14.1  
REPORT - PARTIAL RELEASE OF DEEDS OF TRUST AND  
REGULATORY AGREEMENTS BETWEEN PARCELS FOR WEST  
HEARN AVENUE AND HEARN VETERANS VILLAGE  
BACKGROUND: Community Housing Sonoma County (CHSC) owns  
the Hearn Veterans Village and West Hearn Avenue projects located at  
2149 West Hearn Avenue located on Assessor’s Parcel Numbers  
134-011-012 and 134-011-013. West Hearn Avenue is an existing  
supportive housing project for formerly homeless veterans and Hearn  
Veterans Village is a proposed project that would provide 32 permanent  
supportive housing units. The two projects are located on adjacent  
lots, with a portion of the Hearn Veterans Village project situated on  
both parcels. CHSC is working to complete a lot line adjustment to  
allow each project to occupy its own parcel and has requested that the  
Deeds of Trust and Regulatory Agreements which have been recorded  
against both parcels be partially released to only encumber the  
respective parcel for which the loan was awarded.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and  
Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by  
resolution, approve partial releases of Deeds of Trust and Regulatory  
Agreements to Community Housing Sonoma County for West Hearn  
Avenue from APN 134-011-013 and for Hearn Veterans Village from  
APN 134-011-012 to separate the loans associated with each project,  
as adjusted through a lot line adjustment.

14.2  
REPORT - REQUEST TO RELEASE THE REGULATORY  
AGREEMENT ON 3555 SONOMA HIGHWAY UPON SALE AND  
REPAYMENT OF LOAN  
BACKGROUND: In 2010, California Human Development Corporation  
(CHDC) received a loan from the Housing Authority for the acquisition  
of the Stonehouse/Athena House located at 3555 Sonoma Highway  
(Property). The loan, accompanied by a recorded Regulatory  
Agreement, required that 28 of the 40 beds at the Property be reserved  
for individuals at or below 80% of area median income. CHDC has  
ceased operations at the site and is selling the property. CHDC is  
requesting the Regulatory Agreement be released upon sale of the  
Property and repayment of the outstanding loans.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and  
Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by  
resolution, authorize the termination and release of the 30-Year  
Regulatory Agreement for Stonehouse/Athena House upon the  
repayment of the outstanding principal and interest of the Housing  
Authority loans.
