\"OrangeWHAT: <\/strong>The Orange County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to award $13.18 million to developers proposing to build four different multi-family affordable housing developments in Orange County. This investment is the first stemming from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Program<\/a>, which was established by Mayor Demings\u2019 Housing for All Task Force.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first large-scale production of affordable housing sponsored by Orange County\u2019s Housing Trust fund and I am proud that 525 new affordable housing units are on the way,\u201d Mayor Jerry L. Demings said. \u201cEach of these projects are in areas of high access and opportunity, with proximity to transit, employment centers and community resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

The housing dollars will provide financial assistance to advance and facilitate new construction of affordable, multi-family rental housing with an emphasis on serving Orange County families, especially in low and very low-income households.<\/p>\n
