AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a request to the Monroe County Housing Authority to,
through a Monroe County Scattered Sites RFA 2019-101 Waiver Request, remove the proposed
development of 5 units of affordable -workforce housing at the BOCC-owned land on Atlantic
Boulevard in Key Largo from the Monroe County Scattered Sites grant application for Community
Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery funding (CDBG-DR) from the Florida Housing
Finance Corporation, thereby reducing the total amount of CDBG-DR site funding previously
awarded to the County from up to $1,957,160, to a new decreased amount.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017,
causing the destruction of or major damage to over 4,000 homes. Many of these structures housed
the County's 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
state Department of Economic Opportunity ("DEO") developed a Community Development Block
Grant - Disaster Recovery ("CDBG-DR") Action Plan and set aside $95 million for various Florida
Keys programs. Of that $95 million, $10 million has been set aside for land acquisition, and $25
million has been set aside for the construction and development 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 award of the $35 million in Monroe County set -aside funds occurred through the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation's (" FHFC") competitive bid process, in the form of a FHFC-issued
Request for Applications ("RFA"). A final FHFC RFA was issued on July 2, 2019, and had a due
date of August 6, 2019. The RFA sought submittals of funding requests for land acquisition and
construction of affordable workforce housing development projects. Due to the complexity and the
competitive nature of this grant application process, the BOCC approved and we have retained the
assistance of a highly specialized consultant, Hana Eskra, who prepared and submitted the County's
Packet Pg. 924
D.4
two grant applications. These grant applications as submitted have now been recommended for
approval by the FHFC board.
The County has been working with the Monroe County Land Authority and with the Monroe County
Housing Authority ("Housing Authority") on several sites for potential acquisition and development
of Monroe County affordable -workforce housing. All of the required land at Howard's Haven (Big
Pine Key) and Conch Key are under a purchase contract. At its meeting on September 18, 2019, the
Monroe County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") requested for staff to explore removal
of the BOCC-owned parcel on Atlantic Boulevard in Key Largo from its original application that, as
indicated above, the FHFC board has recommended approval of.
As this application was submitted by the Housing Authority, the Housing Authority is the entity that
needs to request removal of the County's Atlantic Boulevard, Key Largo, property from the
application, as well as make a request for a corresponding decrease in previously awarded CDBG-
DR grant funding. This is done in the form of a RFA 2019-101 Waiver. The Housing Authority's
board meets on 10/16/19.
The County's legal staff has prepared a First Amended Ground Lease between the BOCC and the
Housing Authority for land control of each Lower Keys (Howard's Haven and Conch Key) site, for
the construction and property management of rental units at these sites, and which removes the
BOCC's Atlantic Boulevard, Key Largo land from the Ground Lease. On this same agenda, the
BOCC has an item on to approve this First Amended Ground Lease.
If the competitive application is revised to remove the County's property on Atlantic Boulevard in
Key Largo, it would entail a CDBG-DR funding request for the acquisition and redevelopment of
two Lower Keys sites:
• Howard's Haven trailer park site — 10 (1-bedroom units);
• Conch Key trailer park site(s) — 8 (1-bedroom units) and 2 (2-bedroom units);
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
July 17, 2019 - BOCC approved application submission.
September 18, 2019 - BOCC requested staff remove the County's property on Atlantic Boulevard in
Key Largo from the grant application

RE: Monroe County Scattered Sites
RFA 2019-101 Waiver Request
Dear Ms. Button:
Monroe County Housing Authority (MCHA) respectfully requests an RFA Waiver for the Monroe County
Scattered Sites application (2020-004D). This application was submitted under RFA 2019-101 as a 25-
unit, scattered site, development. The project comprised three scattered sites —two sites on Big Pine
Key and Conch Key consisting of a total of 20 units and one site in Key Largo with 5 units. Due to
information received after the submission of the application, MCHA requests an RFA Waiver to remove
the Key Largo site and reduce the total unit count in the application to 20 units.
All properties in the application are owned or will be purchased by Monroe County and the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) approved a long-term land lease with MCHA to develop them as
affordable housing. However, after the submission of the application, the neighborhood association
adjacent to the Key Largo site notified the County of a 2003 agenda item that designated this parcel as
park land (see attached). This agenda item was approved by a previous BOCC, but the information was
not made part of a Resolution and no restrictions were placed on the title for the property. As such, the
current BOCC had no information about the commitment until the neighborhood association brought it
forward. Because a previous BOCC approved the agenda item designating the parcel as park land, the
current BOCC believes it should honor this obligation. They voted at their meeting on September 18,
2019 to remove this site from the land lease with MCHA and, thereby, reducing to total number of units
to be developed to 20 units.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. If you have further questions, please contact me at.....
Sincerely,
J. Manuel Castillo
Executive Director

(b) Loan Terms
The loan shall be non -amortizing and shall have an interest rate of zero
percent per annum. The loan will not require payment for as long as
the proposed Development remains in Compliance. The loan will be
forgiven after 20 years. The terms and conditions of the loan are
further outlined in Exhibit E of this RFA.
(c) Additional adjustments, if applicable
During the scoring process, if the Applicant states a request amount
that is greater than the amount the Applicant is eligible to request, the
Corporation will reduce the amount down to the maximum amount the
Applicant is eligible to request. The Applicant's request amount will be
reviewed for compliance with the per unit limit and per Development
limit, as well as its contribution to the percentage of Total Development
Cost limitation below.
If a reduction in the request amount is needed and a funding shortfall is
created in either the Construction and/or the Permanent Analysis of the
Applicant's Development Cost Pro Forma, the amount of the
adjustment(s), to the extent needed and possible, will be offset by
increasing the deferred Developer fee up to the maximum eligible
amount as provided below.
(3) Other Corporation Funding
(a) If the Development has received funding from the Predevelopment 0
Loan Program (PLP), the Corporation file number and amount of funding
must be listed. Note: PLP funding cannot be used as a source of 0
financing on the Construction Analysis or the Permanent Analysis.
(b) List any other Corporation funding that is intended to be utilized as a
source of financing for the proposed Development.

Non -Corporation Funding Proposals
Unless stated otherwise within this RFA, in order for funding, other than Corporation
funding and deferred Developer fee, to be counted as a source on the Development
Cost Pro Forma, provide documentation of all financing proposals from both the
construction and the permanent lender(s), and other sources of funding. The financing
proposals must state whether they are for construction financing, permanent financing,
or both, and all attachments and/or exhibits referenced in the proposal must be
included. Insert documentation for each source as Attachment 12 to Exhibit A.
For purposes of the Application, the following will not be considered a source of
financing: net operating income, capital contributions, fee waivers or any portion of any
fees that are reimbursed by the local government. Also, fee waivers and any portion of
any fees that are reimbursed by the local government cannot be considered as
Development costs.
Financing proposal documentation, regardless of whether the documentation is in the
form of a commitment, proposal, term sheet, or letter of intent, must meet the
following criteria. Evidence for each funding source must be behind its own numbered
attachment.
(1) Each financing proposal shall contain:
• Amount of the construction loan, if applicable;
• Amount of the permanent loan, if applicable;
• Specific reference to the Applicant as the borrower or direct recipient; and
• Signature of the lender.
Note: For ALL Applicants, eligible Local Government (including Land Authority)
financial commitments can be considered without meeting the requirements
above if the Applicant provides the properly completed and executed Local
Government Verification of Contribution — Grant Form and/or the Local
Government Verification of Contribution — Loan Form.
(2) Financing that has closed
If the financing has closed in the Applicant's name, provide a letter from the
lender acknowledging that the loan has closed. The letter must also include the
following information:
• Amount of the construction loan, if applicable;
• Amount of the permanent loan, if applicable; and
• Specific reference to the Applicant as the borrower/direct recipient/
mortgagee.
(3) If the financing proposal is not from a Regulated Mortgage Lender in the
business of making loans or a governmental entity, evidence of ability to fund c,
Page 34 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 968
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
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.
The age of all financial statements is as of the Application Deadline. In
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.
(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
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
will be considered a commitment for scoring purposes if the commitment is
properly executed and, if applicable, evidence of ability to fund is provided.
Development Cost Pro Forma a
All Applicants must complete the Development Cost Pro Forma listing the
anticipated expenses or uses, the Detail/Explanation Sheet, if applicable, and the
Page 35 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 969
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
Construction Analysis and Permanent Analysis listing the anticipated sources (both
Corporation and non -Corporation funding). The sources must equal or exceed the
uses. During the scoring process, if a funding source is not considered and/or if the
Applicant's funding Request Amount is adjusted downward, this may result in a
funding shortfall. If the Applicant has a funding shortfall, it will be ineligible for
funding.
The Development Cost Pro Forma must include all anticipated costs of the Development
construction and, if applicable, acquisition, including the Developer fee and General
Contractor fee, as outlined below. Waived or reimbursed fees or charges are not
considered costs to the Development and therefore, should not be included on the
Development Cost Pro Forma. Note: deferred Developer fees are not considered
"waived fees."
Developer fee and General Contractor fee must be disclosed. In the event the
Developer fee and/or General Contractor fee are/is not disclosed on the Development
Cost Pro Forma, the Corporation will assume that these fees will be the maximum
allowable and will add the maximum amount(s) to Total Development Cost. If an
Applicant lists a Developer fee, General Contractor fee, or contingency reserve that
exceeds the stated Application limits, the Corporation will adjust the fee to the
maximum allowable. As stated below, Applicants may not enter any amounts pertaining
to operating deficit reserves. The Corporation will not consider any operating deficit
reserves listed on the Development Cost Pro Forma.
Unless stated otherwise in this RFA, except for deferred Developer fee, the
Application requires complete information on all sources of Development funding
and the proposed uses of those funds. All loans, grants, donations, syndication
proceeds, etc., should be detailed in the Application as outlined above. The total of
monetary funds determined to be in funding proposals must equal or exceed uses.
(1) Developer Fee
Developer Fee, is limited to 16 percent of the Development Cost stated on
the Development Cost Pro Forma in Column 3 of Item C, rounded down to
the nearest dollar. If the maximums are exceeded, the Corporation will
adjust the amount down to the maximum allowed.
If the amount of Developer fee on Non -Acquisition Costs is more than
the amount allowed the Corporation will reduce the amount of
Developer fee on Non -Acquisition Costs to the maximum allowed
amount, up to the maximum allowed amount.
The Corporation will allow up to 100 percent of the eligible Developer fee
to be deferred and used as a source on the Development Cost Pro Forma
without the requirement to show evidence of ability to fund.

Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
Consulting fees, if any, and any financial or other guarantees required for
the financing must be paid out of the Developer fee. Consulting fees
include, but are not limited to, payments for Application consultants,
construction management or supervision consultants, or local government
consultants.
(2) General Contractor Fee
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
costs), as applicable.
(4) Operating Deficit Reserves
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
Cost Pro Forma as part of the Application process. A reserve, including an
operating deficit reserve, if necessary as determined by an equity provider,
first mortgage lender, and/or the Credit Underwriter engaged by the
Corporation in its reasonable discretion, will be required and sized in credit
underwriting. The inclusion of any reserve is not permitted in the
Application (other than the permitted contingency reserve) which may
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
Page 37 of 115

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
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
permitted by the Corporation. In no event, shall the payment of amounts to
the Applicant or the Developer from any operating deficit reserve
established for the Development cause the Developer fee or General
Contractor fee to exceed the applicable percentage limitations provided for
in this RFA.
(5) With respect to the loan amount(s), all fees set forth in Exhibit C to the RFA except
for Loan Servicing Fees, are part of Development Cost and can be included in the
Development Cost Pro Forma and paid with loan proceeds.
Principal of the Applicant is a Public Housing Authority and/or an instrumentality of a
Public Housing Authority
The Applicant should state whether any Principals of the Applicant entity are a Public
Housing Authority and/or an instrumentality of a Public Housing Authority. To qualify as
an instrumentality, the Public Housing Authority and/or instrumentality of a Public
Housing Authority must be reflected on the CDBG-DR Principals of the Applicant and
Developer(s) Disclosure Form (Form Rev. 06-19). The Public Housing Authority and/or
instrumentality of a Public Housing Authority must not be disclosed as only the Investor
Limited Partner of the Applicant or Investor Member of the Applicant.
If the Principal of the Applicant is an instrumentality of a Public Housing Authority,
state the name of the Public Housing Authority.
11. Uniform Relocation Act:
The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970
(URA) is government -wide legislation which establishes minimum standards for
federally -funded programs or projects requiring the acquisition of real property or
displacement of persons from the homes, businesses, or farms as a direct result of:
Acquisition, Rehabilitation or Demolition. CDBG-DR is the same at CDBG except as
expressly waived and alternative requirements as issued for CDBG-DR funds that are
specific to each disaster. Applicants should be prepared to familiarize themselves with
URA & Section 104(d) statues and regulations at 49 CFR 24 (URA), 24 CFR 42 (104(d), 24

rescinded and considered Returned Funding.
**** Total Development Cost Per Unit Limitation
By submitting its Application, the Applicant agrees and acknowledges that the
Application will be subject to the Total Development Cost Per Unit Limitation during the
scoring and credit underwriting.
The Corporation shall limit the Total Development Cost (TDC) per unit for all
Developments categorized by the construction type of the units as indicated below and
this limit is referred to as the TDC Per Unit Limitation. It is a limit based on TDC, but
exclusive of land costs and exclusive of any operating deficit reserves that are part of
the permanent phase (i.e., non -construction) financing for the Development which have
not been included within the Developer fee, applying any applicable TDC multiplier
and/or TDC add -on. The proposed Development's TDC will be tested against the TDC
Per Unit Limitation during the scoring of the RFA, utilizing the Development Type,
Development Category and ESS Construction determination made by the Applicant in
the RFA and it will apply to all units in the proposed Development. During the credit
underwriting process, and during the final allocation process, the maximum TDC per
unit will be recalculated for each unit type as described in Item 1 of Exhibit C, with
consideration given to whether the Development consists one or more Development
Types or a mix of wood and ESS Construction units.
Any Application that has an amount that exceeds these limitations during scoring will
not be eligible for funding. These TDC Per Unit Base Limitation amounts, inclusive of
any applicable TDC multiplier and/or TDC add -on, are effective during the scoring
process. Item 1 of Exhibit C provides the TDC Per Unit Base Limitation amounts that
account for an escalation factor to be incorporated for the credit underwriting process
and final allocation process, as explained in the exhibit.

deficit reserves (ODR) is mentioned in this TDC Per Unit Limitation section, the term shall refer to these particular operating
deficit reserves. Examples of reserves which can be considered part of the operating deficit reserve for this calculation are
provided in the Operating Deficit Reserve portion of the Funding section in the RFA. For purposes of property acquisition
valuation (land with or without building improvements), the Corporation uses the lesser of the appraised value, or the actual cost
of acquisition. The appraised value will be determined during credit underwriting. When land costs are referenced in this TDC Per
Unit Limitation section, the reference shall be limited to the amount of the land cost approved by the Corporation to be provided
in the final cost certification under the land owned cost line item. For Applicants that have a public housing
authority/instrumentality of a public housing authority listed as a Principal on the Applicant's Principal Disclosure Form may also
exclude demolition costs and tenant relocation costs from TDC PU Limitation calculations. The total amount of costs that are to
be excluded from the TDC Per Unit Limitation process are the applicable land costs, operating deficit reserves and certain PHA
costs described herein are referred to in Exhibit C in the congregate as applicable qualifying costs.

B. Selection Process
1. Application Sorting Order
All eligible Priority I Applications will be ranked by sorting the Applications as follows, followed
by Priority 11 Applications, then by Priority III Applications:
a. First, by the points achieved;
Next, by the Resiliency Preference outlined in Section Four, A.4.d, with Applications that
qualify for the preference listed above Applications that do not qualify for the
preference;
Next, by the Affordable Housing Experience Preference outlined in Section Four,
A.3.b.(3), with Applications that qualify for the preference listed above Applications that
do not qualify for the preference;
Next, by the Federal Funding Experience Preference outlined in Section Four, A.3.b.(4),
with Applications that qualify for the preference listed above Applications that do not
qualify for the preference;
Page 44 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 978
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
Next, by the Application's Leveraging Calculation, (the Eligible CDBG-DR Development
Funding Request Amount divided by the total number of units);
By the Application's eligibility for the Florida Job Creation Funding Preference which is
outlined in Item 2 of Exhibit C of the RFA (with Applications that qualify for the
preference listed above Applications that do not qualify for the preference);
g. Finally, by lottery number, with Applications that have a lower lottery number listed
above Applications with a higher lottery number.
2. Funding Available
Estimated total CDBG-DR funding amount of $35,000,000, to be divided as follows:
• $25,000,000 in Development Funding (All Applications)
• $10,000,000 in Land Acquisition Program Funding (Priority I and II Applications only)
3. Land Owner Award Tally (Priority I and II Applications only)
As each Priority I or Priority II Application is selected for tentative funding, the Local
Government, Public Housing Authority, Land Authority, or Community Land Trust that owns the
land and that was identified at question 3.a. in Exhibit A of the RFA will be considered the Land
Owner for purposes of the Land Owner Award Tally and have one Application credited toward
the Land Owner Award Tally.
The Corporation will prioritize eligible unfunded Priority I Applications that can be fully funded
and have the lowest Land Owner Award Tally above other eligible unfunded Priority I
Applications with a higher Land Owner Award Tally that also can be fully funded, even if the
Priority I Applications with a higher Land Owner Award Tally are higher ranked. The Corporation
will then follow the same pattern for Priority II Applications.
This procedure will be applied when selecting Priority I Applications and Priority II Applications
only.
4. Funding Selection Order
After Applications are sorted, funding selection will proceed. The highest ranked Priority I
Applications will be selected first, subject to the Land Owner Award Tally. As each Priority I
Application is selected for funding, the CDBG-DR Request Amount will be deducted from both
the Development Funding Amount and, if applicable, Land Acquisition Program Funding.
If there is not enough Land Acquisition Program Funding to fully fund an eligible unfunded
Priority I Application's Land Acquisition Program Funding request amount, the Priority I
Application may still be fully funded if (i) the total request in funding is $8 million or less, and (ii)
0
enough funding remains in the Development Program Funding to fully fund the Application, or
there is enough funding in a combination of the remaining Land Acquisition Program Funding
and the Development Program Funding to fully fund the Application. The remaining balance of
Land Acquisition Program Funding, if any, will be awarded and the remaining balance of the
Page 45 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 979
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
request amount will be deducted from the total amount of Development Funding available in
this RFA.
If funding remains and no eligible unfunded Priority I Applications can be fully funded, the

Priority II Applications that can be fully funded. If Land Acquisition Program Funding remains and

Applications will be selected for funding and the remaining funding will be distributed as
approved by the Board.

Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
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
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
are all added together.
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*
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
Per Unit Limitation remains exceeded. An adjustment to the maximum
allowable Developer Fee limit shall be determined by reducing the maximum
allowable Developer Fee, as determined in 1.b.(1) above, dollar -for -dollar, for
4-
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) $500,000, or (c) 25 percent of the initial
maximum allowable Developer Fee limit. If the stated Developer Fee, inclusive
CM
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 0
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
Page 62 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 1003
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
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
percentage amount that the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable
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
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.
It is at this point that the Applicant's adjusted TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying
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:
A 45-unit Development located in Monroe County with a Development Category of new
construction and a Development Type of Garden-ESSC (NC). The credit underwriter
initially reports the Applicant's TDC of $19,030,000, inclusive of the Applicant's stated
Developer Fee of $2,620,000, 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 and it qualifies for the TDC Multiplier of
65% for the North Florida Keys Area.

(3.0%): [ ($248,000.00 Per Unit + $5,000 TDC Add -On) x 45 Garden-ESSC (NC)
Units ) x (1 + 3.0%) ) / 65% TDC Multiplier = $18,040,846. (To determine the
final TDC PU Limitation, divide by total units: $18,040,846 / 45 Total Units =
$400,907.69 Per Unit.)
1.(b) Implied maximum Development Cost per the limitation: $18,040,846+ 1.16 =
$15,552,454.
1.(c) Determine maximum allowable Developer Fee limit within the TDC limitation
(prior to any applicable Developer Fee adjustment): $15,552,454 x 16% _
$2,488,392.
(Note: The calculations in both 1.(b) and 1.(c) incorporates the requirement to
round down the Developer Fee to the next lower whole dollar.)
First Developer Fee/TDC adjustment Calculation Methodology (If necessary)
2.(a)(i) Is the Applicant's initial Developer Fee ($2,620,000) greater than the maximum
allowable of $2,488,392? $2,620,000 > $2,488,392; Yes.
2.(a)(ii) If the response to 2.(a)(i) is "Yes", then determine the excess: $2,620,000 -
$2,488,392 = $131,608 (initial excess Developer Fee).
2.(b) Reduce the Applicant's initial Developer Fee to the lesser of either the maximum
allowable ($2,488,392) or the Applicant's initial fee ($2,620,000) and reduce the
Applicant's initial TDC by an equal amount: $2,620,000 - $131,608 = $2,488,392
(Applicant's initial adjusted fee); $19,030,000 - $131,608 = $18,898,392
(Applicant's initial adjusted TDC).
2.(c) If the response to 2.(a)(i) is "No" or once the adjustment of 2.(b) has been
completed, then determine if the Applicant's (adjusted) TDC remains in excess
of the limitation and if so, the amount of the excess: $18,898,392 (initial
adjusted TDC) > $18,040,846 (TDC limitation); $18,898,392 - $18,040,846 =
$857,546 (excess).
2.(d) Determine the components used to calculate an adjusted maximum allowable
Developer Fee. Any adjustment will be the lesser of either (i) 100% of the
excess TDC ($857,546), (ii) $500,000, or (iii) 25 percent of the maximum
allowable Developer Fee limit (25% x $2,488,392 = $622,098) : $500,000 <
$622,098 < $857,546.
2.(e) Apply the least amount of the three components in 2(d) above ($500,000) to
determine the maximum allowable Developer Fee limit, subject to this
adjustment: $2,488,392 - $500,000 = $1,988,392 (maximum fee limit at this o
stage).
2.(f) Determine if the Applicant's initial adjusted Developer Fee (as provided in 2.(b) E
above) is greater than the new maximum allowable Developer Fee limit (from
Page 64 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 1005
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
2.(e) above) and, if so, reduce the Applicant's initial adjusted fee appropriately:
$2,488,392 (Applicant's initial adjusted fee) > $1,988,392 (maximum fee limit at
this stage); Adjust the fee appropriately: Applicant's interim adjusted fee =
$1,988,392.
2.(g) Determine the Applicant's TDC reduction due to the Developer Fee adjustment
in 2.(f) above and apply the adjustment accordingly: $2,488,392 (Applicant's
initial adjusted fee) - $1,988,392 = $500,000 (Applicant's TDC reduction);
$18,898,392 - $500,000 = $18,398,392 (Applicant's interim adjusted TDC).
Second Developer Fee/TDC adjustment Calculation Methodology (If necessary)
3.(a) Determine the percentage the Applicant's (adjusted) TDC without the applicable
qualifying costs (as adjusted above in 2.(g)) that exceeds the amount allowed by
the TDC Per Unit Limitation: Amount of excess TDC: $18,398,392 (Applicant's
interim adjusted TDC) - $18,040,846 (TDC limitation) = $357,546 (excess TDC);
Excess TDC as a percentage of TDC Limitation: $357,546 - $18,040,846 = 1.98%.
(Note: This number is only rounded here for illustrative purposes. The actual
calculation will not be rounded.)
3.(b) Determine the final maximum Developer Fee limit: 1.98% x $1,988,392
(maximum fee limit from 2.(e) above) = $39,407; $1,988,392 - $39,407 =
$1,948,985 (final maximum allowable Developer Fee limit).
3.(c) Determine if the Applicant's interim adjusted Developer Fee (from 2.(f) above) is
greater than the final maximum allowable Developer Fee limit (from 3.(b)
above) and, if so, reduce the Applicant's interim adjusted Developer Fee
appropriately: $1,988,392 (Applicant's interim adjusted fee) > $1,948,985 (final
fee limitation); $1,988,392 - $39,407 = $1,948,985 (Applicant's final adjusted
Developer Fee).
3.(d) Determine the Applicant's final adjusted TDC at time of credit underwriting by
taking the Applicant's interim adjusted TDC (as provided in 2.(g) above) and
subtracting any adjustment to the Applicant's final adjusted Developer Fee
(from 3.(c) above): $18,398,392 - $39,407 = $18,358,985 (Applicant's final
adjusted TDC).
3.(e) Verify the status of the 5% variance test: ($18,358,985 - $18,040,846) /
$18,040,846 = 1.76%, which falls within the criteria of being less than or equal
to 5% above of the amount allowed by the TDC Per Unit Limitation.
Any Applicant that presents a Final Cost Certification Application Package (FCCAP) that
4-2
has applicable TDC amounts that exceed the TDC Per Unit Limitation will require staff
to review the FCCAP for compliance to the procedure provided in (1), (2) and (3) below
if the Applicant did not have its Developer Fee adjusted at credit underwriting as
provided in 1.b. above, either voluntarily or by the credit underwriter in order to get o
the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs to be in compliance with
the TDC Per Unit Limitation requirements.

(1) A TDC Per Unit Limitation is the maximum allowable and is determined by
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
are all added together.
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*
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)
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
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 maximum allowable 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 percentage amount that the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the
applicable qualifying costs (as adjusted above) exceeds the amount allowed by
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 exclusive 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 the new limit. Once this step is complete, there is
no further Developer Fee adjustment or corresponding cost savings to be
incorporated into the Applicant's TDC as a result of this process.
If the Applicant already had its Developer Fee adjusted at credit underwriting as
provided in 1.b. above, either voluntarily or by the credit underwriter in order to get
the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs to be in compliance with
the TDC Per Unit Limitation requirements, but the Applicant's TDC without the
applicable qualifying costs in the FCCAP is now less than the Applicant's TDC without
the applicable qualifying costs provided in the credit underwriting report, then the
Developer Fee will be re-evaluated based on the procedure provided in 1.b. above, just
as if it were going through the credit underwriting report process again.
If the Applicant already had its Developer Fee adjusted at credit underwriting as
provided in 1.b. above, either voluntarily or by the credit underwriter in order to get
the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs to be in compliance with
the TDC Per Unit Limitation requirements, and the Applicant's TDC the applicable
qualifying costs in the FCCAP exceeds the Applicant's TDC without the applicable
qualifying costs provided in the credit underwriting report, then the Developer Fee will
have an additional adjustment to be incorporated as provided in (4) below. For the
adjustment process below, the maximum initial Developer Fee (i.e., prior to any
adjustments provided in (4) below) cannot exceed the final Developer's fee as stated in
the credit underwriting report.
(4) For an Applicant that already had its Developer Fee adjusted at credit
underwriting as provided in 1.b. above and whose TDC without the applicable
qualifying costs in the FCCAP exceeds the Applicant's TDC without the
applicable qualifying costs provided in the credit underwriting report, the
maximum allowable Developer Fee limit will incorporate an additional
adjustment. This additional Developer Fee adjustment will be the lesser of (a)
the difference between the amount of the Applicant's TDC exclusive of the
applicable qualifying costs as reported in the FCCAP that is in excess of the CM
Applicant's TDC exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs provided in the
credit underwriting report, (b) $250,000, or (c) 10 percent of the allowable
Developer Fee reported in the credit underwriting report. If the Developer Fee
in the FCCAP is already equal to or less than the maximum allowable Developer
0
Fee limit as determined with the incorporation of this additional Developer Fee
adjustment, then neither the Developer Fee nor the Applicant's TDC is further
reduced.
For example:

Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
Assuming the Development in the example provided in 1.b. above provides an FCCAP
with the Applicant's TDC, exclusive of the applicable qualifying costs, which is $265,000
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 $1,948,985. The additional Developer Fee adjustment will be the
lesser of (a) $265,000 (the new excess costs), (b) $250,000 (the maximum dollar limit of
this additional Developer Fee adjustment), or (c) $194,899 (10% of the allowable
Developer Fee reported in the credit underwriting report).
Since option (c) is the least amount of the three options, the allowable Developer Fee
will be lowered by $194,899. 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 allowable Developer Fee and the Applicant's Developer
Fee will be $1,754,086. The Applicant's TDC, exclusive of applicable qualifying costs, in
the FCCAP would be adjusted to $18,429,086 ($18,358,985 from the credit underwriting
report plus $265,000 of new additional costs less $194,899 for the reduction in
allowable Developer Fee).
As a note, if the Developer Fee in the FCCAP is already at or below this 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 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.
* These figures represent the applicable Developer Fee percentage for the Development of 16% and one plus the
applicable Developer Fee percentage for the Development (1+16%).
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 Development Funding amount requested at question
10.a.(1)(a) of Exhibit A. 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
1.09. If an Applicant requested Land Acquisition Program Funding, it will not be used in this
calculation.
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 0
question 6.a. of Exhibit A);
The Florida job creation rate of 1.738 Florida Jobs per Single Family Unit;
The Florida job creation rate of 3.974 Florida Jobs per non -Single Family Unit; c,

The Eligible CDBG-DR Development Funding 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:
a. Developments consisting of only Single Family units:
Number of units x 1.738 Florida Jobs per Unit x 1,000,000 / Eligible CDBG-DR
Development Funding Request Amount = Florida Jobs per $1 million of CDBG-DR
funding.
For example:
Application A consists of 15 Single Family units and has an Eligible CDBG-DR
Development Funding Request Amount of $5,500,000.
15 x 1.738 x 1,000,000 / 5,500,000 = Florida Job Creation score of 4.74.
Developments consisting of only non -Single Family units:
Number of units x 3.974 Florida Jobs per Unit x 1,000,000 / Eligible CDBG-DR
Development Funding Request Amount = Florida Jobs per $1 million of CDBG-DR
funding.
For example:
Application B consists of 15 non -Single Family units and has an Eligible CDBG-DR
Development Funding Request Amount of $5,500,000.
15 x 3.974 x 1,000,000 / 5,500,000 = Florida Job Creation score of 10.84.
Developments consisting of both Single Family and non -Single Family units:
(Number of Single Family units x 1.738 Florida Jobs per unit + Number of non -Single
Family units x 3.974 Florida Jobs per unit) x 1,000,000 / the Eligible CDBG-DR
Development Funding Request Amount = Florida Jobs per $1 million of CDBG-DR
funding.
For example:
Application C consists of 10 Single Family units and 5 non -Single Family units and has an
Eligible CDBG-DR Development Funding Request Amount of $5,500,000.
(10 x 1.738 + 5 x 3.974) x 1,000,000 / 5,500,000 = Florida Job Creation score of 6.77.

units must do the following:
I. Link Set -Aside Requirements
With the exception of Developments financed with HUD Section 811, for the entire Compliance
Period as specified in both the regulatory agreement and as stated in the RFA, the Development
shall set aside the required percentage of the ELI Set -Aside units as Link Units for Persons with
Special Needs. At least one member of each Link unit's household shall be referred by a Special
Needs Household Referral Agency (Referral Agency) with which the owner executes a Link
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) approved by the Corporation.
II. Link Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

organizations serving each county, each of which is designated as a Referral Agency. The
Referral Agency list is available on the Corporation's Website at
http://apps.floridahousing.org/StandAlone/SpecialNeeds/ContentPage.aspx?PAGE=Link%201niti
ative%20Page (also accessible by clicking here). These agencies are statewide, regional or local
organizations that administer community -based supportive services to the populations served
by Link.

shall be held in a correction period status until the earlier of (i) approval by the
Corporation of an MOU executed with a new Referral Agency, or (ii) the passage of 45
Calendar Days following placement of a Referral Agency that serves the Development's
county onto the Corporation's Referral Agency list.

Development's county and obtain approval from the Corporation for the MOU executed
with the new Referral Agency no later than 45 Calendar Days after receipt of notification
from the prior Referral Agency of its intent to terminate the MOU.
When an owner intends to terminate an MOU, the owner shall repeat the process
outlined in all of the steps above to obtain approval from the Corporation for a new
MOU executed with another Referral Agency before termination of the prior MOU may
become effective.

4. Credit Underwriting Procedures for CDBG-DR Loan:
Credit underwriting is a de novo review of all information supplied, received or discovered
during or after the RFA scoring and funding preference process, prior to the closing on funding.
The success of an Applicant in being selected for funding is not an indication that the Applicant

underwriting review shall include a comprehensive analysis of the Applicant, the real estate, the
economics of the Development, the ability of the Applicant and the Development team to
proceed, the evidence of need for affordable housing in order to determine that the
Development meets the 2018 State of Florida Action Plan for Disaster Recovery Workforce
Housing program requirements and determine a recommended CDBG-DR forgivable loan
amount, if any. Corporation funding will be based on appraisals of comparable developments,
cost benefit analysis, and other documents evidencing justification of costs. As part of the credit
underwriting review, the Credit Underwriter will consider the applicable provisions of the RFA.

date of the invitation. For any invitation to enter credit underwriting that is offered to
an Applicant after Board approval of the list of eligible Applications that is sorted from
highest funding preference to lowest, where the Applicant's response is to decline to
enter credit underwriting, the result shall be the removal of the Application from the list
of eligible Applications for this RFA and any other funding where that list of eligible
Applications will be used.

information as it deems appropriate to determine whether or not to provide a positive
recommendation in connection with a proposed Development.
In determining whether or not to provide a positive recommendation in connection with
a proposed Development, the Credit Underwriter will consider the prior and recent
performance history of the Applicant, Developer, any Financial Beneficiary of the
Applicant or Developer, and the General Contractor in connection with any other
affordable housing development. The performance history shall consider instances
involving a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, financial arrearage, or other event of
material default in connection with any affordable housing development or the
documents governing financing or operation of any such development.
(1) Unless the Credit Underwriter determines that mitigating factors exist, or that
underwriting conditions can be imposed, sufficient to mitigate or offset the risk,
the existence of the following shall result in a negative recommendation of the
proposed Development by the Credit Underwriter:
(a) Considering all affordable housing developments in which any party
named above has been involved, if:
(i) During the period prior to August 1, 2010, 5 percent or more of
that party's developments have been the subject of a
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or in financial
arrearage or other material default and such arrearage or
material default remained uncured for a period of 60 days or
more, or
(ii) During the period beginning on or after August 1, 2010, any of
that party's developments have been the subject of a
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or in financial
arrearage or other material default and such arrearage or

material default is uncured at the present or, if cured, remained
uncured for a period of 60 days or more.
(b) Mitigating factors to be considered by the Credit Underwriter, to the
extent such information is reasonably available and verifiable, shall
include the extent to which the party funded the operations of the
development from that party's own funds in an attempt to keep the
development afloat, the election by a party to forego financial
participation in a development in an attempt to keep the development
afloat, the party's satisfactory performance history over the last 10
years in connection with that party's affordable housing developments,
and any other extenuating circumstances deemed relevant by the Credit
Underwriter in connection with the party's involvement in a
development.

(a) An Applicant, Developer, any Financial Beneficiary of the Applicant or
Developer, and the General Contractor in connection with any other
affordable housing development,
(b) Financial capacity of an Applicant, Developer, any Financial Beneficiary
of the Applicant or Developer and the General Contractor, or

Financial Beneficiary of the Applicant or Developer, and the General

members of the Development team do not possess the ability to
proceed.
g. The Credit Underwriter shall report any inconsistencies or discrepancies or changes
made to the Applicant's Application during credit underwriting.
h. The Applicant will be responsible for all fees in connection with the documentation
submitted to the Credit Underwriter.
i. If the Credit Underwriter determines that special expertise is required to review
information submitted to the Credit Underwriter which is beyond the scope of the
Credit Underwriter's expertise, the fee for such services shall be borne by the Applicant.
j. A full or self-contained appraisal as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice and a separate market study shall be ordered by the Credit
Underwriter, at the Applicant's expense, from an appraiser qualified for the geographic
area and development type not later than completion of credit underwriting. The Credit
Underwriter shall review the appraisal to properly evaluate the development property's 0
financial feasibility. With the exception of Land Acquisition Program Funding,
appraisals which have been ordered and submitted by a Regulated Mortgage Lender
and which meet the above requirements and are acceptable to the Credit Underwriter

completed by a disinterested party who is approved by the Credit Underwriter. The
Credit Underwriter shall consider the market study, the Development's financial impact
on Developments in the area previously funded by the Corporation, and other
documentation when making its recommendation of whether to approve or disapprove
a CDBG-DR loan. The Credit Underwriter shall also review the appraisal and other
market documentation to determine if the market exists to support both the
demographic and income restriction set -asides committed to within the Application.
k. The Corporation's assigned Credit Underwriter shall require a guaranteed maximum
price construction contract, which may include change orders for changes in cost or
changes in the scope of work, or both, if all parties agree, and shall order, at the

replacement reserves and operating expense reserves deemed appropriate by the
Credit Underwriter when calculating the final net operating income available to service
the debt. A minimum amount of $300 per unit per annum must be used for all
Developments.
The initial replacement reserve will have limitations on the ability to be drawn upon.
New Construction shall not be allowed to draw during the first five years or until the
establishment of a minimum balance equal to the accumulation of five years of
replacement reserves per unit.
M. The Credit Underwriter may request additional information during the underwriting
process, such as the following:
(1) For credit enhancers, audited financial statements for their most recent fiscal
year ended, if published; otherwise the previous year's audited statements will
be provided until the current statements are published or credit underwriting is
complete. The audited statements may be waived if the credit enhancer is
rated at least "A-" by Moody's, Standard and Poor's or Fitch.
(2) For the Applicant, general partner(s), and guarantors, audited financial
statements or financial statements compiled or reviewed by a licensed Certified
Public Accountant for the most recent fiscal year ended, credit check, banking

The CDBG-DR loan may be in a first, second, or other subordinated lien position. For
purposes of this RFA, mortgages securing a letter of credit as credit enhancement for
the bonds financing the first mortgage shall be considered a contingent liability and part
of the first mortgage lien, provided that the Applicant's counsel furnishes an opinion
regarding the contingent nature of such mortgage satisfactory to the Corporation and
its counsel.
The CDBG-DR loan shall be non -amortizing and shall have an interest rate of zero
percent per annum. The loan will not require payment for as long as the proposed
Development remains in Compliance. The loan will be forgiven after 20 years.
The amount of any superior mortgages combined with the CDBG-DR mortgage shall be
less than the appraised value of the Development. Any debt service reserve
requirement associated with a superior mortgage shall be excluded from the amount of
the superior mortgage for purposes of this calculation.
By the date that is 151 Calendar Days after the Applicant's fiscal year end of each year of
the CDBG-DR loan term, the Applicant shall provide the Corporation's servicer with
audited financial statements and the fully completed and executed annual reporting
form, Financial Reporting Form SR-1. However, this certification requirement will be
waived until 151 Calendar Days after the Applicant's fiscal year end following the fiscal
year within which the first unit is occupied. The SR-1 form, Rev. 05-14, which is
available on the Corporation's Website http://www.floridahousing.org/
PropertyOwnersAndManagers/Forms (also accessible by clicking here), shall be
submitted to the Corporation's servicer in both PDF format and in electronic form as a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The audited financial statements are to be prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America for the 12 month fiscal year period just ended and shall
include:
(1) Comparative Balance Sheet with prior year and current year balances;
(2) Statement of revenue and expenses;
(3) Statement of changes in fund balances or equity;
(4) Statement of cash flows; and
(5) Notes to financial statements.
The financial statements referenced above should also be accompanied by a
certification of the Applicant as to the accuracy of such financial statements. A late fee
of $500 will be assessed by the Corporation for failure to submit the required audited
financial statements and certification by 151 Calendar Days after the Applicant's fiscal 0
year end of each year of the CDBG-DR loan term. Failure to submit the required audited
financial statements and certification by 151 Calendar Days after the Applicant's fiscal
year end of each year of the CDBG-DR loan term shall constitute an event of default on
Page 98 of 115
RFA 2019-101

the CDBG-DR loan. The Applicant shall furnish to the Corporation or its servicer,
unaudited statements, certified by the Applicant's principal financial or accounting
officer, covering such financial matters as the Corporation or its servicer may reasonably
request, including without limitation, monthly statements with respect to the
Development.
After acceleration, the Note shall bear interest at the default interest rate from the due
date until paid.
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 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 persons or
households mandated through another Corporation program for which the
compliance monitoring fee was collected.
The CDBG-DR loans shall be serviced either directly by the Corporation or by the servicer
on behalf of the Corporation.
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
compliance if a violation of any material term or condition relative to the set -asides of
units is discovered during the course of compliance monitoring or by any other means.
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, 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/owners-and-managers/compliance/forms (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
loan may exceed 20 years if the lien of the Corporation's encumbrance is subordinate to
Page 99 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 1040
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
the lien of another mortgagee, in which case the term may be made coterminous with
the longest term of the superior loan.
After accepting a preliminary commitment, the Applicant or Land Owner shall not
refinance, increase the principal amount, or alter any terms or conditions of any
mortgage superior or inferior to the CDBG-DR mortgage without prior approval of the
Corporation's Board of Directors. However, an Applicant or Land Owner 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.
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.
Affordable rents for CDBG-DR are determined in a manner consistent with Section
42(g)(2) of the IRC using CDBG income limits published by HUD. The gross monthly rent
shall not exceed 30 percent of the imputed income imitation applicable to such unit as
committed to by the Applicant in its Application. The 2019 Florida Housing CDBG-DR

Income and Rent Limits can be accessed on the Corporation's website
https://www.floridahousing.org/owners-and-managers/compliance/rent-limits (also
accessible by clicking here).
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
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.
A failure to pay any principal or interest due under the terms of this section shall
constitute a default on the CDBG-DR loan.
Failure of the Applicant to provide the Corporation and its servicer with the Form SR-1
shall constitute a default on the CDBG-DR loan.
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 an Applicant's 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) through (3) below as the Corporation or its servicer may reasonably
request.
(1) The audited financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America for the 12 month fiscal year period just ended and shall
include:
(a) Comparative Balance Sheet with prior year and current year balances;
(b) Statement of revenue and expenses;
(c) Statement of changes in fund balances or equity;
(d) Statement of cash flows; and
0
(e) Notes to financial statements.

certification of the guarantor(s) as to the accuracy of such financial statements; or
(2) If an audited financial statement has not been prepared, a federal income tax
return filed for the most recently completed year; or
(3) For individual guarantors, if an audited financial statement is not available a

guarantor and a copy of the most recently filed individual federal income tax
return.
6. Sale, Transfer or Refinancing of a CDBG-DR Development:
a. Any sale, conveyance, assignment, or other transfer of interest or the grant of a security
interest in all or any part of the title to the Development or land other than a superior
mortgage shall be subject to the Corporation's prior written approval. The Board shall
consider the facts and circumstances of each Applicant's request and any credit
underwriting report, if available, prior to determining whether to grant such request.
The CDBG-DR loan shall be assumable upon sale or transfer of the Development or land
if the following conditions are met:
(1) The proposed transferee meets all specific Applicant or Land Owner identity
criteria which were required as conditions of the original loan;
(2) The proposed transferee agrees to maintain all set -asides and other

related professional fees, the Corporation shall charge a non-refundable assumption fee
as outlined in the most current competitive solicitation.
If the CDBG-DR loan is not assumed since the buyer does not meet the criteria for
assumption of the CDBG-DR loan, the CDBG-DR loan (principal and any outstanding
interest) shall be repaid from the proceeds of the sale in the following order of priority:
(1) First mortgage debt service, first mortgage fees;
(2) CDBG-DR compliance and loan servicing fees;
(3) An amount equal to the present value of the compliance monitoring fee for the
periods for which the Development will have a set -aside for persons or
households beyond the repayment date. The present value discount rate shall
Page 102 of 115
RFA 2019-101
Packet Pg. 1043
D.4.h
Complete RFA as modified on 7-19-19
be 2 percent per annum. Such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any
compliance monitoring fees collected by the Corporation for the Development
for that period, provided:
(a) The compliance monitoring fee covers some or all of the period
following the anticipated CDBG-DR repayment date; and
(b) The Development has substantially equivalent set -asides for persons or
households mandated through another program of the Corporation for
which the compliance monitoring fee was collected.
(4) Unforgiven principal balance of the CDBG-DR loan;
(5) Expenses of the sale;
(6) If there will be insufficient funds available from the proposed sale of the
Development or land to satisfy paragraphs c.(1) — (6) above, the CDBG-DR loan

the Credit Underwriter indicating that the purchase price for the
Development or land is reasonable and consistent with existing market
conditions;
(b) A certification from the Applicant or Land Owner that the purchase

Development Cash Flow reported to the Corporation during the term of
the CDBG-DR loan was true and accurate;
(c) A certification from the Applicant that there are no Development funds
available to repay the CDBG-DR loan, including any interest due, and the
Applicant knows of no source from which funds could or would be
forthcoming to pay the CDBG-DR loan; and
(d) A certification from the Applicant or Land Owner detailing the
information needed to determine the final billing for CDBG-DR loan
interest. Such certification shall require submission of financial
statements and other documents that may be required by the
Corporation and its servicer.
The Corporation may renegotiate and extend the loan in order to extend or retain the
availability of housing for the target population. Such renegotiations shall be based
0
upon:
(1) Performance of the Applicant during the CDBG-DR loan term;

The Corporation will recommend that the Board approve requests for mortgage loan
refinancing only if Development Cash Flow is improved, the Development's economic
viability is maintained, the security interest of the Corporation is not adversely affected,
and the Credit Underwriter provides a positive recommendation.
The Corporation will recommend that the Board deny requests for mortgage loan
refinancing which require extension of the CDBG-DR loan term or otherwise adversely
affect the security interest of the Corporation, unless the criteria outlined in Item e.
above, are met, the Credit Underwriter recommends that the approval of such a request
is crucial to the economic survival of the Development, or unless the Board determines
that public policy will be better served by the extension as a result of the Applicant
agreeing to further extend the Compliance Period or provide additional amenities or
resident programs suitable for the resident population. Further, the Board shall limit
any approved extension to a minimum term which makes the Development feasible and
which does not exceed an industry standard term.
The Corporation will recommend that the Board deny requests to increase the amount
of any superior mortgage, unless the criteria outlined in Item e. above 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.
7. CDBG-DR Construction Disbursements and Permanent Loan Servicing:
a. CDBG-DR loan proceeds shall be disbursed during the construction phase in an amount
per Draw which does not exceed the ratio of the CDBG-DR loan to the Total

by documentation specified by the Corporation's servicer including claims for labor and
materials to date of the last inspection.
The Corporation and its servicer shall review the request for a Draw, and the servicer
shall provide the Corporation with approval of the request or an alternative
recommendation, after the title insurer provides an endorsement to the policy of title
insurance updating the policy to the date of the current Draw and increasing the
insurance coverage to an amount equal to the sum of all prior Draws and the current
Draw.
The Corporation shall disburse construction Draws through Automated Clearing House
(ACH). The Applicant may request disbursement of construction Draws via a wire
transfer. The Applicant will be charged a fee of $10 for each wire transfer requested.
This charge will be netted against the Draw amount.
The Corporation shall elect to withhold any Draw or portion of any Draw,
notwithstanding any documentation submitted by the Applicant in connection with the
request for a Draw, if
(1) The Corporation or the Corporation's servicer determines at any time that the
actual cost budget or progress of construction differs from that as shown on the
loan documents; or
(2) The percentage of progress of construction of the improvements differs from
that shown on the request for a Draw.
The servicer may request submission of revised construction budgets.
