Tracy Tran provided an overview of the 2022 Notice of Funding Availability(NOFA) recently issued to solicit
applications for approximately$6 million available through the Housing Development Loan Program
(HDLP). Ms.Tran said, based on the Redevelopment Agency(RDA) Board of Directors(Board) FY23
priorities, applicants were required to include deeply affordable units(40%AMI and below)and/or affordable
family sized units(three bedrooms or more). Ms. Tran said all new construction projects were subject to the
RDA Sustainable Development Policy, and all rehabilitation projects receiving $900,000 or more are also
subject to the policy, noting that all applicants met or intend to meet these requirements.
Ms. Tran said 11 applications were submitted with over$18 million in requests, one application was
withdrawn, and one application modified their request to be in line with the requirements for a total of 10
applications with funding requests totaling over$16 million. Ms. Tran explained that an applicant from last
year withdrew their$2.36 million loan commitment. RDA staff recommended incorporating those funds into
the current NOFA, increasing the funding amount to$8.36 million,subject to approval by the RDA Board.
Staff requested recommendations for the following funding amounts:
1. $6 million available.
2. $2.36 million if approved by the RDA Board.
Ms. Tran said based on the HDLP Guidelines, all applications were evaluated on the following criteria:
• Alignment with project priorities—projects may qualify for interest rate reductions by meeting
certain project priorities.
• Content and quality of the project narrative.
• Qualifications and experience of the applicant and development team.
• Content, effectiveness, and appropriateness of the budget, sources and uses, operating proforma,
and related assumptions.
• The readiness of the project to proceed to construction.
• Building and site design.

Danny Walz opened the floor to questions and invited the committee to share their recommendations.
Questions:
• Is the Committee able to adjust the amounts of each request? Ms. Tran said they can adjust the
amounts as needed and each applicant was able to define a minimum and other funding sources
they would seek if they do not receive the full amount requested.
• Regarding Atkinson Stacks,what is the target population being served, is this permanent
supportive housing, and will they be applying for tax credits? If so,they will need to have project-
based vouchers? Mr. Taylor confirmed this project is permanent supporting housing,they are
targeted to disabled and homeless individuals.A representative with Housing Assistance
Management Enterprise also clarified that they have vouchers already and plan to apply for
permanent support of housing in the next round of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits(LIHTC).
• Liberty Comer has not applied for the 9%credits yet.What happens if they don't receive the 9%
tax credits?Chris Zarek, a representative with Cowboy Partners clarified they plan to apply for the
9%tax credits in the next round. If they are not awarded the 9%tax credits,they would transition
those units back to the 4%round at the later part of next year.
• Liberty Comer shows a deferred fee of$8.4 Million, but in the uses it also shows a developer fee
of$8.4 Million.Are you deferring the entire fee?Cowboy Partners confirmed they are deferring the
entire fee and will contribute the site;they will also be contributing the equity. The rest has a
mortgage on it that will be paid as they bring in construction financing.
• What is the current ownership status for Atkinson Stacks? Mr. Taylor explained The Housing
Authority has an option to purchase the building but does not own it yet.
• What is the current ownership status of 9Ten West?Are there any built-in remediation costs?And
is any remediation expected due to the existing Laundromat? Karl Niederer confirmed that Phase I
and Phase 11 inspections were completed. The only recommendation was to put a vapor barrier
down and nothing beyond that. Mr. Niederer also stated that it is currently owned by the folks
operating the laundromat but noted they do have a Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Peter Makowski made a motion to approve the Committees recommendation on the scoring of the NOFA
Projects. Claudia O'Grady seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion passed unanimously.
The Committee discussed whether to make the funding commitment contingent on the projects receipt of
the 9%tax credit. Many were in favor of this; however, Tony Milner stated his concern about the statewide
competitiveness of the 9%credits and recommended that instead of tying up those funds, projects be able
to use these funds to keep moving their projects forward.
After hearing concerns Chair Walz asked if anyone wanted to make any changes to the recommendation
regarding the contingency on 9%tax credits. There were no changes.
Claudia made a motion to recommend a contingency on the projects that need 9%tax credits, that if they
don't get funded in the June 2023 round, the commitment of RDA funds would expire. Brent Beck seconded
the motion. Upon roll call, the motion passed with the following breakdown:
YES NO
