Impact analysis
The program is funded with city downpayment assistance dollars; expanded eligibility could spread the same money across more households.
Descendants and, if amended, displaced renters connected to the Rondo and West Side Flats communities seeking homeownership help.
None identified, though narrowing eligibility could exclude some current applicants.
