COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: November 19, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Grant for $430,000 to the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara for Santa Barbara Green Mobile Home Park Located at 1200 Punta Gorda Street RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approve the allocation of appropriations in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRLP) in the amount of $430,000 to fund a request from the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara (HACSB) for a $430,000 grant for the rehabilitation of the property owned by 2nd Story Associates Mobile Homes, LLC, an instrument of HACSB, located at 1200 Punta Gorda Street (Property); and authorize the Community Development Director to execute such agreements and related documents, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara (HACSB) is requesting funding on behalf of their instrument, 2nd Story Associates Mobile Homes, LLC, as the owner of the subject property, to perform critical infrastructure work to correct failures and ensure the safe and sustainable provision of water and sewer utility services throughout the mobile home park (Attachment). The park consists of 41 spaces with mobile homes restricted to Low-Income households and a home/office for the park’s on-site manager. These improvements are necessary to preserve the affordable housing provided at Green Mobile Home Park.
In May 2022, City and HACSB staff worked with the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to transfer the ownership of the park to HACSB to stave off the potential foreclosure of the park due to the previous owner’s financial default and thereby prevent the loss of affordable housing.

of deferred maintenance has caused health and safety concerns for the residents of the park and the surrounding neighborhood.
Progress Update
Since the acquisition, HACSB has worked diligently to address the substantial deferred maintenance, and health and safety concerns, and has already made the following improvements:
The unsafe on-site manager’s house/office was demolished and replaced with a new manufactured home.
Electrical and natural gas lines throughout the park were past their useful lifespans and have been replaced through a state-sponsored program award secured by HACSB.
Additional Work Required
The water and sewer lines throughout the park experience frequent failures that require continual repairs.
The water and sewer infrastructure needs replacement to ensure adequate, safe, and sustainable utility provision (project).
Asphalt paving throughout the park will be needed once all the utility infrastructure has been replaced.
Project Costs
The Housing Authority received quotes from three experienced companies that do the type of work required for the project. The following table summarizes the estimated costs:
Scope of Work Estimated Costs
Sewer Line Replacements $205,800
Water Line Replacements $264,600
Total $470,400
The costs in the table above reflect prevailing wages and are the most accurate estimates currently available. They are subject to change, pending receipt of actual bids. HACSB will provide any additional funding required to complete the project if the project’s final costs exceed CDBG HRLP funds and cash available in the mobile home park’s capital reserves.
Council Agenda Report
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Grant for $430,000 to the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara for Santa Barbara Green Mobile Home Park Located at 1200 Punta Gorda Street
November 19, 2024
City Policy
In April 2007, City Council granted authority to the Loan Committee to approve loans and grants to nonprofit housing providers totaling up to $60,000 per unit and $360,000 per project. This $430,000 request exceeds the Loan Committee’s threshold for approval and requires the City Council’s approval. Despite the total, the per-unit cost remains low for this property at approximately $10,488 per unit.
Affordability
The City’s CDBG HRLP funding does not require placement of an affordability control covenant as a condition of the grant funding; however, the City recorded a new 90-year affordability covenant on the property when the title transferred from the California Department of Housing and Community Development to HACSB, which expires in 2112.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the requested $430,000 grant. The rehabilitation work will extend the useful life of the property, which will in turn continue to provide much-needed affordable housing in the community. There are sufficient CDBG HRLP funds available for this request, and the project will help the City meet the federal grant expenditure timeliness requirements for the use of CDBG funds.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations available for this project in the CDBG HRLP fund. If approved, the City will provide $430,000 in grant funding for the recommended rehabilitation project. The recommended grant will deplete the current balance of HRLP funds. The City receives approximately $300,000 annually in HRLP loan repayments that increase the balance of available CDBG HRLP funding.

RE: REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS
SANTA BARBARA GREEN MOBILE HOME PARK
1200 PUNTA GORDA STREET, SANTA BARBARA
Dear Laura:
On behalf of 2nd Story Associates Mobile Homes LLC, the Housing Authority is requesting funding in the total amount of $430,000 to provide needed capital improvements (i.e. replacement of the water and sewer lines) at the park.
As you are aware, the Housing Authority, working with the City of Santa Barbara, was able to successfully stave off the potential foreclosure of the Santa Barbara Green Mobile Home Park and preserve these residences as affordable housing within the community. The property transferred to new ownership by 2nd Story Associates Mobile Homes LLC in May 2022, with property management provided by the Housing Authority.
Since that time, the Housing Authority has been working diligently to address the substantial deferred maintenance issues at the mobile home park. The unsafe onsite manager’s house/office was demolished and replaced with a new manufactured home. Taking advantage of a state-sponsored program for utility infrastructure replacements, the entire park is completing the replacement of all of the electrical and natural gas lines at the property. The gas lines should be converted by Southern California Gas over to the new lines within the coming weeks and the electrical conversion by Edison should happen shortly thereafter.
In addition to gas and electrical lines past their useful life, the water lines and sewer lines likewise are in a very poor state and are constantly requiring attention for repairs and failures. It is critical that these lines also get replaced. The Housing Authority received quotes from three experienced companies that do this type of work to support the estimates provided. One of the companies (SWE which provided the quote shown) specializes in infrastructure improvements for mobile home parks and is very familiar with State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) mobile home park requirements.The table below summarizes the estimated costs for these projects:
Attachment 1
Letter to Laura Dubbels
October 10, 2024
Amount Scope of Work
$205,800 Sewer line replacements
$264,600 Water line replacements
________
$470,400 Total
The costs referenced above reflect prevailing wages and include a contingency. These numbers may be subject to further change, but this is our best estimate as of today.
We understand the project is subject to CDBG bidding requirements. To the extent that this project’s final costs exceed the funds being requested from the City and also exceed cash available in capital reserves of the mobile home park owner, we anticipate that the Housing Authority will fund the difference using its cash reserves in the form of a residual receipts loan (a separate request for this is being prepared for the Housing Authority Commission’s approval).
We look forward to preserving this affordable housing type for as many interested low income households as possible. The park provides forty-one spaces in addition to the manager's home. Please let us know if you require any additional information.
Thank you for your consideration of this funding request.
Sincerely,
Dale Fathe-Aazam
Deputy Executive Director, Real Estate and Technology
