The proposed bill seeks to amend the existing Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) loan agreement with 3534 East Cap Venture LLC by increasing the loan amount by $3,752,901, raising the total from $20,615,633 to $24,368,534. This additional funding is aimed at supporting an operating reserve and covering eligible expenses such as aged accounts payables and deferred repairs for the preservation of 137 affordable rental housing units at 3534 East Capitol Street NE in Ward 7. The contract is structured as a 40-year agreement with a 3% simple interest rate, designed to stabilize the project, which has faced financial challenges due to rent collection losses exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The amendment also modifies the repayment structure, specifying that repayments will be made from 100% of Available Cash Flow for Tranche B until fully repaid, after which repayments will shift to 75% of Available Cash Flow. Additionally, the definition of "Available Cash Flow" is updated, replacing previous definitions in the loan agreement with a new one that outlines cash flow sources and applicable deductions. The bill reaffirms all representations and covenants under the original loan documents, ensuring the amended documents remain effective. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance the operational framework of housing finance in the district, facilitating better management of housing resources and improving the effectiveness of the HPTF in supporting affordable housing initiatives.
