9. Los Angeles Housing Department CHANGES FOR 2011 Limits on Awards Two per developer (or any partners) per round. No more than two awards to senior projects per round.

10. Los Angeles Housing Department TERM OF COMMITMENT Limit to two TCAC rounds under NOFA I and one TCAC round under NOFA II. Commitments for MHP projects will be valid only for the HCD funding cycle. Unsuccessful projects may be considered for bond conversion after the second round.

11. Los Angeles Housing Department SUBSIDY BOOSTS LAHD has committed $10 million in AHTF general funds to the New Generation Fund as a loan loss guarantee reserve. The NOFA currently provides a 5% subsidy boost to projects proposing 9% tax credits that have an NGF or SHLF commitment. Adequate resources are needed in order for these projects to be competitive in the funding rounds for their proposed leveraging sources. An increase to 15% would facilitate the forward movement of these projects and prevent defaults on the NGF/SHLF loans.

12. Los Angeles Housing Department PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING How much should be allocated to supportive housing projects? Goal: Match 33% of Leveraging Sources TCAC Non-Profit Homeless & SRO Set Asides MHP Homeless Youth NOFA: $30.0 million MHP Supportive Housing NOFA: $80.0 million

13. Los Angeles Housing Department SUSTAINABLE BUILDING INCENTIVE Changes to the California Energy Code and the CalGreen Code may supersede sustainable building incentive requirement. Currently, projects must exceed Title 24 Energy Standards by a minimum of 10% for new construction, or increase existing energy efficiency by at least 25% for rehabilitation projects.

14. Los Angeles Housing Department SUSTAINABLE BUILDING INCENTIVE For energy efficiency beyond Title 24 requirements, the percentage must exceed: 25% - for Low-Rise Multifamily (3 or fewer habitable stories) 20% - for High-Rise Multifamily (4 or more habitable stories)

15. Los Angeles Housing Department AT-RISK PROJECTS Funding for preservation projects was suspended for 2010 pending a study funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation. LAHD entered into an agreement with The California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC) to complete the study and develop criteria for evaluating projects’ true risk of conversion.

16. Los Angeles Housing Department AT-RISK PROJECTS The At-Risk Criteria will award points in the following categories: Strength of the Rental Market Number of Units Covered by Section 8 Contract Remaining Term of the Existing Section 8 Contract Status of Long Term Section 8 Contract Renewal Status of HUD Commitment for Section 8 Mark up to Market (MU2M) Contract Renewal Section 8 Underwriting with 90% of Market Rents Ratio of Committed Private Permanent Financing to Total Development Cost Size of Project Property Condition

17. Los Angeles Housing Department AT-RISK PROJECTS The At-Risk Assessment Criteria would render an “At-Risk Score” for a project’s true and immediate risk of conversion to market rate rents. The At-Risk Score would provide a quantitative tool to assist LAHD in deciding how best to award AHTF dollars to these projects.

18. Los Angeles Housing Department AT-RISK PROJECTS In addition to financing these projects through the NOFA, the NGF’s revolving loan fund will be used to provide the interim financing needed for the acquisition of Preservation/At-Risk projects, while those projects are in the process of renewing subsidy contracts through the MU2M program. The NGF’s short-term acquisition/predevelopment loans originated through nonprofit lenders would be repaid once the Section 8 contract was renewed and the AHTF and other loans are closed.
