Statler, Director of Finance Prepared by- Sharon F. Ross, Assistant Treasurer- SUBJECT: CITY PARTICIPATION IN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME AND "HARDSHIP" CASES IN CHUMASH MOBILEHOME PARK CONVERSION CAO RECOMMENDATION By motion, A. Authorize the CAO to execute loan documents in conjunction with the State loan program for four low-income tenants for the purchase of their mobilehome park spaces. B. Authorize the CAO to sign an agreement with the Housing Authority securing loans for seven "hardship" tenants for the purchase of their mobilehome park spaces. BACKGROUND On June 20, 1989, the City Council granted conceptual approval to two financial assistance programs designed to allow 11 households to purchase their spaces in Chumash Village Mobilehome Park. Of these, four are low-income tenants who are eligible for State loans (50% of the purchase price), but require additional assistance from the City. The combined amount is approximately $60,000. The remaining seven households are ineligible for State assistance and have various credit problems which prevent them from obtaining conventional loans. If the City agrees to guarantee these loans, the Housing Authority will borrow the funds from Commerce Bank and provide the necessary loans. The estimated loan amount for all seven cases combined is approximately $350,000. A copy of the Housing Authority's resolution authorizing an agreement with Commerce Bank for this purpose is provided in Attachment A. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS Amounts loaned under both of these programs are anticipated to be repaid and are secured by the space and mobilehome unit. However, an initial cash outlay of $60,000 is required for the low-income loan program and up to $20,000 may be required for the "hardship" loan guarantee program, assuming foreclosure is necessary. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION It is unlikely that alternative assistance programs can be arranged in a timely manner. As a result, the I1 households will not be able to purchase their spaces. Their rents, which are no longer controlled, will rise. Accordingly, their ability to remain in their homes may be jeopardized. �I�nl�i��►���IIIIIIIQP ���IU city of san tins osispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY It is recommended that the City Council: A.
