Afford-A-Home Loan Forgiveness

At a glance

Built from the official City Council minutes of April 6, May 11 and May 18, 2026. The newest minutes posted are May 18; every Council meeting after that has an agenda only, and no committee minutes are posted since April, so anything that happened after May 18 is not in this page.

• What: Ordinance 189-2024 would let the Director of Community Development forgive up to $10,000 in loan balances in Afford-A-Home loans for eligible participants, release the mortgages and cancel the promissory notes.
• Where it stands: On May 18, 2026 it was taken up under 'Ordinances to be Tabled' (same treatment as Slavic Village Neighborhood Development Fund). The motion shown carried 14-0, but the item is a 2024 ordinance still pending, so it was tabled. Confirm on Legistar.

Detail

• Introduced in 2024, so it has been pending for roughly two years.
