excited to offer a new tool to our community in the form of the PACT Program. This program seeks to incentivize home building projects that directly meet the needs identified in the 2024 Housing Study. By focusing this program on vacant lots and sites targeted for demolition, we can expand our effort to increase housing density and support growth in existing affordable neighborhoods.
