B.2 HOPE VI, Mixed Finance Modernization or Development, Demolition and/or Disposition, Conversion of Public Housing, Homeownership Programs, and Project-based Vouchers

HOPE VI:  None

Mixed finance Modernization or Development:

CHA continues an ongoing analysis of its entire portfolio of properties to specifically identify feasible candidates for mixed finance modernization or development.  Potential candidates would include: TN54001, TN54002, TN54003, TN54004, TN54005.  As of 1/1/17, CHA has begun the first phase of a redevelopment effort at the Samuel Melton Heights public housing community which will include exterior redesign and the creation of a neighborhood park.  The project is funded through use of Capital Fund and CHA Operating Reserves.  A second phase is in the planning stages as of this date.  CHA has secured the assurance of the City of Cleveland that street resurfacing and additional sidewalk infrastructure will be made at the conclusion of CHA's modernization project(s).  As of 2/28/18, CHA completed the first phase the redevelopment of the Samuel Melton Height public housing community.  Due to uncertain funding levels, CHA will put the next phase on "hold" until 2018 funding levels are finalized. As of 12/28/18, CHA submitted a RAD application and will conduct extensive "due diligence" including an updated Capital Needs Assessment of its portfolio to determine the feasibility of a no-debt RAD conversion.  CHA procured the services of the Joe Schiff Group to assist in the evaluation of a potential RAD conversion during FY19.  As of 1/1/20, as part of CHA's due diligence towards a RAD conversion, it was determined that assessment of the benefits of taking on a Development Partner were in the best interest of CHA for determining the best method for preserving and expanding its affordable housing portfolio.  CHA solicited proposals from qualified Real Estate Developers to identify a potential Co-Developer partner and selected Total Communities Group (TCG).  Additionally, CHA intends that TCG will assist in the development of a Master Plan document to guide future preservation, modernization, rehabilitation, and construction of affordable housing units within its portfolio.  As part of the Master Plan, CHA intends to identify suitable and sustainable methods for creating new appropriately designed units to serve CHA's current tenant population of elderly and disabled tenants as well as the growing demand for similarly designed units.  The Master Plan will also include strategies for the highest and best use of: a) the Cooper Complex of eighty (80) studio & one-bedroom apartments, and b) the Baugh Clemmer townhouse apartments which are strategically located to Lee University.  The Master Plan also calls for re-configuration of selected buildings as well as surgical demolition and new construction of appropriately designed single level units for elderly/disabled clients.  CHA remains open to the pursuit of alternative funding and grant opportunities that may support the modernization of existing portfolio units for repositioning to achieve CHA's long-term goals for a sustainable affordable housing portfolio.  CHA remains committed to exiting the Public Housing Program and converting to the Multi-Family Program through RAD.   

Demolition and/or Disposition:

As part of the comprehensive analysis of its portfolio, CHA determined the need of demolishing a portion of the buildings in Development TN54-003 (Samuel Melton Homes) and received HUD approval in July of 2014. As of 9/30/15, CHA completed a surgical demolition and is preparing an Exterior Redesign and Modernization Project for the remaining buildings at this location. CHA will examine disposition of selected Developments as part of identification of the "highest and best use" within an Asset Management philosophy.  The demolition (density reduction) and disposition (re-positioning) activities being proposed will be contingent upon HUD approval.  Demolition/Disposition will be considered for all CHA developments: TN54001, TN54002, TN54003, TN54004, TN54005.  Specific use of the "de-minimus" demolition provision will be utilized as appropriate.  As part of the "due diligence" for a potential RAD conversion, CHA continues to explore the potential for disposition of strategic assets in order to leverage funding to develop appropriately designed units to better serve CHA's existing elderly and disabled clients.  In 2017, CHA created Tanasi Housing Development Corporation, a non-profit entity to assist/support future development of affordable housing and the re-development of CHA's existing portfolio.

CHA will continue to search for housing replacement opportunities including acquisition of existing developed properties as well as vacant property for future development within Cleveland/Bradley County.  This activity will also include possible participation in tax-credit and other development opportunities that promote the expansion of affordable housing when appropriate.

CHA in partnership with Housing Solutions, Inc. conducted a portfolio analysis of all PIH properties in 2009, for the purpose of developing strategies for decision making regarding capital investment, acquisition, demolition, disposition, and redevelopment activities to position CHA properties to best meet the housing needs of the community. As of 1/31/19, CHA and The Schiff Group will be conducting an re-assessment of CHA's portfolio. 

B.5 Progress Report

  • (a) Progress in Meeting Mission and Goals:

CHA Goals and Objectives:

  1. Develop strategies for evaluation and reconfiguration of the PIH Inventory.  CHA engaged Mobley & Associates to conduct Strategic Planning and assessment of its portfolio and include the following:

   *  Analyze current population growth trends.

   * Examine supply and availability of affordable housing in the area.

   *Evaluate density reduction options (demolition/disposition). 9/1/15, CHA executed a HUD approved "surgical" demolition of 14 units at Samuel Melton Heights in preparation for the 1st phase of a re-development effort at that development.

   *Perform handicap accessibility improvements for Section 504 compliance.  As of 2/1/2015 - CHA secured a grant from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) Housing Trust Fund for the creation of two (2) additional fully accessible units. As of 3/30/17, THDA grant project was completed.

  1. Develop strategies for creation of alternative funding sources to support ongoing activities of the housing authority.  As of 12/28/19, CHA submitted a RAD application to explore the feasibility of converting to the Multi-Family funding source and exiting the Public Housing Program model.  On 9/17/20, CHA submitted a CHAP Amendment to HUD to revised the CHAP to recognize a multi-phase conversion of the portfolio.
  2. Create a Non-Profit 501(c)3 organization for future development partnerships and initiatives.  As of 7/6/17 - non-profit organization established - Tanasi Housing Development Corporation.
  3. Develop opportunities to leverage Capital Funds to promote comprehensive modernization and improvement in all PIH developments.  As of 1/30/15 - CHA submitted a grant application to the Clean Tennessee Energy Grant Program for funds to replace inefficient electric radiant baseboard heating systems and reduce the annual energy consumption and related expense. This wasn't funded.  As of 3/30/17, CHA has submitted an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) proposal to HUD for review and approval.  The EPC will be performed in conjunction with Johnson Controls, Inc. to provide energy improvements to all public housing units to reduce utility expense and improve quality of life for CHA residents.  As of 12/1/17, following receipt of HUD approval of the EPC, CHA and Johnson Controls, Inc. began implementation of ECM's throughout CHA's portfolio to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy and water consumption at all CHA owned residential properties.As of 2/1/19, CHA completed the EPC and converted all units to tenant-paid utilities.
  4. Develop strategies for providing additional Security for all public housing developments. As of 6/1/14, CHA contracted for "above baseline" patrolling of its properties with Cleveland Police Department. As of 12/21/17, CHA completed the installation of Security Camera's at the Lay Street community as part of the first phase of its redevelopment.
  5. Create a dialogue for expansion and collaboration of development & redevelopment areas with City and County stakeholders. As of 1/23/17, the City of Cleveland has responded and begun discussions regarding CHA's role in the redevelopment of downtown and other areas of Cleveland.
  6. Explore options for development of new units designed for the elderly. As of May 2017, Lee University purchase land and constructed a new dormitory across the street from CHA's 80-unit apartment complex and main office building.  Communication with Lee University continues to explore the possible sale of CHA units for student housing.
  7. Explore alternatives for "highest/best" use of existing PIH units.  Current renovation and modernization activity are directed by Strategic Planning objectives identified from the Portfolio Analysis.  During 2019, an updated Capital Needs Assessment (CNA) will be conducted as part of the RAD feasibility effort.  The updated CNA will be used to formulate future modernization and/or re-development strategies for CHA's portfolio.  During 2020, CHA developed a Master Plan with its development partner TCG that details a plan for surgical demolition and new construction of units under the RAD conversion strategy.  As of February 2021, CHA's RAD conversion status is as follows: after completion of the master plan, CHA contemplated a 6-month pre-development process to be ready for a bond application for the first phase (306 units) that included drafting plans and specifications, cost estimating, and all needed third-party reports.  The State HFA (THDA) opened a joint 9%/4% application process on January 5, 2021 and by the second week of January, THDA closed the application period due to an oversubscription of bond applications.  As of this date, CHA continues to complete the work necessary for the bond application in the event that THDA decides to forward-fund from future year(s) volume cap, and if not, CHA will have a final application that can be submitted the first day in 2022 when THDA re-opens the application period.  Also, during the master planning process, we carried out some due diligence for a second financed project, the demolition and replacement, either on-site or off-site, of the 80 units at Site 8: Walker Street.  CHA is weighing the possibility of preparing an application for Site 8 to be submitted in the same round as Phase 1, also as a 4% project.  CHA intends to submit a CHAP amendment to reduce the single CHAP to a CHAP for Phase 1 (306 units to result in 301 units, with 5 CAT/TOA units), to update to the 2021 RAD rents, to reset the Excess Tenant Utility Reimbursements, and possibly also adjust the utility allowances.  CHA will request a Portfolio Award for the remaining 114 units in which CHA is proposing a limited demolition at sites 9 and 10, followed by new construction of single-story buildings more suitable to seniors and person with disabilities.  CHA intends to maximize the opportunities presented in the Rental Assistance Demonstration to position its portfolio of properties for sustainability to preserve and, when appropriate, expand the affordable housing stock in Cleveland and Bradley County.
