This Division also manages the Inclusionary Housing Program, and provides administrative support to the Condominium Review Board, Fair Housing Commission, Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Homelessness Prevention & Rapid Rehousing Program, and the HUD McKinney-Vento Continuum of Care Program. The Housing Division provides referrals to resources within the community for various housing related needs, including landlord-tenant mediation services and foreclosure prevention.
