Silk Purse Acquisition

Description

CRHA is asking the city for $3 million to buy 11 of Jeremy Kaplan's properties — 13 deeply affordable units that can't support a conventional loan at current rents.

Impact summary

Keeps 13 families in homes renting about $1,500 below market, avoiding almost certain loss of affordability if sold on the open market.
