Re: Comments on the City of Salinas Annual Plan for CDBG and HOME funds
Dear Ms. Hunter and City Council Members:
Monterey County Housing Inc. (MCHI) and MCHI Affordable Acquisitions, Inc. (MCHI/AA) are pleased to submit comments on the City of Salinas’ Annual Plan for Federal funds to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
We are a previously designated Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) through the City of Salinas, which has a recently completed project in Parkside One with $16 million in subordinate loans , This level of commitment demonstrates MCHI’s commitment to the development of affordable housing in our community. Please reference the attached inventory and housing assets attached to this letter.
We are diligently working on our CHDO re-certification pending the release of the City’s new application form in May 2023 and urge the Council to support and move this process forward. for MCHI and its affiliate non-profit MCHI/AA’s application, the latter of which currently owns the property upon which Parkside Two is sited.
The project is owned and shovel ready aside for funding. It is the desire of MCHI/AA to move forward to build Parkside Two, and to partner with the City of Salinas to allow this to occur.
The project known as Parkside One brought into the community over $70,000,000 in site improvements, housing, and a community center along with another 88 units for senior households/
MCHI and MCHI/AA owns and manages properties in the City of Salians. Our inventory is attached.
We officially request the following be added to the document as a goal:
• Partner with MCHI and MCHI/AA to obtain CHDO Status
• Provide seed money and technical assistance funding to MCHI/AA to obtain CHDO Status and move forward with Parkside Two
• Partner with MCHI/AA to provide a predevelopment loan to MCHI/AA to conduct predevelopment activities on the site known as Parkside Two.
