Mr. James Kemper
City of Santa Monica
Housing and Economic Development Department, Housing Division 1901 Main Street, Suite B
Santa Monica, CA 90401
RE: 1318 Fourth Street Aff ordable Housing Development RFP #243 Dear Mr. Kemper:
Abode CommuniƟ es is pleased to present its proposal for the redevelopment of 1318 Fourth Street in the City of Santa Monica. Herein referred to as The Terraces at Fourth, this vibrant mixed-use aff ordable development will serve low-income individuals and families, and the Santa Monica community at-large, with 107 service-enhanced aff ordable homes and 18,000 square feet of ground fl oor commercial programming, including a an independent bookstore with cafe and a workshop for arts-related nonprofi t organizaƟ ons. The Terraces at Fourth off ers a unique and forward-looking mixed-use concept that capitalizes on this valuable City-owned property to deliver a lasƟ ng space for community connecƟ vity and exchange, while also providing stable homes and wrap-around services for Santa Monica’s most vulnerable community members.
Development Concept
Abode CommuniƟ es’ proposal for The Terraces at Fourth balances the City’s objecƟ ve to maximize aff ordable housing, provide nonprofi t space, and meet the community’s desire for unique retail experiences. The commercial program acƟ vates the ground fl oor into an arts and cultural desƟ naƟ on that emphasizes community connecƟ vity with a 7,100 square foot independent bookstore and café, 1,480 square feet of bouƟ que retail spaces for local entrepreneurs, a naturally-lit community gathering space, and a 3,500 square foot workshop space for nonprofi t arts organizaƟ ons. Below-market lease rates and strategic markeƟ ng and outreach will ensure the retail spaces are accessible to local, independent business not currently represented in the Downtown market.
The Terraces at Fourth’s housing concept off ers 107 units of service-enhanced aff ordable housing, with 60 units set-aside as supporƟ ve housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, 46 units for low-income individuals and families, and one manager’s unit. The highly ameniƟ zed housing concept includes over 10,000 square feet of open space divided between a large common courtyard and two residenƟ al terraces, a resident center with acƟ ve programming from Beyond Homes, and a robust supporƟ ve services program delivered by St.
Joseph Center to help residents achieve and maintain stability.
Development and OperaƟ onal Experience
With more than 50 years in operaƟ on, Abode CommuniƟ es is the longest established aff ordable and supporƟ ve housing developer in Southern California. As a Los Angeles-based and regional real estate developer, the organizaƟ on has been naƟ onally recognized as an Aff ordable Housing Finance Top 50 Developer; as the leading provider of Leadership in Energy & Environment Design (LEED) PlaƟ num units in the State of California (U.S.
Green Building Council, 2018); and as the SCANPH Developer of the Year in 2018.
Throughout its history, Abode CommuniƟ es has invested more than $640 million in economic acƟ vity throughout Los Angeles County, having developed more than 45 residenƟ al and mixed-use communiƟ es with nearly 3,000 high-quality rental homes that have improved the livelihoods of some 10,000 residents.
1. Cover Letter
Abode CommuniƟ es has a long track record of success in leveraging a diverse range of funding sources – including the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, tax-exempt bond fi nancing, the Aff ordable Housing & Sustainable CommuniƟ es and the Infi ll Infrastructure Grant programs, the Los Angeles County Development Authority, and various Federal operaƟ ng subsidy programs – to successfully deliver large-scale, complex, mixeduse projects.
Today, Abode CommuniƟ es’ property and asset management porƞ olio includes 37 properƟ es with 2,530 aff ordable homes for nearly 7,000 individuals, the majority of whom are also served by Abode CommuniƟ es’ Beyond Homes resident services program. At The Terraces on Fourth, supporƟ ve services partner St. Joseph Center will bring its more than 40-year history of serving persons experiencing homelessness on the Westside to deliver a coordinated and comprehensive social service model aimed at helping residents remain stable in their housing.
Design Experience
Abode CommuniƟ es was originally established in 1968 as an all-volunteer organizaƟ on of architects dedicated to socially benefi cial work. Today, the studio is considered a leader in the design and planning of infi ll, transit-rich, mixed-use sites with rigorous environmentally sustainable design standards. Since 2009, the studio has designed six LEED PlaƟ num and three LEED Gold aff ordable mulƟ family buildings. It’s most recent endeavor, Rolland CurƟ s Gardens, features the new construcƟ on of 140 aff ordable homes combined with a 6,500 square foot community health center and a 1,500 square foot local market. The project was completed in 2019 and is expected to achieve a LEED PlaƟ num raƟ ng.
Lastly, Abode CommuniƟ es’ architectural leadership includes design principals with a deep history of working in Santa Monica. From projects like Ocean Avenue South Master Plan, Waverly Housing, and Seychelles Housing to 2802 Pico aff ordable housing, the design team is well versed in how to deliver a meaningful design and program to the City, it’s local community, and ulƟ mately, the residents who will call it home.
Financing Analysis and Capacity
The fi nancing strategy for The Terraces of Fourth leverages Abode CommuniƟ es’ extensive experience securing Federal, State, and local capital sources to construct a project that delivers on the City of Santa Monica’s objecƟ ves for the site without relying on the Housing Trust Fund. Abode CommuniƟ es’ conservaƟ ve underwriƟ ng of the ground fl oor concept ensures the team’s ability to deliver on the vision for a unique retail and communityoriented program. As a mission-based nonprofi t organizaƟ on, Abode CommuniƟ es is commiƩ ed to the long-term ownership and success of high-quality, service-enriched aff ordable housing.
Given the depth of its development and design experience, the strength of its supporƟ ve services partners, and proven history of success fi nancing, construcƟ ng, and operaƟ ng high-quality mixed-use aff ordable housing developments, Abode CommuniƟ es is confi dent in its ability to deliver on the City of Santa Monica’s objecƟ ves for this valuable asset.
Thank you for your consideraƟ on of Abode CommuniƟ es’ proposal for The Terraces at Fourth. We look forward to collaboraƟ ng with the City of Santa Monica and the surrounding community on this exciƟ ng development.
Sincerely,
Robin Hughes
President & CEO

The Terraces at Fourth
3.a - Vision and Summary of Uses
Abode CommuniƟ es’ vision for The Terraces at Fourth transforms an obsolete parking structure into an arts and cultural desƟ naƟ on that emphasizes community connecƟ vity and contributes to the City of Santa Monica’s goal of an inclusive Downtown neighborhood. Abode CommuniƟ es’ proposal balances the City’s objecƟ ve to maximize aff ordable housing, provide nonprofi t space, and meet the community’s desire for unique retail experiences. The development program off ers 8,600 square feet of commercial space intended for independent retailers; 3,500 square feet of fl exible workshop nonprofi t space; and 107 units of service-enhanced aff ordable and supporƟ ve housing. The Terraces at Fourth off ers a unique and forward-looking mixed-use concept that capitalizes on this valuable City-owned property to deliver a lasƟ ng space for community connecƟ vity and exchange, while also providing stable homes and wrap-around services for Santa Monica’s most vulnerable residents.
While the ulƟ mate design will be informed by an extensive community outreach process and partnership with the City of Santa Monica, Abode CommuniƟ es|Architecture envisions a modern design that celebrates the dynamic arts and cultural focus of the development while complemenƟ ng the local architecture adjacent to the site.
Architectural details along the pedestrian corridor will have a high-level of transparency and interest, suggesƟ ng public architecture that invites people to experience the groundfl oor retail. Details at the upper residenƟ al levels will evoke domesƟ c architecture, disƟ nguishing the uses and provide greater visual interest along both the 4th Street and 3rd Court facades. Consistent with Abode CommuniƟ es’ organizaƟ on-wide commitment to environmental sustainability, The Terraces at Fourth will achieve a minimum LEED Gold raƟ ng through the use of sustainable and durable construcƟ on materials and systems, including both photovoltaic- and solar thermal-systems at the roof level.
Ground Floor Concept
The ground fl oor of The Terraces at Fourth features a commercial program guided by principles of fl exibility, accessibility, and compaƟ bility. Informed by discussions with acƟ ve Downtown Santa Monica commercial developers and brokers, as well as Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. (“DTSM”), the ground fl oor program is designed to adapt to the constantly changing retail landscape, which is paramount to ensuring long-term fi nancial sustainability. This special focus on market resiliency recognizes Downtown as a dynamic and thriving creaƟ ve and cultural center. Proposed ground fl oor commercial uses, which are further detailed below, include an independent bookstore and café, local-serving bouƟ que retail, and nonprofi t workshop space. By providing a thoughƞ ul combinaƟ on of retail spaces, The Terraces at Fourth prioriƟ zes opportuniƟ es for community connecƟ vity, local entrepreneurship, an acƟ ve pedestrian corridor, and unique retail experiences for desƟ naƟ on visitors.
To ensure the retail spaces are accessible to local, independent businesses, the commercial pro forma assumes below-market lease rates as described in greater detail in SecƟ on 5 – Financing Strategy.
3. Development and Services Concept
Abode

The Terraces at Fourth
The third criƟ cal consideraƟ on in programming the ground fl oor space is sensiƟ vity to the needs of the residents living in the housing above, in parƟ cular avoiding commercial uses that incorporate elements incompaƟ ble with the unique social service needs of supporƟ ve housing residents.
Transforming the site into a desƟ naƟ on for arts and cultural exchange begins at the sidewalk with pedestrian-friendly urban design elements to acƟ vate the site along 4th Street. Subtle setbacks in strategic places along the façade create inviƟ ng entrances into the development and create opportuniƟ es for publicly accessible outdoor paƟ o space.
Glass storefront along the façade promotes visibility and piques passersby’s interest.
An interior atrium equipped with tables and lounging chairs serves as a central focal point for the commercial program. High ceilings with light wells from the deck above fi ll the environment with natural light. An inviƟ ng passageway connects 4th Street to 3rd Court. A separate open-air vesƟ bule on 4th Street provides a welcoming entrance for the residenƟ al component with a visually cohesive character while maintaining separaƟ on from the commercial uses.
Bookstore and Café. A 7,100 square foot independent bookstore and café anchors the ground fl oor retail. A modern independent bookseller is an acƟ vator for the enƟ re block, with a wide variety of book inventory and non-book merchandise, as well as robust events programming. Situated prominently at the northeast corner of the bookstore, a community café energizes 4th Street and invites people into the atrium, a central interior court with lounge space for residents and community members to mingle and refl ect.
Glass sliding walls separate the café and bookstore spaces, providing the fl exibility for the two spaces to be operated in tandem by a single tenant or with greater separaƟ on of uses. Vroman’s Bookstore/Book Soup has expressed interest in bringing its Book Soup concept to The Terraces at Fourth, providing guidance to the development team regarding the size and operaƟ onal elements of the space.
BouƟ que Retail. An addiƟ onal 1,480 square foot retail space off ers a home for a local apparel or specialty store. This space also has the potenƟ al to be demised for two separate tenants desiring a smaller footprint. In keeping with the vision of a desƟ naƟ on for arts and culture, The Terraces at Fourth will target its tenant outreach to local entrepreneurs with an emphasis on arts and craŌ s or other cultural wares. Glass storefronts and high ceilings will be warm and inviƟ ng to passersby. The space will be designed and developed with infrastructure in place to accommodate food service for maximum fl exibility of future uses.
The retail off erings along 4th Street will draw visitors further into the atrium via addiƟ onal pop-up spaces for nascent arƟ sts and entrepreneurs working to build a market for their products. These spaces will be leased at no-cost on a rotaƟ ng basis. Abode CommuniƟ es anƟ cipates coordinaƟ ng with the City of Santa Monica’s Economic Development Division and DTSM to establish a local vendor outreach program, as well as explore opportuniƟ es to engage with nonprofi t social enterprise businesses through supporƟ ve services partner St. Joseph Center.

The Workshop. Moving west through the atrium, visitors reach the Workshop, 3,500 square feet that serves as a fl exible workshop space for nonprofi t arts organizaƟ ons.
Based on discussions with Santa Monica Cultural Aff airs regarding space needs among local nonprofi t arts organizaƟ ons, the Workshop is anƟ cipated to be used for fl exible co-working, performance and rehearsal, gallery space for nonprofi t groups, or other programmed acƟ viƟ es and outreach.
The development team will explore this space’s ulƟ mate programming and design through further collaboraƟ on with Santa Monica Cultural Aff airs, Santa Monica Arts Commission, and local nonprofi t organizaƟ ons during the community engagement process. Garagestyle roll-up doors frame the space, adding textural interest to its façade and allowing for maximum fl exibility of uses. The locaƟ on of this dynamic use along 3rd Court will acƟ vate the alley, with opportuniƟ es to open the garage doors and host exhibiƟ on nights and other events along the 3rd Court frontage, building on the momentum from adjacent uses like The Gallery and Westside Comedy Theater.
Public Art. As a desƟ naƟ on for arts and cultural exchange, The Terraces at Fourth incorporates an engaging public art plan featuring several areas for potenƟ al installaƟ ons.
These opportuniƟ es include a mural at the upper level of the 3rd Court elevaƟ on that would be visible from the Promenade, as well as a collaboraƟ on between architect and arƟ st to incorporate a piece that defi nes the residenƟ al entrance along 4th Street. In addiƟ on to a permanent installaƟ on, the ground fl oor atrium and passageway would include rotaƟ ng displays of local arƟ sts, with the potenƟ al to give parƟ cular visibility for the works of low-income and formerly-homeless arƟ sts. The development team plans to heavily engage local stakeholders in the decisions around style, placement, and content maƩ er during the community engagement process.
Basement Level. A subterranean parking garage off ering 52 parking stalls for property management and services staff , as well as some residents, is provided at the basement level with vehicular access from the alley. A secure bike room featuring 149 long-term spaces, encourages mode-shiŌ by residents and staff , as well as employees of the commercial spaces. While Abode CommuniƟ es has included basement-level parking for staff and for the larger households occupying the two bedroom units, the site’s superior access to high-quality transit and provision of transit passes to residents will further encourage reduced car ownership and usage.
Housing Concept
ResidenƟ al Dwellings. The Terraces at Fourth off ers 107 aff ordable homes for individuals and families earning between 30% and 80% of Area Median Income. FiŌ y-one (51) studio, 22 one-bedroom/one-bathroom, and 34 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units are arranged in a fi ve-story u-shaped structure. Units are organized in double- and single-loaded corridors to provide density and aff ord views into the central courtyard and beyond the Downtown neighborhood. The building massing includes setbacks along all facades that meet or exceed Downtown Community Plan requirements to create modulaƟ on and present a scale appropriate for this vibrant transit-rich, Downtown locaƟ on.
3.a - Vision and Summary of Uses (cont’d)

Communities
The Terraces at Fourth
The inclusion of two-bedroom units in the housing concept addresses the need for familysized units idenƟfi ed in the Downtown Community Plan, as well as input from Abode CommuniƟ es’ supporƟ ve services partner St. Joseph Center (SJC). While individuals are oŌ en the most visible face of homelessness in Santa Monica, SJC has noted a growing need to serve families that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness and oŌ en go under counted. Sixty (60) of the units will be set-aside as supporƟ ve housing for individuals and families currently experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, while the remaining 47 will feature aff ordable family housing and one manager’s unit.
Many of the elements within The Terraces at Fourth are designed to meet the unique needs of each resident demographic, including furnished units, full kitchens in every unit, and private and public outdoor spaces to create comfortable, livable spaces that promote connecƟ vity.
Each individual unit is appointed with spacious living areas and state-of-the art kitchens and bathrooms. Private balconies for the one- and two-bedroom units connect interior and outdoor spaces. Units on the west side of the development have balconies overlooking the alley, ensuring the development engages 3rd Court. Units are oriented to maximize natural light and venƟ laƟ on. Careful selecƟ on of environmentally sustainable materials and systems will minimize the development’s environmental impact, all the while promoƟ ng healthy and cost-effi cient living environment for residents.
AmeniƟ es. The Terraces at Fourth off ers ample ameniƟ es for its residents to meet their everyday needs, as well as off er opportuniƟ es for residents to interact and create a supporƟ ve community. Residents and guests enter The Terraces at Fourth via a welcoming open-air vesƟ bule located along 4th Street that will be disƟ nct in architectural character from the commercial spaces, providing privacy and security. A main stair leads from the vesƟ bule up to the second fl oor common area and residences. Beyond the vesƟ bule is the property management offi ce, a residenƟ al elevator lobby, and St. Joseph Center’s supporƟ ve services offi ces. Two elevators connect the ground fl oor to the ameniƟ es and dwelling units on fl oors two (2) through six (6) above the podium. An exit-only passageway separates the property management and supporƟ ve services spaces and leads directly into the atrium, encouraging residents to enjoy the ground fl oor commercial off erings while restricƟ ng access to secure residenƟ al areas by non-residents.
In addiƟ on to a comprehensive on-site supporƟ ve services program described in the supporƟ ve services secƟ on below, other residenƟ al ameniƟ es include secure bicycle storage, a 2,130 square foot resident center, and laundry rooms and trash chutes on every residenƟ al fl oor.
Open Space. The Terraces at Fourth provides more than 10,000 square feet of common open space in three disƟ nct areas of the residenƟ al component. A 7,415 square foot central courtyard forms the heart of residenƟ al community life. Strategically-placed landscape, outdoor furniture, and other physical elements defi ne zones within the large open space. At the southern end of the courtyard, closest to the two-bedroom family units, is an outdoor play area that will invite children and families to connect with their neighbors. The center of the courtyard is a fl exible mulƟ -purpose space supporƟ ng a spectrum of acƟ viƟ es such as parƟ es, fi tness, or simply a place for aŌ ernoon picnics or evening gatherings.

A total of 107 units of housing aff ordable to low-income individuals and families that will be leased up from referrals from the City-maintained list of prospecƟ ve tenants;
A signifi cant commitment to providing permanent supporƟ ve housing by allocaƟ ng 60 units for individuals and families experiencing homelessness; A robust supporƟ ve services program to address the specifi c needs of the diverse resident populaƟ on
Ownership and operaƟ on by a nonprofi t, mission-based organizaƟ on with a 51- year history of serving the community;
A commitment to the long-term sustainability of the development as high-quality, service-enriched and supporƟ ve housing;
Thoughƞ ul and responsive decisions regarding design and development program elements to maximize cost-eff ecƟ veness and reduce the need for addiƟ onal investment from the City Housing Trust Fund;
A ground-fl oor commercial program that both inspires and incubates Santa Monica’s future makers and entrepreneurs, bringing unique off erings, including an independent bookstore, to Downtown; and
Inclusion of a fl exible workshop that will become an asset for local nonprofi t arts organizaƟ ons.
3.b - Supportive Services
With more than half of the units reserved for individuals and families transiƟ oning from homelessness and the remainder targeƟ ng low-income households, the on-site resident services program provides a wide range of support that can be tailored to individual needs to help residents remain stable in their housing as they work to achieve/maintain economic stability.
For higher acuity residents requiring a greater level of individualized services, the development includes four offi ces for case managers and other staff , as well as mulƟ ple indoor and outdoor spaces appropriate for small group gatherings. The case management offi ces are intenƟ onally located separate from property management offi ces, with the main gathering spaces promoƟ ng resident privacy as they interact with case managers.
Located at the second level, the 2,130 square foot resident center is the focal point of Abode CommuniƟ es’ signature resident services program, Beyond Homes. Glass storefront encloses the 4th Street façade of the resident center, creaƟ ng visual appeal for pedestrian passersby and bringing ample natural light into the space. A private offi ce for Beyond Homes staff is located adjacent to the resident center.

Target PopulaƟ on
The Terraces at Fourth will address the housing and social service needs of a mixedincome populaƟ on including individuals and families experiencing homeless, households at-risk of homelessness, and households earning below 80% Area Median Income. With this in mind, Abode CommuniƟ es proposes a comprehensive on-site supporƟ ve service program that includes both Abode CommuniƟ es’ signature resident services program, Beyond Homes, as well as supporƟ ve service program off ered by Venice-based St. Joseph Center (SJC).
Social Service Philosophy
Abode CommuniƟ es’ and St. Joseph Center’s collecƟ ve philosophy is anchored by an integrated, coordinated service approach aimed to empower residents to remain stable in their homes, become independent, and live healthy, rewarding lives. UƟ lizing a “housing fi rst” and “harm reducƟ on” model to support individuals as they transiƟ on into housing, the social service team will provide compassionate, individualized, complimentary services designed to help residents meet their self-determined goals.
Service Needs
The transformaƟ on of communiƟ es cannot rely on the producƟ on of aff ordable housing alone. Low-income individuals and families, like those who will live at The Terraces at Fourth, oŌ en face unique challenges that inhibit their ability to remain stable in their housing and achieve economic stability. One single crisis event – a job loss, a medical event, a car accident, loss of childcare – oŌ en has catastrophic consequences that result in housing instability. When families and individuals are forced with no other choice than to live with family and friends, overcrowding occurs. When these same families and individuals have no safety net, they become homeless.
Similarly, families experiencing homelessness and chronically homeless individuals who transiƟ on to permanent housing at The Terraces at Fourth also require a rich array of supporƟ ve services to help them maintain stable housing, achieve life goals, and increase independence, self-determinaƟ on, and self-suffi ciency.
The proposed service plan is criƟ cal to prevenƟ ng homelessness, stabilizing residents in place, and breaking the cycle of long-term poverty for generaƟ ons to come. These services, substanƟ ated by the MacArthur and Goldshirsh FoundaƟ ons, improve youth academic performance and aƩ ainment; increase family self-suffi ciency; diminish family health challenges; reduce psychological stress; improve parenƟ ng skills; reduce substance abuse; and generate signifi cant cost savings to public systems by decreasing use of homeless shelters, hospitals, emergency rooms, and prisons.

Provider Roles
Abode CommuniƟ es will provide Beyond Homes to the enƟ re resident populaƟ on, while St. Joseph Center will provide supporƟ ve services solely to the 60 households reserved for chronically homeless and homeless individuals and families.
Abode CommuniƟ es
Abode CommuniƟ es’ on-site resident services program, Beyond Homes, is a widely successful social service program currently operates at 23 locaƟ ons serving more than 5,300 people throughout Los Angeles County. Beyond Homes was created to help residents remain in their housing as they work to achieve economic stability.
Abode CommuniƟ es’ Vice President of Resident Services oversees service program implementaƟ on during predevelopment to conceptualize the potenƟ al services that may be required at each property, develop service plans, develop relaƟ onships with partner service agencies to provide on- and off -site services, and assist with the idenƟfi caƟ on of service funding, if required.

Philosophy & Approach to Community Engagement
Abode CommuniƟ es’ approach to community outreach seeks to idenƟ fy and engage community members and key stakeholders to inform the development concept, build community support for a successful enƟ tlements process, and ensure the project becomes an asset for its residents and an amenity for the surrounding community. The development team will foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and appreciaƟ on to encourage the Santa Monica community and future residents to share ideas and concerns to create a successful, collaboraƟ ve planning and design process that generates a responsive and balanced program.
Abode CommuniƟ es’ development team brings a wealth of experience in conducƟ ng meaningful and successful engagement process for all of its projects, oŌ en in collaboraƟ on with public partners. For its La Veranda and Chavez
FickeƩ projects, Abode CommuniƟ es is partnering
with LA Metro to engage the neighborhood in
conceptual planning. The outreach process has
resulted in deepened aff ordability, a refi ned
commercial tenant mix, and expanded space
for community-based organizaƟ ons. In the case
of Rolland CurƟ s Gardens, Abode CommuniƟ es
conducted a six-month parƟ cipatory planning
process, which engaged 550 households, faithbased organizaƟ ons, community organizaƟ ons, and adjacent business owners. The result: unanimous
land use approval from the City of Los Angeles Planning Commission for a project that nearly tripled the site’s housing density and reduced its parking raƟ o to 0.8:1. Individual Abode CommuniƟ es team members assigned to The Terraces at Fourth Street also bring specifi c outreach experience on several development projects within the City of Santa Monica.
IdenƟ fying Stakeholders
Abode CommuniƟ es will begin the community outreach eff ort by working with City of Santa Monica staff to establish an inclusive list of stakeholders from the local community.
These parƟ cipants will each have a disƟ nct and important perspecƟ ve to contribute to the development plan. Stakeholders include and are not limited to:
• Businesses, residents, and property owners within at least 1/4-mile of the site; • Homeless and social service providers, including supporƟ ve service partner St. Joseph Center and their local partners, as well as Santa Monica Cradle to Career; • Neighborhood associaƟ ons including the Downtown Neighborhood AssociaƟ on, Santa Monica Mid City Neighbors, Wilshire Montana Neighborhood CoaliƟ on, and Pico Neighborhood AssociaƟ on;
• Local houses of worship and interfaith organizaƟ ons, such as St. Monica Catholic Community;
• Community and civic organizaƟ ons, including Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce, Santa Monica Forward, Santa Monicans for Renter’s Rights, and Santa Monica Spoke;

Communities
The Terraces at Fourth 4 - Community Involvement Plan (cont’d) • Arts and culture stakeholders, including Santa Monica Cultural Aff airs and the Arts Commission, Santa Monica Arts FoundaƟ on, Building Bridges, and other nonprofi t arts organizaƟ ons; and
• City, County, and State elected representaƟ ves for the area.
Abode CommuniƟ es will specifi cally seek to engage the future resident populaƟ on by collaboraƟ ng with service organizaƟ ons and other service partners to build relaƟ onships with the organizaƟ ons themselves and the clients they serve. Outreach to these stakeholders will be parƟ cularly important to refi ne the unit mix and aff ordability targets, as well as determine the resident services program and ameniƟ es to meet resident needs.
Abode CommuniƟ es will design its community engagement plan in a way that supports parƟ cipaƟ on by end users, including separate focus group discussions for these parƟ cular populaƟ ons. Abode CommuniƟ es will design these meeƟ ngs to create an environment of trust and clarity around their purpose so as ensure fruiƞ ul discussions.
Methodology and Timeline
Abode CommuniƟ es will employ a variety of
methods to engage stakeholders and community
members in conversaƟ on, including small and large
group meeƟ ngs, pop-up events, and technology as
a means to provide alternaƟ ve ways for to interact
with the development team and stay informed.
Outreach eff orts will be conducted at various Ɵ mes
and locaƟ ons, including weekends and evenings
to allow for maximum parƟ cipaƟ on. Abode
CommuniƟ es will work closely with City to fi nalize
a plan that defi nes the specifi c type, quanƟ ty, and Ɵ ming of these outreach eff orts.
Based on Abode CommuniƟ es’ extensive experience of successful community outreach processes, at minimum the plan would include the following:
Aff ordable Housing 101 Workshop – this workshop is an opportunity to educate the community about the development, describe the fi nancing and operaƟ on of aff ordable housing and who qualifi es, and to highlight the benefi ts to the community at-large. The workshop also provides an opportunity to discuss development parameters required to make aff ordable housing feasible and respond openly to requests for project components that may not fi t within those parameters.
One-on-Ones – these are a series of one-on-one meeƟ ngs with key stakeholders idenƟfi ed above; these meeƟ ngs are meant to be an exchange of ideas where the development and design team will share the vision for the site and directly engage stakeholders to address their prioriƟ es and concerns.
Focus Groups – Abode CommuniƟ es will hold at least four (4) small group meeƟ ngs with a cross secƟ on of stakeholders. Each meeƟ ng will take on a diff erent area of focus and is meant to be a “deep dive” into that subject. The actual focus group topics will be informed by the one-on-one meeƟ ngs and are likely to delve into subjects such as proposed ground fl oor uses, project design, and public art program.

HosƟ ng pop-ups at the project site allows stakeholders to beƩ er envision how the project will fi t into the larger fabric of the surrounding community as well.
Project Workshop – this open-house style workshop is the culminaƟ on of all of the outreach eff orts and will include a handful of tables staff ed by Abode CommuniƟ es’ development team experts. At minimum, there is a booth dedicated to each of the following: Project Design Concept; Green Features; Ground Floor Program; Resident and SupporƟ ve Services; Public Art; and Property Management.
In order to create a project that refl ects the neighborhood’s needs and expectaƟ ons, Abode CommuniƟ es will explore several key topics with local stakeholders and community members, including and not limited to:
• Design features that create visual appeal and
aestheƟ c connecƟ vity to the surrounding
Downtown Santa Monica streetscape, are
responsive the Downtown Community Plan,
and enhance the pedestrian experience;
• Unmet local needs that potenƟ ally could
be fi lled by the ground fl oor commercial
program;
• Community uses desired by those who live
and work in the surrounding neighborhood;
• Design features to provide a safe and
welcoming environment for residents and the
community at-large; and
• Design of a public art program to be
incorporated throughout the development.
Open communicaƟ on and maintaining transparency to keep the community informed throughout the process are criƟ cal to ensuring meaningful engagement and building trust. Abode CommuniƟ es will collaborate with the City to determine the best methods for maintaining open and conƟ nuous communicaƟ on, which may include meeƟ ng noƟfi caƟ ons, a project website, emails, printed informaƟ on, and/or maintaining a presence at community events.
Throughout the process, the development team will remain open and responsive to community input, engaging in further conversaƟ on to understand the root cause of concerns, addressing feedback when feasible, and providing respecƞ ul responses when it is not feasible to incorporate requested project adjustments. All communicaƟ ons will be provided in English and Spanish, with a well-qualifi ed and experienced interpreter at each meeƟ ng. TranslaƟ on in other languages will be provided as needed.

The Terraces at Fourth
The redevelopment of 1318 4th Street presents a unique opportunity to bring a highquality mixed-use aff ordable housing and commercial development to Downtown Santa Monica. With this in mind, Abode CommuniƟ es has taken a strategic approach to fi nancing The Terraces at Fourth, seeking to leverage the value of the City’s property into a public benefi t project that will provide equitable housing, community-scale retail, and fl exible creaƟ ve workshop space.
The total projected development cost of The Terraces at Fourth is approximately $79.6 million (including the assumed value of the land). By uƟ lizing a 4% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) and tax-exempt bond structure, matched with tried-and-true capital funding sources commonly found in aff ordable housing developments throughout the region, and the fl exibility aff orded by a ground lease partnership with the City of Santa Monica, Abode CommuniƟ es is proposing an effi cient, viable fi nancing strategy that will meet the City’s stated goals for resident populaƟ on, housing density, and ground fl oor uses. By leveraging Federal, State, and local capital sources, as well as partnering with the City on a belowmarket ground lease, The Terraces will require no addiƟ onal funding from the City of Santa Monica Housing Trust Fund.
Project Development Costs & Capital Structure
Hard and soŌ costs were informed by Abode CommuniƟ es’ extensive experience construcƟ ng mixed-use and service-enhanced aff ordable and supporƟ ve housing projects of a similar scale and complexity throughout the Los Angeles County market, including the recently completed Rolland CurƟ s Gardens (winner of the 2019 SCANPH MulƟ family Project of the year), which features a 6,500 sf Federally Qualifi ed Health Center and 1,500 sf of community-serving retail; and La Veranda and Chavez FickeƩ , two adjacent projects currently in predevelopment totaling 137 units (half of which will be SupporƟ ve Housing) and 33,000 sf commercial retail featuring a neighborhood grocery store and space for local entrepreneurs. Wherever appropriate, actual costs and general contractor bids from other comparable projects were used to determine development budget assumpƟ ons.
AMJ ConstrucƟ on Management, a fi rm with over 70 years of construcƟ on experience, provided a conceptual esƟ mate of hard costs, which assume payment of commercial prevailing wages. In the past four years, AMJ has provided consulƟ ng services on four aff ordable housing projects in various stages of development within the City of Santa Monica and is well versed in construcƟ on cost trends within the local market.
Financing costs and terms are based on Abode CommuniƟ es’ previous experience and confi rmed by the California Housing Partnership, a trusted aff ordable housing fi nancial consultant and advisor that has helped its nonprofi t and government partners leverage over $18 billion for the producƟ on of 70,000 homes over the past 30 years.
The total developer fee included in the project budget is approximately $7.3 million in accordance with the California Tax Credit AllocaƟ on CommiƩ ee (CTCAC) guidelines for projects uƟ lizing 4% LIHTC.
5. Financing Strategy
Abode
Communities
The Terraces at Fourth
Although the actual amount of developer fee payable to Abode CommuniƟ es from project capital would be $1,880,739 due to limitaƟ ons imposed by other applicable funding sources (State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, County of Los Angeles, and City of Santa Monica), the full $7.3 million fi gure is included as part of project basis to generate the maximum amount of LIHTC equity.
The upfront paid developer fee of $1,880,739 is based on the City of Santa Monica Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Guidelines for a project between 31 and 50 units for Fiscal Year 2017-18, although Abode CommuniƟ es understands this fee would be negoƟ able due to the larger project size. Approximately $619,000 in deferred developer fee will be payable from operaƟ ng cash fl ow, in accordance with the Los Angeles County Development Authority funding guidelines, which caps total developer fee at $2.5 million.
For a statement of conceptual construcƟ on- and permanent-period sources and uses for the proposed scope of development, please see Table 5.1 at the end of secƟ on.
For an expanded and annotated development pro-forma, please see Table 5.2 at the end of this secƟ on.
Financing Strategy
The project development budget includes capital sources selected to minimize fi nancing delays and maximize project feasibility and community benefi ts. The fi nancing for the residenƟ al porƟ on of The Terraces is structured with 4% LIHTC equity paired with convenƟ onal debt via tax-exempt bond fi nancing for the construcƟ on and permanent loans, and a combinaƟ on of local and State “soŌ ” fi nancing that includes capital from the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA); two capital funding programs administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), including the Aff ordable Housing and Sustainable CommuniƟ es (AHSC) and Infi ll Infrastructure Grant (IIG) programs; and a grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank Aff ordable Housing Program (AHP).
Although Abode CommuniƟ es has extensive experience developing aff ordable housing uƟ lizing the 9% LIHTC program, the proposal for The Terraces strategically uƟ lizes a 4% LIHTC equity structure due to the material benefi ts it provides, including a less compeƟƟ ve and more fl exible applicaƟ on process, no cap on the amount of tax credits the project can generate, and compaƟ bility with the AHSC program, which provides further benefi t to the City of Santa Monica through a paired grant for Sustainable TransportaƟ on Infrastructure (“STI”) projects. In addiƟ on to a $19.8 million capital loan to fund the aff ordable housing component, AHSC funding for The Terraces adds $6.5 million in the form of a grant to the City or other administering agency for planned sustainable transportaƟ on and mobility infrastructure projects to be idenƟfi ed by Santa Monica stakeholders. > more

Examples of eligible STI projects are:
• Improvements idenƟfi ed in the City’s Pedestrian AcƟ on Plan to help the City achieve its Vision Zero 8 to 80 and Safe Routes to Schools community goals, as well as other pedestrian improvements
• Improvements idenƟfi ed in the City’s Bike AcƟ on Plan, including new, expanded or improved bikeways in areas sƟ ll in need of connecƟ vity • Permanent vanpool access for aff ordable housing residents • Transit stop improvements, including shaded bus stops, accessibility enhancements, pedestrian scale lighƟ ng, and relocaƟ on of transit stops • Bicycle sharing program infrastructure and fl eet addiƟ ons • Enhanced or expanded fl eet for Big Blue Bus service
The Terraces project would be highly compeƟƟ ve for AHSC funding due to certain program applicaƟ on metrics, such as proximity to high quality transit (the Downtown Santa Monica Expo Line StaƟ on), and proposed aff ordability restricƟ ons and housing density. Abode CommuniƟ es has a proven track record securing AHSC program funding, as summarized in SecƟ on 6.d - Funding Source Experience, as well as the other proposed funding sources, and is confi dent in the success of this fi nancing strategy.
The fi nancing sources described above are suffi cient to cover all development costs of the project, both residenƟ al and commercial porƟ ons. As described in SecƟ on 3.
Development and Services Concept, Abode CommuniƟ es anƟ cipates leasing the ground level commercial space to community-scale independent retailers, arƟ sans, and nonprofi t organizaƟ ons. Abode CommuniƟ es’ experience with commercial uses in mixed-use developments with aff ordable housing is that lending partners typically will not allow the associated commercial revenue to be used to underwrite/support proposed mortgage debt unless the space is pre-leased to a naƟ onal credit tenant. At this early conceptual phase, the fi nancing plan for the commercial uses demonstrates feasibility uƟ lizing only the prorated commercial share of the ground lease and LIHTC equity. Should Abode CommuniƟ es’ lending partners ulƟ mately allow commercial revenues from The Terraces at Fourth to be leveraged for a permanent commercial loan, the proposed operaƟ ng assumpƟ ons would support an approximately $2.1 million loan, assuming a fullyamorƟ zed 15-year term, 6% interest and 1.25 debt service coverage.
Pro Forma AssumpƟ ons
For a full 55-year summary of cash-fl ow and associated underwriƟ ng assumpƟ ons, including residenƟ al and commercial income, operaƟ ng expenses, resident service expenses, debt service payments, proposed ground lease payments, and fee payments to the tax credit partnership, please see Table 5.3 at the end of this secƟ on..
ResidenƟ al AssumpƟ ons
The Terraces at Fourth will provide 106 units of aff ordable housing for individuals and families with incomes between 30% and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) and one manager unit. Sixty (60) units will be set-aside for Permanent SupporƟ ve Housing (PSH) for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and with incomes no higher than 30% Area Median Income.

The project underwriƟ ng assumes project-based rental operaƟ ng subsidy for the 60 PSH units provided from the City of Santa Monica’s ConƟ nuum of Care (CoC) voucher allocaƟ on, with rental payment standards determined by the 2020 Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Market Rent calculaƟ on for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale Metro area.
For a summary of the proposed unit mix, AMI levels, and projected gross rents, please see Table 5.4 at the end of this secƟ on.
At stabilized residenƟ al occupancy, The Terraces assumes a residenƟ al operaƟ ng expense of approximately $6,500 per unit per annum (PUPA) (exclusive of resident services, property taxes, and required reserve deposits). The $6,500 PUPA fi gure represents a blended average of higher expenses for the supporƟ ve housing units than the low-income units and includes expenses for administraƟ on, accounƟ ng, uƟ liƟ es, operaƟ ons and maintenance, management fees, and staff expenses for an on-site property manager and maintenance and janitorial staff . The PUPA fi gures are based on Abode CommuniƟ es’ Property Management experience underwriƟ ng and operaƟ ng properƟ es with similar profi les.
The project underwriƟ ng of the residenƟ al permanent loan assumes a 1.15 debt service coverage raƟ o and annual debt service payment of $534,749.
Commercial AssumpƟ ons
In an eff ort to achieve the vision for The Terraces at Fourth as a desƟ naƟ on for arts and cultural connecƟ ons anchored by local-serving, unique retail off erings, lease income is projected at rates well below averages for the Downtown market. The commercial operaƟ ng cash fl ow assumes triple net (NNN) lease charges for the bookstore, café, and bouƟ que retail, including common area maintenance and real estate taxes charged on a pro-rata share to each commercial occupant, and a full service gross (FSG) lease for the nonprofi t workshop.
No lease income expense reimbursement is assumed for the pop-up market space located within the atrium. Abode CommuniƟ es has engaged with real estate brokers at Cushman & Wakefi eld to confi rm below-market lease rate assumpƟ ons and the anƟ cipated commercial needs and characterisƟ cs of the area. Cushman & Wakefi eld has demonstrated recent success in represenƟ ng both tenants and developers in Downtown Santa Monica along 4th Street and the 3rd Street Promenade, as well as signifi cant experience markeƟ ng and leasing high-profi le mixed-use developments throughout the Los Angeles County market.
For a summary of the proposed commercial uses and lease rates, please see Table 5.5 at the end of this secƟ on. At stabilized commercial occupancy, The Terraces at Fourth assumes a commercial operaƟ ng expense of approximately $1.10 per square foot per month.
UnderwriƟ ng Terms
ConstrucƟ on fi nancing assumes a 4.82% interest rate and standard lender transacƟ on costs and bond-related expenses (assuming an issuance by the California Housing Financing Agency). The residenƟ al permanent loan uƟ lizes a 5.27% interest rate, 35-year term amorƟ zaƟ on and a 1.15 debt service coverage raƟ o.

The Terraces at Fourth
The fi nancing plan assumes tax credit equity pricing of $0.98 per dollar of LIHTC allocated, and a credit rate of 3.17%. Despite the downward trend in current tax credit market post tax reform, Abode CommuniƟ es conƟ nues to command top LIHTC pricing. In June 2018, the Westmont Vista project received a $1,354,063 Federal Tax Credit Award for 39 aff ordable homes for families and TransiƟ on Age Youth in Los Angeles, resulƟ ng in a $13.7 million equity investment from Wells Fargo at a price of $1.015 per credit. Because the market remains volaƟ le, Abode CommuniƟ es conservaƟ vely underwrites each of its projects at $0.95 to $0.98 per credit. The organizaƟ on’s ability to hold this high pricing with its investor partners highlights the strength of its long-term relaƟ onship with key investors.
Local Funding and Ground Lease Terms
As currently proposed, no capital funding from the City of Santa Monica Housing Trust Fund will be required to fi nance The Terraces at Fourth.
The fi nancing plan includes a 65-year below-market ground lease with the City of Santa Monica. The land provides ample addiƟ onal subsidy to the project given the high cost of land in the Santa Monica market area and Abode CommuniƟ es recognizes this rare opportunity to leverage a valuable City-owned asset for the producƟ on of aff ordable housing and below-market commercial retail opportuniƟ es.
Abode CommuniƟ es has assumed a ground lease value of $12.45 million ($415 per square foot), based upon comparable land transacƟ ons in the market area. The proposed ground lease would be structured as a note accruing 3% simple interest annually. The ground lease note contemplates payments to the City of Santa Monica in three Ɵ ers:
1. Annual above-the-line guaranteed payments of $15,000
2. Annual below-the-line payments from residual cash fl ow with the City receiving 15% of residenƟ al residual receipts aŌ er payment of Deferred Developer Fee and Partnership and Asset Management Fees. The total projected value of residenƟ al residuals over the 65-year ground lease term is approximately $5.1 million.
3. Annual below-the-line payments from commercial cash fl ow with the City receiving 25% of commercial net cash fl ow. The total projected value of commercial net cash fl ow over the term of the ground lease is approximately $13 million.
Abode CommuniƟ es has successfully negoƟ ated and executed ground leases with the County of Los Angeles, LA County Metropolitan TransportaƟ on Authority, and Los Angeles Unifi ed School District for the long-term ownership and operaƟ on of mulƟ family and mixeduse communiƟ es. Abode CommuniƟ es looks forward to further discussing the terms and condiƟ ons of a ground lease arrangement with the City of Santa Monica.
City ObligaƟ ons & Financial ConƟ ngencies
In addiƟ on to the ground lease terms proposed above, Abode CommuniƟ es also requests the City of Santa Monica consider the following fi nancial obligaƟ on and conƟ ngency to help ensure the success of the project.

The Terraces at Fourth
The Terraces exceeds the City of Santa Monica’s stated goal for the inclusion of permanent supporƟ ve housing by providing 60 units set aside for individuals and families transiƟ oning from of homelessness. To operate an aff ordable housing development at a standard of service that ensures the well-being of its supporƟ ve housing residents and the successful integraƟ on of the property into the surrounding neighborhood, The Terraces will depend on a guaranteed source of rental operaƟ ng subsidy.
The project underwriƟ ng assumes an allocaƟ on of project-based ConƟ nuum of Care (“CoC”) vouchers commiƩ ed for an iniƟ al contract term of 15 years and renewed regularly upon expiraƟ on. Commitment of CoC subsidy will be required early in the funding Ɵ meline to ensure compeƟƟ veness for subsequent capital funding applicaƟ ons such as LACDA and AHSC. If CoC vouchers are unavailable, Abode CommuniƟ es would work with the City to idenƟ fy an alternate source of operaƟ ng subsidy such as Project-Based SecƟ on 8 or the DHS Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool.
Financing Timeline
Abode CommuniƟ es esƟ mates securing the necessary project funding in approximately 20 months, from fi rst funding applicaƟ on to close of construcƟ on fi nancing. The fi nancing Ɵ meline is carefully calibrated to align with the project design and enƟ tlement schedules, with criƟ cal milestones for both informing the Ɵ ming to apply for and secure certain funding commitments (such as LACDA and AHSC project capital). For a detailed graphical representaƟ on of the fi nancing Ɵ meline, please see SecƟ on 3.d - Development Schedule.
Resident Services Budget and Sources
Resident services at The Terraces will be provided on-site, at-will, and free of cost to all 106 of the restricted aff ordable units, with addiƟ onal targeted, specialized supporƟ ve services for the 60 units set aside for individuals and families transiƟ oning from homelessness.
Abode CommuniƟ es will provide its well-established Beyond Homes Services program, which delivers fl exible programming adjustable to each resident’s need. Case management and supporƟ ve services for the development’s higher acuity residents will be provided via a partnership with St. Joseph Center.

6.d - Funding Sources Experience
Low Income Housing Tax Credits
Abode CommuniƟ es has been rooted in community development throughout Southern California for more than 50 years and has invested more than $658 million in economic acƟ vity throughout Los Angeles County. The organizaƟ on has successfully developed more than 47 aff ordable and supporƟ ve housing developments with nearly 3,000 high-quality rental homes that have improved the livelihoods of some 10,000 extremely low, very lowand low-income residents.
The organizaƟ on was the fi rst in the County of Los Angeles to procure funding from the LIHTC program more than 30 years ago. Today, the tradiƟ on conƟ nues with the majority of Abode CommuniƟ es’ housing developments having been funded through the LIHTC program. In the last 10 years, Abode CommuniƟ es has successfully secured more than $200 million in LIHTC, and in the previous two years alone, the organizaƟ on has closed on both 4% and 9% LIHTC transacƟ ons with Wells Fargo, who provided $1.16 per credit resulƟ ng in nearly $37.0 million in equity investment for 140 aff ordable homes in South Los Angeles.
Despite the downward trend in current tax credit market post tax reform, Abode CommuniƟ es conƟ nues to command top LIHTC pricing. In June 2018, the organizaƟ on’s Westmont Vista project received a $1,354,063 Federal Tax Credit Award for 39 supporƟ ve homes for families and TransiƟ on Age Youth in Los Angeles, resulƟ ng in a $13.7 million equity investment at a price of $1.015 per credit. As the market remains volaƟ le, Abode CommuniƟ es conservaƟ vely underwrites each of its projects at $0.95 to $0.98 per credit.
The organizaƟ on’s ability to hold this high pricing with its investor partners highlights the strength of its long-term relaƟ onship with key investors.

The organizaƟ on has secured bond allocaƟ ons for projects in a wide range of jurisdicƟ ons throughout Los Angeles County, such as Long Beach, Pasadena, Bell Gardens, City of Los Angeles, and Unincorporated County of Los Angeles.

Given Abode CommuniƟ es’ experience in securing mulƟ ple sources of funding from the State’s Department of Housing & Community Development, the organizaƟ on is confi dent in its ability to deliver this for The Terraces at Fourth.
Federal Home Loan Bank Aff ordable Housing Program (AHP) Abode CommuniƟ es’ relaƟ onship with FHLBSF dates back to 1997 and since that Ɵ me, the organizaƟ on has secured some $6.1 million in Aff ordable Housing Program funds.

Casa Dominguez
Mixing Uses for Community-Wide Benefit in
East Rancho Dominguez
> over
Located in both Unincorporated Los Angeles County and the City of Compton, Abode Communities developed this former brownfield site in response to a competitive Request for Proposal awarded by the Community Development Commission of
the County of Los Angeles (LACDC). Working in collaboration with LACDC and neighboring residents, it was determined the community needed affordable housing, as well as health and childcare services. To that end, Casa Dominguez was born and offers low-income families and Transition-Aged Youth long-term affordability via a 99-year ground lease from LACDC.
Casa Dominguez is the first affordable multifamily residential development in the County of Los Angeles to provide permanent supportive housing for Transition Age Youth and the first to achieve a LEED® for Homes Platinum rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Sustainable innovations include the use of a ground source heat pump and gray water system that retains, filters and reuses discharged water from the development’s on-site laundry facility to water the property’s drought-tolerant landscaping - both firsts within the County of Los Angeles.

2 Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors
Abode Communities
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Abode Communities, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of activities, changes in net assets, functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain Operating Entities included in the consolidated financial statements in which Abode Communities owns an interest. The assets, liabilities, net assets and net loss of such entities are stated at $242,608,300, $208,930,849, $33,677,451 and $10,143,793, respectively, for 2018. The assets, liabilities, net assets and net loss of such entities are stated at $252,756,803, $226,400,301, $26,356,502 and $8,693,895, respectively, for 2017. The financial statements of those Operating Entities were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those Operating Entities, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
3 Opinion
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Abode Communities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Report on Supplementary Information
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information on pages 42 to 57 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Abode Communities is organized for the purpose of acquisition, design, development and operation of affordable housing projects. Abode Communities assists in revitalizing communities through acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing, development of new housing and the long-term ownership and management of its rental properties. Abode Communities owns affordable housing properties, provides property management and social programs to enhance the quality of life of its residents, and serves as general partner for affordable housing projects. Abode Communities' principal sources of revenue are rental income from tenants, grants, development fees, and fees for property management, consulting, architectural and project management services.
Abode Communities receives significant funding from federal, state and local government subsidies in various forms, including low-income housing tax credits, low-interest rate loans, grants, and rent subsidies for qualifying very-low, low- and moderate-income tenants.
Principles of consolidation
In the accompanying consolidating financial statements, Abode Communities includes the accounts of that entity. Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations includes the accounts of ACH, FCLC and L'Canon.
In the accompanying consolidating financial statements, Development Entities includes the accounts of entities which are in the predevelopment or construction phase, and Operating Entities includes the accounts of entities which are in operations.

Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP, which require Abode Communities to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to the following net asset classifications:
Net assets without donor restrictions
Net assets without donor restrictions consist of all resources of Abode Communities that have not been specifically restricted by a donor.
Net assets with donor restrictions
Net assets with donor restrictions consist of cash received or other assets with donor stipulations that limit their use.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
15 Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and the disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates of future operations were made by management in the calculation of the amount of development fee revenue recognized under GAAP.
Fair value
The carrying amount of Abode Communities' cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of Abode Communities' notes receivable and notes payable is assessed by management based on analysis of underlying investments and historical trends. Impairment reserves are provided as necessary.
Cash and cash equivalents
Abode Communities considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted reserves and deposits
Restricted reserves and deposits primarily consist of operating and replacement reserves and property tax and insurance escrows. Such reserves are required by various financing authorities, lenders or stipulations in the applicable partnership or operating agreements.
Accounts receivable and bad debts
Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Management's estimate of the allowance is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts is $162,969 and $105,815, respectively. Bad debt expense during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $149,017 and $146,705, respectively, and is included in expenses on the consolidated statements of activities.
Notes receivable
Notes receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Management's estimate of the allowance is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of notes receivable. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts. All related party notes receivable have been eliminated in consolidation.
Due from affiliates
The advances due from affiliates are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Management's estimate of the allowance is based on expected future operating performance and other factors. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Partnership investments
Partnership investments include the equity interest of Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations in certain tax credit partnerships which are not controlled by Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations. Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations account for their investments in such limited partnerships ("Investees") in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under which the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted for Abode Communities' Abode Communities
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
16 and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations' share of the Investees' results of operations and by cash distributions received. Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations regularly assess the carrying value of their investments in limited partnerships. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated value derived by management, Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations would reduce their investments by the amount by which the carrying amounts exceed the assessed value. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations did not make any such adjustments. The Investees are variable interest entities whose activities are consolidated with the business activities of their controlling owners.
Project development costs
Abode Communities incurs costs in connection with properties it is considering for development as well as costs associated with projects in the initial stages of development. These costs include such items as market studies, purchase options, environmental study costs, legal and accounting costs.
Project development costs are capitalized until such time as the project is no longer considered desirable or feasible, at which time the costs are expensed. Project development costs related to projects that are ultimately developed are subsequently recorded as receivables to be repaid by the applicable projects. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, $38,398 and $102,315, respectively, of project development costs were expensed and included in real estate development on the consolidated statements of activities.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Costs of properties constructed or rehabilitated include all direct costs of construction, as well as carrying costs during the construction period and indirect costs of construction, supervision and management. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statement of activities. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.
It is Abode Communities' policy to capitalize expenditures for improvements, furniture, and fixtures and equipment exceeding $2,500.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Abode Communities reviews its property and equipment and investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When recovery is reviewed, if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the property are less than its carrying amount, management compares the carrying amount of the property to its fair value in order to determine whether an impairment loss has occurred. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value. No impairment losses have been recognized during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Deferred fees
Costs related to obtaining low-income housing tax credits are being amortized using the straightline method over the mandatory 15-year compliance period.
Costs related to obtaining leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized on the straightline method over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the related lease term.

18 Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, are reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the mortgage loan payable to which such costs relate. Amortization of debt issuance costs is reported as a component of interest expense and is computed using an imputed interest rate on the related loan.
Derivative instruments
Evergreen Apartments, L.P. ("Evergreen"), Laurel Village, L.P. ("Laurel Village"), and Selma have entered into interest rate swap agreements, which are carried on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are estimated and recorded through the consolidated statements of activities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps have been calculated utilizing a third-party methodology that management believes is commonly employed (see Note 13).
Fair value measurement
The accounting standard for fair value measurement and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined by the accounting standard for fair value measurement and disclosures as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs and hierarchy of fair value Evergreen, Laurel Village and Selma use when measuring fair value:
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Evergreen, Laurel Village and Selma have the ability to access; Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity's own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety (see Note 13 for additional disclosures).
Noncontrolling interest in limited partnerships and limited liability companies The noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of financial position represents the aggregate balance of limited partner or investor member equity interest in the affiliate limited partnerships or limited liability companies that are included in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Rental income is recognized as rents become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Operating Entities and the tenants of the projects are operating leases.
Abode Communities
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
19 Portions of the rental income are in the form of subsidy payments from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") under Section 8 of the National Housing Act and Project Rental Assistance Contracts. Tenants are subsidized based upon their level of income. Rent increases require HUD approval.
Development fees are earned in connection with the construction and oversight of the development of properties. The total development fees anticipated to be paid from capital sources are recognized as revenue commencing with the closing of a project's construction loan (the "Closing") based on the percentage of completion method. The total development fee anticipated to be paid from future cash flow of the property (“deferred development fee”) is recorded as an asset with a corresponding offset to deferred revenue. The deferred development fee is recognized when paid and is eliminated in consolidation.
Abode Communities earns architect fees for services provided to third parties, affiliated limited partnerships and wholly owned properties. Such fees are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the contracts. The fees are capitalized into the basis of rental property by the affiliated limited partnerships and the profit earned, if any, is eliminated in the consolidation.
Laundry and cable income received in advance are deferred until earned.
Property management fee income is earned monthly based on the management agreement. Fees earned for consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation.
Resident services fee income is earned monthly based on the resident services agreement. Fees earned for consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation.
Partnership management fee income is earned annually based on the partnership agreements.
Fees earned are eliminated in the consolidation.
Private donations
Contributions are recognized as revenue when an unconditional promise, in substance, to give is received by Abode Communities. All contributions and other types of revenue with restrictions imposed by the donor, if any, are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets are released and reclassified to net assets without donor restriction.
When a donation is received and the restriction is met in the same period, the contribution is classified as net assets without donor restriction.
Grants
Abode Communities receives conditional grants from federal agencies and private grantors for various purposes. Conditional grant awards not yet received are accrued to the extent unreimbursed expenses have been incurred for the purposes specified by an approved conditional grant. Abode Communities records refundable advances for revenues received under approved awards from grantors for the purposes specified under the grant restrictions. Cash received for grants in excess of costs incurred is reflected as net assets with donor restriction. Costs incurred in excess of cash received are reflected as grants receivable.
Functional allocation of expenses
The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statements of functional expenses. Directly identifiable expenses are charged to program and supporting services. Expenses related to more than one function are charged to program and supporting services based on systematic methods.

20 Income taxes
Each of Abode Communities, ACH, FCLC, L'Canon Club Apartments and Rolland Curtis Commercial QALICB, Inc. have applied for and received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to be treated as a tax-exempt entity pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and did not have any unrelated business income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Due to their tax-exempt status, these entities are not subject to income taxes. These entities are required to file tax returns with the IRS and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and these entities have no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.
The Development and Operating Entities are pass-through entities for income tax purposes and, are not subject to income taxes. All items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by their owners on their respective income tax returns. The Development and Operating Entities' federal tax status as pass-through entities is based on their legal status as a partnership. The Development and Operating Entities are required to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Development and Operating Entities have no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. Income tax returns filed by the Development and Operating Entities are subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years since 2015 remain open.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Syndication costs
Syndication costs are recorded as a direct reduction to noncontrolling interest when incurred.
Change in accounting principle
On August 18, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958) - Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities. The update addresses the complexity and understandability of net asset classification, deficiencies in information about liquidity and availability of resources, and the lack of consistency in the type of information provided about expenses and investment return. Abode Communities has adjusted the presentation of these statements accordingly. The ASU has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
Note 3 - Restricted reserves and deposits
In accordance with the terms of loan agreements, regulatory agreements and partnership agreements, deposits are made into replacement reserve accounts, operating reserve accounts, tax and insurance escrow accounts and other accounts as required by the applicable agreements.
Withdrawals from these accounts may require approval from designated parties.

December 31, 2018 and 2017
33 The Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department ("HCID") loaned Abode Communities $1,886,852 at 5% per annum for the purpose of developing affordable housing. HCID allowed Abode Communities to subsequently assign the real property and its rights and obligations under the loan agreement to Parthenia Housing Associates, L.P., in which Abode Communities participates as the General Partner. Because the funds were part of a government grant that required the loan to remain with Abode Communities, the security interest for the HCID loan is cross collateralized against real property assigned to the limited partnership.
Concurrent with the execution of the loan, Abode Communities received a $1,886,852 promissory note from the limited partnership, the terms of which are identical to the loan payable to HCID.
Proceeds due under the note receivable will be used to offset the identical payments due under the note payable. As such, Abode Communities has not reflected the note, interest income and interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.
Financial instruments
Evergreen entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the "swap agreement") with Union Bank (the "swap provider") to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. Under the terms of the swap agreement, Evergreen has agreed to pay interest to the swap provider at a fixed rate of 4.19%, exclusive of any fees, add-ons or other trustee or bank charges, while the swap provider has agreed to make Evergreen's required monthly mortgage payment. The notional amount of the swap agreement is equal to the outstanding amount of the bonds. The swap agreement expires upon payment in full of the mortgage.
Laurel Village entered into two interest rate swap agreements (the "swap agreements") with Union Bank (the "swap provider") to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. Under the terms of the swap agreements, Laurel Village has agreed to pay interest to the swap provider at fixed rates of
4.90% and 4.98%, exclusive of any fees, add-ons or other trustee or bank charges, while the swap provider has agreed to make Laurel Village's required monthly mortgage payments. The notional amounts of the swap agreements are equal to the outstanding amount of the loans. The swap agreements expire upon payment in full of the respective notes.
Selma entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the "swap agreement") with Union Bank (the "swap provider") to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. The swap agreement became effective April 1, 2017. Under the terms of the swap agreement, Selma has agreed to pay interest to the swap provider at a fixed rate of 5.56% exclusive of any fees, add-ons or other trustee or bank charges, while the swap provider has agreed to make Selma's required monthly mortgage payment.
The notional amount of the swap agreement is equal to the outstanding amount of the loan. The swap agreement expires upon payment in full of the note.
Derivative instruments not meeting the criteria for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position with any change in fair value reflected in the consolidated statement of activities.
A liability for the fair market value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 in the amounts of $992,092 and $1,406,489, respectively, have been recorded, which represents the fair value of the future differences in interest to be paid and received under the swap agreements over the remaining term of the swap agreements, and is included in fair market value of interest rate swap on the consolidated statements of financial position. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, a gain on fair value of $414,396 and $195,712, respectively, has been recognized and is included in revenue on the consolidated statements of activities.

34 Note 13 - Fair value
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the liability which represents the fair value of the interest rate swaps in the amounts of $992,092 and $1,406,489, respectively, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. No other assets or liabilities are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The following table presents the financial liability that was measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Interest rate swaps at
December 31, 2018 $ - $ 992,092 $ - $ 992,092
Interest rate swaps at
December 31, 2017 $ - $ 1,406,489 $ - $ 1,406,489
On a recurring basis, the Partnerships measure the interest rate swaps at the estimated fair value.
In determining the fair value of the interest rate swap derivatives, management uses the present value of expected cash flows based on the market observable interest rate yield curve commensurate with the term of the instrument. The Partnerships incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both the Partnerships’ nonperformance risk and that of the respective counterparty in the fair value measurement. The credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by either the respective counterparty or the Partnerships. However, management has determined that as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the impact of the credit valuation adjustments was not significant to the overall valuation of the swaps. As a result, the fair value of the swaps are considered to be based primarily on Level 2 inputs.
Note 14 - Grants payable
Grants payable consists of the following as of December 31:
2018 2017
TCAC grants payable 6,876,285 $ 7,083,498 $
CDC grant payable 225,000 231,250
$ 7,314,748 7,101,285 $
TCAC grants payable represent funds received by Operating Entities from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee ("TCAC") through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Section 1602 award program in the form of non-interest bearing forgivable loans. The loans are secured by deeds of trust and assignments of rents on the underlying real property interests, and repayment is required only in the event the Operating Entities do not operate the housing projects in compliance with regulatory and program requirements during their 15-year compliance periods. The TCAC grants are being recognized as grant revenue over the 40-year estimated useful life of the buildings and improvements. TCAC grant revenue recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $207,213.

Note 20 - Guaranties
In its role as general partner of the various Operating Entities, Abode Communities is liable for recourse liabilities. These projects have been allocated low-income housing tax credits pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 42. In connection with their general partnership interests, certain guarantees have been made to the partnerships, including the following:
Development deficit and repurchase guarantees
Abode Communities is obligated to pay any development cost deficits or, at the option of the investor limited partner, to purchase the interest of the investor limited partner if the project is not completed or if permanent financing has not been obtained by specific dates. This obligation typically terminates upon funding of permanent project financing. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, no amounts were due under this guaranty.
Construction loan repayment and completion guarantees
Abode Communities has provided repayment guarantees for construction loans as well as unlimited construction completion guarantees in favor of certain lenders for the development and lease-up of the project, should the project not receive expected permanent financing, or should the cost of the development exceed permanent financing received. There are no significant delays or cost overruns in current development projects. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, no amounts were due under this guaranty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
38 Operating deficit guaranty
Abode Communities and ACH are each obligated to make non-interest bearing loans to cover operating cash shortfalls which are repayable through available cash flow. The guarantees are for various lengths of time, as defined in the limited partnership agreements. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Abode Communities has one outstanding advance of $252,451 made under this guaranty, which is reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $252,451 on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. The following are the projects that are under the operating deficit guaranty and the maximum amount of the guaranty:

New Park Place, L.P. 318,791
Viviendas Del Valle, L.P. 552,551
Sun Sage Homes, L.P. 380,000
Recapture guaranty
In the event of a recapture of tax credits previously received by the investor limited partners/members, Abode Communities and ACH shall be obligated to reimburse the investor limited partner or investment member for any recaptured credits plus any associated penalties, interest or additional taxes due. Abode Communities and ACH shall not be liable for a recapture event caused by a change in law or actions of the investor or special limited partner. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, no amounts were due under these guaranties.
Note 21 - Concentration of credit risk
Abode Communities maintains cash with various financial institutions. All reserves are held in Abode Communities' name. At times, these balances may exceed the federal insurance limits; however, Abode Communities has not experienced any losses with respect to its bank balances in excess of government provided insurance. Management believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances at December 31, 2018.
Note 22 - Commitments and contingencies
Grant and property use restrictions
The properties owned and operated by Abode Communities are typically developed using monies provided by grants and restrictive, low-interest rate loans. The terms of these loans restrict the use of the property and generally require it be rented to low-income qualified tenants for the period of the grant or related loan term. Abode Communities also receives grants with restrictions other than Abode Communities
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
39 property use. Failure to comply with the terms of the grant or the loans would result in a requirement to repay a portion or all of the proceeds received.
Rental assistance contracts
Ten of the properties owned by Abode Communities have entered into rental assistance contracts with HUD or a local housing authority. The contracts have various terms and require the affiliate projects to operate as a low-income housing property and to obtain approval of all rent increases from HUD or the local housing authority.
Low-income housing tax credits
In connection with the Operating Entities who receive low-income housing tax credits, each Operating Entity's low-income housing tax credits are contingent on its ability to maintain compliance with applicable sections of Section 42. Failure to maintain compliance with occupant eligibility and/or unit gross rent, or to correct noncompliance within a specified time period, could result in recapture of previously taken tax credits plus interest. In addition, such potential noncompliance may require an adjustment to the contributed capital by the limited partner.
Forgivable interest
Certain Operating Entities have entered into loans which contain terms that limit the amount of accrued but unpaid interest that may be payable. Generally, accrued but unpaid interest as of the time the loan is due shall be payable only to the extent the fair market value of the Project exceeds the principal balance of the loan plus the principal balance of any loans senior to the loan.
Due to this contingency, interest has not been accrued because the future fair market value of the property at loan maturity is not expected to be sufficient. The following is a schedule of contingent interest as of December 31 that could be due if the fair market value of the property is sufficient:
2018 2017

Litigation
Abode Communities is subject to lawsuits and claims which arise out of the normal course of its activities. In the opinion of management, based upon the opinions of legal counsel, the disposition of any and all such actions of which it is aware will not have a material effect on the financial position of Abode Communities.
Morgan Place, L.P., Sherman Way Community Housing, L.P. and Hart Village, L.P., along with 60 other housing property owners with Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles ("CRA") funding, were listed as nominal defendants in the lawsuit brought against the City of Los Angeles and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles by the Plaintiffs:
Independent Living Center of Southern California, Fair Housing Council of San Fernando Valley and Communities Actively Living Independent and Free.
Abode Communities
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
40 The complaint alleges that CRA engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination by failing to ensure apartment complexes that were funded with CRA funds were accessible to people with disabilities. Management does not anticipate any material monetary cost, physical corrections or mitigations.
Economic concentrations
Abode Communities owns, operates and invests in rental property in Southern California, whose future operations could be affected by changes in economic or other conditions in that geographical area or by changes in federal low-income housing subsidies or the demand for such housing.
Note 23 - Subsequent events
Events that occur after the statement of financial position date but before the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the statement of financial position date are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the statement of financial position date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated all activity of Abode Communities through June 25, 2019, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements except as noted below:
In April 2019, Abode Community Housing sold the scattered site multifamily rental project known as the DCDC portfolio. The sales price was approximately $11,551,500, and net proceeds to Abode Communities and Affiliates were approximately $2,925,000.
In May 2019, Abode Communities obtained predevelopment loans totaling $5,000,000 from three lenders under an intercreditor agreement. Interest is payable quarterly at rates ranging from 2% - 3.95%. The loans mature in May 2024.

2 Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors
Abode Communities
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Abode Communities, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of activities, changes in net assets, functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain Operating Entities included in the consolidated financial statements in which Abode Communities owns an interest. The assets, liabilities, net assets and net loss of such entities are stated at $252,756,803, $226,400,301, $26,356,502 and $8,693,895, respectively, for 2017. The assets, liabilities, net assets and net loss of such entities are stated at $232,370,602, $216,301,882, $16,068,720 and $6,621,150, respectively, for 2016. The financial statements of those Operating Entities were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those Operating Entities, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
3 Opinion
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Abode Communities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Report on Supplementary Information
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information on pages 43 to 59 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
12 Note 1 - Organization and nature of operations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Abode Communities, a California nonprofit corporation ("Abode Communities") and its affiliates ("Affiliates"), which include the following:
Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations:
- Abode Community Housing, a California nonprofit corporation ("ACH") - Figueroa Corridor Land Company, a California nonprofit corporation ("FCLC") - L'Canon Club Apartments Corporation ("L'Canon")
Development Entities, as listed on page 13
Operating Entities, as listed on pages 14 - 15
Collectively, Abode Communities and its Affiliates shall be referred to as "Abode Communities”.
Abode Communities is organized for the purpose of acquisition, design, development and operation of affordable housing projects. Abode Communities assists in revitalizing communities through acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing, development of new housing and the long-term ownership and management of its rental properties. Abode Communities owns affordable housing properties, provides property management and social programs to enhance the quality of life of its residents, and serves as general partner for affordable housing projects. Abode Communities' principal sources of revenue are rental income from tenants, grants, development fees, and fees for property management, consulting, architectural and project management services.
Abode Communities receives significant funding from federal, state and local government subsidies in various forms, including low-income housing tax credits, low-interest rate loans, grants, and rent subsidies for qualifying very-low, low- and moderate-income tenants.
Principles of consolidation
In the accompanying consolidating financial statements, Abode Communities includes the accounts of that entity. Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations includes the accounts of ACH, FCLC and L'Canon.
In the accompanying consolidating financial statements, Development Entities includes the accounts of entities which are in the predevelopment or construction phase, and Operating Entities includes the accounts of entities which are in operations. Abode Communities, ACH or FCLC has a financial interest in each of the Development Entities and Operating Entities.
The Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations are consolidated because Abode Communities has an economic interest and control of the organizations through management of day-to-day operations and/or a majority voting interest in their governing boards. The limited partnerships and limited liability companies are included in the consolidation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which require consolidation of all such entities which are deemed to be controlled by Abode Communities.
All significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation
Abode Communities is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net assets. Information is required to segregate program service expenses from general and administrative and fundraising expenses.
In conformity with GAAP, contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and the disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates of future operations were made by management in the calculation of the amount of development fee revenue recognized under GAAP.
Fair value
The carrying amount of Abode Communities' cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of Abode Communities' notes receivable and notes payable is assessed by management based on analysis of underlying investments and historical trends. Impairment reserves are provided as necessary.
Cash and cash equivalents
Abode Communities considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted reserves and deposits
Restricted reserves and deposits primarily consist of operating and replacement reserves and property tax and insurance escrows. Such reserves are required by various financing authorities, lenders or stipulations in the applicable partnership or operating agreements.
Accounts receivable and bad debts
Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Management's estimate of the allowance is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current Abode Communities

16 status of accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts is $105,815 and $141,578, respectively. Bad debt expense during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $146,705 and $232,818, respectively, and is included in expenses on the consolidated statements of activities.
Notes receivable
Notes receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Management's estimate of the allowance is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of notes receivable. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts. All related party notes receivable have been eliminated in consolidation.
Due from affiliates
The advances due from affiliates are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Management's estimate of the allowance is based on expected future operating performance and other factors. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Partnership investments
Partnership investments include the equity interest of Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations in certain tax credit partnerships which are not controlled by Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations. Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations account for their investments in such limited partnerships ("Investees") in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under which the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted for Abode Communities' and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations' share of the Investees' results of operations and by cash distributions received. Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations regularly assess the carrying value of their investments in limited partnerships. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated value derived by management, Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations would reduce their investments by the amount by which the carrying amounts exceed the assessed value. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, Abode Communities and Affiliated Nonprofit Corporations did not make any such adjustments. The Investees are variable interest entities whose activities are consolidated with the business activities of their controlling owners.
Project development costs
Abode Communities incurs costs in connection with properties it is considering for development as well as costs associated with projects in the initial stages of development. These costs include such items as market studies, purchase options, environmental study costs, legal and accounting costs.
Project development costs are capitalized until such time as the project is no longer considered desirable or feasible, at which time the costs are expensed. Project development costs related to projects that are ultimately developed are subsequently recorded as receivables to be repaid by the applicable projects. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, $121,815 and $17,144 of project development costs were expensed and included in real estate development on the consolidated statements of activities.
Property, equipment and improvements
Property, equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Costs of properties constructed or rehabilitated include all direct costs of construction, as well as carrying costs during the construction period and indirect costs of construction, supervision and management. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property accounts are Abode Communities

17 reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statement of activities. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.
It is Abode Communities' policy to capitalize expenditures for improvements, furniture, and fixtures and equipment exceeding $2,500.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Abode Communities reviews its property and equipment and investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When recovery is reviewed, if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the property are less than its carrying amount, management compares the carrying amount of the property to its fair value in order to determine whether an impairment loss has occurred. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value. No impairment losses have been recognized during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Deferred fees
Costs related to obtaining low-income housing tax credits are being amortized using the straightline method over the mandatory 15-year compliance period.
Costs related to obtaining leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized on the straightline method over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the related ground lease.

Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, are reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the mortgage loan payable to which such costs relate. Amortization of debt issuance costs is reported as a component of interest expense and is computed using an imputed interest rate on the related loan.
Derivative instruments
Evergreen Apartments, L.P. ("Evergreen"), Laurel Village, L.P. ("Laurel Village"), and Selma have entered into interest rate swap agreements, which are carried on the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are estimated and recorded through the consolidated statement of activities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps have been calculated utilizing a third-party methodology that management believes is commonly employed (see Note 13).
Fair value measurement
The accounting standard for fair value measurement and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined by the accounting standard for fair value measurement and disclosures as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly Abode Communities

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Evergreen, Laurel Village and Selma have the ability to access; Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity's own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety (see Note 13 for additional disclosures).
Noncontrolling interest in limited partnerships and limited liability companies The noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of financial position represents the aggregate balance of limited partner or investor member equity interest in the affiliate limited partnerships or limited liability companies that are included in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Rental income is recognized as rents become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Operating Entities and the tenants of the projects are operating leases.
Portions of the rental income are in the form of subsidy payments from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") under Section 8 of the National Housing Act and a Project Rental Assistance Contract. Tenants are subsidized based upon their level of income. Rent increases require HUD approval.
Development fees are earned in connection with the construction and oversight of the development of properties. The total development fees anticipated to be paid from capital sources are recognized as revenue commencing with the closing of a project's construction loan (the "Closing") based on the percentage of completion method. The total development fee anticipated to be paid from future cash flow of the property (“deferred development fee”) is recorded as an asset with a corresponding offset to deferred revenue. The deferred development fee is recognized when paid and is eliminated in consolidation.
Abode Communities earns architect fees for services provided to third parties, affiliated limited partnerships and wholly owned properties. Such fees are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the contracts. The fees are capitalized into the basis of rental property by the affiliated limited partnerships and the profit earned, if any, is eliminated in the consolidation.
Laundry and cable income and prepaid rent received in advance are deferred until earned.
Property management fee income is earned monthly based on the management agreement. Fees earned for consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation.

20 Resident services fee income is earned monthly based on the resident services agreement. Fees earned for consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation.
Partnership management fee income is earned annually based on the partnership agreements.
Fees earned are eliminated in the consolidation.
Private donations
Contributions are recognized as revenue when an unconditional promise, in substance, to give is received by Abode Communities. All contributions and other types of revenue with restrictions imposed by the donor, if any, are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are released and reclassified to unrestricted net assets. When a donation is received and the restriction is met in the same period, the contribution is classified as unrestricted net assets.
Grants
Abode Communities receives conditional grants from federal agencies and private grantors for various purposes. Conditional grant awards not yet received are accrued to the extent unreimbursed expenses have been incurred for the purposes specified by an approved conditional grant. Abode Communities records refundable advances for revenues received under approved awards from grantors for the purposes specified under the grant restrictions. Cash received for grants in excess of costs incurred is reflected as temporarily restricted net assets. Costs incurred in excess of cash received are reflected as grants receivable.
Functional allocation of expenses
The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statements of functional expenses. Directly identifiable expenses are charged to program and supporting services. Expenses related to more than one function are charged to program and supporting services based on systematic methods.
Income taxes
Each of Abode Communities, ACH, FCLC, L'Canon Club Apartments and Rolland Curtis Commercial QALICB, Inc. have applied for and received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to be treated as a tax-exempt entity pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and did not have any unrelated business income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Due to their tax-exempt status, these entities are not subject to income taxes. These entities are required to file tax returns with the IRS and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and these entities have no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.
The Development and Operating Entities are pass-through entities for income tax purposes and, are not subject to income taxes. All items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by their owners on their respective income tax returns. The Development and Operating Entities' federal tax status as pass-through entities is based on their legal status as a partnership. The Development and Operating Entities are required to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Development and Operating Entities have no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. Income tax returns filed by the Development and Operating Entities are subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years since 2014 remain open.

The Los Angeles Housing & Community Investment Department ("HCID") loaned Abode Communities $1,886,852 at 5% per annum, for the purpose of developing affordable housing. HCID allowed Abode Communities to subsequently assign the real property and its rights and obligations under the loan agreement to Parthenia Housing Associates, L.P., in which Abode Communities participates as the General Partner. Because the funds were part of a government grant that required the loan to remain with Abode Communities, the security interest for the HCID loan is cross collateralized against real property assigned to the limited partnership.
Concurrent with the execution of the loan, Abode Communities received a $1,886,852 promissory note from the limited partnership, the terms of which are identical to the loan payable to HCID.
Proceeds due under the note receivable will be used to offset the identical payments due under the note payable. As such, Abode Communities has not reflected the note, interest income and interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.
Financial instruments
Evergreen entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the "swap agreement") with Union Bank (the "swap provider") to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. Under the terms of the swap agreement, Evergreen has agreed to pay interest to the swap provider at a fixed rate of 4.19%, exclusive of any fees, add-ons or other trustee or bank charges, while the swap provider has agreed to make Evergreen's required monthly mortgage payment. The notional amount of the swap agreement is equal to the outstanding amount of the bonds. The swap agreement expires upon payment in full of the mortgage.
Laurel Village entered into two interest rate swap agreements (the "swap agreements") with Union Bank (the "swap provider") to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. Under the terms of the swap agreements, Laurel Village has agreed to pay interest to the swap provider at fixed rates of
4.90% and 4.98%, exclusive of any fees, add-ons or other trustee or bank charges, while the swap provider has agreed to make Laurel Village's required monthly mortgage payments.

Derivative instruments not meeting the criteria for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position with any change in fair value reflected in the consolidated statement of activities.
A liability for the fair market value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 in the amount of $1,406,489 and $1,602,201, respectively, has been recorded, which represents the fair value of the future differences in interest to be paid and received under the swap agreements over the remaining term of the swap agreements and is included in fair market value of interest rate swap on the consolidated statements of financial position. For the year ended December 31, 2017, a gain on fair value of $195,712 has been recognized and is included in revenue on the consolidated statements of activities. For the year ended December 31, 2016, a loss on fair value of $1,389,127 has been recognized and is included in expenses on the consolidated statements of activities.
Note 13 - Fair value
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the liability which represents the fair value of the interest rate swap in the amount of $1,406,489 and $1,602,201, respectively, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. No other assets or liabilities are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The following table presents the financial liability that was measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

36 On a recurring basis, the Partnerships measure the interest rate swaps at the estimated fair value.
In determining the fair value of the interest rate swap derivative, management uses the present value of expected cash flows based on the market observable interest rate yield curve commensurate with the term of the instrument. The Partnerships incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both the Partnerships’ nonperformance risk and that of the respective counterparty in the fair value measurement. The credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by either the respective counterparty or the Partnerships. However, management has determined that as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the impact of the credit valuation adjustments was not significant to the overall valuation of the swap. As a result, the fair value of the swap is considered to be based primarily on Level 2 inputs.
Note 14 - Grants payable
Grants payable consists of the following as of December 31:

TCAC grants payable represent funds received by Operating Entities from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee ("TCAC") through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Section 1602 award program in the form of non-interest bearing forgivable loans. The loans are secured by deeds of trust and assignments of rents on the underlying real property interests and repayment is required only in the event the Operating Entities do not operate the housing projects in compliance with regulatory and program requirements during their 15-year compliance periods. The TCAC grants are being recognized as grant revenue over the 40-year estimated useful life of the buildings and improvements. TCAC grant revenue recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $207,213.
CDC grants payable represent funds received from the Community Development Commission of the County of Los Angeles to make repairs and improvements to the project in the form of a grant which is forgivable over a seven-year period so long as the borrower annually complies with the terms of the grant agreement. The grant proceeds are being recognized as grant revenue over the 40-year estimated useful life of the related improvements.

It provides a considerable amount of funding in connection with the development of projects. It also provides architectural services, development services, project management services, social services and property management services. In certain cases, Abode Communities pays operating expenses on behalf of affiliates, which are reimbursed to Abode Communities on a monthly basis.

Abode Communities earns architectural fees, asset management fees, social services fees, accounting fees and property management fees in connection with services rendered to consolidated affiliated entities.
The amounts loaned by Abode Communities primarily represent development loans to affiliates.
These loans are unsecured and due on demand and some bear interest.
Note 19 - Guaranties
In its role as general partner of the various Operating Entities, Abode Communities is liable for recourse liabilities. These projects have been allocated low-income housing tax credits pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 42. In connection with their general partnership interests, certain guarantees have been made to the partnerships, including the following:
Development deficit and repurchase guarantees
Abode Communities is obligated to pay any development cost deficits or, at the option of the investor limited partner, to purchase the interest of the investor limited partner if the project is not completed or if permanent financing has not been obtained by specific dates. This obligation typically terminates upon funding of permanent project financing. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, no amounts were due under this guaranty.
Construction loan repayment and completion guarantees
Abode Communities has provided repayment guarantees for construction loans as well as unlimited construction completion guarantees in favor of certain lenders for the development and lease-up of the project, should the project not receive expected permanent financing, or should the cost of the development exceed permanent financing received. There are no Abode Communities

Operating deficit guaranty
Abode Communities and ACH are each obligated to make non-interest bearing loans to cover operating cash shortfalls which are repayable through available cash flow. The guarantees are for various lengths of time, as defined in the limited partnership agreements. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, Abode Communities has one outstanding advance of $252,451 made under this guaranty, which is reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $252,451 on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

Grant and property use restrictions
The properties owned and operated by Abode Communities are typically developed using monies provided by grants and restrictive, low-interest rate loans. The terms of these loans restrict the use of the property and generally require it be rented to low-income qualified tenants for the period of the grant or related loan term. Abode Communities also receives grants with restrictions other than property use. Failure to comply with the terms of the grant or the loans would result in a requirement to repay a portion or all of the proceeds received.
Rental assistance contracts
Six of the properties owned by Abode Communities have entered into rental assistance contracts with HUD or a local housing authority. The contracts have various terms and require the affiliate projects to operate as a low-income housing property and to obtain approval of all rent increases from HUD or the local housing authority.
Low-income housing tax credits
In connection with the Operating Entities who receive low-income housing tax credits, each Operating Entity's low-income housing tax credits are contingent on its ability to maintain compliance with applicable sections of Section 42. Failure to maintain compliance with occupant eligibility and/or unit gross rent, or to correct noncompliance within a specified time period, could result in recapture of previously taken tax credits plus interest. In addition, such potential noncompliance may require an adjustment to the contributed capital by the limited partner.
Forgivable interest
Certain Operating Entities have entered into loans which contain terms that limit the amount of accrued but unpaid interest that may be payable. Generally, accrued but unpaid interest as of the time the loan is due shall be payable only to the extent the fair market value of the Project exceeds the principal balance of the loan plus the principal balance of any loans senior to the loan.
Due to this contingency, interest has not been accrued because the future fair market value of the property at loan maturity is not expected to be sufficient. The following is a schedule of contingent interest as of December 31 that could be due if the fair market value of the property is sufficient:

Litigation
Abode Communities is subject to lawsuits and claims, which arise out of the normal course of its activities. In the opinion of management, based upon the opinions of legal counsel, the disposition of any and all such actions, of which it is aware, will not have a material effect on the financial position of Abode Communities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
41 Morgan Place, L.P., Sherman Way Community Housing, L.P. and Hart Village, L.P., along with 60 other housing property owners with Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles ("CRA") funding, were listed as nominal defendants in the lawsuit brought against the City of Los Angeles and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles by the Plaintiffs:
Independent Living Center of Southern California, Fair Housing Council of San Fernando Valley and Communities Actively Living Independent and Free.
The complaint alleges that CRA engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination by failing to ensure apartment complexes that were funded with CRA funds were accessible to people with disabilities. Management does not anticipate any material monetary cost, physical corrections or mitigations.
Economic concentrations
Abode Communities owns, operates and invests in rental property in Southern California whose future operations could be affected by changes in economic or other conditions in that geographical area or by changes in federal low-income housing subsidies or the demand for such housing.
Note 22 - Subsequent events
Events that occur after the statement of financial position date but before the financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the statement of financial position date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the statement of financial position date, require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated all activity of Abode Communities through June 25, 2018, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to consolidated financial statements except as noted below:
In April 2018, Abode Communities obtained a $2,000,000 predevelopment line of credit from Mercy Loan Fund which matures in April 2021. Interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum is payable monthly.
In January 2018, Abode Communities acquired Grandview Apartments, a 36-unit rental project consisting of 18 duplexes. The purchase price was $7,350,000, which was financed primarily by a loan from Low Income Investment Fund of $8,247,500. The loan includes a $1,200,000 interest reserve and operating and replacement reserves totaling $165,000. Interest at the rate of 5.35% per annum is payable monthly through maturity in January 2021.
