MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO HEAR THIS ITEM? IS IT SPINNING ON YOUR GUYS' END? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.
IT HAS BEEN A MOTION BY DIRECTOR LEWIS AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR SIDES.
UM, MAY WE PLEASE HEAR THIS ITEM? GOOD AFTERNOON.
UM, WE'RE VERY THRILLED TO REPORT THAT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING YOU LAST MONTH AND OUR STAFF, UM, BEHIND US HERE, GIVING YOU AN UPDATE ON PROGRAMS AND WHERE THEY STAND AND ALL THE SUCCESSES THAT THEY HAVE LED.
UM, WE GOT A NEWS THAT WE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO EXPAND OUR A DU PROGRAM, AND I'M GONNA LET KELLY PELLI, UH, GIVE YOU THE DETAILS ON THAT.
HAPPY TO BE HERE TO GIVE GOOD NEWS.
UM, YES, LIKE MEGAN SAID, UM, THE COMMISSION, UM, APPROVED FUNDING TO PILOT THE A DU PROGRAM LAST YEAR.
AND THE BACKYARD BUILDERS PROGRAM HAS SUCCESSFULLY FACILITATED 10 ADUS.
AND LIKE MEGAN SAID, THAT WE APPLIED TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THEY EMBRACED THAT SUCCESS AND AWARDED $4.8 MILLION TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM.
UM, IT'S 4.8, SORRY, $4.8 MILLION.
4 MILLION WOULD BE LOANS TO HOMEOWNERS TO BUILD THE ADUS AND $800,000 FOR PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION COSTS.
UM, CITY STAFF EXPECTS TO FUND A MINIMUM OF 16 MORE ADUS WITH THAT FUNDING.
UM, THE LOAN TERMS ARE SIMILAR TO OUR EXISTING PROGRAM WITH SOME DIFFERENCES.
UM, IT WILL BE A 30 YEAR TERM.
THE PAYMENT IS DEFERRED DURING THE LIFE OF THE LOAN.
IT'S A LOW INTEREST LOAN AND A MAXIMUM $250,000.
UM, PER HCD GUIDELINES, THE HOME MUST BE OWNER OCCUPIED, UM, OWNER OCCUPIED WHEN THEY APPLY AND ALSO DURING THE ENTIRE TERM OF THE LOAN.
UM, HOMEOWNERS MUST EARN LESS THAN 80% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN OUR CURRENT PROGRAM.
UM, THE HOMEOWNERS MUST MEET OUR GENERAL UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME MUST BE IN ONE OF THESE DESIGNATED AREAS.
UM, THAT'LL SHOW ON THESE MAPS.
THE HOME EITHER NEEDS TO BE IN A HIGH RESOURCE AREA AS SHOWN BY THIS MAP, A FEDERAL OPPORTUNITY ZONE AS SHOWN BY THIS MAP, OR A FEDERAL JUSTICE 40 ZONE AS SHOWN BY THIS MAP.
UM, YEAH, THIS IS A SHORT PRESENTATION AS WELL.
UM, THE HCD PROGRAM REQUIRES THE LOAN TO BE PROVIDED TO LOWER INCOME HOMEOWNERS, LIKE WE SAID.
UM, BUT STAFF IS CONTINUING TO PURSUE OTHER FUNDING, UM, TO INCENTIVIZE, UM, HIGHER INCOME HOMEOWNERS TO BUILD ADUS, UM, AND HAVE THOSE ADUS BE RESTRICTED ON THEIR PROPERTY.
UM, THAT IS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE THE RECOMMENDATIONS DIRECTORS? ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PRESENTATION? YES, I DO.
UM, I I'M ASSUMING THAT THERE WAS A STUDY DONE OF HOW MUCH WOULD SOMEBODY WHO'S MAKING 80% AREA MEDIAN INCOME IS ABLE TO AFFORD IF THEY HAVE A MORTGAGE ON THEIR HOME PLUS A $250,000 LOAN? UHHUH
WE WILL ALSO DO DEBT TO INCOME RATIOS AND LOAN TO VALUE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT TAKING OUT MORE LOANS THAN THE HOME IS WORTH.
UM, BECAUSE SO, SO THEY STILL NEED TO QUALIFY FOR THE 250,000? YEAH, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE UNDERWRITING TO QUALIFY
[00:10:01]
FOR THE 250, BUT BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS, UM, WE CAN BE MORE LENIENT ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY CAN AFFORD.UM, BUT THEY ARE LOANS THEY DO NEED TO BE REPAID AFTER THE 30 YEARS.
DOES THAT ANSWER? NO, BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE A, IF THEY HAVE A MORTGAGE, LET'S JUST SAY THAT THEY HAVE A MORTGAGE, RIGHT? ESPECIALLY IN THIS, IN THOSE AREAS, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A MORTGAGE OF $2,000 IN THE LOW END.
SO THEY HAVE A DEBT OF $2,000 THAT THEY NEED TO PAY ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND THAT'S GONNA HIT THEIR DTI ON TOP OF THAT, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE NOW ANOTHER LOAN FOR 200 AND LET SAY ANOTHER 200,000 AT 30 YEARS, EVEN IF THEY'RE DEFERRED.
MY QUESTION IS, ARE YOU TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT FOR THE DTI OR IS IT JUST THEIR PRIMARY HOME? WE WOULD JUST, TO BE HONEST, WE HAVE, WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO WORK OUT IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO, UM, RELAUNCH THIS PROGRAM.
BUT I WOULD EXPECT THAT WE DON'T, UM, COUNT THE $250,000 LOAN TOWARDS THEIR DEBT TO INCOME BECAUSE THAT WOULD PUT THEM OVER A MAX THAT WE WOULD USUALLY KEEP.
AND THE REASON THAT WE CAN DO THAT IS KELLY WAS SAYING IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE PAYMENTS REQUIRED, IT WOULD EITHER BE AT TIME OF DEATH OR IF THEY SELL THE PROPERTY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPAY US OR IT WOULD BE BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE IN 30 YEARS WHEN WE WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF EQUITY FOR THEM TO REFI AND PAY US BACK.
UM, WE WILL JUST BE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A REASONABLE, UM, UH, NOT TOO BIG OF A LOAN ON THE PROPERTY THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THERE WAS A FORECLOSURE THAT WE COULD STILL, UM, GET OUR MONEY REPAID.
SO THAT IS THE BASELINE THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT.
I HAD A QUESTION, UM, PERTAINING TO THE $800,000 IN ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, UM, WHERE DOES THAT COME ABOUT IN CASE SOMEONE ASKS OR WHAT DO WE THINK? IS THAT BASED ON THE BEFORE PROGRAM AND BECAUSE I JUST DID THE QUICK MATH, I SAW THE 16, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE 4 MILLION.
UM, BUT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE, WHAT'S THE INTEL ON THAT? WELL, WE'RE PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT THAT 800,000.
UM, OUR FUNDS DON'T ALWAYS COME WITH, UH, MONEY TO PAY FOR OUR STAFF.
UM, AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CONSTANTLY HAVE TO JUGGLE.
SO THE FACT THAT WE CAN GET ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS TO PAY ALL OF OUR SALARIES HERE TO ADMINISTER THESE PROGRAMS, AND ALSO THE CONSULTANT THAT WE USE TO HELP WITH, UM, FEASIBILITY OF THE A DU, UM, DESIGN AND FINDING, HELPING THE APPLICANT TO FIND A CONTRACTOR, UM, THAT COMES OUT OF OUR ADMIN BUDGET AS WELL.
SO IT ALL GOES INTO THE COFFER TO KEEP THE EXISTING HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES STAFF THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU DOING ALL OF YOUR, UH, ALL OF THE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS.
AND I WOULD ADD THE 800 THOUSANDS OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD, WHICH IS THE, UM, THE EXPENDITURE DEADLINES THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS GRANT PROGRAM.
DO YOU MIND EXPLAINING WHAT THE HIGH RESOURCE AREA DEFINITION IS? LOOKS LIKE IT WAS KIND OF ON EAST LONG BEACH THERE.
SO IT'S, UM, A DESIGNATION SET BY THE STATE.
THEY DO IT FOR EVERY SINGLE CENSUS TRACK STATEWIDE.
SO THIS ISN'T SINGLING OUT LONG BEACH BY ANY MEANS.
THEY LOOK AT NINE DIFFERENT FACTORS.
UM, THAT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN TO BE INFLUENTIAL FOR POSITIVE INCOMES FOR CHILDREN.
THOSE ARE ACROSS THINGS LIKE EDUCATIONAL, ENTERTAINMENT, EMPLOYMENT RATES, POVERTY RATES, UM, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
SO BROADLY SPEAKING, THESE ARE THE AREAS OF THE CITY THAT HAVE THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOLS, THE GREATEST ACCESS TO PARKS AND GREEN SPACE, THE BEST ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, THE HIGHEST RATES OF EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, THE LOWEST RATES OF POVERTY.
SO THOSE COMBINED, UM, LEAD TO AN AREA THAT'S DESIGNATED TO HAVE THE MOST POSITIVE IMPACT FOR CHILDREN.
AND SO THE STATE HAS A HUGE PUSH TO GENERATE MORE HOUSING, IN PARTICULAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THESE AREAS SO THAT WE CAN, UM, HAVE GREATER, UH, FAIR HOUSING CHOICE, GREATER ACCESS TO THESE HIGH RESOURCE AREAS, THESE RESOURCES WITH, WITH DESIRABLE OUTCOMES FOR OUR LOWER INCOME FAMILIES AND OUR CHILDREN.
THE SECOND PART OF YOUR ANSWER ACTUALLY ANSWERED MY VERY INARTICULATE QUESTION, SO THANK YOU.
AND BETWEEN THE THREE DESIGNATIONS, WE REALLY HAVE MOST OF LONG BEACH COVERED MOST.
WE, UM, I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE SMALL CARVE OUT POCKETS AND THE THE THIRD THERE'S UM, THE FEDERAL JUSTICE IS A LITTLE BIT IN FLUX BECAUSE THE CURRENT UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THAT PROGRAM ACTUALLY DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.
SO WE'RE WAITING TO HEAR FROM HCD IF WE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO, UM, APPLY THE PROGRAM IN THESE CENSUS TRACKS.
WE'RE HOPING TO, SINCE IT COVERS QUITE A LARGE AREA OF OUR CITY.
YOU HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THAT? SO THE THREE ZONES THAT YOU JUST REVIEWED, IS THAT
[00:15:01]
OUR DISCRETION OR DID THAT COME FROM PART OF THE CAL HOME REQUIREMENT? THAT'S PART OF THE CAL HOME REQUIREMENT AS PART OF OUR AWARD.WE SAID ALL ADUS MUST BE IN ONE OF THESE AREAS.
UM, SO STAFF IS STILL CONSIDERING IF, UH, WE SHOULD PRIORITIZE ONE AREA OVER THE OTHER.
YEAH, THAT, THAT'LL BE INTERESTING.
SO LET US KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE ON THAT.
AND THEN YOU MENTIONED THAT THE 80% MEET MEDIAN INCOME REQUIREMENT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAN FROM THE PILOT.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? OH, THE PILOT HAD NO RESTRICTION ON THE OWNER'S INCOME.
AND THAT'S A REQUIREMENT FROM CAL HOME? YES.
AND WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER FUNDING SOURCES SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, PROVIDE THIS PROGRAM TO ALL TYPES OF APPLICANTS, BUT THIS PARTICULAR FUNDING SOURCE, DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS TO CONVINCE THEM OTHERWISE, THE STATE, UM, HAS CERTAIN STRINGS ATTACHED TO THE MONEY AND WE WILL FIND A WAY TO, TO WORK WITHIN THOSE RESTRICTIONS.
AND THEN I'M REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THAT FEDERAL ZONE AND THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE RENEWED IF, I DON'T KNOW IN HOW YOU WOULD PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO US, BUT I'D BE CURIOUS.
WELL, IT'S, IT'S NOT BEEN RENEWED, SO THAT WAS PART OF THE BIG BAD OR BUILD BEAUTIFUL, DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
UM, BILL, UM, BUT THE MAP EXISTS, SO WE BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE MAP EXISTS, THAT THAT IS WHAT HCD WANTS US TO APPLY, BUT WE NEED THEM TO ACTUALLY SAY THAT IN WRITING.
UM, SO THAT'S SOME OF THE WORK THAT STAFF IS TRYING TO DO NOW.
I'D LOVE FOR US TO HAVE AN UPDATE ON HOW THAT GOES.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PILOT THAT HELPED US EARN THIS, THIS FAN FA A FANTASTIC GRANT.
HOW WAS THAT? FEDERAL JUSTICE 40 ZONE DEFINED? EXCELLENT.
UM, I GRABBED THAT IT, I CAN READ IT TO YOU.
IT SAID ITS GOAL WAS TO ENSURE THAT 40% OF THE OVERALL BENEFITS FROM CERTAIN FEDERAL INVESTMENTS FLOW TO DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED, UNDERSERVED, AND OVERBURDENED BY POLLUTION.
SO THESE ARE FED, IT WAS A FEDERAL DESIGNATION BY BIDEN.
UM, ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS, UM, DO WE HAVE A DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF WHERE WE MIGHT GET THE MOST APPLICANTS THAT MEET THAT 80% A MI REQUIREMENT? UH, NO, I DON'T HAVE THAT.
I KNOW THAT I, YOU KNOW, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE GOT 400 APPLICATIONS FOR THE PILOT AND I DID GO THROUGH AND SEARCH HOW MANY SELF-REPORTED IN INCOME UNDER 80% AND IT WAS A OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE.
SO THAT WAS GONNA BE MY OTHER QUESTION.
LIKE ARE WE GONNA GO STRAIGHT BACK TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAD ALREADY APPLIED BECAUSE, 'CAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA BE INTERESTED IN WANTING TO BUILD AN A DU AS WELL.
YEAH, I MEAN WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT OUR GUIDELINES AND HOW WE MIGHT PRIORITIZE IF, YOU KNOW, IF WE'D LIKE TO, BUT THEY'LL DEFINITELY BE NOTIFIED FOR SURE.
THAT'S SUPER EXCITING AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THAT.
UH, SO CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A VOTE JUST FOR THE RECORD? THERE ARE NO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
UH, PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM.
I'M SO SORRY, CHAR, ARE WE READY FOR THE NEXT ITEM? ITEM
