But the BeltLine 5-Year Plan said that $42 million would be invested in affordable housing, and $8.3 million is way below that target. How does the affordable funding number compare with other areas of BeltLine progress? For example, $66 million was paid to Wayne Mason for his land and over $3 million was paid to Ben Rainey (even though Rainey failed to do anything he was supposed to do for the BeltLine). Who can educate me as to how and what the BeltLine is really doing on the affordable housing front? $8.3 million sounds like a nice chunk of change for affordable housing.
