Affordable Housing Covenants Sample Clauses
An Affordable Housing Covenants clause establishes legally binding requirements that certain properties or units within a development remain affordable to low- or moderate-income households. Typically, this clause sets out the duration of affordability, eligibility criteria for tenants or buyers, and mechanisms for monitoring compliance, such as resale price restrictions or income verification processes. Its core practical function is to ensure that a portion of housing stock remains accessible to those who might otherwise be priced out of the market, thereby addressing long-term community housing needs and promoting socioeconomic diversity.
