multiple district agencies, including DCHA, DHCD, the Department of Behavioral Health, the
Department of Human Services, and the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency. Of the

develop affordable housing and permanent supportive housing units for extremely low income
families making zero to thirty percent of the areas median income, as well as the chronically
homeless and individuals with mental or physical disabilities throughout Washington, DC.
After meeting the requirements for DHCD review and LRSP subsidy eligibility, proposals were
evaluated on various underwriting and prioritization criteria including financial feasibility, project
sustainability, development team capacity, amount of capital requested, nonprofit participation,
and furtherance of the development of affordable housing. Additionally, DCHA has determined
that the proposed project meets the District of Columbias Consolidated Plan and the Mayors

None.
(F) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its organization,

sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:
MDXL Flats Apartments MDXL Flats (project) involves the new construction of 101 units of
affordable rental housing at the intersection of First and Q Streets SW Washington, DC. The
Owner/Borrowing Entity of this property will be TM Jacob 1530 LLC, a Joint Venture (JV)
between UPO Community Development Corporation (51% JV member) and TM Associates
Development, Inc. (39.2% JV Member) and 1530 1st Street SW, LLC (9.8% JV Member). The
JV acquired the project in March 2018 and is the current owner for the property. TM Associates
Development, Inc. will be the Sponsor/Developer of the project. TM Jacob 1530 LLC will utilize
a combination of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity, bank or tax-exempt bond
debt, DHCD loans, deferred developer fee, and net operating income to finance the ~$68M
development budget.
The project will include twenty-one units (21%) reserved for permanent supportive housing that
will include an array of support services offered by UPO and their network of partner
organizations. Five units (8% of total units) will be fully accessible, meeting the full Uniform
Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) requirements and an additional five units will meet Type
A requirements. Four of the twenty-one PSH units (21% of PSH units) will be UFAS units. The
project design includes 1-, 2- 3-and 4-bedroom units. 100% of the units will be affordable to
households earning incomes at or below 50% of AMI. 21 of the units will be affordable to
households earning incomes at or below 30% of AMI.
Mohan Jacob acquired the property originally to develop a commercial office space. Mariam and
Mohan Jacob decided to develop the property as a two-story 12,000 ft. building custom built for a
school for Special Education children assigned to the DC school system. High Road Middle
School was developed and started at the building in 2006 and continued until 2016. This school at
this property became a model for the (Special ED) children and they were able to build it
specifically to meet the specific needs of the children attached to the school. Mr. Jacob was the
developer and general contractor for the School. Mr. Jacob has extensive construction experience
of 35 years, working as a contractor for the various federal agencies around Washington DC area.
Mariam and Jacob took a personal interest with his constructions team in developing this project
on time with excellent quality and exceeding expectations of the tenants. This building has served
for 11 years for the school system until the contractor completed the term contract successfully
with the DC school system. The building is still at the site looks almost like the date it was built
and occupied. This speaks for the quality of the original building construction and the minimal
maintenance required as the infrastructure and the finishers were built to last.
Aware of the Districts affordable housing crisis, Mr. Jacob felt this project would answer the call
to produce quality affordable housing for individuals and families at or below 50% AMI in a
rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Mr. Jacob reached out to TM Associates to partner in this
project as a Phase II to the recently DHCD awarded affordable housing development known as
1550 First Street SW (MDX Flats). MDX Flats is scheduled to complete construction in June
2021. TM Associates Development, Inc. has over 40 years of experience in affordable housing
2
 development and management throughout the mid-Atlantic region and currently own and manage
over 240 properties (12,000+ units). TM has successfully partnered with UPO on four different
projects in Virginia and one in the District. UPOs non-profit participation coupled with their
experience of providing supportive housing services within the District made a perfect pairing to
complete the JV. Mr. Jacob is a partner who will be working side-by-side with the development
team for the oversight of design and construction of the proposed Work Force Affordable housing
facility.
The JV has met with the Ward 6 ANC board regarding the development of this project and has
toured the site with them as well as taken a neighborhood tour to garner feedback from the local
community to address their certain needs. The development of this project was met with full
support by the ANC. In addition, the JV met with Ward 6 Council Member Charles Allen to brief
him on the proposed development. Furthering their community outreach efforts, the JV has also
met with and has the support of the Community Benefits Coordinating Council, whose agenda is
to maintain social diversity in both Southeast and Southwest quadrants of Washington, DC.
