Editor's Notes
- How TOD Fund Works: Finance land and property acquisition to produce over 1,000 affordable homes over the next 10 yearsProvide patient high-risk capital quickly at low cost to a mission-driven entity (ULC) committed to affordable mixed-use development near transitEnable property to be purchased while prices are still low so that existing housing can be preserved or “land banked” for redevelopment for a period of up to five years. Ensure that when property values go up around transit sites, lower-income families are not forced out of the housing market.
