One provision of that bill required each local government to periodically prepare an inventory <br />of all real property that it owns within its jurisdiction that is potentially appropriate for use as <br />affordable housing. After preparing the inventory list, the governing body must review the list at a <br />public hearing, and identify specific properties that are appropriate for affordable housing. Properties <br />identified as appropriate for affordable housing may be sold to generate funds for affordable housing, <br />or sold with a restriction that requires development of the property as permanent affordable housing, or <br />donated to non-profit housing organizations for the construction of permanent affordable housing. <br />187 <br />
