Purchase of the South Salt Lake Land
Has Not Limited Other OWHLF Projects
Use of the OWHLF for the purchase of land in South Salt Lake
does not appear to have negatively impacted HCD’s ability to provide
funds for other projects. At the time the purchase was made, the fund
had over $5 million in reserve money that was available to lend for
eligible projects. Reserve funds have remained fairly constant in the
years since the land purchase. In addition, the amount of money the
fund has contributed to housing projects has remained fairly steady
over the same time period. Figure 2.3 shows the total funding
available, the amount of money contributed to housing projects from
the OWHLF, and the amount of reserve funds available for each year.
