RE: FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Development Funding Strategy and
Priorities
REQUESTED ACTION: Briefing on the FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Development Funding
Strategy and consider approval of a resolution establishing annual
Funding Priorities.
POLICY ITEM: Affordable housing.
BUDGET IMPACTS: N/A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Redevelopment Agency of
Salt Lake City (“RDA”) recently adopted two policies to facilitate the funding and development of
affordable housing within City boundaries. First, the RDA Housing Allocations Funds Policy
(“Funds Policy”) establishes guidelines for allocating and directing resources for the development
and preservation of housing by funding source. Second, the Housing Development Loan Program
Policy (“HDLP Policy”) creates a program that centralizes the application, underwriting, and
approval process across all funding sources, providing a one-stop-shop for community partners to
access resources for the development and preservation of affordable housing.
Both policies contemplate that annually, prior to the annual budget process, the RDA shall present
to the Board an Affordable Housing Development Funding Strategy (“Funding Strategy”). The
Funding Strategy shall include a projected amount of revenue to be allocated to housing, proposed
funding allocations for housing activities, and proposed funding priorities (“Funding Priorities”) for
the upcoming fiscal year. This will allow the RDA to be flexible to address current needs, leverage
current opportunities, coordinate with other city resources, and allow funding priorities to align with
evolving plans and policies.
Pursuant to the Funds Policy, the Board shall consider the Funding Strategy as part of the annual
budget adoption process. Additionally, the HDLP Policy provides that the annual Funding Priorities,
as proposed through the Funding Strategy, shall be subject to approval by the Board. Accordingly,
the Funding Strategy is provided as Attachment A for the Board’s review, and the FY 2021-22
Affordable Housing Funding Priorities resolution is provided as Attachment B for the Board’s
consideration. These documents are intended to provide supplemental information and policy
direction on the RDA’s budget regarding housing activities and not replace the RDA’s annual budget
process.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION:
• March 2021: The Board adopted the Housing Development Loan Program Policy.
• February 2021: The Board adopted the RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy was briefed
by RDA Staff on a draft Housing Development Loan Program Policy.
• December 2020: RDA Staff presented a draft RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy
Resolution and briefed RAC and the Board on the forthcoming draft Housing Development
Loan Program Policy.
• July 2020: RDA Staff proposed two draft frameworks that were envisioned to be expanded
into legislative policies that would carry out the Board’s direction and intent to 1) direct the
allocation of resources for affordable housing development and preservation and 2)
consolidate loan administration for the development of affordable housing into a single
location.
• January - February 2020: RDA Staff briefed RAC and the Board on the Draft Salt Lake City
Housing Implementation Framework, a framework that outlines the various roles and
responsibilities across City divisions and departments for the implementation of housing.
• June 2019 and June 2020: The Board and Salt Lake City Council allocated sales tax funds to
the RDA with legislative intent of consolidating loan administration for the development of
affordable housing into a single location.
• May 2018 to March 2019: RDA Staff presented a series of briefings to RAC and the Board
regarding housing, including on topics such as historical practices and funding allocations,
statutory requirements, and interdepartmental coordination.
• December 2017: The Board adopted a motion directing RDA Staff to draft an RDA Housing
Allocation Policy.
ATTACHMENTS:
A. FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Development Funding Strategy
B. FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Funding Priorities Resolution
The Fiscal Year 2022 (“FY 22”) Salt Lake City Affordable Housing Funding Strategy

FY22 AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNDING STRATEGY 4DRAFT: FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES
The HDLP provides a centralized application, underwriting, and approval process across all funding sources,
providing a one-stop-shop for community partners to access resources for the development and preservation
of affordable housing. In FY22, the RDA will release three notices of funding availability through the HDLP. A
competitive Citywide NOFA of $5,319,402 will be available for projects located within Salt Lake City municipal
boundaries, with a minimum of $394,000 prioritized for projects located in RDA project areas. An Emergency
Gap Financing NOFA of $1,000,000 will be released on an open-ended basis for projects, with a majority of units
at or below 60% AMI, that have an unexpected financial gap due to unforeseen circumstances. Finally, a High
Opportunity NOFA will be released on an open-ended basis for projects located in designated High Opportunity
census tracts - refer to Appendix C.

To be utilized for a pilot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) program targeted to the 9 Line CRA. ADUs are gaining
momentum across the country as part of the solution to address the affordable housing crisis. By establishing
a pilot ADU program, the RDA will mitigate some of the barriers for homeowners to construct ADUs including
cost and lack of available financing. In addition to fostering the development of ADUs, the program will require
homeowners to rent their ADU units at a rate that is affordable to low and moderate income households.
