Introduction Thank you for taking an interest in the City of Phoenix Housing Department Affordable Housing Loan Program.

This application should be used by developers of affordable housing who are responding to the Call for Interest(CFI). Applications will be accepted for the following types of affordable housing projects:

Special Needs Housing LoansFor purposes of this loan program, Special Needs Housing is defined as properties that (i) are uniquely designed to meet the housing and service needs of a targeted special needs population, and (ii) provide supportive services for residents. It does not refer to traditional rental properties that serve special needs residents in a mixed residency environment. Examples of special needs housing include transitional housing for homeless persons; housing for disabled persons, HUD 811 or 202 properties.

Before completing this application it is strongly suggested that the applicant read the City of Phoenix Underwriting Guidelines pertinent to the type of project being proposed. In this way, the developer can be sure that his or herproject is a good “fit” with the City’s priorities and funding criteria.

Additional Information Davis Bacon Wage DeterminationThe David Bacon Act, requires that HUD funded projects of a certain size shall contain a clause setting forth the minimum wages to be paid to various classes of laborers and mechanics employed under the contract. Under the provisions of the Act, contractors or their subcontractors are to pay workers employed directly upon the site of the work no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits paid on projects of a similar character. The Davis-Bacon Act directs the Secretary of Labor to determine such local prevailing wage rates. A "wage determination" is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers and mechanics which the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor has determined to be prevailing in a given area for a particular type of construction (e.g., building, heavy, highway, or residential).

Underwriting GuidelinesThe underwriting guidelines describes the Department’s housing policy objectives, the range of programs available to advance these objectives, and the manner in which transactions will be evaluated and selected for funding. These guidelines provide requirements on loan limits, terms and interest rates, affordability requirements and financial requirements for participation in the program. Only programs that meet the City of Phoenix Housing Department’s underwriting guidelines will be accepted for consideration into the Affordable Housing Loan Program.

The City of Phoenix Housing Department’s Underwriting Guidelines can be found on the City website at https://www.phoenix.gov/housing/building-affordable-housing

Tab D- Environmental Assessment Narrative (SAMPLE)

Statement of Purpose and Need: [40 CFR 1508.9(b)] The purpose of the Phoenix Best Affordable is to construct 50 single-family, detached homes and associated subdivision infrastructure that will provide affordable, safe homeownership opportunities to first-time homebuyers that are low to moderate income. The existing community is at 70% low/moderate income. The land is presently a vacant lot located within a primarily residential area. More than 30 of the homes will be reserved for households with incomes below 65% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and another 15 for households with incomes below 80% of the AMI.

The subject property consists of three parcels composing 9.8 acres of vacant land. From 1938–2004 the land has been in agricultural use or vacant. A citrus orchard was once present over part of the site. When completed, the new units will provide affordable housing for low to moderate income families who work in low paying professions such as services and trades; generally, households who earn between 40-60% of the gross AMI for Maricopa County. According to the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES), 56% of Phoenix’s 1,276,500 residents work in services or trades (about 714,840 persons).

Low income small families and large families were “judged to be most in need of assistance” by the City of Phoenix HUD Consolidated Plan (CP) and rated a “high priority” due to the high degree of housing problems faced by these groups. The CP notes that the City of Phoenix has long prioritized encouraging and assisting first-time homebuyers in purchasing homes. “Ownership stabilizes housing costs over a long period of time and is recognized as an asset to neighborhoods and the City as a whole. Neighborhoods with higher percentages of owner- occupied units have a stronger sense of permanence and stability than neighborhoods with predominantly rental units…Finally, when property values rise, homeownership can give families an economic boost and a sense of security that results in economic and social benefits to the surrounding community.” The CP has identified moderate income households, desiring to be homebuyers as in need of assistance. Additionally, the need to develop vacant residential land helps to revitalize distressed neighborhoods. Increasing the percentage of owner-occupied housing helps to “strengthen existing neighborhoods and preserve their affordable housing,” thus improving “the living environment of its citizens while providing an adequate supply of affordable housing in safe, decent, and sanitary condition.”

Description of the Proposal: Include all contemplated actions, which logically are either geographically or functionally a composite part of the project, regardless of the source of funding. [24 CFR 58.32, 40 CFR 1508.25] Phoenix Best Affordable proposes to build 50 detached single family homes on 9.8 acres at D&E streets, South Phoenix Village. The homes are planned to be 1,300 to 1, 500 square feet on lots of approximately 5,500 square feet. Phoenix Best plans to use two home model plans that have been upgraded and approved as meeting the Infill Housing Program Boundary and Criteria. The units will have a two-car garage, storage space and security amenities. Two retention areas are planned as well as a block retaining wall along the boundary of the subdivision. Access to the subdivision will be from D Street with the back of the site abutting the right-of-way for an underground, piped section of the Canal. The National Council of La Raza, Raza Development Fund will be providing funds to pay a portion of the cost associated with infrastructure construction for the development through FY2002 EDI-Special Project No. B-02-SP-AZ-9999.

The vacant land will be developed in the following ways: Ground disturbance for site grading and utility trenching, which should not disturb deeper than 48” in depth Provide pedestrian access (ADA) to the common areas and appropriate curbing to street access Provide utility connections for new units Install complete landscaping and irrigation Install fencing around exterior perimeter of property Framing, furring and finishing of new single family structures

The site development includes enhancements: Provide pedestrian linkages and accessible sidewalks throughout the complex and to adjoining streets Install landscaping integrating natural features and native plants Install water retention facilities as per city requirements

All development will be in accordance with Phoenix building, zoning and development codes as approved by Planning and Development Services Departments.

Existing Conditions and Trends: Describe the existing condition of the project area and its surrounding, and trends likely to continue in the absence of the project. [24 CFR 58.40(a)]

Page 24: Affordable Housing Loan Program - Phoenix, Arizona · requirements on loan limits, terms and interest rates, affordability requirements and financial requirements for participation

November 2017 24

The proposed project and surrounding area located within Census Tract 1167.02, block 3 is 1.6 miles across with 70% of the population at low to moderate income. The median income for households is $29,846. The total population for the census tract is 7,436 with an average family size of 3.89. The families live 17.3% below the poverty line.

Historical review indicates the site was a combination of agricultural and vacant land from 1938 to 2004. While a portion of the site was a citrus orchard in the past, the site is now a vacant lot. The land is disturbed from past agricultural use with existing vegetation primarily composed of opportunistic, “weedy” plants. No structures are present. Some scattered trash and debris along with burnt carnival trailers are present on the site.

The site consists of three contiguous parcels bounded to the north by D Rd and a residential area, to the south by the right-of-way for an underground, piped section of the Canal (a Salt River Project irrigation canal) and unsub-divided residential, to the east by unsub-divided ranch property, and to the west by an unsub-divided open field horse property.

In absence of this project, the neighborhood residents would continue to have a vacant lot strewn with assorted debris such as broken beer bottles, down and standing barb-wire fences, burnt carnival trailers and other debris. Additionally, weedy vegetation could prove to be a fire hazard.

Also, this existing neighborhood condition would continue as a negative contributor to neighborhood efforts to stabilize, revitalize, and maintain the neighborhood, and improve the perception of this area.

Alternatives and Project Modifications Considered [24 CFR 58.40(e), Ref. 40 CFR 1508.9] (Identify other reasonable courses of action that were considered and not selected, such as other sites, design modifications, or other uses of the subject site. Describe the benefits and adverse impacts to the human environment of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting it.)

The project applicant considered other sites nearby before selecting the subject parcels for the proposed development. Some sites were prohibitively expensive for purchasing given the proposed development is to assist first-time homebuyers with limited incomes. One parcel was purchased by another person prior to the applicant’s ability to purchase the land. Due to the scope of this project there are limited alternatives and modifications. The project area is in a census tract with 70% of the residents having low to moderate incomes. There is a limited amount of open land available for the development of such a project and within the scope of affordability for the applicant. The price of the land is important in maintaining a low project cost so that homes can be offered at a reasonable price to the low to moderate income targeted applicants. Modifications are also limited to the infill housing requirements established and required by the City of Phoenix.

The subject property is zoned R1-6, a residential district that allows the development of single-family detached dwellings at a density up to 5 units per gross acre (measured to the center line of adjoining street). The subject property is not located close enough to a freeway or major arterial to be a good retail use and it is surrounded by multifamily residential uses, a school and park, so there is no need for additional public or institutional uses at this location. Given economic feasibility considerations and site constraints few if any other types or land uses would be feasible at this location.

No Action Alternative [24 CFR 58.40(e)] (Discuss the benefits and adverse impacts to the human environment of not implementing the preferred alternative). The result of not implementing the preferred alternative would be to preserve the vacant parcel of land for some unknown future use and to reduce the opportunities for homeownership for low to moderate income applicants. If the lot remains vacant it is likely that illegal dumping will become more problematic. Additionally, if the vacant lot is not maintained to any degree, the existing weedy vegetation will likely become a neighborhood nuisance and a potential fire hazard. Thus, it is not in the public’s best interest to promote no action on this project.

Tab E-2 Project Description - Special Needs Housing Special Needs Housing

For purposes of this loan program, Special needs Housing is defined as properties that are (i) uniquely designed to meet the housing and service needs of a target special needs population, and (ii) provide supportive services for residents. It does not refer to traditional rental properties that serve special needs residents in a mixed residency environment. Examples of special needs housing include transitional housing for homeless persons; housing for disabled persons, and HUD 811 or 202 properties.

Special Needs Housing projects must be developed and operated by nonprofit organizations only.

Financial Guidelines

Applicant must demonstrate that there is sufficient capital for construction or rehabilitation of The Property and annual funding for ongoing operations. As rental revenue/fees from operations is often minimal due to the very low income of the residents, these projects rely heavily on operating subsidies to remain viable. Exclusive of the HOPWA funded projects, or a project serving a regional population, theHousing Department does not provide operating funds.

ALL PROPOSALS MUST BE LOCATED IN PHOENIX

Section SN.1 Target Resident PopulationPlease write a description of the project, type of population to be served (i.e. homeless, domestic violence, transitional, persons living with HIV/AIDS, elderly, mentally ill, chronic substance abusers, etc.) and the number of units to be dedicated to special populations. Discuss how the organization will be able to sustain operations.

Section SN.2 Social Service Programs

Tab E-Community Services and Site Area Detractions The Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that all affordable housing programs must meet a minimum site and neighborhood standards. The goal is to provide affordable housing that is accessible to social, recreational, educational, commercial and health facility and services, and other municipal facilities and services that are at least equivalent to those typically found in neighborhoods consisting largely of similar unassisted standard housing. The site must also be free from adverse environmental conditions and avoid undue concentration of assisted persons in areas containing a high proportion of low income persons.
