In particular, the review will look at progress toward the goals, what has worked well, what could work better and what new ideas should be implemented going forward. The 2009 Affordable Housing Program Review consists of three phases: As of December 31, 2008, there were 2,855 affordable units in the city, or approximately 6.3% of the total housing stock, including 187 shelter beds and 55 group home beds.
