REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: Housing Authority staff has been meeting with officials from the City of Antioch and representatives of the FPI Real Estate Group, a real .estate development and property management firm based in Sacramento, for the past month. Discussions have centered on the proposed development of an 80 to 88 unit senior housing development to be constructed in Antioch. The location of the senior housing development would be the square block between 7th and 8th Streets and "G" and "H" Streets, near the downtown area of Antioch. The land is currently owned by the Catholic Diocese. There are no structures on the property and the land has served as a community garden for the past few years. The City of Antioch plans to purchase the property from the Catholic Diocese. The City will use Community Development Block Grant funds for this land purchase and would then donate the land to the Housing Authority -to be used for the development of an affordable rent senior housing complex. The Housing Authority would work with the City of Antioch and the FPI Real Estate Group to submit funding applications to the California Department of Housing and Community Development to obtain both construction and permanent financing for this senior housing.

CC: ATTESTED MAY 1 19901 Phil Batchelor, Clerk of the Board of Commissioners M382/7-83 BY DEPUTY Board of Commissioners May 1, 1990 Page -2- The Housing Authority would serve as the owner of the senior housing. FPI Real Estate Group would serve as the turn-key developer for the Housing Authority and provide for the property management of the development. As owner, the Housing Authority would monitor the complex to insure that it is operated as an affordable rent senior housing development under the regulations of the California Rental Housing Construction Program. It is currently proposed that two-thirds of the rental units would be available for very low income senior citizens and the remaining one-third of the units would be for low income seniors. The projected rents are as follows: 48 - 1 BR Units - $267 plus utilities 5 - 1 BR Units - $304 plus utilities 24 - 1 BR Units - $479 plus utilities 3 - 2 BR Units - $542 plus utilities At its Regular Meeting on Monday, April 16, 1990, the Advisory Housing Commission voted to recommend that the Executive Director be authorized to proceed with negotiations with the City of Anitoch and FPI Real Estate Group to develop an affordable rent senior housing development in Antioch, as a joint venture proposal , and to proceed with funding applications to the California Housing Finance Agency and the California Department of Housing and Community Development to secure both construction and permanent financing of the proposed senior housing development. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not authorize the Executive Director to proceed with negotiations with the City of Antioch and FPI Real Estate Group, and proceed with applications for both construction and permanent financing for the proposed senior housing development, the opportunity to house at least 80 additional low-income elderly families would be lost.
