However, after the HUD Final Rule was published in August 2013, MFA decided to no longer offer HOME Single Family Development Program. The primary reason for discontinuing the program was that the new rules made it onerous to comply with HUD regulations and, at that time, the Housing Development Department did not feel that it had sufficient staff, nor the expertise, to design a compliant program. Reduced HOME funding and a lack of demand for the single family development product, also contributed to the decision. Maestas further explained that in order to re-establish the program, staff made several updates to the existing HOME Single Family Development Program Policy which will allow the program to comply with requirements of the 2013 Final Rule.

She reminded the Board that on March 22, 2017 MFA’s board of director’s authorized MFA to apply for the CDBG funding.

The funding will be used as leverage funding for the homes receiving moderate rehabilitation and energy efficiency however the homes receiving accessibility improvements and new roofs will be funded primarily with the CDBG and a small cash match from MFA. Bell further explained that in order to access the funding needed to provide the services, it was necessary to use our existing service providers to perform the work since they are entities that have been awarded the primary funding for these programs.

Motion to approve the RFP for Purchase of Affordable Housing Rental Properties in Clayton, NM as presented: Smith. Second: Reyes. Vote: 6-0.
Other 11 2018 Series B Single Family Bond Resolution (Kathy Keeler). Keeler presented a bond resolution for the 2018
Series B single family program. She explained that reservations for our single family loans have been very strong. 2018 A bond issue is totally originated and to support upcoming production a new bond resolution is needed. Staff is recommending the approval of the 2018 Series B Single Family Bond Resolution in the amount of $75mm. It will be different than what the Board has seen in the past.

The underwriters on this bond transaction will be RBC Capital Markets LLC as Senior Manager and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as co-manager. Kathy noted that MFA will also be using a selling group, to assist in the retail sale component since that strategy worked so well for 2018 Series A.

12 Amendments to the 2018-2022 MFA Strategic Plan (Monica Abeita). Abeita began her presentation by explaining that MFA’s Strategic Plan covers the period of FY 2018-2022.

If amendments are needed, they are brought before the MFA Board of Directors in May. She reviewed the recommended amendments for approval located on the memo behind tab thirteen, which will be made a part of the official board packet.

MFA Regular Board Meeting Minutes May 16, 2018 Page 4
2018 due to revised methodology, the revised financial forecast or needed clarifications. Motion to approve the Amendments to the 2018-2022 MFA Strategic Plan as presented: McMillan. Second: Smith. Vote: 6-0.
13 MFA Strategic Plan Update: PBCA Procurement (Izzy Hernandez). Hernandez explained that the memo provided includes information that was presented to the Board in January 2018 and includes updates in pages three and four. He reminded the Board that the January 2018 memo was to approve a resolution to allow MFA to respond to the procurement which would include non HFA type entities into our consortium if we needed to go that route. The updates include, (1) On March 13th HUD cancelled both the national and regional draft Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to replace the current Performance-Based Contract Administration (PBCA) program. HUD stated that it was cancelling the solicitation in its entirety as they need to perform additional due diligence, and it expects to take several months to develop a new procurement. (2) On March 23, 2018 President Trump signed the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 omnibus spending bill. It included funding for PBCA’s to continue performing the work under their contracts. HUD choose to cancel the solicitation and the administration supported the cancelation of the procurement and the solicitation for the remainder of the fiscal year. The administration directed HUD to report to the Appropriation Committees with regard to funding/staffing requirements that would necessitate them to undertake and oversee a state by state procurement. That signals to us that they are looking at going back to doing a state by state procurement. This is something that MFA, all other HFA’s and NCSHA have advocated for many years. At this point we’ve put a hold on drafting the proposal and we do continue to meet as a collaborative and have conference calls on a monthly basis as we wait on a new procurement. We wanted to keep the board apprised. Chair Burt stated that this was a big deal for this team to be recognized by their peers. A team that could lead this process speaks volumes about the quality of this organization. Many times in our state were shy about our capabilities but staff did an outstanding job. He congratulated staff on their hard work. No action required.

Open Session Action Required 15 Motion to come into open session: Reyes. Second: Malavé. Vote: 6-0.
Chair Burt confirmed that we are back in open session and the webcast is running and minutes are being recorded.
Chairman Burt made a statement that the only issues discussed in closed session were attorney-client privileged discussions related to the status of the litigation against Commonweal Conservancy, Inc. No other issues were discussed and no actions were taken. Burt stated that the next item on our agenda is an Action Item to approve a compromise with Commonweal Conservancy, Inc. He asked Board Legal Counsel Joshua Allison to summarize the proposal. Allison stated that the board had before them a copy of a Conditional Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims marked “#2” in the upper right-hand corner. The key terms of that agreement, which would resolve the disputes related to Commonweal Conservancy, Inc.’s defaulted loan obligations are: Commonweal agrees to pay the full outstanding principal balance on its loan obligations to MFA, which results in a payment of $2,419,084, in two installments; Installment 1 is due no later than July 2, 2018 in the amount of $1mm and the second payment of the balance of $1,419,084 is due no later than January 3, 2019. The remaining terms are spelled out in the Conditional Settlement Agreement and Mutual
MFA Regular Board Meeting Minutes May 16, 2018 Page 5
Release. In effect, if the payments are made timely, the lawsuit will be dismissed and the mortgages and use restriction agreement will be released. If the payments are not made timely, a stipulated judgment of foreclosure will be entered, and Commonweal pledges in the agreement that they will cooperate with MFA in entering that stipulated judgement so that MFA may proceed with foreclosure on the properties securing the debt. Recommendation coming from legal counsel and staff is that the Board approve the Conditional Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims marked “#2” and that the Board further authorize Jay Czar on behalf of MFA to execute that agreement. Motion to accept the proposal as stated with Commonweal: Reyes. Second. Malavé. Vote: 6-0. Allison extended his gratitude to Ted Harrison of Commonweal, who was present at the meeting, for working with MFA on these details over the last several weeks. Harrison thanked the board for enduring a long process and apologized that their best efforts resulted in such a disappointing outcome for MFA. He thanked MFA staff for being incredible patient and very creative in working with them to see if there was a way to resolve this obligation in a way that would at least repay to MFA its outstanding principal balance. He went on to speak of the donor and the future plans for this site. Chair Burt thanked Mr. Harrison for his comments.

(HUD) guidance.
SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES
In order to gain an understanding of the Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bond loan process, we
read relevant sections of the MFA Compliance Manual, IRS Statute Section 143: Mortgage
Revenue Bonds, various IRS Revenue Procedures and Revenue Rulings as well as Chapter 5 of
the HUD Handbook. Additionally, we tested that loan applications submitted to MFA included
all required elements listed in the MFA Compliance Manual and were reviewed timely, loan
applications were in compliance with applicable Section 143 subsections, conditions, if
applicable, were reviewed within appropriate time limits, calculated income was below
Maximum Income limits set by Bond Counsel, Maximum Income limits pulled by MITAS
agreed to amounts on the spreadsheet prepared by Bond Counsel, and recapture notices agreed to
the amounts on the Bond Counsel spreadsheet and were provided to the mortgagor within 90
days of settlement.
2
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
During the audit, we found that most areas tested appeared to have functioning internal controls
and established procedures were followed. The compliance checklists utilized during the
application process appeared to be followed and all necessary documentation was obtained for
each loan. Income included in the income calculations appeared to be appropriate and
documentation utilized in the calculations was within the periods established in the policies. In
addition, Maximum Income amounts manually input into the software were pulled correctly
based on the parameters of each loan. Additionally, the department has recently developed ways
to share information among the team in order to make loan file review more consistent and
efficient.
As a result of our testing, REDW identified the following low risk observation:
Recapture notices were not pulling correct income limits
MFA must give the mortgagor notice of the “recapture tax” imposed pursuant to Section 143 of
the IRS Code. The notice includes the adjusted qualifying income in effect for each category of
family size based on their purchasing area. MFA had previously determined that the prior notices
sent out by Idaho Housing did not include the correct adjusted qualifying income. MFA had
subsequently taken over the process to mail the notices; however, the process utilized to populate
the forms did not appear to be correct. Based on our testing, it does not appear that the adjusted
qualifying income was correctly populated into the recapture notices for the 2017B bond
issuance. MFA should work with Bond Counsel to determine the implications of the error in the
notice and determine the appropriate action that needs to be taken to correct the discrepancy.

Vendor and Compliance Management Systems including
Sub-Servicing Oversight Executive Summary
New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority
Board of Directors
We performed the consulting services below to assist New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority
(MFA) in evaluating compliance with policies addressing vendor and compliance management
system (CMS), including subservicing oversight.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
Our internal audit included verification of the significant sections within the CMS, Vendor
Management and Sub-Servicer Oversight Policies and Procedures to determine if monitoring and
reporting activities were in place as they relate to vendors and sub-servicers. REDW performed a
readiness assessment over the CMS in January 2017, to assist MFA in the development of the
CMS and ensure compliance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
requirements. Vendor management and sub-servicer oversight are both components of the CMS
process. The Sub-Servicer Oversight Procedures were implemented in March 2016 to assist with
regulatory compliance with the CFPB, in addition to Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae requirements,
as MFA is accountable to both of these organizations.
SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES
In order to gain an understanding of the expectations for vendor and compliance management,
including sub-servicer oversight, we read the CMS Policies and Procedures, Vendor
Management Policy and Sub-Servicer Oversight Procedures. We identified key process areas
within each policy and procedures, and inquired with the Compliance Officer and Director of
Servicing to gain an understanding of how these policies and procedures were executed and
monitored. Additionally, we obtained supporting documentation, including reports and
correspondence, to ensure those key process areas were performed in accordance with the
policies and procedures.
2
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
We identified areas during the course of the audit where controls were functioning properly and
established procedures were followed. Minimal issues were identified during the course of the
audit and overall the Compliance Officer appears to be performing essential reviews and
monitoring of vendors and sub-servicers. Additionally, significant requirements and
responsibilities in the CMS Policy and Procedures appeared to be performed and functioning as
intended.
As a result of our testing, REDW identified the following low risk observation:
Lack of documentation of Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP) testing performed by Idaho
Housing and Finance Association (IHFA)
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, Quality
Control Oversight and Compliance, requires verification that the MIP were remitted accurately
within the required time period. MFA’s Sub-Servicer Oversight procedures require that a review
procedure be in place for the IHFA MIP remittance to ensure timely and accurate payment;
however, there was no documentation of this review. As such, MFA should encourage IHFA to
update the IHFA Quality Control procedures to ensure these requirements are monitored.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MFA Board of Directors
Through: Finance Committee – June 5, 2018
Through: Policy Committee – May 29, 2018
FROM: Rene Acuña, Director of Homeownership DATE: June 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Proposed Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) Down Payment Assistance Program
Policy
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval and implementation of the CMF Down Payment Assistance Program policy.
Background: The Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) allows institutions, such as MFA to apply for grants through a competitive process. Administered through the federal CDFI fund, the CMF was established as a permanent trust fund in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. CMF hopefuls apply for grants to finance a variety of affordable housing programs and services. The MFA grant application concentrated on allocating awarded funds toward down payment assistance in an effort to promote homeownership opportunities for low-income households within the state. The MFA Board approved the application in August 2017. In March 2018, the U.S. Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI) announced the awardees. MFA received an award of $3.6MM from the Capital Magnet Fund for down payment assistance. Discussion: The attached policy outlines the proposed program parameters. CMF program loans are zero percent (0%) interest rate, non-amortizing 10 year maturity loans due on sale, refinance, or transfer of the property. The principal loan balance is forgiven in the eleventh year from the date of the note. If the property is sold within the 10-year affordability period, the new borrower may qualify to receive a loan under the same program and terms.
Page 2
The program is designed to be used in conjunction with MFA’s First Home program. As such all First Home Program polices and guidelines still apply such as:
• First Time Homebuyer (FTHB) • Must occupy a single family residence as their primary residence • Borrower must contribute $500 of their own funds • Homebuyer counseling is required
Program Income and Acquisition Limits: Program income eligibility is based on either HUD’s HOME published income and purchase price program guidelines or MFA’s Amended New Mexico Annual Action Plan limits. Please refer to the attached program policy for the current limits. Summary: The U.S. Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI) recently awarded $3.6MM to MFA from the Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) to support a down payment assistance program for low income homebuyers. Staff recommends approval and implementation of the CMF Down Payment Assistance program policy. The program will expand homeownership opportunities throughout the state.

Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) Down Payment Assistance Program Policy June 2018
Program Description: The CMF Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program (the “CMF DPA Program”) is designed to assist low-income first-time homebuyers in purchasing a home. The program promotes statewide part-nerships among MFA Participating Lenders and non-profit/public housing agencies and will help in offer-ing increased access to homeownership for borrowers in communities that typically have limited access to affordable financing options. Eligible Mortgage Lenders: Mortgage Lenders must be approved by MFA (“Participating Lender”) to originate CMF DPA Program loans. MFA maintains a list of Participating Lenders on the MFA website (www.housingnm.org). Eligible CMF DPA Program Loans: CMF DPA program loans may only be used to finance the minimum down payment and eligible closing costs. Eligible closing costs may include, but are not restricted to “reasonable and customary” lender fees (underwriting, document preparation, processing, etc.), mortgage insurance premiums, pre-paid interest, property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, title insurance policies/premiums, appraisals and home inspections. The CMF loan must be made in conjunction with MFA’s First Home, federally insured (FHA, VA, and USDA Rural Development Guarantee) or privately insured (FNMA’s HFA Preferred TM) first mortgage programs. Availability of Funds: CMF DPA Program funds are limited and may be reserved on a first come, first serve basis in conjunction with a First Home program loan. A portion of these funds will be set aside for use in rural communities and economically distressed census tracts. Reservations of funds are made through MFA’s online reser-vation system, which can be accessed on MFA’s website (www.housingnm.org/lenders_realtors/online-reservations).
2
Eligible Borrowers: The Annual Household Income must not exceed the applicable maximum limit as detailed in the CMF Income Limits (Exhibit A). The CMF Income Limits are limited to eighty percent (80%) AMI in all areas of the state, adjusted for family size.
• The CMF DPA program requires the borrower to be a first-time homebuyer. • Program is not eligible for any income limit waivers associated with other MFA programs as al-
lowed in Target Area Census tracts, for example. • Borrower contribution of at least $500, which must be the borrowers own funds and cannot be
derived from any type of gift, grant or down payment assistance. • Minimum credit score of 620. • Homebuyers must occupy the property within 60 days of closing.
Property Eligibility: All areas of the state, including Federally Designated Tribal Land, are eligible for the program.
• Properties must be owner-occupied, single family residences. • Property types eligible for financing under the CMF DPA program include Single family detached
properties, townhomes, condominiums, and homes in Planned Unit Developments and manu-factured homes on permanent foundations.
• Properties financed with the CMF DPA program must not exceed the purchase price limits set forth in Exhibit A.
Interest Rate and Terms: CMF program loans are zero percent (0%) interest rate, non-amortizing 10 year maturity loans due on sale, refinance, or transfer of the property. The principal loan balance is forgiven in the eleventh year from the date of the note. If the property is sold within the 10-year affordability period, the new bor-rower may qualify to receive a loan under the same program and terms. CMF loans do not carry a pre-payment penalty. Fees: Participating Lenders may charge the borrower an origination fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) in conjunction with CMF DPA loan. Other allowable fees that may be charged in conjunction with this loan program include the recording fees, mortgagee title insurance policy premiums and settlement/closing fees. MFA, as administrator, may charge additional fees to release the mortgage at time of payoff. No other fees may be charged in conjunction with the CMF DPA loan.
3
Maximum Loan Amount: CMF DPA Program loan amounts are limited to the lesser of 8% of the purchase price or $8,000. Pre-Purchase Housing Counseling: Homebuyer counseling is required for all first time homebuyers (FTHB) including co-borrowers. FTHB must complete a homebuyer counseling course through eHomeAmerica or another MFA approved counseling agency. (Certificates from Mortgage Insurance Companies are not acceptable). Homebuyer counseling is not required for Co-signers. Affordability Period: CMF DPA Program loans require an minimum affordability period of 10 years. Homebuyers must agree to reside in the property for the duration of the period of affordability, or until there is a sale or other transfer of ownership of the property. Should the homebuyer cease to reside in the home as a principal residence (by vacating, selling or renting the unit) during the period of affordability, then the full amount of the CMF DPA loan will be due and payable immediately. MFA, at its discretion, will take legal action to enforce the residency requirement. Loan Closing: The Mortgage Loan must close in the Lender’s name on a standard FNMA Note and Mortgage. The Lender has the option of using MFA’s MERS #1013401. If not, the Lender must prepare an assign-ment.
• The Note must be endorsed to New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority it’s successors and or assigns.
• The Lender must ensure that the Mortgage Loan meets all applicable program guidelines and has been Compliance Approved by MFA prior to the loan closing.
The Mortgage Loan must be closed according to the terms specified in the Approval Commitment and the Closed Loan File delivered to the Contract Service Provider prior to the Final Mortgage Loan Purchase Date as specified on the Commitment. The Closed Loan Checklist outlines the documents that must be submitted by the Lender. Failure by the Lender to submit the required documentation prior to the purchase expiration date may result in MFA’s determination that the loan is not eligible for the program or MFA will charge a fee to the Lender for an extension or the loan may be pur-chased from the Lender on a worst case, Mark-to-Market basis. In these cases, MFA will not be obli-gated to authorize the Contract Service Provider to purchase the loan.
4
Funding: CMF DPA Program loans must be delivered to and purchased by the Contract Service Provider via Lender Connection prior to the Final Mortgage Loan Purchase Date as specified on the Approval Commitment. The Closed Loan Checklist outlines the documents that must be submitted by the Lender. In addition, if at the time the Closed Loan File is reviewed and the Mortgage Loan is found to be ineligible MFA will not be obligated to authorize the purchase of the loan. Servicing: MFA will service all CMF DPA Program loans.

MEMORANDUM TO: MFA Board of Directors
Through: Policy Committee – May 29, 2018 Finance Committee—June 5, 2018
FROM: Monica Abeita, Director of Policy and Planning DATE: June 13, 2018 SUBJECT: 2020-2024 State of New Mexico Infrastructure Capital
Improvement Plan (ICIP) Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the following projects for the FY 2020-2024 ICIP, which must be submitted to the Capital Outlay Bureau of New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) in early July 2018: Priority 1: New Mexico Housing Trust Fund $5 million each year for 2020-2024 Priority 2: Weatherization/Energy-Efficiency $2 million each year for 2020-2024 Background and Discussion: Each year, the Capital Outlay Bureau of DFA requests that state agencies, local governments, tribal governments, special districts and senior citizen facilities submit ICIPs for priority capital projects for which they will seek state funding in the next five years. DFA does not plan to send out the new FY 2020-2024 ICIP until the first week in June; therefore the actual ICIP is not attached to this memo. Prior to 2015, MFA was not aware that it was eligible to request capital outlay funding through the state ICIP process. At a meeting with DFA staff in 2015, MFA was encouraged to submit an ICIP as a state agency. MFA was informed that, if prioritized through the ICIP
2
process, its projects would be rolled into the severance tax bond capital outlay bill for consideration by the legislature. Severance tax bonds can be used for projects such as MFA’s, which are privately owned once constructed. MFA has submitted the same capital outlay requests for the past few years, with the following results at these Legislative Sessions:
• 2016: Both requests were prioritized and included in the original severance tax bond capital outlay bill, although neither request was included in the substitute bill that was ultimately approved.
• 2017: No capital outlay requests were approved in 2017. • 2018: Neither request was included in capital outlay legislation.
Summary: Each year, the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) requests that state agencies, local governments, tribal governments, special districts and senior citizen facilities submit Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plans (ICIPs) for priority capital projects for which they will seek state funding in the next five years. MFA has submitted ICIPs through this process for the last three years. No funding has been received to date. MFA is recommending that a new ICIP be submitted for the FY 2020-2024 ICIP for the following projects, which have been requested in previous years: Priority 1: New Mexico Housing Trust Fund $5 million each year for 2020-2024 Priority 2: Weatherization/Energy-Efficiency $2 million each year for 2020-2024

Through: Finance Committee – June 5, 2018
Through: Policy Committee – May 15, 2018
FROM: Izzy Hernandez
DATE: June 13, 2018
SUBJECT: Allocations of 2016, 2017 and 2018 National Housing Trust Fund and 2018 HOME Funds
Recommendation: Staff recommends the allocation of $9,000,000 of National Housing Trust Fund (N-HTF) and $8,021,768 of HUD HOME funds to the activities as identified in the below N-HTF Table and the attached 2018 HOME Allocation sheet.
Background: MFA has been the statewide Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) for HUD HOME funds in New Mexico since 1997. HOME Funds are allocated annually on a formula basis to each PJ. In 2016 MFA was also allocated N-HTF funds. In order to be eligible, MFA must be compliant with the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, N-HTF Allocation Plan and Consolidated Annual Production Reporting (CAPER) amongst other requirements. N-HTF: MFA was allocated $3,000,000 in 2016, 2017 and 2018 for a total of $9,000,000. The N-HTF allows up to a 10% administration fee ($300,000). Based on our expenses and staff time allocations the last 12 months, we project using $50,000 in administrative fees each year. We are seeking your approval to allocate $50,000 to MFA Admin for each of the three years and $2,950,000 to programs for each of the three years. The below table summarizes our proposed N-HTF Allocation:

MEMORANDUM
TO: MFA Board of Directors Through: Allocation Review Committee – April 25, 2018 Policy Committee – March 22, 2018 Contracted Services & Credit Committee- June 5, 2018 (Informational Only) FROM: Susan H. Biernacki, Tax Credit Program Manager DATE: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT: Proposed 2018 Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) awards Recommendation:
Staff, by and through MFA’s Allocation Review Committee (“ARC”), requests approval of six (6) LIHTC awards, attached hereto as Table 7A, approval of a forward allocation of 2019 tax credits in the amount of $1,259,545, and approval of five (5) projects for the waitlist, attached hereto as Table 7B.
Background:
In accordance with the 2018 State of New Mexico Housing Tax Credit Program Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP), MFA accepted applications for the competitive 9% Tax Credit round submitted by February 13, 2018. Each application was reviewed for threshold requirements1, scored, and underwritten to test financial feasibility and determine the maximum allowable tax credit award.
Threshold issues were discussed with legal counsel and, pursuant to Section IV.C.5 of the QAP, Applicants were allowed a deficiency correction period to remedy correctable threshold issues. All correctable threshold deficiencies identified were remedied. In addition, supplemental information requests were made pursuant to Section IV.C.6 of the QAP. The information provided in connection with these supplemental information requests was satisfactory. The results of staff’s rating and ranking were reviewed and approved by the ARC at their meeting on April 25, 2018. The ARC approved a motion to recommend six projects for award, forward allocations and waitlisted projects, as presented herein to the Board of Directors. Preliminary award and wait list letters were mailed on April 26, 2018,
1 Threshold requirements are discussed in Section III.C. of the QAP and include the following: (i) site control; (ii) appropriate zoning; (iii) all fees current; (iv) minimum project score; (v) applicant eligibility; (vi) financial feasibility; and (vii) pre-application requirements.
2
which letters outlined MFA’s appeal process, all as described in Section IV.F.4 of the QAP. One appeal was filed by ZHA LIHTC #3 by the appeal deadline of May 7, 2018. The ARC convened an appeal hearing on May 16, 2018 and ruled in favor of MFA. Concurrent with this process, MFA staff conducted site visits at each of the recommended six (6) sites; photos with summary information are attached to this memo. In addition, staff commissioned independent third party market studies for each of the six projects proposed for award. Each market study contained a delineation of the particular market area and discussion of market area economy (including population and household trends and household income distribution), a demand analysis based on capture rates of size appropriate, income eligible renter households, an absorption rate estimate, a competitive rental market analysis and operating expense analysis. Each study confirmed the subject’s rental rates are at or below achievable rents and confirmed market feasibility.
As detailed in the attached Table 1, 2018 Housing Tax Credit Ceiling, MFA began the tax credit round with an estimated balance of $4,347,721. As discussed below, staff recommends the allocation of all 2018 tax credits plus a forward allocation of $1,259,545 of 2019 tax credits in order to fully fund the top three (3) ranking new construction projects and the top three (3) ranking rehabilitation projects.
Discussion:
A. Overview-
• Demand for Tax Credits in 2018 was down slightly in comparison to 2017. MFA received 11 applications this year requesting a total of $10,028,192 in annual tax credits vis-à-vis 2017 applications totaling $12,349,192.
• The ratio of requests to ceiling (i.e. $4,347,721) this year was 2.3:1, down from 3.86:1 last year.
• Average cost per unit (new construction) this year is $188,151, up from $183,914 in 2017 and $186,332 in 2016. No project exceeds MFA’s cost limits as defined in Section IV.C.2 of QAP.
• Average project size remained constant at 71.4 units as compared with 2017.
• All 11 projects were determined to be “Eligible” for tax credit awards; no applications were rejected.
• At the conclusion of the ARC meeting held on April 25, 2018, ARC passed a motion recommending approval of six (6) proposed awards as presented in Table 7A, approval of the 2018 waitlist as presented in Table 7B, and approval of a forward allocation in the amount of $1,259,545 in 2019 tax credits in order to fully fund the six (6) awards.
• The remaining five (5) eligible projects will make up the wait list.
• The 10% Non-Profit Set-Aside was achieved and no awards are being made under the USDA Rural Development Set-Aside.
• All of the recommended projects have a sponsor or co-sponsor that is a non-profit entity, local housing authority or local tribally designated housing entity (TDHE).
3
• Of the six (6) recommended projects, one (1) project will serve households with special housing needs, one (1) project will serve senior households and four (4) projects will serve households with children.
• The six (6) recommended projects are located in the following counties: Bernalillo, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Taos, Dona Ana and Eddy. Two projects are located in urban areas (Albuquerque and Santa Fe) and four projects are located in rural areas (Los Alamos, Taos, Carlsbad and Placitas (Hatch).
• All of the projects are in Areas of Statistically Demonstrated Need.
• The six (6) recommended projects contain unit sizes ranging from 36 to 100 units.
• Three (3) of the six (6) recommended projects involve new construction (one project with 70 units and two projects with 80 units each, for a total of 230 units, of which 218 are affordable units), and three (3) of the six (6) recommended projects involve rehabilitation (100, 80 and 36 units, for a total of 216 units, all of which are affordable).
• A total of 446 units will be constructed or rehabilitated and 434 of these will be low income units. The table below details the unit rental restrictions for the units to be constructed or rehabilitated.

**2018 QAP provides If tax credits remain in either track/ category, these remaining tax credits, may, in MFA’s discretion, be pooled. Thereafter, MFA may select one or more Projects to be awarded tax credits, including any forward allocation of tax credits, using the following methodology. MFA will review the next highest scoring Project from each track /category and will determine which Project has the highest “proportionate” score; that is, the greater percentage of scoring points achieved versus possible scoring points available in the respective track/category. In the event of a tie in this calculation, the remaining tax credits will be awarded to the new construction Project, which includes adaptive reuse Projects. In the event MFA chooses, in its sole discretion, to forward allocate tax credits to an additional project, the next highest scoring project in the rehabilitation category will be awarded. In the alternative, MFA may determine, in its sole discretion, to not “pool” remaining tax credits and to not forward allocate the following year’s tax credits, even if that means that MFA chooses to not fully allocate any year’s Annual Credit Ceiling. Any application of the tie breaker process and/or decision to forward allocate tax credits lies solely within MFA’s inherent discretion and is not subject to further review.

Project Type & Size
Acquisition & Rehabilitation of a 36-unit USDA Rural Development Project serving Families with Children and providing HUD Project Based Section 8 rental subsidy to 35 of the 36 units. All 36 units are income-restricted to households earning 50% or less of Area Median Income (AMI).
Page 2 of 3
Project Description
The Valle Verde I Apartments project consists of 10 single-story residential buildings, totaling 36 units, and one single-story management-office/laundry room building. All 36 units are income-restricted to households earning 50% or less of AMI, and are comprised of 6 one-bedroom units, each consisting of approximately 574 sq. ft.; 12 two-bedroom units, each consisting of approximately 690 sq. ft.; 16 three-bedroom units, each consisting of approximately 868 sq. ft.; and 2 four-bedroom units, each consisting of approximately 1,115 sq. ft. Thirty-five of the 36 units receive HUD Project Based Section 8 subsidies. The remaining unit, formally a manager’s unit, will be converted to a 50% AMI unit, without project-based subsidy. Valle Verde I was originally constructed in 1979 as a USDA Rural Development 515 project. The property received some rehabilitation in 2010 when TDS obtained a $385K HOME loan and later, in 2014, when they obtained an additional $191K USDA Rural Development loan. Funds from these loans were used to replace the roof systems, windows, HVAC and a small percentage of kitchen/bathroom cabinetry. The proposed acquisition/rehab project property is to be acquired by a related limited liability limited partnership. The proposed rehabilitation work will include the replacement and/or improvement of the buildings’ stucco and HVAC systems (more efficient systems to meet HERS rating), as well as the replacement of light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, water heaters, ranges & range hoods, flooring, kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, sinks, bathroom exhaust fans, venting of the range hoods and exhaust fans to the exterior, reconfiguring two handicap accessible units, and the interior patching and painting of units. In addition, the management office/laundry building will be remodeled and expanded from 800 sq. ft. to 2,050 sq. ft., to include a clubhouse area providing community space for events/activities/bbq’s, computer learning and services. Improvements to the property will include a youth soccer field, a half-court basketball court, a walking path/trail, a community garden and a playground for small children. The MFA-ordered, Novogradac & Company market study, dated 4/20/18, advises that the subject project is feasible as presented. The report concludes that, once renovated, Valle Verde I Apartments will be a good-quality development, offering newly-renovated housing to local families. As a newly-renovated development, the project will not suffer from deferred maintenance, functional obsolescence, or physical obsolescence. The project’s site is located in close proximity to services, employment, education and retail. The offered amenities are appropriate and sufficient for the market and the intended tenants. Renovation of the project’s units will positively impact the surrounding area by improving the project’s neighborhood and by preserving much needed affordable housing. The total general population is projected to increase from market entry through 2022. As the total population and number of households continue to grow, the demand for housing units will continue to increase. The project currently maintains a waiting list of 25 households and management reports a strong demand for affordable housing in the area.

The rent composition of the total 80 units will include the following: 67 units for households earning 50% or less of AMI and 13 units for households earning 30% AMI or less.

Project Description
Parkside Place (“Project”) represents an opportunity to preserve and substantially renovate the two aging affordable housing communities. Mission Apartments was built in 1979 and La Posada Apartments was built in 1969. The combined two communities occupy 4.2 acres of land and consist of five (5) two-story walk-up buildings and one (1) rental/management building. The Project’s activities include the rehabilitation of a total of 80 units that are currently occupied. The current unit composition of both communities is as follows: Building A contains 40 one-bedroom/1-bath units; Building B contains 12 two-bedroom/1 bath units; Buildings C and D, both, contain 10 two-bedroom/1 bath units each; and Building E contains 8 three-bedroom/1.5 bath townhouses. The floorplan square footage for each unit type are as follows: one-bedroom units average 535 square feet, two-bedroom units average 714 square feet, and three-bedroom units average 1,046 square feet. The location of the communities are within proximity to parks, strip mall centers with retail and service components, restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, and other services. Apart from repainting the exterior of the buildings, neither community has had any major renovations since construction. Due to their age, they are suffering from obsolescence. The Project’s proposed exterior renovation activities include roof replacement, stucco repair and repaint, and replacement of exterior windows and doors. Interior renovations include replacement of HVAC (old forced air furnaces and evaporative coolers), water-heater equipment, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and countertops, vinyl and carpet flooring, appliances, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, and paint. Other proposed renovations to the overall Project property include the addition of two playgrounds, conversion of four existing units into ADA accessible units, installation of bicycle racks, new sidewalk construction to improve accessibility to laundry, mailbox center, and other areas of the site, addition of a community garden, new landscaping and irrigation, addition of benches and picnic tables, storm water management improvements, and replacement of the laundry facility. A new rental/management building will be constructed on-site which will replace the existing rental/management building and will provide a television lounge and computer center for the residents. The new rental/management building will also provide a space for an on-site Service Coordinator who will provide residents with information about onsite and community services; assist residents in accessing available services; arrange for access to transportation; and organize community-building and/or other enrichment events for the residents. Enrichment services will include programs such as literacy/language training; financial fitness; personal safety; income and asset building counseling; and life skills. Case management services will be provided to all Special Needs residents on a voluntary and as-needed basis. All resident service programs will be offered for free. MFA ordered a market study, conducted by Novogradac & Company, LLP, which outlines a Primary Market Area (PMA) of an irregularly shaped area bounded by Highway 285/George Shoup Relief Route to the North, the Pecos River to the East, Black River Village Road to the South, and Guadalupe Mountains to the West. However, the market study conducted extends to areas outside the PMA to Hobbs and Roswell in order to locate comparable developments that include unsubsidized LIHTC and subsidized developments. The expansion outside the PMA boundary allowed for fourteen comparable properties. Novogradac’s review was able to determine the Project to be well-conceived and within range of the comparable properties due to its target population and existing Project-Based Section 8 contracts.

Management Monarch Properties, Inc. is a privately held Texas corporation chartered in 1982. Monarch is involved with third-party, full service management of multi-family apartment communities throughout Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The corporate office is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The total apartment units under management have consistently averaged more than 7,500 with over 280 team members employed.
Developer
YES Housing Inc. (YES) is a 501(c)(3) New Mexico nonprofit organization created in 1990. It has a current full time staff of 22 including EVP/COO Joe Ortega & VP of Real Estate Development Michelle Den Bleyker, both experienced developers. YES has been designated by MFA as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for past projects. It has constructed or rehabilitated over 2,400 units of affordable rental housing in New Mexico, Arizona & Texas. Consolidated (i.e. includes affiliates) audited financial statements for FYE 12/31/16 show substantial assets of $109.1 million, unrestricted cash of $1.8 million, and net worth of $48.3 million. Operating cash flow was negative, but traditional cash flow (i.e. net earnings plus depreciation, amortization, and interest) was positive at $3.9 million. The debt-to-worth ratio was 1.26 to 1. Consolidated internally-prepared statements for the 11 months ended 11/30/17 show negative net operating income, but net income (i.e. including investment income, gains/losses from disposal of assets, and depreciation and amortization) was positive at $2.2 million. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.9 million, and the debt-to-worth ratio was 0.63 to 1.
Project Type & Size
New construction 80 rental units consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, composed of 24 units for households earning 30% or less of area median income (AMI), 16 units for 50% AMI households, 28 units for 60% AMI households, and 12 units with no income limitation. Project will also include 8 market-rate condominium live-work units on the ground floor.
Project Description
The project is a new construction mixed-income development in Albuquerque consisting of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. The units will be contained in one four-story midrise residential building. The project will consist of 68 LIHTC units and 12 market rate units. Furthermore, the project will offer 6,121 square feet of live/work condominium space. The project is designed for families with children with nearly 75% of the units being a two- or three-bedroom unit. The plan includes 21 one-bedroom units (18 units at 719 sf and 3 corner units at 600 sf), 42 two-bedroom units (all units are 1,026 sf), and 17 three-bedroom units (all units are 1,209 sf). Community amenities will include recreational areas for children, a community garden, management/maintenance and service coordination office space, laundry rooms, a community room with a kitchen for resident use, healthy cooking classes, as well as a computer room and multipurpose room for resident events and social services. The plan includes a large rooftop deck area (9,564 sf) that can also be used for resident events and additional outdoor living opportunities. All apartment units and common areas have been designed using Universal Design principles. The project will achieve LEED-H Silver certification, as required by the City of Albuquerque funding. The MFA-ordered, Novogradac & Company market study, dated 4/17/18, advises that the project is feasible as presented. The site is located in close proximity to services, employment, public transportation, and retail. The off-site amenities are appropriate and sufficient for the market and intended residents. Total population is projected to increase into 2022 and construction of the project’s units will positively impact the surrounding area by improving the neighborhood. The project’s LIHTC rents are substantially below comparable market rents, providing a significant tenant advantage for low- and moderate-income households. No other developments in the Primary Market Area (PMA) offer 30% AMI units that this project will offer. Occupancy levels at the comparables are high and four of the six comparables maintain a waiting list.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MFA Board of Directors
Through: Contracted Services – June 5, 2018 Through: Policy Committee – May 22, 2018
FROM: Natalie Michelback, COC Program Manager DATE: June 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Limited Source Procurement for 2018/2019 Continuum of Care Performance (“CoC”)
Program Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the 2018/2019 Continuum of Care Performance preliminary award amounts to 26 approved service providers. Background The Continuum of Care Performance Program is supported exclusively by State Homeless funds. For the past five years, the program funds have been awarded using limited source procurement, and it is recommended that this be continued this year. Below is a restatement of the basis for limited source procurement for this program. Limited source procurement is used when there is a limited number of qualified sources for the procurement, therefore a competitive sealed proposal procedure would be impractical. The prerequisite for receiving this funding is a HUD Continuum of Care award and executed grant agreement. The qualified sources are therefore limited each year to only the successful renewing recipients of HUD Continuum of Care funds. Cooperation with New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness (NMCEH) The NMCEH is responsible for coordinating the Balance of State Continuum of Care application process, and is contracted by the City of Albuquerque to coordinate the Albuquerque Continuum of Care application process. In doing so, the NMCEH collects the annual performance data from all applicants and renewing agencies and reports the data directly to MFA. Receiving this information directly from NMCEH is a more practical alternative to MFA requesting the information through an official RFP.
2
Purpose of Activities The purpose of these CoC funds is to provide support to agencies statewide which have received HUD Continuum of Care funding through either the Albuquerque or Balance of State applications to HUD; this also assists those agencies with match requirements for the Continuum of Care. The “CoC” Program is designed to assist individuals (including unaccompanied youth) and families experiencing homelessness and to provide the services needed to help such individuals move into transitional and permanent housing, with the goal of long-term stability. Approval of Awards All applicants will be funded based on a formula that was created by the Joint Evaluation Team in 2011, (MFA Executive Team and Hank Hughes, Executive Director of the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness). Based on this year’s State Homeless funding, the cap is set at $28,405 resulting in the total CoC funding of $458,174. Estimated funding for the homeless programs for the 2018-2019 Program Year is $2,387,731. Disbursement of the funding between the below outlined programs and categories will be determined based on the review of the applications and associated need. Based on HUD’s 2017 program year, the funding for this year will be disbursed in the following way:
Funding Allocations for the 2018/2019 Program Year HUD – ESG (7.5% for admin = $84,153) $1,122,034.00 State Homeless (5% for admin = $63,285) $1,265,700.00 Total $2,387,734.00
Allocations for 2018/2019 by Program NMCEH $88,000.00 EHAP $885,399.00 RAP $808,723.00 COC $458,174.00 MFA Admin $147,438.00 Total $2,387,734.00

Summary The Continuum of Care (COC) performance awards were established to provide support to agencies statewide that offer homeless prevention and supportive services through this limited source procurement. This year’s total HUD Continuum of Care funding for the Albuquerque and Balance of State service providers is $10,728,359. Twenty Six (26) agencies were eligible for the MFA COC award. Staff is requesting approval of Twenty Six (26) awards in the total amount of $458,174 for the Continuum of Care (COC) program. Upon PC approval, award notifications will be mailed. Final award letters will be sent upon approval of contracted services and MFA Board of Directors.

MEMORANDUM TO: MFA Board of Directors Through: Contracted Services on June 5, 2018 Through: Policy Committee on May 29, 2018
FROM: Natalie Michelback, HOPWA Program Manager DATE: June 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Approval of 2018/2019 HOPWA Service Providers and Awards Recommendation: Staff recommends approval to award Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding in the amount of $783,979.22 to three service providers and $24,246.78 of admin to MFA. Background: HOPWA funds are distributed in New Mexico to two geographic areas by The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); the City of Albuquerque and the balance of state (all areas outside of Albuquerque) through MFA. For program year 2018-2019, MFA received $433,596.00 in HOPWA funds for housing assistance within the City of Albuquerque and $374,630.00 for the balance of state for a total of $808,226.00. MFA’s administrative fees are calculated at 3% for a total of $24,246.78 resulting in the total award of $783,979.22 to three service providers. The HOPWA RFP was approved by MFA’s Board of Directors on April 18, 2018, and released to the public on the same day. RFP training was held on April 26, 2018, and the response deadline was May 16, 2018. Three Offerors responded to the HOPWA RFP:
Agency Name
Area Applied for*
Met Minimum Threshold
Southwest CARE Center (SWCC) Statewide Yes El Camino Real Housing Authority (ECR) Southern Region Yes SW Regional Housing and Community Development Corporation (SWR)
Southern Region
Yes
(A breakdown of the regions can be found on the last page) A total of 100 points were available. The three applications were reviewed and scored independently by an internal RFP review committee consisting of three members. The average score of each Offeror is provided for review. The following categories were used to determine the score:
Category

Organization Capacity 30 30 28 28 Housing Experience 30 30 10 17 Finance 20 17.5 20 20 Areas to be Served 20 20 20 13.5
TOTAL 100 97.5 78 78.5 For program year 2017-2018, the HOPWA Program has one service provider; SWCC. The agency is a strong partner however MFA felt that it would be in the best interest of the program to increase the number of services providers due to 1) the likelihood of additional funding coming from the New Mexico Department of Health in the amount of $500,000.00 and 2) having only one service provider creates more vulnerability for MFA and the HOPWA Program. The RFP was written to allow for two service providers in each region. As outlined above, SWCC applied for the entire state and the other two offerors, SWR and ECR applied for the southern region. Although SWCC scored the highest, staff believes it is in the best interest of MFA and the HOPWA program that the two new agencies be awarded the Southern part of the state and SWCC be awarded the Northern region and the City of Albuquerque. This would expand the service providers throughout the southern part of the state and allow for additional outreach opportunities. The review committee is recommending that the $783,979.22 in HOPWA funding be awarded as outlined below:
Agency Region Program Amount Admin Amount Total Award SWCC Northern
City of Albuquerque $206,152.57 $391,147.12
$15,516.00 $29,441.00
$221,668.57 $420,588.12
ECR Southern I $64,211.31 $4,833.00 $69,044.31 SWR Southern II $67,591.22 $5,087.00 $72,678.22 Total $729,102.22 $54,877.00 $783,979.22
Upon Board approval staff will provide contracts to the three agencies for the 2018/2019 program year which begins on July 1, 2018. Summary: Staff recommends that the Board approve the following three service providers for the HOPWA funding of $783,979.22 and $24,246.78 of admin to MFA:
• Southwest Care Center (SWCC) for the Northern Region and the City of Albuquerque. • El Camino Real Housing Authority (ECR) for the Southern Region I which consists of the following counties:
Torrance Grant Catron Sierra Socorro Otero Lincoln Hidalgo De Baca Luna Curry Eddy Roosevelt Lea Chaves
• Southwestern Regional Housing & Community Development Center (SWR) for the Southern Region II which
would be Dona Ana County.
The Southern Region is being split to allow the new agencies to have an equal share of the funding available to the region. This is calculated by the number of individuals with AIDS/HIV living below the federal poverty level in these counties.
Board approval would allow the HOPWA service providers to receive a one year contract with the option of two additional annual renewals.

FROM: Amy Gutierrez, NM Energy$mart Program Manager DATE: June 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Approval of 2018/2019 NM Energy$mart Service Providers Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board approve Central NM Housing Corporation for Territory 1 (Northern Territory) and Southwestern Regional Housing and Community Development Corporation for Territory 2 (Southern Territory). Board approval would allow the NM Energy$mart Service Providers to receive a one year contract with the option of four additional annual renewals. Background: The NM Energy$mart Program “Program” is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through its Weatherization Assistance Program funds. Other funding sources include LIHEAP, NM Gas and PNM. The Programs’ purpose is to help low-income households reduce their energy consumption and costs and improve their health and safety by implementing energy-saving measures in their homes. MFA administers the Program statewide through local community-based organizations. Anticipated funding for program year 2018/2019 is $6,199,852. The NM Energy$mart RFP was approved by the MFA Board of Directors on April 18, 2018 and released to the public on the same day. RFP training was held on April 26, 2018 and the response deadline was May 11, 2018. Four Offerors responded to the NM Energy$mart RFP:

TOTAL 120 111.125 109.5 Based on the applications received, there were no qualified applicants for Territory 2. Therefore, as outlined in Section 11 - Geographic Area to which the RFP applied – which states that if there are not three successful Offerors or if all territories are not applied for, the successful Offerors would revert back to the territories currently covered by the existing service providers. The review committee is recommending Central New Mexico Housing Corporation as the Service Provider for the Territory 1 (Northern Territory) and SW Regional Housing and Community Development Corporation as the Service Provider for Territory 2 (Southern Territory) Agency Service Area Counties Served

Anticipated total funding for the NM Energy$mart Program for the program year 2018/2019 is $6,199,852.00. The approximate Department of Energy (DOE) and LIHEAP (Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program) funding and units for each territory are as follows: Central New Mexico Housing will receive $2,918,555.13 for a total of 306 units to be weatherized. Southwestern Regional Housing will receive $1,309,305.75 for a total of 115 units to be weatherized. The total of 421 units is calculated into each county on the attached map. Upon Board approval, staff will amend the Department of Energy’s State Plan with a budget modification to reflect two service providers and two service areas. The budget modification will also specify the required units and funding in each territory. In addition, contracts will be issued to each Service Provider effective July 1, 2018. Summary: Staff recommends that the Board approve Central NM Housing Corporation for Territory 1 (Northern Territory) and Southwestern Regional Housing and Community Development Corporation for Territory 2 (Southern Territory) as the service providers for the NM Energy$mart Program. Board approval would allow the selected Service Providers to receive a one year contract with the option of four additional annual renewals.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Directors
Through: Contracted Services Committee – June 5, 2018 Through: Policy Committee – May 22, 2018
FROM: Shannon Tilseth, Program Manager DATE: June 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Limited Source Procurement 2018/2019 Linkages Program Award Recommendations Recommendation Staff recommends approval to award Linkages Housing Administrators a total of $1,242,000.00 under Limited Source Procurement for program year 2018/2019. In addition, staff is requesting that the approval allow for two, one year extensions to the contract which would expire on June 30, 2021. Background The Linkages Program is funded by the state of New Mexico, Behavioral Health Service Division “BHSD”, Human Services Department “HSD”. Funding provides permanent, supportive housing vouchers to extremely low income persons with a severe mental illness diagnosis who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The designation of the service areas are based on the availability and qualifications of local Housing Administrators “HA” and a HSD Certified Social Services Administrator “SSA” whose role is to oversee the provision of supportive services and help clients obtain and sustain permanent housing. Social services are provided as an integral part of mental health management. Limited Source Procurement is used for services that are available from only one source, or when there are such a limited number of qualified sources for the procurement, as determined under the facts and circumstances of the procurement, that a competitive, sealed proposal procedure would be impractical. In New Mexico, there are a limited number of Housing Administrators that qualify for funding under the Linkages Program. The program requires Housing Administrators to have both rental voucher experience and a partnering arrangement with a Certified Social Services Administrator. For this reason, staff recommends that funding be awarded to the selected qualified Housing Administrators on a yearly basis, through Limited Source Procurement. There are currently six Housing Administrators administering the Linkages Program. Each year, current Linkages HA’s must submit documentation to ensure they are in good standing by submitting the following:
• Proof that all outstanding MFA monitoring findings and/or concerns have been corrected or
addressed; • Proof of current registration as a charitable organization with the New Mexico Charitable
Organizations Registrar, NM Attorney General’s Office (if applicable); • A current financial audit or audited financial statements; • The most recent monitoring letters from all major funders; • Proof of active status under System Award Management (sam.gov); • Proof that organization and executive director have not been suspended or debarred under HUD’s
Limited Denial of Participation” conferred upon it by MFA or other funding sources; • MFA’s Offeror Certification of Compliance • Signed agreement with the designated SSA(s) MFA receives $1,350,000.00 in reoccurring funding from the state of New Mexico each year. The chart below shows how the funding is allocated.
2018/2019 Funding Allocations
Amount
Linkages Housing Administrator Award $1,242,000.00 MFA Administrative Fee @ 8% $108,000.00
Total $1,350,000.00
Discussion Since Linkages is a supportive housing program, funding allocations for each HA are based on the amount of funding needed to support the number of vouchers awarded on an on-going basis. Awards are also based on the fair market rent in the given area. Each voucher represents a household. Each HA will receive $100 per voucher per month in administrative fees which is intended to support organizational costs associated with administering this program. The chart below shows the recommended allocations for the six Linkages HA’s for program year beginning July 1, 2018.

MEMORANDUM TO: MFA Board of Directors
Through: N/A
FROM: Kathleen M. Sysak-Keeler DATE: June13, 2018 SUBJECT: Single Family Mortgage Bonds 2018 Series A – Pricing Summary The 2018 Series A transaction is a combination new money and refunding bond issue which closed on May 10, 2018. The following is a summary of the bond sale: ~Structure: The bond issue is a $62.0 million tax-exempt traditional bond issue which provides for non-AMT serial bonds, term bonds and a premium planned amortization class (“PAC”) bond along with AMT serial bonds. ~Marketing: In order to enhance the marketing of bonds to retail investors, four selling group members participated in the underwriting syndicate, namely, D.A. Davidson & Co., Fidelity Capital Markets, Stifel Nicholas & Company, Inc. and UBS. New Mexico retail investors had first priority followed by national retail investors. The underwriting syndicate submitted $7.9 million in orders and was allotted $4.8 million of bonds. Total orders for the bond issue were $ 214.4 million for both retail and institutional investors. The institutional investors were very interested in PAC bonds and the term bonds. ~Use of Bond Proceeds: The bond issue is comprised of a new money portion and a refunding portion. The $50.0 million new money portion of the transaction is being used to originate new mortgage loans (the “new money portion”) and to roll forward a subsidy generated from prior bond issues which helped maintain competitive mortgage rates. The weighted average mortgage rates are as follows:
Program Government Conventional FIRST HOME 4.681% 4.940%
The $12.0 million refunding portion of the bond issue is being used to refund the 2008 Series C and 2008 Series D bond issues (the “refunding portion”).
Board of Directors Page 2 June 13, 2018 RE: 2018 Series A Pricing Summary
~Spread: The spread on the transaction is 1.122%. Spread is the difference between the mortgage yield and the bond yield. Maximum spread permitted by federal tax law is 1.125%. The net present value benefit of the transaction including the subsidy generated by the refunding is $3.5 million, or approximately 5.7% of the amount of the bond issue. ~Investment of Bond Proceeds: Funds from the new money portion of the bond issue are invested in Federated Government Obligations Fund Institutional Shares through Zions Bank, the General Indenture Trustee. Funds from the refunding money portion of the bond issue are invested in US Treasury securities through Zions Bank, the General Indenture Trustee, until June 30, 2018. On July 1, 2018, the funds will be used to call bonds from the 2008 Series C and 2008 Series D bond issues. The attached Exhibit 1 contains a table summarizing more detailed information about the 2018 Series A bond as well as bond issue characteristics from other recent single family issuances for comparative purposes. Following Exhibit 1 is a comprehensive in-depth “Post-Sale Analysis” prepared by MFA’s Financial Advisor, CSG Advisors.

***The bond allocation system that is followed is common in the investment banking industry and is as follows:
The lead manager keeps track of when the orders are received which is referred to as an order flow tracking system.
The bond allocation system also dictates that Bonds are awarded to managers prior to any selling group members
even though group members may have entered orders first. In-state retail orders receive first priority, followed by
orders for the benefit of the group which are allocated by management fee percentage; next are net designated orders
placed through the senior manager where the buyer designates the sales credit to specific managers, and finally,
member orders receive the lowest priority.

POST-SALE ANALYSIS
KEY RESULTS FOR MFA Purpose. This transaction is a traditional single-family bond issue with semi-annual interest and principal, though bonds are redeemed quarterly. Its purpose, like similar prior issues and monthly pass-through bond issues is to finance new loan production at as close to the maximum spread permitted by the IRS as possible while also refunding existing bonds to a significantly lower interest rate. Additionally, this transaction reallocates zero participation loans from prior series (2017 Series B) within the required time of 18 months for which to reallocate loans. Approach and Strategy. Periodically, MFA has used traditional bond structures—such as 2016 Series A in the spring of 2016, 2016 Series C in the fall of 2016, 2017 Series B in the fall of 2017, and now 2018 Series A —to finance new production coupled with refunding older bonds in conjunction with the new issue. An important reason for using a traditional bond structure for 2018A is to refund 2008C and 2008D on a tax-exempt basis which will allow MFA to finance more newly financed MBS on its balance sheet through bond issuance than it could without the subsidy generated by the refunding. Using this traditional structure on 2018A is therefore important to MFA’s ongoing financing program. By carrying forward the zero participations, MFA is able to help protect itself against interest rate risk on the portion of its loan pipeline that it chooses to finance with bonds in the future. From a strategic point of view, MFA has been:
1. Reserving loans each week since early February 2018; taking into account current expected rates on a traditional bond structure,
2. Issuing bonds when those loans are packaged into mortgage-backed securities several months later, and
3. Protecting itself against rates rising before bonds are sold, by using zero participation interest subsidies it has earned from past transactions.
Primary Objectives. MFA therefore has three primary objectives:
1. Finance existing production at the lowest yield possible,
2. Use as few of MFA’s approximately $7 million of zero participations (prior to issuing 2018A) as possible to achieve full spread, thus preserving more zero participations for future production, and
3. Raise bond premium so as to purchase the MBS from the servicer at 101%, to fund cash flow lag, and to fund a portion of the negative arbitrage and costs of issuance of the transaction.
Structure. The 2018 Series A bonds:
• Included bond proceeds sufficient to finance $50,000,000 of new pipeline production and provide sufficient proceeds to use and store zero participations,
• Included $12,000,000 in proceeds to refund prior MFA bonds (2008 Series C and Series D) that are
NM MFA 2018 Series A Post-Sale Analysis Page 2 of 5
optionally callable on July 1, 2018,
• Were structured with serials (both AMT and Non-AMT), term bonds and Planned Amortization Class (PAC) bonds,
• Sold the PAC bonds with a total premium of $1,760,160, which provides additional funds to purchase the MBS as well as fund a majority of the costs of issuance,
• Were priced 5 weeks prior to closing, enabling MFA to finance more of its pipeline production and lock in rates sooner, thus reducing both interest rate risk and negative arbitrage,
• Allowed for either GNMA or FNMA MBS depending on MFA’s loan pipeline,
• Provided MFA with an optional par call in just over 9 years if it proves profitable to redeem the bonds in the future,
• In combination with Authority funds, deposited $500,000 in a negative arbitrage account for securities – including those to be financed by the zero participations – that had not yet been originated by bond closing. We expect most or all of these funds to be transferred back to MFA after 2018A is fully originated which is expected to occur in July 2018.
Results. The bond structure consisted of four major components: non-AMT serial bonds of Series A-1, non-AMT term bonds of Series A-1, a non-AMT premium PAC bond of Series A-1, and AMT serial bond for all of Series A-2. Investor interest for the PAC bonds was very strong, with 7 total orders (including 3 for all) totaling $121.5 million (4.3x subscribed) for the $28.5 million PAC bonds. As a result, the yield on the PAC bonds was reduced by 0.03%. 1. Yields. The bond yield (true interest cost) was 3.32% assuming 100% FHA prepayments on new
loans and 12-month historic PSA speed on the transferred mortgage certificates.
2. Use of Zero Participations. In order to achieve full spread, 2018A created approximately $3.2 million in zeros, leaving $10.3 million in zeros for future bond issues (assuming participation with future issue in 12 months).
3. Net Economic Benefits. The transaction’s projected net present value before zeros was $2.2 million at 150% PSA prepayment speed. Including the zeros consumed the net present value was $3.5 million, or approximately 5.7% of the bonds issued.
Bond Results. Following are key highlights: 1. Timing. The bonds were priced on Tuesday, April 3rd with a retail order period the morning of the
3rd and an institutional order period that afternoon.
During the pricing, the Treasury market was stable, closing at 2.77% on the 10 year Treasury on Tuesday, 0.03% higher than the 2.74% yield the day prior. The municipal market in terms of MMD rates was adjusted higher by 0.01 to 0.02% higher on Tuesday, April 3rd. See “Market Details” below for a full description of the market leading up to the pricing date.
2. Retail Interest. A separate 2.5-hour retail order period was established with first priority to orders from New Mexico retail investors and second priority to national retail investors. This resulted in $22.4 million of retail orders representing a 58% increase in retail orders compared to 2017B, and
NM MFA 2018 Series A Post-Sale Analysis Page 3 of 5
significantly greater than the retail orders achieved in 2016C and 2016A ($9.9 million and $6.6 million of total retail orders, respectively). The orders were particularly strong across the 2033 and 2043 term bonds, as well as the shorter A-1 non-AMT serial bonds. Of the $7.5 million of non-AMT serial bonds, a total of $14.4 million of retail orders were received. This was significantly better than serial bond orders on previous transactions and resulted in reducing the bond coupons by 0.05% for $2.43 million of the non-AMT serial bonds from July 2027 through July 2029. Appetite for the A-2 AMT serial bonds was lighter, with $1.6 million in retail orders. The last three serial bonds were not fully subscribed and as such, their rate was increased by 0.05%. Overall, this was the strongest retail participation for MFA’s bonds in several years.
3. Institutional Interest. There was strong institutional interest in the $28.5 million in PAC bonds as noted above, with the PAC Bonds subscribed at 4.3 times ($121.5 million in orders). Due to the oversubscription, the PAC bonds were lowered in yield by 3 basis points. In addition, institutions came in with orders totaling $55.3 million for the (4) term bonds, such that combined with retail orders, the term bonds well all oversubscribed at levels from 2.4 times to 2.9 times.
4. Selling Group. To enhance the order flow particularly with retail investors, four selling group members were included in the underwriting syndicate for 2018A. Selling group members included D.A. Davidson, Fidelity Capital Markets, Stifel Nicholas, and a new addition, UBS. See below for orders and allotments from the selling group, of which Fidelity brought the most orders to the issuance:
RETAIL ORDERS BY SELLING GROUP MEMBER (THOUSANDS):
Selling Group Member Orders Allotments D.A. Davidson & Company $ 1,385 $ 590 Fidelity Capital Markets 3,900 3,080 Stifel Nicolaus 1,620 275 UBS 1,030 845 TOTAL $ 7,935 $ 4,790
The selling group was very helpful to the issuance in terms of generating additional retail interest, with Fidelity accounting for 50% of the orders.
5. Comparable Transactions. The 2018A PAC bonds, the 2033 term bond, and the 2038 term bond
priced very well compared to other HFA issues in the market. The 2043 and 2048 term bonds were priced at slightly wider spreads, while the serials bonds were largely in-line or lower than comparable issues. The most direct comparable for the 2018A-1 (non-AMT) bonds was Iowa’s $38.8 million non-AMT issue that priced the day prior. All of MFA’s serials bonds as well as the 2033 term bond and PAC bond priced at yields equal to or lower than those achieved by Iowa. The spread to MMD achieved for MFA’s PAC bonds (+60 to MMD) was the lowest spread we’ve seen in several months. Iowa did not have a 2043 or 2048 term bond, but Montana priced similar maturing bonds in late-March at spreads to MMD of +90, of which MFA’s bonds were priced at the same coupon, but at 0.04% higher spreads to MMD.
The latest AMT issuance from HFAs was New York (SONYMA) in late-February. MFA’s serials bonds were priced at spreads at or slightly higher than SONYMA’s transactions, despite NY’s specialty state muni status that gives it a greater advantage in achieving lower yields. See Section 3 for detailed pricing comparables of all recent tax-exempt traditional bond issues priced around 2018 Series A.

MARKET DETAILS Key Dates: Pricing Date: Tuesday, April 3rd, 2018
Closing Date: Thursday, May 10th, 2018 Economic Calendar. Two weeks prior to the sale, the Federal Reserve announced, as expected, its first interest rate hike of the year. This had already been fully anticipated by the market and did not create any major market changes. Several Federal Reserve officials have continued speeches indicating that the Fed will likely raise short-term rates another 2 to 3 times throughout 2018. In the week before the sale, economic indices came in much as anticipated, including initial and continuing jobless claims, leading indicators, and new home sales. On Monday prior to the sale, the ISM manufacturing index was released and indicated slightly weaker factory activity than forecast. On Tuesday, the day of pricing, the Redbook retail store activity results were released and indicated same store sales up 4.4% year-on-year in the March 31 week, showing the strongest growth of the year. This helped drive yields modestly higher on April 3rd. Treasuries. The 10-year Treasury started the year at 2.46%, an increase of 0.41% from early September 2017. Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields have consistently trended higher this year, topping out at 2.94% on February 21, rising from the year’s low in early January. Faster growth, the risk of some amount of inflation and Fed tightening have been the driving themes, pushing up Treasury rates and worrying stock markets. December’s federal tax changes and recent proposals for increased fiscal stimulus and federal budget deficits have been keys to this shift in investor outlook. Since February 21st, the 10-year UST declined from a 2.94% to a 2.78% yield on the day of pricing 2018A. Concerns over trade wars, tariffs, and increased government regulation of technology companies sparked flights to safety in the capital markets, causing yields to decline. Municipals. While municipal bond yields generally closely track the movements in Treasury yields, the relationship has been distorted by high profile municipal credit events (Puerto Rico’s problems, most recently) and international investment flows, as well as supply and demand for municipal bonds. Municipals have slightly outperformed Treasuries since December, in part because of the lack of supply in the municipal market. The municipal volume was very high at the end of the year as issuers sought to meet end of the year deadlines in the proposed tax bill, including the end of advance refundings. The result has been modest levels of new issuance in early 2018. Two unanticipated impacts post-tax law changes have been: 1) positive inflows to municipal mutual funds each week in 2018, and 2) continued buying by insurance companies, despite a record catastrophe year in 2017 and the reduction in federal corporate tax rates. Additional factors include:
• Through April 13, 2018, new muni bond issuance is down 19% compared to the same period last year.
• Positive net mutual fund inflows since January 2018 have helped to absorb new issue supplies and kept muni yields improving relative to treasuries. Year-to-date, municipal bond funds have received $6.5 billion in net investment.
• Spreads relative to treasuries remain compressed due to the absolute low level of rates. o Despite recent improvement (see Table 1 below), the ratios of the 10- and 30-year MMD
indices to their respective treasury bond yields still remain above their long term historical averages of around 80%.

UNDERWRITING Underwriter. RBC Capital Markets served as senior managing underwriter and Raymond James as co-manager. As described above, we also had a four firm selling group. Underwriting Fees. The underwriter discount of $6.64 per $1,000 bonds is reasonable compared to other similarly sized issues in the market. Performance. RBC Capital Markets as book-running senior manager and Raymond James as co-manager worked well together and achieved good order flow as described above. The strong order flow was evidenced by the ability to: 1) produce sufficient orders for all term bonds, 2) reduce the yield of the PAC bond, and 3) generate the most retail orders ($22.5 million) than MFA has seen in several years. The four firm selling group also enhanced the sale of the bonds by bringing in an additional $7.9 million in retail orders. We would recommend a selling group on the next traditional bond issuance as well.

For the seven‐month period ended April 30, 2018
SIGNIFICANT MONTHLY/QUARTERLY FINANCIAL VARIANCES:Staff does have concerns over the subserviced portfolio increased delinquency rates. The Compliance Officer and Director of Servicing are closely monitoring collections and
foreclosure services provided by MFA's subservicer.
CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL TRENDS & VARIANCES:
In comparison to FY2017 trends indicate improved production and prepayments as well as gains in return on average earning assets, interest margin andMoody's ratios.TBA transaction fees are currently exceeding budget by approximately $2.6 mm or 174% due to production trends. This additional revenue is offset by related lender compensation expense which is exceeding budget by $.5 mm or 58%. During this fiscal year there have been large swings in the State Investment Counsel (SIC) fair market values (FMV) on the General Fund investment portfolio.
Changes in valuations have ranged from $.7 mm in gains and $.9 mm in losses. MFA classifies FMV adjustments on this portfolio as non‐opertaing gains/losses. Servicing expansion continues to provide additional revenues as the subserviced portfolio and purchased servicing rights asset bases increase. This fiscal year MFA is providing a full mortgage warehouse line to Idaho Housing through the FHLB Loans Held for Sale program which will also provide additional revenues.The Loan Loss Reserve (LLR) was increased for Commonweal by $.2 mm based on new broker opinion of value information obtained. The total LLR for Commonwealas of April 30, 2018 is now approximately $.5 mm. In March 2018 staff performed the semi‐annual analysis and adjustment of the down payment assistance loan loss reserves for all 1st mortgages in foreclosure and non‐performing down payment assistance loans. This represented loan loss expense in March 2018 of approximately $.3 mm.Incurred $552k in single family bond cost of issuance expense for 2017 Series B. The refunding component of this issue is estimated to generateapproximately $1.4 mm (net present value) of benefit over time to MFA.Fair market value for purchased servicing rights as of March 31, 2018 was $7.9 mm, an increase of approximately $2.6 mm over cost. GASB requires MFA to utilize "lower of costor market" accounting for this asset. Therefore, no valuation adjustments are anticipated. Current purchased servicing rights are recorded at a cost of $5.4 mm as of March 31, 2018. Valuations are obtained on a quarterly basis.Based on Moody’s issuer credit rating scorecard, MFA’s 29.68% net asset ratio (5‐year average), which measures balance sheet strength, indicates a strong and growing level of resources for maintaining HFA's creditworthiness under stressful circumstances (> 20%). The net revenue as a percent of total revenue measures performance and profitability and MFA’s 10.23% ratio (5‐year average) points to a satisfactory profitability with consistent trends (5%‐10% range). Moody's Investor Services issued an updated credit opinion on MFA. They reaffirmed our Aa3 rating. Comments included strong asset to debt ratio, good profitability and low risk profile due to mortgage‐backed security structure, multifamily risk share program and no exposure to variable rate debt.

No public bankin Santa Fe
Santa Fe gave the idea ofestablishing a public bank ashot. But a task force set up byCity Hall has determined that
startup costs, and "daunting legal andregulatory obstacles" would be too muchto overcome."If limited to the city of Santa Fe's
financial assets, the possible benefitsthat a public bank might generate areat best marginal and at worst wouldcarry risk of nonviability because ofthe relatively small scale of the city'sfinancial means," reads a key task forceconclusion.Not to be too harsh here, but the idea
that Santa Fe wasn't big enough to pulloff a public bank by itself seemed fairlyobvious from the beginning, even tothose of us who barely know how to keepenough in a checking account to coverdebit card charges.Former Mayor Javier Gonzales
and supporters, in the wake of thefinancial disasters that caused theGreat Recession, made good argumentsfor cutting out the middleman whenit comes to investing city money andmaking sure it's used locally instead ofbeing part of the portfolio of big bankswhose goals and investment strategiesmight not match Santa Fe's. A publicbank, it was said, would also be morelikely to support and finance local smallbusinesses and community projects.And then there's the scandal that
has engulfed Wells Fargo the city'sbank for years now over fraudulentlysticking it to its own customers bysigning them up for accounts andfinancial services they never agreed to.There was support on the City Councilfor dumping Wells Fargo when thebanking contract came up for renewallast year, but the megabank with thesullied reputation was the only bidderwith the wherewithal to handle thecity's money.The push for a public bank in Santa
Fe was impressive. A community group,Banking on New Mexico, establisheda website that is better than mostnewspapers' to promote the idea andprovide information. A symposium withinternational representation was heldin 2014.The website includes endorsements
from many Santa Feans, including onewho became mayor in March."Santa Fe and New Mexico are in
serious trouble losing jobs, losingopportunities, losing people, losingopportunities for a better future," saysthe endorsement statement from AlanWebber."It's the kind of crisis that reminds
me of 1932, when Franklin Rooseveltstepped into the White House in a timeof dire national economic danger andbegan to try things, to experiment, tothink differently. That's what we need todo! We need to have the courage to try apublic bank for Santa Fe, to support ourown small and mediumsize businesses,to jump start jobs and economic activityin our own community. Doing nothingis not an option. Working together is theway to find our way forward."A public bank may seem like a radical
idea. But Exhibit A for advocates forpublic banking comes from the nonradical upper Midwest the Bank ofNorth Dakota, started in 1919 and stillthe country's only public bank.The Bank of North Dakota describes
itself as working with private financialinstitutions, not as a competitor. It doesmakes cheap loans to students, farmers,businesses and homebuyers. As of 2017,the Bank of North Dakota had assetsof $7 billion with net earnings of $145million. Over a decade through 2014, itreturned $300 million to North Dakota'sgeneral fund.The city also heard from an expert
from Germany, who described howsmall, public, community banks havelong been part of the country with
Europe's largest economy.Local bankers remember, Santa
Fe already has hometown communitybanks that are viable alternativesto the national giants questionwhat problems a public bank wouldsolve. Would a Santa Fe public bank,responsible for stewardship of publicmoney, really take on more risk forsmall loans than local communitybanks already do?And New Mexico has agencies like
the New Mexico Finance Authority andthe state Mortgage Finance Authority that plug financing gaps for publicprojects. Santa Fe borrowed from theFinance Authority when it purchasedthe campus of the former College ofSanta Fe in 2009.In any case, the city task force is
now recommending that Santa Fe bepart of an effort to establish a publicBank of New Mexico. "We believethis more appropriate statewide scalewould justify work needed to amendthe current legal and regulatoryrestrictions," the task force report says.City Councilor Renee Villareal, who
helped lead the effort to study publicbanking, said she remained encouraged."I'm not forgetting about the public bankeffort," she said.Getting serious consideration of a
state public bank at the Roundhousewon't be easy, nor should it be. It's thekind of idea that would need years ofcareful study of costs and benefits. Also,any public bank proposal has to includean absolute firewall to protect againstthe kinds of political shenanigans thatNew Mexico has seen too much of.But creating a public Bank of New
Mexico is not something that shouldbe dismissed out of hand. New Mexicocould use something like that $30million or so a year that the NorthDakota bank returned to the generalfund.

Fernando and Lilia Santana wereuncertain about becoming homeowners.The couple started off with what
they described as a "tiny house" beforethey purchased their current home inLoving about 35 years ago.
"I never thought that we were goingto have a house," Lilia Santana said.
"Me and him, we said 'Can we makeit?' I said, 'Let's do it one day at a time,one year at a time. And we made it."The couple said homeownership is
challenging but advised that peopleshould not buy a home outside of theirfinancial budget."If you can afford a fourbedroom
house, you can buy it," Fernando Santana said.
In response to growing demands forhousing in Carlsbad and Eddy County,Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway and U.S.Sen. Martin Heinrich hosted the Carlsbad Housing Summit Wednesday.The summit included nine speakers
who discussed the current housing developments and information on mortgages."We want to make sure we're doing
what we can to ensure we have adequate residential facilities for everyone," said Eddie Rodriguez, CarlsbadCity Council member and mayor protem. "Economic growth is a greatthing, but resolving this issue is critical to protecting the quality of life inCarlsbad."
Rodriguez said the Blue RibbonCommission was developed by themayor's office to address "all needs inall areas," such as housing."We're working towards determin
ing the difference in permanent andtemporary employees, and the different kinds of housing that will be needed in addition to infrastructure needs,"said Rodriguez, who is cochair of theBlue Ribbon Commission.In a video shown at the summit,
Heinrich said, "We must all do our partto ensure all families in Carlsbad havean affordable place to call home."Jeff Patterson, director of the city's

HousingContinued from Page 1APlanning, Engineering and RegulationDepartment, said the high demand forhousing resulted from growth in the oiland gas industry, and a subsequent influx of workers into Carlsbad.He said various building develop
ments, such as multifamily and singlefamily housing units, are ongoing or inthe process of starting.The city, he said, is also monitoring
man camps that are developed aroundthe city for temporary workers."We haven't seen this type of devel
opment in this town for some decades,but with the oil and gas industry, it really hit us. I think that the town and thedevelopers that are involved are reallyresponding," Patterson said.In the meantime, the high demand
for housing resulted in an increase in
apartment and hotel rates, said SusanCrockett, chair of the Eddy CountyBoard of County Commissioners.The lack of housing, she said, also
makes it difficult for employers to hirepeople.Crockett said that many units are
currently 90 to 100 percent occupied,and apartment rates reached about$1,000 for a onebedroom unit in 2017.

"It (new housing) brings in morefamilies and helps keep the wagesearned by the workforce here in NewMexico and in Eddy County. It brings ingross receipts tax, which only helps usimprove our roads and infrastructureand other needs for the county as wellas the city," Crockett said."It provides other potential employ
ees to staff the many open jobs in ourcommunity."Crockett said the county applied for
grant funding, aiming to have the county considered an "opportunity zone,"potentially leading to tax advantages toattract capital investment into "economically distressed areas."
"I think that open dialogue discussions like this summit and the mayor'shousing committee are the steps thatwe need in Eddy County to move forward with our housing needs as ourcounty's industry tends to grow," shesaid.State and regional representatives
with the New Mexico Mortgage FinanceAuthority, Southwestern RegionalHousing and Community Development,Eastern Regional Housing Authorityand New Mexico Manufactured Housing Association discussed optionsavailable for residents looking to finance a home."You don't want people to change a
mortgage payment because you're set
ting them up to fail, and that's the worsething you can do for a community is putpeople in homes and they can't affordit," said Suzie Nance, president of theNew Mexico Mortgage Lenders Association.Judy Mullins, of Artesia, said al
though there was important information provided for residents, she wishedmore people were present at the event.Roughly 70 people, including ven
dors, attended the summit."I think a lot of what they talked
about would have helped a lot of people," Mullins said.

PRIMARY ELECTION 2018
Tackle toughissues head onNew Mexicans deserve better health care,education, infrastructure and economyBY BILLY G. GARRETTDEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
On June 5, N.M. Democrats willelect a slate of leaders committed togetting our state and country back ontrack. When it comes to choosing theparty's contender for lieutenant governor, I am the best candidate for twoimportant reasons.First, I am the only candidate for
lieutenant governor who is calling fortransformational change to improveliving conditions and expand opportu
nities for all New Mexicans.The status quo is not working. Over 20 percent of our
residents live in poverty. Ten percent of New Mexicanslack access to health care. Our teachers are underpaid,and many schools are in disrepair. Our unemploymentis one of the highest in the nation.Tinkering around the edges will not get us there. New
Mexicans deserve affordable and accessible health care,a firstclass public education system, uptodate infrastructure and a robust economy. And we cannot do anyof this at the expense of the environment.The only way to address these issues is to tackle them
at the same time. All are important; all are interconnected. Change to one system will affect all the others.Progress is incremental, so it will be important to getthe most out of each step while staying on course.My career includes extensive experience with stra
tegic planning, community development and organizational change. The framework of transformationalchange and its associated values will help thegovernor and legislators pursue shortterm objectiveswithout losing track of longterm goals.The other candidates for lieutenant governor are
focused on a few specific issues. I offer a broader andmore inclusive perspective.The second reason I am the best candidate is that I
am the only one committed to maximizing the uniquepotential of this position. Others talk about the lieutenant governor position as if it were legislative or administrative in nature. It is not. Nor is the position equal tothat of the governor, in any sense, unless the governoris out of state or the seat becomes vacant.The lieutenant governor has a workload based on
statutory responsibilities, standing within the executivebranch and personal initiative.Based on statute, the incumbent serves as president
of the Senate and sits on eight boards or commissions.All these positions are important and would receive myattention. My work in southern New Mexico and interest in affordable housing has prepared me especiallywell to serve on the Border and Spaceport authoritiesas well as the Mortgage Finance Authority. And, afternearly eight years as a county commissioner, includingtwoandahalf as chair, I look forward to working withthe Senate.The lieutenant governor also serves as "ombudsman
for the People of New Mexico." To that end, I have suggested the office foster public engagement by all stateagencies, restore the value of mutual respect, and serveas an incubator for solutions to social and environmental justice issues. Years of experience in planning andsocial justice advocacy have prepared me for this role.Moving to less welldefined aspects of the position, it
is important to recognize that the lieutenant governoris the secondhighest elected official in the executivebranch. To improve government services I have proposed establishment of a Center for Excellence underthe lieutenant governor. The center would be a management resource focused on ethics, operational assessments, and crafting of new initiatives.I am wellqualified to lead this effort based on a
diverse career in architecture and organizational management spanning more than 34 years in the publicsector.Finally, I must emphasize the importance of the lieu
tenant governor as a sounding board and representative for the governor. I have worked successfully as adeputy for three senior managers and would welcomethe opportunity to help our next governor in whateverway I can.In conclusion, New Mexico deserves a lieutenant
governor with the experience and vision to use the position as an instrument of change. I am ready for thatchallenge.

Meetingon possibleworkforcehousing firstof manyscheduledDianne L StallingsRuidoso NewsUSA TODAY NETWORK NEW MEXICO
Ruidoso officials expected to seemore people attending a Thursdaymeeting of the Ruidoso WorkforceHousing Advisory Board than show upfor most village council sessions, because the word is circulating that a"lowincome" housing project is slatedfor midtown.While Community Development
Director Bradford Dyjak said Wednesday that he welcomed the public's interest, he emphasized that the projectis aimed at gainfully employed resi
dents and that many more meetings lieahead before a recommendation issent to the council."This particular program is for the
workforce," he said. "They have to begainfully employed or retired, have toclear background checks and submitto inspections by the managementcompany. This is not your traditionalpublic housingtype program, not avoucher basis. This is designed forfolks who meet a percentage of themedian income and have gainful em
ployment. And we still are identifyingsites and feasibility. This is only one."The board met at 2 p.m., Thursday,
in council chambers at village hall andremained in session at press time. Theboard was tasked by the council to assist the village in administering its affordable housing program, advocaterelevant workforce housing opportunities and to make policy recommendations to the council on those mat

ters, Dyjak said.The Affordable Housing Plan was
adopted in 2015, and identified an immediate shortage of more than 500 affordable workforcetype units for thosewho need good homes, but cannot afford the rentals in Ruidoso, he said."We're forcusing on housing for the
service sectors, public servants, teachers, police, fire, nurses and workers inprofessional settings too," Dyjak said."The intent is to try to find balanced solutions to accommodate those folkswith wellrespected jobs, but because ofour demographics and the fact that wefrom 50 percent to 60 percent of ourhomes are not owner occupied, they aresecond or third homes. It certainly inflates housing costs."
The village is interested in identyfingpotential opportunities to offset thatimbalance, he said. One particular pro
gram the village is exploring has beensuccessful in other communities. It is ahousing tax credit program administered by the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority, as one of several potential tools that could accomplish thegoals of the workforce housing plan."We're in the due diligence and ex
ploration phase at this point in regardsto this particular project," Dyjak said. "Ifit were to be approved, it would involvea publicprivate partnership with thevillage, potentially the Eastern RegionalHousing Authority and the developerthey have contracted wth. The benefit ofsuch a program is limited financial investment by the local government. Itprimarily is investordriven through thetax credit program."We are exploring sites and one dis
cussed is the Midtown Commons site
bounded by the new parking lot, NorthGrindstone, Wingfield Street and ChaseStreet."Such projects typically are composed
of from 60 to 70 units, but smaller clusters have been built, he said. Aboutthree acres of the original five acres purchased by the village for the parking lotremain available.
The meeting Thursday is far from thelast on the project, Dyjak said."There will be a series of meetings in
June to engage with concerned citizens,especially those in the neighborhood,and that will come before any recommendation to the council," he said."We're aware the Memorial Day holidaymay not be the best time to ensure everyone interested can attend. We'll havemore details in June. Thursday won't bethe only opportunity."

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a stakeholder announcement March 21 on proposed changes to eligibility of certain rural areas. The USDA released proposed ineligible area maps for the rural development, single-family housing and multifamily housing programs. The new ineligible areas were effective June 4. After the effective date, all properties for new applications must be located in an eligible rural area based on the new maps. However, a property that is located in an area being changed from rural to non-rural may be approved if the application is dated and received by the lender before June 4 and the loan estimate was issued by the lender within three days of application receipt; the applicant has a signed/ratified sales contract on a property that is dated before June 4; and the applicant meets all other loan eligibility requirements.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Rep. Ann Kuster, D-N.H., introduced March 20 S 2574 and HR 5352, respectively, to provide rental assistance to low-income tenants of certain multifamily rural housing developments. The two bills were introduced as companion bills under the Rural Housing Preservation Act of 2018. The bills would help preserve affordable housing in rural communities by offering several provisions that extend rental assistance for the rural development (RD) rental housing programs of the USDA. The bills propose to allow the RD Section 521 rental assistance to be decoupled from the mortgage, allowing Section 521 rental assistance. The bills would also offer an RD Section 542 preservation voucher to households living on properties with maturing Section 515 or 514 mortgages. The bills would also ensure that RD policies are better aligned with the LIHTC program. Lastly, the bills would permanently authorize the multifamily housing revitalization program. S 2574 and HR 5352 are available at www.taxcredithousing.com.

TO: Participating Lenders FROM: Rene Acuna, Director of Homeownership DATE: May 16, 2018 RE: Memo No. 18-08
Increased volume and MFA Compliance turn times
Thanks to our participating lenders, MFA’s Reservation/Compliance volume has increased to new record highs. Despite increased volume, The Homeownership Department is currently holding to the three business day turn time of Compliance File receipt to review times. Due
to the increased volume, it is possible that turn times may exceed three
days. The turn times for clearing conditions after initial compliance review is currently:
loans with five or more conditions will be cleared within two business days of receipt
loans with less than five conditions will be cleared within one business day of receipt
Due to the increased volume, it is possible that turn times for clearing conditions will exceed the outlined timeframes above.
Please allow additional time on MFA loans for review and closing. MFA will adhere to its current policies and procedures. Please be advised regarding the following:
Loans are reviewed and cleared in the order, which they are received. MFA will no longer accept rush requests, no exceptions.
Inquiries about a file in process must be limited to relevant changes. Staff will not respond to inquiries regarding review timeframes on a particular file. MFA assures you that we are working diligently to review everyone’s files as quickly as possible. Unnecessary inquires only delay the review workflow for all participating lenders.
How can participating lenders assist?
Please exercise additional due diligence by reviewing all documents before submitting the file to MFA for review. An accurate and clean file submission will not only expedite the approval process but will ensure a timely closing.
Please review suspense conditions thoroughly and completely prior to contacting MFA for clarification. MFA staff provides specific condition descriptions and expectations in the suspense letters.
Thank you for participating in MFA’s program. Should you have any questions, please contact an MFA Homeownership Representative.

Housing Assistance Council- Expanding Access to Homeownership in Indian Country: Exploring the
Challenges and Opportunities This webinar will present the data findings from HAC's most recent publication,
Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities for Mortgage Finance in Indian Country. In
addition to findings, the discussion will touch on the historic and social factors that
have helped create the constrained mortgage lending environment on reservation
lands. Recommendations to address the barriers and improve access to mortgage
lending on Native American lands will also be featured. A practitioner in the field will
provide an overview of practices that have worked and how those actions can be
improved.
Register for this webinar at http://www.ruralhome.org/calendar/upcoming-events
HAC's analysis confirms mortgage lending activity is constrained on reservations, as
demonstrated by low origination rates and high denial rates. Recommendations focus
on increasing awareness, improving capacity, modifying rules or expanding incentives,
and improving collection and access to data.
