  12. Allocation of Resources KHC’s previous allocation of Tax Credit resources have been in the following pools: Urban Rural RD/HUD Nonprofit State Priority Maximizing Outcomes
  13. Allocation of Resources KHC proposes to change the pool structure to ensure the various housing needs in Kentucky are met through the development of a variety of multifamily housing developments. The proposed structure would allocate resources to the following categories: Nonprofit Supportive Housing New Construction/Adaptive Reuse Existing/Rehab Pool Community Impact Pool
  14. Nonprofit Supportive Housing Approximately 21 percent of the state’s allocation will be set-aside for nonprofit supportive housing The pool will include the former state priority pool projects, which will be a set-aside within the pool Recovery Kentucky Scholar House The remainder of Housing Credits will be competitive for nonprofits providing supportive housing services in at least 50% of the units for individuals and families who are: Homeless, at risk of homelessness, victims of domestic violence, and/or have disabilities and who require access to supportive services
  15. New Construction Pool Approximately 26 percent of the state’s allocation will be set-aside for: Developments that create new rental units. Adaptive re-use developments, which create new rental units from a building that previously was not designated as housing. No new construction in a QCT which has high concentrations of affordable housing units and poverty Texas HFA fair housing law suit for creating a desperate impact by centralizing poverty
  16. Existing/Rehab Pool Approximately 34 percent of the state’s allocation will be set-aside for: Developments that involve substantial rehabilitation of an existing structure (affordable or market rate housing) and/ or a; Development otherwise in danger of being lost as affordable housing Includes: Developments being removed by a federal agency Housing Credit Developments with compliance periods that have expired, or are expiring in the current year; Re-use of an existing housing unit(s) for conversion into affordable housing where a minimum of 75% of the development is converted to affordable housing (100% of the existing structure must be part of the overall development)
  17. Existing Rehab Pool The number of Housing Credit developments that have completed the initial 15 year compliance period seeking another allocation of Housing Credits will be increasing in the years to come. KHC is considering developing a scoring component for post 15 year projects, awarding points for the number of years after the 15 year compliance period. 0 – 1 year, 0 points 2 - 4 years, 2 points 5 year or more, 5 points
  18. Existing Rehab Pool Developments which have Federal assistance (HUD or RD) KHC is considering developing a scoring component for HUD/RD projects, awarding points to properties identified as a priority (properties which have the greatest need or are at risk) by HUD or RD KHC will work with the state offices of HUD and RD to develop criteria
  19. Community Impact Pool Approximately 19 percent of the state’s allocation will be set-aside for: Developments that are part of a broader or comprehensive program of neighborhood improvement and have the capability of fundamentally changing the character of a neighborhood Developments that are a key component of a larger redevelopment plan and is identified as such in a letter from the local municipality Is located in an area with few affordable housing options, or will otherwise have an immediate high impact for potential residents Louisville Hope VI set-aside will be funded from this pool.

Planning for the Expiring Fixed 9% credit factor Impact of developments Addressing the GAP No additional KHC funds for GAP financing Evaluating KHC’s credit per unit limitations The current credit per unit limitation is maximizing projects use of eligible basis A lower credit per unit number will provide excess basis which can be used to offset a GAP, allowing KHC to continue to allocate at 9%
  22. Tax Exempt Bond with 4% Credits KHC proposes to change the incentive for 9% developments which also propose a viable tax exempt bond transaction Projects which apply for 2014 tax exempt bonds and close on the bond transaction prior to the application round for 2015 housing credits, will be eligible for additional points on one 9% housing credit project for 2015 housing credits
