Description
Created by the Utah Legislature in 2025, the Affordable Housing Infrastructure Grant supports public infrastructure projects that facilitate affordable housing in Salt Lake County. The Affordable Housing Infrastructure Grant Board reviews and awards grants, with staff support from the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity. Funding can cover planning and design, followed by construction, with each phase tied to an approved cost estimate.
The board considers the number and value of housing units a project will produce and the value of any applicant matching contribution. For highway infrastructure, it gives priority to public highways of regional significance that connect to other highways or points of regional significance.
