DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Orange Pacific Associates, L.P., a partnership of Urban Pacific Multi- Housing, LLC, TPC Holdings V, LLC, and PATH Ventures plans to develop a 42 -unit affordable senior rental housing project at 184 North Prospect Street, which will provide 40 one - bedroom units and two two - bedroom units including one manager's unit. The estimated sources of funding follow: Source Agency Amount Conventional Loan Private Lender $ 1,500,000 HOME Funds - 11 Very Low Income Units City of Orange 928,387 Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Funds - 10 Units County of Orange/State of California 1,216,650 Nine Percent Tax Credit Equity California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) 8,701,964 Total $ 12,347,001 On June 25, 2013, Council appropriated HOME funds for the $928,387 loan and authorized execution of a commitment letter (Attachment 1), which enabled the developer to apply for tax credits in the July 2013 round. The project did not receive a tax credit allocation in that round, and the original funding commitment was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. On December 10, 2013 Council approved an extension of the HOME funding commitment to July 12, 2014 (Attachment 2), which enabled the developer to apply for tax credits in the March 2014 round. The July 12 commitment expiration date corresponds with the expiration date of the entitlements for the project. The developer recently advised the City that the project will not be allocated tax credits from the March 2014 round, and submitted a request to extend the HOME funding commitment for one year (Attachment 3). The extension would enable the developer to submit applications for up to two future tax credit rounds. The deadline for the next tax credit round is July 1, 2014. Council action is required to authorize the City Manager to execute the attached letter (Attachment 4), which would extend the commitment of HOME funds in the amount of $928,387 for the project to July 12, 2015. Extension of the HOME funding commitment will be contingent on the extension of the entitlements. The developer submitted a separate request to extend the entitlements for the project, which is addressed in a separate staff report. The Affordable Housing Loan Agreement, which will further describe the terms and conditions of the City's HOME loan, will be presented for Council consideration at a future meeting.
