NOTICE TO POTENTIAL APPLICANTS RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS MOBILEHOME PARK RESIDENT OWNERSHIP PROGRAM January 1996 I am pleased to announce the availability of funds for new applications under the Mobilehome Park Resident Ownership Program (MPROP). MPROP provides financing for mobilehome park resident organizations who wish to purchase their park and convert it to resident ownership. Approximately $3 million is currently available. Enclosed is a Request for Proposals (RFP) detailing the program's requirements and the application process. The'first application deadline is March 1, 1996. Application workshops are scheduled for January 30, 1996 (Sacramento) and February 1, 1996 (Escondido). To request an application package, please contact Kathyrn Garrett at (916)445-0110, or Mail a request to the address shown on the second page of the RFP. If you have any questions, please contact the MPROP staff at (916) 445-0110. Richard B. Nels Deputy Director MOBILEHOME PARK RESIDENT OWNERSHIP PROGRAM REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS .JANUARY 1996 A. INTRODUCTION The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for funding under the Mobilehome Park Resident Ownership Program (MPR')P). MPROP provides financing for mobilehome park resident organizations who wish to purchase their mobilehome park and convert it to resident ownership. Its purpose, as established by the State Legislature, is to encourage and facilitate the resident purchase of mobilehome parks, to protect low-income park residents from physical and economic displacement, to obtain a high level of private and other public financing, and to help establish acceptance for resident-owned mobilehome parks in the private market. Approximately $3 million is currently available for new loans, of which $600,000 is reserved for projects in rural areas, as defined by Health and Safety Code Section 50101. Application deadlines are specified in Section B. Limited technical assistance from the Department is available for potential applicants. The Department, however, recommends that applicants consider the use of contract consultants and other professional services to assist in the purchase process, as the process is complex, time consuming, and requires a high level of expertise. The program provides three types of loans: short term conversion loans, long term blanket loans to resident organizations for the purpose of achieving affordable housing costs for low-income residents, and long term loans to low-income residents to purchase their ownership interest. All loans are 3 percent simple interest. In accordance with the program regulations, the maximum total funding amount for one park will be finalized by the Department's Director following consideration of program staff's recommendation on this subject at a January 19, 1996 meeting of the Department's Loan and Grant Committee. Program staff is recommending that this amount be set at $750,000. Parties receiving this RFP will be notified if the Director approves a different amount. B. LEGAL AUTHORITY AND CAUTION The Mobilehome Park Resident Ownership Program is authorized by Chapter 11 of.Part 2, Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code (Section 50780, et sejc.), implemented by regulations adopted thereunder, and set out as Subchapter 13, Chapter 7, Part 1, Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations (Sections 8000, et seq.). Copies of the regulations and enabling legislation are included in the application package. This Request for Proposals is intended to provide an overview of the MPROP requirements. Interested applicants are expected to read the MPROP statutes and regulations which are contained in the application package and will be held responsible for complying with those statutes and regulations if awarded a loan commitment. The Department is currently in the process of amending the MPROP regulations. The amended regulations are expected to be in force prior to the second funding window covered by this RFP, and may modify some of its requirements. Additionally, the Department reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, amend, or modify the provisions of this RFP. If any of these actions should occur, the Department will provide as much advance notice as possible to parties on the MPROP mailing list. C. APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SCHEDULE 1. Application: Windows and Deadlines Applications will be accepted and reviewed approximately every nine months, in accordance with the following schedule: APPLICATION SUBMITTAL PERIOD TARGET FUNDING DECISION DATES 1/1/96 to 3/1/96 6/1/96 9/1/96 to 11/1/96 2/1/97 6/1/97 to 8/1/97 11/1/97 An application window will be canceled in the unlikely event that there is less than $600,000 available for new loans one month prior to the date that applications for that window are first accepted. Two copies of the complete application must be received in the MPROP office by 5 p.m. on the last day of the submittal period applicable to a particular application window to be considered for funding under that window. Applications will be accepted only during application submittal periods, and may not be added to in any substantial manner by the applicant following submission. All proposals must be made on the Department's 1995 application forms and must be complete. A separate appl;'cation must be submitted to the Department for each project. To request an application package, please contact the MPROP program secretary at the telephone number or address below. 2 i Department of Housing and Community Development Division of Community Affairs Mobilehome Park Resident Ownership Program P.O. Box 952054, MS 390-5 Sacramento, CA 94252-2054 Telephone: (916) 445-0110, or FAX: (916) 327-5942 2. Workshop Schedule Two application workshops will be held as follows: 1) Sacramento: January 30, 1996 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 1800 3rd Street, Room 185 2) Escondido: February 1, 1996 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 210 North Broadway City Council Chambers D. DESCRIPTION OF FUNDING PROCESS FROM RFP TO PROJECT COMPLETION Complete and eligible applications will be rated by MPROP staff according to the criteria set forth in Section I of this RFP. Generally, staff will recommend awarding the full amount of available funds in a priority order based on rating score, with rural projects competing only against themselves for 20 percent of these funds. Applications for projects in non-rural areas that receive less than 60 percent of the available rating points will receive a negative staff recommendation, regardless of the availability of funds. Similarly, applications from projects in rural areas that receive less than 50 percent of the available points will also receive a negative recommendation. The recommendations of staff will be presented to the Department's Local Assistance Loan and Grant Committee. Copies of the staff recommendation will be distributed to the co-applicants prior to the Committee meeting. The Committee will consider applications and will make recommendations to the Director for Department action. The Director's approval of a project constitutes a conditional commitment. After Director approval, a contract (the Standard Agreement) between the co-applicants (the Resident Organization and the Local Public Entity) and HCD is prepared. This contract will contain the conditions that must be satisfied prior to the closing and funding of the MPROP loan(s). Standard conditions include: 3 I. Achievement of specified minimum presale or membership purchase requirements. Typically, two-thirds of the total individual interests in the park must be sold or under contract of sale prior to the closing of any MPROP loan. Long-term leases may not be substituted for sales to meet this requirement. 2. Verification that park residents are not being displaced, through rent increases or other means, and in accordance with the requirements detailed in the MPROP application package. 3. Verification of the adequacy of the collateral securing the Department's loan(s). Typically, this means an appraisal or appraisals ordered by the Department and paid for by the borrower(s) from their own funds (with reimbursement from loan proceeds possible at closing). 4. Approval of a Phase I toxics report, and any follow-up studies indicated by the Phase I. Payment for these items will also need to be made in advance of the closing. 5. Execution of loan documents as required by the Department, including: a) a promissory note or notes evidencing the Department's loan(s); b) security documents as necessary to secure the Department's loan(s), and c) where a blanket loan is being made, a regulatory agreement governing the operation of the park for the term of the MPROP loan. The regulatory agreement, and all trust deeds, will be recorded against the borrower's interests. 6. Issuance of a title insurance policy or policies insuring the Department's security interest(s). The residents may pay for this policy from the proceeds of their loan(s). 7. Approval of all project costs, and of the terms, conditions and documentation for all sources of funds to be used to defray these costs. 8. Approval of a first year operating budget. 9. Approval of a replacement reserve study performed in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Real Estate for subdivision projects. There will be a cost for this item. 10. Approval of an Assistance Analysis Chart detailing, for each recipient of MPROP assistance, their incomes, the amount of their loans, and related information. 4 11. Approval of the property management company that will manage the park upon loan funding, and of their contract and management plan. 12. Verification that the park and any homes occupied by the recipients of MPROP assistance comply with the Mobilehome Parks Act (Title 25). 13. If any rehabilitation or construction work is planned in connection with the conversion, approval of the scope of work, detailed budget, construction contractor and the construction contract documents. 14. If loans to individu;:l residents will be made, approval of a third-party loan originator, and of their contract. 15. Approval of all professional services contracts entered into or to be entered into in connection with the conversion. 16. Approval of the resident organization's organizational documents, resident lease agreements, and other legal documents as specified by the Department. If required by the Department, issuance of an opinion of the Borrower's counsel addressing such legal issues as specified by the Department. 17. Verification of hazard, liability, flood and fidelity insurance coverage in accordance with Department requirements. 18. Verification that all required governmental approvals have been received, including, as applicable, approvals by local planning agencies and the state Department of Rea?. Estate or the Department of Corporations. E. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS Applications must be made by a mobilehome park Resident Organization and a Local Public Entity as co-applicants. The Resident Organization must: 1) have, both at the time of application and funding, no less than two-thirds of the resident households as members; 2) be a legally recognized entity; 3) be able to enter into a contract; and 4) be capable of suing or being sued. The Local Public Entity may be a city, county, housing authority, redevelopment agency, community development commission, or other governing body, as defined in Section 50079 of the Health and Safety Code. The governing bodies of the local public entity and the resident organization must authorize, by resolution, participation in the program and submission of the application. These resolutions must be submitted with the application itself. No exceptions will be made to this rule. 5 0, 15 F. ELIGIBLE PROJECTS The project must result in resident ownership. Either a subdivision must occur, with at least two-thirds of the residents purchasing their individual (condominium or planned unit development) interests, or the resident's organization must acquire a fee or long-term leasehold interest (of at least 15 years duration) in the park's real property. At the time of application, the resident organization must have site control. Acceptable forms of site control include an executed contract to purchase and an executed irrevocable option.agreement. The mobilehome park may include manufactured homes, mobilehomes, recreational vehicles, or factory-built housing, or a combination thereof. G. ELIGIBLE BORROWERS AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS MPROP may provide conversion and/or blanket loans to eligible resident organizations. MPROP may also provide individual loans to eligible lower-income residents. To be eligible to benefit from an MPROP blanket loan or to receive an individual loan, a resident household must: 1) reside in the mobilehome park as the household's principal residence at the time the application is submitted; 2) have a gross income which is not greater than the lower-income limits for the county in which the park is located, and which are listed in the application package; 3) demonstrate that the household's monthly housing costs upon completion of the resident park purchase would exceed 30 percent of the household's gross monthly income without program assistance; and 4) complete and submit a reservation for assistance or a loan. (A request for reservation is not binding on the part of the lower-income resident household.) H. LOAN TYPES Conversion loans provide interim financing to Resident Organizations for the period prior to the funding of the permanent loan(s), with a three year maximum term. The maximum loan amount is 95 percent of the conversion costs attributable to the low-income residents of the park, or such lesser amount as required for project feasibility. The maximum loan- to-value ratio (counting senior debt as the MPROP loan) is 100 percent. Eligible costs include: 1) the park acquisition cost; 2) loan origination, appraisal, and inspection fees, and other related financial costs; 3) title and escrow fees; 4) legal and other professional fees; 5) relocation costs; and 6)park rehabilitation costs. Monthly payments of interest only are required during the conversion loan term unless an alternative repayment schedule is approved by the Department. 6 • � C',lib Blanket loans provide long-term financing to resident organizations that purchase their parks without subdividing them. The maximum loan-to-value ratio (counting senior debt as well as the MPROP loan) is 100 percent. The loan amount may be up to 95 percent of the conversion costs attributable to spaces occupied by low-income residents, or such lesser amount as required for project feasibility. To qualify for a loan in an amount greater than 50 percent of the costs attributable to the spaces occupied by low-income residents, the applicants must demonstrate that they have been unsuccessful in pursuing other financing. Blanket loans may be used for the following eligible costs: 1) to repay a conversion loan; 2) to establish operating reserves; 3) to provide long-term financing for a project; 4) to supplement other public or private financing; 5) to enable low-income residents to obtain individual interests; and 6) to enable low-income residents to remain in the project. The Resident Organization must establish a program of assistance to direct the benefits of a blanket loan to low-income residents. This may include rent adjustments and/or internal loans from the organization to eligible lower income households. The net present value of the benefits received by low-income residents must equal the blanket loan amount. Blanket loans have monthly payments amortized over a maximum 30-year term. Alternative repayment terms may be approved, if necessary, to achieve affordable housing costs for low-income residents. A third party entity must certify the eligibility of the low-income residents who benefit from the blanket loan. Typically, this third party is a local government entity, which either performs the certifications directly or contracts with a private firm to do so. Individual loans provide long-terns financing to low-income residents. They are only available to eligible lower income residents in parks which have received an MPROP loan commitment. They are not available to the public at large. Loan amounts may not exceed 95 percent of the acquisition costs (including closing and financing costs) of a lot or other individual interest in a mobilehome park, or such lesser amount as required to reduce the borrower's housing costs to an affordable level (30 percent of income). MPROP is designed to fill the gap between the private financing that residents can afford and 95 percent of the costs of purchasing their individual interests. Potential MPROP borrowers are expected to secure loans from private lenders in the maximum amount that they qualify for, up to the amount that results in their paying 30 percent of income for housing. If the lender offers them less than the amount applied for, they are expected to accept this offer. If they have recently refinanced their homes, they must apply any cash taken out towards their purchase. (If necessary to consummate the purchase of their individual interests, housing costs up to 40 percent will be allowed.) Borrowers of individual loans shall have no less than five percent equity in the collateral securing the loan. Collateral includes the lot or other individual interest and the mobilehome. Individual loans have monthly payments amortized over a maximum term of 30 years unless, in order to achieve affordability, alternative repayment terms are approved by the Department. Such alternative terms will require payments to the extent that the resident can afford them. They may require periodic (e.g., every five years) verification of income to ensure that borrowers still qualify. Loans to individuals are due on sale, transfer or non-occupancy of the MPROP borrower(s). I. RATING CRITERIA This section first lists the application rating criteria and the maximum score applicable to each, then details how each criterion will be applied. CRITERION MAXIMUM SCORE Financial Feasibility and Loan Security 30 Project Cost 25 Efficiency of Use of Program Funds 20 Organizational Capacity 20 Avoidance of Displacement 20 Project Support 15 Speed and Ease of Conversion 10 Below Market Financing 10 Affordability for Low-Income Residents 10 Security of Tenure 5 Local Housing Programs 5 Under-Served Areas 5 Total Possible Points 175 Minimum Required for Positive Recommendation Non-Rural Areas (60% of Total Possible) 105 Rural Areas (50% of Total Possible) 87 8 CRITERIA APPLICATION (The text in bold is a summary of criteria specified in the program regulations. Please consult the regulations if you would like more details. The bracketed numbers refer to the particular regulation sections to consult for this purpose.) (1) Financial Feasibility and Loan Security [§8015(a)(8)]. Maximum score: 30 points. This criterion encompasses the financial feasibility of the conversion itself, the long term financial viability of the park, and security of the MPROP loan(s). Subdivided Parks In parks that will be subdivided, indicators of the private financial feasibility of the conversion that will be evaluated include: • The proportion of surveyed residents who indicate that they intend to purchase their subdivided interest at the projected price. • The extent of lender interest in providing financing. • The proportion of residents who appear to qualify for private financing, based on an analysis of individual resident characteristics, such as incomes, existing indebtedness, and home values, and the quality of this analysis. Indicators of long-term, post-conversion financial viability and MPROP loan security include: • The strength of the local market for subdivided mobilehome interests, as measured by price trends, marketing time, sale rates, number of homes for sale, and similar factors. • The potential competitiveness of the park within the local re-sale market. Factors to be analyzed include space prices, location, park amenities, and coach occupancy and sale rates. • The amount of debt and equity that will be junior to the MPROP loans, in proportion to the amount of MPROP funds. The higher the proportion of junior debt and equity, the better. 9 The need for MPROP conversion financing (blanket loan funding prior to the subdivision). If project feasibility hinges on the subdivision occurring, applications requesting conversion financing will receive low scores. Non-Subdivided Parks In parks that will not be subdivided, indicators of the financial feasibility of the conversion that will be evaluated include: • The proportion of surveyed residents who indicate that they intend to purchase their interests at the projected price, to the extent that.such purchases are essential to project feasibility. • The extent of lender interest in providing supplemental financing, and the status of the lender's processing. Firm commitments not subject to major conditions, of course, provide the strongest evidence that financing will be available in the amount required. Indicators of long-term, post-conversion feasibility and MPROP loan security include: • The strength of the local market for mobilehomes, as measured by price trends, marketing time, sales rates, number of unsold listings, and similar factors. • The competitiveness of the park within the local market. Factors to be analyzed include space rents (including an imputed amount for any share or membership purchase costs), location, park amenities, and indicators of market activity, such as coach marketing time and occupancy and sale rates. • The anticipated marketability of the share or membership interests. MPROP has observed that residents in parks with high share values (generally over$5,000 to $10,000) have recenily experienced significant difficulty selling their shares. Unless the local resale market for such high value shares can be clearly demonstrated, applicants proposing this structure will receive low scores. • The terms and conditions of other financing, and especially financing that will be senior to the MPROP loan. Fixed rate financing is preferable to variable rate financing. Balloon payments prior to the maturity of the MPROP loan are generally unacceptable, as is senior seller financing. 10 (2) Project Cost [§801 5(a)(10)]. Maximum score: 25 points. Two measures of cost will be calculated: total per space development costs, and per space soft costs (costs other than acquisition and rehabilitation). Projects with lower costs will receive higher scores. Total per space development costs will be adjusted to reflect local market conditions using median home sale same prices, as reported by the California Association of Realtors. Attached at the end of this RFP is a chart showing the adjustment factors applicable to the first application window covered by this Request for Proposals. (3) Efficiency of Use of Program Funds [§8015(a)(9)]. Maximum score: 20 points. Efficiency will be judged by the proportion of low-income residents currently in the park and the amount of MPROP funding per low-income resident. (4) Organizational Capacity [§8015(a)(4)]. Maximum score: 20 points. MPROP will evaluate the capacity of the resident organization and the proposed property management agent to manage the park once it has been converted. Factors that will be considered when evaluating the resident organization include: • The business experience and expertise of individual board members and the extent of their involvement with the park conversion. • The long-term availability of professional assistance related to management issues. • The unity of the residents, and the presence of opposing factions. Management firms will be evaluated primarily based on their experience with mobilehomes and MPROP. The capacity of the conversion team (conversion consultant(s), residents, and loan originator, if applicable) to complete the conversion will also be evaluated. This evaluation will focus on the prior conversion experience of the team members, and especially experience with MPROP projects. (5) Avoidance of Displacement [§8015(a)(2)]. Maximum score: 20 points. The maximum score will be awarded to projects that will fully and clearly comply with the Department's relocation guidelines, or provide a specific, detailed alternative plan that ensures that residents will not be displaced. Lower scores will be awarded where the C 150 plan for avoiding displacement is unclear, inaccurate, not specific, or lacks adequate supporting documentation (6) Project Support [§8015(a)(9)]. Maximum score: 15 points. Both resident and local government non-financial support will be evaluated. Resident support will be gauged by (a) the proportion of surveyed residents who indicate their support for the conversion, (b) the proportion of surveyed residents who indicate their interest in purchasing ownership interests, where these interests will be sold, and (c) the presence or absence of factional groups opposed to the conversion. The presence of an organized faction opposed to the conversion will cause points to be deducted, with the amount of the deduction based on the size of the faction and the intensity of their opposition effort. Points for non-financial support from local government support will be allocated based on the level of this support. (7) Speed and Ease of Conversion [§8015(a)(3)]. Maximum score: 10 points. Factors to be considered include: • The firmness of necessary financing commitments. • The degree of uncertainty about whether the borrower(s) will qualify for financing. • The level of resident support. • The status of approvals required from the Departments of Real Estate or Corporations, local planning bodies, and other regulatory agencies. • The potential for delays due to litigation, toxic waste problems, and other unique circumstances. (8) Below market financing [§8015(a)(11)]. Maximum score: 10 points. Points will be assigned based on the net present value per low-income resident of any subsidy provided to the project, other than the MPROP loan(s). The periodic amount of the subsidy will be calculated as the difference between (a) the payment required to service a 30 year, 10 percent fully amortized loan in the amount of the contribution from the subsidy source, and (b) the actual projected payment amount. The net present value of the subsidy will be computed using a discount rate of 9 percent. To take into account the differing resources that are available to local public subsidy sources, however, a discount rate of 4 percent will be used for projects located in areas 12 not served by a local agency that is either an "entitlement jurisdiction," for purposes of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, or a "participating jurisdiction," for purposes of the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) program. MPROP will assign a subsHy value of$500 per low-income resident to projects with a commitment from a local public agency to provide loan origination services without charge. (9) Affordability for Low-Income Residents [§8015(a)(1)]. Maximum score: 10 points. The impact of the conversion on affordability levels for low-income residents will be measured by the ratio of(a) average post-conversion housing costs as a percentage of resident household income, or 30 percent, whichever is greater, to (b) average pre- conversion housing costs as a percentage of income, or 30 percent, whichever is greater. 10. Security of Tenure [§8015(a)(5)]. Maximum score: 5 points. Points will be awarded as follows: Ownership Structure Point Individuals will have fee title to their lots 5 Individuals will have proprietary leases 2 from a corporation that will have fee title to the park. All others. 0 (11) Local Housing Programs [§8015(a)(6)]. Maximum score: 5 points Projects located in jurisdictions that have local plans or programs aimed at the preservation of mobilehome paries as affordable housing will receive the maximum score. Other projects will receive zero points. (12) Under served Areas [§8015(a)(6)]. Maximum score: 5 points Points will be awarded based on whether there have been previous MPROP awards to projects located in the same county as the proposed project, and based on whether the proposed project is located in the northern or southern sections of the state. 13 L Projects in County? North or South? Points No North 5 No South 3 Yes North 2 Yes South 0 PROJECT COST ADJUSTMENT FACTORS The following factors will be used to adjust total per space project costs for the purpose of rating applications under the "Project Cost" criterion. The adjustment will be performed by multiplying the applicable factor by total project costs. These factors represent the ratio of(a) the median sale price of detached homes in California to (b) the median sales price of detached homes in the local market area. The sources of these figures is the California Association of Realtors. MARKET AREA .

INTRODUCTION The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for funding under the Mobilehome Park Resident Ownership Program (MPR')P). MPROP provides financing for mobilehome park resident organizations who wish to purchase their mobilehome park and convert it to resident ownership. Its purpose, as established by the State Legislature, is to encourage and facilitate the resident purchase of mobilehome parks, to protect low-income park residents from physical and economic displacement, to obtain a high level of private and other public financing, and to help establish acceptance for resident-owned mobilehome parks in the private market. Approximately $3 million is currently available for new loans, of which $600,000 is reserved for projects in rural areas, as defined by Health and Safety Code Section 50101. Application deadlines are specified in Section B. Limited technical assistance from the Department is available for potential applicants. The Department, however, recommends that applicants consider the use of contract consultants and other professional services to assist in the purchase process, as the process is complex, time consuming, and requires a high level of expertise. The program provides three types of loans: short term conversion loans, long term blanket loans to resident organizations for the purpose of achieving affordable housing costs for low-income residents, and long term loans to low-income residents to purchase their ownership interest. All loans are 3 percent simple interest. In accordance with the program regulations, the maximum total funding amount for one park will be finalized by the Department's Director following consideration of program staff's recommendation on this subject at a January 19, 1996 meeting of the Department's Loan and Grant Committee. Program staff is recommending that this amount be set at $750,000. Parties receiving this RFP will be notified if the Director approves a different amount. B. LEGAL AUTHORITY AND CAUTION The Mobilehome Park Resident Ownership Program is authorized by Chapter 11 of.Part 2, Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code (Section 50780, et se .), implemented by regulations adopted thereunder, and set out as Subchapter 13, Chapter 7, Part 1, Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations (Sections 8000, et seq.). Copies of the regulations and enabling legislation are included in the application package. This Request for Proposals is intended to provide an overview of the MPROP requirements. Interested applicants are expected to read the MPROP statutes and regulations which are contained in the application package and will be held responsible for complying with those statutes and regulations if awarded a loan commitment. The Department is currently in the process of amending the MPROP regulations. The amended regulations are expected to be in force prior to the second funding window covered by this RFP, and n::ly modify some of its requirements. Additionally, the Department reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, amend, or modify the provisions of this RFP. If any of these actions should occur, the Department will provide as much advance notice as possible to parties on the MPROP mailing list. C. APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SCHEDULE 1.
