(a) Use of Fees. All monies contributed pursuant to the Jobs Housing Linkage Fee Program in Section 413.1et seq. shall be deposited in the Citywide Affordable Housing Fund (“Fund”), established in Administrative Code Section 10.100-49. The receipts in the Fund collected under Section 413.1et seq. shall be used solely to increase the supply of housing affordable to qualifying households subject to the conditions of this Section 413.9. The fees collected under this Section may not be used, by way of loan or otherwise, to pay any administrative, general overhead, or similar expense of any entity. MOHCD shall develop procedures such that, for all projects funded by the Citywide Affordable Housing Fund, MOHCD requires the project sponsor or its successor in interest to give preference in occupying units as provided for in Administrative Code Chapter 47.
(1) Preservation and Acquisition Funds.
(A) Designation of Funds. MOHCD shall designate and separately account for 10% of all fees that it receives under Section 413.1et seq. that are deposited into the Fund to support the acquisition and rehabilitation of rent restricted affordable rental housing.
(B) Use of Preservation and Acquisition Funds. The funds shall be used exclusively to acquire and preserve existing housing with the goal of making such housing permanently affordable, including but not limited to acquisition of housing through the City’s Small Sites Program.
