San Antonio Housing Trust Public Facility Agenda Item 4 Discussion and possible action to authorize the Four25 San Pedro transaction, including the execution of all documentation necessary to carry out the transaction; authorizing the purchase of the land for the transaction and the lease of such land for the transaction; and authorizing the acquisition of all the membership interest of and other matters in connection therewith Background: In February 2021, the PFC board approved a non‐binding inducement resolution for the 9% LIHTC project located at 425 San Pedro Avenue which initially was proposed as an 80‐unit development with permanent supportive housing. Due to low scores for the schools in the area, the development would not score well as a family development per Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). The development was reimagined as a non‐family development containing 80 one‐bedroom units. The Five Points Neighborhood Association opposed the redesign, and the TDHCA tax credit application was withdrawn. Summary: Since that time, the school rating has improved considerably, which will allow for a new 80‐unit 9% LIHTC development focused on families to be competitive in the state’s Qualified Allocation Plan. The development will consist of 41 two‐bedroom units and 39 three‐ bedroom units serving families with incomes at 30% to 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). The property will be both income and rent restricted based on family size and AMI of the occupants. The affordability restriction will remain in place for 40 years. Franklin Development and City representatives met with members of the Five Points Neighborhood Association to discuss proposed family‐focused supportive housing development. On December 22, 2022, the Five Points Neighborhood Association provided a letter of support. The pre‐application for a competitive 9% tax credit award was due on January 6, 2023. Given the PFC board previously approved the project, our strategic plan goals to create PSH, and the pre‐ application deadline associated with the QAP, I supported Franklin’s pre‐application submission listing the PFC as a partner pending formal board approval. The full LIHTC application materials will be due by the end of February. Anticipated Services In San Antonio, there is a growing number of families who are working but are unable to afford the necessities of housing, food, childcare, health care, and transportation are known as Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE). Twenty‐eight percent of Texas families meet those criteria. In Bexar County, 52% of households fall below ALICE thresholds. The Four25 will provide on‐site family focused supportive housing services through SAMMinistries who provided the preliminary supportive services and amenities package for the pre‐application submission. While it is still early in the process, the supportive services will aim to help residents remain stably housed through multi‐disciplined programs to help address physical health, mental health and substance abuse with access to available programs and support. Services will be flexible and unique to each resident. Supportive services are not required, but offered assertively, meaning case managers will continue to show up and check on residents on an on‐going basis. SAMM is anticipated to provide integrated and on the ground support with onsite case managers, food pantry to service meal needs, on site resources for continuation education, life skills workshops and financial literacy. This includes meeting spaces, and common amenity areas to facilitate all services on site. Residents have access to public transportation, grocery stores, parks, educational opportunities, and other neighborhood amenities common to all other residents. The supportive services anticipated to be provided are client‐centered, use a Trauma‐Informed approach, and operate within the principles of “Housing First” and “Harm Reduction.” These evidenced based practices are critical to productive work with this population, given that most of the residents have histories of trauma and victimization. No fees will be charged to any resident for any service provided. Financial Structure The development will be structured as a 9% LIHTC tax credit limited partnership with the PFC (related entity) serving as the general partner, and PFC owning the land and leasing it back to the partnership to preserve the real estate tax exemption. A Franklin Development related entity will provide the required guarantees and manage the asset. A to‐be‐determined investor will act as the limited partner and provide the tax credit equity. There will also need to be a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) possibly acting as a non‐managing member of our GP partnership. The full financing structure has not been finalized, but will likely include mortgage debt, 2017 City Bond proceeds, tax credit equity, fee waivers, and Texas Multi‐Family Development funds. The SAHTPFC will receive a portion of the development fee, cash flow, and sale proceeds (after the 15‐year initial compliance period). Until a HUB is selected and terms are negotiated, we don’t yet have the specific fee terms defined. However, they will be similar to other deals previously negotiated. Recommendation: Staff recommends moving this item to the full board for a PFC Inducement Resolution to support the 9% LIHTC application.

Background: In April 2021, the PFC partnership with Integrated Realty Group closed financing on the Preserve at Billy Mitchell (Port), a 384‐unit garden style multi‐family rehabilitation using a combination of construction loan debt and historic tax credit equity. Since this time, the development project encountered the following challenges: ‐ Construction delays due to supply chain and material shortages ‐ Vandalism to renovated and partially renovated units ‐ Several fires caused by unauthorized occupants resulted in the loss of 24 units ‐ Escalating construction financing variable interest rates The developer paused rehabilitation work on the project. On October 21, the PFC board authorized an adjustment to the project affordability unit mix considering the project’s challenges. Under the revised affordability stratification, 51% of the units will meet the city’s definition of affordability. AMI Stratification 30% 50% 60% 70% 100% Total Original 19 58 0 307 0 384 Revised 20 35 131 0 182 368* *16 units were lost to fires and cannot be rebuilt due to historical designation Issue In December 2022, the developer informed us in December that they were working with IBC Bank/42 Equity (the construction lender and tax credit purchaser) to transfer their interest to a new development partner who had the financial capacity and expertise to complete the project. The new development partner is Brass Realty, LLC (Brass) which is owned by Rick Rodriquez. Brass is a San Antonio based real estate investment and management firm that has been in existence since 1996. Their portfolio consists of office buildings and multifamily developments. The multifamily portfolio consists of 11 properties containing 3,181 units which were either newly constructed or acquired and rehabilitated. Most of these properties are affordable housing developments. Staff and our legal counsel have participated in several calls with our former development partner and the Brass team and their attorney. We have obtained credit information on Rick Rodriquez and confirmed the proposed new financing structure with IBC Bank, which will extend the term of the existing construction loan by 3 years and provide additional debt of $6,619,000 to complete the rehabilitation of the project. Additionally, Brass has negotiated a more competitive interest rate with the lender due to the guarantees he brings to the deal. Staff has also reviewed the following information submitted by the Brass team: 1. Schedule to complete the renovations 2. Monthly and annual pro‐forma operating projections 3. Projections for securing a permanent mortgage upon completion of renovations and lease up/stabilization of occupancy Financial Structure To complete the project, the following modifications will need to be made to the original deal terms: 1. Additional debt of $6,619,000 provided by IBC bank at a new lower interest rate 2. Extension of the existing $44,000,000 construction loan with a new lower interest rate 3. Payment of a $1,206,000 preferred return to Brass Realty which will prioritize payment prior to development fee and cash flow owed to the PFC. The projections indicate the following key financial milestones: 1. Completion of building and common area renovations by June 2023 2. Lease up and stabilization of the property by January 2024 3. Conversion to permanent financing by March 2024 Rick Rodriguez will be assuming the guarantees that were provided by the original development partner. However, the interest rate on the existing debt and new debt will be at a lower interest rate. Based on the revised project timeline, the reduced interest rate on the construction loan and new loan will save the partnership approximately $1,349,000 which more than offsets the $1,206,000 preferred return payment to Brass. However, to ensure that the key financial milestones are met, Brass has agreed that no preferred return payments will be made until the following events occur: 1. Renovations are completed and certificates of occupancy have been issued by the city for all buildings. 2. Occupancy is stabilized at 90% for ninety consecutive days 3. A firm commitment is issued for permanent financing of at least $44,000,000 4. Confirmation of the additional historical tax credit allocation of $4,560,000 Additionally, once the preferred return has been fully paid and the permanent financing is in place, Brass has agreed to consult with PFC to review annual operating budgets, and annual rental increases proposed for existing residents occupying affordable units. The PFC is still receiving the original $1,550,000 in deferred development fees (after preferred) paid out from 2025‐2027 and projected cash flow of $9,382,622 payable from 2027‐2037. The PFC believes these terms will allow for the completion of the 368‐unit affordable housing development while preserving the long‐term affordability and financial viability of the project Recommendation Staff recommends approving an amendment to our agreements to reflect the above negotiated terms.

San Antonio Housing Trust Public Facility Agenda Item 7 Summary: SAHT has aligned its five‐year strategic plan with the City of San Antonio’s Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP) which seek to build or preserve over 28,000 affordable homes over the next 10 years. The SAHT five‐year strategic plan, adopted effective October 1, 2023 established six objectives with two objectives focusing on the creation and preservation of affordable rental housing described as follows: MF Rental New Construction To achieve our new construction goal of providing additional housing opportunities for low‐ and moderate‐income families, the Trust agreed in our five‐year plan to prioritize the creation of new multifamily rental housing by producing: New Construction • New LIHTC developments 5 Year SAHT Target • Inclusive mixed‐income housing to be owned by SAHT 60% AMI 4,950 • Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) 50% AMI 375 • Permanently Affordable Multifamily Land Trust with 30% AMI 600 non‐profits PSH 300 Our supporting strategies for this objective focus on: Units 6,225 1. adopting the City of San Antonio’s Displacement Impact Tool to assess potential impacts to nearby residents at risk of displacement, and incorporate it into the SAHT’s final Tax Credit Development Criteria, 2. partnering with developers to create LIHTC projects that serve the targeted populations and require lower developer fee splits from nonprofit partners so they may increase their earnings to continue their missions, 3. engaging with Continuum of Care nonprofit providers to identify PSH development partners and initiate predevelopment efforts, 4. maintaining SAHT cash resources to fund operating and supportive services reserves for PSH, 5. establishing multifamily new construction criteria that promote site selection, equity, digital access, tenant protections, increased accessibility, universal design, and sustainability features. 6. prioritize the use of publicly owned land to build affordable housing, 7. identify and acquire property suitable for future redevelopment including SAHT‐owned inclusive housing, multifamily land trusts, or PSH. MF Rental Preservation To achieve its goal of continuing housing opportunities for low‐ and moderate‐income families, the Trust will prioritize the preservation of existing multifamily rental housing by:  Ensuring low‐income housing restrictions are either Preservation placed or remain in place 5 Year SAHT Target  Preserving long‐term housing affordability by 80% AMI 435 extending restrictions 60% AMI 2,850  Extending the life of existing structures, including 50% AMI 113 safety, accessibility, sustainability, and climate 30% AMI 313 resiliency upgrades Units 3,711 Our supporting strategies for this objective focus on: 1. monitoring LIHTC properties in San Antonio to assess, prioritize, and develop preservation plans for at‐risk properties with expiring land use restrictions or covenants. 2. partnering with nonprofit developers to acquire and preserve multiple smaller properties that may not be financially viable as a 4% LIHTC on their own but can be pooled into a single financing package. 3. partnering with developers to acquire and rehabilitate multifamily rental properties under PFC ownership for permanent affordability. This may include adding or extending affordability restrictions on SAHT‐financed properties. 4. provide gap financing to support the preservation of multifamily rental developments by affordable housing partners, including Opportunity Home, focusing on affordable to households, prioritizing those with incomes from < 30% AMI to 80% AMI. 5. supporting NHSD to increase preservation of housing affordable to households with income at or below 30% AMI by increasing City support and establishing a dedicated revenue source for gap financing. 6. leveraging SAHT funding for accessibility, universal design, sustainability, and/or climate resiliency grants to multifamily rental properties serving targeted populations that are aligned with the SA Climate Ready goals and social determinants of health goals Issue This past summer, the SAHT board elected not to move forward on the proposed LIHTC multi‐ family policy. The board wanted time to consider additional policy options regarding displacement, transportation, and equity for the next 4% bond cycle in 2024. However, in the meantime, we anticipate receiving inquiries regarding the use of conventionally financed structures which require a substantial amount of equity (non‐tax credit) seeking market returns. Previous SAHT PFC boards have approved such structured projects, however, the projects were subject to scrutiny due to issues surrounding displacement, inadequate rent and income limits, lack of affordability as defined by the City of San Antonio, as well as lower return expectations for the Housing Trust PFC. The conventional financing structures that we were able to previously negotiate do not appear to be in line with current policy goals set forth in our Five Year Strategic Plan. Additionally, I anticipate there to be changes made to the PFC program at the state level, which could require SAHT to adjust our approach to these tax‐exempt structures. There are also alternatives that may be able to be considered by conventionally financed developers that do not provide 100% tax exemptions for 55–99‐year periods, including other PFCs, city or county tax rebate programs, HUD financing which lowers the requirement on a project, and other programs which may be forthcoming by the federal government in terms of promoting increased sustainability. Recommendation While this is only a briefing for board discussion, staff recommends continuing our policy discussions with respect to displacement, transportation, equity, and long‐term affordability needs but not only in the context of a LIHTC Policy, but of a broader Multifamily Policy.
