La Belle, Deputy City Administrator/Econ - Prepared by: FISCAL YEAR 1989-90 REDEVELOPMENT 20% HOUSING SET-ASIDE Subject: BUDGET RECOMMENDATION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN /:?", #l 7 Consistent with Council Policy? >d Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception ;qt a Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: On October 17, 1988 the Economic Development Department submitted a report to the Redevelopment Agency regarding the various uses for the Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside Funds. At that meeting the Agency established a Housing Committee to be represented by three City Council/Redevelopment Agency members and four citizen representatives for the purpose of reviewing a potential implementation plan for these funds as well as reviewing other housing issues. The committee met through the months of March, April and May with the Economic Development staff and have prepared the fiscal year 1989-90 20% Housing Set-aside Budget and implementation plan for the Agency's review and approval. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the fiscal year 1989-90 20% Housing set-aside budget as presented. 2. Approve the attached resolutions (2) determining that the use of the 20% set-aside funds outside the project areas will benefit the project areas, and authorizing the expenditure of such funds. ANALYSIS: The 20% Housing set-aside funds are defined as the minimum percentage of tax increment funds generated from the Redevelopment project areas which must be utilized by the Agency to increase or improve the housing for low and moderate income households. If the Redevelopment Agency does not utilize these funds within five years of accumulating over $500,000, the funds will be transferred to the local Housing Authority. The fiscal year 1989-90 budget offers a wide variety of programs to meet the needs of low (80% of county median income) and moderate (120% of county median income) income residents of Huntington Beach. The programs are developed to assist Huntington Beach residents in both the rental market and with a first time home ownership program. The fiscal year 1989-90 budget presented herein represents an implementation plan for all available set-aside funds as required by state law, however, the actual program implementation will allow for these funds to be expended over the next three fiscal years.

City of Huntington Beach Resolution 3. Summary Report 4. Fiscal Year 1989-90 Budget 5. Fiscal Year 1989-90 Budget Narrative DLB/EN:jar 5008r SUMMARY REPORT Housing Committee Review of 20% Set-Aside Program Fiscal Year 1999-90 During the months of March, April, and May of 1989, three City Council members and four Huntington Beach residents comprising the Housing Committee met to discuss the issue of increasing and improving the supply of affordable housing in Huntington Beach. The Redevelopment funds specifically set-aside for this purpose are referred to as "20% Set-Aside Funds" which is a reference to the State mandated minimum percentage of Redevelopment tax increment which must be provided for affordable housing purposes. The committee recognized three areas where these funds could be effectively utilized in Huntington Beach: 1. To finance rehabilitation projects to improve the housing conditions for low and moderate income households. 2. Assist low income households currently renting in Huntington Beach by reducing their rental payments to 30% of their income through non-subsidy approaches. 3. To offer down payment assistance to moderate income first time home buyers currently renting in Huntington Beach. These three identified objectives evolved into six individual projects which are represented in the fiscal year 1989-90 budget. These projects offer needed assistance in the provision and upgrading of affordable housing in Huntington Beach. The fiscal year 1989-90 20% set-aside budget represents the first year of implementation of a comprehensive affordable housing program. The current funding available is $3,747,137.00 and combined with the Federal Community Development Block Grant Program budget of $1,310,000.00 will allow for a-wide variety of innovative housing programs. The adoption of a set-aside program and working budget is the first step in providing local assistance to the National problem of affordable housing. If the City does not implement a program with the set-aside funds within a five year period from accumulating those funds, the State automatically transfers the unused funds to the County Housing Authority. The City would in essence lose local control of this funding and the Housing Authority would undertake affordable housing projects within the City with minimal direction from the City Council. Upon adoption of a 20% set-aside budget, the Economic Development Department will prepare guidelines and procedures for implementing the individual projects to be reviewed initially by the Housing Committee and then the City Council.

PROGRAM NAME Economic Housing 20% SET-ASIDE Development HOUSING PROGRAM PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1989-90 20% Housing set-aside projected use of funds. I. Rehabilitation. These funds will be utilized for Rehabilitation projects benefitting low and moderate income households where federal CDBG funds are found to be too restrictive. These funds will be used on large rental unit projects where Davis/Bacon Federal prevailing wage requirements would normally apply under the CDBG Program and for carport conversions to enclosed garages in the Oakview Project Area. $650.000.00 2. Multi-Family Unit Interest Write-Down. This program will offer a lump sum write down of an existing interest bearing note to reduce the debt service on existing multi-family apartment complex. In return the property owner will execute with the city a recorded covenant requiring affordable rental rates to low and moderate income households for the longest feasible time but not less than fifteen years. $1,000.000.00 3. First Time Buyer Deferred Payment Loan: This program will establish a loan pool for down payment assistance to qualifying low and moderate income first time home buyers. A Deed of Trust and affordable housing covenant will be secured against the property to ensure the use to be owner occupied and the loan to be paid back to the Agency with a proportionate percentage share of the equity at the time the property is sold or title transferred. The covenant will designate the use for the longest feasible time but not less than ten years. $1.000.000.00 4. Relocation Assistance: This program will offer relocation assistance to low income households residing in overcrowded conditions within neighborhood enhancement target areas. With this relocation, the agency will work with the Orange County Housing Authority to qualify the tenants for section 8 assistance. Although this program will improve the housing conditions for Iow income households, the eligibility of this program is still under consideration by Agency Counsel. $100.000.000 5. Private Market Leveraging Program: These funds will be used to increase the supply of affordable housing units in new construction projects. These funds will be used to writedown the development costs of a housing construction project in exchange for the set-aside of a designated number of units for low and moderate income households for the longest feasible time but not less than fifteen years. The number of units set-aside will be a proportionate percentage of the Agency's contribution to the overall construction costs for the project. $777.137.00 6. Mobile Home Assistance: These funds will be used to assist low income mobile home owners with a variety of eligible programs including but not limited to: Relocation assistance due to city/agency action(total funding assistance limited to the set-aside funds contributed from an individual project).
