Agenda Report February 6, 2018 Page 2 COORELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN The sale of 1345 Sun Dial Drive as a market rate unit supports Goal C: sustaining long- term financial strength and enhancing capacity to provide a sustainable level of City services. BACKGROUND On March 15, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11-20 establishing the Tustin Housing Authority ("Authority") in accordance with the California Housing Authorities Law. As a result of Redevelopment Dissolution, on January 17, 2012, the Housing Authority Commissioners adopted Resolution HA No. 12-01, approving the assumption of housing assets and functions previously performed by the former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, including 1345 Sun Dial Drive. The assumption of assets and functions became effective February 1, 2012. On May 16, 2017, the Tustin Housing Authority Commission ("Commission") authorized the purchase of 1345 Sun Dial Drive at a Trustee's Sale, in order to preserve an affordable very low income unit. The City closed escrow on the purchase on August 24, 2017. On September 19, 2017, the Commission authorized the sale of 1345 Sun Dial Drive at a market rate price. The Authority engaged The Stepanian Group with Keller Williams Realty to market the property. The Stepanian Group has represented numerous buyers and sellers associated with the Authority's affordable housing program. After receiving thirteen offers, the Authority is recommending acceptance of the offer from An Truong and Vangie Tran. The price and terms will be discussed in Closed Session and the Purchase Agreement will be distributed at the time of the meeting. Under Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1, LMIHAF's first priority is to monitor and preserve the long-term affordability of units subject to affordability covenants. The market rate sale of this home increases the Authority's LMIHAF and insures funding is available to continue monitoring and preserving the long-term affordability of our units. Staff is available for any questions the Commission and City Council may have. n Buchanan Jerry Craig c or of Economic Development Deputy Dire r outhority c4)nic Development Tustin Housing Authority Tustin Homan
