DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to approve financial actions in support of a senior living housing development in the
Cavile Place/Historic Stop Six area as part of the multi-year Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grant.
On October 22, 2019, City Council authorized the City to act as a co-applicant with Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) for a Choice
Neighborhoods Implementation (CNI) grant from the United States (U.S.) Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), adopted a
revised Cavile Place/Historic Stop Six Neighborhood Transformation Plan (Transformation Plan), and committed $39,375,654.00 over a six-year
period for various improvements and activities in the Cavile Place and Historic Stop Six neighborhood, subject to receipt of the CNI grant. In spring
2020, the City was notified that the City and FWHS had been awarded the CNI grant, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 19-0268. As co-
applicant, the City agreed to support FWHS in implementing the Transformation Plan by providing resources to eligible activities, including a
commitment of $3,000,000.00 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds and $1,110,000.00 in Urban Development Action Grant
(UDAG) funds to be awarded over the next six years. The purpose of this M&C is to move forward with awarding HOME funds for the first year in
the amount of $500,000.00 and UDAG funds for the first year in the amount of $360,000.00 for eligible activities.
The Cowan Place Project (Project) is part of Phase 1 of the Transformation Plan and will consist of a new multifamily, affordable senior apartment
complex. The Project will have up to 174 units for seniors 55 and older, with 156 of those units set aside for households earning sixty percent or
less of area median income (AMI) and at least five percent of the total units set aside as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) units. Phase 1 will
also include infrastructure improvements in support of the Project that will include, but not limited to, site improvements, street reconstruction and
street improvements such as water/sewer improvements, curb and gutter, sidewalks and street lights. FW Cowan Place, L.P. (Developer) will be
the developer and owner of the Project and is a Texas limited partnership consisting of FW Cowan Place, LLC as the general partner (owned by
FWHS), and FW Rosedale MBS SLP, Inc.
Texas
Council Communication
Fort Worth Affordabiliry, Inc. (FWAI) a Texas nonprofit corporation, which is the managing member of FW Cowan Place GP, LLC, and is an
instrumentality of FWHS, has requested that it be the initial borrower of the HOME and UDAG funds (collectively the "Loan Funds") instead of
Developer so that there is less risk that the loan proceeds will be subject to taxation by the Internal Revenue Service. FWAI will execute loan
agreements, promissory notes, and deeds of trust in favor of the City for the Loan Funds and simultaneously loan the Loan Funds to the Developer
for the development of the Project. To collateralize the loans from the City to FWAI and ensure compliance with federal requirements, FWAI will (1)
assign its loan documents (from the loan from FWAI to the Developer) to the City and (2) assign its obligations under the City's HOME and UDAG
contracts to the Developer.
In an effort to further the implementation of the Transformation Plan and aid the infrastructure improvements in support of the Project, staff
recommends the following loan terms and conditions:
HOME Loan Terms:

Affordability period to begin on the date the project status is changed to "Complete" in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System
(IDIS) and continue for 20 years thereafter;
HOME loan to be subordinate to any construction/permanent financing and any financing provided by Fort Worth Housing Finance
Corporation;
HOME-assisted units will be designated according to the HOME regulations with a 20 year affordability period;
HOME funds shall be repaid by FWAI to the extent FWAI receives repayment from Developer;

Loan term to commence on the date of execution and terminate 40 years after project stabilization. Final payment of principal and accrued,

Housing Finance Corporation;
Interest rate of zero percent so long as borrower complies with all of the terms of the contract and loan documents;
UDAG funds will be used for eligible construction costs associated with the new multifamily housing construction;
UDAG funds will be used in compliance with all CDBG requirements contained in 24 CFR Part 570, including but not limited to the Project
being located in a CDBG-eligible census tract and will accomplish the public benefit of furthering a CDBG National Objective of promoting
activities that benefit low-and-moderate income residents;

Staff recommends approving the expenditure and execution of contracts and related loan documents with FWAI in the amount of $500,000.00 in
HOME funds and $360,000.00 in UDAG funds for the construction costs in support of the Project, approving acceptance of the collateral
assignment by FWAI to City of related loan documents, and approving the assignment of the related HOME and UDAG obligations from FWAI to
the Developer. The Project serves a public purpose by assisting the City in fulfilling its goals under the City's Comprehensive Plan, Choice
Neighborhoods Implementation Grant, Transformation Plan and Consolidated Plan by providing qualiry, accessible, affordable housing for low- to
moderate- income residents and supporting economic development and revitalization.
Approval of this M&C would also allow Action Plan funding years to vary and be substituted in order to expend the oldest grant funds first.
Appropriations supporting the HOME loan would come from the annual program appropriation for the funding years against which the loan is
booked. A public comment period for the 2020-2021 Action Plan was held from July 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Any comments received are
maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department.
UDAG Miscellaneous Revenue funds are rental revenues received from the lease of the City-owned parking garage under General Worth Square
(City Secretary Contract No. 11085, as amended and assigned). UDAG Funds must be used for projects that meet certain CDBG program
requirements, including use in a CDBG-eligible area, qualification as a CDBG economic development project and inclusion of private investment.
Annual revenue from the parking garage is approximately $108,000.00. Currently the City has an appropriated balance of $185,996.89 in UDAG
funds. In addition, the City is in receipt of but has not appropriated a total of $473,038.04 of UDAG Funds from prior years. After funding this loan,
and after all funds have been appropriated, the garage rental revenues account will have a remaining balance of approximately $299,034.93.
Adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance will appropriate the current balance of program revenue for use on this $360,00.00 loan, with the
balance of appropriated funds to be programmed to other eligible projects in the future.
In addition to HOME and UDAG funding, the City also committed to providing additional funds from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) fund. Authorization for the use of the CDBG funds for the Project is being sought through a separate M&C.
The Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC) approved a resolution in support of the CNI grant and the Transformation Plan on October
22, 2019. The resolution set aside $1,250,000.00 of FWHFC funds for construction-to-permanent loans for affordable housing development
financing and an additional $1,250,000.00 specifically forthe development of Permanent Supportive Housing. (Resolution No. FWHFC-2019-06).
A portion of these funds is anticipated to be used in support of the Project.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund and Grants Operating Other Fund.
