E.1 Financial Resources
There are a variety of potential funding sources available for housing activities in general. Due to both the high costs of developing and preserving housing and limitations on both the amount and use of funds, a variety of funding sources may be required. Three primary recurring funding sources for housing currently used in Oakland include Oakland Housing Authority Funds for operating subsidy, and the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund and its local allocation of HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. These sources could potentially be used to assist in the support and development of affordable housing. Most other sources are not regularly recurring (voter approved Measure KK funds) or require competitive applications (e.g., State Local Housing Trust Fund). A summary of allocated and projected funding toward affordable housing needs, as administered by the City’s Department of Housing and Community Development (Oakland HCD), is provided in Table E-1 below.

OAKLAND HOUSING AUTHORITY FUNDS
The Oakland Housing Authority (OHA ) provides assistance through the use of federal, State and local funds, to partner with developers to create and preserve affordable housing in the City of Oakland . As one of the housing authorities participating in the Department of Housing & Urban Development’s (HUD) Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program, OHA works with community partners and stakeholders to develop and implement innovative solutions to the persistent issues of access to quality affordable housing. The OHA owns and operates public housing and administers the Project-Based Section 8 Voucher Program (PBV). Projects assisted by the O HA include multifamily, senior , and for-sale housing. Projects assisted by the OHA are available in Table E-2 below. Where appropriate, the City’s Department Housing & Community Development (DHCD) coordinates with OHA when awarding funds to the same projects.
For example, OHA may rely on DHCD’s competitive NOFA process to award OHA funds.
Under MTW flexibility, OHA consolidates the public housing Operating Subsidy, the Capital Fund Program (CFP), and the Housing Choice Voucher program funding into a single fund budget. During Fiscal Year 2023, OHA projects to spend approximately $16 million of its reserves on capital projects.
Approximately, $2 million will be invested in public housing property improvements. OHA expects to complete projects that will preserve and enhance each of its public housing sites, inves ting in site improvements, modernization of building systems and infrastructure, and rehabilitation of unit interiors.
OHA plans to allocate approximately $15 million in reserves for the new local, non -traditional Homekey program to address homelessness in Oakland. In 2021, Oakland acquired and rehabilitated 85 units of housing using Homekey funds. In addition, OHA will invest $25 million in the acquisition and development of properties in the development pipeline.

OHA Funds and other grant funds will be used in a variety of ways to facilitate the development and preservation of affordable housing. The City recognizes that the development of affordable housing cannot be accomplished through the efforts of the City alone. Partnerships must be developed with other private and governmental funding agencies, as well as with private for-profit and non-profit housing developers.
OHA continues to develop affordable housing to expand opportunities for families in need. Current projects and initiatives include:
• Brooklyn Basin – OHA, in partnership with the City of Oakland and MidPen Housing Corporation, is developing 465 units of affordable housing for low -income families, seniors, and formerly homeless individuals as part of the Brooklyn Basin master planned community. In FY 2022 OHA expects Phase 3 (Foon Lok West), which includes 130 units for families (65 assisted with PBVs), to complete construction and lease up. Phase 4 (Foon Lok East) is projected to close on all construction financing and start construction in the fourth quarter of FY 2022. This last phase adds 124 units (61 with PBVs) for families and formerly homeless individuals, and will complete the project.
• 285 12th Street – OHA, in partnership with the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC), will newly construct 65 affordable units for extremely- and very-low-income families and special needs populations (16 units assisted with PBVs), and 3,500 square feet of commercial space. The site is currently vacant and centrally located in downtown Oakland near several BART stations.
• Lake Park – OHA, in partnership with EAH Housing, will newly construct 53 affordable apartments for extremely - and very -low-income families and formerly homeless veterans (14 assisted with VASH vouchers). The site is the former Kwik- Way Drive Inn in the Grand Lake neighborhood of Oakland near Lake Merritt as well as an abundance of grocery and other neighborhood -serving retail and restaurants.
• Mandela Station – OHA has entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with MacFarlane Partners and SUDA in FY 2022 to newly construct 240 units for very -low-income families and approximately 16,000 square feet of commercial space in West Oakland. The site is currently owned City of Oakland 2023-2031 Housing Element Update
E-6
by BART and is an integral part of a new master planned community that will include approximately 700 units as well as commercial office and life science space. • Oak Grove North and South Apartments – OHA expects to complete the substantial rehabilitation of Oak Grove in FY 2022, a former public housing property comprised of 151 apartments for very- low-income seniors in two scattered sites in Downtown Oakland (all units will be assisted with PBVs except for the two resident manager units). Oak Grove was approved for disposition by HUD under Section 18 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1437) on July 5, 2018. • Acquisition – OHA will seek opportunities to acquire land and existing housing in order to preserve and/or create new housing opportunities.
• Reposition Current Assets – OHA will seek opportunities to reposition underutilized real estate in order to preserve and create new housing opportunities that may include a variety of strategies to meet Oakland’s need for additional permanent affordable housing. • Buyouts – OHA will exercise its option to purchase affordable housing developments in order to preserve affordable housing. During FY 2022, OHA plans to pursue this option for Lion Creek Crossing Phases 1 and 2 and Mandela Gateway.
• Repurpose – OHA may use interagency partnerships to repurpose underutilized properties to meet Oakland’s need for additional affordable housing.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND
The Affordable Housing Trust Fund is the primary local source of ongoing funding to increase, improve, and preserve the supply of affordable housing in Oakland. Through the Trust Fund, fee revenue leverages other federal, State, and county funding sources to produce more affordable units. City funds are intended to partially fill the gap between development costs and funding available from other private and public sources; this local funding commitment is often critical to securing additional gap funding for these projects.
The Trust Fund receives its revenues from the Affordable Housing Impact Fee (AHIF), the Jobs/Housing Impact Fee, and the 25 percent allocation of former redevelopment tax increment funds set aside for affordable housing (i.e., “boomerang funds”). In 2018, the City Council amended these boomerang funds to also be used towards anti-displacement and homeless prevention services. Funds from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund are awarded on a competitive basis to project developers responding to a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) issued by the City’s Housing and Community Development Department (City HCD). Requests for City funding for the 2020 NOFA ranged from 6 percent to 34 percent of total development costs, averaging 13 percent of costs.
The AHIF account had a fund balance of $17,519,186 as of June 30, 2021. This amount includes AHIF revenue received, as well as accrued interest and investment earnings. A total of $12,933,909 of impact fee funds are committed to six multifamily rental projects in various stages of pre- development, construction, and completion (see Table E-3 below). The projects will provide a total of 369 housing units affordable to extremely-low-, very-low-, and low-income households; some units are set aside for homeless and special needs households. After accounting for funds committed, $4,585,277 of the June 30, 2021 fund balance Appendix E: Housing Resources and Opportunities
E-7
remained uncommitted. A five-year review of the AHIF has concluded that the maximum legal fee is greater than the current adopted fee across all land uses.1

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
Through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funds to local governments for funding a wide range of community development activities. Oakland is expected to receive $7,750,367 as part of its a nnual allocation from the CDBG during 2021-2022 program year—per the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan—in addition to funds from program income and prior year resources, totaling about $10.9 million in funding. The City expects to have at least $22.9 million in available CDBG funding throughout the Consolidated Plan period (2020/2021 to 2024/2025). The CDBG funds are utilized to fund activities that include administration, public services, housing, economic development, and other activities benefiting low- to moderate-income households and communities. Specific projects financed by the CDBG include minor and emergency home repair programs, first time homebuyers’ program, supportive housing for seniors and special needs residents, anti- displacement measures, homelessness prevention and support, blighted property clean up, youth services, capital improvements, and expansion and preservation of the affordable housing supply. Program funds may also be used to complete required and approved housing rehabilitation construction repair activities and addressing lead-based paint hazards and includes all CDBG eligible project-related soft costs, including but not limited to, hazardous materials testing fees, title fees, and document recordation fees. Per the City’s Draft 2020/2021 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) , through a combination of funding sources (including CDBG funds) the City acquired seven sites for conversion/rehabilitation of 269 affordable housing units, completed construction and rehabilitation for 428 units, and started new construction of 323 units of affordable housing. Through a competitive process, the City also committed funding for another 448 units, providing the critical funding commitments that will build up the pipeline of affordable housing over the next several years. A summary of the geographic distribution of CDBG and other fed eral funding per the Draft 2020/2021 CAPER is provided in Table E -4 below.

OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING
Another source of housing assistance in the City of Oakland is through the Alameda County Community Development Agency (CDA ). The Housing and Community Development Department of the CDA maintains and expands housing opportunities for low - and moderate-income persons and families in the county by preserving and rehabilitating the county’s housing stock, expanding the supply of affordable housing for renters and first -time homebuyers, serving the needs of the homeless community, improving public infrastructure, and constructing neighborhood -serving facilities. The CD A’s specific accomplishments from the 2018-2019 year include:
• Provision of public services or safety net services – 5,033 clients served • Provision of housing counselling – 130 clients served • Economic development and job training – 88 clients served
City of Oakland 2023-2031 Housing Element Update
E-12
• Provision of services to homeless individuals
o 7,160 beds provided
o 21,540 meals served
• Affordable housing preservation – 29 units renovated
Further, the Alameda County CDA funds the provision of affordable housing through administering affordable housing bo nds. In November 2016, Alameda County voters approved the Affordable Housing Bond Measure A1. This measure issue d $580,000,000 in bonds for affordable local housing to the county.
The Alameda County Affordable Housing Bond Measure A1 by the City Rental Hou sing Development Fund allocated a base of $ 49,300,000 to Oakland. As of August 2021, no funds from the City’s project balance remain available. In Oakland, the Bond Measure A-1 funds supported the construction of 16 rental projects to develop 874 affordable housing units.
Bond Measure KK was also approved in November 2016 and provides loans for acquisition- related and rehabilitation costs associated with developing, protecting , and preserving long term affordable housing throughout the city. The $100,000.000 in funds were available to a number of borrowers, including affordable housing developers and community land trusts. The program was limited to buildings with one to four units. Measure KK funds have been entirely committed.
In November 2022, Oaklanders voted on whether to approve Bond Measure U, which would provide $350 million for the construction and preservation of affordable housing. Resources from this measure are expected to serve an important role in funding projects like those funded by Measure KK.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (State HCD) administered Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) is also another source of funding in Oakland. HOME funds are used to preserve and improve existing housing through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation (OOR) Program. In 2018, the City of Oakland received $3,042,249 in a HOME program grant award from the State HCD. HOME activities will continue to leverage Affordable Housing Trust Fund HOME dollars. The City has received this funding in the past and will continue to seek new HOME Investment Partnership Program funding.
Another key source of funding affordable housing within the City is HUD’s Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. HOPWA provides formula allocations and competitively awarded grants to eligible states, cities, and nonprofit organizations to provide housing ass istance and related supportive services to meet the housing needs of low-income persons and their families living with HIV/AIDS. In 2018, the City of Oakland received $2,835,545 in a HOPWA program grant award from HUD. HOPWA activities will include support services, outreach and information and referral, housing, and housing development in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties for persons living with AIDS and their families.
In addition, the City of Oakland received $628,532 from HUD’s Emerg ency Solutions Grants (ESG ) program in 2018. The ESG program provides funding to engage homeless individuals and families living on the street, improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families, help operate these shelters, provide essential services to shelter residents, rapidly re- house homeless individuals and families, and prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless. The City’s ESG Appendix E: Housing Resources and Opportunities
E-13
activities will support the Permanent Access To Housing (PATH) Strategy ; providing rapid rehousing , shelter, and outreach services; and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities.
In November 2018, Oakland voters approved Measure W, the Oakland Vacant Property Tax (VPT). The VPT Act establishes an annual tax of $3,000 to $6,000 on vacant property for 20 years . A property is considered “vacant” if it is in use less than 50 days in a calendar year, subject to certain exemptions. In its first year, the VPT brought in approximately $5,600,000. The City has established that revenue from the VPT will be used to fund homelessness programs and services, affordable housing, code enforcement, and cleanup of blighted properties and illegal dumping.

Low Income Housing
Tax Credit (LIHTC)
Established in 1986, the LIHTC program makes tax credits available to individuals and corporations that invest in low-income rental housing. Usually, the tax credits are sold to corporations with a high tax liability and the proceeds from the sale are used to create the housing. The program is able to finance the construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing by providing sufficient incentive to private developers and investors. In California, project developers must apply to the State for LIHTC allocations. Allocations of both LIHTC programs, 9% tax credits and 4% tax credits and tax-exempt bonds, are very competitive in California, particularly in high cost Bay Area jurisdictions like Oakland.

Mobilehome Park
Rehabilitation and
Resident Ownership
Program (MPRROP)
MPRROP makes short- and long-term low interest rate loans for the preservation of affordable mobile home parks for ownership or control by resident organizations, nonprofit housing sponsors, or local public agencies.

California Tax Credit
Allocation Committee
(TCAC) State Tax
Credits
TCAC facilitates the investment of private capital into the development of affordable rental housing for low-income Californians through State and federal tax credits. Tax credits are available to both individuals and corporations. The tax credits are sold to individuals or corporations with a high tax liability and the proceeds from the sale are used to create affordable housing. Project developers must apply to TCAC for LIHTC allocations. Allocations of both LIHTC programs, 9% tax credits and 4% tax credits and tax-exempt bonds, are very competitive in California, particularly in high-cost Bay Area jurisdictions like Oakland. These awards are typically the last source of funding needed before starting construction of new affordable housing projects.
California Housing
Finance Agency
(CalHFA) Multifamily
Programs
CalHFA provides a variety of loan programs for different project types and income levels. Permanent Loan Programs include competitive long-term financing for affordable multifamily rental housing projects, where the Agency must be the Bond Issuer. CalHFA also offers the Conduit Issuer Program, which facilitates access to tax-exempt and taxable bonds by developers seeking financing for eligible projects that provide affordable multifamily rental housing, which can be used when another lender is involved. CalHFA offers the Bond Recycling Program to preserve and recycle prior years tax-exempt private activity bond volume cap to be accessed by developers that seek construction/rehabilitation financing for eligible projects that provide affordable multifamily rental housing.
California Housing
Finance Agency
(CalHFA) Loan
Programs
CalHFA provides a number of loan programs, including First Mortgage Programs and the Down Payment Assistance Program. The First Mortgage Programs include both government and conventional loans, while the Down Payment Assistance Program provides several options for down payment and closing cost assistance.
Independent Cities
Lease Finance Authority
(ICFA)
Oakland is an associate member of the ICFA which provides down payment and/or closing cost assistance and assists qualified nonprofit organizations to acquire and manage multi-family housing communities, including manufactured home parks.
County Programs
Alameda County
Community
Development Agency
(CDA) Programs
Alameda County CDA offers a variety of programs targeted towards homeowners, potential homebuyers, low-income renters, and those experiencing homelessness.
This includes public services, home and neighborhood repair and rehabilitation programs, rental assistance, supportive housing, public housing, and funding for homeless services.
City Programs
Access Improvement

Mortgage Assistance
Program (MAP) for First
Time Homebuyers
This program is still in place but does not have a dedicated source of funding. City staff will administer loans under this program as program income becomes available through State CalHOME NOFAs as well as loan repayments. This program provides deferred interest loans of up to $75,000 to low-income, owner-occupant, first time homebuyers; and up to $50,000 to moderate-income, owner-occupant, first time homebuyers.
First-time Homebuyer
Shared Appreciation
Mortgage (SAM)
Program of the Local
Housing Trust Fund
A California State grant funded program that provides funds to local jurisdictions that have a local housing trust fund. The program provides assistance to first time homebuyers via deferred loans for up to $60,000. This program is still in place but does not currently have any grant funding. City staff will apply for funds and administer them as State or other grants become available. Because the State’s Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) program is competitive and scores more highly for new construction, the City’s recent applications have dedicated any awarded LHTF funds towards its new construction pipeline.
Investor-Owned
Properties Program
Enforce City ordinance requiring investors who purchase properties with foreclosure history to register and allow for City interior inspection to address habitability issues.
Affordable Housing
New Construction and
Substantial
Rehabilitation Program

Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA)
Federal law requires that banks, savings and loans, thrifts, and their affiliated mortgaging subsidiaries annually evaluate the credit needs for public projects in communities where they operate. This includes meeting the needs of borrowers in all segments of the communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. This is relevant because some of the above lending activities (e.g., LIHTC equity investment or construction lending for affordable projects) are CRA- eligible.
E.2 Administrative Resources
The provision of affordable housing in any community requires both financial resources as well as administrative resources. Housing programs require that a number of entities work together in partnership to bring the necessary resources together to provide affordable housing. Provided below is a brief discussion of some of the administrative resources that the City has available to provide for housing programs.
Appendix E: Housing Resources and Opportunities
E-19
Affordable housing development projects within Oakland are directly funded and asset managed by the City’s Housing & Community Development Department (Oakland HCD). Oakland HCD also administers the City’s federal allocations of CDBG, HOME, and HOPWA, as well as oversight of the Rental Adjustment Program (RAP). Through the coordinated effort of these divisions, the needs for affordable housing are assessed and planned for, proposed developments are regulated in accordance with the City’s planning and zoning codes, and funding is available through the City’s annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
For-profit and non -profit housing developers are valuable resource partners in the development of affordable housing. The City has successfully worked with housing developers to complete affordable housing projects; since 1998 the City has funded the development of over 6,000 units of housing.
The Oakland Redevelopment Agency, active from October 10, 1956 to February 1, 2012, managed numerous affordable housing projects and programs within eight active Redevelopment Project Areas in Oakland. With the diss olution of the Oakland Redevelopment Agency along with all statewide Redevelopment Agencies, the new Redevelopment Successor Agency, located within the Public/Private Development Division of the Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWD), was created to wind down and complete the activities of the former Redevelopment Agency.
The Oakland Housing Authority, a completely separate entity from the City, manages a portfolio of affordable housing units in the city, although most affordabl e housing units are privately managed by non-
profit organizations. The OHA administers the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Section 8 program in Oakland, and also owns and oversees the management of hundreds of units of legacy public housing and partner to develop new affordable housing.
E.3 Other Housing Resources and Considerations
PUBLICLY-OWNED AND SURPLUS LAND
The 2023-2031 Housing Element Sites Inventory includes a number of sites owned by a local public entity, including the City, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, and the County of Alameda.
Guidance provided by State HCD indicates that sites owned or leased by a city, county, or city and county are generally considered appropriate as “developable” sites, and that non-vacant publicly owned surplus or excess land provide significant opportunities for residential development. Further, State law—including AB 1486 and AB 1255— seeks to identify and prioritize State and local surplus lands available for housing development affordable to lower-income households. It should be noted that not all publicly-owned land is considered surplus land. Pursuant to Government Code section 54221, “surplus land” means land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use.
As of the compilation of this Housing Element ( April 2022), based on records from the Alameda County Assessor, the City has identified 2,741 parcels —representing about 24,173.6 acres —within city limits that are publicly-owned (not necessarily all surplus land). While not all of these parcels are currently suitable for housing development, they still represent a significant resource with long -range potential for housing development – depending on the site. The agencies that own these parcels are listed in Table E-6 below.

Source: Alameda County, Assessor Parcel Data, 2021; City of Oakland, 2022 These sites are located in a diverse array of locations throughout the city within various zoning districts and densities for potential residential development. A number of these sites have the potential to accommodate residential development – the 2023-2031 Oakland Housing Sites Inventory includes 115 publicly -owned parcels which have either been declared surplus or have plans to be declared surplus in the near future, including some that have already undergone solicitation for affordable housing proposals. Action 3.3.1 and
3.3.4 in the HAP facilitate development on these surplus sites and also will be eligible for CEQA tiering. In accordance with AB 1486 and AB 1255, the City continues to work with local agencies to determine whether there is surplus or excess land that is not necessary for the agency’s use and may be identified as “surplus” for reporting to the State HCD and California Department of General Services (DGS) with the intention of connecting developers to potential lands available for housing development affordable to lower -income households. See Table E-7 below for a listing of declared surplus sites in Oakland.
