VERBATIM MINUTES
- Matt Schueller, who is excused. Kathy Hinkfuss is here. And Melanie Parma is here.
- Here.
- We have a quorum.
- All right. So then looking for a motion to approve the agenda?
- Motion to approve.
- And I guess I'll second. And then all in favor say aye?
- Aye.
- Aye. All opposed? All right. Agenda approved. So we just have one order of business here on our
agenda. And, so I don't know, is that Will?
- It is.
- All right.
- Yes. And I just want to thank everyone for being able to accommodate both, Melanie and Kathy, but
staff and also the developers who were able to join us as well, just to try to expedite this process and
also making sure that at our full RDA meeting we're prepared to have some very focused
conversation and discussion. So I appreciate you all making the time to meet this morning. Really, the
item that we have today is consideration with possible action on the recommendation of a developer
for the 1100 block of East Walnut Street. Staff issued a Request for Proposals on July 13th for the
redevelopment of this site at 1100 block of East Walnut. The property is a 1.2 acre site, located in a
residential neighborhood along a major corridor to downtown. The RFP closed on September 24th.
We received three proposals. Staff's RFP team came together and met, reviewed, and scored each
proposal. And all three proposals did include affordable housing, which we were very pleased to see.
And also, these proposals, where where we felt were competitive, which felt the need for this
meeting as well. So based on the scoring and the team, we were able to make a recommendation of
MF Housing Partners, LLC, for the redevelopment of the 1100 block of East Walnut. Some of those
features and areas of this proposal that stuck out to staff was really their design and how this
development fit the neighborhood. The mix of incomes for this site was also something that staff
really liked to see. And then their funding as well, their capital stack that they're proposing, they're
looking at putting together, their offer to purchase the land at market value. And then they also did a
good job, we felt, at securing potential service providers, looking at NEWCAP, but then also even
going the extra mile, securing an artist for that inclusion of the 1%. So we, overall, all the proposals
that came in definitely were looking to serve a great need in our community. But the
recommendation, based on a scoring, staff is comfortable recommending the MF Partners, LLC. Staff,
my colleagues who are on with us, did I leave anything out from our review? Or is that sufficient?
Great. So with that, we do have the developers here to answer your questions, but then also just
wanted to open this up for your feedback. I know it was a very short turnaround time for you to
read through all three proposals. So I understand if you weren't able to make it through all of them.
But we wanted to have this opportunity to give you our recommendation, and then opportunity for
both you, Melanie and Kathy, to discuss these proposals and ask questions.
- All right. Well, thank you. Yeah, it was a lot of info, and I could say from my perspective, I come
from an industry where we prepare proposals, and so certainly a lot of work was put into each of
them, and certainly appreciate that. It's always exciting when we get multiple proposals. And
obviously tough for us to make the decision, more work for staff, but that's where we want to be, in
that position, seeing activity and interest in these properties. So that was great. And thankful to all of
the developers that put them together. I tried to take a lot of notes, and comparing, I will say that I
came up with a lot of the same comments that you just mentioned, Will, on, looking certainly at the
design, the income mix, who that team is. I certainly like when there's local preference to a team,
knowing that there's potential city involvement from a funding perspective. So when we have local
interests, that's always great, and the team members as well. I don't know, Kathy, do you have any
specific questions on the proposals? Do you feel the need to--
- The only question I would ask across the proposals, was there... One of the areas that we're really
low on in Green Bay is three bedrooms. So were they all reasonably competitive in how many three
bedroom units versus two versus one?
- Right. I don't have the breakdown in front of me right now with each proposal, but I can say that
each, I believe, were looking at one, two, and three, and I know even one proposal was looking at
including four bedroom as well.
- Okay. I'm just wondering how many? But as I go through this, I'll, I didn't get to the end. So why
don't we go ahead with the presentation? Does that makes sense?
- What was that?
- The presentation from the developer?
- I think you could open the floor, if you chose to, Melanie, and have the development teams that are
here, if they'd like to speak? They could give like--
- I don't think, yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think there's a specific presentation this morning,
correct? Right, no. Okay.
- Oh, okay.
- But we could open the floor. Do I have a motion to open the floor?
- Motion to open the floor.
- All right, and second. All in favor?
- Aye.
- Aye. Opposed? All right, floor open. Do we have a developer, I don't know, if there's interest? I was
gonna say, I know that, just in the order of our packet, I dunno if there's someone from the Impact
Seven team that is with us that wanted to speak? We'll just kind of go in order there, no particular
order.
- Sure. Hi, this is Michael with Impact Seven. Thank you for your consideration. We'd certainly, if
plans should fall through, with the city's preferred applicant, this is a site that we'll remain perpetually
interested in. Green Bay is a market that we've been working hard to get into, and we're continuing
to work fruitfully and positively with city staff on the 420 South Broadway site. So we're looking at a
couple of different options here. The Walnut Street site works very well as a 9% tax credit site. In
light of this RFP, we're confident that we'd have a score that would be competitive, highly competitive
for credits for that site. So I'm confident in the funding stack that we have there. And it's always a
pleasure working with the staff in Green Bay. So whether we end up having the opportunity to
develop Walnut, or if we're gonna focus on Broadway, I'm confident we're in good hands. And thank
you for your time and consideration.
- Thank you. Yes, certainly appreciate, again, seeing Impact Seven in the mix, knowing that you've
been working with staff and engaged in other projects. So that's always a good thing from a
committee member to see as well, is that there's continued interest, since that makes me feel
confident in what we're doing as a city and a redevelopment authority, and staff's engagement with
developers as well. So thank you, Michael, for being here this morning as well. And then the MF, I
think we've got on the line, if you wanted to share anything additional with us?
- Sure. Hi, everybody. I'm Marissa Downs. I'm one of the partners on MF Housing Partners. A couple
of the other partners are on the line with their videos off, but they are here. We're really excited,
and really want to express my appreciation for your vote of confidence in us. We felt like we brought
together an amazing team as far as architecture with Performa and EUA. Just a lot of great innovative
design experience. I think that that was, for us, one of the biggest challenges with the site, just trying
to keep it, to provide enough units for economies of scale, but yet also preserving the really single-
family, residential neighborhood feel as well. I think that with Kent Hutchison, the artist, who we've
already talked to, just really excited about what he can bring to the table. I personally have worked
with NEWCAP on a project up in Marinette, so have experience with them on a service provision
side of things. So I think that there's just a ton of opportunity with this site and just to continue the
growth out from downtown. So really excited to continue to talk to you about this. So thank you.
And here to answer any questions as well.
- Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate that. Kathy, do you have any questions?
- The only questions, I keep looking. So of the 41 units, 12 units are three bedroom, which is over
25%, which I like to see.
- Yes, we're finding that in so many markets, there are families who want to live in rental housing and
to have all their kids in one bedroom is just, it doesn't work. So we're excited about that. We were
able, and actually, just a little side story, when we were on with the architects, we presented the unit
mix to them, and we said, "Can you make this work?" And they came back and said, "Yes, we can."
We were all like, "Oh my God. Great." So it was really exciting to be able to do that.
- Yeah, and Cheryl, correct me if I'm wrong, but on the housing study, one of the areas that we're
really low in is three, four bedrooms. So this would be a big help.
- We're actually finding, in my discussions with representatives from JBS, of course in the project
we're looking to do on the far east side, they're including units that are four and five bedrooms now,
for larger families, which has been a change for us in the city.
- Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
- We need all units. We need all units.
- Yep. Sure. All right. And then representation from the Wise Women Gathering Place proposal?
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Hello, Bab Scow.
- Hi, I'm Beverly Scow, from Wise Women Gathering Place. And we've been really pleased to be
partnering with BlueLine Development. Hear from them. And they have a lot of experience in
trauma-informed design. They've got a lot of experience in permanent supportive housing out in
Colorado, and has 23 years providing service in Green Bay and Oneida. Wise Women Gathering
Place was, is very excited about this partnership and to provide support to residents in this program.
And we have recognized. Bedroom, more large bedroom mixes. We had families looking nine months
to find a landlord that would, we have a program to pay their rent and utilities for two years, and it
took nine months for them to find a place. So we advocated strongly for a higher room mix in our
proposal. And so Ashley, maybe if you would share a little bit more, that would be wonderful.
- Thank you, Bev. I just mostly want to echo Michael's comments, and thank you for the opportunity
to submit a proposal. We definitely are very excited about seeing the property redeveloped into
affordable housing. That's our passion. So even if it's not us in the front line, that's fine. So very
excited for the property to become what's envisioned with the city, and hope to continue with other
opportunities and partner with you guys in the future.
- Thank you, very much.
- Yeah, I think, I thought your proposal was very intriguing, and hopefully you, too, will continue to
work with staff to find another opportunity. If we could make them all work, that would be fantastic.
We can only do one on this property, but we certainly know that there are more opportunities. So
again, thank you for your time and your proposal as well. Any other questions, as we have the floor
open? Otherwise we'll return here to regular order of business.
- Move to return to regular order.
- All right. And second. All in favor? Aye.
- Aye.
- Opposed? All right, and we'll just return back to regular order of business here. I know that we had
language in our agenda about convening in closed session. I guess if staff feels there's something
further that we should discuss in closed session, or Kathy? If you have anything there as well. I guess
one thing, even before we go to that, if you could just explain what are the next steps beyond this for
us? So this was the RFP, this comes back in, and then what are the next steps from here, Will?
- Right. So the way that, what this body would be doing here, is making a recommendation to the
RDA, as to what developer to select. I know it may seem a little redundant, but really this is just,
again, to have that opportunity to have the developers here with us to maybe address some initial
concerns or questions, and just to kind of keep the process moving forward, because then what
would happen at the RDA on October 12th, is a final decision would be made on the developer of
choice. And then we're looking into a planning option. Is that correct, Cheryl?
- Yes, in fact, you could actually recommend executing a planning option with the entity today, and
that would be forwarded to the RDA.
- Okay. Okay.
- And that would be six months, Cheryl? Or is it three that we start with? I can't remember which
one.
- Most likely it will be six, just because, one thing with all three of these developers is they were
looking at including LIHTC credits. And I know that application is due in December and then with
award being sometime in spring, like usually April. So probably end up being that six month, closer to
that six month time period.
- Yeah. I don't feel the need to go into closed session. Again, does staff?
- No, the other reason why that was, it was just put on there as a courtesy and just in case, because
since all three developers were requesting public assistance through, whether that be TIF or HOME
funds, just if we needed to talk more about what that looked like or entailed. That's why that
language was put on there. We really, Melanie, I would like to echo your comment. Staff did, we had
to remind ourself a couple of times, back, we're looking at this site specific, even though each
development on their own certainly stands and is needed in our community, we kind of had to keep
reminding ourself again, what's in the best interest for this neighborhood, what fits this
neighborhood? So we would ultimately like to have that, keep the conversations going in the future
with all three of these developers to try to find a site that works and fits their development.
- Yes. I would definitely agree with that.
- And that closed session language, Melanie, was really if you wanted to dig into the developer's
personal financial information, then they may ask to close that. But I don't, there's not a need for that
today, I don't believe.
- Okay. Yeah, I don't think so either.
- Well then I think we should move forward. I'll make a motion that we approve the recommendation
and move forward with a planning option for MF Housing Partners, LLC, for the redevelopment of
the 1100 block of East Walnut.
- And you are including in that motion to move forward with the planning option.
- Yes, absolutely.
- At the RDA meeting. All right, I will second that. All in favor?
- Aye.
- Aye. Opposed? All right. Motion passes.
- Well, thank you.
- And I look forward to working with the rest of you guys. And Bab Scow, it was awesome to see
Wise Woman put forward and be part of a proposal.
- Thank you.
- Yeah. Very exciting.
- Thank you.
- Great. Thank you. All right. And then just a motion to adjourn?
- Motion to adjourn.
- Second. All in favor?
- Aye.
- Aye. All right.

property is valued at $84,000.
The RFP closed on September 24, 2021 with three proposals being submitted. Staff reviewed and scored

PROPOSAL FOR 1100 E. WALNUT STREET
CITY OF GREEN BAY, WI
APPLICANT: IMPACT SEVEN, INC.
2961 DECKER DRIVE, RICE LAKE, WI
SEPTEMBER 22, 2021

MICHAEL CARLSON, VP REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

Alignment and Strategy
The Walnut Street development supports the city’s goals described in the Smart Growth 2022 plan, the
2020 housing market study and the current RFP, which cites implementation of both the Smart Growth
plan and the 2020 market study and identifies the site as a priority for development.
The project will activate a vacant, underutilized site which is important to neighborhood and
community safety. The development will enhance the neighborhood’s appearance and bring ‘eyes
to the street,’ which in turn enhances safety. The massing and design of the building as well as
lighting for visibility and security also will play an important role in creating a safe and welcoming
environment.
City of Green Bay Smart Growth 2022 Comprehensive Plan
The Smart Growth 2022 Comprehensive Plan encourages infill development, and the Walnut site is
located within an identified affordable housing target growth area. The map incorporated into the Plan
calls for development in ‘Land Use Plan – District 4,’ which includes the Walnut Street site. The proposed
development supports the Plan’s goals, including:
Provide choices for people of all ages and income levels
Provide a measure of accessible housing units
Improve an established neighborhood
Integrate mixed‐income residential development into an existing neighborhood
Increase the stock of affordable housing
Stimulate increased activity
Enhance livability
Generate quality jobs
Contribute to the orderly development of the Walnut Street corridor
Grow the tax base.
City of Green Bay Housing Market Study – October 2020
The housing market study projections indicate that the city will need 3,314 to 7,441 housing units at an
annual growth rate of 140 to 310 units to meet demand by 2040. The Walnut Street development
proposes 41 new units spanning the targeted rent levels specified in the study. Without additional units,
economic growth could be hindered as employers have difficulty filling jobs when housing demand
exceeds supply, which can force would‐be residents to live elsewhere. In addition, the vacancy rate in
Green Bay is low at 1.8% which indicates an undersupply of housing units and signifies pent‐up demand.
The market study further demonstrates the city’s continued commitment to affordable housing and
reaffirms the Smart Growth 2022 Comprehensive Plan priorities. The primary goal is to “Build Healthy
Neighborhoods.” The Plan defines the qualities of healthy neighborhoods, and our proposal is in
alignment with these principles, including:
Provide a mix of unit sizes and price points
o Please see p. 3 – Table 1 for a breakdown of units and pricing
Include design features that make walking safe and pleasant
o Landscaping, lighting, building orientation and will contribute to safety and
help create pleasant experiences.
Bring convenient access to public transit and services
o Bus stops are conveniently located within walking and biking distance of
the site.
o Services including pharmacy, bank, grocery store, schools, post office, and
library are within a two (2) mile radius of the site.
Access to parks and open space
o The Johannes Park neighborhood has three (3) parks within walking and
biking distance of the site.
Provide community gathering spaces
o The proposed building design includes a community room where residents
can host gatherings, hold meetings, participate in recreation and leisure
activities, and enjoy fellowship.
o A courtyard is situated in the rear of the building
Design and Use
Impact Seven (“Developer”) is proposing to build a single, three‐story elevator building with
underground and surface parking. Impact Seven will be the developer/owner of the proposed
housing development.
The building will be mixed‐income multi‐family housing that will consist of 41 apartments
comprised of one, two, and three‐bedroom units.
The development will set aside thirty‐four (34) units with rents indexed to residents’ incomes
at 30% AMI, 50% AMI, 60% AMI. The project intends to provide eight (8) supportive housing
units at 30% AMI and prioritize additional units for veterans at 50% AMI. The remaining seven
(7) units will be market‐rate.
All units will be built to the same standard of finish and in‐unit amenities. Amenities include
underground and surface parking, in‐unit laundry, in‐unit internet, onsite community room,
onsite leasing office and management agent and onsite maintenance.
Per the requirements described in the RFP, Impact Seven has included project cost of 1% of
total project expenses for a public art installation on site, or to be provided to the city to
support public art.
Please see the attached concept plan for reference.
Due Diligence
Should the project move forward, a working period will be required to complete the due diligence
process, with steps to include:
To secure approvals from the City of Green Bay for our proposed use and plan.
The subject parcel is zoned Office Residential (OR), which accommodates multi‐
family development and rezoning is not necessary.
To conduct a thorough ALTA‐compliant survey
To secure permanent financing on our preferred terms
To secure an investor and a commitment of TIF incentive payment from the City
of Green Bay
To secure City of Green Bay HOME funds
To secure site control of subject site
To conduct soil tests, including soil boring and backhoe test pits to determine if
the soil if structurally sound
To conduct a Phase I and potentially Phase II environmental assessment. The city
has conducted a Phase 1 environmental assessment which did not identify any
evidence of recognized environmental conditions (RECs), and, therefore, a Phase
II may not be necessary
Unit Mix and Income
Most Walnut Street residents will be households who earn up to 80% AMI with the bulk of units set‐
aside for households who earn between 30% and 60% AMI. Table 1 provides a summary of the
proposed unit mix, distribution, and price points. The 30%, 50% and 60% AMI units are income‐indexed
with respect to WHEDA’s 2021 80% AMI rents for Brown County, and market rents are indexed to
WHEDA’s 80% rents.
Table 1
Walnut Street Apartments – Unit Mix
The end user for the eight (8) supportive housing units are residents with developmental, physical,
sensory, medical or mental health disabilities, or a combination of impairments.
Impact Seven will also enter a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with agencies specifically
providing services both to eligible residents and to veteran residents.
Property Taxes
Please see below for an estimated property tax calculation based upon current known mill rate and
anticipated project income and expenses:
Management Plan
Property management staff begin the lease‐up phase by marketing the property as ‘coming soon’ and
launching a website and waiting list. Leasing continues one the property is placed in service.
Once the building is placed in service, the property manager will, whenever there is a vacant
supportive housing unit, contact partnership offices and area local partners to ask for referrals from
prospective residents who are low‐income and who may also be eligible for long‐term care
assistance. Contacts will be made by our onsite management agent staff via email or phone.
The developer/owner and its property management agent will establish a waiting list of prospective
residents based on referrals described above.
The developer/owner and its property management agent will educate existing and prospective
residents aware of services and resources available during the application period and during
occupancy by posting brochures or other relevant materials of the Brown County ADRC and other area
collaborative partners in the building common areas, and will include a Brown County ADRC brochure at
lease signing.
Investment
The funding sources for the project include a permanent, fixed rate mortgage, Federal Home Loan Bank
funds, developer’s equity sourced via the Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit program, and a requested
contribution of municipal funds (at app. 10.4% of total project sources) to fill the remaining gap:
Project Timeline
Impact Seven will apply for Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) in December 2021. WHEDA
will announce tax credit award winners in April 2022. If credits are awarded, Impact Seven will
use the remainder of 2022 to apply for Federal Home Loan Bank AHP funds, City of Green Bay
municipal funds, procure a LIHTC tax credit investor, and secure construction and permanent
financing.
AHP awards are announced in December 2022. Upon receipt of an AHP award, staff will apply for
City of Green Bay HOME dollars, and plan for groundbreaking in Spring 2023. The tax credit
program requires that construction start no later than July 31, 2023. we anticipate an 12‐to‐14
month construction period and attaining full occupancy no later than December 2024.

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Since its founding in 1970, Impact Seven has successfully developed or provided development consulting services for over
2,000 affordable housing units throughout Wisconsin. These projects have been financed with a wide variety of public
funding sources such as:
• Low Income Housing Tax Credits (19 projects)
• HUD 202 and HUD 811 (45 projects)
• Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (14 projects)
• USDA Rural Development 515 Loans (13 projects)
• FHLB Affordable Housing Program Funds (43 projects)
• HOME Funds (14 projects)
• Historic Tax Credits (5 projects)
In addition to contributing considerable equity and financing of its own, Impact Seven has leveraged these funds with
investments from many Wisconsin banks, municipalities, foundations and other private and nonprofit partners. Impact
Seven began as a consultant for counties, municipalities and Native American communities. In this capacity, Impact Seven
assisted with identifying needs, setting up ownership/management entities, assembling financing, and overseeing the
construction and management of housing, industrial, commercial/retail and mixed-use developments. In 1985, Impact
Seven began developing projects of its own. Today, Impact Seven is parent to more than 60 wholly owned subsidiary
corporations consisting of a total of 1,300 units of affordable housing. Projects are located across Wisconsin in rural
communities, mid-sized metropolitan cities and urban Milwaukee neighborhoods. The list includes approximately 840 units
set aside for elderly persons or persons with disabilities.
Impact Seven’s approach to housing development is built on three core values:
• Flexibility. Understanding a community’s needs and the flexibility to craft a project that is responsive to those
needs are critical elements for successful housing development. Impact Seven is committed to working with project
partners and local stakeholders to build developments that support community goals and improve the lives of
low- and moderate-income households. We have broad experience with a range of rental housing development
types including new construction, historic and adaptive reuse, mixed use, urban infill and rural developments
throughout the state.
• Sustainability. Impact Seven seeks to develop rental communities that are sustainable from both design and
financial perspectives. As a long-term owner, Impact Seven has a vested interest in utilizing building methods
and materials that produce structures that are energy efficient and durable. In addition, Impact Seven employs
rigorous underwriting to ensure its developments can remain affordable to tenants and financially viable over the
long term.
• Resourcefulness. Impact Seven has a successful track record of securing various grants, low interest loans and
other sources of “soft financing” that close budget gaps and provide long term affordability. Impact Seven views
real estate development as a collaborative process and considers strong relationships to be an important
resource.

PROPERTY & ASSET MANAGEMENT
Impact Management Group, Impact Seven’s property management subsidiary, currently manages over 1,300 units located
in more than 100 distinct buildings across Wisconsin, ranging from rural northern Wisconsin to urban metropolitan
Milwaukee. Project sizes range from single-family homes and duplexes to a 73-unit multifamily building located in
Milwaukee.
The Impact Management Group’s property management team includes 40 full-time and 24 part-time staff who are highly
qualified and experienced with the full array of income eligibility, accounting, reporting, maintenance and compliance
requirements found in all major state and federal affordable housing programs, such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
and HUD project-based rental assistance. Positions are specialized around specific components such as affirmative
marketing procedures, income eligibility and tenant recertification. Housing staff receive regular training and attend both
national and statewide conferences including the WHEDA state housing conference, annual meetings and events of the
Wisconsin Council for Affordable and Rural Housing and NeighborWorks Training Institutes.
Impact Seven invests in LIHTC properties as a long-term owner. In order to ensure the ongoing physical and financial
sustainability of our real estate investments, Impact Seven’s management structure is inclusive of an Asset Management
function tasked with financial monitoring and capital planning. Our Asset Manager has been an integral part of the Real
Estate Development Committee and is involved in new development projects from inception through completion and lease-
up, assisting with financial analysis during the due diligence process, providing input for unit composition, income
targeting and physical design and other matters affecting long-term self-sufficiency. For properties in Impact Seven’s
owned portfolio, the Asset Manager tracks performance via a Watch List system inclusive of financial health indicators such
as occupancy and cash flow, and is responsible for maintaining 5- and 10-year capital needs assessments for each property
in order to accurately budget for maintenance and capital improvements. The Asset Manager also plans for and coordinates
the Year 15 LIHTC unwind and recapitalization.
For Impact Seven-owned properties under third party management, the Asset Manager works cooperatively with the
property management company to represent the owner in regular meetings; reviews annual financials and audits;
participates in and monitors the annual budgeting process; monitors cash flow, rent and reserve levels; and acts as the
liaison between the property manager and the tax credit syndicator/investor. The Asset Manager continuously monitors the
useful life of the building and its major systems, planning for capital needs and ensuring that reserves are funded at
appropriate levels. Finally, the Asset Manager coordinates between the third-party property manager and Impact Seven’s
internal property management and accounting divisions to ensure that financial and occupancy information are entered
into our management and accounting software. If for any reason a property fails to accumulate reserves at a sufficient level
to fund needed improvements, the Asset Manager works with Impact Seven’s Director of Resource Development to secure
the necessary funding or financing.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
In order to catalyze investment, grow small businesses, create jobs, and increase the stock of affordable housing, Impact
Seven provides lending capital, technical assistance, and development services to borrowers with small business,
commercial real estate and affordable housing projects. By offering affordable rates and flexible terms in combination with
right-touch technical assistance and business development services, Impact Seven provides entrepreneurs with the
resources they need to focus on running successful businesses. Additionally, we are increasingly involved in complex
economic development projects that leverage significant social impacts such as high levels of living-wage job creation,
coordinating complex capital stacks and frequently providing the one slice of financing that makes the project a reality.
Impact Seven’s current portfolio totals $193 million, comprised of our loans as well as loans managed and serviced for
third parties.
Impact Seven’s lending provides critical capital with flexible terms that are tailored to meet the individualized needs of
businesses. Our flexible underwriting criteria allows us to serve borrowers who are unable to obtain traditional financing
due to creditworthiness or lack of collateral, while establishing parameters designed to support businesses that are viable
despite not fitting within conventional underwriting requirements.
Projects may be located in disadvantaged areas but are financially viable and capable of generating financial as well as
social returns, such as creating high numbers of family-supporting jobs and catalyzing future development in the region.
These businesses or projects often have characteristics that render them undesirable to conventional lenders, such as
unconventional collateral or complex financial structures that add cost to underwriting. Borrowers work with one of our
loan officers on an individual basis from the first phone inquiry through loan closing. Loan officers assist borrowers
through the application process, providing hands-on assistance when needed, such as in preparing financial statements or
making cash flow projections. Our loan risk rating system assigns a risk score to each loan to determine the intensity of
the intervention. The success of this approach is evidenced by an average default rate of less than one percent. By providing
affordable rates and flexible terms and accepting non-traditional collateral such as equipment or inventory, Impact Seven
closes critical gaps in financing.
Finally, our subordinate debt pool leveraging New Markets Tax Credits brings the benefit of tax credits to businesses
producing significant social returns, such as high levels of job creation or redevelopment of blighted infrastructure. Our
robust portfolio performance indicates that we are meeting strong demand for financing by qualified borrowers with viable
projects.

Dear Green Bay City Staff and Members of the Green Bay RDA,
On behalf of MF Housing Partners, LLC and our entire team, we would like to extend our
appreciation for the opportunity to submit this potential development in answer to the RFP for the
redevelopment of the eastern block of E Walnut Street. This presentation will outline our strategy to
bring a medium density, affordable housing project that answers many of needs expressed in the
City’s 2020 Housing Market Study and adds significant increment to the current tax base.
The design and overall project scope have been put together to not only be awarded this RFP, but
score extremely competitively for the 2022 round of WHEDA low income housing tax credits. By
leveraging the multifamily experience, specifically in the affordable sector, of each part of our team,
we have confidence that if awarded, we can work alongside the City to bring a successful mixed-
income housing development to this neighborhood of Green Bay.
We thank you in advance for your consideration, and look forward to answering any questions
MF Housing Partners, LLC
Marissa Downs Dan Klister Tom Klister Jack Klister

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGY
The key to a vibrant community….
City East Apartments (“City East”) is a proposed multifamily development that will help transform
the 1100 block of East Walnut Street by reimagining an underutilized 1.2-acre lot into 43 apartment
homes. The development will be a uniquely designed, safe, and professionally managed community
that compliments the look and feel of the existing residential neighborhood. City East Apartments will
be a mixed-income development with more than 84% of units specifically catering to residents
making 60% or less of the current county median income. In accordance with many of the findings in
the 2020 Green Bay Housing Market Study, the unit mix and location of City East Apartments will
address the housing needs of Green Bay at large.
Increase the Safety of East Walnut Street
The Property currently functions as a eight (8) vacant parcels in midst of a predominantly single-
family residential neighborhood. There are an estimated 13,461 people and 5,400 households within
one (1) mile of the Property. The immediate neighborhood has seen a substantial amount of recent
turnover over the past two (2) years, with a combined nine (9) houses on the two blocks facing E
Walnut Street selling for an average of approximately $116,000*.
City East Apartments will be the first multi-family residential building constructed in the immediate
neighborhood in more than 20 years**, providing a long overdue investment in an area that currently
lacks newer, architecturally significant living options. The addition of a medium density project like
City East will encourage more daily activity in the neighborhood, and support the Housing Study
claim of increasing the health of the neighborhood by adding a newer, unique type of housing with
different price points.
To accommodate the influx of a medium density development and help maintain safety in the
neighborhood, City East Apartments will have onsite professional property management and other
security measures such as fobbed entrances, multiple indoor/outdoor security cameras, and proper
exterior lighting.
*Home Sale Data Provided by Zillow
**Per Appendix B of 2020 Green Bay Housing Study 4
Vacant Lot into Productive Development
The main goals of City East Apartments are to maximize the highest and best use of the
subject property, while providing a medium density development that corresponds with
the findings of the City’s 2020 Housing Market Study. Specifically, City East Apartments
will hope to both increase and retain residents in this neighborhood by providing a
modern rental housing option for those who may not be able to afford to live in a luxury
housing complex nearby. It is estimated that this project alone will create approximately
$3 million of increment. City East Apartments will provide a convenient living solution for
the more than 24,000 daytime employees located within one (1) mile of the Property. Est. $3M
Increase of
In addition to 43 apartment homes, City East will have on-site programming space that
will be occupied by a nonprofit partner, NEWCAP, rent free in order to allow for job
Increment
training, Home-buyer classes, foreclosure prevention, financial coaching and space for a
Virtual Business Center to allow for connection with employment opportunities. This
space will not be exclusive to City East Apartments residents, but will serve the
community as a whole.
Accessible & Innovative Design for All
City East Apartments will incorporate modern multifamily amenities and adhere to both Wisconsin
Green Built Home Standard and Universal Design, meaning it will be a space that is “accessed,
understood and used to the greatest extent possible by people regardless of their age, size, ability or
disability”* Both codes are considered to be far and above normal municipality building codes.
Examples of these design standards include:
• Visitable Units – Each unit at City East Apartments can be accessed from the parking lot or
street level via an entrance ramp and/or elevator.
• Proper Clearances / Safety Precautions – Floor plans will have an open concept layout, and
individual rooms will be designed to permit wide turning motions for those in wheel chairs. Grab
bars will be installed in restrooms to promote safe use.
• Timeless Design – Apartments will be designed for all ages, and allow residents to remain in
their respective apartments as they age or physical abilities change.
Located between the main thoroughfares of Mason Street and Main Street, City East Apartments is
easily accessed by car and/or non vehicular options. Future residents will enjoy free access to bike
racks provided onsite, and a short walk across the street to a bus stop serving Route 7, a daily bus
line that visits locations such as East High School, Festival Foods, and the UW-Green Bay Library.
Sidewalks surrounding the property will remain untouched, and will continue to help the Property
hold true to its designated Walk Score of 81.
City East Apartments will provide a large first floor community space that includes places to work,
study, and/or socialize with friends or fellow residents. The space will have free wi-fi for residents.
Addition of Local Art
The development team is committed to the incorporation of art across the City, and has joined
forces with Kent Hutchison, an artist and Green Bay native, to provide a unique exterior structure to
the project. Kent has more than 15 years of art experience and specializes in large metal and glass
fabrication. This art piece will be located near the front entrance of the property, at the corner of E
Walnut St. and N Roosevelt St.
*Definition of Universal Design according to The Centre for Excellence in Universal Design 5
DESIGN & USE
Scope of Work
City East Apartments is envisioned to be a three-story, 43-unit multifamily development. The mix of
1, 2, and 3 bedroom units is based upon perceived demand, as well as efficiently maximizing the
building footprint. The unit count allows for the project to be financially feasible, scores maximum
points with WHEDA, and falls within the recommended range for this site in the RFP and 2022 Smart
Growth Comprehensive Plan. All units will have open concept layouts, plenty of natural light, and
modern conveniences such as in-unit laundry and controllable central air conditioning.
To best compliment the established character of the neighborhood, the building will include several
exterior design elements to help blend in with the surrounding single-family homes. These include:
• Articulation: The building footprint is laid out to emphasize the frontage of both E Walnut Street
and N Roosevelt Street, while maintaining proper setbacks. This design maximizes site lines for all
apartments and utilizes the corner location for the main lobby entrance and community area. The
sidewalks and cross walks already in place will be essential for the safety of residents coming in
and out of the main entrance.
• Alignment & Modulation: While it is the intent to provide a continuous and connected mixed-use,
multi-family apartment building, the proposed 43-unit development has been designed to emulate
four (4) individual first floor ‘town-houses’ (of eight (8) total) along E Walnut Street. This is
achieved by projecting a variety of material types, textures, colors, and patterns to distinguish the
first floor from upper floors.
• Building Materials & Colors: Through the use of natural colored vinyl, wood, and masonry
cladding, the proposed development aims to satisfy the requirements of the RFP by
complimenting and celebrating the residential character of the adjacent neighborhood context
and street frontages.
• Rooftop Style: To further promote the cohesion of the building with the surrounding
neighborhood, the rooftop varies in height and style (flat and gable-styled patterns) along both E
Walnut Street and N Roosevelt Street. Please see next page for full explanation of height
variance.
Parking
There are a total of 60 stalls located on the northern portion of the Property, with one ingress and
egress point off of N Roosevelt Street. The unassigned stalls will be offered free of charge for all
residents and guests, and the lot will be maintained diligently in the winter months. With 43 units
and 60 stalls, there is a ratio of 1.40 parking stalls per unit, successfully meeting the requirements of
City Code Chapter 44, Article XVIII for multiple-family dwelling units of one (1) stall per unit + one
(1) visitor space per four (4) units.
Underground parking was taken into consideration, but was found to be not financially feasible
given the affordable nature of this project.
6
Form
Currently zoned Office Residential (OR), the development must adhere to a maximum floor area ratio
of (2.0). The building is designed with a floor area ratio of approximately (1.17). The impervious
surfaces are calculated to be approximately 77% of the site. While this exceeds the maximum value
for Office Residential districts, it does fall below the limit for the Neighborhood Center district, which
appears to be more aligned with the higher density development the RFP is requesting.
The RFP indicates that though the height limit for the site is thirty-five feet (35’) and the building is to
not exceed three stories, considerations will be made for proposals that exceed these limits if the
project compliments the established neighborhood character. As referenced in the image above, the
total height of the proposed project does exceed thirty-five (35’) but does not exceed three (3)
stories in height. The average height of the proposed development exceeds the thirty-five foot (35’)
requirement by approximately four (4) feet.

of the income set aside.
While the income of each household is determined by household size, it is anticipated that the
various set-asides at 30%, 50% and 60% CMI would serve those households with incomes between
$16,950 and $52,320, catering to the more than 146,814 people living within five (5) miles of the
Property with a median household income of $52,049.*
Currently located in a “Higher Priority” location for affordable housing according to the 2020 Housing
Study, City East Apartments will address a significant Green Bay housing shortage, specifically
lessening the cost burden of households earning less than 30% of the CMI (current shortage of 3,715
units), as well as those earning between 51 and 80% of CMI (shortage of 1,285 units) by providing
nine (9) and 24 units, respectively.
Occupancy Timeline
City East Apartments will be submitted to WHEDA for consideration in the upcoming 2022 round.
The application cycle starts in December 2021 with announcements in May 2022. Once tax credits
are awarded, the predevelopment process will begin immediately with the intention to break ground
by October 2022. This would allow for a lease up to begin in Fall 2023 with stabilization achieved by
Spring 2024.

INVESTMENT
Development Costs: Land Purchase Price $200,000
Hard Costs $7,260,640
Soft Costs $1,958,944
Reserves $225,761
Total Project Costs $9,645,345
Sources of Funds:
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Equity $5,275,972
City of Green Bay Support $800,000
Grants or Subordinate Loans By Others $900,000
Deferred Development Fee $208,995
First Mortgage $2,460,378
Total Sources of Funds $9,645,345
Current Assessed Value $0.00
Estimated (As Complete) Assessed Value $3,000,000
Estimated Increment Created $3,000,000
Total project costs are expected to be approximately $9.70M; However, the estimated assessed
value of the development as completed is $3M. This is due to the methodology applied when
appraising a development built with Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The income approach is
utilized as the main basis of value.
The above breakdown shows $800,000 being requested in City financial assistance. This scenario
also assumes a land purchase price of $200,000, a reduction of which would reduce the gap funding
required by the City. While a pay-go TIF seems like a logical source for this support, it is noted that
the Property is not located in an active TID. With the ability to extend other City TID’s for an
additional year in order to support affordable housing development, we have identified this as
another potential source for this support. City HOME funds, ARPA funds or CDBG funds would also
be a potential sources if this use is within the City’s goals for each of the aforementioned funding
options.
Please see the following page for a bank letter from Community First Credit Union signifying our
ability to achieve proper financing for this development. An allocation of LIHTC will be applied for
and determined by WHEDA.

Gabriel Lofts Through Performa’s thoughtful design and planning, the
building has been reimagined once again. Transforming into
Fore Development & Investment Group luxury apartments that will continue the longstanding tradition
De Pere, WI
and expectation of superior quality and service with FORE
Development and Investment Group.
The Gabriel Furniture building has been a lasting fixture
on the corner of College Avenue and S. Morrison Street
for over a century. Built in 1888 as the Konemic Lodge by
the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows, it was the first
home to travelers and several Appleton organizations. Some
thirty years later, Joseph Gabriel opened Gabriel Furniture
and established one of our community’s most hospitable
businesses that have flourished over the last ninety years,
most recently by the way of Joe and Ruby Wells.

Braebourne Condominiums The early roots of the Allouez riverfront trace back to the
Braebourne Estate. This estate once defined Riverside Drive.
Best Built
Our design for this luxury condominium builds on this legacy,
Green Bay, WI
creating a new chapter for the estate and neighborhood.
Thirty-five well-appointed residences with exclusive shared
amenities such as a sky-terrace and rooftop dog-park take
full advantage of the sweeping views up and down the Fox
River. Being sited at the bank of the river gives the residents
direct access to the Fox River trail and a boat dock.
30 units face the water with outdoor room-sized balconies
and windows that open up the living and dining space to the
views. All residences have indoor parking. Luxurious end
residences units wrap around the building on three exposures
to provide natural cross-ventilation within the units.
22
Legacy Hotel The Legacy Hotel will be approximately 90,000 square feet,
five stories tall with an exterior of glass, stone and metal panel.
Private Investors The Legacy will include a total of 80 guest rooms comprised
Green Bay, WI
of 66 studio suites, 11 classic suites and three grand suites.
There will also be a lobby bar, cafe and restaurant (Brasserie)
on the main level, as well as a smaller bar and rooftop patio on
the fifth floor. Also included in the design are several meeting
rooms, a wellness spa and fitness center
Property owner Vicki Fabry shared, “we want to create a
boutique hotel that is unique and a welcoming entity in the
community”. She further shared the intention “to open the
corridor between Lambeau Field and the area to the East
known as the Legends District”.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING EXPERIENCE
Through a collaborative process, we navigate complex requirements to produce well-rounded plans that create an
attractive and viable development. We design custom environments connected to the community and its history, while
layering dynamic and discoverable features throughout the spaces for authentic identity.
Supportive living settings of today go beyond providing shelter by fostering social interactions and bridging connections
within communities. To support this, the architectural design needs to function at the interior and exterior level, creating
neighborhood-centric identity that provides meaningful connections and resident engagement.

CENTURY CITY LOFTS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING + NEW CONSTRUCTION
Design an affordable + safe living
environment in an urban setting
Century City Lofts is an affordable housing development
located near a former automotive manufacturing plant
and serves as an important component in an effort to
revitalize a Milwaukee northside neighborhood. With
security heavily emphasized during the design process,
the project provides safe, high-quality affordable
housing.
This unique, modern development consists of a four-
story apartment building with 29 rental units and a
two-story town home-style building with 8 rental units.
The apartments range from one to three bedrooms,
and have been financed with WHEDA tax credits. A
community room on the ground floor displays artwork
from the community brightening up the surround urban
neighborhood.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING + NEW CONSTRUCTION
Create community through green
building + amenities
This two-building affordable housing project was planned
to encompass the majority of a city block and integrate
with an existing affordable housing building and several
community service buildings to create a cohesive
development. The first component of the project is a
four-story multi-family building that includes a community
room, fitness room, laundry rooms, tenant storage and
covered parking. The second component, located on
the opposite corner of the site, is comprised of six town
homes and four flats.
Each unit has a private backyard and a dedicated
garage. Green Built Homes™ concepts have been
implemented to create an energy-efficient, sustainable
building. Community gardens are located in the middle
of the block and accessible to building occupants and the
neighboring community.

Two buildings that maximize the
interior + exterior spaces
EUA designed the 11-story mixed-use building, The
Lyric, and the adjoining 4-story wood-frame affordable
housing, The Breese. This project spans half a city block
and was finished in two phases: the first being The Lyric
followed by The Breese.
The first three floors of The Lyric are filled with retail
stores and office space. EUA worked with many of the
tenants throughout the design and construction phases,
ensuring a smooth process for the developer and tenants.
The following seven floors are filled with high-end studio,
one- and two-bedroom apartments. Covered in glass, the
11th story is a rooftop common area for tenants to enjoy.
With high demand for family housing, The Breese, a
four-story, handicap accessible, affordable housing
building was constructed and connected to The Lyric
through underground parking. Zoning complexities with an
11-story concrete, and 4-story, wood frame project were
mitigated with early and frequent communication with the
city, neighbors and alderman throughout the project.

WESTLAWN GARDENS
MIXED-USE + MIXED-INCOME HOUSING +
REDEVELOPMENT + NEW CONSTRUCTION [LEED
ND SILVER]
Transforming Wisconsin’s largest public
housing neighborhood into sustainable
mixed-use community
Originally built as barrack-style housing units more
than 50 years ago on Milwaukee’s northwest side,
Westlawn Gardens required significant attention to
improve the lives of its residents, many of whom are
low income minorities. With a focus on financial, social
and ecological sustainability, the neighborhood is now a
pedestrian-oriented, vibrant, mixed-use area, challenging
the perception of public housing. By offering a mix of
apartments, town homes and duplexes, all of which are
designed to LEED standards, the community is able to
meet the variety of needs of its citizens.
Homes were built with weather-resistant materials and
insulation to endure long Wisconsin winters and minimize
maintenance and heating costs, while extending the life
of the structures. Uniquely, the housing authority acted as
their own developer, allowing additional funding to pour
back into the project and continue onto phase two of the
project, which will more than double the current available
housing and incorporate additional market rate homes
and rental units.
DETAILS 75 acres (Phases 1 + 2)

1100 Block E. Walnut St.
WWGP & BLD Proposal
2. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGY
Wise Women Gathering Place, in partnership with BlueLine Development, are proposing the
development and new construction of a 60-unit supportive multi-family rental complex, for
individuals and families who struggle to find, afford, and maintain housing. As proposed, this
affordable housing development would encompass a mix of 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedrooms units, in a single
3-story building with an elevator. The unit mix allows for individuals and families to benefit from
the services that Wise Women Gathering Place will offer within the building – which focuses on a
holistic approach to individual’s healing and stability. This would include mental and behavioral
health services, cultural and life skills services, and other support to walk alongside those
experiencing homelessness and assist their transition to becoming housed. Edge of the Woods Place
will house individuals and families who earn at or less than 30% of the Area Median Income and are
or are at risk of becoming homeless, with a preference given to those of Native American heritage
and/or descendancy, as allowed by fair housing. Rental units available for households at this income
level were identified to have the greatest shortage (i.e. greatest need) currently and projected over
the next 20 years, per the Green Bay Housing Market Study. The Brown County Housing Authority
has expressed their support of Wise Women Gathering Place’s plans for PSH and we will be working
with them to receive (60) vouchers for this development, to ensure the continued success of the
property and its residents. Due to the vouchers attached to each unit a household’s rent payment
will be capped at 30% of their gross income, securing housing affordability for the residents and
allowing them to focus on and not forego other life expenses such as food, healthcare, and childcare.
SAFETY: The community benefits resulting from the implementation of this development include
an overall safer and better community with less strain on local resources (up to 50% of costs) such
as shelters, food banks, medical and emergency services, and city/county provided services. This is
accomplished by providing safe, healthy, and stable housing along with onsite supportive, mental,
behavioral, social, and cultural services for the residents – all of which are accomplished with the
proposed development.
PRODUCTIVE: As an urban infill of a currently vacant lot, the completion of this project will allow
for an upgrade in on-street infrastructure to expand the walkability and curb appeal of the existing
neighborhood, in addition to a newly constructed, aesthetically appealing and energy efficient
building. The project is committed to achieving Enterprise Green Communities certification to
ensure efficiency and sustainability are a priority outcome. The increase in property taxes from this
development is estimated to be $63,600/yr., with minimal impact to current city infrastructure and
provided services, given its location within an existing and active neighborhood. In addition, the
proposed development is anticipated to create or sustain (73) jobs during the construction and
influence at least (18) full or part-time jobs once in operation. The overall local economic impact is
expected to be approximately $4.75MM in the first year and approximately $1.44MM every year
thereafter (statistics on job creation and economic impact provided by NAHB, ratio based on 100-
unit LIHTC development).
ACCESSIBILE FOR ALL: The Edge of the Woods Place will be designed and constructed for individuals
and families of all ages and abilities. There will be a community room onsite, along with outdoor
gathering space and playground / outdoor recreation area to provide safe access to outdoor physical
activities along with an opportunity to build a community. The building will be served by an elevator,
allowing individuals with physical disabilities to have the ability to enjoy the upper floors, along with
an increased quantity beyond code minimum, of full accessible units for a total of (6). Fully
1100 Block E. Walnut St.
WWGP & BLD Proposal
accessible units will be designed and constructed to the most stringent of ANSI 117.1 and
UFAS/Section 504 requirements. In addition, (3) additional units will be for audio/visual disabilities
and all non-fully accessible units will adaptable (Type B), to allow conversion to an accessible unit
and the flexibility for residents to age in place. The location of the property is ideal, especially for
the population being served as the residents are very likely to depend on local shops, groceries,
clinics, etc. being with walking or biking distance. Per www.walkscore.com, this location is
considered Very Walkable and Very Bikeable, along with having nearby access to public transit, a
necessity for the residents.
INNOVATION: The proposed project will expand the residential / multi-family real estate in the local
community, along with improve the curb appeal and potentially encourage other redevelopment in
the area. The integration of an aesthetically pleasing exterior façade, along with resident access to
onsite open spaces and the integration of public art, will enhance and support the connection of
residents with the surrounding neighborhood. The true innovation of the proposed project lies
within the partnerships and creation of a community. As the lead service provider, Wise Women
Gathering Place (WWGP) is known for their collaborative approach and promoting peace, respect,
and belonging through skill building, sharing of resources, and caring community support, along with
the promotion of healthy relationships at all levels, including with oneself and others. The
partnerships will allow residents to have a choice and option of service providers and the services
provided, along with mindful referrals to offsite services. Numerous local organizations have been
identified as a potential to partner with WWGP on the project including Oneida Behavioral Health.
Additionally, the Baeten Counseling & Consultation Team has already committed to providing
services to the residents and the local Housing Authority has committed vouchers. This is a project
that all involved will be proud of and continue to provide much needed support for the most
vulnerable residents and families of Green Bay for years to come.
3. DESIGN AND USE
The proposed project includes a (60) unit, deed restricted affordable, permanent supportive rental
homes, for individuals and families who are considered most vulnerable in the community and are
experiencing or are at risk of homelessness. The project includes a mix of (20) one-, (16) two-, (12)
three-, and (12) four-bedroom units, for individuals and families earning at or less than 30% of the
Area Median Income. The single building will be (3)-stories and served by an elevator and a secured
single point of entry. There will be an enclosed outdoor space and playground for the residents,
along with a community room, private conferencing space(s), and secured bike storage. Parking will
be onsite and currently consists of underground / podium parking along with surface parking. As
preliminary designed, the parking is sufficient for the unit mix and provides one space per unit, as
well as visitor spaces, which complies with the relevant parking requirements, per City Code Chapter
44, Article XVIII. Per the zoning ordinance, the parking includes 20% compact spaces, equaliing 15
total spots. Our Zoning strategy meets the City Code requirements for “Mixed Use.” The height
requirements limit the building to 35’, which matches the preliminary design shown in the
attachments. The only divergence from City Code relates to the setback requirements. The
preliminary design building setbacks is based on guidance in the RFP, which differs from the City
Code as noted on our drawings. However, if it is determined the City Code prevails, the building
layout can be adjusted to accommodate the different setback distances and maintain the character
and unit mix, as proposed.
1100 Block E. Walnut St.
WWGP & BLD Proposal
Shopworks Architecture designed the building to meet the character expectations within the City
Code as well as the guidance from the RFP. The ground floor will be characterized by the residential
lobby and an urban presence at the corner with pedestrian-scale masonry detailing, and storefront-
like fenestration. The south-facing courtyard will front Walnut Street and will be enclosed utilizing
a combination of masonry-wall detailing and ornamental fence. Levels two and three of the building
are designed to be four-sided architectural design with relief in the form of deep recesses every 20-
25 feet to simultaneously reduce the dimension of the mass and to create a scale that is comfortable
with the single-family homes nearby. We are exploring a buff palate that is complementary to the
ideas and best practices in supportive housing design, while reflecting the character and heritage of
Green Bay.
See attached preliminary site plan, elevations, and massing diagrams. These diagrams and drawings
are meant to demonstrate the intent of this RFP can be meet in the design, but nothing presented
should be understood as final, as the design is in the early phases and modifications are anticipated
based on feedback and engagement of other stakeholders as the schematic design progresses. It is
the intent of the development team to engage stakeholders, including the City, potential residents,
neighbors, and applicable local organizations in a voluntary design workshop. This will allow the
neighborhood and others to provide input and help shape the final design and layout of the building
and property, the exterior façade, along with the floor plans of the individual units and common
spaces. This not only helps provide valuable feedback from those involved, but also helps create a
collaborative atmosphere and encourage community engagement.
All residents will have access to supportive services – both wholistic cultural services, including life-
skills, and intensive services mental and behavioral health, and a preference within the tenant
selection process for those of Native American descendancy or heritage, as there is a significant
disproportion of this population being at risk of homelessness, along with a substantial positive
impact and benefit from involvement in a community. Wise Women Gathering Place, as the lead
service provider for the property, has the experience and knowledge of their clients. WWGP
identified the common denominator in the struggles of their clients was the lack of access to and
ability to maintain safe and healthy housing. With this need identified, WWGP will work with their
clients, in addition to numerous local organizations, for referrals to this project. Recent Point-in-
Time surveys show an increase in households considered homeless, with the highest population
concentration in the Green Bay/Brown County area. In addition, a market study for a similar nearby
project, conducted in August 2020 provided an opinion that Edge of the Woods Place would be a
very marketable property, a strong capture rate, and anticipated absorption (stabilized occupancy)
within four months of completion.
The anticipated completion/ready for occupancy of the project pending a successful award of the
property, is December 2023. The main driver of the completion date is this project is dependent on
an award of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, which is expected to occur in April 2022 and
construction commencement by December 2022. An initial analysis shows the project scores well
for an award of the Housing Credits comparatively to previous years, however this also presents a
potential challenge in meeting the above timeline. It is the development team’s intent, if awarded
the purchase for the Walnut property, to continue fundraising efforts (LIHTC, AHP, HOME, etc.) until
sufficient funding is available to develop the project as envisioned.

WWGP & BLD Proposal
4. INVESTMENT
The overall development cost of the project is approximately $15MM, with a land acquisition cost
of $89,000, a minimum of 1% or $160,000, whichever is greater, dedicated to Public Art
(incorporation on the site and/or around the site). The sources of the development include the
following:
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Equity $10.6MM
- City HOME Grant Funds $300,000*
- Permanent Mortgage $4.05MM
- Deferred Developer Fee $100k
*previously awarded in Q4 2020, however must reapply due to project location, unit mix, and funding revisions
Expected Project Based Tax Increase: $63,600/year
Estimated Property Value at completion: $3,009,200 as restricted/$13,567,081 inclusive
of LIHTC proceeds
Estimated Hard Construction Costs: $10.8MM,
Amount of Requested Public Funding: $300,000 of City HOME funds for purposes of
developing income restricted affordable housing
See attached preliminary project budget, operating proforma, unit mix, and letters of intent from
potential investor and lender for the project.
5. CAPACITY AND EXPERIENCE
The development team consists of a primary partnership between Wise Women Gathering Place
(WWGP) and BlueLine Development (BLD). BLD specializes in low-income housing and permanent
supportive housing financing and development in the western United States, using low-income
housing tax credits, tax exempt bonds, HOME Partnership Program Funds, Affordable Housing
Program funds (AHP), Housing Trust Funds (HTF), Tax Increment Financing (TIF), RD, RAD, NAHASDA,
and other regional and national funding programs. BlueLine Development’s mission is to help
communities find solutions to the ever-growing problem of affordable housing. With that in mind,
BlueLine, started in 2011 by Kelly Gill and Nate Richmond, is a fourteen-person team with decades
of experience with Low Income Tax Credit, affordable multi-family housing, and working with native
organizations to build housing. Beyond this, BlueLine’s focus on forming lasting, productive
partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and housing authorities looking to expand
affordable housing stock in their communities has led to over 40 completed deals.
The goal of each development is to provide a comfortable, healthy home to those who need it
most. Each project is as unique as the tenants who will inhabit the finished housing which is why
BlueLine not only taps into years of experience with established financial programs but also
concentrates on creative funding solutions customized to specific, local needs. Please see attached
for additional BlueLine Development company information, related experience, and personnel
resumes.
1100 Block E. Walnut St.
WWGP & BLD Proposal
Regarding capacity, BLD is uniquely suited and staffed to ensure every project is a success. The
Development teams consist of a Development Manager and/or Project Manager, who are the lead
on day-to-day management of the projects, from applications, design, construction, through
stabilization. Each Development Team focuses on select geographic regions and/or project types –
allowing them to be extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the local jurisdictions, funding
requirements/restrictions, and community partners, all to ensure successful implementation of the
project. The Director of Development globally oversees the implementation of the projects along
with working with organizations to provide guidance on project types and locations. For Edge of
Woods Place the BLD team consists of the Christian Pritchett (Director of Development) and Ashley
Grant (Development Manager); who together have decades worth of experience in affordable
housing development. With the current workload of the BLD team, the proposed project is one of
(4) active projects in various stages (construction, due diligence, application, etc.), therefore BLD
staff capacity is sufficient to implement the project in below time frame:

Expanding beyond the core development team, the project team consists of other organizations and
personnel who are leading experts in implementing and operating supportive and affordable
housing, including Beaux Simone Consulting, Shopworks Architecture, and BlueLine Property
Management Company.
1100 Block E. Walnut St.
WWGP & BLD Proposal
Beaux Simone Consulting has been selected as the Supportive Housing consultant for the project
and will be working closely with Wise Women Gathering Place to further their services, along with
guiding partnerships with other local service-oriented organizations. Beaux Simone Consulting
offers technical assistance (TA) to organizations and communities interested in developing
supportive housing. This includes helping organizations with a needs assessment, project concept
development, capacity building, fundraising, responding to RFPs, writing applications and bringing
the right partners to the table in order to assemble a strong development team that leads to the
development of high-quality supportive housing. BeauxSimone Consulting can see the project to
completion, throughout lease-up and beyond, as desired.
Shopworks Architecture was formed in 2012. The primary focus of the firm is urban infill
development with a particular interest in affordable housing, permanent supportive housing,
transit-oriented, and mixed-use development. Shopworks is a team of holistic collaborators, who
bring their considerable experience and enthusiasm to the project. They have 21 staff including 9
licensed architects, 2 interior designers, and 8 architectural designers. Shopworks has since become
a leader in the industry utilizing trauma informed design for the most vulnerable in the community,
along with extensive experience with projects utilizing LIHTC, HOME, CDBG, and/or HTF funding.
With having completed over (8) permanent supportive housing projects, in addition to (14)
properties that have incorporated services on-site, Shopworks is knowledgeable, experienced, and
committed to designing environments that strengthen communities and provide new opportunities,
joy, and health for the residents and surrounding neighborhoods.
BlueLine Property Management Company (BLPMC) will be responsible for the leasing, maintenance,
and overall operations of the property, once development is complete. BLPMC has extensive
experience in both management of affordable properties, along with permanent supportive housing
properties, and understands at the core of every property is knowing the population you are serving
and the associated barriers. The BLPMC team is knowledgeable in the restrictions and requirements
associated with affordable properties, including with funders and investors, but also balances these
requirements with the compassion, respect for the individual and community, and understands
what it takes to help the resident’s and ensure the property’s success in the long term.
Due to requirements for the proposed project funding sources, a formal RFP will be issued for the
procurement and selection of a General Contractor, with a priority given to the most qualified,
experienced, and availability to meet the overall project timeline.

BlueLine Development’s mission is to help communities find solutions to the ever-growing
problem of affordable housing. With that in mind, BlueLine, started in 2011 by Kelly Gill and
Nate Richmond, is an eleven-person team with decades of experience with Low Income Tax
Credit and affordable multi-family housing. Beyond this, BlueLine’s focus on forming lasting,
productive partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and housing authorities looking to
expand affordable housing stock in their communities has led to over 40 completed deals.
The goal of each development is to provide a comfortable, healthy home to those who need it
most. BlueLine has experience working in states in the Rocky Mountain and Northern Plains
regions with the Low Income Tax Credit Program, AHP funding, RD, HOME, NAHASDA, RAD,
HTF, and other funding sources while constantly seeking new and creative development
financing as that geographical footprint grows. Each project is as unique as the tenants who
will inhabit the finished housing which is why BlueLine not only taps into years of experience
with established financial programs but also concentrates on creative funding solutions
customized to specific, local needs.

Wise Women Gathering Place embraces innate
female wisdom as a “community midwifery”
approach to reclaim our tradition of healing our
community.
Nearly 30 years ago founder Alice Skenandore
invited women to gather around her kitchen table
to learn about midwifery. From those conversations her awareness of midwifery’s
cradle-to-grave nature grew; needs in our community were identified, solutions were
created, and healing began.
Today Wise Women Gathering Place’s work spans the whole of life, listening, and
responding to the requests of our community. At our core, we are about healing
relationships – with oneself and with others. We serve and grow community, find
solutions to mutual problems, and support each person who walks through our doors
by honoring their experience, their voice, and their choices. Through it all, WWGP is able
to live out our commitment to peace, respect, and belonging through skill building,
sharing of resources and caring support for our community.
WWGP listens and responds to the requests of our community with unique programming
for restoration with individual, confidential, and supportive advocacy. Together we
encourage growth through skill-building, courageously going deep within to find
change, healing the whole self, and working towards the coming together of community.
At our core, we are about relationships - with oneself and with others. Our services
are delivered in ways that are attentive to safety, whole-person centered, infused with
informed choice and free will, and considerate to the impact on the family.
Our programs and services include advocacy, prevention, and healing of domestic and
family violence, sexual assault, and homelessness. WWGP facilitates groups for women,
men, and youth. We strive to displace violence by planting seeds of wisdom. We are
rooted in the needs of our community. We come together to grow dynamic solutions
to systematic problems. At the heart of our work, we are honored to assist and support
each person who walks through our door.
We invite you to join us as we work for wholeness

Our Programs
Wise Women Gathering Place is focused on the relationships individuals have with themselves and
others, which is seen in our unique programming that includes:
Support & Healing
Our staff help individuals and groups come to terms with and move through experienced and
historical trauma in ways that are culturally relevant and whole-person centered. We do this through
support groups, housing assistance, and individual conversations and support.
Skill Building
Our Discovery Dating Program acknowledges that healthy relationships of all types are the heart
of a community, which is why this program is about so much more than dating. Developed by our
founder and executive director, this program is available to youth and adults who are interested in
uncovering their personal values, learning how to set and achieve personal goals, and developing
communication skills and healthy decision-making capabilities. We also offer training in Technology
of Participation (ToP), a methodology that provides groups with proven tools and practices that
transform the ways they collaborate, communicate, and engage their members.
Advocacy
Our advocacy work takes many shapes and forms and includes crisis response, safety planning,
legal and medical advocacy, and much more. We support individuals through some of life’s hardest
moments and offer them care and compassion as they learn how to advocate for themselves.

situated to respond to with our focus on walking alongside our community and connecting
individuals and families to the resources they needed. In 2020 we opened Green Bay’s first
safe parking space where we offer up to 20 families a safe place to sleep each night. We also
set in motion plans to build a homeless shelter for up to 80 people that will open in mid-2021.
Amidst these exciting new endeavors we offered over 12,500 services to individuals -
including access to food and shelter, legal advocacy, case management, referrals, emergency
financial assistance, and more. All of this was done within the safety of a trust-filled
conversation centered around authentic listening that honored the whole person.

Wise Women Gathering Place
Founder and Executive Director
Alice Skenandore, LCO Ojibway tribal member, midwife (27 years, 750+ babies born at home)
founded Wise Women Gathering Place (WWGP), a non-profit 501(c)3 center whose mission is
to facilitate a vibrant community, grounded in Peace, Respect & Belonging through skill-
building, sharing of knowledge & resources and caring support in 1998.
In 2001, Alice authored a unique relationship development tool named “Discovery Dating, it’s
not just about dating”. Discovery Dating helps the reader to explore the attitudes, behaviors
and beliefs of the people with whom they are developing relationships and considering life
impacting decisions.
The most distinctive aspect of Discovery Dating is that it holds open space for the reader to
discover and determine his/her own value judgments based on informed choice. The program
teaches a process for the user to gather facts and information over time and through
interaction with others and provides the reader with a way to define his/her own clear criteria
for relationships and healthy decision making.
Discovery Dating was evaluated over the years and the study was published in the 2 peer-
reviewed journals: Journal of Family Social Work, 2012 and Social Work, 2017. Alice presented
her work at the 2012 SAMHSA Health, Empowerment, and Resilience & Recovery Conference
on Behavioral Health for Women & Girls.
As founder and director of Wise Women Gathering Place, from WWGP’s kitchen table
beginnings, Alice has provided courageous and thoughtful leadership. From our grassroots
beginnings, Alice has strived to maintain our humanity is all phases of our development as an
organization. She has been called on by State coalitions and Governor’s councils to share her
perspectives as they work on solutions to end violence against women. She pushes the edges of
thought. “To truly end the violence, we need to support the healing of the hurt people who are
hurting people”. WWGP has grown to provide supportive services to over 800 community
members in a year, with a budget over $1,00,000 through over 12 grants and with 28
employees. Alice provides strong mentorship support for employees and community members
in a partnership way that recognizes the gifts of each person and the opportunity to learn at all
times. Her Midwifery approach of being with people as they go through their challenges,
reflecting to them their progress and successes is a core way Alice is changing the world.

Zoe’s work philosophy is that the client is the most important part of any

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Beaux means "Beautiful" in French; Simone is the feminine of Simon, and at its root in Hebrew, means "Harkening".
Beautiful Harkening aims to listen to - and truly hear - what communities want. For many, this is safe and secure housing for all people.
The people served in Supportive Housing buildings are the most important part of any project. That means we are direct and honest with our clients
about the most effective way to get projects done in a way that ensures those residents succeed. Our focus is on producing homes and delivering
outcomes. At the end of the day, we are doing this work to make our communities - and the people in them - safer, stronger and healthier.
WHAT WE DO

who will live in those units. Toolkits have been conducted in Minnesota, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. A first-ever Tribal Toolkit was held

chance of successful housing. We understand that in order to handle some of the bigger behaviors, we need
to be willing to meet the residents where they are at. Which is why we work with our staff to understand
some of the different modalities needed to successfully create a supportive community.
Staff receives ongoing training and coaching specific on best practices in working with this population.
Blueline Staff receives training on Trauma-Informed Care, Harm Reduction, Conflict Mediation, Roles and
Responsibilities, Eviction Prevention and Policy, and common terminology associated with PSH. This is in
addition to the training for the various compliance and legal requirements associated with property
management.
Eviction prevention is something the Blueline team has a wealth of experience in. Our creative approach to
resolving issues and helping residents stay in compliance with their lease is one of our strengths. We
understand that life is not always ‘black and white, but rather shades of grey’; and that is where our team
functions the best. The team can be creative and resourceful when trying to resolve issues with residents. An
example of this would be offering to sign a 'lease addendum to keep the military from spying’ with a veteran
who had violated their lease, by being disruptive to the community due to unresolved personal issues. The
resident was able to stabilize and no longer had outbursts because of the collective approach taken by all our
team members, not only Property Management.
Blueline staff is honored to be part of the journey for these individuals as they increase their life skills and
move past barriers that have kept them from living the life they intend to.

Re: Edge of the Woods Place
To Whom It May Concern:
As a counselor who has partnered with Wise Women Gathering Place I am writing with excitement and
anticipation for Edge of the Woods Place. I know there is a deep need in our community for a culturally
appropriate housing development for individuals who are a member of a federally-recognized tribe and/or
those who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
Baeten Counseling & Consultation Team is a practice consisting of eight licensed therapists who provide
comprehensive mental health and substance abuse outpatient therapy. We work with people on a variety of
matters including but not limited to, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, anger management, group therapy,
and trauma therapy. We believe in offering honest and direct communication, providing dignity and respect
to all, and come with training and experience especially in offering trauma informed care. As the Director of
this practice, I come with a long history of working with the Oneida Tribe from my work at Oneida Nation
Behavioral Health where I oversaw over 20 clinicians. In 2017 I left that role to move full time into my own
private practice, that continues to grow due to the need for counseling in our community.
Baeten Counseling & Consultation Team has a strong partnership with, and deep respect for, Wise Women
Gathering Place. We have been partnering together to identify funding and offer vouchers for therapy for
current clients of WWGP. Additionally, I come into the organization every Monday and present a wellness
project for staff, and ensuring that staff are being mindful of their own mental health in the difficult work they
do each and every day. Together we navigate billing of insurance or finding grant funding for this critical
counseling work for their clients.
At Edge of the Woods Place I will continue my partnership with the WWGP team. Please be in touch with me
with any additional questions you might have.
Sincerely,
Tina Marie Baeten, MSW, LCSW, MAC, CSAC, ICS
