The primary objectives of the Fund are to: x Foster the development of public/private partnerships for the production of affordable housing x Enhance and create housing for very low, low, and moderate income residents x Promote mixed income communities through the creation and equitable distribution of affordable housing;

x Preserve housing that could be lost from the affordable housing stock x Renovate affordable distressed properties to fulfill the critical housing need

A portfolio of programs is offered to the community to create and preserve affordable housing options and support a continuum of care that stretches from homelessness prevention to emergency and transitional housing, leading to permanent affordable housing for all Frederick County residents.
