REPORT - REQUEST TO RELEASE THE REGULATORY

AGREEMENT AND DEED OF TRUST FOR INDIVIDUALS NOW, INC.

DBA SOCIAL ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH (SAY) UPON SALE OF

PROPERTY AND REPAYMENT OF LOAN - RE: 1243 RIPLEY

STREET SANTA ROSA.

BACKGROUND: On July 27, 1992, the Authority awarded a $47,000

loan to Individuals Now, Inc. DBA Social Advocates for Youth for

acquiring a youth shelter at 1243 Ripley Street, Santa Rosa, CA. Upon

the loan’s maturity on August 4, 2023, the Authority extended the

repayment date by 15 years, forgave accrued interest, and set future

interest at 0% to ensure continued access to the shelter. The property,

restricted by a Regulatory Agreement with the Housing Authority’s loan

secured by a Deed of Trust is now subject to Chapter 7 bankruptcy

proceedings and is being prepared for sale. Approval of the request to

release the Deed of Trust and Regulatory Agreement upon the

property’s sale and repayment of the loan will allow the Housing

Authority to recoup its original investment of $47,000.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by

resolution, authorize the termination and release of the Regulatory

Agreement and Deed of Trust with Individuals Now, Inc. DBA Social

Advocates for Youth for the youth shelter located at 1243 Ripley Street

upon the sale of the property and repayment of the outstanding

principal of the Housing Authority Loan No. 9021-0274-93.

law, enact local policies pertaining to the HCV program. The

Administrative Plan must be reviewed at a public meeting and approved

by the PHA’s Board of Commissioners.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of

Housing and Community Services that the Housing Authority, by

resolution, adopt the Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative

Plan Chapter 8 - National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real

Estate and Rent Reasonableness Determinations effective July 1, 2024
