G��'�e�i�- ���-�..--,���,. � Name: Karen Meunier Title: Interim Secretary City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/2/2004 CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS WEEK DATE: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 LOG NAME: 05FWCALLOCATION REFERENCE NO.: G-14559 SUBJECT: Authorization to Re-Allocate $50,000 for Start-up Operating Capital for Fort Worth Central Community Development Corporation RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: a. Authorize the designation and reallocation of $50,000 to support the start-up of Fort Worth Central Community Development Corporation from CDBG funds designated by City Council to establish a private sector home improvement loan fund. b. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Fort Worth Central Community Development Corporation to expend the allocated funds consistent with the intended use of the fund. c. Authorize the City Manager to amend the contract as needed, provided the amendment is consistent with applicable laws and regulations and with the goals of providing support to Fort Worth Central Community Development Corporation and its home rehabilitation loan fund. DISCUSSION: The City Council has endorsed the creation of a private-sector loan fund providing home rehabilitation loans to homeowners in the City of Fort Worth to support the City's strategies for neighborhood revitalization. The Fort Worth Central Community Development Corporation (FWC CDC) has been formed as a Texas corporation with the legal entity to establish and manage that loan fund. FWC CDC has established a$15 million equity investment goal to provide loans to homeowners in the City of Fort Worth whose households earn up to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI) as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The loan fund will provide three types of loans to address neighborhood revitalization efforts: a) home improvement; b) renovation/ refinance, and; c) purchase/rehabilitation. Additionally, the fund will provide homeowners with counseling and education to enhance mutual success of the fund's objectives. The target market of the loan fund is the Central City households earning less than 80 percent of the AMI. Initial equity from lending institutions totaling $1.5 million has been committed to date. No less than 60% of loans will be made to these targeted areas and populations, with the goal being 90%. FWC CDC has retained Simmons-Mahome LP to provide incorporation and equity agreement documents and general legal counsel services. The funding of the initial equity commitments is pending finalization of the Shareholder Agreement document, the draft of which is currently being reviewed by lending institutions represented on the initial FWC CDC Board of Directors. This Board has nominated additional members representing the City and community sectors. In support of the goals of FWC CDC, the City of Fort Worth has committed $700,000 from its HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) XXIX and XXX entitlement funds to this initiative. These funds will be utilized to establish a loan loss reserve for loan guaranties, borrower subsidies in the form of Logname: OSFWCALLOCATION Page 1 of 2 interest rate buy-downs, and start-up capital. The estimated leveraging ratio of the City's financial investment to the FWC CDC investment goal is $1 to $13.2. The projected use of funds is as follows: Loan Loss Reserve-37%; Interest Rate Buy-Downs-56%; Start-Up Capital-7%. Start-Up Capital will be used for the following expenses: Legal; Accounting; Insurance; Marketing and Homeowner Education Development; Administrative costs including consultants, training, and professional membership costs, and; initial operating deficits. The City will also provide in-kind staff- support until a nonprofit agency with commensurate capacities is identified. The City will enter into a Contractual Agreement with the FWC CDC delineating the roles and responsibilities of both parties. The Housing Department recommends that start-up capital in the amount of $50,000 be designated from its $700,000 allocation to allow the initiative to proceed with ramp-up activities. The program will operate in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
