Levelopmt. BY DEPUTY 3 ' ZREABQ BAQ'KGEQJRjP _S FQ_R_.RECQ=NDAT_J N _QNa On April 28, 1998, the Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of $813,000 to the FY 1998/99 HOME/HDAF for use in funding affordable housing projects as they develop during the program year. Including prior year carryover and reallocated funds, the current balance of the HODS/HDAF is $1,055,940. On March 25, 1999, the Affordable Housing Finance Committee (AHFC) voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve an allocation of $290,000 in HONS/HDAF funds to Eden Housing, Inc. for the Maplewood/Golden Glen Affordable Housing Project. The AHFC has also recommended that two additional projects be funded from the HOME/HDA.F: the Rodeo Senior Housing Project recommended for $700,000; and a Habitat first-time homebuyer project in Pittsburg recommended for $36,000. These two projects are under consideration by the Board as separate items on the April 27, 1999 consent calendar. Assuming approval of all three of these projects, the FY 1998/99 HOME/HDAF will have a remaining balance of $29, 940. The purpose of the Maplewood/Golden Glen project is to increase and maintain the supply of multifamily rental housing affordable to extremely-low and very-low income households in Concord and Central County and to assist the City of Concord in revitalizing the Virginia Lane/Monument Boulevard corridor. Eden Housing proposes to acquire and rehabilitate the Maplewood and Golden Glen Apartments to provide 91 units of rental housing affordable to lower income households in Central County. As proposed, the project will achieve relatively deep affordability: eight units will be required to be affordable to and occupied by extremely-low income households (incomes at/below 30% of the area median income or AMI) ; four units will be required to be affordable to households at 40 percent AMI; 64 units will be affordable to very-low income households (incomes at/below 50 percent AMI) ; and the remainder will be affordable at 55 percent AMI . Twenty of the apartments including the eight affordable to extremely-low income households will be designated as County-assisted and required to remain affordable for 55 years. All other apartments will remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years in accordance with the requirements of other financing partners. The project is a high priority for the City of Concord as evidenced by City Council approval of just under $2 million in Concord Redevelopment Agency ,funds for this purpose. The total development cost for this project is $8. 1 million or $88,823 per unit. Sources of permanent financing include: Requested FY 1998/99 H01,.1E/HDAF $ 290,000 City of Concord Redevelopment Agency $1 ,984 ,223 Low Income Housing Tax Credits $1 , 195,650 Tax-exempt Bonds $4 ,039,439 Rental Income $ 208,457 FHLB Affordable Housing Program $ 363,923 General Partner Equity $ 1,196 TOTAL $8,082,888 All other sources of financing are approved. As proposed, the HOME/HDAF funds will be used for housing rehabilitation and provided to the project in the form of a residual receipts loan in co-equal position with the loan from the City Redevelopment Agency. Affordability and use restrictions will be incorporated into the County loan documents . kkh/H:\T-�A'IA\WP60\BSHM98-9.WPD
