  6. Need Determined by Actual Data and Ranks • Formula used to measure need and determine possible direct allocations down to minimum grant size of $500,000 • Regional or Joint applications encouraged • Remaining funds will be placed in a “flexible pool” to be administered by the Georgia Housing Finance Agency (GHFA) • Entitlement needs adjusted by offset from previous HUD allocation

  7. State Action Plan Priorities • Priority within Low-, Moderate- and Middle-Income Areas (see map) • Each Sub-Recipient must use at least 25% of their funds to assist those at or below 50% of Area Median Income (AMI)…(rental) • Properties must be purchased at an overall discount of 15% as verified by an appraisal made within 60 days of purchase.

  8. State Action Plan Priorities • Continued Affordability – DCA proposes to adopt the HOME program standards at 24 CFR 92.252(a), (c), (e) and (f), and 92.254 to be in compliance with HUD’s affordability standard • Program income to be managed with existing CDBG Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) policies and local reporting procedures

  9. Eligible Activities • Establish financing mechanisms for purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed properties; • Purchase and rehab residential properties that have been abandoned or foreclosed upon, in order to sell, rent, or redevelop such properties; • Establish land banks for homes that have been foreclosed upon; • Demolish blighted structures; and • Redevelop demolished or vacant properties.

  10. Timelines • Action Plan published 11/13/2008 • NOFA to be announced December 1, 2008 • Applications for Direct Allocation must be received by January 15, 2009 • DCA expects HUD approval of its Plan by December 31, 2008 • DCA announces Direct Allocation awards on or about February 20, 2009 • 18 months (from HUD Plan approval) to “use” funds

  11. Direct Allocation Application Rating • Prioritization of assistance to area(s) of highest and greatest need • Administrative capacity (understanding and history of successfully completing CDBG and HERA type activities) • Implementation plan with specific eligible activities, and documentation of ability to implement activities quickly

  12. Direct Allocation Application Rating • Congruence between DCA’s initial proposed allocation, funds requested through the local proposal, and the activities chosen to address the needs described • Adequacy of local proposal to ensure at least 25% of proposed allocation benefit persons below 50% of AMI • Clear readiness to proceed with specific activities

  13. Direct Allocation Application Rating • The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed activities • Demonstrated understanding of applicable laws and regulations • Description of implementation partnerships (if any) and documentation of partner roles and agreements • Needed agreements (e.g. options, contracts, leases, etc.) are in place and ready to implement.

  14. Flexible Pool • $15,303,743* • NSP funds awarded in flexible pool must be used in conjunction with these programs: • Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program • Permanent Supportive Housing Program • GHFA/NSP Blight Program • RFP to award funds to be issued in January 2009 * Initial allocation is approximate and subject to change

  15.
