REPORT - REVISION TO PRIOR AWARD RESOLUTION CLARIFYING LOAN SECURITY FOR ZANE-WOLFF VETERANS VILLAGE
BACKGROUND: Zane-Wolff Veterans Village (Project) is an affordable housing development consisting of 14 single-family dwellings of approximately 250 square feet commonly known as “tiny homes.” The developer of the Project is Community Housing Sonoma County (CHSC). Through the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), CHSC received a conditional commitment of $489,228 in local funds for rehabilitation-related costs for the Project under Resolution 2025-014. The resolution states that the $489,228 loan will be secured by a Deed of Trust, which is part of the standard loan documents used by the Housing Authority for loans to developers. However, CHSC cannot enter into a traditional Deed of Trust for the Project because CHSC does not own the land on which the Project is built. CHSC has a leasehold interest in the real property, which is owned by the County of Sonoma. The loan to CHSC must be secured by a Leasehold Deed of Trust, and a revised resolution clarifying the loan security must be approved by the Housing Authority.
RECOMMENDATION: The Housing and Community Services Department recommends that the Housing Authority, by resolution, approve a revision to the conditional commitment of loan funds in the amount of $489,228 to Community Housing Sonoma County for rehabilitation costs for Zane-Wolff Veterans Village. The revision clarifies that the loan will be secured by a Leasehold Deed of Trust.
REPORT - APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND ASSUMPTION OF HOUSING AUTHORITY REGULATORY AGREEMENT, DENSITY BONUS HOUSING AGREEMENT, PROJECT-BASED VOUCHER HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS CONTRACT, AND LOANS FOR BENTON VETERANS’ VILLAGE - 1055 BENTON STREET
BACKGROUND: Community Housing Sonoma County (CHSC) is selling 1055 Benton Street, known as Benton Veterans Village (Project), and has entered into a purchase agreement with PEP Housing. The Project is a seven (7) unit apartment complex affordable to households with incomes between 30% and 80% of area median income (AMI). The Housing Authority has three (3) loans on the property, in the principal amount of $1,572,294 due on July 28, 2071, a Regulatory Agreement and Density Bonus Housing Agreement securing affordability through October 22, 2073, and a Project-Based Voucher Housing Assistance Payments (PBV HAP) contract expiring on August 21, 2033. Additionally, the City of Santa Rosa provided the Project with a loan in the principal amount of $895,448 due on January 9, 2073. As part of this transaction, PEP Housing is seeking the Housing Authority’s approval to assume the Regulatory Agreement, Density Bonus Housing Agreement, PBV HAP contract, the Housing Authority’s loans and City loan, and to extend the loans to October 22, 2073 to align with the terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Density Bonus Housing Agreement. City Council Resolution Number 2017-080 approving the $895,448 loan authorized the Director of Housing and Community Services to execute agreements on behalf of the City, including assignment and assumption agreements.
RECOMMENDATION: The Housing and Community Services Department recommends that the Housing Authority, by resolution, conditionally approve the following for Benton Veterans Village, located at 1055 Benton Street: 1) the transfer of ownership from Community Housing Sonoma County to PEP Housing; 2) the assumption of the Housing Authority's Regulatory Agreement, Density Bonus Housing Agreement, Project-Based Voucher Housing Assistance Payments contract, and loans, in the principal amount of $1,572,294, plus a City of Santa Rosa loan in the principal amount of $895,448 by PEP Housing; and 3) extension of the Housing Authority’s loans and City loan to October 22, 2073 to align with the terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Density Bonus Housing Agreement.
