ij j�_^,7: HOUSING SET-ASIDE PROGRAM AND HOUSING STRATEGY
RECOMMENDATION
1. Appropriate $100,000 from South Central Housing Set -Aside
Funds (as part of 1991-92 Redevelopment Agency budget) for
preparation of a Housing Set -Aside Program and Strategy and
additional -services as needed.
2. Approve the attached Consultant Services Agreement with David
Paul Rosen and Associates for preparation of a Housing Set-
Asidv ?rogram and Strategy.
BACKGROUND
Section•33334.6 of the California Health and Safety Code requires
that, with certain exceptions, each redevelopment project area set
aside a minimum of 20% of its tax increment into a low and moderate
income housing fund. The revenue from the low and moderate income
housing fund must be used for the purpose of increasing, improving,
and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income
housing available at affordable housing costs within the
territorial jurisdiction of the Agency. In accomplishing these
statutory requirements, the Agency may use its housing set-aside
funds by exercising any or all of it's powers, including but not
limited to the following:
1. Acquire land or building sites
2. Improve land or building sites with on-site or off-site
improvements.
3. Donate land to private or public persons or entities
4. Construct buildings or structures
5. Acquire buildings or structures
6. Rehabilitate buildings or structures
7. Provide subsidies to, or for, the benefit of very low income
households or persons and families of low or moderate income.
8. Contribute towards preparation of development plans, pay
principle and interest or bonds, loans and other indebtedness,
or pay financing charges.

Housing Set -Aside Program & Housing Strategy

Page 2
Recent changes in redevelopment law also now require an Agency to
expend or encumber Housing Set -Aside funds in excess of $500,000
within five ( 5 ) years of the fiscal year accrued.
As the Agency is aware, the South Central Project Area is accruing
between $400,000 and $500,000 a year in housing set-aside funds.
The Agency has been deferring its annual contribution of housing
set-aside funds in the Town Center Project Area due to other
financial and program obligations as it is permitted to do under
State law. However, all housing set-aside funds deferred are
considered a future obligation which will need to be planned for
over the life of the project area. It is estimated that by fiscal
year 1996-97 this deferred obligation will be. approximately $5
million dollars. In addition, new valuation"expected to be added
in Town Center could generate up to $850,000 in annual housing set-
aside funds in the Town Center Project area by year 2016 (or a
total of approximately 13.5 million dollars). With the $5 million
dollar anticipated deferred housing set-aside obligation in the
Town Center Project Area through fiscal year 1996-97, total set-
aside funds available in the Town Center Project could approach
$18.5 million dollars over the next 15 years.
The amount of housing set-aside funds potentially available as well
as complexities of state redevelopment law regulating their use,
necessitates preparation of a comprehensive housing set-aside
program and citywide housing strategy. Recent modification to
federal law also require preparation of a Housing Strategy Plan as
a condition of the future receipt of federal grant funds.
Preparation of this plan was originally programmed for this fiscal
year. In order to complete this effort as soon as possible and
obtain the best possible program, outside consultant services are
necessary. We have selected the firm of David Rosen and Associates
for the program. Mr. Rosen's firm is a nationally recognized firm
with offices in Oakland and Irvine who specializes in development
of comprehensive strategies for the use of housing set-aside funds.
A selected list of some of their public agency clients currently
include the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; the
Counties of Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Joaquin; the cities of
San Diego, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Long Beach, Orange,
Irvine, Brea and Rancho Cucamonga.
The proposed contract and scope of services is attached. The
maximum not to exceed price for preparation of the plan is $90,000.
In addition to preparation of the Housing Set -Aside Plan and
Strategy, the contract provides for the authorization of additional
services (estimated at approximately $10,000) which must first be
agreed to in writing by the contract officer. We anticipate that

South-Central/Town Center RDA Set -Aside Program and Citywide Housing Strategy
Scope of Work and Budget
City of Tustin
1. Kick -Off Meeting
The Consultants will attend an all -day meeting with staff to familiarize the Consultants with the
City and to refine the scope of work and schedule.
2. Review Housing Need and Market Data
Considerable work has been done to assess affordable housing needs and market conditions as
part of the City of Tustin General Plan and Housing Element Revision currently underway.
City staff will provide the Consultant data on current housing needs (overpayment,
overcrowding, rehabilitation, and special housing needs populations) and projected future
housing needs (SCAG RHNA, other).
The Consultant will work with staff to identify potential locations for affordable housing
development and preservation. The Consultant may identify an inventory of possible sites, and
may identify additional need data useful to the housing strategy.
3. Housing Affordability Gap Analysis
Upon compiling and reviewing housing cost data, the Consultant will conduct a housing
affordability gap analysis. The Consultant will develop accurate estimates of housing
affordability gaps at various income levels and family sizes based on a review of market and
income data in Tustin, as well as our own considerable experience in Southern California
Estimates of the affordability gap will document the difference between the cost of providing
certain housing, both renter and owner, and the amount households at different income levels
can afford to pay for housing. The affordability gap analysis provides an understanding of the
need for new subsidy capital if a jurisdiction is to adopt an affordable housing strategy
responsive to local needs and resources. The following steps would be followed:
Define target income levels (we propose to analyze two income levels");
11. Estimate affordable monthly housing costs;
3. Develop housing cost prototypes (rental and ownership units, two prototypes
will be developed for each);
4. Calculate affordability gap between the amount households can afford to pay
versus prototypical housing costs; and,
5. Calculate subsidy needs.
Target income levels will be selected in consultation with staff.
David Paul Rosen & Associates
4. Review Local Programs, Non -Local Resources and Legal Requirements
The purpose of these activities is to assure that the Consultant will appropriately advise the
Agency and City in developing its Affordable Housing Strategy within the context of its
housing needs, current and past programs, current and prospective revenue resources available
for affordable housing, and current and proposed land use policies.
a. Local Programs and Resources
City staff will provide information to the Consultants on existing programs and current
and projected resources for the South -Central Redevelopment Agency Housing Set -
Aside Program. The Consultants will review and comment on program guidelines for
the private property housing improvement within the South -Central area, which have
received a combined funding commitment of $550,000 for FY 1992/93.
b. Leverage Opportunities
Consultants will conduct a comprehensive review and description of currently available
leverage opportunities for affordable housing subsidies from non -City sources.
Leverage opportunities will be comprehensively surveyed among state, federal and
private sector sources. This review will describe programs available to Tustin, associated
program requirements, and remaining available funding levels. The following non -local
sources will be among those analyzed: State Department of Housing and Community
Development, California Housing Finance Agency, Federal and State Low Income
Housing Tax Credits, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Orange
County Housing Authority, community reinvestment loan commitments from private
lenders, non-profit intermediaries and other private sector resources.
The Consultant will also assist the Agency and the City in establishing an appropriate
long term leverage goal for non -City affordable housing resources.
C_ Legal Requirements
The Consultant will identify how the City can best comply with the Federal and State
regulations governing their housing efforts. The first is the City's compliance with the
requirement of the Cranston -Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 to
submit to HUD the Comprehensive Housing: Affordability Strategy (CHAS) by
October 31, 1991. Second, the Consultant will address compliance under the recently
stiffened requirements pursuant to the California Housing Element law, as administered
by HCD. Third, the Consultant will address Redevelopment Agency funding,
replacement housing and inclusionary housing obligations within redevelopment
project areas.

David Paul Rosen be Associates
5. Housing Assistance Policies
The strategy must be informed by policies which provide clear guidance for the targeting of
limited City and leveraged resources. The consultants will clarify and recommend
modifications to current RDA prioritization, goals and policies. Policy guidelines may include
but will not be limited to such issues as income targeting, definition of affordable housing
expense, mix of unit sizes, leverage goal for non -City affordable housing subsidy sources,
compliance with state and federal legal requirements, tenure, affordability term, compliance with
City standards and procedures, Article 34, location, housing type and tenure, energy efficiency,
efficient and innovative program design, mixed use projects, public/private partnerships, and
other factors.
6. Housing Assistance Goals and Capital Plan Requirements
Once the housing assistance policies described above are established, specific housing
assistance goals specifying the number of households to be assisted by tenure, family income,
family size and special needs population. They will also describe achievable objectives over a
ten-year period.
DRA will detail the affordable housing capital requirements needed to achieve these assistance
goals. These capital requirements will be categorized by:
• Subsidy capital
• Debt capital
• Equity capital
7. Affordable Housing Program Elements and Implementation Plan
The Consultant will prepare program descriptions and recommendations for a variety of
program elements suggested as necessary to carry out the assistance goals of the Affordable
Housing Strategy.
Program elements to be considered may include the following, as well as others:
• Emergency foreclosure and rent relief;
• Housing rehabilitation grants or loans;
• Mortgage "buy -down" and "second loan" programs to assist qualified home
purchasers in obtaining financing for the acquisition of housing units;
• New affordable housing construction;
• Transitional and single -room occupancy housing (including potential use of
Base "bachelor" units);
• Mobile home park purchase assistance;
3
David Paul Rosen & Associates
• Syndications using Federal and State Low Income Housing and Federal
Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits;
• Negotiations with developers for inclusionary components to overall
development plans;
• Acquisition of existing housing;
• Preservation of existing affordable housing at -risk of conversion to market rate;
• Creation of a non-profit Housing Development Corporation.
• Community lending partnerships with financial institutions under the
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and the Financial Institutions Reform,
Responsibility and Enforcement Act (FIRREA); and,
• Development of a community involvement and public information component to
create promotional materials marketing the various programs for distribution to
the target audiences.
Consultants will work to design program elements so that they are consistent with Agency
housing assistance policies and the City's Housing Element and feasible within the City's
