The State of Texas requires that applications for Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects be filed
in January including any local support. In order to meet the LIHTC application deadline, the City issued a
Request for Proposals (RFP 11-0358) on October 5, 2011 for developers to award and expend up to
$1,750,000.00 of (i) HOME funds for the 2012-2013 Program Year, (ii) General Funds in the City's Fort
Worth Housing Trust Fund (HTF), and (iii) City's Rental Rehabilitation Funds.
On November 3, 2011, the Fort Worth Housing Authority (FWHA) submitted a response requesting
$1,500,000.00 for the costs associated with the rehabilitation of the Hunter Plaza Apartments. City Staff
reviewed all RFP submissions and recommends the award to the FWHA or an affiliate of $500,000.00 in
HOME funds and $500,000.00 of HTF funds, for a total of $1,000,000.00, in the form of subordinate loans.
Currently, the apartments are vacant. The complex previously housed 225 public housing units for elderly
and disabled persons. The building has a total of 155,000 square feet of space. The project will consist of
renovating the building into a mixed income residential development with retail/commercial space on the
ground floor. Forty percent of the units will be market rate and 60 percent will be affordable to households
earning 60 percent or less of Area Median Income (AMI). At a minimum, five percent of the residential units
will be accessible to mobility impaired individuals. The development will include amenities such as a fitness
center, library room, business center, theatre room, community room and a secured entry. Each individual
unit will have a washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, microwave and ceiling fans. The
development will also feature a parking garage that will be constructed for use by both the residents and
customers for the retail area.
As part of the financing of the project, the FWHA or an affiliate will submit an application for LIHTC to the
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) on January 1, 2012. The total project cost
is approximately $24 Million.
Staff recommends the followinq HOME loan terms:
i. Designate HOME-assisted units according to HOME regulations with a 15-Year Affordability period;
ii. HOME funds secured by a recorded Deed of Trust on the real property;
iii. 1 percent interest or Applicable Federal Rate;
iv. Loan term of 15 years
v. Conditioned on the receipt of 2012-2013 HOME funds from HUD;
vi. Satisfactory completion of the environmental review per 24 CFR Part 58;
vii. Authorization to use grant funds from HUD; and,
viii. Award of Low Income Housing Tax Credits by TDHCA.
Staff recommends the following construction loan terms:
i. Funds secured by a recorded Deed of Trust on the real property;
ii. Loan term of three years;
iii Interest at Applicable Federal Rates (AFR) with principal and accrued interest due at conversion to
permanent financing; and
iv. Award of Low Income Housing Tax Credits by TDHCA.
The Action Plan's funding years for Federal funds selected may vary and be substituted based on the
Principle of First In, First Out (FIFO) in order to expend oldest grant funds first. The HOME funds may be
used for any eligible costs related to this development. If the 2012-2013 Action Plan is approved, City Staff
will seek City Council approval for the expenditure of $500,000.00 in HOME funds for the project.
A public comment period on the intent to use HOME funds was held from November 12, 2011 to December
12, 2011. Any comments are maintained by the Housing and Economic Development Department in
accordance with federal regulations.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating
budget of the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation Fund.

DISCUSSION:
On December 13, 2011, City Council approved a conditional commitment of $500,000.00 from
Program Year 2012-2013 HOME Investment Partnerships Program Grant (HOME) funds and
$500,000.00 from the General Fund 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 with the redevelopment of the apartments. Because of the change in the type
of tax credits it is applying for, 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 changed substantially,
Staff recommends substituting HOME funds for the General Funds from 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.
Staff recommends the following HOME loan terms:
1. Loan of HOME funds subordinate only to construction 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 run concurrently with the Affordability Period;
6. Satisfactory completion of the environmental review per 24 CFR Part 58;
7. Authorization to use grant funds from HUD; and,
8. Equity, construction and permanent financing acceptable to City.
The Action Plan funding years selected may vary and be substituted based on the Principle of First
In, First Out in order to expend oldest grant funds first. The HOME funds may be used for any
eligible costs related to this 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.
