COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION
At its regular meeting on February 16, 2010, by a vote of 4:0, (Bist absent), the Community
Redevelopment and Housing Commission recommended that the City Council approve and
authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute agreements regarding NSP 1 and
NSP 2 as noted above.
DISCUSSION
On May 4, 2009, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a Notice
of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 Funds. In July 2009, the
City submitted an application for $10 million. On January 14, 2009, HUD notified the City that they
were awarded the full amount as requested in the application. There were over 480 applicants and
only 56 awardees nationwide. Of these, only 15 are local governments.
As with NSP 1, funds may be used to benefit households with incomes up to 120 percent of area
median income, with a minimum of 25 percent of these funds spent on activities benefitting very
low-income households (50 percent AMI). The NSP programs, budgets and target goals are listed
below and will be implemented in the target area (Exhibit 1) as required by HUD.
Prog. Program Budget Goal
No. # of Homes
1 Down a ment Assistance Pro ram $400,000 10
2 Acquisition and Rehabilitation -

3 Acquisition and Rehabilitation - Rental
Housin $2,500,000 30
4 Admin $1,000,000 n/a
Total NSP Grant $10,000,000
Under NSP 2 requirements, 50 percent of the funds must be spent within 24 months and 100
percent in 36 months from the date of the execution of the contract. HUD is mandated to have
contracts executed by February 17, 2010. Because of these short timeframes to expend the funds
and the successful implementation of NSP 1 with our partners, staff is recommending that ANR
Homes, Inc. (ANR) and Orange Housing Development Corporation (OHDC) and C & C
Development continue implementing the Single Family and Rental Housing components,
respectively, for NSP 2.

Agreements for Federal NSP 1 and NSP 2
March 1, 2010
Page 3
The City, along with our partners, continues to implement the NSP 1 activities and expects to meet
the legislative deadlines for obligating (18 months) and expending (36 months) the funds.
Currently, we have obligated 87 percent of our funds and have expended 56 percent. Inherent in
single family and condo/historic programs is Program Income. This is generated from the
subsequent sale of properties to new homebuyers. Per HUD regulations, NSP Program Income
can only be used for activities approved in the NSP application. These include down payment
assistance, single-family acquisition and rehabilitation, condo/historic acquisition and rehabilitation,
rental housing, redevelopment and administration. As with the original allocation, HUD also
requires that 25 percent of all program income be used for activities that benefit households at 50
percent of Area Median Income (AMI); these funds will be programmed into the rental programs.
Additionally, 10 percent of the Program Income is to be used for program administration costs.
Staff is requesting that Program Income generated by NSP 1 be recognized and approved for use.
Given the nature of these programs, staff expects to continually recycle program income into NSP
activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
By submitting the executed grant agreement, the City of Santa Ana will be eligible to receive up to
$10,000,000 in grant funds from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

items have been completed to the satisfaction of City.

amounts remaining shall either be paid to Developer or applied by City against any obligations to
City that are secured by a lien on the Property, as they elect in their sole and absolute discretion.
906.6 Failure to Satisfy Conditions. In the event that Developer fails tofulfill
the Restoration Conditions within one hundred twenty (120) days (unless extended pursuant to
Section 19.5) following the date on which the damage occurs, the Proceeds shall be applied by
City against any obligations to City that are secured by a lien on the Property, and the selection
of which such obligations to apply the Proceeds against shall be made by City in their sole and
absolute discretion.
906.7 Restoration. Nothing in this Article 19 shall be construed to excuse
Developer from repairing and restoring all damage to the Property, regardless of whether
insurance proceeds are available or sufficient.
906.8 Condemnation; Treatment of Compensation
Subject to any superior rights of Senior Lender, Developer hereby assigns to the City, as security
for all obligations to City secured by a lien on the Property, all amounts payable to Developer in
connection with any Condemnation, and any proceeds of any related settlement (collectively,
"Compensation"). Subject to any superior rights of Senior Lender, Developer shall deliver such
remaining Compensation to City immediately upon receipt. If the taking results in a loss of the
Property to an extent that, in the reasonable opinion of City, renders or is likely to render the
Property not economically viable or if, in City's reasonable judgment Developer's security is
otherwise impaired, City may apply the Compensation received due to judgment or settlement in
connection with any condemnation or other taking to reduce the unpaid obligations secured in
such order as City may determine, and without any adjustment in the amount or due dates of
payments due under the Note. If so applied, any award in excess of the unpaid balance of the
Note and other sums due to City shall be paid to Developer or Developer's assignee. City shall
have no obligation to take any action in connection with any actual or threatened condemnation
or other proceeding.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the value of City's liens are not impaired,
any condemnation proceeds may be used by the Developer for repair andlor restoration of the
Project.
20

(b) Nothwithstanding the foregoing, during the tax credit compliance period for the
Project, as determined under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, any condemnation
proceeds maybe used by the Developer for repair and/or restoration of the Project.
906.9 Waiver of Subrogation. Developer hereby waives all rights to recover
against the City (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of City) for any loss
incurred by Developer from any cause insured against or required to be insured against;
provided, however, that this waiver of subrogation shall not be effective with respect to
any insurance policy if the coverage thereunder would be materially reduced or impaired
as a result. Developer shall use its best efforts to obtain only policies which permit the
foregoing waiver of subrogation.
The required certificates shall be furnished by the Developer at the time this Agreement is
executed. Certificates verifying such coverage has been extended to the City of Santa Ana must
be furnished to the City of Santa Ana City Attorney's Office (M-29), 20 Civic Center Plaza,
Santa Ana, CA 92701 prior to the commencement of work hereunder.
907. Builders Risk Insurance. The Developer shall be responsible to cover the
properties during the course of rehabilitation. It is recommended that such insurance provide
coverage on an all risk basis, including theft and vandalism, for accidental losses, damage or
destruction of the Property.
908. Right of Access. For purposes of assuring compliance with this Agreement,
representatives of the City shall have the right of access to the properties, without charges or
fees, at normal construction hours during the period of construction for the purposes of this

rehabilitating the improvements so long as City representatives comply with all safety rules. The
City (or its representatives) shall, except in emergency situations, notify the Developer prior to
exercising its right pursuant to this section.

volunteers from and against any and all loss or damage, expenses, injuries, death to any person,

freely signed this Agreement without any reliance upon any agreement, promise, statement or
representation by or on behalf of the other party, or their respective agents, employees, or
attorneys, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and without duress or coercion,

inure to the benefit of, Developer and City and their respective successors and assigns. Other
than as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer shall not assign any of

consent may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. Any such assignment without
such consent shall, at City's option, be void.
916. Prior Agreements; Amendments; Consents. This Agreement (together with the
related documents) contains the entire agreement between the City and Developer with respect to
the NSP funds and the Property, and all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements are
superseded by this Agreement. No modification of any this Agreement (including waivers of
rights and conditions) shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom
enforcement of such modification is sought, and then only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose given.
917. Governing Law. All of the NSP documents shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California and Federal law, whichever
is more stringent. Developer irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the
Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange or the United States District
Court of the Central District of California, as City may deem appropriate, in connection with any
legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Assuming proper service
of process, Developer also waives any objection regarding personal or in rem jurisdiction or
venue.

unenforceable or invalid shall affect the remaining provisions, and to this end all provisions of
this Agreement are hereby declared to be severable.
919. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and those of any other NSP documents, this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided,
shall prevail; provided however that, with respect to any matter addressed in both such
documents, the fact that one document provides for greater, lesser or different rights or
obligations than the other shall not be deemed a conflict unless the applicable provisions are
inconsistent and could not be simultaneously enforced or performed.
