(a nonprofit developer)to dramatically increase the construction of new home ownership units that are affordable to low and moderate income families. • Mobile Home Parks. Security, Pioneer Key 1 and Pioneer Key 2 • Wrust Roads (Northwest Quadrant) The Challenge: The City of Ocoee will have difficulty establishing market driven housing opportunities in older low income neighborhoods without the help of a proactive nonprofit. Redevelopment efforts in these neighborhoods are risky considering that they are forsaken areas that the local government has struggle with how to revitalize and often lack sufficient infrastructure. Redevelopment often involves the demolition, clearing title, assembling land, cleaning up brown fields, relocating residents or business and correcting infrastructure deficiencies. Development costs often exceed the appraised value of the end product (because the lack of recent development activity means no "comparables") thus obtaining financing for unsubsidized projects is problematic. Barriers: The addressing of specific areas that inhibit market driven housing development is necessary .. for success. These included: 1. Land Assembly and Inventory 2. Infrastructure Cost 3. Pre-designed and Permitted Plans 4. Financing: predevelopment, construction and permanent 5. Home Ownership Counseling 8 Processing 6. Lack of Political Will Nonprofit developers need predevelopment financial assistance to cover the extraordinary costs associated with redevelopment of low income neighborhood. Additional implementation dollars are needed for counseling and processing activities. ' For profits have looked at these areas and see that they can not make a profit unless they sell higher price housing which is out of range out of the range of the moderate and low income people. The use of CDBG funds to improve infrastructure in poor areas only leads to gentrification without the direct involvement of a plan described above. 501 (c)(3)Corporation This creative partnership solves the economic revitalization of housing and the moral commitment to lower income people to help bring them out of the slums and blight areas. Package: The Executive Summary and profiles of the revitalization team are enclosed as part of a proposal to revitalize the community and eliminate slum and blight. As you will see there are many years of experience that is being brought to bear on this proposed project: over 100 Million of housing experience Section 1: Executive Summary Section 2: Thomas N. Alston, Section 3: John R. Parke III Section 4: Gene Whitlock Section 5: James C. Allison Section 6: Huberta M. Davis ' Section 7: William V. Chappell ' I look forward to discussing the details and action needed to start this plan. Sincerely, With kind regards, I am Sincerely, Thomas N. Alston President 501 (c)(3)Corporation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ECONOMIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CITY OF OCOEE PROGRAM VISION On April 15, 1996, United Community Development Inc. was created to significantly expand the availability of decent, safe, and economic driven housing for first time home buyers and other families who are not being adequately served by the existing markets. United Community Development has, as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), the primary focus to revitalize and eliminate slum and blighted communities and deteriorating urban and rural areas by the use of "Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities". This is used to eliminate the underlying causes for the at-risk citizenry and improvement of the conditions of the designated target areas; thereby promoting an upward economic mobility into succeeding generations. SPECIAL PUBLIC BENEFITS: 1) Reestablish Community Pride and Development; 2) Reduction of Crime; 3) Increase Tax Base. The humane concept of a helping hand is used versus the hand out process that will not work in freeing and encouraging people to develop their full potential. PROGRAM MISSION The program is designed to accomplish three major objectives: • Neighborhood revitalization: new construction, acquisition with replacement of existing housing stock and acquisition of vacant land • Leveraging of City, County, State and private funds • Production of quality, economic driven, housing that makes a visible impact in the selected target area(s) The principal and staff of United Community Development has an extensive record of performance and capacity to carry out its project responsibilities as developer, builder and overall management. In the last few years there has been the development of over$100 million in real estate projects including over $70 million in affordable housing in the United Sates Virgin Islands, Illinois and Florida. Projects can be review in the resume section of the principal and staff. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION United Community Development, Inc. (UCDINC) will be doing a similar role to that of a public housing authority, to address the housing and economic development needs within the targeted areas of the City of Ocoee. A blending of very low, low and moderate income groups into moderate income housing areas has worked best in breaking the cycle of income stagnation. The development of economic based housing for all moderate income groups and below will be the goal. 1. Targeted Areas Selection: Targeted areas will be selected after consultation with the City; input as to their preference is desired to enable the concentration of effort in one or two target areas that will produce the most visible and community impact. The ultimate goal is to combat deteriorating communities and to revitalize and stabilize slums and blighted communities to make them a productive economic unit. Overall economic growth for Ocoee, as a progressive and active city will be displayed. This housing plan goes beyond traditional thinking of grouping by income class to the paradigm shift of integration of income groups to encourage personal growth and development for human dignity. 2. Unit Identification & Selection: The identification and selection of eligible units and areas for reconstruction or new construction development will be dependent upon several factors: a. The unit must meet the definition of a dilapidated unit as defined by the City or at y a minimum be structurally unsound and/or economically unfeasible to rehabilitate. b. The unit selected must be located on a site suitable and acceptable for environmental clearance compliance, will meet county construction requirements (permitting, zoning, setbacks, etc.), have adequate sewer or septic capacity .. availability, and have public infrastructure in place. c. Upon selection of one or two target areas and the further identification of areas of concentration within the target area(s), an initial windshield survey will be conducted to identify a minimum of 150 dilapidated units appearing to meet the unit identification and selection criteria established. One on one housing inspections will then be performed until a minimum of 20 to 40 units are identified for possible assistance, dependent upon fulfillment of all other program requirements, including household and income eligibility verifications. Selection and final approval of properties selected for reconstruction will include the involvement of the Community Development Team. ,. d. The same standards apply for new construction or development of additional housing economically driven such as duplexes, quad-duplex and income blended Section 8 apartments. 3. Marketing and Outreach: Marketing and outreach efforts will be highly concentrated; depending on the areas selected for focus. Outreach efforts will be accomplished through informational brochures, door-to-door surveys, advertising, and community meetings as necessary. To ensure that the housing program addresses the needs of very low to moderate-income persons, a survey and analysis of population data will be done to develop the scope of work. An intake and counseling center will be established and located within or near the target area(s) with specific days and hours of operation established to accommodate on-site and one-on-one site visits by potential clients before and during the reconstruction or new construction process. 4. Applicant Screening: Interested applicants will be screened based on the following criteria: 1) household income eligibility; 2) clear title evidence; 3) ability and willingness to make a financial contribution and 4) owner/occupancy requirements. 5. Financing Options & Levels of Subsidy: Several lenders have agreed to assist UCDINC in performing an underwriting analysis and making a determination as to the applicants ability to pay by calculating the borrowing capacity of the household based on existing monthly obligations, creditworthiness and other standard underwriting criteria. It is anticipated that the very low-income households will require a larger subsidy than low to moderate income. Subsidies include but are not limited to: Orange County Down Payment Assistance, Vacant Lot Contributions by the County and City, Fast Track Priority Permitting, Zoning, Regulations by the County and City, CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds. Additional state grants from Florida Housing Finance Corporation and Federal Home Loan Bank grants can be blended into reducing closing cost and mortgage reduction. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have grants available for assistance. HUD has grants available for other life style enhancing training. Subsidies will be passed on to the homeowner where possible as a reduction of cost in the form of mortgage reduction. 6. Recapture Provisions & Mechanisms: A soft second mortgage or a letter of equity interest will provide financial protection to recapture any funds expended. Funds maybe forgiven or prorated over several years as desired by the City. 7. Construction Information: This housing will be market driven with quality moderate income floor plans, materials and configurations. Sample housing can be seen locally at Daniel's Crossing, City of Winter Garden; San Lanta in Sanford and Diamond Ridge in the City of Aubumdale y OPERATIONAL BUDGET AND LEVERAGING OF CITY FUNDS Private Mortgage Financing: Lenders will be asked to reduce or waive certain standard closing cost fees, credit ratios and provide below market interest rates, where feasible, based on a guaranteed volume of mortgages through participation in this project. It is projected that private Mortgage financing will leverage City funds on an average of 3 to 1. Additional funding from Federal, State and County will be applied for as needed to reduce down payment requirements and closing costs Construction Budget: To be determined by the amount of work required and other outside funding sources utilized. Additional funding from Federal, State and County will be applied for as needed according to the business plan developed. Program Implementation Budget: It is anticipated that the non-profit will require implementation funding that is based on attainment of goals to be determined. An initial allocation of $50,000 needs to be set aside to be drawn down as work progresses. $25,000 will be 4. required for mobilization, expenses and preliminary business plan followed by final report for$25,000 on costs and options available. • Additional steps with separate funding to be determined are: 1. Development of Policy and Procedures Manual 2. Setup of Intake and Counseling Center 3. Initial Marketing and Outreach with Surveys 4. Client assisted Intake and Screening 5. Housing Inspections and report 6. Follow up and final counseling of housing families and units constructed REVITALIZATION TEAM In-House Management: • Thomas N.
