The proposed bill authorizes a loan of $14,222,891 from the Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) to 2151 California Associates LLC for the development and preservation of 23 affordable rental housing units at 2151 California Street NW, Washington, DC. The loan will cover various project expenses, including acquisition, predevelopment, soft costs, and rehabilitation hard costs, with a repayment term of 43 years at a 3% simple interest rate. The bill emphasizes the project's alignment with the Department of Housing and Community Development's goals to provide affordable housing for low-to-moderate income residents and includes stipulations for compliance with local and federal regulations, including maintaining affordability through covenants.
Additionally, the bill modifies the existing Loan Agreement by amending Section 4.8.1(3) to specify that the loan amount will be reduced by fifty cents for every dollar of additional funding committed to the project after the closing date, unless the funding is from a non-lender source. It also introduces a rider related to Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), defining "Equity Investor" and outlining the lender's obligations regarding default notifications. The bill aims to ensure that the project adheres to federal and local labor standards, including compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and the Housing and Urban Development Act, while enhancing protections for vulnerable populations and ensuring transparency in the management of funds.
