The bill proposes an amendment to Contract No. 2014-26 with 2321 4th Street LLC, increasing the contract amount by $1,565,470, which raises the total from $6,806,239 to $8,371,709. This additional funding will be sourced from the Housing Production Trust Fund and is aimed at stabilizing 116 units of affordable housing at 2321 4th Street NE in Ward 5. The loan will maintain a 40-year term at a 1% interest rate, consistent with existing loan terms, and will be utilized to pay down an existing first trust note and establish an operating expense reserve. The amendment addresses financial challenges faced by the property, including high delinquency and vacancy rates, with the goal of achieving a 1.0 Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) within three years.

Additionally, the amendment introduces changes to the definition of "Available Cash Flow" to encompass various income sources and expenses related to the property, while certain sections of the original loan agreement are being deleted and replaced to reflect these updates. The overall aim of the amendment is to ensure the financial viability of the project, allowing it to continue providing affordable housing options in the District, particularly in light of the economic pressures exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
