Fiscal Note
The City (including the CDA) does not envision, nor has included in its operating or capital budgets, any proposed expenditures related to the operations of a Single Room Occupancy housing development. The 2014 Adopted Capital Budget of the Planning and Community and Economic Development agency (PCED) does include $300,000 in General Obligation borrowing in 2014 for planning and pre-development costs for a two-phase development of up to 100 to 110 apartments for homeless adults, and funding of $3,900,000 in 2015/16 in anticipation of construction. Sufficient capital funding for the project is dependent upon Section 42 tax credit credits (PCED capital project No. 35, "SRO Study," Acc't. No. 810798). A successful Section 42 tax credit application will require, in part, a demonstration that both a qualified project developer and project operator are part of the project in order to ensure residents are properly served. Therefore, the selection of these service providers represents a step that may help lead to project fruition.
