ITEM BACKGROUND:
Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 hurricane when it made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10,
2017, caused the destruction of or major damage to over 4,000 homes. Many of these structures
housed the local workforce prior to the storm, exacerbating the Florida Keys' affordable workforce
housing crisis.
Congress appropriated $616 million for the State of Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. The
Department of Economic Opportunity ("DEO") developed a Community Development Block Grant
- Disaster Recovery ("CDBG-DR") Action Plan and set aside $95 million for the Florida Keys for
various programs. Of the $95 million, $10 million has been set aside for land acquisition and $25
million has been set aside for new construction of workforce rental housing for low to moderate-
income households earning up to 80% of Area Medium Income (AMI), with a requirement that a
small percentage of the units be set aside for Extremely Low Income (ELI).
The following is a description of the program from the CDBG-DR Action Plan written by DEO,
approved by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Agency (HUD) to be administered by the
Florida Housing Financing Corporation (FHFC).

NaConal Objectlmve�:I and moderate-income benefit
The $35 million Monroe County set-aside funds will be awarded to applicants through the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation's ("FHFC") competitive bid process. A draft Request for
Applications ("RFA") (attached) was issued on June 12, 2019, and is expected to be finalized for
release date of July 2, 2019, with a due date of August 6, 2019 to the FHFC. The RFA is seeking
submittals of funding request for land acquisition and construction of affordable workforce
housing development projects. Due to the complexity and competitive nature of the grant
application process, the BOCC approved and we have retained the assistance of a highly
specialized consultant, Hana Eskra, to prepare and submit the grant applications.
The County has been working with the Monroe County Land Authority and with the Monroe
County Housing Authority on several sites for potential acquisition and development for
workforce housing. The Howard's Haven, Conch Key, and the Key Largo sites are or will be
owned by the Monroe County BOCC and will be leased by the Monroe County Housing
Authority. The Monroe County Housing Authority will be the qualified developer of these sites
and use the land for affordable housing development and property management of 25 units using
the CDBG-DR funding, if awarded.
Relocation assistance may be needed for tenants of existing residents on site.
This lease has been drafted to meet the requirements of the draft RFA and staff has included
flexibility in the lease's language so that staff may administratively amend the lease to adjust the
legal descriptions of each parcel identified in the lease and may finalize any of the lease's
wording to ensure compliance with the requirements of the RFA (which is currently anticipated
to be due on 8/6/19, which will be before the next BOCC meeting). This is why we are seeking
the ability of the County Administrator to adjust the lease prior to the next BOCC meeting, to
meet any unanticipated requirements of the RFA.

must be provided. Evidence of ability to fund includes: (i) a copy of the lender's
most current audited financial statements no more than 17 months old; or(ii) if
the loan has already been funded, a copy of the note and recorded mortgage.

evaluating ability to fund, the Corporation will consider the entity's unrestricted
current assets typically used in the normal course of business. Assets
considered restricted include, but are not limited to, pension funds, rental
security deposits, and sinking funds. Financing proposals from lenders who
cannot demonstrate ability to fund will not count as a source of financing.
Financial statements must be included in the Application. Note: This provision
does not apply to deferred Developer fee.
In the case where the seller of the Development's property is providing a seller's
note (purchase money mortgage)to help finance the Applicant's acquisition of
the property, evidence of its ability to fund the amount of the seller's note is not
needed so long as the Application includes a letter from the seller that meets
the financing proposal criteria outlined in (4)(a) above and the amount of the
seller's note is equal to or less than the purchase price of the property.
(4) If a financing proposal shows an amount less than the corresponding line item
on the Development Cost Pro Forma, only the financing proposal amount will be
considered as a funding source. However, if a financing proposal shows an
amount greater than the corresponding line item on the Development Cost Pro
Forma, up to the total amount of the financing proposal amount may be utilized
as a funding source, if needed. E

(5) The loan amount may be conditioned upon an appraisal or debt service
coverage ratio or any other typical due diligence required during credit
underwriting.
(6) Financing proposals may be conditioned upon the Applicant receiving the
funding from the Corporation for which it is applying.
(7) If a financing proposal has a provision for holding back funds until certain
conditions are met,the amount of the hold-back will not be counted as a source
of construction financing unless it can be determined that the conditions for the
release of the hold-back can be met prior to or simultaneous with the closing of
a
the Development's permanent financing.
(8) Grant funds are contributions to the Development, other than equity,which
carry no repayment provision or interest rate. A commitment for grant funds

D.4.a
6-12-19 Draft
General Contractor fee shall be limited to 14 percent of actual construction cost.
The maximum allowable General Contractor fee will be tested during the
scoring of the Application by multiplying the actual construction cost by 14
percent, rounded down to the nearest dollar.
(3) Contingency Reserves
For Application purposes, the maximum hard and soft cost contingencies
allowed cannot exceed 5 percent of hard and soft costs. The determination of
the contingency reserve is limited to the maximum stated percentage of total
actual construction costs (hard costs) and general development costs (soft

U)
An operating deficit reserve is not to be included as part of Development
Costs and cannot be used in determining the maximum Developer fee.
Applicants may not enter any amounts pertaining to any type of reserve
other than the contingency reserve mentioned above on the Development 0
Cost Pro Forma as part of the Application process. A reserve, including an 0
operating deficit reserve, if necessary as determined by an equity provider,

include, but is not limited to, operating deficit reserve, debt service
shortfalls, lease-up, rent-re-stabilization, working capital, lender or
syndicator required reserve(s), and any pre-funded capital (replacement)
reserves. If any reserve other than the permitted contingency reserve can
be identified and is included in the Development Cost Pro Forma,the
Corporation will remove it during Application scoring.
In exchange for receiving funding from the Corporation, the Corporation
reserves the authority to restrict the disposition of any funds remaining in
any operating deficit reserve(s) after the term of the reserve's original
purpose has terminated or is near termination. Authorized disposition uses
are limited to payments towards any outstanding loan balances of the
Development funded from the Corporation, any outstanding Corporation
fees, any unpaid costs incurred in the completion of the Development (i.e.,
deferred Developer fee),the Development's capital replacement reserve
account (provided, however, that any operating deficit reserve funds
deposited to the replacement reserve account will not replace, negate, or CM
otherwise be considered an advance payment or pre-funding of the
Applicant's obligation to periodically fund the replacement reserve
account), the reimbursement of any loan(s) provided by a partner, member
or guarantor as set forth in the Applicant's organizational agreement(i.e.,
operating or limited partnership agreement).The actual direction of the
disposition is at the Applicant's discretion so long as it is an option

applicable TDC reduction and adjustments processes provided below will receive a
negative recommendation by the Credit Underwriter.
Any Applicant that has the Credit Underwriter present a credit underwriting report with
an amount that exceeds these limitations will require staff to review the credit
underwriting report for compliance to the TDC reduction and adjustment procedure
provided below:
(1) A TDC Per Unit Limitation is the maximum allowable and is determined by to
adding the applicable TDC Per Unit Base Limitation from the table above with
respect to the Development as provided in this RFA to any applicable TDC add-
on and multiplying that sum by the appropriate escalation rate, and then
dividing by any applicable TDC multiplier and finally taking the resulting amount
and multiplying it by the number of total units in the Development. If there are
multiple unit types, this process is done for each unique unit type and then they
U)
are all added together. :3
0
The Developer Fee will be limited to the maximum allowable within the TDC Per
Unit Limitation, in all instances. A Developer Fee can be earned on
0
Development Cost as defined in Exhibit B, up to the maximum allowed within
the TDC Per Unit Limitation, but it cannot be earned on costs in excess of said
limitation. If the Development costs exceed the amount allowed by the TDC Per
Unit Limitation, then the maximum allowable Developer Fee will be adjusted as
outlined below. The maximum allowable Developer Fee limit can be
determined by taking the TDC Per Unit Limitation amount and dividing by 1.16*
and then multiply the result by 16 percent*. This will yield the maximum
allowable Developer Fee within the TDC Per Unit Limitation.
Prior to determining any necessary adjustment, if the Developer Fee initially stated by
the Applicant or Credit Underwriter is in excess of the maximum allowable Developer
Fee as provided in 1.b.(1) above, the stated Developer Fee will be reduced to said
maximum allowable Developer Fee, and the TDC will be equally reduced to incorporate
the cost reduction.
(2) Subsequent to reducing the stated Developer Fee to the maximum allowable
amount provided above, additional adjustments may be necessary if the TDC

any costs in excess of the amount allowed by the TDC Per Unit Limitation, up to
the lesser of(a) the actual amount of costs in excess of the amount allowed by

of any necessary adjustments incorporated above, exceeds the maximum
allowable Developer Fee limit as adjusted herein,the stated Developer Fee,
inclusive of any necessary adjustments incorporated above shall be further
adjusted to not exceed the new maximum allowable Developer Fee limit, and
the Applicant's TDC will be equally reduced to incorporate the cost reduction. If
after following this Developer Fee limitation process, the Applicant's TDC

exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs is reduced to be within the amount
allowed by the TDC Per Unit Limitation, then the Developer Fee adjustment
calculation is complete. If the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable
qualifying costs remains above the amount allowed by the TDC Per Unit
Limitation,then there is an additional Developer Fee adjustment process, as
outlined in (3) below.
(3) An additional Developer Fee limitation adjustment will be initiated to further
reduce the allowable maximum Developer Fee limit in the event the Applicant's
TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs (as adjusted above) exceeds the
TDC Per Unit Limitation. The reduction will be determined by deriving a
a
percentage amount that the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable o
qualifying costs (as adjusted above) exceeds the TDC Per Unit Limitation and
multiplying this excess percentage by the amount of the adjusted Developer
Fee, resulting in a product that is the additional adjustment to the Developer
Fee. For instance, if the Applicant's adjusted TDC excusive of the applicable
qualifying costs exceeds the limitation by 4 percent,then the maximum
allowable Developer Fee limit is further reduced by 4 percent. If the stated
Developer Fee is greater than this limit, it must be reduced to be equal to the o
to
new limit. Once this step is complete, there is no further Developer Fee
adjustment or corresponding cost savings mandated to be incorporated into the
Applicant's TDC for this process. o
It is at this point that the Applicant's adjusted TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying 00
costs are compared to the TDC Per Unit Limitation, and if the TDC Per Unit Limitation is
exceeded by more than 5 percent (as presented in the opening paragraph of 1.b above),
the credit underwriting report shall be presented with a negative recommendation by
the Credit Underwriter.
As a note, if the Developer Fee in the credit underwriting report is already at or below
the maximum allowable Developer Fee limit,then there is no additional adjustment
mandated to be incorporated into the Developer Fee. This also means there are no
corresponding cost savings to reduce the Applicant's TDC since all TDC cost reductions
stemming from this process are coming from reducing the Developer Fee. If the
Developer Fee in the credit underwriting report needs to be reduced to incorporate any
adjustment as provided above, then as the Developer Fee is reduced, so is the
Applicant's TDC in order to incorporate the reduced Developer Fee cost.
For example: o
A 45-unit Development located in Bay County with a Development Category of new
construction and a Development Type of Garden-Wood (NC) with 45 units. The credit
underwriter initially reports the Applicant's TDC of$10,320,000, inclusive of the
Applicant's stated Developer Fee of$1,423,000, but exclusive of applicable qualifying
costs at time of credit underwriting, and also prior to any adjustment. The Applicant
does qualify for a TDC Add-On of$5,000 for the Federal Boost.

The Developer Fee will be limited to the maximum allowable within the TDC Per
Unit Limitation, in all instances. A Developer Fee can be earned on
Development Cost as defined in Exhibit B, up to the maximum allowed within
the TDC Per Unit Limitation, but it cannot be earned on costs in excess of said
limitation. If the Development costs exceed the amount allowed by the TDC Per
Unit Limitation, then the maximum allowable Developer Fee will be adjusted as
outlined below. The maximum allowable Developer Fee limit can be
determined by taking the TDC Per Unit Limitation amount and dividing by 1.16* C3
and then multiply the result by 16 percent*. This will yield the maximum
allowable Developer Fee within the TDC Per Unit Limitation.
Prior to determining any necessary adjustment, if the Developer Fee initially stated by
the FCCAP is in excess of the maximum allowable Developer Fee as provided in 1.c.(1) 0
above, the Developer Fee will be reduced to said maximum allowable Developer Fee,
and the Applicant's TDC will be equally reduced to incorporate the cost reduction.
(2) Subsequent to reducing the Developer Fee to the maximum allowable amount,
additional adjustments may be necessary if the TDC Per Unit Limitation
remains exceeded. An adjustment to the maximum allowable Developer Fee
limit shall be determined by reducing the maximum allowable Developer Fee
limit as determined in 1.c.(1) above, dollar-for-dollar,for any costs in excess of
the amount allowed by the TDC Per Unit Limitation, up to the lesser of(a)the
actual amount of costs in excess of the amount allowed by the TDC Per Unit
Limitation, (b) $250,000, or(c) 10 percent of the initial maximum allowable
Developer Fee limit. If the stated Developer Fee, inclusive of any necessary
CM
adjustments incorporated above, exceeds the maximum allowable Developer
Fee limit as adjusted herein, the stated Developer Fee, inclusive of any
necessary adjustments incorporated above, shall be further adjusted to not
exceed the new maximum allowable Developer Fee limit, and the Applicant's
TDC will be equally reduced to incorporate the cost reduction. If, after
following this Developer Fee limitation process, the Applicant's TDC exclusiveCM
of the applicable qualifying costs is reduced to be within the amount allowed
by the TDC Per Unit Limitation, then the Developer Fee adjustment calculation
is complete. If the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs
remains above the amount allowed by the TDC Per Unit Limitation,then there
is an additional Developer Fee adjustment process, as outlined in (3) below.

(3) An additional Developer Fee limitation adjustment will be initiated to further
reduce the maximum allowable Developer Fee limit in the event the
Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs (as adjusted above)

adjustment, then neither the Developer Fee nor the Applicant's TDC is further
reduced.
For example:
Assuming the Development in the example provided in Lb. above provides an FCCAP
with the Applicant's TDC, exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs,which is$275,000
higher than the Applicant's TDC, exclusive of applicable qualifying costs, provided in the
credit underwriting report, but the Developer Fee is the same as provided in the credit
underwriting report of$998,378. The additional Developer Fee adjustment will be the
lesser of(a) $275,000 (the new excess costs), (b) $250,000 (the maximum dollar limit of
this additional Developer Fee adjustment), or(c) $99,838(10%of the allowable
Developer Fee reported in the credit underwriting report).Since option (c) is the least o
amount of the three options, the allowable Developer Fee will be lowered by$99,838.
Since the Applicant's Developer Fee initially reported in the FCCAP is equal to the
allowable Developer Fee reported in the credit underwriting report,the Applicant's
Developer Fee will be adjusted in the same manner as the allowable Developer Fee. The o
allowable Developer Fee and the Applicant's Developer Fee will be$898,540 (the
allowable Developer Fee reported in the credit underwriting report of$998,378, less the
adjustment of$99,838. The Applicant's TDC, exclusive of applicable qualifying costs, in
the FCCAP would be adjusted to $10,070,540 ($9,895,378 from the credit underwriting
0
report plus $275,000 of new additional costs less$99,838 for the reduction in allowable
Developer Fee).As a note, if the Developer Fee in the FCCAP is already at or below this o
allowable Developer Fee, then there is no additional adjustment to be incorporated into
the Developer Fee. This also means there are no corresponding costs savings to reduce 0
the Applicant's TDC since all TDC cost reductions stemming from this process are coming
from reducing the Developer Fee. If the Developer Fee in the FCCAP needs to be
reduced to incorporate any adjustments provided above,then as the Developer Fee is
reduced, so is the Applicant's TDC in order to incorporate the reduced Developer Fee
cost.

2. Florida Job Creation Funding Preference
Each Application will be measured to determine whether it qualifies for the Florida Job Creation
Funding Preference. To determine eligibility for the preference, the Corporation will calculate
the Application's Florida Job Creation score,which will reflect the number of Florida jobs per$1
million of implied eligible CDBG-DR funding. To qualify for the Florida Job Creation Funding
Preference in Section Five of the RFA, all Applications must earn a Florida Job Creation score
equal to or greater than 1.53.
CM
Determination of the Florida Job Creation score will be based on the following information:
• The number of total units committed to by the Applicant(as stated by the Applicant at E
question 6.a. of Exhibit A);
• The Florida job creation rate of 3.974 Florida Jobs per Unit;
• The Eligible CDBG-DR Request Amount.

The score for the Florida Rate of Job Creation per$1 million of CDBG-DR funding will be
measured using the following calculation:
Number of units x 3.974 Florida Jobs per Unit x 1,000,000/ Eligible CDBG-DR Request
Amount= Florida Jobs per$1 million of CDBG-DR funding.
For example:
C)
Application A consists of 15 units and has an Eligible CDBG-DR Request Amount of
$5,500,000.
0
15 x 3.974 x 1,000,000/5,500,000= Florida Job Creation score of 9.91.

g. The final billing for the purpose of payoff of the CDBG-DR loan shall also include a billing
for compliance fees to cover monitoring of CDBG-DR Program requirements beyond the
maturity date of the Note. Such fees shall be computed by determining the present
value of the annual compliance monitoring fee for the number of years for which the
Development will have a set-aside for Very Low-Income persons or households beyond
the repayment date. The present value discount rate shall be 2 percent per annum.
Such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any compliance monitoring fees for
other programs collected by the Corporation for the Development for that period,
provided:
(1) The compliance monitoring fee covers some or all of the period following the
anticipated CDBG-DR loan repayment date; and
(2) The Development has substantially equivalent set-asides for Very Low-Income
CM
persons or households mandated through another Corporation program for
which the compliance monitoring fee was collected.
h. The CDBG-DR loans shall be serviced either directly by the Corporation or by the servicer
on behalf of the Corporation.
CM
i. The Corporation shall monitor compliance of all terms and conditions of the CDBG-DR
loan and shall require that certain terms and conditions be embodied in the Land Use
Restriction Agreement and recorded in the public records of the county wherein the
Development is located. Violation of any material term or condition of the documents
evidencing or securing the CDBG-DR loan shall constitute a default during the term of
the CDBG-DR loan. The Corporation shall take appropriate legal action to effect
Page 98 of 116

compliance if a violation of any material term or condition relative to the set-asides of
units for Very Low-Income persons or households is discovered during the course of
compliance monitoring or by any other means.
j. The Corporation shall require adequate insurance to be maintained on the Development
as determined by the first mortgage lender, the Corporation, or the Corporation's
servicer, but which shall, in any case, include fire, hazard and other insurance sufficient
to meet the standards established in the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC)
Insurance Guide (and as amended from time to time). The most recently published FHFC
Insurance Guide is available on the Corporation's Website
http://www.floridahousing.org/PropertyOwnersAndManagers/insuranceGuide/ (also
accessible by clicking here).
k. The CDBG-DR loan term shall be for a period of not more than 20 years. The term of the
E
loan may exceed 20 years if the lien of the Corporation's encumbrance is subordinate to U,
the lien of another mortgagee, in which case the term may be made coterminous with
the longest term of the superior loan.
I. After accepting a preliminary commitment, the Applicant shall not refinance, increase 0
the principal amount, or alter any terms or conditions of any mortgage superior or 0
inferior to the CDBG-DR mortgage without prior approval of the Corporation's Board of
Directors. However, an Applicant may reduce the interest rate on any superior or
inferior mortgage loan without the Board's permission, provided that no other terms of
the loan are changed. The Corporation must be notified in writing of any such change. 0
U)
Following construction completion, the Board shall deny requests to increase the
amount of any superior mortgage, unless the criteria outlined below are met, the
original combined loan to value ratio for the superior mortgage and the CDBG-DR
mortgage is maintained or improved, and a proportionate amount of the increase in the
superior mortgage is used to reduce the outstanding CDBG-DR loan balance. To
calculate the proportionate amount of the increase in the superior mortgage which
must be paid toward the reduction of the CDBG-DR loan balance, the following
calculation shall be used: divide the amount of the original CDBG-DR mortgage by the
combined amount of the original CDBG-DR mortgage and the original superior
mortgage; then multiply the quotient by the amount of the increase in the superior
mortgage from the current balance. For example, if the amount of the original CDBG-DR
mortgage is$2,000,000,the original superior mortgage is$4,400,000, with a current
balance of$3,000,000, a proposed new superior mortgage of$5,000,000, then the
amount of the increase in the superior mortgage would be$2,000,000, and the
proportionate amount of the increase in the superior mortgage which must be paid
toward the reduction of the CDBG-DR loan balance would be$625,000.This$625,000
would be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.
M. All CDBG-DR loans shall be in conformance with applicable federal and state statutes,
including the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended)
including the Affirmative Fair Marketing Plan,Titles II and III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 as implemented by 28 CFR Part 35, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as implemented by 24 CFR Part 8 ("Section 504 and its

related regulations"), and The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013.
These provisions are available on the RFA Website.To the extent that a CDBG-DR
Development is not otherwise subject to Section 504 and its related regulations,the
CDBG-DR Development shall nevertheless comply with Section 504 and its related
regulations as requirements of the CDBG-DR Program to the same extent as if the CDBG-
DR Development were subject to Section 504 and its related regulations in all respects.
To that end, for purposes of the CDBG-DR Program, CDBG-DR funding shall be deemed
"Federal financial assistance"within the meaning of that term as used in Section 504
and its related regulations for all CDBG-DR Developments.
n. Rent controls are determined in a manner consistent with 2019 Florida Housing Rental
Programs (MTSP) Income and Rent Limits (Eff. 4-24-19)which can be accessed on the
Corporation's website https://www.floridahousing.org/owners-and-
managers/compliance/rent-limits (also accessible by clicking here).The gross monthly
rent shall not exceed 30 percent of the imputed income limitation applicable to such
unit as committed to by the Applicant in this RFA.
o. The documents creating, evidencing or securing each CDBG-DR loan must provide that
any violation of the terms and conditions described in this RFA constitutes a default
to
under the CDBG-DR loan documents allowing the Corporation to accelerate its loan and
to seek foreclosure as well as any other remedies legally available to it.

P. A failure to pay any principal or interest due under the terms of this section shall
constitute a default on the CDBG-DR loan.
U)
q. Failure to provide the Corporation and its servicer with the Form SR-1 shall constitute a
default on the CDBG-DR loan.
0
r. The Compliance Period for a CDBG-DR Development shall be, at a minimum, the HUD
affordability period requires units to be set aside for 20 years. Priority I or II
Applications must remain affordable into Perpetuity. The Corporation is adding 30 years
of an extended affordability period to the HUD affordability period for Priority III
Applications, for a total affordability period of 50 years for Priority III Application. The
set-aside requirements apply to the total number of residential units in the
Development beginning on the later of the first day on which any residential unit in the
Development is occupied or the CDBG-DR loan closing date. For a period of 12 months
beginning on the CDBG-DR loan closing date(the "transition period"),the failure to
satisfy the set-aside requirements shall not cause noncompliance.
S. Unless and until a guarantor's obligations for a CDBG-DR loan are terminated as
approved in writing by the Corporation or its servicer, each guarantor shall furnish to
the Corporation or its servicer financial statements as provided in paragraphs (1) CM
through (3) below as the Corporation or its servicer may reasonably request.

8. General Program Procedures and Restrictions.
a. When the income of a resident increases above 80 percent of area median income,the
next unit that becomes available in the Development must be rented to a income-
eligible resident. If the income of a VeryExtremely Low-Income household increases
°
above the limits for a VeryExtremely Low-Income household,then the Developer must
rent the next available unit to a VeryExtermely Low-Income household.The amount of
rent the resident whose income has increased must pay is the lesser of the amount
E
payable by resident under state or local law or 30 percent of the adjusted monthly U,
income for rent and utilities.
b. Units in a Development must have rents set at no more than the lesser of the Section 8
Fair Market Rent (FMRs) or rents that are 30 percent of the gross income of a Family at U
65 percent of median income limit, minus utility allowance. Low rent means 20 percent 0
of the Units in a Development must have rents set at no more than the lesser of the
Section 8 Fair Market Rent(FMRs), or 30 percent of the gross income of a Family at 50
percent of the area median income, minus utility allowance.The rent limits for a Rent-
Restricted Unit is the maximum gross rent that can be charged for a Rent-Restricted 0
Unit (FMRs, 30 percent of the gross income of a family at 65 percent of median income,
or 30 percent of the gross income of a family at 50 percent of the area median income),
less the applicable utility allowance.These rent limits are published in HUD periodically,
80 percent of median income limit, minus utility allowance.These rent limits are
published by HUD periodically.,Assisted Units with Section 8 subsidy must compare the
Section 8 gross rent (resident rent, subsidy amount, and utility allowance)to the
maximum applicable high or low rent limit minus utilities. However, Developments with
project-based rental assistance may utilize the project-based rents as compared to the
High and Low rents.rent limits. Compliance with the rent restrictions will take
precedence over the Developer's acceptance of a full Section 8(resident-based) subsidy
for the units. However, if a Rent-Restricted Unit receives federal or state project-based
rental subsidy and the Family's contribution toward rent does not exceed 30 percent of
the Family's adjusted income,then the maximum rent (i.e.,tenant contribution plus
project-based rental subsidy) is the rent allowable under the federal or state project-
based rental subsidy program.
C. The minimum Compliance Period for newly-constructed rental housing is 20 years from
Project Completion.The set-aside requirements apply beginning on the later of the first
day on which any residential unit in the Development is occupied or the loan closing

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if applicable, in the event an
authorized Association chooses not to obtain insurance coverage to protect against loss or
damage by fire, flood and windstorm for the individual Workforce Housing Units and
therefore does not charge the Sublessees for said coverage as part of the Association fees to
be paid by the individual Unit Owners (if this project is expressly authorized as a home-
ownership project); then, in such event Sublessees shall secure the above-described
insurance coverage for their individual Workforce Housing Units.Therefore,Lessor shall be
entitled to require replacement cost and other customary and reasonable insurance
coverage(s) at least but only to the full replacement value of any Sublessees' and/or any
governing Association's insurable interest in the Demised Premises. Any parties who
subsequently become holders of any title or possessory interest to a portion of the Demised
Premises, shall upon request provide, in a form satisfactory to Lessor,proof of customary
and reasonable insurance adequate and sufficient to cover and protect all interests of the
Lessor as set forth in this Article X, at least to the extent and value of that subsequent
interest holder's insurable interest. The same or similar procedures for the use and
application of insurance proceeds as set fbA above may be required for subsequent
interest holders and the same remedies available to Lessor for Initial Lessee's failure to
comply with such insurance requirements shall be available to Lessor with respect to any
future interest holders.Future interest holders(including all Sublessees)shall name Lessor
as an additional insured and as a loss payee on any required insurance policies.

("Lessor") continues to examine the affordable workforce housing crisis within
the county and seeks to determine best practice solutions to mitigate this
situation. The Monroe County Employee Rental Housing Program enacted under
this lease is one such solution.
A central concern of the Program is the enormous financial pressure on the
Lesssor's and on the Lessee's employees in connection with the affordability of a

grants employee preference to qualified full-time employees of the Lessor and to

maintain and abide by all requirements applicable to proper maintenance and
disclosure of such records under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.
0
It shall be the Lessee's policy that each applicant shall be assigned an appropriate 0-
place on a waiting list.Applicants shall be listed in a sequence based upon date 0
and time a complete, legally sufficient application is received, the size and type of
unit the applicant has requested, and factors of preference or priority. In filling 0
an actual or anticipated vacancy, the Lessee shall offer the dwelling unit to an
applicant in the appropriate sequence, with the goal of accomplishing complete
occupancy of all units by qualified full-time employees of Lessor and Lessee.
0
By maintaining an accurate waiting list, the Lessee will be able to perform the
activities which ensure that an adequate pool of qualified applicants will be >
0
available to fill unit vacancies in a timely manner. Based upon the Lessee's
turnover and the availability of appropriately-sized units, groups of families will
be selected from the waiting list to form a final eligibility pool. Selection from the
pool will be based upon completion of verification of all documents and
information provided. .2
2
The Lessee shall administer its waiting list as required by 24 C.F.R. Part 5, Part 0�
945 and 96o, Subparts A and B. The waiting list will be maintained in accordance '-

.;j

in an appropriate unit within a reasonable period of time. E

Packet Pg. 2007

waiting list. Every applicant must meet all of the Lessee's Selection Criteria as
defined in this policy pursuant to the requirements of this lease permitted by law.

in the form of an employment record(s) provided by the Monroe County Human
Resources Department or Lessee's equivalent human resources office, other

Before applying its preference system, the Lessee will first match the
characteristics of the available unit to the applicant(s) available on the waiting
list. By matching unit and family characteristics and qualifications for a.foregoing
preference, it is possible that families who are lower on the waiting list may
receive an offer of housing ahead of families with an earlier date and time of
application.
2
The Lessee will verify all preference claims at the time they are made. The Lessee
will re-verify a preference claim, if the lessee feels the applicant's or family's
circumstances have changed, at the time of selection from the waiting list.
cm
If the preference verification indicates that an applicant does not qualify for the
preference, the applicant will be returned to the waiting list and ranked without
that preference and given an opportunity for a review.
Changes in an applicant's circumstances while on the waiting list may affect the
applicant's or his/her family's entitlement to a preference.Applicants are
required to notify the Lessee in writing when their circumstances change. When
an applicant claims a preference, he or she will be placed on the waiting list in the
proper order of their newly claimed preference.
If the Lessee denies a preference, the applicant will be placed on the waiting list
without the benefit of the preference. The Lessee will notify an applicant in
writing of the reasons why the preference was denied and offer the applicant an
opportunity for an informal meeting. The applicant will have io business days to,
in writing, request that meeting. If the applicant does not request a meeting, and
Page 46 of 49
Packet Pg. 2009
D.4.c
if the preference denial is sustained/upheld as a result of such meeting, the
applicant will be placed on the waiting list without benefit of the preference. 0
If the applicant falsifies documents or makes false statements in order to qualify
for any preference,they will be removed from the waiting list with notification to
the applicant and/or the family on the application.
The waiting list will be purged at least annually by a mailing to all applicants to
ensure that the waiting list is current and accurate. The mailing will make a
request for current and/or updated information and confirmation of the
applicant's continued interest. If the applicant fails to respond to such mailing
within 14 calendar days, he/she will be removed from the waiting list. If the 14th
day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or official designated federal or state holiday,the c�
14th day shall be considered the nearest next business day. If a letter is returned
by the post office without a forwarding address,the applicant will be removed
from the list without further notice and the envelope and letter will be
maintained in the file. If a letter is returned with a forwarding address, it will be
re-mailed to the address indicated. U)
When an applicant rejects the final unit offer by the Lessee, the Lessee will:
0
Remove the applicant's name from the waiting list.
Remove from the waiting list means: The applicant must re-apply.
0
Applicants must accept a unit offer within 10 business days of the date the offer is
made. Offers made over the telephone will be confirmed by letter. If unable to
contact the applicant by telephone, the Lessee will send a certified letter.

Unit(s) with a Letter of Acknowledgment conforming to Exhibit T.'"to this lease,
and each applicant(s) must return said Letter to Lessee properly executed and 5`
