特拉华州威尔明顿市拨款840万美元建保障房 16个项目共361套
特拉华州威尔明顿市长约翰·卡尼的政府11月12日宣布，将840万美元拨给全市16个保障房项目，共建设361套保障性住房，每套补贴约2.3万美元。
市政府在西区邻里之家举行的新闻发布会上启动了这项保障房激励计划，市房地产与住房部门负责人鲍勃·威尔表示，补贴将用于支持开发商建设保障房，而非直接发放给开发商。
住房可负担性是当前全美关注的热点议题，卡尼在发布会上表示，威尔明顿正通过资金激励推动更多保障房落地。发布会当天，威尔明顿正遭遇强雷暴天气，冰雹敲打着会场屋顶。
市政府表示，这笔资金将帮助大小开发商兑现建设保障房的承诺，缓解当地中低收入家庭的住房压力，让更多居民能够在市内找到负担得起的住所。
Wilmington, Delaware Awards $8.4 Million for Affordable Housing: 361 Homes Across 16 Projects
The administration of Wilmington Mayor John Carney announced on November 12 that $8.4 million will go to 16 affordable housing projects across the Delaware city, supporting a total of 361 affordable homes, a subsidy of about $23,000 per home.
The city launched the affordable housing incentive program at a press conference at the West End Neighborhood House. Bob Weir, the city's director of real estate and housing, said the subsidies are intended to support developers in building affordable homes rather than simply being handed to developers.
Housing affordability is a major issue nationwide. Carney said at the event that Wilmington is using funding incentives to get more affordable housing built. A strong thunderstorm hit Wilmington during the press conference, with hail drumming on the venue's roof.
The city says the funding will help large and small developers deliver on their affordable housing commitments, easing pressure on low- and moderate-income families and helping more residents find homes they can afford in the city.
