The first authorizes the creation of a Social Housing Corporation to enhance affordable housing options. This corporation would be led by a Board of Directors\, which would include members of the community\, including REALTORS®. The second\, called the Green Social Housing Corporation\, is similar to the first corporation\, and would establish a not-for-profit real estate development corporation that would finance\, acquire\, own and operate\, permanently affordable\, mixed use and environmentally sustainable housing.  \n\n\n\nAlderman Villegas will join us at Coffee With Your GAD on Tuesday\, March 4th\, to discuss these ordinances and answer your questions. Make sure to join us for this free event to get an overview of this ordinance.
