She explained Bel'Age would yield 180 units of senior housing, originally developed with 72 affordable units and the term for that affordability would be up in 2020. With the approval of the multifamily housing revenue bonds, she indicated, the developer would then provide for 178 units of affordable housing of which 59 units would be for very low incomes and 119 units for low incomes. The developer also requested 90 units of project-based Section 8 subsidies and in addition would agree to give the City 99 years of affordability. To summarize, Ms. Stipkovich remarked, the amount of affordable housing in this project would be expanded from the original concept and the life of the project extended from year 2020 to 2107.
