The properties are to be owned by two separate limited partnerships formed by Resources for Community Development,a California nonprofit 501 (c)(3)corporation,which will serve as managing general partner. The Camara Circle Apartments is a 52-unit project in the Monument Blvd./Detroit Ave. area of Concord. The Pinecrest Apartments is a 24-unit project on Cavallo Rd.in Antioch. Both the City of Concord and the City of Antioch are contributing funds to the acquisition and rehabilitation of the respective projects,as is the County with HOME funds. The City staffs indicate the financing is consistent with City policies to upgrade the quality and affordability of its existing housing stock. The Regulatory Agreement of the County will require that at least 16 of the total 76 units(20%of each project)be reserved as affordable units for at least thirty years. Because of local financial assistance,and the owner"s intentto qualify 100%of the units as affordable units using the 4%Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program,all of the units in the two projects will be affordable to low income households. The proposed financing and the credentials of Resources for Community Development have been thoroughly evaluated by staff. The County and its Redevelopment Agency have partnered with Resources for Community Development on other affordable housing transactions,including Elaine Null Court-Bay Point,Riley Court-Concord and Aspen Court-Pacheco. The rehabilitation bids have been secured and the buyer is prepared to proceed immediately. The bonds to be issued will finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Camara Circle Apartments and the Pinecrest Apartments. The bonds will be secured by a pledge of rents and reserve accounts. The bonds will be sold into a trust managed by the lender,Citibank. The trust will be credit enhanced with a Citibank Letter of Credit. In the event the bonds are sold out of the trust,they would be unrated bonds,and would complywith County policies for the issuance of unrated bonds. The bonds are to be issued in four series as follows: 2000 Series A (Camara Circle construction and permanent loan in an amount not to exceed $1,745,000); 2000 Series B (Camara Circle construction loan in an amount not to exceed $2,215,000); • 2000 Series C(Pinecrest construction and permanent loan in an amount not to exceed$370,000); • 2000 Series D(Pinecrest construction loan in an amount not to exceed $1,080,000). No pledge of County revenues is involved. These bonds will be privately placed with Citibank. Bond Counsel is Jones Hall.
