At the end of July 2022, NPHS reviewed their construction costs and identified a new funding gap due to increased material costs.
NPHS would not be able to fill the funding gap and complete the project within 12 months of the grant award. As a result, the City would not be able to accept the Round 2 Homekey grant. Staff will be submitting an application for Round 3 Homekey grant that will be released in Spring 2023. This delay will provide the developer with sufficient time to fill the funding gap by applying for tax credits and move the project forward. The City Attorney's Office is preparing a First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement to extend the outside closing date and update the project schedule and NPHS is considering applying for the State's competitive PLHA funds.
