She <br /> said a specific type of housing is not being targeted but rather to increase the supply of <br /> housing overall. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the 2001 bond committee group had a similar approach, but <br /> he thought the group deviated from the approach. He said he assumes there will be further <br /> discussions about what is available in the community and what the needs are. <br /> Chair McKee said he hoped all of these units would be blended into the general <br /> environment of affordable housing, versus being separate and potentially stigmatized. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if modular or mobile units fit in to the plan somewhere. <br /> Audrey Spencer Horsley said this housing would fit into all categories and across the <br /> spectrum. <br /> Commissioner Rich said it would be good to have a list of all of the affordable housing <br /> units built from the 2001 bond. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> O Example Projects — Supportive Housing New Construction <br /> • CASA - Salisbury Apartments <br /> • 10 units, Raleigh, 2009 <br /> O Example Projects — Supportive Housing New Construction <br /> • CASA— Denson 1, November 2014 <br /> • 11 units, Durham, 2014 <br /> O Low to Moderate Income — 500 units <br /> • Target population <br /> o 50% to80% AMI <br /> o Up to $56,550 for family of four <br />
