Subject: Authorize a Professional Services Agreement with Impact Northwest for service provision of the Congregate Housing Services Program
Resolution 17-11-01
The Board of Commissioners is requested to authorize Home Forward to enter into a contract with Impact Northwest for service delivery of the Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP). Home Forward’s administration of CHSP aligns with the One Resource section of the Strategic Plan: There are deeper connections and continuity between the type of housing assistance we provide that allow us to meet the evolving needs of the people we serve. ISSUE The federal Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP) provides meals and other supportive services to elderly residents and residents with disabilities. Participants receive various services and are provided at least one hot meal per day in a group setting with a goal of supporting and assisting these populations in maintaining independent living. Since 2006, Impact NW has provided contracted CHSP services for some of Home Forward’s most vulnerable residents who are elderly and/or living with a disability. These services include daily meals, on-site case management, housekeeping and laundry
Home Forward Board of Commissioners November 2017

services, bathing assistance, medication reminders, and other supports that help individuals who are experiencing frailty or living with a disability to live independently for as long as possible. Resolution 17-11-01 authorizes Home Forward to enter into a three-year professional services contract with Impact NW in the amount of $900,0001 annually, beginning January 1, 2018. The contract provides Congregate Housing Services for residents who qualify at Dahlke Manor, Grace Peck Terrace, Holgate House, Rosenbaum Plaza and Unthank Plaza. Funding for the CHSP contract comes from an annual Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant, from the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) in the form of Medicaid reimbursements, and from fees collected from participants of the program. The contract awarded in 2006 covered a five-year period with an option for the contractor to renew for an additional five-year period. The combined total of ten years for this contract expires on December 31, 2017, so Home Forward opened the contract up to a competitive process. A formal Request for Proposal was issued on August 14, 2017 to select qualified service providers from the area. Multiple organizations expressed interest and attended the Request for Proposal Pre-Proposal meeting on August 25, 2017. The Request for Proposal closed on September 13, 2017 and Home Forward received one proposal from Impact Northwest. To ensure we fully capture the successes of the program, the plan moving forward is to work with Impact Northwest in implementing additional benchmarks and service outcomes, which will continue to ensure customer satisfaction, program compliance, and alignment with our strategic plan. HUD and Aging Disability and Veteran Services for Multnomah County, our funding partners, have maintained ongoing support for the Congregate Housing Services Program so with continued funding provided through these relationships, and the collection of participant fees, we expect to administer the program within our approved budget.
1 This is the amount currently known to Home Forward; it is expected to vary slightly based on grant awards and contributions from other funding sources.

RESOLUTION 17-11-01 AUTHORIZES HOME FORWARD TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH IMPACT NW TO PROVIDE CONGREGATE HOUSING SERVICES WHEREAS, Home Forward of Portland, Oregon has solicited and received proposals for contracting with an agency to provide congregate housing services; and WHEREAS, one proposal was received and evaluated in compliance with Home Forward’s Public Contracting Rules; and WHEREAS, the proposing contracting agency, Impact NW, was chosen in compliance with Home Forward’s Public Contracting Rules; and WHEREAS, a professional services contractual agreement in excess of $100,000 requires Board approval prior to execution by the Executive Director; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners of Home Forward, acting as the Contract Review Board, authorizes the Executive Director to execute a professional services agreement with Impact NW for the provision of congregate housing services in an amount of approximately $900,000 annually for a duration of three years, dependent upon external funding levels, the contractor’s successful performance and continued funding.

To: Board of Commissioners
From: Peter Beyer, Chief Financial Officer 503.802.8538 Kandy Sage, Controller 503.802.8585
Date: November 21, 2017
Subject: Authorize Contract with Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (MGO) for Financial Audit Services
Resolution 17-11-02
The Board of Commissioners is specifically requested to approve a contract with Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP to provide annual financial audit services to the Agency for fiscal years ending March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018. ISSUE On November 12, 2010, Home Forward (HF) contracted with MGO to perform financial audit services for a period of three years by way of a competitive proposal process. The contract was then extended twice as allowed per the original agreement, for a period of another four years to perform audit services through fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. Based on the successful performance of MGO over the last seven years and the firm’s technical familiarity with Home Forward and its accounting and business process, staff is recommending a new contract with MGO for a period of another two years. This will assist HF accounting staff with the implementation of HF’s fiscal year-end to a calendar year for the Fiscal Years of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018 audit reports. Because the nature of this work is not project-driven but will benefit from an ongoing, long-term relationship of knowledge and trust, HF will utilize the new Public Contacting Rules and Procedures, contract rule 46-0340, to secure this procurement by way of direct negotiation. Once this two year contract is complete, it is staff’s intention to issue a formal
Home Forward Board of Commissioners November 2017
11
Request for proposal (RFP) for the audit services for a five-year term beginning in Fiscal Year 2019. Home Forward has received a fee proposal from MGO for services which includes a modest 3% increase over the next two years from the Fiscal Year 2017 audit services fee. Staff believes that these fees are reasonable and remain competitive with the market for these services. The two year extension of the MGO contract will remain in effect through September 30, 2019. This will allow time for HF to present the final audit report for fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 at the June 2019 Board of Commissioners meeting for BOC approval and to submit the final submission of our FDS Report to HUD by September 30, 2019. During the November 8, 2017 meeting, the Audit and Finance Committee was informed of this approach to procure audit services for Fiscal Years March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018. The proposed audit fees are:
Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2018 = $210,185 Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2018 = $216,490
The initial year cost is an increase of approximately $6,120 from the March 31, 2017 audit. Once this two year contract is completed, it is staff’s intention to issue a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for the audit services for Fiscal Year December 31, 2019. Engaging MGO for another two years will allow accounting staff to focus its efforts on the implementation of a change in fiscal year-end without having to provide a new audit firm with initial year orientation to Home Forward’s systems, operations and accounting records. Staff believes that having MGO’s considerable expertise with Home Forward and governmental entities along with the local accounting firm presence of Perkins & Co., will provide a valuable resource to Home Forward management and Board to ensure that Home Forward’s financial activity and federal programs are in compliance with accounting standards and federal program requirements.

RESOLUTION 17-11-02
RESOLUTION 17-11-02 AUTHORIZES APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH MACIAS GINI & O’CONNELL LLP FOR FINANCIAL AUDIT SERVICES
WHEREAS, Home Forward of Portland, Oregon requires financial audit services in compliance with state and federal law; WHEREAS, Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP has performed successful audit services for Home Forward over a period of seven years and has technical familiarity with Home Forward and its accounting and business processes; WHEREAS, Home Forward’s contract and procurement rules allow for selection by negotiation for certain personal service contractors whose successful work depends on an on-going, long-term relationship based on knowledge and trust; WHEREAS, approval by the Board of Commissioners of Home Forward is required prior to execution of contracts or amendments exceeding $100,000.00; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: that the Board of Commissioners of Home Forward authorizes the execution of a contract with Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP to service as independent auditors and to audit the financial statements as of and for the years ending March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018.

Subject: Authorization to Acquire the Limited Partner’s interest in Fountain Place Apartments Limited Partnership, Transfer the Property to Home Forward
Resolution 17-11-03
Home Forward seeks to acquire full ownership of Fountain Place Apartments, currently held in a tax credit partnership. This approach is consistent with the one portfolio initiative of the strategic plan and supports actions to transition properties held in tax credit partnerships to Home Forward ownership. The Board of Commissioners is requested to authorize one or both of the following scenarios: (1) the acquisition of Key Community Development Corporation's interest in Fountain Place Apartments Limited Partnership, and if allowed by all parties; (2) the transfer of ownership of Fountain Place Apartments from the Partnership to Home Forward. US Bank is currently only allowing the transfer of the limited partner interest, not the ownership transfer to Home Forward. We are working with our attorney to persuade US Bank to agree to the ownership transfer. Regardless, the transfer includes one or more of the following actions:
The execution of documents necessary to acquire Key Community Development Corporation’s interest in Fountain Place Apartments Limited Partnership for one dollar ($1.00);
The execution of documents necessary to dissolve the Partnership and transfer its assets to Home Forward;
Home Forward Board of Commissioners November 2017

The execution of assignment, assumption and subordination documents relating to US Bank, Portland Housing Bureau (PHB), Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) and other liens or regulations tied to the property;
The execution of any other documents deemed necessary by our counsel to complete this transaction for either scenario.
Home Forward has engaged the law firm Kantor Taylor to assist with this transaction. We have obtained consent to this transfer from Key Bank. ISSUE In 2002, Home Forward entered into a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Partnership to acquire and conduct minor rehab on Fountain Place Apartments, an 80-unit property located at 929 SW Salmon Street in Downtown Portland. The property consists of 62 studios, 15 one-bedroom, and three two-bedroom apartments. We utilized a combination of tax credit equity, a loan from US Bank, and funding from the Portland Housing Bureau to finance the development. In exchange for the tax credit equity, the Partnership provided Key Bank with 10 years of tax credits and tax losses. 2017 is the end of the 15-year LIHTC compliance period when Key Bank will exit the Partnership and Home Forward has the opportunity to become sole owner. Home Forward will purchase Key Bank’s interest for assumption of debt plus taxes and legal fees. In this case, we negotiated no exit taxes owed to Key Bank. Fountain Place Apartments is a 106-year old, six story midrise apartment community, reserved for households with incomes between 30% and 80% of area median income. The property includes 20 units with project based rental assistance. The property has a contract with Giving Tree to provide resident services and social services activities for residents. Two other service agencies partner with Fountain Place: Northwest Pilot Project (NWPP) and Transition Projects, Inc. (TPI). NWPP refers homeless, low income, and disabled seniors to Fountain Place, and receives a preference for 10 of the 20 PBV units. TPI provides individuals with the services, resources, and tools they need to end their homelessness, secure housing, and maintain that housing, and receives a preference for the other 10 PBV units. Fountain Place will be responsible for legal fees associated with this transfer which are estimated to cost around $10,000. Fountain Place will pay legal fees from operating cash.

Fountain Place recently began to achieve positive cash flow within the past two years and was able to pay off accrued General Partner (GP) fees due to Home Forward in the amount of $65,000. After the close of this transaction, Home Forward can continue to expect GP Fees from the property, although amounts surpassing GP Fees will be deposited into the reserve accounts to pay for substantial capital needs. We recommend Home Forward acts on its initial goal when it entered into the Partnership, which was to own the property outright. The 80 units at this property are set aside for individuals and families earning a maximum income between 30% and 80% of area median income. By taking ownership of this property, we would be preserving this valuable resource for the community. In addition to dissolution of the tax credit partnership, Home Forward will continue to seek full ownership of the premises as well.

Subject: Authorization to Acquire the Limited Partner’s interest in Gateway Park Apartments Limited Partnership and Transfer the Property to Home Forward
Resolution 17-11-04
Home Forward seeks to acquire full ownership of Gateway Park Apartments, currently held in a tax credit partnership. This approach is consistent with the one portfolio initiative of the strategic plan and supports actions to transition properties held in tax credit partnerships to Home Forward ownership. The Board of Commissioners is requested to authorize: (1) the acquisition of Key Community Development Corporation's (“KCDC”) interest in Gateway Park Apartments Limited Partnership; and (2) the transfer of ownership of Gateway Park Apartments from the Partnership to Home Forward. This includes the following actions:
The execution of documents necessary to acquire KCDC’s interest in Gateway Park Apartments Limited Partnership in exchange for the payment of a nominal fee (estimated to be $1.00);
The execution of documents necessary to dissolve the Partnership and transfer its assets to Home Forward;
The execution of assignment, assumption and subordination documents relating to Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) and any other liens or regulations tied to the property;

The execution of any other documents deemed necessary by our counsel to complete this transaction.
Home Forward has engaged the law firm Kantor Taylor to assist with this transaction. We have obtained consent to this transfer from KCDC. ISSUE In 2002, Home Forward entered into a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Partnership to acquire and conduct minor rehab on Gateway Park Apartments, a 144-unit property located at 510 NE 100th Avenue, in Portland. The property consists of 61 one-bedroom, 47 two-bedroom, and 36 three-bedroom apartments. Gateway Park Apartments is a 54-year old, garden style community consisting of 12 two-story buildings, serving households with incomes between 50% and 60% of area median income. We utilized a combination of tax credit equity and a risk share bond loan from OHCS to finance the acquisition. In exchange for the tax credit equity, the Partnership provided KCDC with 10 years of tax credits and tax losses. 2017 is the end of the 15-year LIHTC compliance period when KCDC is expected to exit the Partnership and Home Forward will become the sole owner of the property. Home Forward will purchase KCDC’s limited partnership interest in exchange for assumption of debt plus taxes and legal fees. In this case, we negotiated no exit taxes owed to KCDC. Gateway Park will be responsible for legal fees associated with this transfer which are estimated to be $10,000. Gateway Park will pay legal fees from operating cash or reserves. Per the Partnership Agreement, KCDC is entitled to a cash flow distribution from 2016 operations as well as accrued limited partner fees, which are expected to be approximately $35,000. After the close of this transaction, Home Forward will continue to receive a yearly asset management fee from the property, although any cash flow after the asset management fees will be placed in the property’s reserve account to pay for anticipated future capital needs. A capital needs assessment (CNA) is currently in process, being prepared by Marsha Steffan. Due to the age of the property and the fact that several building systems (plumbing, roof, foundations) are at the end of their useful life, we anticipate the report will
Home Forward Board of Commissioners November 2017

show significant immediate capital needs. Though the capital needs are great, exiting the partnership allows for a future re-syndication to preserve this asset for the Portland community. A larger preservation plan is underway and additional funds will be necessary. Gateway Park has approximately $225,000 in operating reserves and $185,000 in replacement reserves on hand.

MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Tim Collier, Director of Communications
503.802.8432
Date: November 21, 2017
Subject: FY2018 Draft Moving to Work (MTW) Amendment
The purpose of this memo is to present Home Forward’s draft amendment to our FY2018 Moving to Work (MTW) Plan to the board of commissioners and to provide an opportunity for public comment on the draft amendment, which can be found on the Home Forward website at: http://www.homeforward.org/home-forward/moving-to-work. No board action is required at this time. ISSUE Home Forward’s designation as an MTW agency affords us regulatory relief in the administration of Section 8 and public housing funds so long as all activities that use MTW authority support at least one of three MTW objectives: (1) reduce costs and increase efficiencies, (2) increase housing choice for low-income families and, (3) provide incentives to families to become economically self-sufficient. The draft MTW amendment was posted on Home Forward’s website on October 18, 2017, and was published in the public notice section of the Oregonian on November 1, 8 and 15, 2017. Approval for the amendment will be requested at the December 19, 2017 Board of Commissioners meeting. Meanwhile, in compliance with the required amendment process for the Moving to Work Plan, Home Forward must hold a public hearing to solicit feedback on this proposal. AMENDMENT OF THE MOVING TO WORK PLAN Section D(7)(b) of Attachment C to the Amended and Restated Moving to Work agreement establishes that Home Forward “is authorized to establish a reasonable competitive process or utilize an existing local competitive process for project-basing leased housing
Home Forward Board of Commissioners November 2017

assistance…” To ensure that the City of Portland Housing Bond project-based voucher assignments comply with this process, Home Forward has proposed to designate the voter-approved affordable housing general obligation bond ballot measures as a competitive process. This is an additional waiver of 24 CFR 983.51, which sets forth methods by which local public housing authorities must choose project-based voucher proposals.
In Oregon, local jurisdictions may issue general obligation bonds. These bonds are secured by tax levies and provide communities with access to debt at favorable interest rates. Unlike other states, however, the Oregon constitution has language that prohibits jurisdictions from raising money to aid parties other than the issuing jurisdiction. In other words, in the State of Oregon, jurisdictions may only use general obligation bonds for capital costs incurred and owned by the issuing jurisdiction.
Home Forward, as a Moving to Work agency, is granted the ability to support such local housing programs. This includes collaborating with local jurisdictions to provide affordable housing and services for low income and/or disabled households in our community. From time to time, local jurisdictions may issue general obligation bonds to acquire, develop and rehabilitate land and/or properties for affordable housing. Given that local jurisdictions may be the only owner of such housing when using general obligation bonds, for this specific financing situation, Home Forward is defining the ballot initiative as a competitive process. Ultimately, the local jurisdiction is competing for the use of vouchers and is seeking authorization from voters. If the voters elect to pass such a ballot measure, it is done so with the public’s knowledge that the sole owner of these properties must be the jurisdiction issuing the bonds. Home Forward will have permission to allocate project-based vouchers to such general obligation bond funded properties to ensure housing opportunities for very low- and extremely low-income families. Home Forward will measure the number of units made available to members of the community through utilization of this designation. Home Forward looks forward to soliciting public feedback on this proposed amendment.

MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Michael Buonocore, Executive Director 503.802.8423
Date: November 21, 2017
Subject: Authorize Organizational Values Resolution 17-11-05
The board of commissioners is requested to adopt a new set of organizational values, attached to this memo. Background A year ago, Home Forward embarked on a process to revisit our organizational values. Our existing values were created several years before the agency rebranded, and were no longer actively used as a filter for making decisions or defining our culture. In addition, the existing values are so vaguely worded, they provide very little guidance for how we will demonstrate or uphold them. Finally, as our strategic plan drives us to do more to advance equity and racial justice, taking the time to anchor that work in our values will allow it to grow deeper, more durable roots. Over the course of the past year, we have built this set of draft values through the following steps:
An all-agency staff meeting on the topic, followed by foundational conversations with the board of commissioners, the Resident Advisory Committee, individual department meetings and an electronic survey to the community through our e-letter, which includes partners, residents and other interested citizens.
A discussion about the first draft of the values with the board and agency directors at the March 2017 board retreat. A new draft was created based on this feedback
Home Forward Board of Commissioners November 2017
32
2
and presented to the full staff at a second all-agency meeting in April. Refinements were made and presented to the Resident Advisory Committee in the spring, and a final set of small edits were made in response to their input.
The long version of the draft values has been piloted as part of a new staff orientation, which includes an hour-long discussion with the executive director on this topic with all incoming employees.
At our October 4, 2017 work session, we reviewed the draft values with the board and made one final edit at the suggestion of Chair Smith, adding “veterans” to the list of populations for whom we express support. We have also worked to brand the values, and will have the newly designed versions to show you at the meeting.
A cross-organizational working group has been convened by Kitty Miller, Chief Administrative Officer, to begin planning for implementation strategies and outcome measurement.
We appreciate the board’s engagement and guidance in this process, and we look forward to moving the organizational values into the agency and the community.

HOME FORWARD ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES – DRAFT
Housing is at the core of what we do and people are the reason it matters.
We show respect for the people we serve and each other through patience,
compassion and a belief that we’re all doing our best.
Our mission is to safely house thousands of families in our community. Our
job is to meet each person in front of us with our full attention and the best
of ourselves.
We’re a team of many teams, striving together for excellence.
We’re a group of staff and volunteers that loves working together, across
boundaries of roles, titles and departments. We take time to build
relationships and support each other, because we know that no one
succeeds alone in the work we do.
Our jurisdictions, nonprofits and funders are essential partners. We nurture
collaboration with them and strive for progress at a scale that can only be
made together.
We do our work in support of systemic change for racial and social justice.
People in poverty and communities of color face deep, systemic inequities.
Doing our part to improve these means we invest ongoing time and energy
to learn about them. As we build skills and knowledge, we are honest with
ourselves about how we participate in these injustices and we work to
correct them.
We use our voice to bring attention to these issues and their impact on our
community, and advocate for change at a broad scale.
We work to build and sustain an agency that reflects our diverse community
at all levels of Home Forward, especially at the highest positions of power
and influence.
The deepest impacts and most enduring change happen when systems that
affect our families – housing, education, health and mental health care,
criminal justice, workforce development and others – change in ways that
remove entrenched, institutionalized barriers to peoples’ success and well-
being. We work towards this kind of change.
The people who experience injustices and inequities have the wisdom to
bring about the change that is needed. We listen to them.
We are stewards of public resources and champions for those who need them.
The resources under our stewardship don’t belong to us, they belong to the
community. We have an obligation to make big decisions collaboratively
and transparently, to make public information available and easy to
understand, and to admit when we make mistakes.
Our housing is home to the people it serves, and we constantly work to
make sure it stays safe and welcoming for decades to come.
We serve those who are economically vulnerable, seniors, people with
disabilities, families, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, immigrants,
refugees, communities of color, the LGBTQ community, people who
experience mental health issues, people with experience of homelessness
and other traumas. We see their strength and resilience. We take seriously
our duty to protect their privacy, to support their stability and to stand with
them when they need allies.
We are brave and innovative.
We’re guided by an ambitious mission that demands we constantly adapt to
meet the needs of our community. Even when change is uncomfortable, we
have the courage to take smart risks and to evolve.
History teaches us we will always face short-term uncertainty, disruptions
and shifting politics. We plan strategically, for the long term, and position
ourselves for a future in which our mission is accomplished.
