Bragdon Director of Community Development DATE: June 18, 1991 SUBJECT: Mortgage Credit Certificate Program SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS Authorize the Deputy Director - Redevelopment to submit to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee a request to convert private activity bond authority for Single Family Bonds to Mortgage Credit Certificates. FISCAL IMPACT None. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS In late 1990 the County secured an allocation of private activity bond authority on a ,carry-forward basis from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. The intent was to use the authority to issue Single Family Bonds in 1991. The bond proceeds would be used to finance below-market interest rate mortgages for moderate income, first-time homebuyers. Subsequent to securement of the private activity bond authority in 1990, the developer interest in proceeding evaporated. With the consent of the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee, the authority can be converted to Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCC) . MCC's are an alternative to bonds to provide first-time homebuyers with financial assistance. The assistance is in the form of a tax credit, rather than a below-market rate mortgage.
