AGR-
not to exceed $22,850,000 for the purpose of financing the acquisition and construction

AGR-
Project; approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of any and all documents
13285.0.2
necessary to execute and deliver the Notes, substantially in the form approved hereby,
complete the transaction and implement this Resolution, and ratifying and approving any
actions heretofore taken in connection with the Notes (1455 S. Salvation Place and 1340
S. Lewis Street).
Interim Director Grace Stepter explained the item is a Housing Authority resolution authorizing
the issuance of Multifamily Housing Revenue Notes for the Salvation Army Center of Hope
Apartments, in an amount not to exceed $22,850,000, for the purpose of financing the
construction and acquisition of the permanent supportive housing that will be co -located at the
Center of Hope. She explained this is one of the final steps in a multi-level financing program
for the project so that the Salvation Army has everything they need in order to break ground,
which is currently scheduled for January 31, 2022.
She noted a Preliminary Funding Award Letter was first brought to the Housing Authority
Governing Board on December 17, 2019 and the project would be 100% affordable for persons
whose income is at or below 30% of area median income, for the neediest population and those
leaving homelessness.
She explained that the Salvation Army Anaheim Center of Hope Apartments is a California
limited partnership comprised of the Salvation Army Corporation and the project's tax credit
investor. Further, on April 27, 2021, the Governing Board of the Authority approved a resolution
regarding its intention to issue tax-exempt bond obligations and the City Council conducted the
required TEFRA public hearing.
Ms. Stepter explained the resolution would authorize the Authority to proceed and issue up to
$22,850,000 in bonds to secure the financing needed to begin the construction of this exciting
project. She noted there would be no budgetary impact as the Housing Authority was not
incurring any obligation to pay the Notes, but the bond debt would be paid by the developer
from project revenues.
DISCUSSION: Chairman Sidhu noted this is a great project with this final step of financing to
help it move forward, with no obligation to the City, and expressed his excitement for the ground
breaking.
Authority Member Faessel noted the project is located in District 5, stated he had been following
it since its inception, shared his advocacy with the Salvation Army and helped with some
financing from the Orange County Finance Trust, and stated the project could not be done fast
enough and he looked forward to receiving the groundbreaking invitation.
MOTION: Authority Member Faessel moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. AHA -2022-
001 A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY authorizing the execution
and delivery of its Multifamily Housing Revenue Notes in one or more series in a cumulative and
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $22,850,000 for the purpose of financing the
