Meeting Minutes

Hillsborough County Affordable Housing Advisory Board (AHAB)

Meeting Date: March 9, 2020 On Monday, March 9, 2020, the Hillsborough County Affordable Housing Advisory Board (AHAB) met at 601 E. Kennedy Blvd., 26th Floor, Conference Room B. Members in Attendance: Kimberly Overman; Marc Rosenwasser; Cheri Donohue; David Hollis; Cody Powell; Katherine O’Donniley; Orlando Gudes; Chrissy Nieves. County Staff Present: Nancy Takemori, Assistant County Attorney; Cheryl Howell, Director, Affordable Housing Services; Willette Hollinger, Planning Division Manager; Michelle Boone, Compliance and Monitoring Manager; Natasha McDonald, Administrative Specialist Welcome and Introductions: Chairman Overman called the meeting to order at 9:02 AM. She announced that the House has chosen not to sweep the Sadowski Trust.

Public Comments:

Ann Madsen, Executive Director of Helen Gordon Davis Centre for Women, gave a brief presentation of the services provided by her organization. They have been doing work with owner-occupied rehab for almost 40 years through the Senior Home Improvement Program and have since changed the name to Construction Services. In the last two years they have provided services to more than 50 homes. Bishop Michelle Patty spoke about 1200 residents being displaced on November 1st at Tampa Park apartments. The residents are still responsible for paying rent or face eviction. She asked that money be used to assist residents. Shawn Wilson, Blue Sky Communities, 5300 West Cypress St. announced on March 31st at 11 am there will be a ribbon cutting for Preserve at Sable Park at the corner of Williams and Broadway.

Approval of Minutes: There was no quorum. Approval of minutes was moved further down the agenda upon the arrival of board members still in transit. Mr. Gudes made a motion to approve the February 10th minutes, seconded by Ms. Donahue. Mr. Hollis requested an amendment to the minutes to correct his attendance. He was marked absent when in fact he arrived late. Mr. Gudes motioned to approve the amended minutes, seconded by Ms. Donahue. The motion was approved unanimously. Vice Chairman Rosenwasser motioned for the February 13th minutes to be approved, seconded by Mr. Hollis. The motion was approved unanimously.

Chairman’s Report:

Ashon Nesbitt from the Florida Housing Coalition gave a presentation on Community Land Trusts. He provided the board with a Community Land Trust primer created by the Florida Housing Coalition. Local examples of Community Land Trusts in the Tampa Bay area include Bright Communities Trust and Pinellas County Government through the HFA.

Ms. Howell added she will be meeting with Vanessa McCleary on land trusts, Tampa Park, and a host of other items.

Mr. Nesbitt also provided an example of land trust being used for area revitalization. Delray Beach established a Community Land Trust through the CRA to maintain affordability within the community they were investing in to avoid displacement with increasing property values due to revitalization.

Chairman Overman stated she spoke with the Mayor and Vanessa McCleary about a partnership in developing a Community Land Trust for long term affordability and avoid gentrification. She stated she wanted the board to look at ways to adopt this and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. She suggested forming a subcommittee to work on a Community Land Trust and present to the board and that the subcommittee included representatives from the City.

Nancy Takemori gave an update on the subcommittee policy meeting. The subcommittee met to discuss the Affordable Housing Department’s internal policy regarding foreclosure, loan forgiveness a, and subordination. They had a robust discussion on whether loan forgiveness should continue to be in the policy. They don’t want to see it be frequently requested. Instead of specifically referring to loan forgiveness, in the next draft of the policy there may be a “catch-all” for other kinds of modification requests that could potentially include loan forgiveness. Ms. Howell gave an update on the role of AHAB. She was not at the subcommittee meeting, but she and Chairman Overman met afterwards and discussed the role of the board and the process. Chairman Overman and Ms. Howell agreed the role of AHAB would be pushing policy forward and staff’s role would be to support those policies. Once policy parameters are set, then staff has guidelines to go by. When the department gets requests, they will review those requests based on the policy guidelines, make recommendations to the BOCC and then bring the outcome of those recommendations back to AHAB.

Chairman Overman provided a legislation update. There is legislation coming through that impacts some of the affordable housing tools. One is Senator Hutson’s bill that’s headed to the Senate floor. The bill addresses accessory dwellings, required workshop trainings for housing advisory boards, working individuals who do not have a criminal history related to the financing, management, and construction of affordable housing. In the House and the Senate, there’s common language regarding impact fees being reported on an annual basis and submitted to the Department of Financial Services, including the purpose of the fee and the schedule of the policy. In the House, there is language being added for housing for non-profit organizations to ensure they focus on individuals with mental health needs. There’s some difference between the House and the Senate on the accessory dwelling units. She stated they will have to monitor that to see how they sync up by the time those bills go to the floor.

Chairman Overman discuss the requirement for elected officials serving on affordable housing committees to attend biannual regional workshops to discuss best practices. Ms. Howell stated she will look into bringing some outside organizations in to do the regional training for AHAB or boards in the region.

Chairman Overman stated portions of SAIL funds are to be prioritized for construction of foster care housing or persons aging out of foster care. There is a community workforce housing loan program. If this bill passes, it establishes a permanent administrative program with the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. The eligibility for workforce housing requires the total household income not to exceed 80% AMI and 120% AMI in areas of critical concern. She also discussed some data reporting requirements regarding SHIP housing. One area with SHIP and SAIL funding she is interested in watching closely is regarding the review committee considering local government policies that promote access to public transportation, reducing the need for on-site parking and expediting permits for affordable housing projects. She added that the board should keep an eye on the CS Senate Bill 998 by Senator Hutson and the House Bill 1339 by Representative Yarborough over the next week or so.

Director’s Report: Ms. Howell announced that Affordable Housing Services is currently working with Development Services on parking and fee waivers. She reported that Affordable Housing has done four projects for youth aging out of foster care. She stated the board’s support has allowed for that to occur. She reiterated some of the accomplishments for Centre for Women. She explained that their work is included in housing preservation.

Ms. Howell then moved to the nominating committee for AHAB officers that needs to take place next month. Ms. Howell stated staff would send out a Doodle Poll for availability of the subcommittee meeting. The three members who volunteered to be on the committee were Cheri Donahue, Marc Rosenwasser, and Orlando Gudes.

Layla Hartz, Interim Contracts Services Manager, gave a report on her division’s work in the community. The team is currently managing 42 active projects including 20 public facility renovations, five single-family housing rehabilitation projects, one single-family construction project, one new construction multi-family project, three land acquisition projects, and six urban county projects with the City of Temple Terrace and Plant City. They also have the Down Payment Assistance Program with the HFA.

Ms. Howell gave an update for federal, state, and local grants. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. They have a funding opportunity for $500,000. Natasha will send out the contact information to the board. Ms. Howell then gave a brief update on the approved BOCC agenda items for Affordable Housing.

Future Business:

Mr. Powell passed out a flyer from the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will be having an informational brown bag quarterly on April 13 on the 18th Floor of the County Center from noon to 1pm.

Chairman Overman discussed Tampa Park. She stated that there is a more time to come up with a concerted plan with the City and the County to assist the individuals living there. If there is some significant progress by the next meeting, it will be on the agenda. Ms. Donahue asked how many units were impacted. Mr. Gudes replied it was around 340 units.

Chairman Overman attended an event last week celebrating 3 environmental net-zero friendly properties being built in the Riverview area that allows for a home to be sustainable and protect against hurricane wind. The exterior of the building allows for less heat and a/c. They also plan to add a metal roof and add solar power. The technology has the ability to be used for multi-family properties as well as single-families. Chairman Overman would like for a future item to look at some of the policies and what the board can do to encourage this kind of construction.

Mr. Powell asked about the Able Nook tiny homes. He asked if the board could take a tour. Ms. Howell stated that Sarah Combs along with some other nonprofits took a tour. She also took Jamie Ross and her team for a tour of Able Nook. Able Nook will be presenting at the Florida Housing Coalition conference this year. She would be more than happy to set up a visit for the board.

Ms. Howell discussed the Florida Housing Coalition conference. A member of the audience stated the conference is August 23-Sept 2nd at the Rosen Centre Hotel.

Adjournment: Chairman Overman adjourned the meeting at 10:18 am.

The Affordable Housing Advisory Board adopts the meeting recap as an accurate summary and is adopted into its records as attested by: ____________________________ ____________ Chairman Date

Taylor, Jim <[email protected]>

Subject: RE: Affordable Housing legislative update

Hi Lisa,

I am attaching the most up-to-date chart for the affordable housing legislation that passed during session. It reflects the

legislation’s current status, which is in the Governor’s hands awaiting final action, and also has the breakdown of the

Sadowski funds allocated in the final budget. There has not been any budgetary action taken as it relates to the

Sadowski fund at this time, but we will continue to keep you posted. Also, though it has been rumored, a special session

has not been announced as of now.

Please let me know if you need anything else on this issue.

Thanks,

Hillsborough County, 2018 baseline to 2040

• Based on past trends and population projections by age; could change based on trends in growth, demographics, housing production

• Estimates and projections intended as illustration of scale of need over time, not hard and fast need numbers

• 0-80% AMI renters projected to grow by 7,000-11,000 households every 5 years 2020-2040

• Housing gap will grow by this amount without more preservation, production of affordable units

Summary: Scale of Need

• Min: address growth over 5-year periods

• High: address baseline

• Max: address baseline + growth through 2040

• Again, estimates to show scale of need rather than hard production targets:

• Can include household assistance (vouchers, down payment assistance, affordable home financing, etc.) and preservation, not just new unit production

• Changing housing market, population conditions will change the scale

• Changing % AMI range will change the scale

Special Topics: Mapping Gentrification

• Enterprise Communities produced the Gentrification Comparison Tool to show results of 3 methods of identifying neighborhoods that are:

• eligible to gentrify (not already upper income at a baseline year)

• gentrified (underwent neighborhood changes associated with gentrification)

• The tool includes large cities only.

• Chose method developed by Lance Freeman, which results in largest number of eligible and gentrified tracts

28

Special Topics: Mapping Gentrification

• Tracts were eligible to gentrify in 2000 if the median income was below the metro-area median and they had experienced disinvestment (older neighborhoods where the share of housing built in the prior 20 years was below the metro-area median share).

• Eligible tracts gentrified between 2000 and 2010 if their share of residents with a college degree increased more than the metro-wide value AND real house prices increased.

Financial Impact Statement:Although there is no fiscal impact related to conducting the Public Hearing, funding from HUD for the COVID-19 related strategies will be included in the FY 19 CDBG ($4,286,411) and ESG ($2,129,659) grant budgets.

Background:The Annual Action Plan is a document required by HUD and serves as a planning tool and a guide to the County's housing and development activities for the year. The Annual Action Plan addresses the use of federal funds administered by HUD and then allocated to the County in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (HESG) funds.

At the March 4, 2020 Board of County Commissioners' meeting, the Board authorized the advertising and setting of a public hearing for May 6, 2020 to consider Substantial Amendments to the PY 2014-2019 Annual Action plans to adjust the current year's project budget for CDBG funds due to delayed project schedules. Because the original May 6, 2020 public hearing notice was published prior to the BOCC meetings being held by communications media technology, the public hearing has been re-noticedfor June 3, 2020 with the virtual meeting notice information. The proposed amendments would reallocate and defer funding from the following projects: Children's Home Network (-$700,000), New Life Village (-$175,000), Sunrise Community (-$500,000), Agency for Community Treatment Services (-$500,000), Alpha House of Tampa, (-$1,000,000), Sunrise Community (-$137,299), Seminole Park (-$234,825), Miracle Walk (-$600,000), DACCO Multi Family Residential Rehab (-$500,000), and reallocate grant funds of $152,876 for a total of $4,500,000. These funds will be redirected to Multifamily (113th St. Project) Acquisition and Public Improvements projects ($3,000,000) and the Solita's House Public Facility project ($1,500,000). The proposed amendments also indicate that previously unallocated 2019 ESG funds in the amount of $40,734 will be provided to Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative (THHI). These adjustments would allow projects that have been delayed to remain approved Affordable Housing projects. These projects will not be de-funded. Funding for these projects will be deferred to PY 20 due to unavoidable delays.

In addition, in response to COVID-19, HUD has provided Hillsborough County, as an entitlement community, a special allocation of CDBG and ESG funds to assist in the response to the current public health crisis. The County will receive CDBG-CV funds in the amount of $4,286,411 to be used to cover, reimburse, prepare and respond to coronavirus related issues and ESG-CV funds in the amount of $2,129,659 to be used for Rapid Rehousing and Shelter Operations through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public Law 116-136, signed by President Trump on March 27, 2020. These funds will be used to assist eligible unincorporated Hillsborough County, Plant City and Temple Terrace residents with COVID-19 related issues. The allocation of CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funds requires a Substantial Amendment to the 2019 Annual Action Plan.The CARES Act also authorizes HUD to provide waivers to certain regulatory requirements in order to facilitate the coronavirus relief response, including allowing grantees to amend their citizen participation plans to establish expedited procedures to draft, propose or amend consolidated plans. The proposed amendment to the County's Consolidated Plan Citizen Participation Plan changes the provision for publiccomment from 30 days to no less than 5 days. The waiver authorities will be in effect through the end of the 2020 program year.

In recognition of the immediate community needs caused by the COVID-19 crisis, HUD has waived the requirement for a 30-day public comment period for certain amendments to annual action plans and consolidated plans and permits a minimum of 5-day notice period instead. This 5- day notice is applicable to the proposed Substantial Amendments to the County's 2014-2019 Annual Action Plans, andto amend the 30-day public comment period for the County's Consolidated Plan Citizens Participation Plan. Affordable Housing Services provided a public comment period of at least 5 days for the proposed amendments for the incorporation of the CARES Act funds and for the proposed changes to the Annual Action Plans and Consolidated Plan. Advertisement of the public comment period was published in local newspapers of general circulation and ethnically diverse newspapers, i.e. the Tampa Bay Times, the Sentinel and La Gaceta. In addition, the document was also placed on the Affordable Housing Services website.

No public comments have been received at the time this agenda item was submitted.

Upon approval, the County will submit the final document for approval by HUD.

List Attachments: Substantial Amendment to (PY) 2014-2019 Annual Action Plans, COVID-19 Special allocation letters for CDBG-CV and ESG-CV, CARES Act Waiver from HUD, SF-424s, SF-424Ds and Certifications, Amended Citizen Participation Plan.

Hillsborough County OKs Nearly $20 Million for Affordable HousingFunds provided by federal and state grants, County trust fund

Affordable housing remains a top priority of Hillsborough County’s Board of County Commissioners, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Packaging $19.76 million of grants and County funds to provide affordable multifamily homes reflects that commitment to helping low-income residents find decent places to live.

The Board on May 20 unanimously backed the grants plan presented by the County’s Affordable Housing Services. The money will be used to build new multifamily housing complexes and rehabilitate existing ones to accommodate 260 households with low-income rents.

Affordable Housing Services seeks and allocates federal and state funding to create housing and community development strategies for low- and moderate-income residents. It pulled together the multimillion-dollar package from multiple sources, including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP), and the Local Housing Fund (HOPE Act) administered by Affordable Housing Services.

County commissioners in September established the HOPE trust fund, pledging to set aside $10 million annually to provide affordable housing. Eighty percent of the fund must be spent on housing for low- and very-low income families and individuals. The $10 million in trust fund money supplements other County funds dedicated to providing affordable housing.

The seven recipients of the awards, and their proposed projects, are:

University Area Community Development Corporation, Uptown Sky, $5.82 million

New Vision Communities and Wendover Housing Partners, Fulham Terrace Apartments, $5 million

East Tampa Business and Civic Association, Park Sands Townhomes, $3,577,350

Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County, Mason St. Manor, $515,827

A panel of Hillsborough County leaders evaluated the applicants and their proposals. Among the factors considered: Each applicant’s financial stability, its development plan, and inclusion of environmentally-friendly features such as energy-saving appliances, sealed windows, and low-flow toilets.

Two hundred of the residential units will be new construction. The remaining 60 will be renovated existing buildings.

Ideally, all the projects will be completed and ready to occupy within two years. Acquisition of residences deemed suitable for renovation could begin this summer.
