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 the city to adopt a resolution authorizing the reissuance of multi-family housing revenue bonds for Allen Street Residences, a 112-unit affordable housing development community owned and operated by Allen Street Residential, LLC, an affiliate of Laurel Street Residential, LLC, in partnership with St. Paul Baptist Church.
§ City Council originally approved this action on November 23, 2015. This subsequent action is necessary to enable the developer to convert their construction financing to permanent financing and is necessary to satisfy Section 147(f) of the IRS Code of 1986. The conversion is scheduled to occur on June 1, 2020.
§ The development was completed and placed in service in 2017. The development is located at 1322 Allen Street in the Belmont community in Council District 1 and serves senior and family households earning up to 60 percent of the Area Median Income.
§ The bonds are part of the developer’s original financing plan that includes a $4,350,000 Housing Trust Fund (HTF) allocation approved by City Council on April 27, 2015.
Background
§ In 2015, the developer applied for Housing Trust Fund support from the city, and four percent low income housing tax credits and a housing bond allocation from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA), to finance the construction of the development. The NCHFA approved a four percent tax credit allocation and a bond allocation capacity totaling $8,000,000.
§ On November 23, 2015, City Council approved the original issuance of the $8,000,000 housing bonds, which did not impact the city’s Capital Investment Plan or Housing Trust Fund.
§ INLIVIAN agreed to assist in financing the development by issuing the bonds; INLIVIAN has no further interest in the development beyond acting as the bond issuer.
§ INLIVIAN, as a public housing authority, is duly authorized to issue/reissue housing bonds to finance developments that serve persons of low and moderate income, including developments in which it does not have a direct interest.
