Explanation
§ This action will not obligate the City financially or impact the Capital Investment Plan and is requested to satisfy Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, which requires the issuance of housing bonds be approved by the local governmental unit with jurisdiction over the area where the development is located.
§ INLIVIAN is requesting that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of new multi-family housing revenue bonds for North Tryon Homes, a 180-unit new construction affordable housing development, to be developed, owned, and operated by North Tryon Homes, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company.
§ The development is currently under construction, is located at 5301 North Tryon Street in Council District 4, and will serve households earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) with income averaging of 60 percent of AMI for the entire development.
§ This action further supports City Council’s July 22, 2019, approval of a $2,000,000 Housing Trust Fund allocation for the development. Additionally, on July 27, 2020, City Council approved INLIVIAN’s request to issue initial multi-family housing revenue bonds in the amount of $22 million.
§ The new INLIVIAN bonds, which are not to exceed $2,500,000, are being requested for additional expenses experienced by the developer as a result of increasing construction costs and will be used to finance completion of the development.
Background
§ The developer applied for four percent low-income housing tax credits and the initial and new housing bond allocation capacity from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to finance the land acquisition and construction of the development.
§ The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency approved the applications pursuant to its Qualified Allocation Plan and awarded the requested four percent tax credits and initial $22 million bond allocation and has approved the new additional bond allocation capacity totaling $2,500,000 for the development. Tax credit and bond allocations are subject to federal income limits and set-aside rules and include deed restrictions.
§ INLIVIAN, as a public housing authority, is duly authorized to issue housing bonds to finance developments that serve persons of low and moderate income, including developments in which it does not have a direct interest.
