JOINT PUBLIC HEARING -2006 HOME COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
ORGANIZATION (CHDO) CAPACITY BUILDING AGREEMENT WITH ARROYO
VALLEY COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, A NON-PROFIT
CORPORATION
BACKGROUND/CURRENT ISSUE:
Under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") HOME Investment
Partnership Program, HUD allocates funds to eligible state and local governments to strengthen public-
private partnerships to provide affordable housing throughout the nation. State and local governments
may use HOME Funds to carry out multi-year housing strategies through acquisition of land or
acquisition of existing housing units, rehabilitation of housing units and new construction of single
and/or multi-family rental units. Specifically, the fundamental purpose of the HOME program is to
expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable rental housing. Typically, state and local
governments provide affordable housing by working in concert with eligible non-profit housing
organizations or through experienced private housing developers.
The City of San Bernardino (City) annually receives HOME Funds from HUD and in 2006, the City
received One Million Five Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Fifty-Nine Dollars ($1,563,059). Of this
amount, not more than five percent (5%) (Seventy-Eight Thousand One Hundred Fifty-Three Dollars
($78,153)) may be set aside for Community Housing Development Organization ("CHDO")
administration and capacity building. These funds are primarily used to build the capacity of non-
profit organizations with the ultimate goal of producing and preserving affordable housing units that
will be owned and operated, and/or sold by a CHDO for occupancy by low- and moderate-income
households in the City earning not more than eighty percent (80%) of the San Bernardino County Area
Median Income. Not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the annual grant is required to be set aside for
approved CHDO housing activities Two Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Nine
Dollars ($234,459) such as new housing development, acquisition, and/or rehabilitation of multi-
family properties; and the remaining eighty percent (80%) (One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Four Hundred Forty-Seven Dollars ($1,250,447)) is to be used for other housing programs such as the
homebuyer program, acquisition, new housing development, rehabilitation projects and program
administration.
Arroyo Valley Community Economic Development Corporation ("Arroyo"), a non-profit corporation,
is a 501(c)(3) corporation located in the City at 1264 South Waterman Avenue, Suite 27. Arroyo's
goal is to provide outreach programs and services to enhance the quality of life by providing low and
moderate-income housing, business development, job development, vocational training and
educational assistance in the City. Tony Dupre, the principal of Arroyo has the background and
experience in developing other in-fill single-family homes in and around the City.
Staff has reviewed Arroyo's application and certified Arroyo as a CHDO per federal HOME
requirements, and Arroyo is eligible to receive HOME funding under the fifteen percent (15%) CHDO
requirement and the five percent (5%) operating expenses as per the 2005-2010 Five-Year

(1) single-family home to a low- and moderate-income household within eighteen (18) months and if
Arroyo is unable to perform within this time period, Arroyo will be required to repay the Agency the

period.
