Explanation
§ The 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 Code of 1986, which requires the issuance of housing bonds to 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 the Joyfield at Woodward Apartments, a 141-unit new construction affordable housing development to be developed, owned, and operated by Woodward Venture, LP, a North Carolina limited partnership (Developer) or an affiliated or related entity.
§ The development will be located on approximately three acres at 901 Woodward Avenue, near the intersection of Woodward Avenue and North Graham Street and in walking distance to Camp North End in Council District 1, and will serve households earning up to 70 percent of the area median income.
§ The INLIVIAN bonds in an amount not to exceed $16,500,000 will be used to finance land acquisition and construction of the development.
§ There is no Housing Trust Fund allocation or other city financial support affiliated with this development.
Background
§ The Developer applied for four percent low-income housing tax credits and a housing bond allocation capacity from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) to help finance the land acquisition and construction of the Development, both of which received approval from the NCHFA.
§ 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 an interest. The INLIVIAN Board of directors approved the issuance of the multi-family housing revenue bonds on August 19, 2025.
