Affordable Housing

Don, Neighbor

The Independent had a Livermore resident wrote in that she was "appalled" by to Affordable Housing ad in the Independent for Avalon Dublin Station. Studio $1595/mth, 1 Bdrm $1735 with maximum incomes of $78,550. I would have to agree. If they don't meet HUD section 8 they should not use the term "affordable housing", can be misleading.

Such maximum affordable rents shall be set at rates such that qualified occupants for low-income units pay monthly rent that does not exceed thirty percent of the gross monthly household income for households earning sixty percent of the median income
comparable units in the area
