Subject:2012 Advisory Body Annual Report for the Affordable Housing Finance Committee (AHFC)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Accomplishments: The AHFC reviewed 10 applications and provided funding recommendations to the Board of
Supervisors through the Department of Conservation and Development. Committee members provide a critical
review of the projects which ensures substantial leverage of CDBG and HOME funds.

Representative seat is vacant. The current members primarily represent West and Central County. The AHFC strives
to have a diverse committee. Kara Douglas staffed the committee.

committee members on webinars that provide information on related topics.
5. Proposed Work Plan/Objectives for Next Year: In 2013, the AHFC will meet at least once, probably in February.
Additional meetings will be held if applications are received during the year.

The Board of Supervisors would not have a 2012 report on the AHFC.
