Proposed Resolution - 8/9/2022REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF SALT LAKE CITY RESOLUTION NO. _______________ Affordable Housing – Emergency Gap Housing Development Loan Program (HDLP) Funding Allocations RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF SALT LAKE CITY APPROVING CITYWIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT FUNDING ALLOCATIONS. WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (“RDA”) was created to transact the business and exercise the powers provided for in the Utah Community Reinvestment Agency Act (the “Act”). WHEREAS, the Act provides that tax increment funds may be used for the purpose of increasing the affordable housing supply within the boundaries of Salt Lake City. WHEREAS, the Housing Development Loan Program (“HDLP”) was created to enable the RDA to incentivize the development and preservation of affordable housing. WHEREAS, on February 8th, 2022, pursuant to Resolution No. R-1-2022, the RDA Board of Directors (“Board”) repealed and replaced that prior policy adopted per Resolution R-4-2021 with the updated Housing Funds Allocation Policy (“Funds Policy”), which establishes policies with respect to dedicating and directing resources for the HDLP based on funding source (“Housing Funds”). WHEREAS, on March 8th, 2022, pursuant to Resolution No. R-2-2022, the Board adopted the amended and restated Housing Development Loan Program Policy (the “HDLP Policy”) to provide a centralized application, underwriting, and approval process for accessing the Housing Funds, including granting the authority for review and approval of applications by the RDA Finance Committee (“Finance Committee”). WHEREAS, in June 2021, the Board adopted the 2021-2022 budget, which set aside approximately $2,000,000 for Emergency Gap Financing through the HDLP. Subsequently, a prior allocation of $1,082,500 that was awarded to an applicant became available following a withdrawn loan request, resulting in available Emergency Gap Housing Funds totaling $3,082,500. WHEREAS, the allocation of funds is contingent upon an application and review process administered by the RDA to facilitate funding of qualified projects that meet the 2022 Emergency Gap Funds Guidelines + Application Handbook Threshold Requirements and the goals established by the HDLP. WHEREAS, through a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”), the RDA administered a loan application and review process pursuant to the HDLP Policy and the RDA’s Housing Funding Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (“Funding Priorities”) that Attachment F: HDLP Funding Allocation Resolution Page 29 resulted in four requests for funding totaling $3,750,000. WHEREAS, on July 13, 2022, the Finance Committee reviewed the HDLP applications and recommended funding allocations and preliminary terms as described in on Exhibit A. WHEREAS, based on the Finance Committee’s recommendations, RDA staff recommends that the Board approve the funding allocations and preliminary terms as described in Exhibit A. WHEREAS, following approval of funding allocations and preliminary terms as set forth in Exhibit B, the RDA shall provide a conditional commitment period during which approved applicants shall have the opportunity to obtain needed financial, legal, and regulatory approvals, as well as satisfy other conditions determined by the RDA, to finalize the loan terms. WHEREAS, pursuant to the HDLP Policy, applicants that successfully meet the conditions of the conditional commitment shall be invited to execute a Letter of Commitment to finalize the loan terms, subject to a set of conditions precedent to closing of the loan. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD that it approves the funding allocations and preliminary terms as further described in Exhibit B, subject to revisions that do not materially affect the rights and obligations of the RDA hereunder. For approved applicants that successfully meet the required conditions, the Board authorizes the Executive Director to negotiate and execute the conditional commitment letter, the Letter of Commitment, the loan agreements, and other relevant documents consistent with the funding allocations and terms contained in Exhibit B and incorporating such other terms and conditions as recommended by the City Attorney’s office.
