Planning Board Meeting · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

This item concerns a plan to increase affordable housing in Palatka. The city is looking at ways to help developers use federal and state funding for affordable housing projects. This includes programs like Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, State Apartment Incentive Loans, and HUD's HOME program. The goal is to create more deeply affordable housing options for residents who are cost-burdened. This initiative is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, it could lead to new construction projects requiring site preparation, utility work, building construction, and related trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this agenda item as it progresses. Early engagement could provide an advantage as specific projects and funding opportunities are identified.
