Condo and rental developments include a small percentage of affordable units within them. So say you have a 200 unit building with above market rate (aka EXPENSIVE) rental or sale units ($800K+ condos)...of those 200 units 5% are sold or rented at below market rate and capped at a certain dollar amount offered to qualified applicants/buyers only (aka income verified to be lower than regional average).
The goal is to limit displacement of long time neighborhood residents by providing a means for them to remain once the place is redeveloped and to ensure that a place doesn't end up being 100% rich folk....
