REPORT - CHANGE TO TARGETED UNIT MIX ON PRIOR AWARD  
OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS  
FOR WEST AVENUE APARTMENTS  
BACKGROUND: West Avenue Apartments (Project) is a 40-unit  
apartment building located at 1400 West Avenue in Santa Rosa. The  
Project was built in 1986 and is owned by Burbank Housing and  
includes 39 affordable units currently rented to households at or below  
60% of AMI and one manager unit. There are 34 2-bedroom units and  
five 3-bedroom units in the Project. Burbank Housing has secured a  
conditional commitment of Portfolio Reinvestment Program (PRP) funds  
from the California Department of Housing and Community  
Development (HCD) to rehabilitate the property, in addition to the  
conditional award of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)  
funds from the Housing Authority committed to the project on October  
28, 2024. HCD is requiring Burbank Housing to update the targeted unit  
mix from 29 units at 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), one unit at 50%  
of AMI and nine units at 30% of AMI, which is the unit mix that was  
approved by the Housing Authority in the CDBG award, to increase the  
number of units affordable to households at 50% of AMI by one unit.  
The new targeted affordable unit mix is 28 units at 60% of AMI, two  
units at 50% of AMI, and nine units at 30% of AMI. The unit mix change  
must be approved, by resolution, by the Housing Authority.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and  
Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by  
resolution, approve a change to the targeted affordable unit mix for  
West Avenue Apartments identified in Resolution No. 1783, dated  
October 28, 2024, to align the targeted affordable unit mix with the  
requirements of the state funding sources supporting West Avenue  
Apartments.
