Proposed Ordinances for: Elderly Co-op
Homeownership Program and Appropriation Amending
the 1991 Community Development Fund Budget
SUBMITTED BY: Glenn K. Rice, Director of Community & Economic
Development
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: (Pixie Grant Manager
(575 X101)
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The attached report outlines the proposed direction needed to start the elderly Co-op
Homeownership Program. The program has received acquisition funding from the
State of Washington's Housing Trust Fund. The 1991 Housing budget needs to be
amended to incorporate the receipt of the state funds, revenue and expenditures used
during the building's transition from tenants to owners.
This program will assist 50 persons in achieving affordable and decent housing at no
cost from either the Block Grant Program or the City. The program funding resources
pay for both the acquisition and the transition.
The only obligation to the City of Yakima will be the holding of the existing debt service
on the building during transition.
This action is necessary to satisfy the 1990 auditor's findings regarding this
transaction.

CITY OF YAKIMA
OFFICE OF HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION
CHESTNUT MANOR HISTORY
The Chestnut Manor was developed through a discovery of the need for
affordable housing of our elderly community residents that came from the
homeownership program application process. Elderly residents on fixed
income were reflecting rent and utility costs that exceeded 60 to 80% of
their monthly income. This excessive cost factor forced our elderly
population into substandard and unaffordable housing.
In recognition of this housing cost adversely affecting our elderly
population, it was determined a substantial number of units were needed
that were affordable in cost, being long term tenancy and decent in
habitability.
Given this first step in recognition, a second factor faced our community
in the removal of 49 units of housing in our downtown area for a parking
lot. The removal of this building (Chestnut Manor) was also considered
detrimental due to its historical significance.
It was the recommendation of the Housing Division that the City Council
purchase the Chestnut Manor to develop low-income, long term, decent
elderly housing, with a state grant from the Washington State Housing
Trust Fund.
In 1989, members of City Council approved the submission of the
application for the Elderly Co-op Program to the Washington State Housing
Trust Fund. This program was approved by the State and the City was
allocated $325,000 to use in the acquisition of the Chestnut Manor
Apartment.
The building would be owned by the city and operated by the Division of
Housing during the transition period from its existing rental status to its
establishment of the elderly occupied co-op.
This has been reviewed by our legal counsel under the current state RCW
status and has been determined to be adequate use and purpose for the
City. The transition period for the placement of occupants in the building
was anticipated to be 18 to 24 months to avoid any displacement of
current tenants and the development of the buildings ownership, financial
and legal paper work.
The purchase of this building was through a cash payment from the
Washington Housing Trust Fund and the existing indebtedness assumed by
the City and refinanced by the new occupants.
The offer of purchase on this property has been agreed to by the owner at
a cost of $680,000, ($325,000 Housing Trust Fund, $355,000 loan
assumption), and was acquired in the summer of 1991. The financial
structure of this transaction offered long term occupancy to forty-six low
income elderly families. Each occupant will pay no more than 30% of their
gross monthly income for their unit which includes utilities.
The building originated the development of a non-profit 501 c(3)
corporation that would own and operate the building. This non-profit,
called the "Chestnut Manor Association', is administered by tenants and
professionals for the overall administration and operation.
Since this time of acquisition three separate elements have been in
process to complete the project. The project elements have different
phases that are actively working independently toward the common goal of
a successful project. Each individual element is outlined below.
OPERATION: The building is in current operation managed by Preferred
Property Management under an agreement with the Chestnut Manor
Association. The building produces revenue sufficient for independent
operation and is not subsidized by any other revenue resource. The current
occupancy is being transitioned to perrnanent elderly residency. This
operation and managment is overseen by a Board that was elected at large
by the tenant population, with three professionals for technical
assistance. The Board meets once a month to review operations and make
decisions. The building was completely rehabilitated using interium
financing from the City's UDAG repayment f nds.
FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURE: The 'Chestnut Manor Association' has
made a loan request, from the Washington Community Reinvestment
Association, in the amount of $325,000 to pay off existing indebtedness
of $354,000. This amount with the State's commitment to contiinue their
grant ($325,000) as a deferred lien and a grant from the City's HOME
Program in the amount of $325,000, will complete the financial
transaction to purchase the building from the City. The City will be
repayed the $250,000 that was extended for construction upon final
closing of the title transfer.
The final purchase price and its market value are very comparable, but the
type of financing makes the occupancy affordable. (Grants and deferred
loans)
TITLE TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP: The Ownership and title transfer
were assigned to our attorneys in Seattle (Preston, Thorgrimson, Shidler,
Gates and Ellis). Many avenues of testing theory's with state law and
future responsibility was researched. The ending theory that would be the
most beneficial to the City, State grant intent and long term occupancy
was finally decided. This building would be established under a 501 c(3),
a non-profit state corporation. The advantage of this structure will be tax
exempt state and federal, long term occupancy and affordability. This
organizational structure is acceptable to the new financer. The new
financer will be the Washington State Reinvestment Association (WCRA).
The preliminary commitment has been received and anticipate approval in
early April. Upon approval the State will issue new documents to secure
the grant change in responsibility. Given the agreement of all parties and
the approval of all the financial requests the City will now be in the
position to pass on the legal and financial responsibilities to the new
owners.
Although, this was an ambitious project it was also very innovative and
has received many Federal and State comments of the City's commitment
to provide affordable housing for our community.
