I have no idea about the details on the affordable units. Adding a few affordable units to a large apartment development gets you some preferential treatment through the permitting process to an extent that most big developments add 10% low income.

There is a pretty big pot of money that they could be using to encourage low income housing but once again I'm not up to date on how that is being implemented.

A fair amount of time efforts geared toward encouraging low income housing don't work all that well and that could be the way it goes here.
