Exhibit A: Executive Summary
Mountain View, California, is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, situated on the southern end of the San Francisco Peninsula. Nestled between the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west and the San Francisco Bay to the east, Mountain View’s strategic location in the Bay Area and proximity to regionally significant transportation corridors, including U.S. Route 101 and State Route 85, has made it a thriving center for technology and innovation. Mountain View is the home to numerous major technology companies, including Google, Intuit, LinkedIn, and Microsoft. Spanning just over 12 square miles and with a total population of nearly 84,000 residents, the City is home to strong neighborhoods, engaged citizens, and a thriving business community. At the same time, the cost of housing in Mountain View is very high, making it unaffordable for low- and moderate-income families, households.
While residents overall experience low rates of poverty and have relatively high incomes, approximately one-third of all households in the City are considered low-income, with a greater concentration of lower-income households that are non-white.
As such, addressing affordable housing has been a top priority of the City Council and community members. The City has been a longstanding regional leader in reducing barriers to housing, as well as advancing affordable housing and innovative strategies.
In 2022, Mountain View’s City Council approved the 2022-27 Affordable Housing Strategic Plan, which is a five-year plan to significantly increase housing supply, address fair housing, reduce barriers to housing, and address tenant displacement. This plan establishes the goal of developing “an affordable housing strategy to significantly increase resources to achieve the City’s affordable housing pipeline.” The City currently has over 1,500 affordable units in 100% affordable housing projects. This pipeline of twelve new projects anticipates the development of at least 1,300 units deed restricted in perpetuity, which once completed, will nearly double the City’s affordable housing supply. All units both current and future will be for households and families that range from 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) to no greater than 60% AMI and include units for special needs and formerly unsheltered persons and households. These needs – accompanied by a comprehensive set of goals and actions to address the needs – are also reflected in the City’s 2020-25 Consolidated Plan and its State-certified 2023-21 Housing Element.
While there is a comprehensive set of efforts that have already been and will be taken to reduce barriers and increase access to housing, the single greatest barrier at this time is insufficient funding to increase the affordable housing supply and catalyze new projects. To address this need, the City of Mountain View requests funding from HUD’s PRO Housing program to
support the development of the Evelyn Affordable Housing Project, which is a key project in the City’s affordable project pipeline referenced above.
Evelyn Affordable Housing Project: This project will convert a 2.1-acre former park and ride lot, previously owned by the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and purchased by the City, into new affordable housing. On September 26, 2023, the Mountain View City Council selected Affirmed Housing to serve as the developer for the Evelyn project. The project will create 268 new affordable units and will also include a 7,000 square foot childcare center and 3,150 square feet of flexible community resource space. 42 units will be set aside to support rapid rehousing for the homeless population, and another 15 units will serve as permanent supportive housing.
The Evelyn lot currently functions as one of three locations for Mountain View’s Safe Parking Program, an innovative program and currently the largest in Santa Clara County that allows unsheltered individuals living in RV’s a place to live while providing supportive services and working with the participants to transition into permanent housing. The Evelyn safe parking program was intended as an interim use while the process for developing the site for affordable housing project was being undertaken. Affirmed Housing will work with the City and external partners to identify opportunities to transition the safe parking participants to affordable housing or other housing opportunities.
Figure 1. Map of Project Site
In addition to creating 268 new affordable units in one of California’s most expensive rental markets, the Evelyn Affordable Housing Project will also support HUD’s 2022-2026 Strategic
Plan goals to reduce homelessness, increase the supply of housing, support underserved communities through equitable development, ensure access to and increase the production of affordable housing, advance sustainable communities, and advance housing justice. The project also supports the regional Community Plan to End Homelessness which was endorsed by the City Council.
Exhibit B: Threshold Requirements
● Identify which type of eligible applicant you are representing.
The City of Mountain View is an incorporated city in the state of California. Under the eligibility criteria outlined in Section III.A in the PRO Housing program NOFO, city governments are eligible to apply for funding under this program.
Public Participation
● Explain how the applicant fulfilled the PRO Housing grant’s public participation requirements. Provide additional information regarding how this public participation process accommodates individuals with limited English proficiencies and/or disabilities.
The City of Mountain View posted the full draft application for public review on October 6, 2023, with a public hearing scheduled for October 24, 2023. This review period allowed for at least 15 days for the public to comment on the draft application, either by submitting comments electronically or by attending the public hearing and commenting in-person. The meeting agenda and Council report for the public hearing were posted on the City’s website and announced on Channel 26 cable television. A public notice of the October 24th City Council public hearing was placed in the Palo Alto Daily Journal and Mountain View Voice on October 6, 2023. A notice of the hearing with a link to the full draft application was prominently displayed on the home page of the City’s website, and the notice was distributed via electronic mail to the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) interested parties list. Posting the full draft application for public comment in different formats and across various platforms is crucial for maximizing accessibility, inclusivity, and engagement. To this end, the City of Mountain View also engaged their in-house Multicultural Education Program (MEP), a translation and interpretation service, to translate public noticing for the full draft application in Spanish, Chinese, and Russian.
Through the MEP, the City also made translation services available at the City Council meeting where the public hearing was held.
Environmental Review
● Demonstrate that the proposed project will comply with all applicable environmental requirements set forth in HUD’s regulations at 24 CFR parts 50 and 58, which implement the policies of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and other environmental requirements.
The proposed project will be submitted for review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) during the design phase and, in accordance with HUD’s regulations, will be required to receive clearance before construction can be initiated. Based on the current project timeline, NEPA clearance is anticipated by Q2 2025.
Code of Conduct
● Demonstrate compliance from the applicant and any subrecipients with HUD’s “Conducting Business in Accordance with Ethical Standards” requirements.
The City’s Code of Conduct is consistent with HUD requirements and will be submitted as part of the application.
Civil Rights Law Compliance
● Are there any outstanding civil rights matters that the applicant is a party to? This can include charges from HUD concerning a systemic violation of the Fair Housing Act; status as a defendant in a Fair Housing Act lawsuit; status as a defendant in any other lawsuit filed or joined by the Department of Justice, or filed an amicus brief or statement of interest, alleging a pattern or practice of systemic violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act; receipt of a letter of findings identifying systemic non-compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act; or receipt of a cause determination from a substantially equivalent state or local fair housing agency concerning a systemic violation of provision of a state or local law prohibit discrimination in housing. If there are none, please state as such in the proposal narrative.
The City of Mountain View complies with all State and Federal fair housing laws and regulations and continuously self-assesses to ensure compliance with State and Federal fair housing rules. The City has not received any judgements, lawsuits, or enforcements as a result of fair housing violations. The City was randomly selected as part of a voluntary compliance audit process and has actively worked with HUD to fully respond to the VCA, which is nearly complete. The VCA primarily identified areas to strengthen certain processes and procedures within the City and with subrecipients who receive entitlement funding from the City, and did not include any findings related to any systemic non-compliance with Title VI.
Exhibit C: Need
Addressing Barriers to Affordable Housing Production and Preservation ● Describe your efforts so far to identify, address, mitigate, or remove barriers to affordable housing production and preservation. Please address the timeframe for these efforts; how these efforts were adopted, established, or otherwise made permanent; and the measurable impact thus far. Be sure to describe recent policy changes or community
planning strategies that you have adopted to increase housing production for low- and moderate-income populations, as well as recent initiatives to preserve affordability, increase access to affordable accessible housing in high opportunity areas, and invest in underserved communities. HUD will rate applicants more highly if they demonstrate that they have successfully taken actions to remove local barriers to increasing affordable housing production and preservation.
The City of Mountain View has a strong history of promoting the production and preservation of a range of housing types, including actions that go beyond the minimum requirements of California’s Housing Element Law, which is the primary tool that local jurisdictions in the State use to identify actions – including those related to land use, zoning, policy/program development and implementation, etc – to reduce barriers to housing. Mountain View’s elected and appointed officials have a reputation for providing strong support for affordable housing development and the City regularly provides financial support for affordable housing projects. Mountain View has a strong base of community and advocacy support to advance both market-rate and affordable housing production, reducing housing barriers and increase access to housing resources, and protecting tenants.
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) in California is a statutory requirement aimed at ensuring local jurisdictions have adequate site capacity to meet their housing needs. This ensures that every municipality takes part in responding to its housing demands and anticipated growth. During the 2015 – 2023 RHNA cycle, Mountain View supported ambitious housing production and the creation and preservation of affordable housing. Highlights include:
The City adopted rezonings to increase the City’s total residential development capacity by over 20,000 units, which is –a 60 percent increase over the number of existing residential units (nearly 35,000 existing units) in Mountain View.
The City has a long-standing inclusionary housing ordinance to ensure that new residential developments provide affordable housing in addition to market-rate units. During the Fifth Housing Element Update Cycle, Mountain View adopted updates to the ordinance to increase the number of inclusionary affordable units in a development, while adopting alternative compliance options that allows developers to meet the requirement in other ways that advance City housing goals and exceed minimum affordability requirements. The City also developed partnerships with Santa Clara County and affordable housing developers to create hundreds of affordable units, including units for veterans, people with disabilities, families, and other special-needs populations. In 2022, the City and County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for $80 million in County Measure A funding to support the City’s affordable housing pipeline. The MOU provided a programmatic way to streamline the funding for seven project (rather than project by project) that include rapid rehousing and/or permanent supportive housing units. This approach also significantly
increased certainty and predictability for the developers, and the full funding amount has already been allocated to the seven project. The projected funding gap (at least $50 million) for the City’s total pipeline (twelve projects, including the seven mentioned here) accounts for the MOU funding.
The Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act (CSFRA), a voter-approved 2016 ballot measure, enacted rent stabilization to protect renters from significant rent increases by limiting rent increases, restricting evictions, providing tenant relocation assistance, establishing a Rental Housing Committee, and staffing the Housing and Eviction Center. The City Council adopted the Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance (MHRSO) to provide mobile home residents similar protections that exist for renters under the CSFRA. The City also adopted development impact fee exemptions for affordable housing and adopted modifications to the park land dedication fee to allow alternative compliance through Privately Owned, Publicly Accessible (POPA) open areas and create predictability and transparency by calculating the fee basis every year and setting the fee at the time of application submittal.
To improve the development review process, the City began utilizing “EIR consistency checklists” in Precise Plan areas, a streamlined CEQA procedure that provides more legal protections than a categorical exemption at lower cost and in less time than an initial study. In addition, the City used SB35 ministerial streamlining for multiple affordable housing developments and prepared Density Bonus Guidelines to facilitate developer understanding of this complex state law, which has reduced uncertainty and staff review times of density bonus projects.
Mountain View’s Housing Element for the new RHNA Cycle, known as Cycle 6, outlines the City’s plans to continue expanding its ambitious housing policy:
Eliminating minimum parking standards for residential development in transit-oriented areas, affordable housing developments, and other cases.
Reviewing and updating ordinance and precise plan residential standards. Allowing affordable multifamily housing to be developed on religious and community assembly sites.
Updating the Zoning Ordinance to allow replacement of multifamily development in the R1 and R2 districts with non-conforming density to preserve units above the allowed density in the underlying zone.
Promoting the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units. Continuing to implement density bonus ordinance requirements that provide bonuses for the provision of affordable housing.
Monitoring the availability of sites to accommodate unmet housing development goals through RHNA in accordance with No Net Loss rules.
Streamlining green building review and development of more sustainable (cost-effective and energy-efficient) housing.
Preventing/mitigating displacement through rent stabilization, deed restriction, housing preservation work, and community ownership models.
Reviewing and updating the City’s Affordable Housing NOFA process to improve coordination and communication with applicants.
Maintaining the City’s existing housing stock.
Additionally, the City of Mountain View initiated the development of a Displacement Response Strategy1 in 2019. The City submitted a draft Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) to HUD in 2022, which, although it is still pending, is already positively impacting the City’s efforts to affirmatively further fair housing. In August 2022, the City Council held a Study Session to discuss the City’s 2022-27 Affordable Housing Strategic Plan. Staff’s report presented a pipeline of affordable housing projects, which has an estimated funding gap of $66,300,000.

The pipeline projects are anticipated to create at least1,300 new units of affordable housing.
Beginning in FY 2023-24, the City Council approved the formation of a separate stand-alone Housing Department to create the organizational structure necessary to continue advancing a robust affordable housing and tenant protection set of programs. Formerly, the City’s housing function was a division within Community Development. With the formation of the new Housing Department, one additional FTE was approved to support the affordable housing pipeline. There are few if any cities in the State that is the size of Mountain View that has a stand-alone housing department, demonstrating the City’s commitment to advancing affordable housing, reducing barriers, and increasing access.
Acute Demand for Affordable Housing
● Do you have acute demand for affordable housing? What are your remaining affordable housing needs and how do you know?
1 https://www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/housing/displacement-response
For RHNA Cycle 6, which is covered by Mountain View’s adopted 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) allocated a total of 11,135 new units of housing to Mountain View. Of these 11,135 units, 2,773 are intended to be affordable for very low-income residents (50% of AMI or below) and 1,597 are intended for low-income residents (80% of AMI or below). Those figures account for 39.2% of the City’s total RHNA allocation. These units are necessary to keep pace with local demand for affordable housing on a local and regional scale. This allocation represents a marked increase over the Cycle 5 RHNA, which set 2,926 total new units of housing (including above moderate-income units) as Mountain View’s production goal.
Average asking rents for newly built apartments in Q2 2023 were $2,737/mo for a studio, $3,810 for a 1-bedroom unit, and $5,149/mo for a 2-bedroom unit. During the same period, the median sales price for a single-family home was approximately $2.6 million and $1.4 million for a condo. These figures are significantly higher than figures Statewide, ex the statewide median gross monthly rent is $1,870. With inflationary pressures on rental values anticipated to continue in the post-pandemic recovery and the resilience of the Silicon Valley economy, the acute demand for affordable housing and the urgency to develop new units in areas like Mountain View will likely continue to increase.
The City’s affordable housing project pipeline is estimated to create at least 1,300 new deed restricted affordable units through the decade, which would nearly double the 1,500 units of existing affordable units in 100% affordable projects. While this figure represents significant progress, it still falls short of the City’s RHNA allocation. The pipeline projects are in various stages of development, and many are still working through the creation of financing strategies.
Additional efforts, and additional investments, are required to address Mountain View’s affordable housing needs. If awarded, the HUD PRO housing funding would provide meaningful support to advance the Evelyn lot project, one of the key projects in the City’s pipeline.
● Does the proposal address a priority geography that has an affordable housing need as identified by one of three HUD metrics: Housing Affordability, Housing Problems, and Off pace Affordable Housing Development.
The City of Mountain View qualifies as a priority geography based on the PRO Housing program’s Housing Problems Factor (HPF).
Housing Problems Factor HPF National Threshold HPF State Threshold
0.453593 0.428937 0.588235
● Provide local knowledge that is not already captured by HUD’s measures. Topics that may indicate acute demand for affordable housing include displacement pressures,
housing stock condition, age of housing stock, homelessness, ratio of median home price to area median income, and more.
Since the early 2010’s, Silicon Valley and Bay Area communities have experienced significant cost escalations in the rent market. This inflationary effect is driven by Silicon Valley's status as a global technology hub, an influx of high-income professionals, and a limited housing supply due to historically stringent zoning and geographic constraints. The high, and ever increasing, cost of construction and land in the Bay Area, coupled with traditionally slow and bureaucratic permitting processes, has hampered the broader development of new affordable housing units.
Housing Cost Burden: Data from CoStar estimates that, for Q4 22-23, rent in Mountain View ranged from $2,172 for a studio apartment fully covered by the City’s rent stabilization ordinance to as high as $5,506 for a newly built 3-bedroom unit. In Mountain View, 14.5% of households spend more than half of their income on housing, while 17.4% have a cost burden of 30% to 50 percent. However, these rates vary greatly across income categories. For example,
66.9% of Mountain View households with income less than 30% of HUD Adjusted Median Family Income (HAMFI) are severely cost-burdened. For Mountain View residents above 100% of HAMFI, only 0.8% are severely cost-burdened, and 88.8% of those above 100% of HAMFI spend less than 30% of their income on housing.
Aging Housing Stock and Redevelopment: A significant amount of Mountain View’s housing stock was built between 1950 – 1970, which creates additional needs to support the preservation of naturally affordable units. The Rebuilding Together Peninsula (RTP)2 program provides home renovation and repair to income-qualified homeowners at no cost to the homeowner by volunteers. Mountain View residents are able to use this service to preserve the existing housing stock. In Mountain View, nearly 1,000 older naturally affordable units have been demolished since 2012 or are scheduled to be demolished as part of redevelopment projects— further contributing to inflationary pressures on the City’s rental market as older units are replaced with new market rate housing at significantly higher rent levels, as well as causing tenant displacement.
Substandard Housing: According to the City’s Consolidated Plan, the city uses similar HUD conditions to assess housing stock condition including overcrowding (more than one person to a room), lack of complete plumbing and / or kitchen facilities, and cost burden over 30 percent of net income. Using these conditions, the city’s rental housing stock comprises about 36 percent or 6,820 units where one of these conditions is present and approximately 5 percent or 1,020 units where two of these conditions are present. Thus, over 40 percent of the renter-occupied housing units in the city have some level of substandard housing conditions according to HUD standards
2 https://www.smc-connect.org/locations/rebuilding-together-peninsula-rtp
and may require some level of improvements or rehabilitation due to the housing condition issues.
Overcrowding: In Mountain View, about 7.2% of households are considered overcrowded. This suggests that overcrowding does not impact a disproportionate share of Mountain View households, though some households in Mountain View live in overcrowded units. Stakeholders that participated in the public engagement process for Mountain View’s Housing Element noted that there are families in Mountain View that live with multiple families in one unit, likely in overcrowded conditions, to afford housing.
Homelessness: Like many of California’s cities, Mountain View has grappled with homelessness in recent years. This further contributes to the need for additional affordable housing. Santa Clara County’s 2023 Point In Time (PIT) Count3 showed a total of 424 unsheltered homeless and 138 sheltered homeless in Mountain View. While these figures represent a 7% decline in Mountain View’s homeless population from pre-pandemic numbers to this year, there is still a meaningful homeless population in the City. Mountain View is one of a handful of municipalities in California that provide a “safe parking” program, which allows a temporary, safe location to park for individuals and families living in a vehicle, while providing access to services that will transition them into more stable housing. This innovative program was initiated in response to the large number of homeless living in vehicles parked on the streets of Mountain View.
Currently, the program capacity is 114 parking spaces across all safe parking lots including the Evelyn Lot. In FY 2022-23, 112 households were enrolled and 48% of clients who exited the program transitioned to permanent housing destinations. Mountain View is a committed partner in supporting the Santa Clara County’s Plan to End Homelessness. The City’s affordable housing pipeline includes 200 units of rapid rehousing/permanent supportive housing units, including at the future Evelyn lot project.
Key Barriers
● What key barriers still exist and need to be addressed to produce and preserve more affordable and accessible housing? Please describe in detail the leading barriers to affordable housing production and preservation in your jurisdiction(s). A complete response will identify why the identified barriers are key barriers.
While the City has been successful in achieving numerous goals to further fair housing, the draft AFH recognizes three key areas of concern:
The demolition and redevelopment of several rent-stabilized apartments into market rate housing in recent years has led to significant tenant displacement and reducing housing access and choice for lower income households.
3 https://osh.sccgov.org/sites/g/files/exjcpb671/files/documents/2022%20PIT%20Report%20Santa%20 Clara%20County.pdf
The need for affordable housing far exceeds the current supply and existing funding available to build the units.
The need for affordable housing developments to incorporate access to supportive services to meet the needs of residents.
In particular, the need for additional funding is demonstrated by the significant financing gap for the City’s affordable housing pipeline projects. While the City currently implements a housing impact fee program and a Below Market Rate (BMR) housing program to facilitate the development of affordable housing, these programs are not sufficient to fund the pipeline. The challenge of financing affordable housing projects in Mountain View is exacerbated by high land costs and the increasing cost of construction and materials. To address this challenge, the City is evaluating funding options, including but not limited to supporting new regional revenue measures, developing external funding partnerships, and analyzing options for local revenues, such as a local measure if regional measures do not pass, new fee programs, and modification of existing programs. The City is also pursuing opportunities to bring in new external funding sources by applying to important grant opportunities such as the HUD PRO housing program to close the pipeline’s funding gap.
Exhibit D: Soundness of Approach
Project Vision
● Describe your proposed activities and why they are appropriate, given identified Need and applicant Capacity.
The City of Mountain View’s adopted Affordable Housing Strategic Plan calls for the development of “an affordable housing funding strategy to significantly increase resources to achieve the City’s affordable housing pipeline.” Since 2014, the City has implemented an “over- the-counter” Notice of Funding Available (NOFA) program for 100% deed-restricted affordable housing developments. The NOFA funds are composed of different City housing fee programs but are primarily made up of the commercial linkage fee program and in-lieu fees generated from the BMR program as alternative to building BMR units on-site as part of a market-rate project.
Since its inception, this NOFA process has provided over $117,000,000 in local funding to catalyze affordable housing development. Over the next five years, the City plans to invest $105,900,000 from the Housing Fund to support the affordable housing pipeline projects. The pipeline represents a concerted local effort to address housing affordability in one of America’s most expensive rental markets.
One of the housing pipeline’s key projects with a projected funding gap is the Evelyn Affordable Housing Project. Development of the “Evelyn Lot” at 87 East Evelyn Avenue will convert an existing parking lot, formerly owned by Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), into 268 new
units of affordable housing. In 2021, the City executed a long-term ground lease with an option to purchase the lot from VTA with the intention of using it for affordable housing. The City Council proactively rezoned this site from industrial to high density residential to facilitate development. The City has since purchased the property and issued a Request for Proposals on January 27, 2023. At the September 26, 2023, City Council meeting the Mountain View City Council selected Affirmed Housing as the developer for the project after a competitive RFP process. Now that a developer has been selected, City staff will initiate the process to enter an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ERNA) and work closely with the developer to advance the project through the negotiation, project entitlement, and building permit phases to begin construction as expeditiously as possible. The project site is approximately one-half mile miles away from Mountain View’s downtown Transit Center, which provides walkable access to the regional bus service provided by VTA and Mountain View’s local Community Shuttle program. The development will encourage the use of alternate modes of transportation through convenient on-site bicycle storage, access to nearby Caltrain station and other transit options, and improved sidewalks at the nearby bus stop. These transit-oriented development (TOD) and active transportation strategies will contribute to the project’s vision of creating a new sustainable community.
Affirmed Housing’s proposed plans will also include a 7,000 square foot Childcare Center and 3,150 square feet of flexible community resource space. Programing for the community resource space will be determined via a comprehensive community outreach effort. Community spaces in other Affirmed developments are typically programmed to serve mobile health clinics, training centers, and community gathering spaces. This space will support residents and the surrounding community by facilitating access to supportive services and promoting upwards economic mobility.
When evaluating prospective developers, the City specifically requested information from applicants on potential pathways to housing for Safe Parking Program participants. Given that the existing parking lot currently serves the homeless population as an interim safe parking site, facilitating affordable housing placements for program participants was an important goal for the City Council. Affirmed Housing will work with the City to identify housing options for the Safe Parking participants to transition to, including at the Evelyn lot project, subject to fair housing considerations. 42 units will be set aside to support rapid rehousing for the homeless population, and another 15 units will serve as permanent supportive housing. These provisions will ensure that the project meaningfully contributes to the City’s efforts to address homelessness.

Addressing Mountain View’s Key Barriers
● How will your proposal address key barriers to affordable housing production and preservation identified in the Need section?
As stated in the City’s Affordable Housing Strategic Plan, the City intends to pursue external partnerships and funding sources as a key action to supplement its local contributions to fund the affordable housing pipeline. This includes private sector, , foundations/philanthropic organizations, and other public agencies including, regional, state, and federal entities. This application directly aligns with the Strategic Plan Goal 1B. Funding requested from the PRO Housing Program will support the realization of Mountain View’s affordable housing pipeline by directly contributing to the redevelopment of the Evelyn Lot. The proposed project directly addresses the identified need in the AFH for affordable housing projects to incorporate supportive services to meet the needs of the residents and community.
Alignment with Planning Initiatives
● Discuss how your proposal aligns with existing planning initiatives, services, and other community assets.
As demonstrated by the City’s robust efforts to address housing affordability at the local level, the City of Mountain View has been a recognized leader in affordable housing for many years, and one of the few cities with a compliant Housing Element for the 2023-31 cycle. The City is recognized as an innovative leader in advancing affordable housing. This leadership is rooted in the City’s Strategic Priorities and Work Plan. Since 2013, the City Council has engaged in a biannual process to establish high-level goals and priorities of great importance to the community and to develop a Council work plan in service of advancing these priorities. The Council work plan establishes Council’s direction to staff on major projects and initiatives that should be prioritized for available staffing resources in the context of maintaining essential functions, meeting operational needs, and accomplishing nondiscretionary projects, which include statutory requirements and critical continuing projects.
In the most recently adopted Strategic Priorities and Work plan for FY23-25, the City Council continued its commitment by prioritizing “Community for All” and “Intentional Development and Housing Options” as listed below:
Community for All: “Support Mountain View’s socioeconomic and cultural diversity.
Engage and protect vulnerable populations through policies that promote access to housing, transportation, and other programs and services.” Intentional Development and Housing Options: “Support an increase in the quantity and diversity of housing options, including assistance for the unhoused. Provide opportunities for affordable housing as well as home ownership. Plan for neighborhoods with nearby transit, jobs, and amenities that balance density with livable, green, mixed-use development.”
In addition, the City’s efforts on affordable housing also support the City’s work on Race, Equity, and Inclusion to reduce barriers and increase access to housing. The City is fully committed to racial equity and justice, striving to create a welcoming, safe, and inclusive community for all. The City is currently implementing a Race, Equity, and Inclusion Action Plan focused on policing practices, policies and accountability, celebration and recognition of community diversity, and review of City operations and policies, with opportunities for community engagement throughout.
The City of Mountain View’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identifies rising market rents and the resulting housing cost burden as ongoing problems for the City. The plan identifies housing cost burden, severe housing cost burden, and overcrowding as the three most common housing problems in the City of Mountain View. The project proposal is consistent with the City’s Consolidated Plan and certified 2023-31 Housing Element to guide how the City will use its federal funds and leverage other funding to meet the housing and community development needs of its population.
Geographic Location
● Explain your proposal’s anticipated effects on targeted locations, neighborhoods, cities, or other geographies. Describe how your proposal preserves and creates housing units in high-opportunity areas and expands opportunity in underserved communities.
Development of the Evelyn Lot will increase affordable housing stock in a well-resourced area.
The state’s CalEnviroScreen 4.0 tool ranks Census Tract 6085509109 in the 8th percentile of being less socially and economically integrated, making the Evelyn site a prime opportunity to develop affordable housing to advance more integrated community.
Stakeholder Engagement
● Describe your key stakeholders and how you conducted outreach in developing this proposal. Please also describe your strategy for continued outreach during the grant’s period of performance.
Robust stakeholder engagement is included in each affordable housing project in Mountain View to facilitate participation and to receive input that can enhance projects. The City publicized the proposal through various avenues, including a public hearing, city website, newsletters and agenda postings. The public review and comment period was held from October 6 - 23, 2023; an electronic copy of the draft PRO Housing grant application is available on the City’s website at:
www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/housing under “Announcements”; and the City Council public hearing was held for public input and approval on October 24, 2023 with translation services. The input received from the application development efforts will be used to create a more informed project proposal for the City to deliver to HUD for this PRO Housing Grant Opportunity.
The City will continue to outreach during and beyond the grant’s period of performance to people with disabilities, persons with limited English proficiency, and the multicultural community. Staff regularly informs community members about City efforts to increase fair housing, including rent-stabilization and relocation policies, access to housing services, and affordable housing opportunities. City staff hold regular workshops to inform residents about these policies, to discuss future affordable housing opportunities, and to inform residents about opportunities to apply for affordable housing. This is part of the City’s and Housing Department’s goal to affirmatively further fair housing and to reduce barriers/increase access to housing. For context, in FY22-23 alone, staff held over 18 community meetings and informational calls with over 2,000 registered participants, such as for the City’s development of the displacement response strategy, which included multiple stakeholders, translation and interpretation services, both in-person and virtual meetings, and providing dinner and child care for the tenant stakeholder meeting to facilitate their participation.
● Describe the specific actions you have taken to solicit input from and collaborate with stakeholders in developing this application, including how input from stakeholders and community members has shaped your proposal. In particular, describe input from the housing industry in your area, including affordable housing developers, builders/general contractors, and unions as well as persons in need of affordable housing. Describe how you incorporated input from stakeholders into your proposal. Describe your strategies to encourage public participation, build support, and engage community members, including those most likely to benefit from your proposed activity.
The project proposal by Affirmed Housing responds to the Evelyn lot development priorities that were determined by Council during its May 2022 Study Session. The Study Session was publicly noticed and community members, developers, and any interested parties had the opportunity to provide public comment for Council consideration. Input from the May 2022 Study Session was used to develop the Evelyn lot RFQ/RFP to market the site. The RFQ was initiated and completed in 2022. The RFP was initiated and completed in 2023, culminated by the selection of Affirmed Housing in the September 26, 2023, Council meeting, during which community members and interested parties provided public comments.
As the selected developer, Affirmed Housing will implement a local-based and customized effort to further refine its proposal through the subsequent project approval process. 87 Evelyn will be an integrated housing and services model that incorporates resident and supportive services and is designed to increase the availability of affordable housing stock for individuals and families.
The primary focus of the outreach process will be to allow community members several opportunities to provide feedback with well-publicized meetings in collaboration with the City, County and local community groups. The community engagement strategy is based on the following principles:
Local Needs-Based – A project designed around solutions that are developed in collaboration with local stakeholders, leaders, and neighbors. Cultural Competency – The recognition that there is a diverse community living and working around this site and communication in all representative languages, including translation at community meetings and print material for distribution. All outreach will be equitable and inclusive, and will ensure community needs and assets will be integrated into the process.
Collaborative Partnerships – Fostering creative and strategic partnerships throughout the community.
Community Input – The development team is committed to holding at least three formal community meetings before the project is entitled. All residential dwellings and businesses within ½ mile of the development, including multi-business/housing buildings and absentee property owners, will receive an invitation to these meetings from the
Affirmed team. Particular effort will be made to outreach to the Sylvan Park, Old Mountain View (omvna.org) and Whisman Station neighbors and their representative neighborhood groups.
Additionally, the development team is committed to providing a Community Resource space - an approximately 3,000 sf that would be provided to benefit the surrounding communities, located on Pioneer Way in Phase 2. The development team determined that a community serving program, like a health clinic, is best developed through a focused neighborhood outreach effort including the City partners and other stakeholders. The development team will work with the City to understand the higher level goals for the newly rezoned site and its relationship to the neighboring communities. This will be complemented by reaching out to the broader community to discuss their hopes and visions for the project.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
● Describe your plans to remove barriers to the development of affordable housing in well- resourced areas of opportunity. How will your proposal increase access for underserved groups to these areas? What is the racial composition of the persons or households who are expected to benefit from your proposed grant activities?
The project site is in Census Tract 6085509109. Based on data presented through the EPA’s EJScreen tool, only 3% of residents in the census tract are considered low income. Developing the Evelyn lot project will increase the diversity of residents and housing supply to this Census tract.
● Describe your plans to remove barriers impeding the development of affordable housing that would promote desegregation. What policies or practices perpetuate segregation and how will your proposal address them?
Promoting desegregation involves a comprehensive and focused strategy for the City of Mountain View. As detailed in the AFH plan and Housing Element, the City will continue its efforts to remove barriers, increase access to housing, and promote inclusive communities through zoning action, rezoning sites (for example the City proactively initiated a rezoning of the Evelyn lot, changing it from industrial to high-density residential to streamline the process and remove barriers), implementing the BMR program whose objective standard is the provision of on-site units integrated with market-rate units., and prioritizing development projects that integrate housing near transit hubs, amenities, and services. The City also has several tenant protection programs, including the CSFRA, MHRSO, Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO), Housing and Eviction Help Center, and Mountain View Mediation Program. During the pandemic, the City provided $4.3 million in emergency rental assistance to stabilize households at risk of eviction due to the inability to pay rent as a result of lob joss or reduction of
work hours. These programs are currently in place as tools for the City to counteract historical as well as systemic factors that may perpetuate segregation. The City is also developing a homeless response strategy as well as tenant displacement response strategy to implement a comprehensive set of actions to address these populations, which will further advance Mountain View’s efforts to be an equitable and inclusive community. The Evelyn project is an illustrative example of advancing inclusive communities by rezoning commercial land for residential development, providing permanent housing to target populations including families and those at- risk of being or were formerly unhoused, and achieving a mix of income levels ranging between <30% AMI to 60% AMI.
● How will you ensure that your proposal will not cause affordable housing to be further concentrated in low-opportunity areas or in areas that already have ample affordable housing? How will your proposal increase housing choice by expanding the neighborhoods in which residents who need affordable housing can live?
The construction of the Evelyn Lot will contribute to the expansion of affordable housing options in an area currently characterized by a limited supply of housing units. Below is a snapshot of the project location and surrounding area. The area shaded in purple is designated for Office/Industrial space, while the area shaded in green is designated for Public/Institutional space (parks and City facilities).
Figure 4. Evelyn Project Site
● How does your approach address the unique housing needs of members of protected class groups, including persons with disabilities, families with children, and underserved communities of color?
To address the unique housing needs of members of protected class groups, our approach focuses on several key aspects outlined in the development priorities set forth by City Council:
Affordability for Extremely Low-Income Households: The proposal aims to establish economically viable housing opportunities with 30% of the total units dedicated to extremely low-income households (i.e., incomes up to 30% of the Santa Clara County Area Median Income (AMI)). Additionally, the project will include a significant number of units for rapid rehousing (RRH) and/or permanent supportive housing (PSH) units that will cater to the unique needs of vulnerable populations, including persons with disabilities, families with children, and underserved communities of color. Community Amenities and Social Services: As noted, the project will include community-based amenities, childcare, and robust case management and supportive services to meet the diverse needs of the future residents. Pathways for Safe Parking: As noted, the developer will work closely with the City to identify pathways to affordable housing for the participants of the interim Safe Parking program currently on the Evelyn lot.
● Does your plan address issues identified in your jurisdiction’s most recent fair housing plan or plans?
The City’s AFH includes efforts to reduce barriers and increase access to housing, which the Evelyn Project will strongly advance. The City’s Evelyn Project will increase the production of affordable housing for a several income levels—up to 80% AMI, between 30% and 50% AMI, and at or below 30% AMI, which may be used for supportive housing and services as well as permanent supportive housing units. The Project also supports social services by collocating social services with housing—child care facilities, healthcare services (health clinic). Due to the population mix of income levels, the Evelyn Project will promote fair housing practices as well as enhance equity and inclusion. Finding pathway options for the interim Safe Parking participants, ensuring that the developer implements a robust affirmative marketing, and a comprehensive community process to further refine the project and identify uses for the community amenity space are key examples of how the project will advance fair housing efforts.
● Have you considered the risk of displacement associated with your proposal? How will you ensure that your planned activities do not lead to the displacement of vulnerable residents in communities of color? Describe any anti-displacement measures included in your proposal (e.g., replacement of affordable units for new construction, or right of first refusal for tenants).
The Evelyn Project will not cause any displacement as it is the redevelopment of a former park and ride lot. No residents or commercial use is on the site. As noted, there is an interim Safe Parking program on the site. Initially, the focus of the site was for permanent affordable housing and did not envision Safe Parking as a use. However, the City identified the site as a strategic
opportunity to use it for Safe Parking specifically as an interim use while the process of advancing a permanent housing project was being undertaken.
The Evelyn Site currently functions as a safe parking area and has available space to house 30 oversized vehicles, plus 21 passenger flex spaces, which are spaces for living or for commuter parking purposes. In addition, the City has an additional four other areas designated and approved as safe parking areas; they include Terra Bella (Alta Housing), Shoreline Lot B (on Crittenden Lane), St. Timothy’s Lot (faith), and Lord’s Grace (faith). The Shoreline Lot B on Crittenden Lane has two spaces available for two American with Disabilities Act (ADA) commuter vehicles and one loading zone, in addition to the 46 oversized vehicle spaces available for others in need. In all, the City has the capacity to provide 114 safe parking spaces, which is the largest safe parking program in the County of Santa Clara.
Per program standards, the safe parking designation for the Evelyn site began in 2020 and expects to end when construction of this site into affordable housing begins. The City anticipates the development and construction to begin in the first quarter of 2026. As previously noted, Affirmed will work closely with the City to identify transition options for the Safe Parking participants, including at the Evelyn Project, subject to compliance with federal and State fair housing laws.
● How will your proposal address the housing needs of people with disabilities and increase their access to accessible and affordable housing? How will it support independent living with access to supportive services and transportation in the community? Please also describe your plan to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and accessibility requirements under the Fair Housing Act.
According to 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, there are at least 5,070 of Mountain View residents living with a disability (hearing difficulty, vision difficulty, cognitive difficulty, ambulatory difficulty, self-care difficulty, or independent living difficulty). Individuals aged 65 or older make up the most significant portion of Mountain View’s disabled population. Of the City households with an elderly person, 28.2 percent are extremely low-income, 15.9 percent are very low-income households, and 14.7 percent are low-income. The City and County both supply special needs supportive services and facilities to the elderly to ensure they receive appropriate supportive housing. By forging a collaborative partnership with the County, our proposal not only leverages existing resources but also contributes to a more cohesive and integrated system of care. Key features of the Evelyn Project include: using universally acceptable design standards in compliance with ADA regulations such as incorporating ramps and other Transportation Demand Management (TDM) modifications to ensure ease of mobility; reserving substantial portions of the housing development with income-based affordability criteria; and incorporating
robust support services and case management into the housing development to cater to a diverse range of needs, including those with special needs and the formerly unhoused..
● Describe the implementation and/or enforcement plan for your proposal. Describe how you will approach resistance (e.g. litigation, environmental review, design standards) to the elimination of your targeted barrier(s).
The implementation and enforcement plan for the proposed project involves a detailed process focused on obtaining Council approval for key terms, which will be recorded in a Regulatory Loan and Lease Agreement. This agreement will serve as a legal framework to ensure compliance with project requirements, and a monitoring process will be established to track and ensure ongoing compliance with the approved key terms. Additionally, the proposal intends to use Senate Bill 35 (SB 35)- a California state legislation aimed at streamlining the approval process. To qualify for streamlined approval under SB 35, the develop must meet certain criteria, including compliance with local zoning and general plan standards, provision of a minimum percentage of affordable housing units, and adherence to labor standards. Despite the streamlining requirements mandated by SB 35, proactive measures will be in place to ensure that the community retains a meaningful opportunity for input and engagement throughout the project's development and implementation phases as described in the Stakeholder Engagement section of this application. The City has already implemented a robust public process as part of the RFQ/RFP process and the selection of Affirmed Housing. ● Describe any equity-related educational resources, tools, or public input that have informed your proposal.
Staff have provided several community engagement opportunities to understand the specific needs and concerns of impacted residents. Public input was gathered through City Council meetings to determine priorities for the Evelyn site, and the developer wills to use a local-based and customized effort designed to foster more community feedback at different phases of the project. All community meetings had translation/interpretation services available if requested.
Additionally, the City uses a systematic process for evaluating the potential impacts of policies, programs, or projects on different demographic groups. This helps identify and address disparities and target populations before project implementation.
● Do you plan to engage and support minority-, women-, and veteran-owned businesses during your proposed housing production process? Do you have a diversity and equity plan in place or plan to create one?
The developer, general contractor, and subcontractors will include provisions of the Federal Guidelines of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200) requiring all parties associated with this Project
and associated federal financial assistance are subject to and require compliance with 2 CFR 200, especially 2 CFR 200.318-200.327 as well as any other applicable federal requirements such as labor compliance and prevailing wage requirements.
The City of Mountain View has a Race, Equity, and Inclusion (REI) Action Plan in which the city has identified various actions to promote equity and inclusion throughout the community and public services. The REI Plan discusses appropriate actions to include and ensure minority races and ethnicities are included in city functions and city services as much as entirely possible including community policing and events. The City identified its Multicultural Engagement Program (MEP) as essential in engaging and involving all ethnicities and races in city functions and operations including having minorities weigh-in on city budget discussions and development. The Housing Department is focused on developing and implementing specific actions to implement the REI program, including deep community outreach, reducing barriers, and increasing access to housing.
As it relates to procurement and contracting, the City has an established vendor list as well as works through key contacts to distribute business opportunities throughout the area to facilitate all possible business opportunities and encourage cultural sensitivities to be recognized and included in opportunities.
● Describe how you will evaluate the effect of your proposal on promoting desegregation, expanding equitable access to well-resourced areas of opportunity, and furthering the de- concentration of affordable housing.
Currently, the Evelyn Project Site (census tract: 5091.09) is situated in a mostly commercial- industrial area with the nearest housing accessible by crossing major highways and thoroughfares where speed limits are between 50-70 miles per hour (mph). The closest housing to the Evelyn Project is to the west across Interstate 85 (I-85), a six-lane Highway running west to east with a posted speed limit of 65, and to the north-northeast across the Central Expressway, a four-lane thoroughfare with turning lanes at a posted speed limit of 50 mph. With this said and according to HUD’s tool for measuring segregation (https://belonging.gis- cdn.net/us_segregation_map/?year=2020&bounds=37.42%2C-121.98%2C37.36%2C- 122.15&geoid=06085509500&geo=tract&seg_measure=cat_seg_int), the areas immediately around the Evelyn Project including census tracts 5091.09, 5097, 5096.00, 5092.01, and 5091.05 have a low-medium segregation measurement. Further, areas surrounding these immediate areas have either low-medium segregation rating or are racially integrated (census tracts: 5091.08, 5091.07, 5091.06, and 5095).
Not only is the Evelyn Project site approximately 0.5 mile from the Mountain View Downtown Transit Center and 0.2 mile from an entrance to the Stevens Creek Trail enabling quick transit
options for residents who may reside in the completed project units, but this site would be ideally located for those requiring immediate or quick access to the I-85 or Central Expressway to travel to major employers in the area including the Googleplex, which is approximately nine to 12 minutes away directly off of Highways (I-85 and US 101) and Apple Headquarters is approximately 11 to 16 minutes away by vehicle and around an hour with the use of other transit options including active transportation and public transit options.
The Evelyn Project is well-resourced for individuals to find employment and to engage in community activities including shopping. There are several mechanic, construction, pharmaceuticals, and other manufacturing locations in the immediate vicinity, and Downtown Mountain View’s shops and restaurants are only 0.5 miles away, providing options for work and shopping for those who live in the Evelyn Project.
In addition to offering varying levels of affordable housing to the Mountain View communities, the RFP called for the developer to achieve an affordable housing development with a density of of between 80-110 dwelling units per acre that provides 30% or more of the total units with affordability restrictions for extremely low-income households (i.e., incomes up to 30% of the Santa Clara County Area Median Income (AMI). The plans would include multi-bedroom units to support larger families as well as supportive units for families or individuals who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused, with community space, placemaking, and community-building elements as discussed above. The Evelyn Project will advance the City’s goals of increasing housing opportunities; being a diverse, equitable, and inclusive city; and realizing high-quality infill/transit-oriented development that enhances the built environment.
● How will you track your progress and evaluate the effectiveness of your efforts to advance racial equity in your grant activities?
To assess the project’s effectiveness in advancing racial equity, City staff will track the diversity of the population housed by the 268 grant-supported units compared to the makeup of the City as a whole and the demographic composition of the census tract that each project is located in. This comparison will be an ongoing practice as recent assessments included in the draft AFH indicate the City of Mountain View is a relatively low-to-medium segregated community.
● If the applicant proposes to use PRO Housing funds to fund housing units, the applicant must discuss how those benefits will be affirmatively marketed broadly throughout the local area and nearby areas to any demographic groups that would be unlikely or least likely to apply absent such efforts.
The City of Mountain View emphasizes the importance of affirmatively marketing the benefits of the proposed project widely across the local area and nearby regions. Affirmed will be
required to have and implement an affirmative marketing plan that meets HUD and fair housing requirements.
As part of the Housing Department’s AFFH efforts, reducing barriers and increasing access to housing is a key component. Besides affirmative and deep community outreach, staff are also working with a regional entity to implement a regional housing portal called Doorways, a dedicated housing portal for housing seekers to find and apply for affordable housing throughout the Bay Area, as well as including informational calls, frequent emails to subscribers to City interest lists, newsletter announcements, social media posts, and electronic mailing lists.
● If the applicant is a CDBG, HOME, ESG, and/or HOPWA grantee, it may note the date of its most recent certification and a summary of the actions reported in its most recent CAPER.
For Program Year 2022 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023), the City of Mountain View received $624,777 in CDBG entitlement funds. In addition to the CDBG entitlement funds, for the CDBG program, the City received $251,744 in Program Income and had $248,112 in Prior Year CDBG funds for a total of $1,124,633 in CDBG funds. The City also received $297,598 in HOME entitlement funds. For the HOME program, the City received $665,834 in Program Income and $428,677 in Prior Year Resources for a total of $1,392,109 in HOME funds. Due to greater Program Income than expected for both CDBG and HOME, these totals exceeded the estimate given in the Annual Action Plan.
The City’s major accomplishments for Program Year 2022 are as follows:
3,790 low-income individuals and families were provided case management services which includes advocacy, enrollment in benefits and housing through the Community Services Agency Homeless Prevention program. This program supports both, housed and un-housed community members.
38 seniors were provided case management to help obtain housing, healthcare, food, and transportation with the goal of helping them live independently through the Community Services Agency Senior Case management program.
44 persons with disabilities received services to aid them in transitioning from homelessness, unstable, or temporary housing to permanent, affordable, and accessible housing through Silicon Valley Independent Learning Center (SVILC)
38 visually impaired persons were provided case management and support services to live independently.
47 seniors received legal assistance from Legal Services for Seniors 68 LMI unhoused youth and their families were served through Bill Wilson Center’s Family Advocacy Services program. This unique multi-generational program is school-based and
aims to decrease and prevent homelessness and poverty through prevention and intervention resources.
● If the applicant will carry out proposed activities in a jurisdiction with an AFH, describe how the proposed activities are consistent with the AFH’s fair housing goals and with fair housing strategies specified in the jurisdiction’s Consolidated Plan or Public Housing Agency Plan.
The City’s draft AFH identifies three areas of significant need, including additional investment to increase the supply of affordable units. “To address the demand for more affordable units across the range of needs will require significantly more resources, partnerships, and a coordinated approach. The City will be evaluating methods to increase local resources for affordable housing, as well as coordinating with regional partners to leverage additional external funds.” The requested funding through HUD’s PRO Housing Program will directly support and assist the city of Mountain View with their ongoing, vital need for additional investment to increase the supply of affordable units in this Evelyn affordable housing project by providing gap funding to move this project forward resulting in the production of 268 new affordable housing units.
Budget and Timeline
● Provide a budget for the proposed activities that documents all projected sources of funds and estimates all applicable costs. Describe how you determined the budget and how you will ensure that the project will be cost-effective, in line with industry standards, and appropriate for the scope of the project.
As currently structured, the project would utilize 4% Federal and State Credits, Santa Clara County funds, Developer equity, and City Funds, along with conventional construction and permanent debt financing, to fund the acquisition, predevelopment, development, and operations of the 87 E Evelyn Ave site. Below is a summary of all projected sources of funds and applicable costs based on Affirmed’s proposal. Note that the proposal below and their desired City contribution has not been discussed yet between the City and Affirmed due to the competitive nature of the RFQ/RFP (discussed in more detail below) and will be determined through the subsequent negotiation process. However, any direct City contribution will be in addition to the City contributing the full value of the land to the project, which is estimated to be just over $13 million based on the cost to the City to acquire the site from VTA.
The budget was submitted by Affirmed and evaluated by the City through the competitive Request For Qualifications (RFQ) and Request For Proposals (RFP) process but the City has not held any discussions to discuss the budget in detail with the developer. However, the budget and project pro forma was reviewed in detail during the RFP process and was determined to include reasonable assumptions. Additionally, Affirmed submitted a detailed construction cost estimate by its general contractor Cahill to support its pro forma. Staff’s evaluation of each submittal included a review panel and interview process, and focused on the overall quality, responsiveness, completeness, and clarity of the teams’ submittals to the RFP requirements specific to the Evelyn lot priorities, with particular focus on the following evaluation criteria (described in detail in Attachment 2 – Evelyn Lot RFP):
Development Team Description and Qualifications (10 points max.) Relevant Development Experience (30 points max.)
Proposed Development Concept (40 points max.)
Financial Capability (20 points max.)
The results of the evaluation led to Affirmed Housing as the preferred developer, which had the overall lowest development cost per unit supported by a detailed construction cost estimate from Cahill Contractors.
Affirmed Housing is requesting a City subsidy of $8 million for the entire project, with $5 million requested in Phase 1, as summarized below. Again, this is Affirmed’s proposal and it has not been discussed with City staff. The City will determine how to fund its overall pipeline of twelve projects given the City’s estimated funding gap of at least $50 million and the City’s goal to establish external funding partnerships and apply for grant funding to support its robust
pipeline. However, the City is contributing the full value of the land estimated at over $13 million.
If plans for a proposed childcare facility proceed, the developer has secured a $2,000,000 permanent financing Letter of Intent from the Low-Income Investment Fund (LIIF) for construction support. The proposed $5 million from PRO Housing funding is vital for advancing the project by allowing the first phase of the two-phased project to move forward.
Throughout the project, the City will be supported by its economic consultant Seifel Consulting to review the project’s financial information and pro forma. The City has worked with Seifel for many years, who has provided expert, detailed advice to the City on several completed affordable housing projects as well as on its project pipeline.
● Please describe how you would budget for and manage a successful project if HUD awards a different dollar amount than you are requesting. What is the minimum funding amount that would allow you to carry out your proposal in some form, and what would that proposal achieve?
If HUD grants an amount less than the requested $5 million, the City will still proceed with both activities, albeit at a different pace and with a different funding strategy. A $5 million contribution from PRO Housing funding is part of the critical investment needed to allow this project to proceed and the community benefit to be recognized sooner. Approval of this application will also reduce the funding gap, support the City’s affordable housing pipeline, provide the developer greater certainty, and allow the project the move forward in a more streamlined manner.
● Provide a schedule for completing all of the proposed activities in advance of the expenditure deadline at the end of FY 2029.
The City and developer will enter into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ERNA), begin the 90-day negotiation period, proceed with design and the master site plan process, and develop the lease disposition, development, and loan agreement (LDDLA) per the timeline below. After the execution of the LDDLA, the developer will submit a formal planning application, currently targeted for Q1 2025. Below is the anticipated development timeline.

Exhibit E: Capacity
● Which specific agency or entity will lead implementation of the proposed activities? What is its role and management capacity?
The future of Mountain View includes the creation and maintenance of a spectrum of affordable housing options. A dedicated Housing Department with increased resources is necessary to
implement both existing programs and new initiatives, such as the PRO Housing opportunity. As a result, the City’s adopted FY23-24 Budget forms a stand-alone Housing Department with 14.5 Full-Time-Equivalent positions (FTEs). The mission of the Department is to advance diverse, inclusive, and equitable communities by developing and implementing a wide range of housing policies and programs related to affordable housing, rent stabilization, and tenant protection. The Department is composed of two divisions: the Affordable Housing Division and the Rent Stabilization Division, as described below.
The Affordable Housing division administers various programs, including the Below- Market-Rate (BMR) program, funding of new affordable housing projects through the City’s affordable housing NOFA program, implementation of the City’s federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs, and the Council Neighborhoods Committee (CNC) program. The Rent Stabilization Program implements the Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act (CSFRA) as well as the Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance (MHRSO). The three main goals of the program are: (i) Stabilize rents, (ii) Provide eviction protections, and (iii) Ensure a fair rate of return on investment for landlords/mobile home park owners. The Division also implements the City’s Tenant Relocation Assistant Ordinance, the Mountain View Mediation Program.
The Housing Department’s Affordable Housing Division, along with analyst support, will lead the implementation of the PRO Housing grant from conception to project completion. It is envisioned that both management and staff will play significant roles to ensure project planning and coordination, budget management, compliance and reporting as discussed later in this application. The Housing Department will also work closely with the Community Development Department’s Planning and Building Divisions, and Department of Public Works, as well as the Financial and Administrative Services Department and the City Attorney’s Office.
● Describe how the agency or entity has (or plans to obtain) the relevant project management, quality assurance, financial and procurement, and internal control capacity to quickly launch and implement a major project.
The City of Mountain view possesses extensive expertise in overseeing and executing federal grants. In particular, the Housing Departments brings specialized skills in affordable housing project management, quality assurance, financial and procurement management, as well as internal control capabilities essential for the successful implementation of a project with this scope. This is demonstrated by the City’s eighteen 100% affordable housing projects composed of over 1,500 units, and the twelve projects in the pipeline composed of over 1,300 units.
Additionally, the City has a demonstrated track record as a recipient of numerous federal grants, such as CDBG, HOME, HOME-ARP (American Rescue Plan), and federal Community Project Funding.
● If your proposed approach includes partners, describe each partner’s capacities and credentials related to its role in implementing the project. Is your capacity to design, plan, or remove a barrier dependent on partner capacity? If yes, describe the dependency. What is your plan to regain capacity if a partner drops out?

No, the project does not depend on partner capacity. As part of the RFP process, the development team provided supplemental information demonstrating their expertise, relevancy, qualifications and deep experience. Affirmed was selected because of its strong financial,
technical background, and ability to execute the project. On September 26, 2023, City Council selected Affirmed as the preferred developer. If the City and Affirmed are unable to come to an agreement, or if Affirmed drops out, the City has already identified an alternate development team as part of the RFP process to allow a streamlined transition.
● Describe the agency’s or entity’s experience working with and coordinating partners (including contractors, funders, subrecipients, community stakeholders, and other government agencies) in previous projects similar in scope of scale to the proposed activities. If you do not have such experience, how will you obtain it?
The City works closely with partner organizations to provide programs and services for low- income households, and work with its partners to facilitate the development of affordable housing opportunities regionally and within the City. The City will continue to collaborate with other local jurisdictions, the County of Santa Clara, and the Santa Clara County Housing Authority (SCCHA) to advance regional activities (such as addressing homelessness) in a coordinated and effective manner and to identify opportunities to fund the City’s pipeline.
Examples of ways in which the City has participated in regional efforts include, but are not limited to, the following:
CDBG/Housing Regional Coordinators Meeting: The City has attended regional meetings held on a periodic basis with housing staff throughout the jurisdictions in the County to provide information-sharing, technical assistance, and collaboration on policy/program discussions and analysis.
Affordable Housing pipeline projects: The City is currently undergrowing remarkable growth, driven by 12 affordable housing pipeline projects strategically dispersed across neighborhoods. These projects will lead to the creation of over 1,300 units all of which will be 100% deed-restricted and reserved for very-low and extremely low income households. Development of Consolidated Plan and fair housing plans: Over the past four Consolidated Plan/fair housing plan cycles, the City has participated in a regional process, whereby participating jurisdictions jointly develop their local plans. The purpose of this shared regional process is to streamline the development of local plans, but also to identify regional issues and opportunities that require coordinated responses. City-County partnership of affordable housing developments: The City works closely with the County to facilitate the development and financing of multiple affordable housing projects. A key funding source is the County Measure A bond measure, which provides funding for projects that include rapid rehousing/permanent supportive housing for homeless housing needs, extremely low-income units, and other priorities, as well providing services that may include case management, mental health services, and other resources. Passed by the voters in 2016, Measure A will provide nearly a billion dollars over ten years to support affordable housing throughout the county. In February 2022, the City Council approved execution of a Memorandum between the City and County for 2016 Measure A and other
funding in the amount of $80 million to support affordable housing projects in Mountain View. This allowed for a streamlined allocation of County funding to the City’s pipeline in a programmatic manner rather than project by project. The funding has already been fully reserved/allocated to seven of the City’s twelve pipeline projects. Countywide homelessness response: The City has worked closely with its regional partners, including its network of nonprofit agencies and the County, to respond to the needs of unsheltered persons and those living in vehicles. The City participates in the biennial Countywide point-in-time homeless count, partners with agencies to develop homeless response programs, and provides program funding for outreach, services, and housing. In December 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution endorsing the regional Community Plan to End Homelessness, which includes multiple strategies and actions with the goal to end homelessness. The Community Plan seeks to address the underlying factors that cause and contribute to homelessness, such as the criminal justice system and reentry, as well as systems that can help address homelessness, such as bolstering the public health system, including mental health.
Collectively, the intent of these collaborative efforts is to develop a multi-sectoral approach composed of the public sector, nonprofit sector, housing and shelter providers, homeless persons, housing advocates, affordable housing developers, and various private parties, including businesses and foundations, to identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding priorities, and pursue a systematic approach to addressing homelessness.

● Do you or any partner(s) have experience working with civil rights and fair housing issues including, for example, working with data to analyze racial or economic disparities? Do you or your partner(s) have experience designing or operating programs that have provided tangible reductions in racial disparities? ○ In evaluating applications for funding, HUD will consider the extent to which the application demonstrates that the applicant has the experience and the resources to effectively address the needs of underserved communities, particularly Black and Brown communities.
Yes, the City of Mountain View leverages data to analyze racial and economic disparities and has successfully implemented programs that have yielded tangible reductions in these disparities.
The City highlights its efforts to meet the needs of the City’s vulnerable populations in various reports, such as:
The Consolidated Plan - outlines the needs of the community's low income population and provides a five-year plan of how the City's CDBG and HOME funds will be used to address the identified need.
The Annual Performance Evaluation and Report (CAPER) - an annual report that describes the City's low-income housing and community development activities carried out during the fiscal year toward meeting Consolidated Plan goals.
The Annual Action Plan – outlines howthe City uses its CDBG and HOME allocation to meet the needs of the City’s vulnerable populations, as well as the impact these funds have in the community.
The Citizen Participation Plan - outlines the process for citizen involvement in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and the holding of public hearings. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) - identifies potential barriers to fair housing choice and steps the City will take to minimize or eliminate those barriers per Section 808 (e) (5) of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
The Displacement Response Strategy – a plan to prevent displacement and – if displacement ultimately cannot be prevented – implement programs to reduce the impacts of displacement on tenants.
● Provide an organizational chart that identifies names and positions of key management for proposed PRO Housing activities. In addition to key management, be sure to include a count of all full-time staff that will manage PRO Housing activities.

Joshua Tovar, Analyst II, provides administrative and analytical support, including monitoring, reviewing, and approving invoices; preparing and reviewing documentation for grant reimbursements; and will support internal coordination with City departments to ensure grant activities comply with existing policies and procedures.
Exhibit F: Leverage
● Are you leveraging other funding or non-financial contributions?
The City of Mountain View will donate the land to catalyze the project, which was purchased from VTA for $13,000,000. Based on Affirmed Housing’s proposal, the project’s funding structure includes 4% Federal and State Credits, Santa Clara County funds, State HCD funds, Developer Equity, City funds, and conventional construction and permanent debt financing.
Affirmed Housing indicated an intention to seek $8 million in funding from the City’s Housing
Fund NOFA process, although a final amount for any City contribution has not yet been discussed or negotiated due to the competitive RFP process, which just concluded. If plans for the proposed childcare facility move forward, the developer has secured a $2,000,000 permanent financing Letter of Intent from the Low-Income Investment Fund (LIIF) to support construction of the facility.
Exhibit G: Long-Term Effect
● Describe what you will have achieved upon completion of grant-funded activities, including the specific work product(s), deliverable(s), or completed projects you will produce and any implementation actions that follow. Be sure to address how these achievements will have a permanent, long-term effect.
The proposed grant-funded activities will result in the construction of 268 deed-restricted affordable units. Construction of these units will provide affordable housing options in Mountain View on a long-term basis. These affordable housing units will be located among market rate housing that are dispersed throughout this area including across I‑85 to the west and across Central Expressway to north-northeast. The proposed activities will include the collocation of housing and supportive services including childcare, health clinic, community space, and mobile food distribution areas. This development will promote the decentralization of affordable housing and foster the live/work environment desired by the city in which affordable housing is within walking distance of employment centers and transit options to enable enhanced access with other city resources and quality of life amenities.
● Describe what roadblocks your proposal might be facing (e.g., the reversal of a plan to streamline the permitting process). What are the most likely ways in which the barriers might persist despite your proposed activities, and how does the proposal account for and counteract this?
The City has demonstrated strong leadership on this project by purchasing the site from VTA and proactively rezoning the site and moving forward with a developer selection of Affirmed Housing in late September 2023. Affirmed Housing has experience with developing multi- income level affordable housing in California and expects to leverage SB35 to expedite the project. The City has engaged with the public on this Project and others, and the public is eager for the city to bring this to fruition. The City does not anticipate regulatory roadblocks but there may be typical challenges that arise during the project such as rising interest rates. Additionally, the project proposes to use an emerging building technology known as cross-laminated timber for cost efficiencies and sustainability measures. Should there be issues that arise with this emerging construction technology, Affirmed has a contingency plan to use more traditional construction methods.
● Do you anticipate your proposal will result in reducing housing cost burden for residents without increasing other costs, such as transportation costs? Describe how you seek to achieve your goal of enabling the production and preservation of affordable housing while also considering the value of siting affordable housing near amenities, public services, jobs, transit, schools, and other important community assets and locations.
The City expects to significantly reduce housing cost burdens for residents of the Evelyn Project due to its location proximate active transportation and public transit options and other amenities near the site. The proposed 268 affordable housing units will include units between 30%-60% AMI and will be located on a city property that is situated 0.5 miles from the Mountain View Downtown Transit Center and 0.2 miles away from a Stevens Creek Trailhead which affords both options for the Evelyn Project residents to connect to public transit nearby and to engage in active transportation activities and quality of life enhancements. With these two transportation options within a half mile of the Project site, this enables residents to connect to transit options without increasing transportation costs to access these transportation sites. In addition, the nearest schools are approximately 0.6 miles north-northeast across the Central Expressway, which is roughly a 14-minute walk. Moreover, this pathway has dedicated active transportation spaces to traverse busy roadways. Another school is located about 0.5 miles from the Evelyn Project site to the west across I-85 and would be accessed through the dedicated active transportation routes provided by Evelyn Avenue and Stevens Creek Trail. The Evelyn Affordable Housing Project will provide for more integration of income levels and likely increased racial integration. Racial segregation is low in this area; however, the influx of affordable housing may assist in further integration in this area. Finally, there is a healthy mix of land uses including commercial, industry, and retail and food distribution establishments that will further enhance amenities accessible via active transportation further reducing cost burdens to residents who live/work at or around the Evelyn Project.
● Describe how your proposal represents a model for other communities, including the manner(s) in which your jurisdiction(s) or others may scale or replicate the proposal.
The proposal once completed can serve as regional model for dense, sustainable affordable housing development that includes many community amenities and use of innovative technologies. The project would be one of the first of its kind in the Bay Area in terms of the size, scale, quality, programming, and materials, especially outside of the big three cities (San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland). This can be a showcase project demonstrating what can be accomplished in geographically smaller cities. The project will involve partnerships with multiple agencies, provide housing opportunities for different needs and vulnerable populations, facilitate more integrated, inclusive, and diverse communities, incorporate meaningful community engagement, and optimizing the utilization of various sources of public investment to enhance housing affordability.
● Describe the community’s most significant environmental risks and how the proposal is aligned with them to efficiently promote community resilience. For example, you may wish to describe how your infrastructure and development activities incorporate resilient and/or energy-efficient features, such as native vegetation, reclaimed water, and efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, as appropriate for your community.
The greatest environmental risks for the city of Mountain View include groundwater concerns and climate change events including the increased occurrence of wildfires, flooding and inundation, and earthquakes. The Project will follow the City’s recently adopted Building and REACH Codes to mirror the State’s Energy and Green Codes; these include all appliances will be electrified, there will be no natural gas permitted, photovoltaic installation will be pre-wired to accommodate an all-electric building and battery storage installation (100% kWh consumption). Affirmed Housing, the selected developer, will use green, sustainable building materials to construct the multi-story building including cross laminated timber, as Affirmed Housing has experience in constructing the best, most affordable, quality materials to result in the best development for affordable housing. Some practices Affirmed Housing is known for is using green elements throughout the construction from low organic volatile paints and practices to recycled materials in carpets, to blanketing rooftops with photovoltaic panels capturing the sun’s energy to operate the building with fully electrification infrastructure.
In addition, the proposed activities will follow the 2030 Mountain View General Plan as it addresses the use of certain landscaping techniques for water conservation but also to mitigate the effects of other climate-related events, like drought. Policy INC.5.5 Landscape efficiency addresses the City’s desire to maintain resiliency through the installation of drought-tolerant vegetation and native plants while practicing efficient irrigation techniques. In addition, the City’s General Plan also endorses the use of smart meters and water reuse practices such as the use of rainwater and graywater. These and more potential landscaping techniques will be considered in the design and of the Evelyn affordable housing project.
● What do you consider success to look like at the end of the period of performance or beyond?
The vision of success is that all 268 units are built as proposed with quality, green building techniques that promote resiliency and sustainability. There are ample units for all affordable housing income levels in the city of Mountain View as specified by the RFP and follows the City’s Consolidated Plan and Draft Assessment of Fair Housing Goals, and the Project concludes within the proposed budget and timeline. That the City and Affirmed Housing work collaboratively to problem solve and provide the best outcomes to all end users (tenants) including special or vulnerable populations such families or households at-risk of becoming homeless. That the project achieves enhanced quality of life due to improved connectivity to services and amenities through public transit and / or active transportation and collocated support services—healthcare and childcare. Finally, that th is Project can serve as a leading example of how all stakeholders (including Federal, State, regional, and local agencies) can work collaboratively to further close the funding gap in the City and meet the affordable housing availability requirements as directed by the State.
● Explain how the targeted outcomes will remedy the identified Need. If possible, propose metrics (the quantifiable topic area you will measure) and target outcomes (a quantified goal for each metric which you will strive to achieve) to explain how your proposed grant activities are expected to address the affordable housing needs and/or barriers identified in Need.
To work towards achieving the goals and targeted outcomes, the City’s will align the project’s metrics with the Housing Element implementation period. These metrics and target outcomes – summarized below – provide a comprehensive framework for assessing the success and impact of the proposed grant activities within an overarching framework to address affordable housing needs and overcoming barriers within the community.
● Subsidize and Support Affordable Housing Units Created or Preserved:
○ Metric: Number of new affordable housing units developed, or existing units preserved.
○ Target Outcome: Create/preserve 268 of affordable, deed-restricted housing units targeting deeper affordability levels such as extremely low-income (ELI) and below.
● Income Diversity:
○ Metric: Percentage of diverse income groups within the proposed project. ○ Target Outcome: Achieve a balance mix of income levels ranging between <30% AMI to 60% AMI.
● Inclusive and Equity Application Process:
○ Metric: Reduce barriers to affordable housing by providing translation and interpretation services for potential applicants.
○ Target Outcome: Increase the percentage of LEP applicants. ● Reduction in Homelessness:
○ Metric: Number of at-risk individuals/families that have transitioned from homelessness to permanent housing.
○ Target Outcome: Reduce homelessness through the creation of affordable housing units in the area.
● Describe the long-term effect of your proposal on removing barriers to affordable housing production that have perpetuated segregation, inhibited access to well-resourced neighborhoods of opportunity for protected class groups and vulnerable populations and expanded access to housing opportunities for these populations.
The proposed activities will further the City’s goals of facilitating a diverse, equitable, inclusive community by adding a significant number of new affordable housing to the City. The Evelyn Project will be a model for adding affordable housing in an area proximate to market rate
apartment homes, commercial, industrial, manufacturing, grocery and retail, and technology land uses where low-income households may find secure employment near homes. The proposed activities will further maintain the low-level segregation or attain racially integrated status much like surrounding census tracts by adding more affordable housing options to the areas. Overall, this Project will be a catalyst that further propels Mountain View into being a model city for equity, inclusion, and resilience as it relates to housing opportunities.

Part I. Threshold Determinations - Applicants Only
Part I contains information to help the applicant determine whether the remainder of the form must be completed. Recipients filing Update Reports should not complete this Part.
If the answer to either questions 1 or 2 is No, the applicant need not complete Parts II and III of the report, but must sign the certification at the end of the form.
Part II. Other Government Assistance and Expected Sources and Uses of Funds.

Applicants and recipients must report any other government assistance involved in the project or activity for which assistance is sought. Applicants and recipients must report any other government assistance involved in the project or activity. Other government assistance is defined in note 4 on the last page. For purposes of this definition, other government assistance is expected to be made available if, based on an assessment of all the circumstances involved, there are reasonable grounds to anticipate that the assistance will be forthcoming.
Both applicant and recipient disclosures must include all other government assistance involved with the HUD assistance, as well as any other government assistance that was made available before the request, but that has continuing vitality at the time of the request.

2. State the type of other government assistance (e.g., loan, grant, loan insurance).

Note: A financial interest means any financial involvement in the project or activity, including (but not limited to) situations in which an individual or entity has an equity interest in the project or activity, shares in any profit on resale or any distribution of surplus cash or other assets of the project or activity, or receives compensation for any goods or services provided in connection with the project or activity. Residency of an individual in housing for which assistance is being sought is not, by itself, considered a covered financial interest.
The information required below must be provided.
1. Enter the full names and addresses. If the person is an entity, the listing must include the full name and address of the entity as well as the CEO. Please list all names alphabetically.
2. Entry of the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), for non-individuals, or city of residence, for individuals, for each organization and person listed is optional.

In addition, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate-income (not low- income) families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements financed by a source other than PRO Housing funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks PRO Housing funds to cover the assessment.
Excessive Force -- It has adopted and is enforcing:
1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such non-violent civil rights demonstrations within its jurisdiction.

th) month following the Commencement Date of

10.3 Buyback Terms. Upon Seller’s exercise of the Buyback Option, Buyer and Seller will execute a purchase and sale contract substantially in th e form of this Agreement, with Buyer as the “Seller” and Seller as the “Buyer” (the “Seller Purchase Agreement ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, terms and conditions in Sections 10.1 through Section 10.3 of the Agreement (i.e., the Buyback Option) will not be included in the terms and conditions of the Seller Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the Seller Purchase Agreement for the Property (the “Buyback Purchase Price”) will be the amount that is calculated as the sum of Thirteen Million and 00/100th Dollars ($13,000,000.00) pro-rated on a per land square foot basis for the portion of the Land to be acquired, less the amount of Retained Rent (calculated as set forth below), and will be payable at the closing of the transfer. In the event that Buyer has subdivided the Land and/or a portion of the Land has been developed, or in the event a condemnation or casualty exists, then in each case where the Seller Purchase Agreement applies to only a parcel or a portion of the Land the Buyback Purchase Price will be equitably pro -rated on a square foot basis for the balance of the Property that can be sold to Seller. The parties agree that for the purpose of calculating the Buyback Purchase Price, the total square footage of the Land is equal to 87,556 square feet. The Seller Purchase Agreement will entitle the fee owner to sell the portion of the Property acquired free and clear of any Option right to Ground Lease or any Ground Lease encumbrance. The foregoing terms, covenants and conditions of this Article 10 shall expressly survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement at the Closing Date upon conveyance of the Property to Buyer. The Buyback Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows:
(A) if Seller will acquire all of the Property, then the Buyback Purchase Price will be reduced by the amount determined in accordance with the following table; or
(B) if Seller will acquire a portion of the Property, then (i) the Buyback Purchase Price will be prorated on a per square foot basis, and (ii) the Buyback Purchase Price will be reduced by the amounts set forth in the following table, prorated on a per square foot basis.
