12.1

REPORT - REVISION TO PRIOR AWARD RESOLUTION CLARIFYING

LOAN SECURITY FOR ZANE-WOLFF VETERANS VILLAGE

BACKGROUND: Zane-Wolff Veterans Village (Project) is an affordable

housing development consisting of 14 single-family dwellings of

approximately 250 square feet commonly known as “tiny homes.” The

developer of the Project is Community Housing Sonoma County

(CHSC). Through the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA), CHSC received a conditional commitment of

$489,228 in local funds for rehabilitation-related costs for the Project

under Resolution 2025-014. The resolution states that the $489,228

loan will be secured by a Deed of Trust, which is part of the standard

loan documents used by the Housing Authority for loans to developers.

However, CHSC cannot enter into a traditional Deed of Trust for the

Project because CHSC does not own the land on which the Project is

built. CHSC has a leasehold interest in the real property, which is

owned by the County of Sonoma. The loan to CHSC must be secured

by a Leasehold Deed of Trust, and a revised resolution clarifying the

loan security must be approved by the Housing Authority.

RECOMMENDATION: The Housing and Community Services

Department recommends that the Housing Authority, by resolution,

approve a revision to the conditional commitment of loan funds in the

amount of $489,228 to Community Housing Sonoma County for

rehabilitation costs for Zane-Wolff Veterans Village. The revision

clarifies that the loan will be secured by a Leasehold Deed of Trust.

REPORT - APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND

ASSUMPTION OF HOUSING AUTHORITY REGULATORY

AGREEMENT, DENSITY BONUS HOUSING AGREEMENT,

PROJECT-BASED VOUCHER HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS

CONTRACT, AND LOANS FOR BENTON VETERANS’ VILLAGE -

1055 BENTON STREET

BACKGROUND: Community Housing Sonoma County (CHSC) is

selling 1055 Benton Street, known as Benton Veterans Village (Project),

and has entered into a purchase agreement with PEP Housing. The

Project is a seven (7) unit apartment complex affordable to households

with incomes between 30% and 80% of area median income (AMI).

The Housing Authority has three (3) loans on the property, in the

principal amount of $1,572,294 due on July 28, 2071, a Regulatory

Agreement and Density Bonus Housing Agreement securing

affordability through October 22, 2073, and a Project-Based Voucher

Housing Assistance Payments (PBV HAP) contract expiring on August

21, 2033. Additionally, the City of Santa Rosa provided the Project with

a loan in the principal amount of $895,448 due on January 9, 2073. As

part of this transaction, PEP Housing is seeking the Housing Authority’s

approval to assume the Regulatory Agreement, Density Bonus Housing

Agreement, PBV HAP contract, the Housing Authority’s loans and City

loan, and to extend the loans to October 22, 2073 to align with the

terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Density Bonus Housing

Agreement. City Council Resolution Number 2017-080 approving the

$895,448 loan authorized the Director of Housing and Community

Services to execute agreements on behalf of the City, including

assignment and assumption agreements.

RECOMMENDATION: The Housing and Community Services

Department recommends that the Housing Authority, by resolution,

conditionally approve the following for Benton Veterans Village, located

at 1055 Benton Street: 1) the transfer of ownership from Community

Housing Sonoma County to PEP Housing or an affiliate Limited Liability

Company (LLC); 2) the assumption of the Housing Authority's

Regulatory Agreement, Density Bonus Housing Agreement,

Project-Based Voucher Housing Assistance Payments contract, and

loans, in the principal amount of $1,572,294, plus a City of Santa Rosa

loan in the principal amount of $895,448 by PEP Housing or an affiliate

LLC; and 3) extension of the Housing Authority’s loans and City loan to

October 22, 2073 to align with the terms of the Regulatory Agreement

and Density Bonus Housing Agreement.
