CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Submit a Joint Application with
Eden Housing Inc. to the State of California Department of Housing and
Community Development for HOME Investment Partnerships Program Funding;
and if Selected, the Execution of a Standard Agreement, any Amendments
Thereto, and of any Related Documents Necessary to Participate in the HOME
Investment Partnerships Program
MEETING DATE: August 3,201 1
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a joint
application with Eden Housing Inc. to the State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for
HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding; and if selected, the execution of a Standard
Agreement, any amendments thereto, and of any related documents necessary to participate in the
HOME Investment Partnerships Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi is working with Eden Housing, Inc., and its affiliate,
Eden Development, Inc., toward the development of an affordable
senior housing project in Lodi, at 2245 Tienda Drive. As noted
during previous presentations to the City Council leading to the selection of the developer for this project,
Eden Housing has more than 40 years' experience in the development and management of affordable
housing projects.
Eden Housing is in the process of completing the prerequisite work for the application. Once approved,
the resolution authorizing the joint application will be included in that application. Once all supporting
documentation has been compiled and incorporated into the application document, that application will
be submitted to HCD prior to the August 16, 2011 deadline.
The maximum grant amount for HOME Project funds through HCD is $5 million. In addition to the project
funding, HCD allows State recipient agencies to request up to $100,000 for program administration and
project delivery costs. This is an amount above and beyond the requested project funding amount and is
intended to cover the requesting agency's costs in administering the project funds and specific project
delivery costs. This increases the maximum grant available to $5.1 million.
While Eden Housing has determined that the City should request $4.1 million in State HOME funds for
the initial Phase I of the project, and another $100,000 for the program administration and project
delivery, it is a standard practice and recommended by HCD that the adopted resolution provide for
funding up to the maximum grant amount available, which in this case is the $5.1 million.
APPROVED: \ —

delivery funding in this application to cover those costs.
