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 (formerly the Charlotte Housing Authority) is requesting that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of multi-family housing revenue bonds for Abbington on Mt. Holly Apartments, a 102 unit new construction affordable housing development, to be developed, owned, and operated by Charlotte Abbington on Mount Holly, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation.
§ The bonds are part of the developer’s financing plan that includes a $2,000,000 Housing Trust Fund allocation approved by City Council on July 22, 2019.
§ The development will be located at 3230 Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road in Council District 2 and will serve households earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) with income averaging 60 percent of AMI for the entire development.
§ The INLIVIAN bonds, which are not to exceed $15,000,000, will be used to finance land acquisition and construction of the development.
Background
§ The developer applied for four percent low income housing tax credits and 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 application pursuant to its Qualified Allocation Plan, and awarded the requested four percent tax credits and bond allocation capacity totaling $15,000,000 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.
