Below Market Rate (BMR) Inclusionary Housing Program

Through the creation and development of the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program, the City monitors several "Below Market Rate" (BMR) ownership and rental units in private buildings throughout the City. The Mayor's Office of Housing (MOH), together with the Planning Department, the Planning Commission and the Department of Building Inspections, works with developers to establish, occupy, and monitor BMR units and/or determine fees.

Specifically, the Mayor's Office of Housing is charged with duties listed below:

• MOH works with developers to bring BMR units to the market. We market units, monitor lotteries, qualify applicants, prepare closing documents which govern the restrictions on BMR units, monitor the units for the life of the restrictions, and assist in the reselling of BMR units.
• MOH works with developers to determine fee obligations.
• MOH, in conjunction with other City departments, monitors compliance of the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program.
