The city plans to apply for a $30 million grant for the project through the federal Choice Neighborhoods initiative, which would require the replacement of every subsidized unit knocked down. But the Obama-era program has been shrinking and its funding is in jeopardy under President Trump's proposed budget cuts for 2018. Housing advocates worry that if the city doesn't get the grant, the housing authority would agree to reduce the number of affordable units in order to assure the project remains attractive to the developers.
