DISCUSSION:
On December l3, 2011, City Council approved a conditional commitment of $500,000.00 from Program
Year 2012-2013 HOME Investment Parrnerships Program Grant (HOME) funds and $500,000.00 from the
General Fllnd portion of the Fort Worth Housing Trust Fund to the Fort Worth Housing Authority (FWHA),
or its affiliate, for the redevelopment of the Hunter Plaza Apartments located at 605 West First Street (M&C
C-25369). The purpose of the commitment was to show local support of FWHA's application to the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for nine percent Low Income Housing Tax
Credits (LIHTC) for the redevelopment project. The apartments are now vacant but previously housed 225
public housing units for elderly and disabled persons. FWHA has formed FW Hunter Plaza, L.P.
Earlier this year FWHA was informed by TDHCA that the project did not score high enough to receive a
nine percent LIHTC award. FWHA now wants to apply for non—competitive four percent LIHTC in order to
move forward witl� the redevelopment of the apartments. Because of the change in the type of tax credits it is
applying ior, FWHA has requested additional funding for the project and has also requested that all of the
City's funds be repaid in 15 years instead of the original three year loan term for the $500,000.00 of General
Funds. Since the financing of the project has cl�anged substantially, Staff recommends substituting HOME
f�mds for the General Funds fi•om the Housing Trust Fund, and increasing the amount of HOME funds for the
project by $1,300,000.00 for a total award of $1,800,000.00.
Sttrff reco»2nte�rds the followirrg HOME loan terms:
1. Loan of HOME funds subordinate only to constructiou and permanent financing for the project,
2. Designate HOME—assisted units according to HOME regulations with a 15 Year Affordability Period;
3. HOME funds secured by a Deed of Trust on the real property;
4. Interest at one percent;
5. Loan term to r��n concurrently with the Affordability Period;
6. S�tisfactory completion of the environmental review per 24 CFR Part 58;
7. Authorization to use grant funds fi•om HUD; and,
8. Eqliity, construction and permanent financing acceptable to City.
Tlle Action Plan f�mding years selected may vary and be substituted based on the Principle of First In, First
Out in oi•der to expend oldest grant funds first, The HOME funds may be used for any eligible costs related to
tl�is development.
A public comment period on the intent to use HOME funds was held from May 11, 2012 to June 11, 2012.
Any comments are maintained by the Housing and Economic Development Department in accordance with
federal regulations.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.

of $600,Q00.00 in Order to Meet the 2015 HOME investment Partnerships Program Grant
Funds Match Requirement and for Use to Pay for Expenses Associated with the
Redevelopment of the Hunter Plaza Apartments Located at 605 West First Street
(COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the change in use and expenditure of Rental
Rehab Program Income in the amount of $600,000.00 in order to meet the 2015 HOME Investment
Partnerships Program match requirement and for use to pay for expenses associated with the
redevelopment of the Hunter Plaza Apartments located at 605 West First Street.
DISCUSSION;
During the eariy 1980's, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
implemented a program entitled Rentai Rehabilitation Block Grant. The purpose of this program was
to provide funds to local governments to facilitate the increased supply of affordable rental housing
for lower income families. The City of Fort Worth used these funds to provide below market rate
loans to investor owners of rental properties to undertake moderate to substantial levels of
rehabilitation of their properties. The loans were awarded to owners of single family and muitifamily
rental properties. HUD discontinued this program in 1991.
Any future program income generated by the program could be used for any activities eligible under
the City's housing programs.
On December 13, 2011, (M&C C-25369) and June 12, 2012, (M&C C-25662) the City Council
authorized the use of $1,800,000.00 in HOME investment Partnerships Grant Funds to FW Hunter
Plaza, L.P., for the redevelopment of the Hunter Plaza Apartments located at 605 West First Street
(the Hunter Plaza Redevelopment).
A Public Notice with a 30-day comment period was published on May 10, 2012 in the Fort Worth
Star-Tele.qram, notifying the public of the intent to use $1,800,000,00 in NOME funds for the Hunter
Plaza Redevelopment. Likewise on January 14, 2015, a Public Notice with a 30-day comment period
was published in the �ort Worth Star-Teleqram, notifying the public in the proposed change in use of
$600,000.00 In HOME funds from the Hunter Plaza Redevelopment to the Reserve at Quebec
Development.
Under HUD regulations, the 2015 Match Requirement cannot be satisfied by spending HOME funds,
but can be satisfied by spending Rental Rehab Program Income on an existing project. Therefore,
Staff is requesting that $600,000.00 in Rental Rehab Program Income be used to pay for expenses
associated with the Hunter Plaza Redevelopment in place of $600,000.00 in HOME funds which were
previously approved by the City Council for this purpose.
Staff recommends that Council approve the change in use and expenditure of $600,000.00 in Rental
Rehab Program Income in order to meet the HOME Investment Partnerships Grant Funds 2015
