Since its inception, the L' le Havana Homeownership Initiative has received $7,500,000. Under the advisory functions •f the LHHAB the funds have been utilized to provide financial assistance to newly develope• affordable housing projects in District 3, as well as the provision of down payment assist- ,ce to eligible first time homebuyers purchasing a home in District 3. To date, all funds have t -en committed including an additional $1,000,000 of Affordable Housing Trust Funds. On February 6th, 2008, LHHAB agreed to suns - the advisory board. Prior to the dissolution of the LHHAB, the board directed the Department Community Development to work with the Office of Commissioner for District 3 to create an = •gressive marketing plan for the monies remaining under the above -mentioned pilot pro• . m.
