The HOME Funds must be used for eligible costs allowed under the HOME Regulations

for projects where the development costs exceed the sales price by more than ten percent (10%).
If SOP maintains the Performance Standards established by the City for retention of CHDO
proceeds during the term of this Contract and any extensions, it may retain the remaining
proceeds from the sale of the last two houses as CHDO proceeds. For the purposes of this
Contract, meeting the Performance Standards shall mean the construction and sale of a total of

this Contract to build and sell the homes to eligible homebuyers.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/3/2005
DATE: Tuesday, May 03, 2005
LOG NAME: 05SOPPINSON REFERENCE NO.: C-20705
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Contract with Spirit of Prayer Community and Economic Development
Corporation and Authorize Reallocation of Home Community Housing Development Organization
Program Funds for Development of Infill Housing
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the reallocation of $255,000 in HOME Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO) set aside program funds to Spirit of Prayer Community and Economic Development Corporation
(SOP) for the development of three homes in the Stop Six Neighborhood at 5212, 5216 and 5221 Pinson
with an option to build three more homes in the Stop Six Neighborhood once the initial three homes have
been sold;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with SOP, not to exceed a total of$255,000;
3. Authorize the contract performance period to begin on the date of contract execution and end
eighteen months thereafter;
4. Authorize extension or renewal of the contract for up to six months, if SOP requests an extension; and
5. Authorize the City Manager 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 applicable laws and regulations.
DISCUSSION:
The HOME Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) set aside program fund is intended to
be a partnership between federal, state and local government and community based builders who build,
own, manage, finance and support low income housing initiatives. HOME Participating Jurisdictions (PJs),
such as the City of Fort Worth, are particularly encouraged to work with existing community-based, non-
profit housing organizations, such as Spirit of Prayer Community and Economic Development Corporation
(SOP).
SOP has been a City of Fort Worth certified CHDO since March 25, 2004. SOP is also a non-profit
organization, founded to acquire land and provide affordable housing to low and moderate-income
households. The SOP staff has a combined twenty years in housing development and they have been
performing minor rehabilitation and replacement housing projects in conjunction with the City's Model
Blocks program since 1999.
SOP's plans are to initially build three, three bedroom, two bath, two garage infill homes in the Stop Six
Neighborhood with an option to build three more similar homes in the neighborhood once the initial three
homes have been sold. They will build the six homes in two phases (each phase consists of three
Ln�name: 05SOPPINSON Pace 1 of 7
homes). At the completion of all six homes the funds will be considered CHDO proceeds enabling SOP to
retain all proceeds from the sale of the last three homes. The City of Fort Worth's investment in these
properties will be secured through a first lien deed of trust.
The first three homes will have a brick exterior with a landscaped lawn square footage ranging between
1340 and 1400 square feet. These homes will be sold to income-eligible residents who do not exceed 80%
of area median income. SOP will serve as the general contractor and has estimated construction of all
three homes to be between $79,000 and $81,000.
