community resources to combine quality housing with
life-enhancing social services. Headquartered in Rancho Cucamonga with a Regional Office in West Los Angeles,

not-for-profit public benefit corporation. Starting with the acquisition and rehabilitation of 248 affordable
homes, the company’s portfolio has grown over the past
two decades to include over 9,000 units in four states; 6,700 of those units are located in Southern California.
National CORE currently serves roughly 27,000 residents and is the developer, owner, operator, and services
provider for all properties, thus ensuring long-term
affordability and high quality maintenance of affordable communities.
Koning Eizenberg Architects are local and global design leaders who will be directing the architectural design of HOLM, Howard Robinson & Associates (HR&A) are local

myriad of strengths to the project. VCHC’s length of
experience in developing supportive housing, providing
essential services to at-risk residents, and relationships with local service providers and community partners
combined with National CORE’s breadth of experience
constructing and managing stellar designed, wellmaintained affordable communities will result in a vibrant community that fits the needs and opportunities within Downtown Santa Monica.
HOLM will be a supportive community that physically
and socially integrates itself into the Downtown Santa
Monica community, taking advantage of the site’s unique context and surrounding assets, while supporting the
distinct needs of the neighborhood. The project is
designed and programmed to meet the goals of recently
adopted Downtown Santa Monica Community Plan, as

PARTNERSHIP LEGAL ENTITY
Both National CORE and Venice Community Housing
Corporation are not for profit corporations, incorporated in the State of California. For this development, a limited partnership will be formed as the ownership entity for the project. VCHC and National CORE will enter into a joint venture.
SANTA MONICA EXPERIENCE
The development team looks forward to expanding its
relationship with City of Santa Monica. The Principal
Developers have experience developing and managing a
range of affordable and permanent supportive housing
communities, including on the Westside. This experience is augmented by the consultant team’s deep understanding
of Santa Monica; most team members have worked in the
community for decades, along with many of them based
locally.
In 2018, VCHC secured a Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) with Santa Monica for five hundred thousand dollars to renovate Navy Blue Apartments, a fourteen unit, permanent supportive housing building located on 102 Navy Court. In addition, VCHC also committed three units for Santa Monica’s tenant-based voucher holders.
VCHC is also experienced in navigating through the coastal development permit process. VCHC recently secured
unanimous approval from the Coastal Commission for the
first 100% and largest to date permanent supportive housing development in Venice.
VCHC will use its knowledge and relationships with the
Coastal Zone to ensure the Coastal Commission’s feedback is incorporated early on so that there is a seamless transition once governmental approvals are secured by the City of Santa Monica. VCHC is also working with the Coastal Commission on the development of Reese Davidson Community, a 140
unit, mixed-use development with an arts center, retail, and 401 public parking stall garage. From the onset, VCHC has worked collaboratively with the Coastal Commission to ensure their concerns are addressed without compromising the rest of the project ambitions.
KoningEizenberg has a deep connection to the City of Santa Monica, having been located in the city for decades and have over a dozen projects designed and constructed across the community. They have secured planning entitlements
and permits for two schools in Santa Monica including PS1 Pluralistic School and Herb Alpert Educational Village, a myriad of mixed use projects, many of which where the City has been the client like Pico Branch Library. The firm brings extensive knowledge of the regulations and process as well as relationships with various staff that will be leveraged to ensure expeditious delivery of design, review, and approval for the project.
Eumenides has managed city-wide community outreach
efforts for more than 30 non-profit and for–profit development projects, chiefly in Santa Monica. Their services include messaging, collateral and multimedia development, social media, development and facilitation of charrettes and
community meetings, engagement with neighborhood
associations and the business community, and mobilization of supporters. These projects include, but are not limited to affordable housing, transportation, hospitality, and healthcare.
Eumenides will be positioned to lead community engagement through planning and design, review and approvals,
construction, and lease-up.
City Fabrick is working with the US Veterans Affairs Department and affordable housing development team to plan an over 1,200 permanent supportive home community for unsheltered veterans and their families to be located on the West Los Angeles VA campus. This includes master planning and
urban design, including communications and community
engagement to a broad constituency of neighbors, local
partners, services providers, and veterans. Team members from City Fabrick have also worked in and for the City of Santa Monica, including the Downtown creative crosswalk project which was honored by the American Planning Association
(APA) Los Angeles Award of Excellence in Urban Design.
City Fabrick and National CORE are part of a large scale redevelopment of a 21-acre Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles [HACLA] property in Downtown San Pedro. One San Pedro is a new neighborhood consisting of nearly 1,400 mixedincome apartment homes and homeownership opportunities, 5 acres of new public open space, and 100,000 square feet of street level space hosting commercial uses, community amenities and service providers. The urban planning and design process includes an extensive community engagement processs that engages multiple city and regional agencies, local residential, business associations, community partners, and service providers to define a shared One San Pedro vision.

14 1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE Founded in 1988, VCHC is a
California non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation
providing affordable housing and supportive
services to low-income, homeless, and chronically
homeless populations in Venice and neighboring
communities.
The mission of VCHC is to reduce homelessness, maximize affordable housing, empower residents, provide social services, and advocate for public policy that protects and strengthens the economic, racial, and cultural diversity of Venice and other neighborhoods on the Westside of Los Angeles County.
VCHC has a long history of successful affordable and
permanent supportive housing development, property
management experience, and extensive experience in
providing comprehensive supportive services to those who have experienced chronic homeless and others most in need.
VCHC also has deep roots n communities across the westside of Los Angeles, and looks forward to implementing its existing robust and successful grass-roots community advocacy team to ensure a successful development in the neighboring City of Santa Monica.
DEVELOPMENT
Through a holistic, flexible, and grass roots process, VCHC has steadily built a portfolio of affordable housing in one of the most challenging areas to build housing, Venice Beach and the Westside of Los Angeles County. The rise of Silicon Beach, restrictive zoning policy, skyrocketing land costs, and widening income inequality have exacerbated rents and
forced families who have long standing roots on the westside to be displaced. Despite these challenges, VCHC has amassed 236 units of multi-family affordable housing, including 77 units of permanent supportive housing, in 17 buildings in the Venice, Mar Vista, and Del Rey neighborhoods. The
properties have been developed through new construction, major rehabilitation, and light rehabilitation.
VCHC has complemented its development pipeline with
a housing first approach to managing properties and
providing the necessary residential service programs. VCHC’s collaborative atmosphere has created a culture that harnesses the experience of each of the team’s specialized fields and the perspectives our tenant populations to achieve the highest quality standards and ensure long-term viability. With a mindset to provide the highest quality of care to each and every one of its residents, VCHC has created an integrated and organic culture that involves the asset and property

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
VCHC has created a comprehensive resident services program for all tenants, particularly in its permanent supportive housing portfolio. The supportive services team works with every tenant individually to ensure they are stable in housing and to build a sense of community. Intensive case management and service partnerships are implemented in supportive
housing units. The staff utilizes a collaborative approach to support the tenants, with supportive services staff and property management staff meeting regularly to discuss any issues for each building and tenant. Other complementary community based programs offered by VCHC include Venice Youthbuild, a comprehensive youth development program
for high risk youth between the ages of 18 and 24; Study Lounge and Westside Science Club, afterschool and weekend programs for elementary school youth. All of these programs are available to VCHC tenants and other low-income and
homeless residents in our target communities.
For the supportive housing portfolio, VCHC has an in-house intensive case management team for 38 of the supportive housing units, and provides service coordination for 39 additional units in two buildings, including the oversight of external social service teams. The team actively participates in the SPA 5 Coordinated Entry System, ensures all move-in approvals for rental subsidizing sources, documents Mental Health Services Administration certification and other funding requirements, and provides ongoing, comprehensive intensive case management services to tenants to ensure housing
stability and other positive outcomes. Furthermore, VCHC includes tenants in its community advocacy efforts. VCHC has successfully engaged tenants who have become advocates
for themselves and for those who remain unhoused. Many
tenants have been instrumental in engaging the community during the development of Rose Apartments and other
housing sites.
management, resident services, and development teams
in every major decision, from strategic planning, managing resources, and implementing programs. This team approach is particularly useful in maintaining a high tenant retention rate.
Currently, VCHC maintains a 95% tenant retention rate in its supportive housing units. Additionally, VCHC employs a diverse staff with lived experiences and various racial, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds.
4.5.2 DEVELOPMENT TEAM
1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 17 VCHC has significant experience operating supportive housing and administering rental subsidy contracts. It administers two Continuum of Care (formerly Shelter Plus Care) contracts across seven different properties for 54 units, a Housing for Health rental subsidy program in 20 units, and employs staff with successful experience completing all reporting and compliance requirements. VCHC’s existing sponsor-based
rental subsidy contracts are very high performing; in last year’s Continuum of Care application, VCHCs contracts were both ranked in the top 15 overall. VCHC has also established relationships with other local service providers to ensure tenants’ full range of service needs are met. VCHC also has a strong group of experienced volunteers who support our residents with household donations, tutoring, wellness classes such as yoga, and other groups and classes. Collaboration with these programs and agencies serve to connect tenants with all available resources in the community, within their homes and buildings and in off-site locations.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
VCHC’s in-house Asset Management and Property
Management teams work in an integrated approach with
resident services, which helps improve tenant stability and outcomes, develop a high performing portfolio, and
build a strong reputation with the local and surrounding communities. VCHC supervises overall property operations, analyzes property financial performance, plans and manages long-term property maintenance, enacts procedures to meet all reporting requirements, and other legal and financial obligations.

compliance, accounting and social programs/services
departments. Our company has experienced staff capacity in development, construction management, property
management, social services, and is a licensed general
contractor. This “in-house” structure allows for strict quality control and cost-savings in all facets of our business.
National CORE’s mission is to not only develop and maintain high-quality affordable housing, but to go well beyond the sticks and mortar and create vibrant communities that
are safe and nurturing environments for our residents. To achieve this Hope through Housing Foundation (HTHF) is
an incorporated nonprofit organization that functions as an affiliate to National CORE, providing on-site social services available to residents living in all our developments. HTHF has consistently demonstrated its capacity to launch and develop high quality programs focused on developmental, educational, social, health, and workforce opportunities for children, youth, and families served living in and around our communities.
The Community Renaissance Concept (see diagram on page
29) builds foundations in challenged neighborhoods that address housing, social service and educational needs and a range of community development gaps essential to long-term personal and community growth. Unlike traditional community redevelopment concepts, which focus mainly on physical
infrastructure and some economic development, National
CORE mainly focuses on the long-term transformational
impact on people and neighborhoods. National CORE has
identified six interconnected components of Community
Renaissance: Education, Housing, Public Safety, Health & Wellbeing, Economic Growth and Environment & Infrastructure.
With an effective coordination effort that leverages resources and expert partnerships, the combined impact is greater than the sum of the distinct initiatives.
National CORE has been honored with 46 national awards, 17 regional and 65 local including being honored by the National Association of Homebuilders as: Nation’s Top Family Housing Developer in 2004, The Best Affordable Housing Community in 2010 for Villaggio on Route 66, and Outstanding Resident Program in 2011 through Hope Through Housing. Our in-house services are described in more detail below.
PLANNING
A house is more than sticks and bricks, and National CORE understands the broader context and importance of housing in a community. Planning from a housing perspective includes integrating the diverse pieces that make up a neighborhood and community—including parks and recreation, social
services, care for the environment, design and aesthetics, health and wellness, and the economy. National CORE’s inhouse community planning services offers our partner clients experience and knowledge to craft creative and workable housing solutions for the communities we serve. We manage, prepare and implement a variety of urban planning and design projects including general, community, master, revitalization, downtown, and specific plans; corridor studies, housing elements, and sustainability strategies. Because we want to design plans that are not only practical and implementable but also embraced by the public and decision makers, we employ a variety of engagement tools. We seek input and involvement online, by phone, in person, and through focus groups from diverse voices in the community. And by opening this dialogue and building support, we can help move projects—from the simple to the most challenging— through review and final approval.

DEVELOPMENT
Our development department, which consists of acquisitions and project development, is responsible for feasibility analysis, due diligence, project design, entitlement processing,
community outreach, securing financing and construction management. Financing for all our projects is obtained by our project development staff, who prepare all funding
applications in-house and perform financial feasibly analysis in regards to determining the appropriate funding sources to use for each project. Typical sources of financing used include: 501 (c)(3) bonds, other tax-exempt bonds, 4% federal tax credits, 9% federal tax credits, state tax credits, AHP funds, State HCD HOME funds, State HCD MHP funds, CalHFA HELP funds,
County/City HOME funds, CDBG funds, Low and Moderate
Set- Aside funds, and MHSA funds.
National CORE is familiar with the process and regulations applicable in securing the above funding sources and has been very successful in competing and securing awards from these funding sources.
CONSTRUCTION
As a licensed general contractor, our construction team builds selected projects and also serves as the owner’s representative for projects that are contracted to third-party general contractors. In that respect, the construction team serves as the Construction Manager in all instances. Having this expertise in-house has allowed us to develop strong systems and processes and accurate construction cost forecasting that draws from our historical database of properties built, rehabilitated and managed.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
We are an expert in green sustainable construction. National CORE has many LEED, Green Point rated and Universal Design projects, exceeding 2,000 apartment homes. Our Vista
Dunes family development in La Quinta is the first multifamily development to achieve the coveted Platinum LEED Certification. This project was recognized by the Home Depot Foundation at the 2009 National Green Builders Conference as “Outstanding Green Project of the Year.” All of these cuttingedge technologies are becoming part of standard building approach that we believe will allow us to excel in this new century. In addition, we have more than a dozen developments in our portfolio that are LEED certified Gold or Silver.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Our in-house property management department employs
strict management practices that include comprehensive
tenant screening, use of a crime free addendum to the
tenant leases allowing for zero tolerance of illegal activities.
We strongly believe that quality management is critical to maintaining quality developments in the long term and
providing a positive environment for our residents.
AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS
National CORE has existing affordable housing agreements on all of our developments, in addition to various other regulatory agreements with TCAC, AHP, CalHFA HELP, and conventional permanent lenders. All these agreements have annual
compliance provisions that have to be tracked and complied with in a timely manner. To ensure timely compliance with these various agreements, we have an in-house compliance department whose primary responsibilities include initial placed-in-service rent calculations and annual rent calculations for all properties, welfare exemption filing, 100% file audits at property placement in service, sample file audits annually, and legal document review to set up a tickler system for all monitoring requirements for all projects.
SPECIAL NEEDS
National CORE has developed, owns, operates and manages ten apartment communities integrated with supportive
housing homes for residents with special needs. Our special needs residents include seniors, children, youth aging out of foster care, adults, and families with severe mental illness and resiliency for children with serious emotional disorders and their families. For example, National CORE has apartment homes funded with Mental Health Service Act resources in collaboration with the Corporation for Supportive Housing and 3rd party full-service providers to build a system where access is easier, services are more effective, out-of-home and institutional care are reduced and stigma toward those with mental illness or serious emotional disturbance no longer exists.

to sustainability and the value of informal social spaces. The firm’s fresh, contemporary aesthetic brings design excellence to a wide range of building types, from housing to community centers, schools to hotels, recreational facilities to retail, and work places to museums. The breadth of this experience

Our firm is known for consistently delivering high quality, responsive public bid projects which exceed expectations. This record is achieved by aligning stakeholder visions with budget early in the process, and by providing quality construction documents and effective project management.
Koning Eizenberg Architecture has consistently demonstrated an ability to infuse mainstream construction culture with strategic design invention that parlays sustainability and amenity into ground-breaking community projects. The
success of the work has raised public expectations and also reinvigorated architects’ interest in everyday projects and socially responsible programs.
Leadership in sustainability is entwined with leadership in community programs. Work dating back to the eighties
highlights passive cooling, healthy building strategies and sustainable water management well before LEED was invented, and includes the first LEED accredited Park in the country (LEED silver) in 2006 and the largest LEED accredited museum (also LEED silver) completed in 2004, as well as platinum, gold and silver accredited community, educational and housing projects.

1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 65 HOLM will be taking advantage of the site’s unique context and surrounding assets, while supporting the distinct needs of the neighborhood. The project is designed and programmed to meet the goals of recently adopted Downtown Santa Monica Community Plan, as well as the objectives stated within the Request for Proposal.
INCLUSIVE HOMES FOR SANTA MONICA
As Santa Monica, the region, and State of California struggle with housing affordability, we are losing many of our neighbors that make our communities special. Long term residents are being priced out, while local workers are having to move further away as the cost of living - specifi cally rental rates, are increasing. The intention of HOLM is to create a supportive residential community that serves the diverse residents of Downtown Santa Monica.
The community outreach throughout the development
process, from refi nement of the program and design through lease-up, will be targeted to those already in Santa Monica.
The project includes a combination of permanent supportive homes, focused on the needs of Downtown Santa Monica’s
unsheltered neighbors, and affordable housing or the local workforce. This will include developing a balance of studio, onebedroom, and two-bedroom apartments to serve individuals, couples, and small families. HOLM intends on helping to preserve the distinctive culture that is derived from the people currently living and working in Downtown Santa Monica that makes the community special.

CONNECTING DOWNTOWN THROUGH PUBLIC SPACES
Based on the recent Los Angeles County Park Needs
Assessment, Downtown Santa Monica has one of the highest park-needs in the city. This publicly owned property provides the opportunity to fi ll a gap in the half-mile walk-shed [10 minute walk] between Reed Park, Palisades Park, and Tongva Park, as HOLM provides essential public open space via a pedestrian paseo and pocket park. HOLM Pocket Park and
Paseo are augmented by a series of publicly accessible rooftop gardens that provide unique experiences for local residents and workers, and visitors alike.
Retaining a significant portion of the municipally-owned property as publicly accessible open space, HOLM will be augmented by rooftop spaces, a local bookstore, and shareduse community room that would provide an essential civic asset for this portion of Downtown Santa Monica. As part of the community engagement process, the development
team will engage local partners, immediate neighbors, and the broader community, to further refi ne the program and design of this future community to best serve and leverage surrounding assets.
LEVERAGING UNIQUE ACTIVITIES TO CREATE PLACE

neighbors, the broader public, and potential partners to refi ne this program to best suit the community and project.
The development team has effectively built shared social spaces within their communities through regular individual and group communications, and shared programming
opportunities that are fun, engaging, and build bonds among neighbors. HOLM service provision includes one-on-one
case management based on individualized services plans, with problem-solving and motivational techniques to build/ rebuild life and coping skills that allow residents to integrate themselves into the community. The development team and service providers will engage and leverage local partners to amplify and adapt our successful programs to the community’s unique needs and assets.
SERVING OUR RESIDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY
HOLM will provide a supportive community for future residents experiencing a variety of needs and challenges, while also providing an environment for these residents to integrate themselves into the broader community. All community
amenities and spaces for service providers are centralized on the street level, to create a hub of activity that can also be accessible to local partners and the broader community.

VCHC will be the lead service provider for the development and will provide and coordinate a broad array of services and programs to enrich the social, economic and personal wellbeing of all residents at HOLM. At the most northern point, residents enter Fourth Street through a private, recessed alcove to enter a spacious, 881 square foot lobby. Residents can head directly west from the lobby to access 562 square foot laundry room and 932 square foot community room.
The community room will be used for residents to facilitate both education programs, such afterschool enrichment
programs and job training services, and social activities such as movie nights, live sporting events, and board games.
Residents will also have ground fl oor access to a residential programming offi ce. The residential programing space will have 4 private offi ces and will be used to facilitate counseling sessions and intensive case management services. Both
tenants and local residents will have access to a 1, 356 square foot independent bookstore, located directly south of the lobby. The independent bookstore activates Fourth Street with pedestrian traffi c but also provides a sense of calm and relaxation from the commercial bowling alley, located furthest south from the resident commons.
The various residential spaces and commercial spaces on the ground fl oor are woven together with a 5,327 square foot meandering courtyard. The courtyard provides much needed green relief to the urban corridor of Downtown Santa Monica with natural vegetation, trees, air, and sunlight. Lush plans and vines funnel through from the ground fl oor to the podium deck and interior walls creating rich and vibrant pockets of social and private outdoor space. The landscaping available on the podium deck offers residents to have more private and informal gatherings, while still maintaining physical access to the lush landscapes located on the ground level. Residents can also ascend to the sixth fl oor and gain access to a spacious

Residents can access the roofdeck directly across Fourth street to attain panoramic views of Downtown Santa Monica and
the Santa Monica Mountains, and use the roofdeck directly across the alleyway to tend the community gardens and host social gatherings and potlucks. While the public open space revitalizes the urban corridor with natural vegetation, trees, air, and sunlight, there is also a private courtyard on the second fl oor which can be used for resident recreation, but also for social services and community-building activities.
SERVICE COORDINATION
Two full-time service coordinators will work in the building, primarily providing basic case management to tenants living in affordable units, supplementary services and activities for all tenants, holding tenant meetings and community-building events, and identifying and securing new service partners.
Service coordinators also will ensure the entire services team is well integrated with the property management team and approach. The building’s annual cash fl ow can support this much-needed component of the service plan.
INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
As an approved and active Intensive Case Management
Services (ICMS) provider in LA County’s Housing for Health program, VCHC has secured a commitment letter for funding for 66 permanent supportive housing tenants, providing up to $356,400 per year. The provision of high quality ICMS includes:

4.5.3 DEVELOPMENT & SERVICES CONCEPT
1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 69 Though VCHC provides a robust service program in-house
and on-site, VCHC will also form a partnership among service providers to best serve the needs of all residents in the building. To date, there are committed services partnerships from local Santa Monica organizations including Chrysalis, CLARE-Matrix, Upward Bound House, Westside Food Bank and Westside Family Health Center. Additionally, VCHC expects that Edelman Westside Mental Health Center will be the
assigned mental health and full services partnership provider for the building, as the No Place Like Home funding will pair each funded development with one of their contracted
providers and Edelman is our partner in other similar existing and planned buildings. VCHC will recruit other organizations to the services partnership as the planning evolves, any specifi c populations are identifi ed, and as tenants move in and present specifi c needs and desires. See the table below for all planned services:
A matrix of all planned services is attached, as well as letters of Intent from key service partners can be found on page 70-75.
SERVICES FUNDING STRATEGY
VCHC and all partners will cultivate high quality residential programming for its 66 supportive housing tenants, 42 lowincome households, and 26 lower wage households. The diverse tenant population allows funding opportunities from a variety of sources and allows for a creative, responsive, and intergenerational approach for residential programming.
VCHC has secured an initial letter of intent for the funding for ICMS for all supportive housing units through its current contract with Los Angeles County Department of Health
Services. As VCHC is an approved and active ICMS provider.
To provide services to households in other units, and
supplementary services building-wide, funds from cash
fl ow operations will be identifi ed and allocated. Lastly, in-kind service partnerships will be built and sustained to ensure all needed and desired services are made available. As back up, private grant funds will be secured as needed and VCHC has a successful history of raising private funds for this purpose.
By implementing this comprehensive funding approach to
resident services, VCHC will ensure the success of the project by providing housing and a full array of services focused on long-term housing stability, increased education and income, improving health and mental health, reducing costs for
emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and jail stays, and contributing to the inclusive and equitable development in Santa Monica.
This funding strategy will support an overall annual services budget of $604,220. The overall services budget with sources and uses, as well as a detailed staffi ng plan and budget, is included in Section 4.5.5(k). This includes a commitment letter from Los Angeles County.

DELIVERING TESTED AND EFFECTIVE RESULTS
The project anticipates a 20-month schedule all government approvals, building permits, and secure financing for the mixed-use development of 135 units and 16,000 square feet commercial space. Our in-house construction team has
targeted a 24 month duration to complete construction.
Upon receiving certifi cate of occupancy, the project assumes 9 months for permanent loan conversion. The development team will work collaboratively with the City of Santa Monica to the Developer Disposition Agreement (DDA), our community outreach plan, and entitlements.
The main drivers that will impact our pre-development
schedule will be the time taken to complete our conditional use permit for the bowling alley and the procurement of rental subsidies. The development team will work closely with the County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health to explore rental subsides. The release of the second Notice of Funding Award (NOFA) for No Place Like Home funds by the Los Angeles County Development Authority will also inform the team on the availability for Capital Operating Subsidy Reserves (COSRs). The development will also continue to work with local brokers and prospective commercial tenants to build and operate a bowling alley, and an independent book store.
Upon securing the development permit, the construction
team will work with the surrounding businesses and City of Santa Monica to create a robust traffi c plan for construction activities. The scale of the proposed development is well within the means of National CORE construction team. They will work pro-actively with the City to ensure construction activities run smoothly and on-time.
Please see page 80 for Development Schedule.
BEING LOCAL AND GLOBAL STEWARDS
The City of Santa Monica is at the forefront of environmental stewardship with comprehensive planning strategies that integrate transportation, land-use development and urban design, rigorous design standards for new development, and high-standards for environmental sustainability in design, construction, and practice. As experts in the fi elds of design, development, and construction, the development team is
excited to meet and exceed those expectations as HOLM will serve as a case study for environmental stewardship through affordable housing, mixed-use design.
HOLM personifi es the intersection of a future mobility network and land-use strategy by replacing a parking garage with affordable housing specifically serving the Downtown
Santa Monica workforce that can walk to their respective places of employment. The building surfaces and massing are specifi cally designed to maximize useable open space, productive landscape, renewable energy production, and
access to natural light and air. The new homes within HOLM are based on effi cient yet liveable unit-designs that have been developed through decades of integrated construction and management practices within the development team. This
grounded expertise allows the development team to be on

The State of California has been a world leader in dealing with the Climate Crisis, laying the foundation for action through AB32, signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2007.
For the building sector, the targets established by AB 32 are set on Zero Net Energy (ZNE), a goal we will reach Statewide in residential construction (three stories or less) come January 1, 2020. For commercial buildings, and residential buildings four stories and taller, 2030 is the ZNE target. To ensure these goals are reached, the State of California, through the California Energy Commission, updates and enacts new
energy codes every three years.
With each new Code cycle, the energy budget allotted to buildings (measured in kBtu per square foot) is reduced, requiring project teams to design with climate in mind, reducing the need for mechanized heating, cooling, and
daylighting system, and maximizing the use of passive
systems. Once the energy effi ciency targets for building envelope, lighting, and mechanical systems are reached, the last step is to deploy renewable energy systems (photovoltaic systems to generate electricity, solar thermal systems to offset natural gas demand for heating hot water). The roadmap and approach, was considered a mystery when the 2008 Energy Code was launched, is now clearly understood by architects, engineers, and development teams.
Because of its size (population, geography, and GDP), the State of California has the ability to move world thought and action when it comes to energy effi ciency and sustainability.
In 2017, California signed an agreement with China, to expand cooperation in the areas of renewable energy, zero emission vehicles, and low-carbon development. This agreement,
following years of collaboration and the exchange of
knowledge, solidifi ed China’s transition away from Coal as a means to generate electricity. China is on the path to be the worldwide leader in the deployment of renewable energy systems. According to the National Energy Administration, in 2018 renewable energy systems powered thirty-eight
percent of China’s electricity grid. According to Architecture 2030, China moves to implement new policies and initiatives when it comes to renewable energy systems and the move
away from fossil fuels only after California takes the fi rst step.
Additionally, India moves to follow China, and so does much of the developing world.
The global context for energy effi ciency, the move towards a clean energy future, and California’s role in moving the State, other States, and other countries forward is important when considering what has led us to this point and what steps need to be taken to further reduce our global appetite for fossil fuels. If the projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are correct, in order to avoid global temperature, increase of 2 degrees Celsius we must hit peak use of fossil fuels in 2020 and then move to eliminate our use of these by 2050 (RCP4.5). To get to a straight-line reduction by 2050, global use of fossil fuels will need to be cut in half by 2030. This is an aggressive but necessary target.
If we postpone moving towards these targets and continue depending on fossil fuels, we will exhaust the budget of CO2 that we can safely emit into the atmosphere faster, and we will need to accelerate the phase out even earlier than 2050.

4.5.4 90 1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE Understanding the complexity of developing affordable
housing within a dense urban environment and center to
an active residential community and business district, the development team is acutely aware and capable of engaging a diverse array of constituents to ensure that the project and its residents are physically, programmatically, and socially connected within its context. The team will utilize its rich experience in developing affordable housing within engaged communities and engaging local voices not typically engaged in planning conversations, while leveraging partners immersed in Santa Monica with intimate knowledge of the development process.
As the project site is already identified by the City to be developed as affordable housing through the Request
for Proposal – along with community-oriented program
integrated into the proposal, the development team would seek to collaborate with local offi cials throughout the design and development process to most effectively engage
constituents. This will relate to refi ning and building support for the residential population the project serves, as well as designing and programming the public-serving facility and public open spaces, and even naming and branding the
new community [“Holm” is a thoughtful placeholder]. The planning process will include engaging existing organizing structures, as well as employing a diverse array of mediums, activities, and forums.
BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
One of the lead developers, Venice Community Housing
Corporation (VCHC) has been developing and operating
affordable housing in the Venice, Mar Vista and Del Rey neighborhoods since 1988 and permanent supportive
housing in Venice since 1994 and has built strong support in these communities for all of its developments. VCHC has a broad base of volunteers and supporters from Venice and surrounding areas including Santa Monica, working in our buildings and other programs, and has an active advocacy committee comprised of Westside residents and VCHC
tenants and staff of all incomes working to promote and increase affordable housing in the community.
VCHC has two recent examples of successful community
engagement and approvals for supportive housing
developments in Diffi cult to Develop Areas and High Resource Areas; Rose Apartments, which will break ground in early 2020. and Gateway Apartments, which is built and operating.
Gateway Apartments, located at 13368 Beach Avenue in the Del Rey community of Los Angeles and immediate to the
border of Marina Del Rey, was completed in 2016. Gateway is a 21-unit, 100% supportive housing development, with the
4.5.4 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN
1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 91 grand opening materials attached as evidence of success.
Though this was a by-right project, VCHC still conducted substantial community outreach and was therefore successful in securing the support of the Del Rey Neighborhood Council.
The Council remains a supporter and partner with this project to this date, and is looking to support new projects of VCHC.
More recently, VCHC has experience in extensive community engagement for the development of Rose Apartments,
located at 200 Lincoln Boulevard in Venice. Rose Apartments is a 35-unit, 100% supportive housing development with
discretionary land use approvals including off-menu density bonus incentives. Supporting documentation is attached
demonstrating over a year of community engagement and
over 550 support letters, leading to a vote of support from the Venice Neighborhood Council, the LA Planning Commission, and the Coastal Commission. Rose Apartments was the
fi rst 100% affordable, new construction project approved in Venice in almost 20 years. Successful Rose engagement attached in Appendix.
To date, through engagement for our Rose Apartments and another future development, the Reese Davidson Community, VCHC has engaged with over 500 local residents, stakeholders, VCHC tenants, and others, in order to educate them about permanent supportive housing, hear their ideas and concerns about our sites, and provide them with tours of our other permanent supportive housing projects in the neighborhood.
Many of these residents have subsequently sent letters to the editor of local papers, emailed support messages to elected offi cials, spoken at public meetings in support of increasing affordable and permanent supportive housing
and/or volunteered to help in ongoing community outreach efforts. VCHC staff and board members continue efforts
to expand community outreach for our existing and future developments to tenants, home owners, community partners, and fi nancial supporters.
National CORE has extensive experience conducting complex, multi-faceted community outreach programs that are tailored to address the unique demographics and conditions of a
particular neighborhood. For example, in the City of San Bernardino, National CORE is redeveloping 252 units of public housing within a low-income, high-crime neighborhood
as part of a larger community transformation strategy.
Community outreach and engagement have played a crucial role in moving the project forward. Throughout the six-year planning process National CORE held dozens of meetings
and conducted numerous surveys in collaboration with the City, local universities, the Housing Authority, faith-based organizations and other local stakeholder groups. Meetings, surveys, and materials were delivered in multiple languages and residents were provided with childcare, transportation, food, and other incentives to encourage attendance.
At different points during the project, National CORE has had a property manager go door-to-door to collect input to ensure that resident voices were heard. Through the extensive outreach conducted, a comprehensive understanding of
residents’ needs and expectations were established to address crime, education, employment, economic development,
housing, and health – providing clear goals and outcomes for the larger neighborhood redevelopment effort. National CORE also serves on the steering committee and was a founding member of the Neighborhood Transformation Collaborative of Central San Bernardino (the “NTC”). The NTC is a partnership of roughly 40 nonprofit agencies working in Central San Bernardino that meets monthly with the intention to align priorities and resources to transform the neighborhoods directly surrounding the public housing redevelopment
site. NTC Member organizations are committed to sharing knowledge, identifying available services, and leveraging resources to achieve the greatest potential impact.
Eumenides has managed city-wide community outreach
efforts for more than 30 non-profi t and for-profi t development projects, chiefl y within the City of Santa Monica. Their services include messaging, collateral and multimedia development, social media, development and facilitation of charrettes and community meetings, engagement with neighborhood
associations and the business community, mobilization of supporters. Their experience, network, and resources will be leveraged throughout the engagement process.

PLAN FOR HOLM COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The community outreach for the 1318 Fourth Street site
will continue to build upon the development team’s solid foundation of existing community support and effective
community engagement capacity. The development team
plans to utilize varied methods of community engagement in Downtown Santa Monica to ensure a high level of awareness, encourage input, dispel myths, and eventually build support for the proposed development. The development team’s
strategies will ensure interested parties are notifi ed, heard, informed, and have an opportunity to contribute:
These integrated strategies will be conducted in a transparent and accountable manner to ensure broad participation and an interactive process. Experience has shown that among the most effective methods are tenant spokespeople engaging with those unfamiliar with supportive housing, building tours, and small group meetings.

4.5.4 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN
1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 93 to the requests of the immediate community. As with all of the outreach strategies, a process for ongoing communication and clearly addressing concerns will be established.
Because each neighborhood, and particularly high resource communities, presents unique positions and challenges,
the development team will continue to grow and adapt
community education materials, engage neighbors of existing supportive and affordable housing to work with us in Santa Monica, and most importantly listen to collective and valid concerns and create thoughtful responses. The proposed
project has fl exibility to change some in program, design, and other aspects, and community engagement will drive
those potential changes.
COMMUNITY DESIGN PROCESS
A series of iterative community design workshops will be held, led by our Community Design Coordinator to ensure buildings meet needs and goals of the proposed development.
As a tenant/community centered design tool to address the design needs and opportunities of our tenant population, the development team will be utilizing what are called design charrettes, will be utilized by the team. Charrettes are design and planning activities where members collaborate thoughts and ideas and sketch designs to explore and share a broad diversity of design ideas. As a community engagement tool, the development team will use these charrettes as a way to increase opportunities for tenants, staff, and community stakeholder involvement that builds ownership and pride among participants in the housing development they will eventually reside or work in, or live next to.
The workshops will allow for the ideas, needs, and solutions of neighborhood participants to be thoughtfully incorporated into the building and program designs. As the same people watch their design ideas incorporated into the housing
development, they can have pride in the shared effort to make said development a success, taking ownership in its continued success. The development team will also engage in direct community outreach, mailings, e-newsletters, and other efforts to ensure strong participation in the workshops.
SMALL GROUP ENGAGEMENT
The development team has found that small group
engagement is one of the best ways to hear input, as well as educate those unfamiliar with permanent supportive
housing about its benefits to the entire community. The team will also organize ambassadors, spokespeople including formerly homeless tenants of permanent supportive housing, to engage in small group settings. Elements of the of the design workshops will be utilized to collect similar input and support while remaining unique to this audience and forum.
Educational materials will be created, all input collected will be recorded, and ongoing communication will be established so that participants know the results of their feedback on the project.
ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY GROUPS
The development team will also build relationships with a wide variety of established surrounding neighborhood
community groups and nonprofi ts in Santa Monica including, but not limited to: Westside Food Bank, Chrysalis, Step Up on Second, New Directions and other Veteran’s organizations; aligned non-profi t organizations such as The People’s Concern, Upward Bound House, Westside Family Health Center; and
others who provide services and support for the unhoused and low-income populations to be identifi ed. VCHC already has relationships with these Santa Monica-based organizations , which will enhance the development team’s community reach within Downtown Santa Monica, facilitating connections to individuals, families and youth experiencing homelessness.

STAKEHOLDER NOTIFICATION AND
OUTREACH MATERIALS
The development will use varied methods to ensure
stakeholders are notifi ed of the proposed project and can engage with us directly about it. Specifi c outreach materials will include:
In summary, the development team recognizes outreach is imperative when it comes to any affordable and permanent supportive housing development. Therefore, the development team will ensure community outreach strategies are robust, meaningful, and result in a project with broad support.
Additionally, a successful community outreach process for this site can provide a strong foundation for support for future projects, which are much needed in the Santa Monica area, as well as Venice and the Westside to meet the overwhelming need. The above outlined strategies will be evaluated on an ongoing basis, and supplemented or enhanced as needed.
VCHC is also part of the Westside Coalition that works together with about 55 faith-based and social service organizations to collaborate on issues of housing, hunger and health through service coordination, public education and advocacy. The development team expects to identify other community
groups throughout the process, and will be available for meetings, presentations, and discussions as invited or needed.
VCHC has a working relationship with Supervisor Kuehl,
including working with her on recent community engagement activities. Supervisor Kuehl’s staff has played a similar role in expressing public support for new developments and
introducing the development team to stakeholders. The
development team plans to work with the City Council,
Supervisor offi ce and other local offi cials to reach partners around the project site, to meet and become familiar with key stakeholders.
ESTABLISHED LOCAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH
CITY COUNCIL
The development team will engage Downtown Santa Monica
to build relationships with a wide variety of established local businesses in order to aid in design and programming the ground fl oor space and outdoor public space. This will help build new relationships within the Santa Monica community by diversifying our outreach and networks to local restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and various services. This includes working with the association, businesses, and their staff members.
We believe we should rely on businesses with long standing social and business support in the community, for direction and insight on what is successful in the Santa Monica
community. This will aid us in building lasting relationships and partnerships for the future of this project and its residents
NEIGHBORHOOD WALKS AND BUILDING TOURS
The development team has done extensive outreach on
the Westside, and will continue doing so focused on
Downtown Santa Monica. Although homelessness is a wellknown issue, there are still many who are unfamiliar with permanent supportive housing and how they exist within
a neighborhood. Additionally, neighborhood walks are a
great way for a diverse group of residents to jointly assess the assets and needs in the surrounding community, and
use that to inform uses for the site beyond housing, including retail, social services, green space, and others. VCHC staff will plan and lead regularly scheduled neighborhood walks and tours of existing affordable and permanent supportive housing in Venice and Santa Monica, educate participants about the value and potential for housing developments to meet other community needs, and document the input and
feedback received.

SECTION A Ӳ SOURCES & USES
To fund the development of 135 units, the project leverages the maximum proceeds available for No Place Like Home
funds and targets gap fi nancing from Affordable Housing Trust Fund (County of Los Angeles Development Authority) and the Affordable Housing Program (Federal Home Loan
Bank of San Francisco). The project fi nances the remainder of the project with tax credit equity and a perm loan that includes 66 Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool vouchers (County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services). The viable fi nancial strategy is able to deliver 100% affordable housing project and over 15,000 square feet of commercial space, without the need for any Santa Monica Affordable Housing Trust Funds.
The development will finance the building shell for the 15,400 square foot commercial space composed of a bowling alley and independent bookstore with perm loan and tax
credit equity. A detailed split between the residential and commercial sources is provided below.
4.5.5 COMMUNITY FINANCING STRATEGY
100 1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE SECTION B Ӳ DEVELOPMENT PRO FORMA
The proposed development yields a total cost $442K per
unit for residential development and $384 per square foot for the commercial space. The pricing for the construction budget assumes residential prevailing wages and commercial prevailing wages for certain mechanical, engineering, and plumbing trades. For additional details on the construction budget, please see appendix (See Financial Strategy folder).
Below is a detailed breakdown of the uses envisioned in the development of 135 units and 15, 125 square foot commercial space.
The soft costs account for almost 27% of the total development, driven primarily by the costs associated for fi nancing costs, permit fees, architectural and engineering fees, and developer fee. To maximize the total amount of equity available for a 4% tax credit project, the developer fee follows the tax credit allocation committee (TCAC) guidelines. To calculate the maximum tax credits, TCAC allows development teams to
apply 15% of total development costs eligible for basis. The amount, however, that can be capitalized is $3 million. The remainder of the development costs ($5.4 million) associated with the developer fee will be reinvested as by General Partner Equity. Please see the Development Pro Forma below for a full breakdown between general contractor costs, architectural fees, and developer fees. The costs associated for the
community benefi ts, for the bowling alley and independent bookstore, are broken down in the commercial budget column.
The costs for the pocket park are incorporated into the total sitework costs for the residential and commercial space.
In addition to creating an overall development budget,
the team has created a list of a sources and uses for the predevelopment budget. Our development team has a
long standing history in securing predevelopment loans on city-owned sites and we will work with our partners to ensure timely access to capital funds. Please see the Predevelopment Budget also attached. Please see Section D of 4.5.5 for more information regarding the fi nancial capacity and experience for more information.

The mixed-income development of 135 units, including 66 permanent supportive housing units and rental subsidies, yields a rental income of $1.9 million a year and operating expenses of $1.0 million, which generates a net operating income of $837,000. After applying 1.15 debt coverage ratio, the project generates an annual debt service amount of
$729,000.
The commercial space assumes a triple net lease with $5.25 per square foot market lease rate for the bowling alley and discounted lease rate of $4 for discounted lease rate for the bookstore. The net income generated from this space is
split evenly between the development team and City of
Santa Monica to ensure our project objectives and overall community benefi ts are aligned and viable long-term. In addition to the paying the Downtown Santa Monica Property and Business District fees, the project will pay an additional fee for the recently implemented Park Ambassador Pilot
Program to ensure adequate resources are available for the 5,327 square foot pocket park.
The details regarding residential income and expenses
are provided below. A 55 year cash flow statement with
the assumptions is projected below with a breakdown the cashfl ow waterfall for both the residential and commercial net income streams.

The team will work in close collaboration with the City of Santa Monica to determine the terms and obligations of the two parties in the development of the project. We are proposing a long-term ground lease for the land, described in Section I below. We anticipate that the property will be delivered to the developer team as vacant land without encroachments and unnecessary easements. The team will negotiate the terms of the restrictive covenants to be imposed on the land with the City, and request that the City be willing to subordinate these covenants as necessary to other lenders. The team is also requesting a waiver or deferral of the City development impact fees

The proposed project and ground lease terms are contingent upon the successful award of the LACDA funds to the project.
A variety of funding sources, including private and public lenders and equity proceeds from the syndication of lowincome housing tax credits will be used to build the 135 units of quality affordable housing. The development team has substantial experience winning awards from these funding programs. Due to the competitiveness of the funding, the team is asking the City to allow for multiple attempts to obtain the funding from the County and State.
SECTION H ӳ PROPOSED REPAYMENT STRUCTURE
The developer team is not requesting fi nancial assistance from the City at this time, other than the long-term ground lease discussed in Section I below.
SECTION I ӳ PROPOSED GROUND LEASE TERM, STRUCTURE
AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE
The developer team is proposing a long-term ground lease of the City land for a minimum term of 90 years, with the value of the ground lease to be determined by an appraisal at fair market value. Based on the available market comparables, the team anticipates a land cost of $26 million. Residual receipts will be taken from both the residential and commercial cash fl ow income streams. To help attract and sustain operations from a local bookstore, a subsidize lease payment of $4.00 is applied to a bookstore. For the bowling alley, the development team will charge a lease payment of $5.25, based off of the average market lease payment off 3 commercial comparables located on Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Monica. The
payment from Residential Income will be split pro rata
between the public funding sources based on the total public funds allocated to the project. The payment from Commercial Income will be split 50% between the development team and City of Santa Monica. The team will collaborate on the terms of the annual lease payment to the City of Santa Monica and will remain fl exible to balance the needs of the project and City of Santa Monica.
SECTION J Ӳ FINANCING TIMELINE
From the very onset, the development team will seek rental subsidies outside of the City of Santa Monica to fund operations for the 66 permanent supportive housing units with the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services. The project will fi rst pursue the maximum amount available for No Place Like Home (NPLH) funding to help secure gap fi nancing. The 2020 Notice of Funding Award (NOFA) for NPLH is anticipated in late spring/early summer. Upon securing this public source, the team will apply for the Los Angeles County Development Authority’s Affordable Housing Trust Funds to secure the remaining funds to build the construction. The exact ask for AHTF will be calibrated with on-going construction estimates as the project progresses further in design development. Upon securing entitlements for the bowling alley and independent bookstore, the project will apply for tax credits and the fi nal gap fi nancing for Affordable Housing Program (AHP). The total anticipated timeline to receive 100% fi nancing is 13 months.

4.5.6 FINANCIAL CAPACITY & EXPERIENCE
1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 121 SECTION D: EXPERIENCE OBTAINING FUNDING SOURCES
IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 4.5.5
National CORE – Overall Financial Capacity
With nearly 10,000 units under management, National CORE (and its affiliates) serve NEARLY 30,000 residents in over 100 developments in California, Texas, and Florida. To date, National CORE has secured more than $1 billion in low income housing tax credit equity, nearly $1 billion of tax-exempt bond allocation and over $400M of public Agency subsidy. With the combination of these funding sources, National CORE has built or rehabilitated 8,200 rental units throughout Southern California. With a book value of nearly $1 billion, National CORE’s portfolio includes more than 60 low income housing tax credit fi nanced communities.
Financing for all our communities is obtained by National CORE’s in-house project development and fi nance staff. All funding applications are prepared in-house as well as fi nancial feasibility analysis to determine the appropriate funding sources to develop each project. National CORE has extensive experience with the regulations and process required to secure available affordable housing funding sources and has been very successful in competing for and securing funding for 27 years. A full history of National CORE’s demonstrated fi nancial history can be seen in Appendix.
VCHC – Overall Financial Capacity
Through 31 years of grass-roots development in Venice, VCHC has amassed over 236 units in the neighborhoods on the
westside of Los Angeles. VCHC has been able to preserve housing opportunities for low income families despite being situated in one of the most diffi cult areas to develop. VCHC has been successful in adding 223 units to its development pipeline by entering development agreements with city
housing departments, collaborating with local community service providers, adding density to infi ll sites, and securing needed funding. VCHC has leveraged local, county, and
state funding resources to fi nance permanent supportive housing and low income units for families.
To finance the 135 mixed-income development of 1318
Fourth Street, the development team has created has a
fl exible approach that utilizes state and county resources while minimizing the need for Santa Monica city resources.
The following sources from Los Angeles County have been identified: No Place Like Home (NPLH), Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (FHSP), Affordable Housing Trust Funds (AHTF), and Affordable Housing Program (AHP).
4.5.6 FINANCIAL CAPACITY & EXPERIENCE
122 1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE No Place Like Home (NPLH)
To fi nance the 66 permanent supportive housing units, the development team is leveraging the maximum funds available for No Place Like Home funding. The NPLH is an attractive source because the platform is anticipated to last several rounds and assumed to be noncompetitive. Both developers, as well as the architect, meet all the threshold items and would receive maximum points for team experience, should the platform become competitive going forward.
In the most recent funding round, both developers were
successful in harnessing this resource. National CORE was recently awarded two fi rst round funding allocations from the No Place Like Home program for developments in Southern California. National CORE was awarded $7.7million in funds to build 64 permanent supportive housing units for development of Cathedral Palms Senior Apartments and $6.0 million in funds to build Legacy Square in Santa Ana. National CORE was also awarded $1.5 million in CalHFA’s Special Housing Needs Program for Legacy Square. Previously, National CORE received Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funding for three projects: Oakcrest Heights in Yorba Linda, Mission Cove in Oceanside and Signature in Fairfi eld.
VCHC recently secured two funding awards in Venice, one for $2.6 million award for the development of 13 permanent supportive housing units for Rose Apartments and a $1.7 million award for the development of 8 permanent supportive housing units at Marian Place. In addition, VCHC was also able to secure funding for CalHFA’s Special Housing Needs Program (the predecessor to the No Place Like Home funding platform) for an allocation of $3.3 million for its development of 21 permanent supportive housing units at Rose Apartments.
In addition to being a robust platform, the underwriting criteria for No Place Like Home is conducive to leveraging county resources, favorable underwriting criteria that will allow the project to structure the deal with diverse team of lenders and equity partners.
Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (FHSP)
The most critical funding component to the mixed-income development lies with the procurement of rental subsidies for the 66 permanent supportive housing units. The team is well aware of the City’s preference to use external resources to provide rental subsidies. VCHC has been successful in securing Flexible Housing Subsidy Vouchers from Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) for 20 vouchers for Gateway Apartments, and most recently, for securing 34 rental vouchers from the Los Angeles County Department
of Mental Health (DMH) for Rose Apartments. VCHC will
continue to leverage this strategic partnership, as well as its success in securing supportive services funds, to prioritize this funding source in securing 66 vouchers. National CORE has also been awarded 50 rental vouchers from Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) for Fairview Heights.
4.5.6 FINANCIAL CAPACITY & EXPERIENCE
1318 FOURTH STREET AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RFP RESPONSE 123 As a secondary option, the development team will explore the possibility of inserting a Capital Operating Subsidy Reserve (COSR) to help safeguard cash fl ow operations if rental vouchers are not available. The County of Los Angeles Development Authority is currently assessing the feasibility of having COSRs available for next the No Place Like Home funding round. If that opportunity is available, the development team will work on securing a COSR of up to $14.8 million over 20 years to help stabilize operating expenses associated with the permanent supportive housing units. National CORE has had previous success in securing COSR to make projects fi nancially feasible.
Most recently, National CORE was able to secure $2.9 million in a COSR to supplement 16 permanent supportive housing units for its Legacy Square housing development in Santa Ana, CA.
The development team work closely with the City of Santa Monica to obtain rental subsidies through any available source.
While the project aspires to have 66 permanent supportive housing units, the project has fl exibility to reassign some of these units to low income and workforce families should there be a shortage of rental subsidy. The development team shares the city’s commitment to at least having 50 permanent supportive housing units at the proposed development, and will continue to work with County and various public agencies to fi nd innovative strategies to supplement rental income associated with permanent supportive housing.
Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF)
The fi nal public source needed to build 135 developments is funding from Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The County’s housing fund, though competitive, is a resource in which both National CORE and VCHC have been successful in the past. In addition, the project is only requesting 73% of the total funds available to fi nance 22 low income units at 50% Area Media Income (AMI). National CORE has a long history of securing LACDA funding through their NOFA process, including recent projects in Inglewood, Pasadena, Downey, East LA and City of Los Angeles. VCHC utilized $3 million from LACDA’s housing fund to build 20 permanent supportive housing units for Gateway Apartments.
FHLB Affordable Housing Program (AHP)
The proposed development with its focus on special needs population, infi ll location, high-quality supportive services and proven track record make this project very competitive for securing the Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program funds. The project anticipates gap financing of $1.34 million from this competitive source. The proposed development allows the team to maximize points based
on the current guidelines based on its overall affordability levels offered. The team has had tremendous success in
securing these funds in the past. National CORE has been awarded almost $19 million of AHP funds in 36 properties over the past 20 years. VCHC has secured AHP loans on 5 of its buildings under management, amassing to the development and supportive services for 78 units
Private Lenders & Tax Credit Investors
Our development team’s relationships with various public and private fi nancial partners give us access to external capital resources that can be committed to the proposed project.
Specifi cally, the trust and open communication we share with our private equity and debt partners as well as local, state, and federal agencies allow us to structure even the most complex deals effectively with a diversity of products and services. National CORE maintains a $12 million revolving line of credit with Citizen’s Business Bank to provide predevelopment funding for its project pipeline. National CORE is very experienced in preparing fi nancial projections and structuring each property’s unique capital stack utilizing a variety of funding sources to strategically position a proposed development until it is fully funded.
4% Federal Tax Credits
National CORE’s relationship with tax credit syndicators and direct investors ensures competitive pricing and diverse range of fi nancial services and products. To date, National CORE has secured more than $1 billion in low income housing tax credit equity, nearly $1 billion of tax-exempt bond allocation and over $400M of public Agency subsidy. VCHC has completed 4 tax credit projects amassing to 90 units and $7M in funds The pursuit of the noncompetitive 4% tax credits enables a larger capital allocation from No Place Like Home proceeds and provides fl exibility for syncing fi nance milestones closer to the entitlements and design development schedule. Moreover, the noncompetitive nature of 4% tax credits ensures greater viability for the project to move forward and move swiftly to construction closing.

ALTERNATIVE FUNDING PLATFORMS
9% Federal Tax Credits
While the project anticipates a 4% tax structure due to highly competitive nature of 9% tax credits, the proposed development allows fl exibility to switch to a 9% federal tax credit structure, should funding from Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Trust Fund not materialize. Because
9% tax credits are extremely competitive and the project scores favorably in securing affordable housing trust funds, the development team does not anticipate a 9% federal
tax credits deal structure at this time. Both developers do, however, have signifi cant experience in obtaining 9% tax credits. Please see Section E to see a portfolio list of projects completed by both National CORE and VCHC.
State Tax Credits
In addition to having fl exibility for a 9% tax structure, the project will also closely track state tax credits to see if this pool of funds will be available for gap fi nancing. Although state tax credits are extremely competitive, the equity source would only be pursued if gap fi nancing is needed. The project does not see any need to pursue gap fi nancing at this current juncture, as No Place Like Home and Affordable Housing Trust Funds are available. If the additional state tax credits that were approved in AB 101 continue to be available for 4% tax credit new construction projects, the developers will consider this funding as gap fi nancing.

Re: 1318 4th Street Project
Dear Ms. Dennison:
The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) Housing for Health division is partnering with affordable housing developers to provide affordable housing linked to appropriate services for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness. DHS greatly appreciates the collaboration with the Venice Community Housing Corporation (VCHC) for the purpose of delivering supportive housing to prospective DHS tenants. We look forward to assisting in the development and successful operation of the project. This letter hereby supersedes any previous commitments issued by DHS dated prior to the date above.
Project Description
The project will be located at 1318 Fourth Street in the City of Santa Monica. It will be a new construction of 120 rental apartments, and will be designed to complement the neighborhood while providing a high-quality and safe environment for its residents.

Case Name
United African-Asian Abilities Club, On Behalf Of Itself And Its Members: Theodore A. Pinnock, An Individual v. National Community Renaissance of California; and DOES 1 Through 10, Inclusive.
Case Number
2:19-cv-06438 CAS (AFMx)
Filing Date
4/25/19 Filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California.
Party Designations
National CORE was the only named defendant.
Brief Description
Plaintiff United African-Asian Abilities Club (“Club”) alleges it is an advocacy group dedicated to assisting its members on disabled accessibility issues at businesses the Club’s members intend to patronize. Theodore Pinnock (“Pinnock”) is a disbarred California lawyer allegedly attempting to move back to California and reinstate his license to practice, and was allegedly intending to rent an apartment from National CORE’s owned and managed affordable housing property, Hawthorne Terrace Apartments. Plaintiffs allege that Pinnock was unable to access National CORE’s rental services, both online and at the on-site leasing offi ce, because of alleged communication and physical barriers related to Plaintiff’s disabilities. Plaintiffs allege violations of the Federal and State versions of the Fair Housing Act, along with discriminatory intent and impact liability, and failure to provide reasonable accommodations so that Plaintiffs could overcome the communication and physical barriers to accessibility. Among other allegations, Plaintiff’s claim that advertising websites naming Hawthorne Terrance as an available rental facility lack a proper TDD/TTY vision or hearing impaired number to contact, lack large readable print for the vision impaired, lack proper texting and screen reading software, and lack photographs showing, and describing, the physical accessibility features for the property and leasing office. Further, Plaintiffs allege the property lacks properly constituted van accessible handicap parking for visitors, accessible path and features for non-ambulatory entry to the property, and accessible features for wheelchair bound individuals. Defendant National CORE timely answered the complaint on August 23, 2019, denying the allegations by paragraph and asserting affi rmative defenses. Defendants are contemplating dispositive motions as to Plaintiff Club (as it is not currently authorized to conduct business in California), and have asserted affi rmative defenses based on Pinnock’s past conduct as a vexatious litigant (as found by a California court in 2011). National CORE has recognized that this type of case is “form” complaint intensive and Plaintiffs are serial complaint fi lers, with the intent to extract quick pecuniary settlements.
At present, discovery is ongoing and initial disclosures are being prepared.

National CORE has answered or responded to the present
litigation, and was successful in its discussions with plaintiffs’ litigation counsel concerning obtaining the dismissal of National CORE and other parties without prejudice, during the pending litigation against YMCA.

National Community Renaissance of California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidating financial statements of National Community Renaissance of California, which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of activities, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidating financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidating 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 consolidating 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 consolidating financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidating financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidating financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidating 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 consolidating 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 consolidating financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidating financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Community Renaissance of California as of December 31, 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 360 APPENDIX
3 Adoption of New Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2016, National Community Renaissance of California adopted a new accounting principle related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. Our report is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidating financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information on pages 33 and 34 is presented for purposes of additional analysis, and is not a required part of the consolidating financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2 U.S.
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidating financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidating financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidating financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidating financial statements or to the consolidating 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 consolidating financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 30, 2017, on our consideration of National Community Renaissance of California's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering National Community Renaissance of California's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

10 Note 1 - Organization and nature of operations
National Community Renaissance of California ("NCRC"), formerly known as Southern California Housing Development Corporation, is a nonprofit organization formed to assist cities in California in the development of high-quality affordable housing. NCRC assists in revitalizing communities through acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing or through construction of housing. NCRC 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. NCRC's principal sources of revenue are rental income from tenants, grants, property management fees and consulting and development fees.
NCRC and its affiliates receive 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
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of NCRC and supporting entities in which NCRC and affiliates own 100% interest. Additionally, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 include the accounts of 61 limited partnerships in which NCRC owns a minority financial interest, but has a controlling interest. These entities are included in the consolidation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). For the limited partnerships in which the nonprofit general partner (noted on pages 12 and 13) serves as the general partner, NCRC has determined that the presumption of control for the limited partnerships has not been overcome, and as a result, the limited partnerships have been consolidated. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NCRC has an economic relationship with National Community Renaissance Development Corporation ("NCRDC"), a nonprofit organization, which has an overlapping board and shares employees and facilities. However, each organization has and maintains its separate corporate identity. Neither entity has any voting rights in the other and there are no contractual or oversight requirements imposed on either organization in favor of the other. NCRC has provided voluntary operating advances to NCRDC. As of December 31, 2016, the balance of advances due from NCRDC is $6,374,364, which is included in advances due from affiliates on the statement of financial position (see Note 11).
In accordance with GAAP, Reporting of Related Entities by Not-for-Profit Organizations, consolidation of the two organizations is not required. The total assets, liabilities, unrestricted net assets controlling, unrestricted net assets non-controlling, and revenues and gains and expenses and losses of NCRDC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 are approximately $64,000,000, $62,000,000, ($2,000,000), $4,000,000, $13,000,000 and $16,000,000, respectively.
Also included in the consolidation is Hope Through Housing Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) entity. Hope Through Housing Foundation shares the same board of directors as NCRC, and is economically dependent on NCRC. In accordance with GAAP, it has been determined that control exists over Hope Through Housing Foundation, which has been included in the consolidation. 368 APPENDIX

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
Accounting method
NCRC uses the accrual method of accounting which recognizes income in the period earned and expenses when incurred, regardless of the timing of payments.
Basis of presentation
NCRC 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 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.
APPENDIX 371
National Community Renaissance of California
Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
14 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 financial statements and 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 developer fee revenue recognized under GAAP, the amount of expense allocated to an affiliate, and the assessment of the collectability of advances due from affiliates.
Cash and cash equivalents
NCRC considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash consists of replacement reserves, property tax and insurance escrows, operating reserves, debt service reserves and construction loan draw reserves. Such reserves are required by various financing authorities, lenders or stipulations in the applicable partnership or operating agreements.
Accounts receivable and bad debts
Tenant accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management's estimate of the allowance is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of tenant accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the allowance will change. As of December 31, 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts is $98,514.
Bad debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $311,258 and is included in rental income from tenants on the statement of activities.
Advances 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, 2016, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Investments
NCRC records its investments on the cost basis of accounting, as determined by their ownership percentage and control. Such investments include the following entities: Housing Partnership Network Group Insurance Initiative; HB Housing Partners, L.P.; Anaheim Revitalization Partners, L.P.; Anaheim Revitalization II, L.P.; Anaheim Revitalization III, L.P.; and Anaheim Revitalization IV, L.P.
Project development costs
NCRC 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 year ended December 31, 2016, $8,591 of project development costs were expensed and included in other expense on the statement of activities. 372 APPENDIX
National Community Renaissance of California
Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
15 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 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 NCRC's policy to capitalize expenditures for improvements, furniture, and fixtures and equipment exceeding $2,500.
Impairment of long-lived assets
NCRC reviews its long-lived assets 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 year ended December 31, 2016.
Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, are reported as a direct reduction 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.
Deferred costs
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 interests are capitalized and amortized on the straight-line method over the life of the related ground lease.
The table below indicates each component within the deferred costs line item on the statement of financial position:

Derivative instruments
NCRC has entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which is carried on the statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are estimated and recorded in the statement of activities. The fair value of the interest rate swap has been calculated utilizing a third-party methodology that management believes is commonly employed (see Note 7).
Fair value measurement
The carrying amount of NCRC's 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 the NCRC’s long-term notes receivable and notes payable is assessed by management based on analysis of underlying investments and historical trends. Impairment reserves are provided as necessary. It is impractical to estimate the fair value of the NCRC's financial guarantees because there are no quoted market prices for transactions that are similar in nature.
NCRC measures the fair value of its interest rate swap on a recurring basis in the financial statements. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs and hierarchy of fair value NCRC uses when measuring fair value:
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has 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 7 for additional disclosures).
Non-controlling interest in limited partnerships and limited liability companies This amount represents the aggregate balance of investor limited partner or investor member equity interest in the Housing Affiliates that are included in the financial statements. The aggregate negative balances, if any, of limited partner or investor member interests prior to January 1, 2010 remain in NCRC's net assets.

17 Revenue recognition
Rental income is recognized as rents become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the projects 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.
NCRC earns contractor fees based on services provided in the development of projects of affiliated limited partnerships and wholly owned properties. Such fees are recognized when earned based on the estimated percentage of completion. The fees are capitalized into rental property on the limited partnerships' financial statements.
Developer fees are earned in connection with the construction and oversight of the development of properties. The developer fees are recognized as revenue commencing with the closing of a project's construction loan (the "Closing") based on the percentage of completion method, taking into account the total anticipated development costs and the potential operating deficit obligation through the period from the Closing through the end of the operating deficit obligation period (typically three years from the achievement of Breakeven Operations as defined in partnership agreements). Generally, NCRC utilizes the following formula to determine the amount of the developer fee earned as of a specific date: The developer fee multiplied by the fraction having as its denominator (i) the total development costs plus (ii) the total operating deficit obligation for the obligation period and as its numerator (i) the total development costs incurred to the specific date of calculation plus (ii) the total operating deficits funded as of the specific date of calculation. Upon construction completion, the remaining developer fee is recorded as an asset with a corresponding offset to deferred revenue if the amount of developer fee owed exceeds the amount of developer fee earned to such date in accordance with the preceding formula. In the event that a portion, or all, of the developer fee is not paid at the end of the development period (deferred developer fee), the deferred developer fee is generally assumed to be paid from the future cash flow of the property and thereby recognized when paid. Developer fees that are earned during construction and paid for with investor equity or project debt are capitalized. The deferred developer fees expected to be paid from property operations are eliminated in 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.
Private donations
Contributions are recognized as revenue when an unconditional promise, in substance, to give is received. 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.
Grants
Grants received from government agencies and others, which are conditioned upon NCRC incurring certain qualifying costs or meeting other conditions, are recognized as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets. When the qualifying costs are incurred and/or the possibilities of not meeting the conditions are remote, such grants are reported as increases in APPENDIX 375

18 unrestricted net assets. In general, these conditions require NCRC to maintain ownership of the property and to continue to provide low-income housing as specified in the agreement.
Functional allocation of expenses
The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. 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
NCRC including Hope Through Housing Foundation has 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 year ended December 31, 2016. Due to its tax exempt status, NCRC and Hope Through Housing Foundation are not subject to income taxes. NCRC and Hope Through Housing Foundation are required to file tax returns with the IRS and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and NCRC and Hope Through Housing Foundation have no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2013 are subject to review by the IRS.
The Housing Affiliates 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 Housing Affiliates' federal tax status as pass-through entities is based on their legal status as a partnership. The Housing Affiliates are required to file tax returns with the IRS and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Housing Affiliates have no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years since 2013 are subject to review by the IRS.
Advertising
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.
Organization
Organization costs are expensed as incurred.
Change in accounting principle
During 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"), which modifies the presentation of debt issuance costs and the related amortization. The change in accounting under ASU 2015-03 improves the reporting of debt issuance costs by no longer reporting them as assets.
It also improves the reporting of the related amortization by including it as a component of interest expense. ASU 2015-03 has been adopted by the Company on a retroactive basis. As a result, total assets as well as loans payable for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been reduced by the effect of the reclassification of debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $6,635,101.
Reclassifications
Certain items from the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 4 - Investments
On March 30, 2004, NCRC invested in the Housing Partnership Network Group Insurance Initiative, a cooperative of other real estate investment companies, whose purpose is to offer low-cost insurance and worker’s compensation to companies with a history of low-loss ratios. The investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting since NCRC’s ownership is less than 20%. In 2004, NCRC purchased one share of Class A stock for $10,000, and 277 shares of Class B stock at $1,000 per share. In 2013, NCRC purchased 275 Class C shares at $555 per share. NCRC is entitled to dividend payments in proportion to their investment once they are declared. As of December 31, 2016, the investment in the insurance cooperative is $697,815.
Dividends in the amount of $115,292 were received during the year ended December 31, 2016, and are included in other income on the statement of activities.
NCRC consolidates its ownership interest in limited partnerships which it controls (see Note 1). As of December 31, 2016, there was a deficit balance in investment in limited partnerships of $744,597. Such amount was eliminated in consolidation.

26 Financial instruments
To minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, in 2015 NCRC entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo under which NCRC pays interest at a fixed rate of 3.58% and Wells Fargo pays the interest on the mortgage at a variable rate. The variable rate under the Swap Agreement is based on the same notional amount as the underlying mortgage, which is $2,402,816.
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.
NCRC recorded an asset for the fair market value of the interest rate swap as of December 31, 2016 in the amount of $14,209, which represents the fair value of the future differences in interest to be paid and received under the Swap Agreement over the remaining term of the Swap Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2016, a gain in fair market value of $19,423 has been realized and is included in other expense on the statement of activities.
Note Payable La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
During the year ended June 30, 2008, NCRC acquired a partially constructed project from the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency for $24,000,000 pursuant to the Amended and Restated Affordability Housing Agreement dated October 31, 2007. NCRC gave the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency a Note in the same amount of $24,000,000. The $24,000,000 represented the amount that the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency had spent on construction as of the date of the sale of the partially completed project to NCRC. The note does not bear interest and is automatically forgiven five years after the date that Vista Dunes Housing Partners, L.P. (an entity in which NCRC holds a general partner interest through an affiliate) executes its permanent loan (which occurred on February 1, 2009), as long as NCRC does not violate any of the agreement covenants. On October 31, 2007, NCRC sold the project to Vista Dunes Housing Partners, L.P. for $5,200,000. The sales price of $5,200,000 was determined by an appraisal commissioned by NCRC. NCRC believes that the fair value of the project's assets sold to Vista Dunes Housing Partners, L.P. is $5,200,000. Therefore, NCRC believes that the fair value of the project assets acquired from the Agency, and the note payable to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency, is $5,200,000. The fair value of the $24,000,000 note at face value is set at $5,200,000. On February 10, 2015 the loan was re-conveyed and will be amortized over the remaining compliance period of the Vista Dunes project. Consequently, the entire $5,200,000 was classified as temporarily restricted net assets on the statement of financial position. Release of restriction on this grant commenced in February 2015 and will continue over a 46-year period on the straight line basis.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, $113,043 of temporarily restricted net assets was released, recognized as income and is included in other income on the statement of activities.
Amortization in subsequent years will be approximately $113,043 per year. As of December 31, 2016, NCRC has a balance of temporarily restricted net assets of $4,983,334 attributable to the loan forgiveness.
There were additional advances from the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency totaling $1,910,067.
The entire amount was forgiven and is now classified as temporarily restricted net assets on the statement of financial position. Release of restriction on this grant commenced in February 2015 and will continue over a 46-year period on the straight line basis. During the year ended December 31, 2016, $38,201 of temporarily restricted net assets was released, recognized as income and is included in other income on the statement of activities. Amortization in subsequent years will be approximately $38,201 per year. As of December 31, 2016, NCRC has a balance of temporarily restricted net assets of $1,754,603 attributable to the forgiveness of advances. 384 APPENDIX

$ 584,487,265
Interest capitalized into project development costs and property, equipment and improvements totaled $608,323 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Note 7 - Fair value
As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the interest rate swap asset of $14,209 is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. No other assets or liabilities are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2016. The following table presents the financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Interest rate swap at
December 31, 2016 $ - $ 14,209 $ - $ 14,209
On a recurring basis, NCRC measures its interest rate swap at its estimated fair value. In determining the fair value of its interest rate swap derivative, NCRC uses the present value of expected cash flows based on market observable interest rate yield curve commensurate with the term of the instrument. NCRC incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own 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 NCRC. However, NCRC determined that as of December 31, 2016, the impact of the credit valuation adjustments were 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 8 - Extended affordability agreement
During the year ended June 30, 2008, NCRC received a $42,500,000 donation under the terms of an Extended Affordability Agreement with the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency"), in which NCRC agreed to add certain units to the existing below market units currently specified at four affordable housing properties (the "properties") named in the agreement and to keep all the below market units at each property at the agreed upon below market rate for a minimum of 99 years. The agreement to keep the properties as regulated affordable housing for a minimum of 99 years is a restriction on NCRC. The restriction is removed as progress is made in satisfying the 99-year term of the rent affordability restriction in the agreement. Consequently, the entire $42,500,000 was classified as temporarily restricted net assets on the statement of financial position. Amortization of this grant (included in temporarily restricted net asset) commenced in December 2007 over the 99-year term on the straight line basis. During the year ended December APPENDIX 385
National Community Renaissance of California
Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
28 31, 2016, $429,294 of temporarily restricted net assets was released to unrestricted net assets.
Amortization in subsequent years will be approximately $429,300 per year. As of December 31, 2016, NCRC has a balance of temporarily restricted net assets of $38,646,544 attributable to the extended affordability agreement.
Note 9 - Pledge Agreement grant
On July 24, 1994, NCRC executed a Pledge Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Rancho Cucamonga (the "Redevelopment Agency"). The purpose of the agreement is to enable the Redevelopment Agency to provide NCRC funds on an annual basis over a period of thirty years to assist NCRC in acquiring qualifying apartment projects from the Redevelopment Agency's setaside funds. As a result of this agreement NCRC acquired three qualifying projects. NCRC executed a Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for each of the three projects which impose tenant income and rent restrictions. Over time, the pledge agreement was amended to satisfy certain requirements of the Redevelopment Agency. Currently the Redevelopment Agency is providing annual funding in the amount of $337,600 for the three projects combined which is deposited into the project's replacement reserve accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Redevelopment Agency funded $508,800 under the Pledge Agreement, which is included in temporarily restricted net assets on the statement of activities. The funding is accounted for as temporarily restricted grant income. As expenditures from the replacement reserves are made, temporarily restricted net assets are released in the same amount.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, $503,893 of temporarily restricted net assets were released into unrestricted net assets. As of December 31, 2016, NCRC has a balance of temporarily restricted net assets of $4,229,434 attributable to the Pledge Agreement grant.
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 which calls for dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The successor agency is the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and continued funding of the pledge agreement grant is included in the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency's Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule.
Note 10 - Retirement plan
National Community Renaissance (the "Company"), a related party, maintains a Voluntary 401(k) Retirement Plan ("Plan") covering substantially all full-time employees of the NCRC. Participants are immediately vested in their contribution and the Company's special matching contribution plus earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of the accounts is based on years of service. A year of service is given for each Plan year in which a participant performs 1,000 or more hours of service.
After two years of service, a participant becomes 20% vested. Each service year thereafter will increase the participant's vesting by 20%, with 100% vesting after six years.
Discretionary contributions are determined by management and are allocated to all eligible employees based upon compensation. For the period ended December 31, 2016, $395,366 was contributed by the NCRC to the retirement plan.
Note 11 - Related party transactions
In the ordinary course of business, NCRC has significant related party transactions with affiliates. It provides a considerable amount of funding in connection with the development of projects. It also provides development services, construction management services and property management services. In certain cases, NCRC pays operating expenses on behalf of affiliates, which are reimbursed to NCRC on a monthly basis. In certain instances however, such as when individual 386 APPENDIX

29 properties may be experiencing cash flow difficulties, repayment may be delayed, providing the individual properties with a source of funds.
NCRC earns construction contractor's fees, supervisory management and asset management fees, construction supervisory management fees, social services fees and property management fees in connection with services rendered to consolidated affiliated entities.
Advances due from affiliates
The amounts loaned by NCRC primarily represent development loans and other entity expenses to affiliates. These loans are unsecured and due on demand and some bear interest. As of December 31, 2016, such amounts due are $929,274.
From time-to-time, NCRC advances funds to NCRDC to cover operating deficits. As of December 31, 2016, such advances totaled $6,374,364, and are included in advances due from affiliates on the statement of financial position. NCRDC's management has provided to the management of NCRC their plans, as well as their underlying estimates and assumptions, to repay the advances.
Management of NCRC has reviewed the plans, estimates and assumptions and accordingly has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is required at December 31, 2016.
General and administrative expense allocation
NCRC allocates 7% of its total general and administrative expenses to NCRDC. The allocation is based on a combination of total organization head count and total properties managed by each organization.
Note 12 - Guaranties
In its role as general partner of the various Housing Affiliates, NCRC 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.
Development deficit guaranty
NCRC, or its affiliates, are 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. This obligation terminates at achievement of break-even operations, as defined. As of December 31, 2016, no amounts were due under this guaranty. As of December 31, 2016, the amount of potential obligation cannot be estimated.
APPENDIX 387
National Community Renaissance of California

December 31, 2016
30 Operating deficit guaranty
NCRC, or its affiliates, are obligated to make non-interest bearing loans to cover operating cash shortfalls which are repayable through available cash flow. The guaranties are for a period of three to five years, commencing with the break-even date, as defined. As of December 31, 2016, no amounts were due under this guaranty. The following are the projects that are under the operating deficit guaranty, the period covered and the amount of the guaranty:

Avenida Serra Housing Partners 03/16 - 03/21 110,000
Recapture guaranty
In the event of a tax credit recapture of low-income housing tax credits previously received by the investor limited partners or investment members in housing affiliates, NCRC 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, commencing with the breakeven date, as defined. NCRC shall not be liable for a recapture event caused by a change in law or actions of the investors or special limited partners. As of December 31, 2016, no amounts were due under these guaranties.
Note 13 - Concentration of credit risk
NCRC maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. All reserves are held in NCRC's name. At times, these balances may exceed the federal insurance limits; however, NCRC 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, 2016.
Note 14 - Commitments and contingencies
Grant and property use restrictions
Many of the properties owned and operated by NCRC were 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. NCRC 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
Four of the Housing Affiliates have entered into rental assistance contracts with HUD. These contracts have various terms and require the projects to operate as low-income housing properties and to obtain HUD approval of all rent increases.

Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
31 Low-income housing tax credits
In connection with the Housing Affiliates who receive low-income housing tax credits, the Housing Affiliate'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 investor partner or member.
Litigation
NCRC 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 NCRC.
Economic concentrations
NCRC invests in rental property primarily 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.
Other
As general partners in Housing Affiliates, NCRC may be subject to other liabilities, should the affected Housing Affiliates' assets become insufficient to meet their obligations. In the opinion of management, future revenues and the value of the underlying assets of each of these Housing Affiliates will be sufficient to meet ongoing and future obligations.
Note 15 - Subsequent events
Events that occur after the balance sheet 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 balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date require disclosure in the accompanying notes.
Management evaluated the activity of NCRC through June 30, 2017, the date the consolidating financial statements were available to be issued, and concluded that no other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidating financial statements or disclosure in the notes to consolidating financial statements.

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards To the Board of Directors
National Community Renaissance of California
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the consolidating financial statements of National Community Renaissance of California, which comprise the consolidating statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidating statements of activities, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidating financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 2017 which included an emphasis of matter paragraph related to the adoption of a new accounting principle as indicated at page 3.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the consolidating financial statements, we considered National Community Renaissance of California's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidating financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of National Community Renaissance of California's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of National Community Renaissance of California's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control, that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether National Community Renaissance of California's consolidating financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
APPENDIX 395
38 Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program and on Internal Control over Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance To the Board of Directors
National Community Renaissance of California
Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program
We have audited National Community Renaissance of California's compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on National Community Renaissance of California's major federal program for the year ended December 31, 2016. National Community Renaissance of California's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its federal program.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for National Community Renaissance of California's major federal program based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance").
Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about National Community Renaissance of California's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for the major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of National Community Renaissance of California's compliance.
Opinion on the Major Federal Program
In our opinion, National Community Renaissance of California complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended December 31, 2016.
APPENDIX 397
40 Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of National Community Renaissance of California is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered National Community Renaissance of California's internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of National Community Renaissance of California's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of our testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Uptown Open
Space Vision Plan
Plan not only benefits park planners
and city officials, but it also provides
the community a clear vision for a
greener community. Unique to the
development of the Plan is the level
of participation the community has
contributed throughout its entire
process.
As a result, there were 141 open space
ideas that were identified by community
members with approximately 1,500
votes cast for all of the potential
open space trends.
Once completed the Uptown Open
Space Plan will be transformative
to the economic, environmental and
public health of North Long Beach.
A prototype of the community’s top
priority project was conducted this
year in North Long Beach to celebrate
the efforts of the Plan.
The Uptown Open Space Plan identifies
new and creative opportunities to fill
needs in the community for publicly
accessible open space and recreation
facilities in North Long Beach.
The plan includes existing resources,
demographic snapshot, previous plans,
community voice, opportunity types,
relevant case studies, a comprehensive
open space vision, specific project
profiles and implementation strategies.
It also develops a blueprint for the
creation and preservation of open
spaces, recreation facilities and parks.
The plan provides a framework for
sustainability expanding public open
space access for residents in the
study area. The Uptown Open Space
To get robust
community input,
the project
team conducted
a series of engaging
and interactive
workshops asking
residents to identify
areas of greatest
open space need
with the dual
intent of teaching
participants the
challenges of
planning for park
and recreational
space.

development program based on their
feedback as well. We have also been
able to meet with and communicate
with the various retail tenants of the
property. We have 100% occupancy
on the property and all of the
tenants have remained since we took
over as owners. We look forward to
continuing to work with them as we
move towards the build out of the
project. Additionally, we met with
a sub-committee of the Planning
Commission of the City of Santa Ana
early on in the design phase. We
were able to respond to their ideas
for improvement and incorporate a
number of their suggestions into the
plan.
