Support the County’s Executive’s proposed acquisition and preservation fund. Recommend that 100% PILOT tax abatements to affordable housing properties until the crisis passes. Multifamily providers are scrambling to preserve cash flow to sustain their communities and cover anticipated shortfalls in rental revenue, and property tax abatements will go a long way to this end; --The County should provide funding to ensure that investments in new affordable housing continue even as the fiscal outlook remains cloudy by providing an additional $10 million on the capital side of the Housing Initiative Fund (HIF).
