§302(c)(4) Plan Rev. 5/20/20
§302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
The City of Anaheim, in partnership with the Anaheim Housing Authority, will use PLHA funds to provide gap financing for the development of new affordable multifamily rental housing projects serving households earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) and below, primarily on Housing Authority owned land. Proposed housing developments address the varying needs in Anaheim including housing for seniors, low income workers as well as families and individuals exiting homelessness.
PLHA funds will also be used to provide down payment assistance to households with up to 120% of AMI in an effort to ensure that a diversity of housing opportunities are being offered in the City.
§302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
The City will use PLHA funds for gap financing on the following six affordable rental housing projects (4 primary sites, two alternate sites): (1) Housing Authority(AHA) owned site at Karcher Way (Karcher site) is estimated to provide 330 multi-generational affordable units all serving households earning 30% to 60% AMI,(2) Housing Authority owned site in District 4 (Matrix St site) is proposed to be developed with 80 units serving 30% to 60% AMI,(3) and( 4) sites at Lemon & Santa Ana St, also AHA owned, are anticipated to provide 30 workforce family rental units serving households earning 30% to 60% AMI. Alternate sites: in the event PLHA funds are not needed to facilitate the development of the sites at Lemon & Santa Ana sites, the City will seek to develop an alternative AHA owned site in downtown Anaheim with a 75-unit senior development serving seniors at 30% to 60% of AMI. PLHA funds may also be used to support the Center of Hope (Salvation Army site), a proposed PSH development consisting of 100 units serving homeless persons earning 30% to 50% of AMI on a site owned by the Salvation Army.
In support of homeownership opportunities, the City proposed to use PLHA funds to provide up to $100,000 in down payment assistance loans to moderate income households to purchase homes. The Avanti site which recently received a Preliminary Funding Commitment letter, will provide townhomes for sale to moderate households. Additional and/or alternate homeownership site: the City is working with Habitat for Humanity on the development of two sites for homeownership opportunities that will be affordable to low- and moderate income households. This project may be funded using PLHA funds if primary development sites are stalled or alternative sources of funding are supplanted for PLHA funds.
§302(c)(4)(C) Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government’s Housing Element.
The affordability requirements of the Plan are consistent with the affordability requirements of the Anaheim Housing Element which requires the creation of affordable housing units for Extremely Low, Very Low, Low-and Moderate income levels.
Activities Detail (Activities Detail (Must Make a Selection on Formula Allocation Application worksheet under Eligible Activities, §301)) §301(a)(1) The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low- ,very low-, low-, or moderate-income households, including necessary Operating subsidies. §302(c)(4)(E)(i) Provide a description of how allocated funds will be used for each proposed Affordable Rental Housing Activity.
The proposed Plan directs over 80% of the City's PLHA funds to the development of new affordable rental housing projects serving households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The use of PLHA funds for the creation of affordable rental housing units and homeownership down payment assistance is consistent with City's adopted 2014-2021 Housing Element. The City currently has several affordable housing projects in the pipeline that are in need of gap financing. Below are the projects that can utilize PLHA funds.
Complete the table below for each proposed Affordable Rental Housing Activity to be funded with 2019-2023 PLHA allocations. If a single Activity will be assisting households at more than one level of Area Median Income, please list the Activity as many times as needed to capture all of the AMI levels that will be assisted, but only show the percentage of annual funding allocated to the Activity one time (to avoid double counting).
