For example, is the proposed park project an existing park location to be rehabilitated or construction of a new park? 2016 HRP Program Funding Application Page 7 of 17 Will the Park be in Support of Any Infill Project?: If there is a residential Infill Project within a quarter mile radius of the park project, or accessible within a half mile walkable route of the park project, answer “Yes” to this question. The application must provide the name or location of at least one residential infill development meeting these criteria, and provide documentation to support this through the use of aerial photography, engineering calculations, GIS maps, etc. Please note: For the purposes of qualifying for this bonus award, the identified residential infill project may be any residential structure previously existing or under construction (single family or multifamily). The infill project is not required to be any of the housing units used to qualify for the base grant award or an affordable housing development. Will the Park be Located within a Disadvantaged Community? Indicate whether the park project will be located within a Disadvantaged Community by selecting “Yes” or “No” from the drop down menu. Applications must provide documentation to demonstrate at least ONE of the following:  The Qualifying Park Project is located within or bordered by at least one qualified census tract (QCT) as determined the by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Documentation to support this identification may be obtained by all applicants through the HUD-User GIS Service QCT Locater. OR  The Qualifying Park Project is located within a census tract determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development having at least 51 percent of its residents at low- or moderate-income levels. Documentation to support this identification may be obtained by all applicants from the HUD’s Census Data.

Indicate whether the Park Project will be located within a Park-Deficient Community by selecting 1 Information is provided at the census block group level and will require applicants to total all block groups from a census tract to calculate the correct percentage of low and moderate income households for the entire census tract. For example, below is information for tract 400300, b lock groups 1-4: A B STUSAB STATE COUNTYNAME COUNTY TRACT BLKGRP LOWMODUNIV LOWMOD LOWMODPCT CA 06 Alameda County 001 400300 1 1092 213 19.5 CA 06 Alameda County 001 400300 2 1146 378 33 CA 06 Alameda County 001 400300 3 1216 617 50.7 CA 06 Alameda County 001 400300 4 1383 431 31.2 For a park project is located within census tract 400300, the applicant would add up figures in the 4 rows in column B “LOWMOD” (1639) and divide that number by the sum of 4 rows of column A “LOWMODUNIV” (4837), resulting in an average of 33 percent low- and moderate-income households in the entire census tract. Therefore this census tract would NOT qualify for the Disadvantaged Community bonus as it does not have at least 51 percent of its resident at low- or moderate-income levels as required in the Guidelines. 2016 HRP Program Funding Application Page 8 of 17 “Yes” or “No” from the drop down menu.

Once highlighted, from the menus at the top of the screen, select “Insert” and then “Row.” Repeat as necessary to include as many rows as needed. Following these steps will ensure formulas necessary to calculate totals are maintained. For each residential project, indicate “Yes” or “No” from the dropdown menu for each bonus fund based on the information provided in the Housing Project Cover Sheet (New Construction, Infill Units) and Park Description (Infill-Supporting, Park-Deficient, Disadvantaged Community). The spreadsheet will automatically calculate the bonus and total awards for each Eligible Unit. The total columns at the end of the page will automatically calculate the total base, bonus and grant awards based on the information submitted in the application. In order to be eligible in this round of funding, the applicant must qualify for a total grant award of at least $75,000. HOUSING PROJECT COVER SHEET Applicants must complete and submit a separate Housing Project Cover Sheet for each individual residential project containing HRP Program eligible units included in the grant calculation.

Select “Move to End” from the list, check the “Make a Copy” box, and click “OK”. A new Project Cover Sheet will appear at the end of the workbook. Be sure to re-number the heading on this sheet to match the project number on the Comprehensive Unit Listing. Repeat as necessary to include as many Housing Start Cover Sheets as needed. Supporting Documentation: The application must include all required documentation as detailed below to demonstrate the eligibility of housing units included in the Housing Project Cover Sheet. 2016 HRP Program Funding Application Page 10 of 17 Project Name or Identifier: Identify the housing project by name or other unique identifier (i.e., Rosewood Apartments), not the Qualifying Park Project name. Unique identifiers can include project name, address and/or assessor’s parcel number. Please note: supporting documentation to demonstrate bedroom count and affordability level MUST indicate the same project identifier to tie all required documentation together. Type of Unit: Indicate whether the project is new construction or a substantial rehabilitation, conversion, or preservation project. Building Permit(s) Issuance Date(s): For new construction units, identify the date(s) the building permit(s) were issued for the project. Attach necessary documentation to support these dates. Single-family units may have various building permit dates, but those units approved as part of a subdivision should be submitted as one Housing Project Cover Sheet. Date(s) of Certificate(s) of Occupancy: For units substantially rehabilitated, converted, and/or preserved, identify the date(s) the certificate(s) of occupancy, or other evidence of readiness for occupancy, were issued. Are Eligible Units otherwise considered Infill, pursuant to Section 106(C)(2)-(4)?: Section 106(C) of the HRP Program Guidelines outlines the criteria for a project to be identified as an Infill Project. This field is a drop-down box with either a “Yes” or “No” answer. If “Yes,” the application must include documentation to support the project as an Infill project. Acceptable documentation includes, but is not limited to, overhead photographs of the project site, engineering documentation, photographs of adjacent property, etc. If there is a concern as to the acceptability of the documentation available, please contact your jurisdiction’s HRP Program Representative. Affordability Documentation: The Housing Project Cover Sheet must indicate the public subsidy used to achieve the affordable rent or sale prices of the eligible unit (for example, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Redevelopment Agency Low-Mod Housing funds, the Department’s Multifamily Housing Program, California Housing Finance Agency funds, etc.). It is only necessary to identify one source of public funds which meets the required restriction period (55 years for rental projects, 20 years for ownership units and 40 years for preservation). Evidence of affordability covenants detailing level of affordability and length of restriction period must be included in the supporting documentation. For new construction ownership units, if no public funds were used to achieve affordability, the documentation must demonstrate the unit has been or will be initially sold to an income-eligible household at an affordable housing cost. Documentation must include verification of income eligibility, at the time of the close of escrow, for the household initially occupying the unit and sale prices must not exceed the sale price limits published by CalHFA for the qualifying sale date. See Attachment B 2016 HRP Program Funding Application Page 11 of 17 Project Summary Table: Indicate the number of units at each affordability level by unit size that will be used for the grant award calculation. DO NOT include units in the project that are not part of your grant award calculation (for example, non-restricted manager units in multifamily rental projects). The form will automatically calculate the total number of bedrooms by income level. These numbers should be identical to those listed on the Comprehensive Unit Listing. Please note: figures entered will be the number of units not the number of bedrooms. Evidence of bedroom count for each unit by affordability level must be included in the supporting documentation. Project Description: This field may be used to clarify documentation or eligibility of units if necessary. In summary, all applicants must submit appropriate supporting documentation with each Housing Project Cover Sheet to demonstrate eligibility for each housing unit used to calculate the HRP Program award. Supporting documentation for projects with multiple units may consist of summary information as long as the total number of bedrooms by income level for each unit is clearly demonstrated. Instructions for Assembly of Housing Unit Project Sheet and Supporting Documentation  Separate and label all supporting documentation, including Housing Project Attachments, building permits, certificates of occupancy, income verification, affordability restrictions, bedroom count information and infill bonus eligibility (if applicable) by project and include as a packet with each Housing Project Cover Sheet.  As the award is based on the number of bedrooms in units affordable to both very low- and low-income households, the connection between the unit count, income level and bedroom count must be clearly documented.  If an eligible Housing Unit has multiple funding sources, there is no need to submit copies of all the regulatory agreements on the project – one complete current copy which meets the criteria outlined in this application will suffice.  To facilitate an expedited review of the application, please highlight or indicate where the specific information can be found in the included documentation. 2016 HRP Program Funding Application Page 12 of 17 HOUSING PROJECT ATTACHMENT – Units Substantially Rehabilitated, Converted and/or Preserved For projects containing units substantially rehabilitated, converted from market -rate to affordable, and/or preserved, applicants must complete the corresponding Housing Project Attachment in addition to the Housing Project Cover Sheet.
