XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

MURP Associates is pleased to present Xipe Totec, a mixed-use project with 58-units of affordable studio units, two managers units and two commercial spaces. The units serve the housing needs of low-income transitional age youth (TAY), meaning 18-25 year old youth that have aged out of the foster care system. The commercial spaces will house a medical clinic and a youth services center. Xipe Totec (pronounced si-pe toh-tec) is located along a well-used commercial corridor in the historical neighborhood of Boyle Heights. We envision this project as being an innovative, mixed-used and transit-oriented development project that is grounded in the local needs and context of Boyle Heights. Due to the proximity of our project to the Metro Gold Line Soto Station and eight bus stops, our project is a perfect transit-oriented mixed-use development that is critical for our residents and the neighborhood, many of whom may not own cars and are transit dependent. Xipe Totec is a stable permanent home for our residents but also serves to anchor the community with health resources, and educational and work support. In Aztec mythology, different gods created different parts of the world. Xipe Totec is the name of the Aztec god that created the East, the direction of the rising sun. He is also the Aztec god of agriculture, fertility, and regeneration. Xipe Totec symbolizes new roots in Boyle Heights - where youth have the opportunity to rebuild and to lead their future and the future of the neighborhood, in essence, recreating the East.

The community of Boyle Heights is a densely populated neighborhood immediately east of Downtown Los Angeles. It’s neighboring communities are unincorporated East Los Angeles is to the east and downtown to its west. Boyle Heights is only around 6 square miles however, it has 99,243 residents living in 6.52 square miles. At 14,229 people per square mile, Boyle Heights is among the densest communities in Los Angeles County. Boyle Heights also has four major Southern California freeways (the I-5, I-10, US-101, and the CA-60) running through it. Historically a diverse community of Jews, African-Americans and Hispanic/Latinos, the community is today a primarily a Hispanic/ Latino neighborhood (92.6%). The community is, with a median household (HH) income of $26,223, one of the poorest communities in Los Angeles. The poverty rate in Boyle Heights is 31.3% compared to 15.4% in Los Angeles County. While 75.5% of Los Angeles County residents have a high school diploma, only 45% of residents do in Boyle Heights. Residents in Boyle Heights primarily work in manufacturing, retail, health care and social assistance, accommodation and food services, and wholesale trade. Boyle Heights has a large population of young people, with 27.2 percent of the population being 20 years of age or less. Compared to both the state and citywide average, Boyle Heights has a significantly higher household size, with 4.1 persons per household.

XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

TRANSITION AGED YOUTH Our project will serve transition aged youth (TAY). Los Angeles has a reputation of being the “homeless capital of America” and within the homeless population, transition aged youth are one of the fastest growing subpopulations. These youth have either aged-out of the foster care or the probation system and generally refers to youth between 18-25 years. Typical risk factors for this population include a lack of high school diplomas/GED, little to no job experience or training, mental health disabilities or behavioral disorders, and limited support systems. About 1,500 transition age youth emancipate each year in LA County. About 50% end up homeless within a year of emancipation. However, this is considered an undercount, as homeless youth and TAY are difficult to identify and to count. They often also do not want to be identified as homeless. Boyle Heights and East LA have the highest rates of youth homelessness in the Los Angeles Unified School District. In just three schools in Boyle Heights (Hollenbeck Middle School, Mendez Learning Center, and Roosevelt High School), there were 724 youth who experienced homelessness in 2010. Youth (everyone under 18 years old) in Boyle Heights face higher rates of poverty, almost double the rate of youth in Los Angeles County.

However, there are very little studies being done on homeless youth needs in this area. Service providers for TAY and homeless youth have said that homeless youth populations are very diverse. In East LA and Boyle Heights, the population is overwhemingly youth of color from Los Angeles (as opposed to Hollywood, where many youth are white and from outside of the the county or California). According to Jovenes Inc, a Boyle Heights youth services and housing provider, it is critical to “build capacity and tailor solutions that reflect the populations [being] serve[d].” However, despite the organizations in the area, Boyle Heights still has great need and is a very underserved area in terms of services and housing. Boyle Heights shares a county mental health funding service area for TAY with central Los Angeles, which is a large territory. Much of the funding for homeless youth center in Hollywood and on the Westside, however, East and South LA have a huge need that is not being met. 12


XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

HOUSING STOCK

TARGET POPULATION

There are 23,400 housing units in Boyle Heights. About 65% of that stock is multiplefamily units and the rest are single-family units. The housing stock in Boyle Heights is generally old, with low to medium density single family homes or apartment buildings. Residents are overwhemlingly renters (about 75% are renters).

Professionals in the field say that permanent supportive housing in conjunction with comprehensive services is the best way to stabilize homeless youth, who need 30-50% more time to stabilize than other homeless populations. Permanent Supportive Housing ensures longer-term housing stability, provides affordable and subsidized rent, and includes supportive services to help maintain the housing and to achieve individually set goals. This is different from transitional housing, which is more akin to shared housing/ shelters and allows for only shorter stays. However, currently Boyle Heights has more short-term housing (shelters and transitional housing) than permanent supportive housing available. There are only three permanent supportive housing developments for specifically youth in this service area and only one development of 15 units in Boyle Heights. There is a high need for more.

Despite the low densities, Boyle Heights has many single family homes divided into duplexes, triplexes and more. Housing is made “affordable� due to overcrowding, with several families or people living together per unit. When looking at overcrowding,16% of renters live in overcrowded situations and 7% of owner housing live in overcroweded situations. Boyle Heights is also facing threats to its affordable housing stock. New development is coming into Boyle Heights at a fast pace because of new transit and transit-oriented development. The Metropolitan Transporation Authority has invested $848 million to extend the Gold Line rail stations. Eight new stations have opened up in Boyle Heights and East LA area. However, community members are concerned that long-term residents will be displaced due to a jump in prices for real estate.

The median rent in Boyle Heights is $814. The average market rate rent for studios in Boyle Heights is at $750 and for 1 bedrooms, it is $1198. This is unattainable for our targed population, who at 30% AMI, can afford $428 in rent. Our rents range in the middle of the affordability spectrum of rents for TAY, according to Jovenes Inc., another housing and service provider for TAY in Boyle Heights. This project offers 400 sq ft. studio units, which are on the middle or larger end of the spectrum for TAY units. The idea is to think

about comfortable, livable spaces that have marked differences from transitional housing. All units have kitchens and bathrooms. We want to have affordable, quality spaces for our residents to gain independence and stability. TAY also have specific service needs, which will be provided in our building. Boyle Heights nonprofits have been leading the way in working in a comprehensive, long-term way with TAY youth, especially youth of color. In Boyle Heights, over 96 percent of youth are Latino. Organizations like Jovenes Inc. are pioneers in offering models for services and supportive housing for TAY in Boyle Heights. There are other youth service providers that we can tap into to collaborate with. We believe that with the right services and quality housing, our tenants can maintain jobs and their homes.

LOS ANGELES CITY HOUSING ELEMENT The city of Los Angeles just adopted a new Housing Element in December 2013. The new 2013-2021 Housing Element is organized around this vision: “to create for all residents a city of livable and sustainable neighborhoods with a range of housing types, sizes and costs in proximity to jobs, amenities and services. In keeping with decades of federal Housing Acts and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that declared housing as a human right, the City will work towards ensuring that housing is provided to all residents.” It states that to meet this goal, “the City is expected to need an additional 82,002 new units through 2021, of which 46,590 units (57%) are designated for very low- and low-income households based on the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).” However, as the above Table shows, the number of units that will be constructed within the RHNA time period compared to the amount needed to house everyone. As shown, the city is not projected to meet its targets to create enough affordable housing to house everyone that needs it. 14


XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

COMMERCIAL Our commercial spaces aim to provide preventative and primary care with the clinic, but also to specialize in mental health and workforce/educational services for youth and homeless populations in our wider community. Not only will this be a strong part of our service package for our youth residents, this will also open up our client base to people outside of Boyle Heights, such as East LA, Downtown, and the surrounding neighborhoods. There are several factors that will increase demand for health care clinics. There is a large increase in demand as more patients can access health care due to the Affordable Care Act. While hospitals may see increased demand with patients, clinics are still facing demand in different population needs. In 2011, 32% of adults were uninsured versus 26% in LA County & 22% in California. We want to focus on uninsured popuations, including undocumented patients and homeless populations, that will still heavily rely on medical care at health clinics. While this may sound like taking on more financial risk, there is also long-term federal funding available for these populations like funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This has been a critical fund to stabilize clinics. Boyle Heights is the site of several large health care facilities, however, there is still a need to provide new spaces for health care facilities. The majority of structures in Boyle Heights were built before 1950. Clinics are at their capacity already and face the need to move from their older buildings to access larger and updated

spaces, especially as demand increases. The City of Los Angeles is implementing a new system to recover youth who drop out of school by connecting them to a YouthSource Center which offers educational services and workforce development with a case management model. It has been successful and a model being looked at by other cities, however, there is only one YouthSource Center in Boyle Heights that covers three large high schools in the area. In addition to health services, we also aim to partner with a service provider to provide a similar, comprehensive model of educational/ workforce development services by the health clinic. Boyle Heights is a good location for this because of existing service providers in the neighborhood that cater to our target audience. However, despite that, there is still a large need in the neighborhood. The youth unemployment rate in the larger Los Angeles metro area is 22.9%, double the rate of adult unemployment at 9.9%. In the City of Los Angeles, there are over 18,000 identified high school students out of school in a given semester, and nearly 100,000 young people out of school and out of work between the ages 16 -24. However, there is only one YouthSource Center in Boyle Heights that covers three large high schools in the area. We believe that due to the proximity of our residents and to, another center is supportable. It would also be open to the wider public and could split the demand between the two centers.

Zoning and Entitlements Xipe Totec will be constructed on 10 different parcels. Eight of the parcels are zoned for commercial zoning (C-2), however the (R-4) multi-family zoning designation is applied when the site is going to be used for residential purposes. The two remaining parcels are zoned for residential (R-3). Based on the zoning restrictions provided in the table below we are proposing to build a mixed-used development that would contain 58 studio units that are 100% affordable for transitional aged youth accompanied by a youth center and a clinic for the retail. The table on the next page summarizes our project’s zoning constraints and development standards. In addition to the municipal code our project is constrained by the city of Los Angeles General Plan. The city of Los Angeles Land Use Element is made up of 35 community plans which guide the physical development of each individual neighborhood within the city. The Boyle Heights Community Plan was last updated in 1998 and is currently being revised and updated by the planning department. The new plan has not been officially adopted so we will be using the 1998 plan as our main guide for this development.

variety of amenities. Xipe Totec will fulfill the policy objectives of the community plan by being near transit and by being in an area that is within walking distance of grocery stores, schools and bus stops.

Entitlement Process In order to develop on the 345 Fickett site we will have to go through the entitlement process within the city of Los Angeles. The first step in the process is to obtain a case filing approval form and an affordable housing referral form. At the same time we will be submitting the environmental assessment form, a density bonus application and the site plan application. Our environmental review will take about 6 months. The planning department will process the density bonus and site plan which in total will take about 8 months. This process will include recording our covenant agreements. We will be submitting our final construction drawings to the Dept. of Building and Safety for plan check, paying our fees and receiving our permits to commence construction all within a 2 month timeframe.

The 1998 Boyle Heights Community plan mostly focused around the rehabilitation of the existing housing stock. The plan’s main policy objectives included a push for development near transit and for housing that was easily accessible to a 16

Cesar Chavez Ave is a vital artery in the hearts of East LA residents. This historic Avenue is the main commercial corridor in Boyle Heights and caters to the immediate consumer needs of the community. Staying true to its profile, Xipe Totec orients the clinic and youth center to face Cesar Chavez Ave. The grand steps that lead to a rooftop terrace are reminiscent of structures from Tenochtitlan (the largest pre-hispanic urban center) a heritage that has followed Latinos of Mexican descent for generations. Latino Urbanism is special in Boyle Heights in that it shares a tradition of utilizing public space in creative and necessary ways that is not common in typical US cities. Xipe Totec encourages community cohesion by providing a

setback on Cesar Chavez; continuing the urban form of this historic corridor, yet providing additional public space with the development’s setback.

Pedestrian entrances to the development exist from both Cesar Chavez Ave and Fickett St. Internally, residents are able to move freely across perforated bridge structures and connecting pathways.

Step backs on the southern side of the development are necessary to respect neighbors and prevent from introducing an intimidating feature into the area. The residential units are also staggered to create multiple views and increase natural and indirect light from the many surfaces.

Residential Programming

Open Space

Residential programming includes 58 units each sized at 400 sq ft and all share the same layout. The two management units are sized at 600 sq ft and centrally centrally located within the development for full observation of the residents as a recommended standard. Each residential unit includes one ADA compliant bathroom, one kitchenette, a large window with views of the neighborhood, a desk, and storage units.

Residents have a variety of open space and recreational services within Xipe Totec. Programming includes a basketball court above the clinic with a wall that also acts as a projection screen for outdoor films on warm Southern California nights . In addition, Xipe Totec also includes passive recreation areas where residents can simply sit and decompress from the stressors and traumas imposed by daily life. Finally, the development includes a slew of exposed connecting paths and bridges that make interesting circullation patterns while ensuring vigillance from case managers.

Commercial Programming The medical clinic is 6,800 sq ft and is located on the corner of Cesar Chavez and Fickett, an accessible and highly populated street. The outpatient clinic is composed of modules that host everything from examination rooms to administrative offices. Indoor and exterior waiting rooms provide patients with views of Cesar Chavez Ave and the local neighborhood activity. Clinica Romero, a similar neighborhood clinic of 7,000 sq ft in a similar neighborhood setting, currently provides assistance of up to 300 patients per day. Main aspects of the youth center include a computer room, a multi-purpose room, a small library and lounge space, and a bicycle workshop area. This bike workshop also serves as the hub for the bike sharing program that will allow residents to run daily errands. Programs like bike share and bike repair allow for residents to build hands on skills as well as business and program management skills. These programs also act as the pilot, or example, of a small business social entrepreneurship.

Parking Parking for the entire development is located on the western side, adjacent to the alleyway. The entrance and exit is on Cesar Chavez Ave. We have a total of 31 number of parking spots. Parking requirements for TAY are minimal considering that most transition-age youth cannot afford the financial burden of owning and operating automobiles. Our parking ratio for the residential units equals 0.25 spaces per unit, with 2 additional spaces for the 2 manager units. There is a total of 17 residential parking spots. There is a total of 16 parking spaces for the retail units. The parking ratio is 1 spot per 500 sq. ft. We are using a reduction from the Bicycle Ordinance, which reduces our parking by 6.4 spaces. We are also in a Transit-Oriented Development area (a quarter mile from a light rail station) and in an Enterprise Zone, which encourages reducing parking spots. 21

Sustainability is pivotal to any housing development in terms of addressing the needs of a community and resources of the environment. For this development we have obtained a LEED Gold Rating (see appendix). Another sustainable feature of our development includes the residential unit orientation. All units make full use of passive solar building design, allowing light and heat to enter in the mornings and providing shade throughout the rest of the day. The local climate and placement of windows makes for a comfortable living environment that requires little to no temperature conditioning.

XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

Our goal is to incorporate our project into the fabric of the neighborhood through the involvement of residents and property owners in the vicinity. Our comprehensive strategy involves community workshops to determine needs and considerations, communicating the schedule and potential impacts of the project during construction, and actively engaging community stakeholders throughout each phase of the development process.

Street and Mariachi Plaza, we want to expand success for small businesses onto Cesar Chavez Ave and to the Soto Station. This project is an anti-displacing strategy that supports residents and small businesses through the inclusion of affordable housing and local, communityserving retail.

PRE-DEVELOPMENT

Our key opponents are neighboring residents that might have issues with the density and with the target population of formerly homeless transition age youth. Businesses may have concerns about integrating this new project into the fabric of the commercial corridor.

Our planning and development began with a thorough assessment of community needs. While this was informed largely by available demographic data and a thorough market analysis, it was supported by meetings with City staff, Council Member Jose Huizar, community leaders, and representatives from various community organizations, and supportive services groups.

However, Boyle Heights is a community with a strong support for youth issues. our program is centered around community serving resources - a clinic, educational and work services, and health things like bikes. This project brings attention to a commercial area that has not been as popularized. Like 1st

In addition on May 2, 2014 our development team hosted an Urban Planning Youth Empowerment Conference for 150 youth from East Los Angeles Renaissance Academy, a high school in Boyle Heights, to learn about improving their community through urban

XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

planning and development. This conference included an affordable housing workshop with over 60 participants in which the youth developed a site plan for their own affordable housing development on our project site (345 Fickett St). Our approach to development incorporating community participation provided opportunities for stakeholders to express their concerns and offer their own ideas about what they would like their community to look like. The advantages of this approach allowed us to develop a well-informed development program and design while gaining valuable support for our project from local stakeholders. Based on these workshops and meetings with community stakeholders our project gained a greater understanding for the needs of this community lacking access to medical services, affordable housing for homeless youth, spaces for public art, and job training to reduce high current youth unemployment.

CONSTRUCTION

For the latter stages of construction, our development project has contracted the services of LA Conservation Corp to assist with the construction of our development project. LA Conservation Corp is a local program that provides young people aged 16 to 24 in low-income communities the opportunity to earn their GED or high school diploma by enrolling in an alternative education program, building affordable housing, and participating in community development opportunities. Under the supervision of licensed contractors, LA Conservation Corp participants will help construct our affordable housing project in their

own community, and at the same time, develop construction and leadership skills they can take with them to lead successful and productive lives. LA Conservation Corp has committed up to 40 participants to the project. Throughout the construction process, our development team will hold monthly community meetings to update the public about construction progress and inform neighbors about impacts such as the temporary loss of on-street parking and durations of construction noise. These meetings will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions and communicate concerns to the development team. Additionally a printed newsletter will also be distributed to adjacent residents and property owners. Also information through these channels will be offered in English and Spanish and list contact information for the development team.

POST-CONSTRUCTION AND OCCUPANCY We will start outreach for lease-up about five months before construction finishes. With our property management company and our service partners, Jovenes Inc, we expect to have a long waiting list. Jovenes Inc. also operates short-term housing which will help in finding tenants for our project. Our community related process will also bring in tenants through the participants that have engaged in our process since the beginning. Our property managers and service operators will continue to work with the youth to build community and to build skills. 31

XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

Residential Construction Loan: $5,832,431 Because our development has two ownership structures (two LLCs), we are financing our retail and residential differently. Bank of America Merrill Lynch has agreed to provide a construction loan of $5,832,431 for the development of the residential portion of our project. Retail Construction & Permanent Bank Loan: $3,561,838 The project’s Construction and Permanent Bank Loan is sized only by the Retail Net Operating Income (NOI). This loan will assist only the retail portion of the development. The Construction Bank Loan will be converted to a permanent loan after construction close. 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Equity: $8,434,020 In order for the project to sustain its residential development costs, we seek to acquire ~$8.43 Million in LIHTC equity. We are taking the requested unadjusted eligible basis at ~$7.8 Million and will be selling our credits at $1.10 for every $1.00 of tax credit. The LIHTC equity comes in during construction at 15 percent for the initial capital contribution. The rest of the equity will come in during the permanent phase to close the construction loan costs and any unpaid capital contributions. *Please refer to the Appendix for LIHTC Equity Determination

Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health: $2,918,253 In order to pay for the predevelopment costs, we seek capital subsidy funding from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH). Under the Mental Health Services Act Housing Program NOFA from the County, we request up to $121,655 per unit cost for capital and/or operating subsidy. LA County DMH will make available $7 million for the acquisition, new construction and rehabilitation of permanent supportive housing. Because the project assumes Section 8 Project Based Vouchers (PBV), we do not need the operating subsidy. However, we will be requesting a capital subsidy of $2,918,253 to fund the predevelopment phase. Our project meets the funding principles and priorities of the the County. Our project prioritizes a target population of no more than 30% AMI. Since we have an operating subsidy from Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) through Section 8 PBV and are targeting a vulnerable population, we are confident that our proposal will acquire the funds from the Department. New Market Tax Credits (NMTC): $1,512,555 Gross | $1,017,380 Net Due to lack of financing to fulfil the retail portion’s development costs, we seek to apply for NMTC. The U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation’s (USBCDC) has agreed to issue the development NMTC of ~$1.5 Million, which includes the fees and costs for NMTC. The NMTC comes with two different fees: the fee reserves ($245,175) and the closing costs ($250,000). The fee totals are 495,175. 36


XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

Our project is eligible for ~1.5 Million, however, the bank holds back the fee totals ($495,175), which gives us a net allocation of $1,017,380 in NMTC. Please refer to the Appendix for the NMTC calculations.

PROJECT BUDGET COST ASSUMPTIONS Please refer to the accompanying exhibits. The following notes describe certain assumptions included in the projections. Land Value: ($2,227,757) Land value was calculated based on an estimated land values of nearby projects within 1000ft of the project. The land is averaged at $52.22 per square feet of commercial parcels in the project’s market area. This sum will be paid to Metro as prepaid ground lease rent for the lease term at the beginning of the project’s construction. We are budgeting 10% of the land cost in the predevelopment phase to allow for a deposit with the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Agency. The project site will be a ground lease of 70 year. We will then close escrow at construction start.

Construction Hard Cost Construction hard cost are based on information from RS Means 2014 and from similarly designed comparables from our developer partner, Abode Communities. Our residential additives include appliances for the kitchens, elevators, laundry room appliances and smoke detectors. Our retail additives include emergency lighting, smoke detectors and sound systems. We have included additional medical equipment costs as the tenant improvements line item. In order to be competitive and unique, we budgeted an extra 2 percent of our hard costs to meet LEED certified standards. Location Factor Prevailing Wage The cost estimates assumes wage standards for both State and Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, which is required for the public funding sources. The costs also take into account a location factor of 1.09 for residential and 1.07 for the retail for building in Los Angeles. Soft Cost Soft costs are based on our faculty advisor’s experience and of our developer partner, Abode Communities’ experience at similar properties. It is also based off of similar costs from comparable projects from East Los Angeles Community Corporation, another local Boyle Heights affordable housing developer. Hard Cost and Soft Cost Contingency We utilized a 5% Construction Hard Cost Contingency and another 5% Soft Cost Contingency. 37


XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

Developer Fee Our financing plan has our developer fee at $1,495,925. However, we are deferring twothirds of our developer fee after we receive our Certificate of Occupancy. We will then pay back our Developer Fee within 15 years.

RENTS Residential For our residential rents, our tenants pay $390. This rent level are determined by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) guidelines in order to access the 9% LIHTC funding source. All 58 of our studios are “Extremely Low-Income” units at the 30% Area Median Income (AMI) limit, which sets the rents for studios at $390 after utility allowance. The utility allowances are set according to the HACLA

Commercial For our medical clinic (6,800 sq ft), we are assuming rents of $2.50 per square feet, totaling $204,000 annually. This has been confirmed by our tenant, Clinica Romero. MURP Associates will be providing tenant improvements and in return, Clinica Romero will be leasing the clinic space for us with a triple net lease for a minimum of 5 years (with the option to renew the lease) at the stated rent of $2.50. The Youth Center’s rents are set at $2.00 per square feet, bringing in $94,080 annually. Homeboy Industries will be the tenant for the Youth Center, offering services and a social enterprise. If not, Los Angeles Conservation Corporation is our back up tenant for this space. They will also utilize the space for their office and job-training services. Both tenants will have triple net leases for 5 years at minimum with the option to renew.

Section 8 PBV supplements our rental income. The Fair Market Rents (FMR) in Los Angeles in 2014 for studio units is $958. The Section 8 PBV will pay the difference between the FMR and the rents the tenants are able to pay. We also have income from laundry coming in. We have calculated this as $8 per unit, bringing in $5,760 annually in income. In order to get the maximum 35% Density Bonus for our project, 11% of our units must be set aside as being below 50% AMI. At 100% of our units (excluding managers units) at 30% AMI, we meet this condition. 38

XIPE TOTEC | DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL VII. TIE BREAKER SYSTEM - FINAL TIE BREAKER SELF-SCORE This section is included in the application for self-scoring. Be aware that TCAC will use self scores to determine which projects undergo further review in the competition, including the verification of self scores, for possible reservation of tax credits. TCAC will not verify or evaluate every project’s self score. Project’s that self score too low to successfully compete for a reservation of tax credits will not undergo any further review by TCAC. Provide evidence of committed permanent public funds in Tab 20 and evidence of public subsidies, if any, in Tab 17. Projects with commercial/non-residential costs will have committed public funds discounted by the percentage of the project proposed to be commercial or non-residential. Evidence of land value is required (see Tab 1). The value of the land per TCAC Regulations must be included in "Total residential project development costs" below as evidenced in Tab 1 of the application. Donated land value must be included in Total Project Cost and the Sources and Uses Budget.

For mixed-use projects, the permanent public fund numerator must be discounted/reduced by the mixed-use ratio below. Mixed-use projects: Total commercial cost / Total project cost: 28.7432% THE PRORATED COMMERCIAL COST DEDUCTION TO PUBLIC FUNDS MUST BE CALCULATED FIRST, BEFORE APPLYING ANY SUBSIDY ADJUSTMENT/INCREASE (REGULATION SECTION 10325(c)(10)(A)) TO THE NUMERATOR. TCAC staff may adjust this ratio as deemed appropriate. Sample formula (commercial costs) for numerator Committed permanent public funds defraying residential costs =(F38)*(1-I45)

*

For projects with public operating or rental subsidies listed in Reg. Section 10325(c)(10)(A), calculate the percentage increase below and increase the permanent public funds numerator by the adjustment percentage. Operating and rental subsidies: % of subsidized units: Subsidy adjustment/increase to permanent public funds numerator 96.6667% 24.1667% (This adjustment is calculated in the numerator after any commercial The number of rental subsidy units and the number of operating subsidy units are cumulative, up to 100%. cost adjustment). Sample formula (subsidies) for numerator Committed permanent public funds defraying residential costs =F38*(1+H53) Sample formula (subsidies and commercial costs) for numerator Committed permanent public funds defraying residential costs =(F38*(1-I45))*(1+H53) Tranche B calculation For purposes of the public funds points section and the final tie breaker, a Tranche B loan is the lesser of the actual commitment amount or the following.

A project that agrees to have at least 10% of its units available for tenants with incomes no greater than 30% AMI and agrees to restrict the rents on those units accordingly can receive two additional points. The 30% AMI units must be spread across the various bedroom sizes, starting with the largest bedroom count units (e.g. four bedroom units) and working down to the smaller bedroom count units, assuring that at least 10% of the larger units are proposed at 30% AMI. So long as the project meets the 10% standard as a whole, the 10% standard need not be met among all of the smaller units. TCAC may correct applicant errors in carrying out this largest-to-smallest unit protocol.

May 5, 2014 UCLA - MURP UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs Re:

345 Fickett, Los Angeles, CA

Dear Mr. Mai: This letter will serve as a preliminary outline of the terms under which Bank of America (the “Bank”) would consider a loan request and equity investment on the above referenced project. This letter does not represent an offer or commitment by the Bank for the proposed financing, nor does it define all the terms and conditions of a loan commitment, but is a framework upon which a loan request may be submitted. Issuance of a commitment by the Bank is subject to, among other things, the completion of the following items, and approval of the loan request under the Bank’s internal approval process. The Bank may decline to approve the loan request. Upon your response to this letter and after providing any additional information which may be necessary, the Bank will proceed with the necessary due diligence to submit the loan request. The proposed terms and conditions are as follows: Project:

Credit Adjuster.

To the extent such final projected amount of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits varies from the Original Projected Credits, Investor’s capital contribution will be adjusted by $0.90 per federal credit on such variance in the delivery of actual credits to Original Project Credit (as reflected in cost certifications or Form 8609).

Timing Adjuster.

Investor’s federal credit capital contribution will be adjusted to reflect the later or earlier than projected delivery of federal credits with respect to the first year and, if applicable, the second year, of the credit period, based on a reduction in price of 75 cents for every federal credit dollar deferred, or an increase based on 75% of the price per credit established in Section 6 above for every federal credit dollar accelerated.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch Low Income Housing Challenge

This letter confirms U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation’s (USBCDC) interest in the mixed use transitoriented project being developed by MURP Associates at 345 Fickett Avenue and our consideration to provide New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing for the construction of this development in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. USBCDC supports MURP’s aim to provide permanent, affordable housing for transition-age youth, one of the most vulnerable populations in our city. With more than $13.1 billion in managed assets, USBCDC provides innovative financing solutions for community development projects across the country using state and federally sponsored tax credit programs. USBCDC commitments provide capital investment to areas that need it the most and have contributed to the creation of new jobs, the rehabilitation of historic buildings, the construction of needed affordable and market-rate homes, the development of renewable energy facilities, and the generation of commercial economic activity in underserved communities. USBCDC envisions providing equity capital in exchange for the tax credits generated from up to $5.15 million in Qualified Equity Investments (QEIs), which may result in approximately $1.07 million in net benefit to the project, subject to the NMTC parties involved and the NMTC financing structure. If NMTC allocation has not yet been identified for this project, USBCDC will gladly assist MURP Associates in securing the necessary allocation through our many long-time CDE partners and through consideration of bringing our own USBCDE NMTC allocation should we receive an award in a future round. Since the inception of the NMTC program, USBCDC has invested over $2 billion of tax credit equity into eligible projects, working with over 175 CDE partners to provide financial support to over 780 projects in communities of need. As the most active investor in the country, both in terms of dollars invested and transactions closed, USBCDC is deeply dedicated to economic revitalization and works diligently to embody the goals of the NMTC program. USBCDC’s participation in the financing of this project will be conditioned upon its review and approval of the following: (i) satisfaction of NMTC program criteria; (ii) financial projections prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm; (iii) satisfactory leveraged debt sources for a leveraged NMTC model; (iv) creditworthiness of the guarantors and other relevant parties; and (v) any other material and legal documents. USBCDC approval is also subject to all applicable bank operating procedures and investment committee review requirements, as well as the project having all other financing in place to complete development. Thank you for giving USBCDC an opportunity to take your project under consideration and we look forward to working with you. Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (213) 615-6689. Sincerely,
