Attachment V Cumulative Page 1 of 2 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/22/2007 DATE: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 LOG NAME: 05NEIGHBORHOOD REFERENCE NO.: **G-15731 SUBJECT: Authorize Award of $898,796 in HOME Investment Partnership Grant Funds to Neighborhood Land Corporation, a Certified Community Housing Development Organization RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Award $898,796 in HOME Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) funds for the Neighborhood Land Corporation (NLC) for development and operating expenses in support of single family new construction at infill sites throughout the central City; 2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a contract with NLC for the project for a two-year term beginning on the date of the execution of the contract; 3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to extend or renew the contract for up to one year if NLC requests an extension and such extension is necessary for completion of the project; and 4. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to amend the contract, if necessary to achieve project goals, provided that the amendment is within the scope of the project and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing use of federal grant funds. DISCUSSION: In May 2006, City Council approved an allocation of $443,500 in HOME CHDO funds for the Neighborhood Land Corporation to support construction of 11 single family infill homes (M&C C-21460). NLC entered into an agreement with Trinity Habitat for Humanity to construct the houses. Eight of the homes are completed, and construction on the remaining three is 90 percent complete, with closings scheduled in the next 60 days. NLC and Habitat would like to continue this partnership with the City in order to expand the number of homes available to low-income families. They have requested $678,300 to help build 17 houses, $170,496 for down payment assistance for the buyers (average income for Habitat buyers is 60 percent of the area median), and $50,000 in CHDO operating funds. House prices will be in the low to mid seventies before down payment assistance is applied. The total project cost is projected to be $2.06 million, with the city's portion approximately 35 percent of this amount (not including down payment assistance funds). The balance of project funding has already been secured in the form of corporate, faith-based, and individual donations. Commitment of these donated funds (and homebuyer volunteer hours) to the project will be of significant benefit to the City in meeting its grant matching obligations for the HOME Investment Partnerships program. NLC will be project owner and developer and Trinity Habitat will be the general contractor. Trinity Habitat has built and sold nearly 300 single family homes in Tarrant and Johnson Counties since its formation. Provision of CHDO operating funds will assist NLC to increase its capacity to develop additional http://www.cfwnet.org/council�acket/Reports/mc�rint.asp 6/21 /2007 Page 2 of 2 housing units in the future. All houses will be 3 bedroom 2 bath with a minimum size of 1200 square feet. As needed by the buyers, some houses may have 4 bedrooms. Trinity Habitat has enhanced its home designs to include a single-car garage and porch details which appropriately blend with existing designs in many Central City neighborhoods. The homes will be constructed on scattered sites throughout the Central City, as illustrated on the attached map. Homebuyers select their lot location after qualifying as a Habitat homebuyer through that non-profit organization's intensive homeownership training and sweat equity program. The above recommendations were approved by the Central City Revitalization and Economic Development Committee on April 3, 2007. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies upon approval of the above recommendations that Funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
