On December 4, 2018, staff notified Jamboree in writing of the award recommendation by theReview Panel, contingent on final approval by the Community Redevelopment and HousingCommission (CRHC) and City Council / Housing Authority ( Exhibit 1). The pre -loan commitment
letter with Jamboree for $ 1, 687,047 in CDBG funds provides the official award from the CityExhibit 2). In compliance the City's Affordable Housing Funds Policies and Procedures, the
City's real estate advisor, Keyser Marston Associates ( KMA), has confirmed the underwriting forthe Project, the financial gap, and other programmatic requirements related to the fundingsources. KMA has reviewed the developer' s estimates and projections of rents, expenses,
reserves and development costs in accordance with industry -standard underwriting guidelinesand recommends the full amount of the award based on their underwriting and subsidy layeringanalysis ( Exhibit 3).
Project Description
Jamboree proposes to acquire the current Budget Inn and Suites, and rehabilitate the
development, adding a community clinic of approximately 4,000 square feet. Jamboree currentlyhas site control through March 2019 via an executed purchase and sale agreement.
The award recommendation for 89 HUD-VASH project -based vouchers and $ 1, 687,047 in CDBG
Program funds will create permanent supportive housing for 89 homeless veterans with wraparound supportive services. Jamboree has adopted a " whatever it takes" model of supporting theneeds of chronically homeless residents, with high success rates at their projects like theRockwood Apartments and Diamond Apartments in Anaheim, and Doria Apartments in Irvine. All
89 units would be targeted to individuals earning no more than 30% of the area median income
that are based on 30% of monthly Supplemental Security Income payments for an individual andassuming the zero -bedroom contract rents based on the 2017 rent schedule. Per the HUD-VASHregulations, this project would be serving individuals that qualify under the McKinney-Ventodefinition of homelessness.

The site is located within the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan Area ("HMUTC").
Jamboree has met with staff from the Planning and Building Agency ( PBA) to determine theviability of the proposed use at this location and the associated development constraints. Furthermore, PBA staff have also presented the preliminary design concept to others in theirdepartment who have indicated conceptual support for the design aesthetic and site plan. This issubject to review of a full submittal, such as was completed for the Santa Ana Veterans Village
SAW') project, similarly located in the HMUTC. From a zoning perspective, the proposed useis allowed under the existing overlay. As plans are developed fully, Jamboree may approach theCity about development incentives; however, discretionary land use approvals should not beneeded.
The current building is about 31, 000 square feet and would include 89 studio units ( estimatedabout 325 square feettunit) to house eligible homeless veteran households referred by theVeterans Affairs Medical Center of Long Beach to the Housing Authority. There would be oneon-site employee unit. The parking count would be 107 spaces. The proposed ingress andegress would be achieved via the current driveway onto Harbor Blvd.
The rehabilitation would include adding kitchenettes in 53 units, full size refrigerators in all units, new flooring and window coverings, repainting interiors, refinishing the existing tub / showers, replacing all angle stops, swapping out all existing fixtures for low flow fixtures, replacing existinglight fixtures with LED fixtures, new dual pane windows, and a host of other items. The existingwater boilers will be swapped out with high efficiency boilers utilizing solar thermal to preheat thewater. As a part of the rehabilitation, Jamboree will undertake a comprehensive analysis to
improve energy efficiency onsite and increase energy efficiency by at least 15% over existing
conditions. All units will be fully furnished, providing a turnkey solution for future residents.
The lynch pin for the service model onsite is the construction of a new clinical space where there
is currently a small pool / spa. Having clinical support in close proximity ensures delivery ofneeded services to the veterans. Much like SAW, Jamboree will have space for a number of
agencies to provide services, such as legal services, job training, and family counseling. Thisproject will also share a similar service model as the SAW, where the Veterans Affairs staff will
provide case management services, but greatly enhanced by staff from Jamboree's CommunityImpact team.
As is essential with any permanent supportive housing project, the wrap-around supportiveservices must integrate effectively with the property management. Jamboree will employ theJohn Stewart Company as the property: manager, as they are one of the largest and mostexperienced operators of special needs housing in the state. It will also allow Jamboree to moreeffectively leverage the relationships they have with various stakeholders at the Veterans Village

project, located about a mile away. The proposed development will be leasing after the SAWproject, so Jamboree will have relevant experience in working with both the VA and County toensure they can lease units quickly.
Jamboree will finance this development using competitive 9% low- income housing tax credits. The 89 VASH vouchers and $ 1, 687,047 in CDBG Program Funds significantly support thecompetitiveness of this project in securing this source of project financing. The project will
require the award of Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention funds from State ofCalifornia Department of Housing and Community Development, which has only one round offunding annually. This will push Jamboree' s 9% tax credit application out to the first round of
2020. At the moment, the capital structure has a 69.62% second tiebreaker score for the
competitive 9% tax credits. This score would be very competitive in the Nonprofit — Homeless
apportionment, as the range of scores for this past round is between 49%- 73%. In this pastround, a 69.62% tiebreaker would have been the second highest tiebreaker in the set-aside; a
70% tiebreaker would have allocated in both the first round of 2018 as well as the second round
of 2017. Similar to SAW, Jamboree will also secure private community foundation loan fromOrange County Community Foundation as well as funding from AHP.
For the development of this project by Jamboree Housing, the Review Panel is recommending anaward of $1, 687,047 in Community Development Block Grant Funds and eighty-nine ( 89) HUD- VASH PBVs following a competitive selection process through RFP # 18-056 in compliance with
the City's Affordable Housing Funds Policies and Procedures. After Jamboree receives an
allocation of low-income housing tax credits for the development of the project, staff will return toCity Council with the loan agreement for an amount not to exceed the funds committed in the pre - loan commitment letter. Please note CDBG program expenditures for FY 2017-18 totaled
approximately $5. 7 million.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal # 5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective # 3 ( Facilitate diverse housing opportunities and supportefforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods), and Strategy CProvide that Santa Ana residents, employees, artists and veterans receive priority for affordable
housing created under the City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance or with City funding to theextent allowed under state law).
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon future approval of the loan agreement, funds in the amount of $1, 687,047 will be available
in the Community Development Block Grant, Loans and Grants account (no. 13518782-69152).
Each project -based voucher is estimated to be valued at $ 10, 550 annually, based on HUD'sinitial award of the vouchers from April 2018. The value of the vouchers on an annual basis
totals $ 938,950. The actual annual expenditure for the eighty-nine vouchers may be differentbased on when the development of the project is completed and the units are leased. Funds will
be budgeted in future fiscal years in the Housing Choice Voucher Program, Housing AssistancePayment account (no. 13618760- 69158).

City of Santa Ana
From: Tim Bretz
Date: February 21, 2019
Subject: Budget Inn: Preliminary Financial Gap Analysis
EXHIBIT 3
At your request, Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. ( KMA) prepared a financial gap analysis
for the project proposed to be developed at 1108 North Harbor Boulevard (Site) by
Jamboree Housing Corporation ( Developer). The Site contains an existing motel whichthe Developer proposes to acquire and convert into a 91 -unit permanent supportive
housing (PSH) apartment project (Project). Eight -nine (89) apartment units will be
restricted to extremely -low households and two units will be unrestricted and reservedfor on- site managers.
The Developer is requesting financial assistance from the City of Santa Ana (City). The
City proposes to utilize Community Development Block Grant Program ( CDBG) funds
which are allocated to the City by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). In addition, the Santa Ana Housing Authority (Authority) proposes
to provide 89 HUD- VASH Project -Based Vouchers ( PBVs) allocated to the Authority by
HUD. The purpose of the KMA analysis is to evaluate the Developer's financial
assistance request.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Estimated Financial Gap
The results of the KMA financial gap analysis are compared to the Developer' s financial
proposal in the following table:
KMA Developer Difference
Total Development Costs $ 29,745, 000 29, 761, 000 16, 000)
Outside Funding Sources ( 28, 075,000) 28, 074,000) 1, 000
Financial Gap $ 1, 670,000 1, 687,000 17,000)
As shown in the preceding table, KMA estimates the Project' s financial gap at $1. 67million. Comparatively, the Developer is requesting $ 1. 69 million in financial assistance
from the City. This differential can be considered inconsequential. However, it is
important to note that the KMA and Developer estimates differ on a line item by lineitem basis. In addition, KMA has concerns regarding the proposed social servicesbudget.
Proposed Funding Sources
The following summarizes the proposed funding sources for the Project:
1.
2.
3.
4.
KMA estimates that the Project' s net operating income (NOI) can support a
6.40 million permanent loan.
The Developer is proposing to apply for 9% Federal Low Income Housing Tax
Credits (Tax Credits) that are competitively awarded by the California Tax Credit
Allocation Committee (TCAC). The net Tax Credit proceeds are estimated at
15.59 million.
The Developer is proposing to apply for a $ 1. 50 million loan from the Orange
County Community Foundation (OCCF).
The Developer is proposing to apply for a loan of $3. 56 million from the Veterans
Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program (VHHP).

5. The Developer is proposing to apply for a loan of $890,000 in Affordable Housing
Program (AHP) funds awarded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.
6. The Developer is proposing to defer $139, 000 of the Developer Fee that is
included in the Project' s development costs. The deferred amount will be repaid
from the cash flow generated from the Project over time.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed scope of development can be described as follows:
1. The Site is comprised of 1. 79 acres, or 77, 972 square feet of land area.
2. The 91 -unit Project represents a density of 50 units per acre.
3. The Project will include 89 studio units, one (1) one -bedroom unit, and one (1)
two-bedroom unit.
4. The Project will include 89 PSH units which will be restricted to households
earning no more than 30% of the Tax Credit Median.
5. The Project will include two unrestricted units reserved for on- site managers.
6. The Project will include a 4,000 square foot medical clinic.
7. The Project will include 107 surface parking spaces.
FINANCIAL GAP ANALYSIS
KMA prepared a pro forma analysis to estimate the Project' s financial gap. The analysis
is located at the end of this memorandum, and is organized as follows:

Estimated Development Costs (Table 1)
KMA reviewed the Developer' s February 14, 2019 pro forma and then independentlyprepared a pro forma analysis of the Project. The resulting development costs areestimated as follows:
Property Assemblage Costs
The following summarizes the property assemblage costs:
1. The Developer proposes to purchase the property for $15. 09 million, or
165, 800 per unit. The Developer did not provide an appraisal for review. The
KMA analysis will need to be revised if the appraised value differs from the
proposed purchase price.
2. It should be noted that the Developer does not anticipate any relocation costsfor the Project, and a relocation plan was not provided for review. This analysis
will need to be revised if the Project is ultimately subject to any relocationexpenses.
3. The closing costs are estimated at $25, 000, or less than 1% of the proposed
purchase price.
The total property assemblage costs are estimated at $15. 11 million.
Direct Costs
The direct cost estimates assume that the Project will be subject to Federal Davis Bacon
and/ or State of California prevailing wage requirements. The direct costs applied in this
analysis can be summarized as follows:
The Developer assumes that the Project will not be required to complete any off-
site improvements. City staff should verify the accuracy of this assumption.
2. The Developer estimates the residential rehabilitation costs at approximately5. 20 million, or $57, 100 per unit. The Developer has not completed a physical
needs assessment nor finalized the scope of rehabilitation. The KMA analysis
will need to be revised if the residential rehabilitation costs differ than the
estimates provided by the Developer for this analysis.

3. The Developer estimates the costs to build out the clinic space at $1. 20 million,
or $300 per square foot of clinic GBA. This estimate assumes a full build -out of
the clinic space including both shell costs and tenant improvement costs.
4. The Developer included a $ 512,000 allowance for furnishings, fixtures and
equipment, which assumes that all of the affordable units are fully furnished.
5. The contractor costs are estimated as follows:
a. An 11% allowance for contractor fees and general requirements is
provided.
b. An allowance for construction bonds/ general liability insurance at 2% of
construction costs is provided.
6. A direct cost contingency allowance equal to 10% of other direct costs is
provided.
KMA estimates the total direct costs at $8.48 million. This equates to $93, 200 per unit.
Indirect Costs
KMA utilized the following assumptions in estimating the indirect costs:
1. The architecture, engineering and consulting costs are estimated at 8% of direct
costs.
2. The construction management fee is estimated at $100,000.
3. The Developer estimated the public permits and fees costs at $570, 000, or
6, 300 per unit. City staff should verify the accuracy of this estimate.
4. The taxes, insurance, legal and accounting costs are estimated at 3% of direct
costs.
An approximately $1, 200 per unit allowance for marketing and leasing costs isprovided.
6. The Developer set the Developer Fee at $ 1. 71 million, which is equal to the
maximum amount allowed by TCAC.

7. An indirect cost contingency equal to 10% of other indirect costs is provided.
KMA estimates the total indirect costs at $3. 77 million.
Financing Costs
The financing costs for the Project are estimated as follows:
1. The construction period and absorption period interest costs are estimated at
1. 64 million. These costs are based on the following assumptions:
a. The construction period interest costs are based on a 5. 0% interest rate,
a 13 -month construction period, and a 65% average outstanding balance.
The absorption period interest costs are based on a seven- month
absorption period with a 100% average outstanding balance.
2. The construction loan and permanent loan financing fees are estimated as at 1. 0point.
3. A $ 320,000 capitalized operating reserve is provided. This equates to three
months of operating expenses and debt service payments.
4. The Tax Credit fees are estimated at $104,000 based on the followingassumptions:
a. A $ 2,000 application fee;
b. A $410 per unit monitoring fee; and
C. Four percent (4%) of gross Tax Credit proceeds for one year.
KMA estimates the total financing costs at $2. 38 million.
Total Development Costs
As shown in Table 1, KMA estimates the total development costs at $29. 75 million, or
326,900 per unit. This is approximately $16,000 less than the Developer' s estimate,
which can be considered an insignificant difference.

Stabilized Net Operating Income (Table 2)
The Project' s funding sources include Tax Credits, VHHP funds, and CDBG funds. Theseprograms all publish the applicable income limits for households that are qualified to
reside in the development.
TCAC publishes rent standards for projects that receive Tax Credits. HCD publishes
regulations regarding the applicable rents for projects with VHHP funds, and HUD defersto HOME Program rents for projects with CDBG funds. The Developer will be required
to adhere to the strictest of the standards imposed by the funding sources contributed
to the Project.
Tenant -Paid Rents
The rents used in this analysis are based on 2018 income and rent information published
by TCAC and the HOME Program. The maximum allowable rents, net of the appropriate
utility allowances, are estimated as follows:
Rent Restriction) Studio
Tax Credit @ 30% Median $ 574
VHHP @ 30% Median $ 574
CDBG @ Low HOME $ 913
30% SSI $ 273
Applicable Rent $ 273
The Authority will provide HUD-VASH PBVs for the 89 income -restricted units. The PBV
payments are based on the difference between the rent paid by the tenant and the fair
market rent (FMR) approved by HUD. The 2019 FMR for a studio unit is set at $ 1, 387per unit per month.
For the purposes of underwriting, the rents for the PSH units are set at the lesser of 30% of SSI and therent restrictions imposed by the funding sources.

Estimated Effective Gross Income
KMA estimates the Project' s effective gross income at $ 1. 34 million based on the
following:
1. The gross tenant -paid rents are estimated to total $291,600.
2. The gross HUD- VASH PBV subsidy is estimated to total $1. 19 million.
3. Laundry and miscellaneous income is estimated to average $ 9 per unit per
month, or $9, 800 per year.
4. A 10% vacancy and collection allowance is provided.
Estimated Operating Expenses
The operating expenses are estimated at $853,400 based on the following:
The general operating expenses are estimated at $5, 200 per unit per year.
KMA assumes that the Developer will apply for the property tax abatement that
is accorded to non- profit housing organizations that own and operate apartment
units restricted to households earning less than .80% of the area median income.
The property tax assessment overrides are estimated at $7,000 per year.
3. The social service expenses are estimated at $311,500, which equates to $3, 500
per unit. KMA has concerns with the proposed social services budget, which is
discussed in further detail at the end of this memorandum.
4. The VHHP Loan has a required debt service payment equal to 0.42% of the VHHP
Loan amount, which equals $ 15, 000 per year.
5. The replacement reserve deposits are set at $500 per unit per year, which is
required by the VHHP Program.
Estimated Stabilized Net Operating Income
The Project' s EGI is estimated at $1. 34 million, and the operating expense are estimated
at $853,400. This results in estimated stabilized net operating income of $488,700.

Financial Gap Calculation
The financial gap is estimated by deducting the available outside funding sources fromthe Project' s total development costs. The outside funding sources anticipated to be
received by the Project are described in the following sections of this memorandum.
Available Outside Funding Sources
Permanent Loan
To estimate the maximum permanent loan that can be supported by the Project' s NO],
KMA assumed that the loan would underwritten be based on the following
requirements:
1. A 115% debt service coverage ratio;
2. A 5.75% interest rate; and
3. A 35 -year amortization period.
KMA estimates that the Project' s stabilized NOI can support a $ 6. 40 million permanent
loan.
Tax Credit Proceeds
KMA estimates the net Federal Tax Credit proceeds at $15. 59 million. This estimate is
calculated based on the following assumptions:
1. The Project' s eligible Tax Credit basis is equal to the lesser of the depreciable
costs for the 91 Tax Credit units, or the threshold basis limits established by
TCAC. In this case, the depreciable costs are less than the threshold basis limits
as follows:
a. The Project' s acquisition basis is estimated at $ 12.10 million; and
The Project' s construction cost basis is estimated at $12.82 million.
2. To increase the competitiveness of the Project' s Tax Credit application in the
TCAC tiebreaker process, the Developer is proposing to voluntarily exclude $2. 49
million from the Project' s eligible construction cost Tax Credit basis.

Budget Inn: Preliminary Financial Gap Analysis Page 10
The Project is a special needs project, and per TCAC regulations, is allowed to
increase the eligible construction cost Tax Credit basis by 30%.
4. The annual Federal Tax Credit rate is set at 9. 0%. This rate is applied over the
10 -year Federal Tax Credit period.
5. 100% of the Project' s building area that is included in eligible basis is located in
units that qualify for Federal Tax Credits.
6. The net syndication value supported by the Tax Credit is ultimately determined
based on competitive market conditions and on the timing of disbursements.
Based on currently available information, the Developer estimates the proceeds
at $0. 97 per gross Tax Credit dollar.
OCCF Loan
The Developer is proposing to apply for a loan of $1. 50 million from OCCF.
VHHP Loan
The Developer is proposing to apply for a loan of $3. 56 million from the VHHP Program.
AHP Loan
The Developer is proposing to apply for a loan of $890,000 in AHP funds.
Deferred Developer Fee
The Developer is proposing to defer $139, 000, or 8% of the Developer Fee that is
included in the Project' s development costs. The deferred amount will be repaid from
the cash flow generated by the Project overtime.
Total Available Outside Funding Sources
As shown in Table 3, the outside funding sources available to the Project are estimatedat $28.08 million.
Financial Gap Calculation
Based on the preceding analysis, KMA estimates the Project' s financial gap as follows:

28, 075,000)
1, 670,000
18,400
As shown in the preceding analysis, KMA estimates that the Project exhibits a $ 1. 67
million financial gap. In contrast, the Developer is requesting $ 1. 69 million in financial
assistance from the City. This represents a $ 17,000 differential, which is an
approximately 1% difference. It is the KMA opinion that a difference of this magnitudecan be considered insignificant.
SOCIAL SERVICE EXPENSE DISCUSSION
The Developer is currently estimating the social service expenses at $311, 500 per year,
which equates to $3, 500 per affordable unit. This budget assumes one full-time
program manager, two full- time service coordinators, and one part-time peer counselor.
The Developer is proposing to be the social service provider for the Project, and to pay
for 100% of the social service expenses through the Project' s operating income.
In contrast to the Developer' s proposal, other developers typically partner with non-
profit social service providers that obtain funding from other county and state entities
to pay for a portion of the social service costs. Thus, in most instances, the project itself
is not paying for a significant portion of the social service expenses directly out ofproject operations.
As a result, the Developer's proposed social services budget is significantly higher than
the budgets included in recent similar projects that KMA has reviewed in the Southern
California region. For reference purposes, similar projects in Orange County have socialservice budgets that range from $1, 500 to $2, 000 per affordable unit per year.
The inclusion of 100% of the social service expenses in the Project' s operating budget,
reduces the NO[ available to obtain permanent loan proceeds, which in turn increases
the Project' s financial gap. For example, if the social services budget were reduced to178, 000 ($2, 000 per affordable unit per year), the Project' s NO[ could support an
additional $ 1. 75 million in permanent loan proceeds, which would reduce the Project' s

Page 12
financial gap on a dollar -for -dollar basis. In addition, these expenses decrease the
annual cash flow available to repay the City's loan.
KMA and the Developer had lengthy discussions regarding the proposed social services
budget, but were not able come to an agreement. During these discussions, KMAproposed the following structure:
1. The permanent loan may be underwritten based on the Developer' s proposed
social services budget of $3, 500 per affordable unit, or $331,500.
2. However, the automatically approved social services budget will be limited to
2, 000 per affordable unit, or $178, 000.
The remaining $133,500 of the budget ($311,500 - $ 178, 000 = $ 133,500), will be
subject to review and approval by the City each year.
This structure would allow the City to evaluate the level of social services and
corresponding budget on an annual basis. This structure would also allow the City toencourage the Developer to seek out additional social service funds from other entities.
If in any year the City determines that the additional $ 133, 000 is not warranted, it
would result in additional cash flow to the Project that would work its way through the
Project' s cash flow waterfall and ultimately repay the City' s loan sooner thananticipated.
As noted above, KMA discussed this concept with the Developer; however, the
Developer was not amenable to accepting any annual caps on the social services budget
that were less than the proposed $311,500 budget.
CONCLUSIONS/ RECOMMENDATIONS
The following summarizes the conclusions of the KMA analysis:
1. Based on the currently available information, and if it is assumed that the Cityapproves a $ 311,500 per year social services budget, it is KMA' s conclusion that
the Developer' s request for $1. 69 million in City assistance and 89 HUD-VASH
PBVs is supported by the Project economics.

80B-30 19090.017.009
Judson Brown, City of Santa Ana February 21, 2019
Budget Inn: Preliminary Financial Gap Analysis Page 13
2. However, KMA does not recommend that the City approve the social services
budget as proposed. Instead, KMA recommends the following structure:
The permanent loan may be underwritten based on the Developer' s
proposed social services budget of $3, 500 per affordable unit, or
311,500 per year.
b. The Developer will be entitled to expend $ 2, 000 per affordable unit, or
178,000 without a requirement to receive City approval for the
expenditures.
C. Any proposed additional social services expenditures, up to a maximum
of $133,500 ($ 311,500 - $ 178,000 = $133,500), must be submitted to the
City for review and approval each year.
3. Typically, soft lenders of affordable housing projects will split 50% of a project' s
residual receipts based on a pro rata distribution determined by their respective
loan balances. However, based on discussions with the Developer, it is likely that
OCCF will request 75% of the Project' s residual receipts, which is much higher
than OCCF' s pro rata share. As such, KMA recommends that the City work with
the Developer to negotiate a more equitable residual receipts distribution
among the soft lenders.
4. The City should require the Developer to obtain three general contractor bids
prior to selecting a general contractor. The three bids should be provided to the
City for review and approval.
