2018 HOME APPLICATION WORKSHOP CHDO Mini-Round THDA Community programs division June 14, 2018 – Nashville, TN June 19, 2017 – Knoxville, TN June 22, 2017 – Jackson, TN 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 HOME Allocation 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 HOME CHDO ALLOCATION FY 2018 $2.6 million Leftover FY 2016 funds: $.5 Million Total CHDO Funds Available: 3.15 Million 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 Allocation of Funding 10% for Administration (Non-CHDO Grants ONLY) 4% THDA 6% Grantee 18% of the allocation designated CHDO Set-Aside Up to 5% of the allocation set aside for CHDO Operating Expenses THDA limits CHDO Op Expenses to 7% of the individual CHDO grant 67% of the allocation designated for Urban/Rural Projects 45% Urban round 55% Rural round 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

Minimum and Maximum Grants Applicants must apply for at least $100,000 Maximum grant is $750,000 Limit of $750,000 that can be awarded to any one county Grants to successful applicants in the same county will be reduced proportionately If grants must be reduced, the goal is a minimum of $250,000 but could be less 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 Application Dates Applications due by 4:00PM (CST) by EOB Friday, July 13, 2018 Successful applicants will be notified August 15, 2018 2018 Contracts will be effective July 1, 2018 through approximately June 30, 2021 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 Significant Changes Increase the maximum of HOME funds that can be awarded to an applicant from $500,000 to $750,000 to allow for more funds to be awarded to successful applicants and developers of housing. This change would also allow a CHDO funded under the 2018 HOME Program Description to re- apply for additional funds not to exceed the $750,000 total award cap. Add a Commitment Requirement threshold item and relaxed the Spend Down Threshold requirement of past funding recipients. Commitment is the first important stage for CHDOs to meet, but previously was not recognized separately as a threshold item. Instead, THDA previously required CHDOs to meet expenditure at earlier timeframes, requiring CHDOs to not only have committed funds, but to have also expended funding as well. This change will allow threshold eligibility of organizations that have met key commitment requirements, but have not yet expended funds. 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 Significant Changes Adjust funding allocation amounts to reflect final 2018 HOME awards to THDA. The HOME Program received a 50% increase in funding, which adds a 50% increase in the CHDO Commitment requirement. Eliminate the 25% match requirement of CHDOs put in place as part of the 2018 HOME Program Description and re-instituted the scoring incentives for the contribution of match to projects. Our conversations with representatives of CHDOs in May 2018 revealed a fundamental misunderstanding by CHDOs of the federal definition of “match”. As a result, applicants, including those who have been successful under past awards, are experiencing difficulty in generating eligible match and would be prohibited from funding consideration if this threshold requirement remains. 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 Significant Changes Revise the scoring criteria, including: Eliminate the Not Previously Served category weighted at 40 points. CHDOs indicated that this category was the primary driver of where the CHDO located a project, rather than market demand. As THDA’s CHDO funds have been under subscribed, CHDOs may not be looking to place projects in the most optimum locations given this factor that is intended to spread funds across jurisdictions. Increase points for Capability from 50 to 60 points. Add a new category for projects not located in a local participating jurisdiction, because local participating jurisdiction receive direct allocations of HOME funds that can be used to foster affordable housing development for homeownership purposes. 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

2018 Significant Changes Reinstitute a match scoring criteria previously used under the 2017 HOME Program Descriptions. Separate the Energy Efficiency/Universal Design category into two categories. Previously, the combined category awarded a total of 10 points for rehabilitation activities that incorporated energy efficiency measures and for new construction activities that incorporated specific universal design elements. The scoring matrix now provides 10 points for each category and adds scoring elements to each for both new construction and rehabilitation activities. 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round

CHDO Commitment Beginning with FY 2015, CHDO commitments must meet the 24-month deadline by program year and not on a cumulative basis FY 2017 CR funds must be committed to site-specific units by July 31, 2019 FY 2018 CR funds must be committed to site-specific units by approximately June 30, 2020 HUD will recapture any CHDO funds not committed to specific CHDO activities by the deadlines. Funds will be lost to Tennessee! When designing your program, be aware that…. 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round 2018 HOME CHDO Mini-Round
