COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 07/06/2009 Agenda lIem Number: --IL59. -.. L c c ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDED INTERMEDIARY SERVICES PROVIDERS IN SUPPORT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM ("NSP") REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL ("RFP") BACKGROUND: On November 17, 2008, the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ("Council") approved the City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency's ("Agency") response to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program ("NSP,,), The Agency's plan for deploying the NSP funds was detailed in the Agency's "Substanlial Amendment to the fiscal Year 2008-2009 Annual Action Plan". As described in this amendment, the Agency plans to allocate its NSP award of approximately $8.4 million among four different housing sub- components. These four sub-components are: (I) Down Payment Assistimce ($920,000); (2) Housing Opportunities for Households at or below 50% Area Median Income ("AMI") ($2. I million); (3) Acquisition, Demolition and Redevelopment ($920,000); and (4) Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resale of single-family . residences, better known as the Intermediary Services Program ("Program") ($3.7 million). The remainder of the funds shall be used to pay for NSP administrative costs. Of the four sub-components mentioned above, the Program most directly addresses the foreclosure crisis currently affecting the single-family home market in the City of San Bemardino ("City"). for the period beginning January I, 2008 and ending March 31, 2009, the City had 3,799 foreclosures of residential dwellings.! . (Please see the attached map of the City that identifies the location of these properties identified as Attachment "I "). Under this Program, foreclosed upon homes will be acquired at a discount, either by the Agency or Agency approved Intermediaries, and then the homes will be rehabilitated and resold to homebuyers whose household income is at or below 120% AMI. Since the foreclosure problem is evident throughout the City, the Agency originally planned to make the Program available on a city-wide basis using NSP funds. However, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") determined the Agency needed to focus its NSP funds in those areas of the City Ihat had been most negatively impacted by the foreclosure .crisis. As a result, the Agency utilized and relied upon the melhodology and data prepared by HUD, to conduct its needs analysis of specific geographic areas of the City. The three metrics provided by HUD used to make this determination included: (I) the incidence of sub-prime mortgages, (2) the foreclosure and abandonment risk level and (3) the projected foreclosure rate for the next 18 months. The Agency sludied these three factors for all census tract blocks within the City. Those census tract blocks registering the highest reading for each of the above three metrics were determined 10 be the areas within the City wilh Ihe greatest need. further, the Agency determined that certain census tract blocks, primarily within Wards 1,2, and 6 were most severely impacted by the foreclosure crisis. These census tract blocks were combined to form the NSP Target Zone, which was ultimately accepted by HUD (please see Attachment "2"). 1 Source: RealtyTrac P:\AgendasIComm Dev Commission\CDC 2009\07-06-09 NSP Intermediary Services SR,doc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 07/0612009 Agenda Item Number: Lset Economic Development Agency Staff Report NSP Intermediary Services _ Page 2 \..- CURRENT ISSUE: As a policy goal of implementing the Program on a city-wide basis, the Agency recommends using NSP funding to acquire and rehabilitate properties within the NSP Target Zone, and utilizing tax increment housing set-aside funds to subsidize the rehabilitation of those homes located outside of the NSP Target Zone. Please see the attached map for a depiction of the City areas falling outside the NSP Target Zone (Attachment "3"). Funding for the Intennediary Services Program needs to be bifurcated in this fashion because, according to HUD regulations, NSP funds can only be spent within the NSP Target Zone. However, this is not an impediment to making the Program available on a city-wide basis since the Agency can use other funding sources, such as the tax increment housing sel-aside funds, to promote the rehabilitation of foreclosed homes outside of the NSP Target Zone. The end result will be that the foreclosure problem will be addressed by the Agency on a city-wide basis, but it will use different funding sources for homes within the NSP Target Zone than those falling outside of the Target Zone. The Agency has completed its procurement process, and as a result, has identified five finns to partner with to rehabilitate and resell foreclosed upon residential properties and maintain the program requirements and policy objectives of the Program. Major milestones in the Agency's procurement process were as follows: . /- '- . . . . . The issuance ofthe NSP Intennediary Services Request for Proposal ("RFP") on February 20, 2009. RFP mailed electronically and through U.S. Mail to a long list of finns previously known to the Agency. Also, the RFP was posted on the Agency's website. Advertisement of the RFP in the San Bemardino County Sun newspaper on March 3, 2009. Proposers Conference held at the Agency's offices on March 4, 2009. Proposals submitted to the Agency on March 20, 2009; there were II responses, seven of which were deemed responsive. Proposals were further evaluated by the review panel starting March 23, 2009. Interviews of the seven remaining finns, were carried ou! on April 14, 2009; five fmns were recommended for inclusion in the Agency's pool of qualified Intennediaries as a result ofthis procurement process. The review panel consisted of the following Agency Staff, as well as extemal housing professionals: I. Direclor of Housing and Community Developmenl, EDA, San Bernardino, CA. 2. Project Manager, EDA, San Bemardino, CA. 3. Director of Acquisitions, National Core Developers, Rancho Cucamonga, CA. 4. Vice President, Construction, Vanir Construction Management, Inc., San Bemardino, CA. 5. Financial Development Officer, Major Projects, Los Angeles Housing Department, Los Angeles, CA. Upon reviewing the applications, the review panel detennined the respondents could be grouped into two primary categories: (1) Smaller, local developers with a focus on San Bernardino and neighboring Inland Empire communities, and (2) Integrated, non-profit housing organizations with significant resources seeking to enter the Inland Empire market. Because these two types of entities are vastly different in tenns of resources and focus, the review panel decided to separate the two types of finns. The smaller/local developers were compared to each other and the integrated/non-profits were compared to their peers, as well. c COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 07/0612009 Agenda Item Number: -.fl.~ P:\Agendas\Comm Dtv Commission\CDC 2009\07.Q6..Q9 NSP Inlmnediary Services SR-doc Economic Development Agency Staff Report NSP Intermediary Services f Page 3 "- .- -- ,,-...

The final five finns were recommended based on a scoring system which took into account industry experience, organizational capacity, pricing competitiveness and the completeness of the application. The finns that scored the lowest within each of the two categories named above were withdrawn from the final pool. This left the following five remaining finns: SmallerILocal Develooers ANR Industries, Inc., Santa Fe Springs, CA G.F.R.

Please see Attachment "4" for a listing of these controls. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact to the City's General Fund. The services provided under the Intennediary Services Program and the associated administration costs will be funded either with NSP funds derived from HOD or funds from the Agency's Tax Increment Housing Set-Aside. As it relates to the Agency's Tax Increment Housing Set-Aside Funds, funds have already been allocated to assist with NSP activities in the fonn of the Agency's citywide Housing Assistance Program. Additional funds will be allocated for Ihis aClivity in the Agency's 2009-2010 Fiscal Year Budget. . RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Development Commission adopt the attached Resolution.

This is a one-time fixed fee.

Provide an affirmative marketing plan and procedures for all developments with designated Rehabilitated Properties. Procedures to be used must identify how persons in the housing market area who are not likely to apply for the housing without special outreach shall be informed and made aware of available affordable housing opportunities. The Agency has identified two groups as least likely to apply without special outreach efforts, namely, African-American and Hispanic persons. 2. The Agency or designee's AffIrmative Marketing Plan shall consist of a written marketing strategy designed to provide information and to attract eligible persons in the housing market area to the available Rehabilitated Properties without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, marital and familial status, disability, medical condition, '-" sexual orientation, or ancestry. It shall describe initial advertising, outreach (community contacts) and other marketing activities, which will inform potential buyers of the availability of the Rehabilitated Properties. It shall also outline an outreach program which includes special measures designed to attract those groups identified as least likely to apply without special outreach efforts, (because of existing neighborhood racial or ethnic patterns, location of housing or other factors) and other efforts designed to attract persons from the total eligible population. 3. Insert Equal Housing Opportunity logotype, statement or slogan on all written outreach tools (i.e., signs, advertisements, brochures, direct mail solicitations, press releases, etc.) 4. In addition to the above, the Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan shall outline: a. Commercial Media to be used (i.e., community newspapers and non-English language newspapers, radio, television, billboards, religious or local real estate publications, etc.). b. Marketing efforts to be used (i.e., brochures, letters, handouts, direct mail, signs, etc.) .,..,- '-" . .29- c c. Community contacts to. supplement formal communications media for the purpose of soliciting those groups least likely to purchase the available housing without special outreach efforts. They should be individuals or organizations (i.e., service agencies, community organizations, places of worship, etc.) that have direct and frequent contact with those identified as least likely to apply. The contacts should also be chosen on the basis of their pOsitions of influence within the general community and the particular target group. The Agency or its designees must agree to establish and maintain contact with the identified contacts. 5. The Agency or designee shall maintain records of all prospective homebuyer applicants, including their race, ethnicity and gender, reasons for denial of application, placement on a waiting list, etc. 6. The Agency or designee shall also provide for the selection of applicants from a written waiting list in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is practicable, and provide prompt written notification to any rejected applicants of the grounds for any rejection. c 7. The Agency or designee shall apply for first trust deed financing to be applied towards the purchase of a Rehabilitated Property from a lender listed on the Agency's Approved Lender List. If the Qualified Homebuyer elects to use a lender that is not on the Agency's Approved Lender List, then the Agency or designee need to demonstrate and document that the Qualified Homebuyer applied and was qualified for a first mortgage loan by an Agency approved lender.
