Annual report
Operative Text
The Housing and Revitalization Department shall prepare and submit an annual report to the Mayor and to the City Council that provides, at a minimum, the following information for the preceding year: (1) A list of affordable housing developments where affordability was terminated and the number of units impacted including: a. Planned terminations where the affordable housing restriction concluded in the preceding calendar year and rent levels are no longer restricted; b. Where an unplanned termination of an affordable housing restriction occurred due to foreclosure and the corresponding unexpired affordability period remaining; and c. Where an unplanned termination of an affordable housing restriction occurred due to a failure to meet physical condition standards and a description of such failures; and (2) A list of properties where the affordable housing restrictions within an affordable housing development may terminate within the following calendar year: a. By expiration and no plan is in place to extend the affordability period; b. Where the Housing and Revitalization Department has been notified that the affordability period will end, by either planned or unplanned termination, and a plan is in place to extend the affordability period but such plan has not yet been formally executed; and c. Where the affordability of units was preserved through contract renewal, new financing, or other mechanism to maintain the affordable housing restrictions and the length of time of the extension.
Under Detroit — Ch. 22 Art. II Affordable Housing Notification Requirements § 22-2-6, the city's Housing and Revitalization Department is required to produce an annual report for the Mayor and City Council documenting what happened to affordable housing restrictions in the prior year and what may happen in the coming year. The report must cover terminations that were planned, those caused by foreclosure, and those resulting from failed physical condition standards. It must also identify properties where affordability restrictions are at risk of expiring soon, as well as cases where affordability was successfully preserved through renewals or new financing.

Owners and managers of affordable housing developments in Detroit should be aware that § 22-2-6 of Detroit — Ch. 22 Art. II Affordable Housing Notification Requirements creates a formal public record of affordability terminations and upcoming expirations. Compliant operators generally maintain clear documentation of their affordability restriction timelines and communicate proactively with the Housing and Revitalization Department, since planned terminations, foreclosures, and physical condition failures are all tracked in the annual report. Operators who have secured contract renewals or new financing to extend affordability periods can expect those preservation efforts to be reflected in the report as well.
