- What: the city's 2026 notice of funding availability (NOFA) for the below market rate (BMR) housing fund, an informational item (M2) on 10/13/2026; staff planned to send it out the next day.
- Council comments: Taylor asked to set aside money for tenant relocation, legal and rental assistance; staff said legal assistance and rental assistance programs are separately budgeted and due before council later in October, and relocation is paid by developers. Nash asked to encourage downtown housing developers to apply; staff said the rule requiring ownership of two 100 percent affordable developments limits eligibility.
- Outcome: no changes to the notice.
