COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION (CHDO)

QUALIFYING CRITERIA

CHDO CERTIFICATION

Once an organization has determined that they meet the CHDO requirements, they should submit their proposal along with all the required documentation in the format described in proposal page 2 through 8 of the HOME Proposal. The City of Scottsdale will review the proposal and if, after review of the proposal, the City finds that additional documentation is needed or that the organization somehow falls short of the City’s interpretation of the regulations, the City will notify the organization regarding the specific items that must be addressed before the proposal can be reconsidered. CHDOs must be recertified on an annual basis to ensure updated documentation supports the organization’s CHDO status. Additionally, a CHDO’s status is also required to be re-evaluated at the time it receives a commitment to receive CHDO funding for a CHDO development project.

THRESHOLD CRITERIA

A CHDO is defined in 24 CFR Part 92, Section 92.2. It is the policy of the City of Scottsdale that potential CHDOs qualify each time they apply for CHDO funds. CHDO qualifications are completed only during the regular proposal time and only when accompanied by a current proposal. If any of these criteria are not met, then the funding request cannot be accepted and the proposal will not be processed any further. Attached to this checklist is a list of documents that must be submitted before an organization may be certified as a CHDO. Please attach the required documents; only ONE copy of documents needs to be submitted.

Number of Bedrooms;

Quality of construction (class);

Targeted Population; and

Comparable Units.

(E) Demand. Provide a comprehensive evaluation of the need for the proposed housing for the Development as a whole and each unit type by number of bedrooms proposed and rent restriction category within the defined market areas using the most current census and demographic data available.

Demographics. The Market Analyst should use demographic data specific to the characteristics of the households that will be living in the proposed Project

population for an elderly Development, if available, and should avoid making adjustments from more general demographic data. If adjustment rates are used based on more general data for any of the following they should be clearly identified and documented as to their source in the report.

Population. Provide population and household figures, supported by actual demographics, for a five (5) year period with the year of proposal as the base year.

Target. If applicable, adjust the household projections for the Qualified Elderly or special needs population targeted by the proposed Development.

Income Eligible. Adjust the household size-appropriate projections for income eligibility based on the income bands for the proposed unit type by number of bedrooms proposed and rent restriction category with:

the lower end of each income band calculated based on the lowest gross rent proposed divided by 35% for the general population and 50% for qualified elderly households; and

the upper end of each income band equal to the applicable gross median income limit for the largest appropriate household size based on 1.5 persons per bedroom (round up) or one person for efficiency units.

(F) Tenure-Appropriate. Adjust the income-eligible household projections for tenure (renter or

owner). If tenure appropriate income eligible target household data is available, a tenure appropriate adjustment is not necessary.

Gross Demand. Gross Demand is defined as the sum of Potential Demand from the Market Area, Demand from Other Sources,

Potential Demand. Potential Demand is defined as the number of income-eligible, age, size, and tenure-appropriate target households in the designated market area at the proposed placed in-service date.

All conclusions must be consistent with the data and analysis presented throughout the Market Demand Study.

(A) Unit Mix. Provide a best possible unit mix conclusion based on the occupancy rates by Bedroom type within the PMA and target, income-eligible, size-appropriate and tenure-appropriate household demand within the MA.

(B) Rents. Provide a separate Market Rent conclusion for each proposed Unit type by number of Bedrooms and rent restriction category. Conclusions of Market Rent below the maximum Net Program Rent limit must be well documented as the conclusions may impact the feasibility. In support of the Market Rent conclusions, provide a separate attribute adjustment matrix for each proposed unit type by number of Bedrooms and rental restriction category.

The Department recommends use of HUD Form 92273.

A minimum of three developments must be represented on each attribute adjustment matrix.

Adjustments for concessions must be included, if applicable.

Total adjustments in excess of 15% must be supported with additional narrative.

collection loss projections for the subject derived independent of the Applicant's estimates.

(D) Demand:

State the Gross Demand for each Unit type by number of Bedrooms proposed and rent restriction category (e.g. one-Bedroom units restricted at 50% of AMFI; two-Bedroom units restricted at 60% of AMFI); and

State the Gross Demand for the proposed Development as a whole. If some households are eligible for more than one unit due to overlapping eligible ranges for income or household size, Gross Demand should be adjusted to avoid including households more than once.

The proposed subject Units;

Comparable Units in previously approved but Unstabilized Developments in the Market Demand Study.

(F) Gross Capture Rate. The Gross Capture Rate is defined as the Relevant Supply divided by the Gross

Demand. The Market Demand Study must show a calculation of a Gross Capture Rate for the subject

Development as a whole, as well as for each Unit type by number of Bedrooms and rent restriction categories, and market rate Units, if applicable. A complete demand and capture rate analysis is required in every Market Demand Study, regardless of the current occupancy level of an existing Development.

Grant Conditions

The City of Scottsdale’s City Council will make final approvals and commitments for funding under this program. Such funding will be subject to the execution of subrecipient contracts under which the selected agencies will accept all of the grant mandated pass-through obligations. These obligations include, but are not limited to, equal opportunity, Davis-Bacon, lead-based paint hazards, accounting, procurement, performance reporting and all other applicable federal and County requirements and regulations required in the management of the HOME Investment in Affordable Housing. 24 CFR Part 92.

All funding commitments are conditional on the projects obtaining environmental clearance before any funds are committed, including prior environmental clearance of every project site by address. The responsibility for performing the appropriate environmental clearance will rest with the City of Scottsdale. If a project addresses changes, or if a property is added to a funded program after the environmental clearance is completed, it is the responsibility of the funded agency to notify the City of Scottsdale Contract Administrator. In addition, the funded agency is to refrain from making any expenditure on that site until a new environmental clearance has been completed. Failure to meet these conditions will mean that requested funds would not be disbursed for any expenditure on that property.

The enabling legislation for the HOME Program establishes a 25% match requirement for any activity funded under this program. To be considered eligible as match, a contribution must be made from non-federal sources and must be a permanent contribution to a HOME project or to HOME match-eligible housing. Any applicant for funding under the HOME Program will be responsible for identifying the source of funds and the amount of matching funds available to the project for which HOME funds are being requested. A firm commitment from each match provider must be attached to the Proposal. The funded agency will provide the required match each time a draw is requested for a funded activity. Eligible contributions of match are:

Cash or cash equivalents from a non-Federal source;

Value of waived taxes, fees or charges associated with HOME projects;

Value of donated land or real property;

Cost of infrastructure improvements associated with HOME projects;

A percentage of the proceeds of single or multifamily housing bonds issued by state, state instrumentally, or local government;

Value of donated materials, equipment, labor and professional services;

Sweat equity;

Direct costs of supportive services to residents of HOME projects; and

HUD has statutory encumbrance and expenditure dates. In addition, the Maricopa HOME Consortium has 24-month expenditure dates. Any funds not drawn down in IDIS by June 30, 2018, shall be recaptured by the Consortium.

Funding draws will be subject to compliance with City of Scottsdale Housing Rehabilitation Standards and local building code requirements.

Low/moderate income persons must occupy 100% of units that are assisted with HOME funds. This must occur at the time of occupancy or at the time that funding is invested whichever is later. Each applicant will have to describe how it will limit participation in the funded program to households to meet the income eligibility requirement. 100% of all HOME assisted rental units will benefit persons with income of less than 60% of the median income. At least 20% of all units in multi-family projects of 5 units or more must benefit persons with income less than 50% of the median income.

Financing a project with HOME funds is a long-term commitment. All projects funded commit the applicant to a long-term responsibility of some type. Housing projects have an extensive period of affordability enforceable by

liens on the property and may also require long term monitoring for LBP hazards. Applicants are liable for repayment of the fair market value of the property if the use changes to an ineligible one.
