RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING AND THE EXECUTION OF A STANDARD AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO FROM THE 2023 HOMEOWNERSHIP SUPER NOFA (HOSN) DATED JANUARY 6, 2023 WHEREAS, the City of Riverside has received competitive CalHome grant funds over multiple years since 2001. On January 6, 2023, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) released the 2023 Homeownership Super Notice of Funding Availability (“SuperNOFA”) making $170 million available to local public agencies and non-profits throughout the State of California for the CalHome Program ($135 million) and the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program-Homeownership ($35 million); and WHEREAS, these programs assist individual first-time homebuyers through deferred-payment loans for mortgage assistance, home rehabilitation (including rehabilitation of manufactured housing not on a permanent foundation, and construction, repair, or addition of ADU’s or JADU’s), acquisition and rehabilitation, homebuyer counseling, self-help mortgage assistance, or technical assistance for self-help homeownership. All funds to individual homeowners are in the form of deferred loans. The maximum grant for which a public agency can apply is $5,000,000; and WHEREAS, Staff is requesting to apply for $3,000,000 in CalHome Program funds to support its existing Citywide Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program. Currently, the City’s Program provides Community Development Block Grants (“CDBG”) and CalHome deferred loans to qualified homeowners to make repairs to their home, correcting health/safety issues as well as code enforcement violations. CDBG Grants in the amount of $5,000 are available to qualified single family homeowners and up to $15,000 is available for qualified mobile homeowners who require minor repairs. CalHome deferred loans up to $60,000 for single family home repairs are available. The program is available to persons earning at-or-below 80% of the Area Median Income; and WHEREAS, under the current SuperNOFA, Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Programs can provide deferred loans for the repair, reconstruction, or addition of an ADU or JADU to a single-family home as well as deferred loans to homeowners of manufactured housing for major rehabilitation or even reconstruction if determined necessary. The allowed maximum loan amount for the repair, reconstruction or addition of an ADU is $250,000. The maximum loan amount for replacement of a manufactured home not on a permanent foundation in the case where it has been determined by the City is infeasible to rehabilitate the home, will be $150,000. Staff recommends incorporating the following activities into the City’s Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program: (1) Repair, reconstruction or addition of an ADU or JADU to single-family homes; and (2) Major rehabilitation or even reconstruction of manufactured homes; and WHEREAS, with these grant funds the City will be able to assist a minimum of 20 households. If the City is awarded the CalHome grant, the funds would continue to be available to persons earning at-or-below 80% of the Area Median Income (at-or-below $70,400 for a family of four). There would be a 30-year affordability period on the ADU or JADU’s. The program provides up to 20% of grant funds to cover administration costs related to carrying out the grant, which would provide the City with up to $600,000 in administration cost. The CalHome grant term is three years; and WHEREAS, the City of Riverside has reviewed the submission to the State of California of one or more application(s) in the aggregate amount, not to exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for the following HOSN activities pursuant to the 2023 HOSN Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”):
Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Assistance $3,000,000
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Riverside, California, as follows:

Section 2: The City of Riverside hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager, or designee, to execute and deliver all applications and act on the City of Riverside’s behalf on all matters pertaining to all such applications; and
