§302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
The allocated funds will be used for Activity 2. Specifically, the City, through a loan agreement with a highly qualified nonprofit affordable housing developer, will provide predevelopment funds to jumpstart design and entitlement work on the project. The project is anticipated to provide 83 units of senior affordable housing, where these funds will be directed, as well as 65 units of family affordable housing. §302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
By investing PLHA funds in predevelopment of affordable rental housing the City is directly investing in the development of affordable housing. This project will utilize LIHTC financing, which targets rents averaging 55% AMI, requiring that there will be an addition of units for households at or below 60% AMI within the newly constructied project.
