DATE: April 24, 2024
SUBJECT: 2024 Master Eligibility Resolution to Expedite Project Underwriting
Background and Summary
On April 22, 2024, the DC Housing Finance Agency's (the “Agency” or “DCHFA”) Board of
Directors (the “Board”) approved a Master Eligibility Resolution of ten (10) multifamily
pipeline projects in preparation for the issuance of tax-exempt bonds (the “Master
Eligibility Resolution”). DCHFA receives approximately $350MM annually in qualified
private activity bond volume cap (“Bond Cap”) from the DC Department of Planning and
Economic Development (“DMPED”).
In March 2024, DCHFA, DMPED and DHCD executed a renewed and revised Memorandum
of Agreement which outlines how Bond Cap allocation for calendar year 2024 will occur
(the "MOA"). Normally, this MOA would be executed before the start of the subject
calendar year. However, due to transition within DMPED and other factors, the calendar
year 2024 MOA was not executed until late March 2024. Thus, Agency staff determined
that the Master Eligibility Resolution was necessary to ensure certainty of underwriting
and facilitate as many tax-exempt bond closings as possible by the end of calendar year
2024. The Agency plans to present each transaction individually to the Board for a credit
review whenthe transaction is ready to proceed toward final bond and closing. The credit
review will provide the Board with an opportunity to raise any project concerns and
questions that Agency staff will then incorporate into the underwriting process. Each
project will also return to the Board for
a Final Bond Resolution.
IL DC Council Passive Approval
The Board’s approval of the Master Eligibility Resolution allows the Agency to submit a
proposal to the DC Council for a 30-day legislative review period (See D.C. Code §42-
2702.07 (2006)) prior to the DC Council’s summer recess. Therefore, projects can
potentially close throughout the summer and early fall and assist with the Mayor's goal to
create 12,000 affordable housing units by 2025.
I Conclusion
The Board has approved the Master Eligibility Resolution, and the Agency will submit an
eligibility package to the DC Council. This will allow a passive approval timeline to
commence prior to the DC Council's summer recess period and allow transactions to close
throughout the year.
