13. REPORT ITEMS

13.1

REPORT - MODIFICATION TO HOUSING AUTHORITY RESOLUTION

NUMBERS 1694,1704,1707,1731,1743, FOR BURBANK AVENUE

APARTMENTS TO CHANGE THE BORROWER ENTITY FROM

WATERSTONE RESIDENTIAL, LLC AND WSA BURBANK HOUSING

PARTNERS I, LP TO BHDC BURBANK AVE, LLC BY AND THROUGH

BURBANK HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ALLOW

PREDEVELOPMENT AS AN ELIGIBLE USE FOR THE LOCAL AND

STATE FUNDS

BACKGROUND: Burbank Avenue Apartments (Project) has been

awarded four commitments of loan funds totaling $13,184,325 and

sixteen (16) Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs). The loan funding and

PBV commitments have been awarded to the Project over time and

have been awarded to different borrower entities as the ownership

structure of the Project has evolved. The borrower entities include

Waterstone Residential, LLC, and WSA Burbank Housing Partners I,

LP, a partnership with Burbank Housing Development Corporation

(BHDC). Now fully funded, the Project has requested to transfer the

ownership entity for all commitments to BHDC Burbank Avenue LLC, by

and through its nonprofit partner, BHDC, and to allow

predevelopment-related costs as an eligible use of loan funds. Approval

of this transfer will allow the project to streamline the execution of loan

documents, and will alleviate a future tax obligation to the Project.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by

resolution, modify Housing Authority Resolutions 1694, 1704, 1707,

1731, 1743, and 1759 to change borrower entity for the prior

commitments for Burbank Avenue Apartments from Waterstone

Residential, LLC and WSA Burbank Housing Partners I, LP to BHDC

Burbank Ave, LLC, by and through Burbank Housing Development

Corporation and allow predevelopment-related costs as an eligible use

of funds.

development and administration to the Department of Housing and

Community Services (HCS). Delegation of authority by the Housing

Authority is needed for the Executive Director to execute loan and

program-related documents including, but not limited to Promissory

Notes, Owner Occupancy Agreements, Subordination Agreements, and

Program.
