SUMMARY:Scoring Live Local: An Early Look at the Suitability of Sites Using the LLA's Land Use Mandate
DESCRIPTION:Scoring Live Local – An Early Look at the Suitability of Sites Using the LLA’s Land Use Mandate\nDescription: \nThe Live Local Act introduced a land use mandate permitting affordable housing developments meeting certain conditions on land zoned for commercial\, industrial\, and mixed use. The Act raised questions on the location of projects taking advantage of this mandate – would the override of local land use controls allowing these developments in non-residential areas promote projects in places less suitable for homes? Or would other parameters and forces guiding development still steer projects to suitable areas? The Florida Housing Coalition undertook a locational scoring analysis to better understand these questions now that this mandate is two years old. \nThis webinar will explore FHC’s process and takeaways when scoring 92 proposed Live Local sites for housing suitability. The Coalition analyzed proximity of these projects to a set of amenities (parks\, schools\, grocery stores\, and more) and distance from land uses typically requiring buffers from residential development (industrial uses and other land uses that might create negative impacts on nearby housing). Tune in to hear us release this information as we continue to analyze the effectiveness of the Live Local Act.

SUMMARY:WORKSHOP:  The Affordable Housing Development Process
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION: Holden Heights Community Center\n1201 20th Street\, Orlando\, FL 32805 \nThis workshop is designed to introduce the underwriting process that takes place after a funding award has been approved.  The invitation to credit underwriting is a vital first step to prepare for before applying for financing.  It is a complex and critical part of financial agreements that will govern the short- and long-term process of the development’s feasibility.  The presenters will help de-mystify the underwriting process and provide guidance that begins in the predevelopment phase and continues throughout the closing process.  Participants will receive step by step instruction about third-party analyses and the documentation that will be required throughout the underwriting process. The training will include information from a FHFC Credit Underwriting service provider and will address timeframes and sequencing.  This training is provided for newly formed and experienced nonprofit housing developers and local government housing staff who are responsible for in-house underwriting of SHIP\, HOME\, or other publicly available assistance. \nWho Should Attend? \n\nNonprofit developers\nDevelopers working with cities and counties\nHousing program administrators and community partners interested in affordable housing development\n\nKey Topics: \n\nExploring the Credit Underwriting Checklist\nUnderstand the three components of successful Credit Underwriting: the project readiness\, the financial feasibility of the deal\, and the developer capacity\nIn-house credit underwriting: skillsets required and minimum threshold

SUMMARY:Credit Underwriting and Development of Homeownership Projects
DESCRIPTION:With rising construction costs and skyrocketing property insurance costs\, developing affordable for sale homes is difficult. Before the land is conveyed\, the feasibility of a development must be underwritten. The presenters will outline the process a credit underwriter uses to assess the financial feasibility of an affordable homeownership project. Participants will consider the calculations involved with answering questions like:  What is the maximum price the home can be sold for? Does the sales price support the cost of developing the home? How much Downpayment Assistance is needed for the homes sold to the lower AMIs? How does a community land trust affect the project financially?

SUMMARY:Community Benefits and Outcomes of Permanent Supportive Housing
DESCRIPTION:Permanent Supportive Housing is an essential component of the affordable housing stock. This type of development prioritizes persons most vulnerable in our communities\, with the lowest incomes and highest service needs\, including persons experiencing homelessness and individuals with disabilities. The strategy of implementing and expanding Permanent Supportive Housing capacity is a proven best practice in addressing chronic homelessness\, which is on the rise in Florida. This webinar will discuss how to analyze unmet housing needs\, developing partnerships with community-based service providers\, and financing of PSH. The presenters will discuss community benefits including reduced costs on emergency room visits\, jail time\, police interventions\, and more. They will also detail the importance of separating functions of support services and property management to best support people in housing to sustain their housing long term. Participants will hear from PSH developers about their experience with FHFC’s competitive solicitation process and how they effectively created partnerships with supportive service agencies to promote housing retention and permanent transitions out of homelessness and into stable housing. Attendees will learn about the specific RFAs designed for supportive housing\, as well as the team members needed and the process of successfully developing supportive housing.
