SAHA AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRESERVATION AND EXPANSION GUIDING PRINCIPLES • SAHA recognizes the significant unmet need for housing affordable to lower income individuals and families in San Antonio; we will work actively to preserve and expand quality affordable housing required to fill this need • We will only pursue rehabilitation, acquisition or new construction projects that are consistent with our mission and strategic plan, and that fill a significant unmet community need either directly or indirectly • We will do all we can - within the constraints of our primarily housing focused charter – toassist able residents in making socio-economic progress so their families can ultimately sustain themselves without government support • We will create inclusive communities that are healthy and sustainable financially, socially, and environmentally (e.g., energy efficient units, transportation oriented development) • We will develop,coordinate, communicate, and implement our plans with each other and in partnership with residents as well as other public, private, and non-profit organizations to expand economic, educational, and job opportunities and create better transportation access. 27

SAHA AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRESERVATION AND EXPANSION GOALS • GOAL One: • To maintain existing levels of deeply subsidized housing and create new affordably priced housing through the acquisition, new construction and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing. • GOAL Two: • To increase the quality, value, marketability and energy efficiency of all properties in the SAHA portfolio. • GOAL Three: • Actively pursue emerging development and redevelopment opportunities that meet multiple community goals, such as economic and transit oriented development, while adding to the affordable housing infrastructure for San Antonio. • GOAL Four: • To integrate economic development and supportive service initiatives that will support residents and the surrounding neighborhoods in new and redeveloping projects. 28

SAHA AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRESERVATION AND EXPANSION STRATEGIES • SAHA will pursue all available financially viable strategies to preserve and expand affordable housing in the City of San Antonio including: • Rehabilitation and maintenance (preservation) of existing affordable housing • Redevelopment of existing affordable housing • Development of new affordable housing • Acquisition of affordable housing projects or land • Disposition of developed or undeveloped land/assets • Expansion of housing choice voucher program • Execution of strategies designed to help current residents gain socio-economic self sufficiency (so their place may be taken by a household in need) 29

DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT & ACQUISITIONS POLICY • Project Need and Location • SAHA will only lead (by building) and/or support (by investing) projects which fulfill a community need for affordable housing, either directly or indirectly (i.e., by generating significant capital and cash to help SAHA directly expand supply of needed affordable housing) • Community need must be determined and documented based on objective data e.g., vacancy rates at or below ‘typical markets in equilibrium’ (e.g., 5%), SAHA waiting list information, actual homeless counts • Project neighborhood must be stable or improving (e.g., Choice/Promise) or SAHA and partners must commit resources • Key focus on transit oriented development and on proximity to jobs • Housing Type, Characteristics and Mix • SAHA will adopt a 1-1 replacement policy for public housing redevelopment • 1-1 replacement is defined as the replacement of a demolished unit with a unit or housing choice voucher affordable at an equivalent level (i.e., based on ability to pay). Replacement units are not required to be located on the same site as previous units. 30

DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT & ACQUISITIONS POLICY (Contd.) • We will continue developing mixed income communities because we believe such communities are healthier and provide better economic and social opportunities and role models for extremely, very low, and low income residents to gain socio-economic self sufficiency • We will develop mixed income communities with at least 20 percent or more units affordable for extremely low income families and individuals • We will focus primarily on creating 1 and 2 bedroom family units, and on housing the homeless (including veterans) • Resident & Community Socio-Economic Support and Development • We will only develop properties located close to key amenities including schools, banking, grocery shopping, employers, and public transportation • Projects must maximize Section 3 resident employment opportunities, both short term and long term • We will increase business activities with minority and women owned businesses 31

DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT & ACQUISITIONS POLICY (Contd.) • Partner with residents and community based organizations to provide educational resources, job training, and supportive services to help families become economically stable • Partner with economic development organizations to create mixed use projects/mixed income developments and encourage/capture emerging economic development opportunities • Neighborhood Focus & Development Success Maximization • Invest in (and/or retain investments in) areas which are targeted for investment by other public, non-profit, or for-profit organizations (i.e., we won’t be the ‘lone ranger’ investing in a troubled neighborhood) • Pursue acquisition opportunities adjacent or close to planned or ongoing redevelopment activities as strategic and supporting investments or to help eliminate negative influences to the success of redevelopment efforts • Building Design, Standards and Compliance • All development/redevelopment projects must follow SAHA’s construction and material standards (to be established by the DNR team) including a green building standard to be selected by SAHA 32

DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT & ACQUISITIONS POLICY (Contd.) • Building design must be current and responsive to community needs/environment ; design must incorporate sustainable (not just green) concepts and practices • All development/redevelopment projects must include a replacement and compliance plan and funding set-aside upfront • All developments to adopt smoke-free policy • Resident and Community Input • Residents and community members must have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and in advance to the design of any planned projects • Financial Viability and Sustainability • A realistic long term financial projection must be completed, including both the construction period and the lease out period. Rent and lease out/vacancy assumptions must incorporate an analysis of competing current and planned projects in the neighborhood • SAHA must value the economic contribution of its tax exempt status by comparing financial cash flows relative to a taxable market rate project and capture project economics commensurate with this value contribution • All projects must meet SAHA’s underwriting criteria 33

DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT & ACQUISITIONS POLICY (Contd.) • Financial analysis of acquisitions must incorporate input of DNR team upfront including: • Evaluation of rehab/improvement needs to ensure the project is financially sustainable long term • Estimated cost of bringing project up to SAHA standards • Physical condition review to support financial projections 34

NEXT STEPS • All of the input received today will be incorporated into this document, as well as the written affordable housing preservation and expansion policy document to be approved by the BOC in February • Once this plan and policy are approved by the BOC, the team will shift their focus on developing detailed work plans by City Sector and/or portfolio • These plans will prioritize projects or areas for redevelopment, new development, acquisition, and disposition • The team’s work-planning process will incorporate analysis of the current value of assets, strategic potential of assets, and cost to retain/maintain assets • The DNR team will collaborate with the Section 8 and MTW teams to both maximize preservation and expansion of needed affordable housing and increase the focus on resident socio-economic success 36
