Agenda Report June 19, 2018 Page 2 COORELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN The sale of 370 Flyers Lane 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 370 Flyers Lane. The assumption of assets and functions became effective February 1, 2012. On January 16, 2018, the Tustin Housing Authority Commission ("Commission") authorized the purchase of 370 Flyers Lane at a Trustee's Sale, in order to preserve an affordable low income unit. The City closed escrow on the purchase on March 1, 2018. On March 7, 2018, the Commission authorized the sale of 370 Flyers Lane 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 five offers, the Authority is recommending acceptance of the offer from Annicia Chihying Chen and Emma Kao. 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.
