Page C� forth HUD-400M (7,93) EXHIBIT I GENERAL INFORMATION A. Summary The City of Lubbock's HOPE 3 Program is a program for providing affordable first time Homeownership opportunities to families with incomes at or below 80% of the median. Special preference and consideration will be given to applicants currently residing in public housing who meet the underwriting criteria for the HOPE 3 Program as prescribed in the regulations. Even though the City of Lubbock's program does not anticipate displacement, should it occur, displaced homeowners who meet the program underwriting criteria will also be given first preference. In addition, second preference will be given otherwise qualified eligible families who have completed participation in an economic self-sufficiency program. The program will provide mortgage and interest subsidies if needed, in order to make the housing affordable and to comply with the provisions on affordability in the regulations. The number of homebuyers to be assisted will be thirty-six, twenty-nine financed through HOPE 3, one from RTC and six units which are being donated by the City for use in the HOPE 3 Homeownership program. The program jurisdiction will be the City of Lubbock and it will be carried out City wide. The majority of the City of Lubbock HOPE 3 program would consist of the purchase and resale of houses to qualified applicants. The houses under this component will be sold as -is. The rehabilitation of the property will be done by the eligible buyer utilizing partial funding for the rehabilitation out of the HOPE 3 grant and the City's existing CDBG Below Market Rate Interest Loan /No Interest Deferred Payment Rehabilitation Loan. All health and safety repairs would have to be completed prior to move -in. If approved, the HOPE 3 Homeownership Program will be advertised in the Lubbock Avalanche Journal (a newspaper of local circulation) as well local minority newspapers. The program criteria for homebuyer selection will be announced as well as dates for pre -homeownership counseling and training classes. Applications will be taken on a first -come first -served basis. Six houses will be donated by the City for use in the program. These houses were acquired with City funds for the expansion of Indiana Avenue from 34th to 50th Streets. The houses will be moved from the right-of- way to affordable housing neighborhoods in the city and rehabilitated for resale. The six houses to be donated by the City will be rehabbed after setting them on a lot with HOPE 3 funds. The proposal is to assist thirty-six families with closing costs, the estimate of which is $30,000.00. Replacement reserves have been budgeted at $40,000.00, Counselling and Training at $10,000.00, and Recipient Training at $7,000.00, Homebuyer Outreach and Selection at $6,400.00, Property Management and Holding Costs at $25,000.00. The HOPE 3 sale of properties component will assist thirty families and the estimated cost for 29 houses with one being donated will be approximately $870,000.00 or $30,000.00 a piece. All thirty-six houses in the program will receive a participation from HOPE 3 funds for rehabilitation and the amount budgeted for rehabilitation is $550,000.00. It is also anticipated that to complete these program activities the City of Lubbock would need 1 Rehabilitation Coordinator, 1 Loan Processor, 1 Loan Officer, and 4 Rehabilitation Housing Inspectors. As described in the plan for use of sale and resale proceeds, the number of additional homebuyers expected to be assisted through the use of sale and resale proceeds would be three (annually). As shown in the attached chart, 1.3 % of the City of Lubbock population is Asian/Indian, 22% is Hispanic, 8.7% is African American and 68% is Anglo. The total population of Lubbock is 186,206. 2 HOPE III TARGET AREA (CITY WIDE) CITY OF LUBBOCK CENSUS TRACTS 104,01 I 1 PARTIAL • I I 2.01 etur srptwr 7 I 102 I----- 4.05 ursuw�srJ `z"sr, � PARTIAL w � 5 EAswtisr 104.02 4.04 4.02 4.03 I I � I � i17.06 17.02 16.01 I x I I � , a+r►+srwcer 1 �� 18.01 1 L 17.0 I 117 I I I I .98 7.05 I � I t I I I � I 104.03 I 10401 PARTIAL I !------------ 3.01 03 os 7 r an+arwerr 4 oe 16.02 15 14 13 NTH nworr 0 19.01 20 123 1' 24 solws wwr 18.03 19.03 21.01 v 22.01 V i 18.0 L">« 19.04 121.02 122.02 105.04 105.05 105.06 I wmanee[r I I ' --------- 11 10 I I I I I I I (war+nr+arwrlf , 12 I I � I I 25 I 4 I 1 I I I L-1I I CITY LIMITS ------------ NORTH r•2 1990 Ethnic Breakdown by Percentage `r- O C' Total Population - 186.206 Asian/Indian 10 Pafl1C" 22 African American ;3 0 SHALLOWATER 79363 REESE FORCE BASE 79489 C POSTAL ZIP CODE MAP LUBBOCK, TEXAS NEW DEAL 79350 URSUUNE ST a 72415 z < z 70418 4TH ST c1f, _ 79410 79401 19TH ST 1 34TH ST > 79407 , 79411 or < 79412 ,,�aF`�� 79414 19413 ` 289 LOOP EVEN 3S 289 LOOP (ODD) WOUFORTH 98TH ST 79424 cc 79423 79382 0 114TH ST 79403 c 19TH ST 79403 P:LJ 1DALOU 79329 $LATON 79384 11 D.

Page form HUD-4000 (7/93) EXHIBIT 2 APPLICANT INFORMATION A. Applicant Identification The City of Lubbock Housing and Community Development Staff will administer the HOPE 3 Homeownership Program, and Lubbock Habitat for Humanity Inc. will perform as the non-profit. Lubbock Habitat for Humanity was chartered by the State of Texas in June, 1987 as the Lubbock Affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. In it's six years of existence, Lubbock Habitat for Humanity has completed six houses and sold them to working poor Lubbock families. Four of the six houses were new construction and the other two were major rehabilitation projects. The houses are generally small (1,000 to 1,200 square feet) and have no frills, but the quality of construction is high. The six families currently residing in Habitat houses have taken very good care of their property and have rarely fallen behind on their payments. Lubbock Habitat is governed by an independent volunteer Board of Directors. It has a mailing list of approximately 600 supporters and workers, of which 60 are active on committees. The first paid staff member, a half-time executive director, was hired in January, 1992. On the most recently completed house, 159 different volunteers worked at least one shift. Financial support of the work comes from individuals, churches, civic groups and grants. Currently Lubbock Habitat for Humanity has a HUD HOPE 3 Implementation Grant. The families receiving houses also support the work with their house payments, which are recycled into building more houses. Lubbock Habitat has three committees that work very closely with the families receiving houses. The first is the Family Selection Committee, which advertises the Habitat program in the community, reviews the applications, interviews the families, evaluates their present living conditions, and recommends recipient families to the Board of Directors. Second, the Building Committee works regularly with each family during construction as the family puts in it's required 500 hours of "sweat equity". Third, the Family Partnership Committee helps the family adjust to it's new responsibilities and logistics after the family is in •the house. These contacts promote the kind of full understanding and cooperation the Habitat hopes to make for the up -building of communities for years to come. The administrative staff that will carry out the HOPE 3 Homeownership Program will be one and the same as the Housing and Community Development Staff of the City of Lubbock. There will be an 14 Administrator, a Rehabilitation Coordinator, four Housing Inspectors, one Loan Officer and one Loan Processor. B. Qualification and Experience of Applicant The Administrative Staff of the Housing and Community Development Department of the City has extensive experience in handling financial resources. For example, the staff has administered a Housing Rehabilitation Program for almost twenty years. Grants, as well as below market interest rate loans, have been made. Also, the Housing and C.D. staff has been an active participant in the HUD Section 312 Loan Program, having participated in it for almost fifteen years. The City has administered three years of Urban Homestead and has successfully acquired and disposed of 34 properties with no defaults in that period. In addition, the City currently implements a Joint Venture for Affordable Housing Program. The local HUD Federal Housing Administration Office, the Local Homebuilders Association and the City of Lubbock are in partnership to construct affordable housing. The City makes the lots available and takes preliminary application profiles from potential mortgage loan applicants, FHA insures loans and local lending institutions make the loans and the homebuilders are committed to building affordable housing (between $28,000 and $35,000) in virtually untried low income areas of the city. The Financial Control Procedures involve at the minimum four cross checks when funds are requested and distributed. A Rehabilitation Inspector normally initiates a Request for Payment and the Rehabilitation Coordinator reviews and checks the request. The Rehabilitation Coordinator submits the request to the Housing and C.D. Bookkeeping section and the Bookkeeper reviews and checks the request before passing it to the Administrator for approval. The Administrator reviews and checks the request and it is sent to the Purchasing Department for payment. The Purchasing Department reviews and checks the request and cuts a check that goes back to the Bookkeeping Section. The Bookkeeper checks the check for accuracy and records the check and the inspector that initiated the request receives the check and signs for receipt of the check. The Housing and C.D. Staff administers two separate Homeownership programs currently. The Joint Venture for Affordable Housing Program is a new construction program that utilizes no federal funding whatsoever. Families wanting to buy a home, usually first time homebuyers apply to have a profile of their eligibility for a mortgage loan to our office. Their employment is verified, their recurring expenses are verified and credit history is looked at. After all income and living expenses have been verified, underwriting ratios are looked at. This information enables us to determine the size and cost of house the family would be eligible for. After the size and cost of house is determined, the family is provided with a list of new construction contractors and they shop for the best deal they can get. Once a builder and lot is determined, the family is provided with their Mortgage Profile File that 15 HOPE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM CITY OF LUBBOCK/LUBBOCK HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, INC.

Each of the sessions prior to Phase I and Phase II shall consist of two parts making for a total number of sessions of eight (8). sessions may include subjects such as counseling and training related to financial management, home maintenance, home repair and general rights and responsibilities of a homeowner. Responsibilities include marketing the training sessions, keeping attendance records and distribution of materials associated with HOPE 3 applications. Responsibilities of the Housing & Community Development Department of the City of Lubbock: It shall be the responsibility of the Housing & Community Development Department to compensate Lubbock Habitat for Humanity, Inc. for its work under this Memorandum of Agreement at a rate not to exceed $10,000.00. It is understood that this compensation will come directly out of the City's HOPE 3 Grant and that $5,000.00 will be promptly paid to Lubbock Habitat for Humanity, Inc. after the completion of the pool of HOPE 3 Homeownership applicants for Phase I of the program. A second installment of $5,000.00 shall be promptly paid to Lubbock Habitat for Humanity, Inc. after the completion of the pool of applicants for Phase II of the HOPE 3 Program. Term of Agreement: As agreed upon after the funding of the HOPE 3 Program application by the Housing & Community Development Department of the City of Lubbock and Lubbock Habitat for Humanity, Inc. an y et a r. Pennington n Housing & Communi y Development Acting Executivre Director Administrator Lubbock Habitat for Humanity, Inc. 16 they and their builder can present to the Mortgage Lender of their choice. The eligibility is based on FHA Mortgage Insurance guidelines and the lenders utilize our information to fund the loan. Since the inception of the Affordable Housing Program, an estimated 58 new Affordable Houses have been built. This program has generated over $3 Million in new construction activity. The City of Lubbock's second Homeownership Program has been Urban Homestead. Under this homeownership program, 34 properties have been acquired and disposed of to eligible homesteaders. All 34 properties were rehabilitated utilizing the Section 312 Loan Program. This first group of homesteaders are two years away from receiving unconditional ownership to their properties. In order to insure that the Homesteaders have every advantage of becoming successful homeowners, a series of Homeownership Nurturing Classes are set up which we feel are very beneficial to new homeowners. All Homesteaders are required to attend 4 of 1 two-hour classes. This year's Nurturing Classes will include: filing income tax returns as homeowners, wills - what can happen without one, insurance policies - How to file a claim, crime prevention in your neighborhood, code violations and code enforcement, consumer credit counseling - good money management, mortgage and foreclosure - how to save your house. The Homeownership Programs have not had any major audit findings in the last five years or since their inception. (See attached audit report). The City of Lubbock was the recipient of an FY 1992 HOPE 3 Implementation Grant. The total amount of the grant was $1,000,000.00 and 70% of these grant funds have been expended to date. The City's Housing and Community Development Department facilitated the homebuyer's direct purchase of 8 properties from HUD/FHA without the City first acquiring the unit. Twenty-three (23) properties have been acquired utilizing HOPE 3 grant funds and ten (10) properties have been acquired by the City and donated for use in the 1992 HOPE 3 program. A total of forty-one (41) properties have been made available through the efforts of the HOPE 3 program. Of these, eight (8) have been sold to the applicant and are being occupied by the applicant, the remaining thirty- three (33) are under contract to the applicants and ten (10) of those are currently being rehabbed. Environmental and legal document problems were encountered during the first year of the program, but it is our firm belief that those problems have now been resolved and this HOPE program should flow even smoother.

These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Lubbock, Texas management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial ' statements of the City of Lubbock, Texas, taken as a whole. The accompanying schedules of federal financial assistance, Community Service Block Grant Contract #612048, Energy Crisis Intervention Program Contract #592048, Weatherization Assistance for Low -Income Persons Contract #562048 and the Emergency Homeless Contract #661048, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose ' financial statements. The information in these schedules has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. December 31, 1992 Lubbock, Texas 21 A. EXHIBIT 4 HOMEBUYER INFORMATION Plan for Selection of Eligible Families. 1. The City of Lubbock's HOPE 3 Program is a program for providing affordable first-time homeownership opportunities to families with incomes at or below 80% of median. Special consideration will be given to single parent heads of households. Preference will be given to applicants who are displaced, who reside in public housing or who have completed participation in an economic self sufficiency program as prescribed in the regulations. The average family size will be 4 in the family and it is anticipated that at least 13 will be female heads of households. The average income will be 55% of median. The composition of the residents and potential eligible families is expected to consist of 10 White, 12 Black and 14 Hispanic families. 2. The following Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Strategy will be utilized: a. Families who reside in low to very low income neighborhoods, particularly minority impacted neighborhoods and those who live in public housing are considered the least likely to apply. b. Special outreach will be targeted to these neighborhoods by advertising the program in minority newspapers, passing out fliers to neighborhood churches, community centers and schools and by recruiting potential homeowners from public housing through the local Housing Authority. 3. Potential homeowners from all racial and ethnic groups will be informed of homeownership opportunities through the HOPE 3 Program. The program will promote the concept of fair housing and help to eliminate discrimination in housing due to age, sex, race, religion or disability. Specific steps to inform potential applicants about the program are as follows: a. Ads or news releases will be placed in all local newspapers informing the public about the program. b. Fliers will be passed out to neighborhood churches, schools and community centers of low to very low income neighborhoods. C. Neighborhood Associations will be informed about the program and fliers will be distributed to them. d. A contact person will be established with the local Housing Authority to obtain lists of tenants paying rents at amounts that might facilitate for them a home purchase. Fliers will be mailed to these tenants. 4. Applicants interested in becoming homeowners through the HOPE 3 Program must first attend HOPE 3 Pre -Purchase Homeownership Counseling and Training. These classes, which are divided into two 2-hour sessions, are designed to thoroughly inform the applicants of the HOPE 3 homeownership process including the qualifying and underwriting procedures of the HOPE 3 program, as well as to educate them in money management, setting up a budget, correcting credit problems, etc. Applicants then receive a Certificate of Achievement for attending these classes which enable them to apply for a home. Each applicant is first evaluated as to whether or not they will qualify for a home through a regular mortgage loan and referred to a bank if they possibly meet bank underwriting criteria. If the bank does not approve them and if they meet the HOPE 3 underwriting criteria, they are put in the HOPE 3 program. Those applicants that are not referred to a bank are also put in the HOPE 3 program if they meet the HOPE 3 underwriting criteria. Credit reports will be pulled on all applicants and all income will be verified, applicants will be asked to furnish the Housing & C.D. Department with their most recent income tax return. Each applicant will be required to meet debt -to -income and housing expense to income ratios established for the program. Those applicants with credit problems or who do not meet other underwriting criteria for the program will be counseled with and if the credit or other underwriting problems cannot be resolved, they will be denied as an applicant for the HOPE 3 program. 5. Equitable procedures for selection of eligible families will be ensured through a lottery drawing for applicant placement for the order to view and select HOPE 3 houses. Applicants will be processed as a group after several counseling and training seminars have been held. Those applicants who are approved for the program will attend an Orientation Meeting where they will draw in the order they sign in for the Orientation Meeting for their own lottery placement number. The exception to the drawing is that those applicants that fall in a preference category would be considered first for the program as follows: B. a. Those in the first preference who occupied the property when it was selected for the program, would be given the opportunity to purchase the property through the HOPE 3 program if they meet the HOPE 3 underwriting criteria. This property would not be on the list for other applicants to view or select. b. Those in the first preference who live in public housing and who otherwise qualify for the HOPE 3 program would draw amongst themselves from the highest placement numbers to assure they get first choice to view and select houses. C. Those in the second preference who have completed participation in an economic self sufficiency program would draw amongst themselves from a second group of highest numbers to assure they get second choice to view and select houses. 6. The HOPE 3 Program Application for the potential homeowner will list all preference categories to be checked by each individual applicant. If an applicant indicates they are living in public housing, a verification form will be mailed to the proper entity requesting if there are any delinquencies and the amount due. The applicant will then be informed that the delinquent amount must be paid and to furnish the Housing b C.D. Department with a paid receipt for documentation for the files. Homebuyer Counseling & Training Plan 1. The following topics will be a part of the homeowner counseling and training program: a. Crime Prevention in your neighborhood. b. Tips for filing your income tax return. C. Code violations and enforcement. d. Money management- mortgage 5 foreclosure. e. Fire prevention. f. How to conserve energy in your home. g. Tips on maintaining your home - heater, air conditioner, etc. h. Home insurance policies. i. Last Wills & Testaments - What Can Happen Without One. 2. The City of Lubbock has projected to have 36 homes available for selection by eligible homeowners with an estimated 14 alternates being approved for a total of 50 families and individuals in the Program. Considering some will be single parent households, it is projected that the classes will train 75 to 85 individuals. C. 3. The classes will be offered the first Tuesday of every month form 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Homeowners are required to attend four one -hour classes. 4. The Counseling and Training services will be provided by Habitat for Humanity. Financing for Homebuyer's Purchase a. The average fair market value of the property at the time of sale to the buyer will average $29,000. b. The average sale price will be $26,100. C. The average downpayment will be 3% of the purchase price, or $783.00. This amount will be required to be paid by the owner. d. The houses will be sold at the actual price paid for the properties, the discount, if any, will be passed on to the HOPE 3 homebuyer. The average first mortgage will be for $26,100. However, if necessary to keep the HOPE 3 homebuyers debt -to - housing expense ratio within the 30% guideline, a HOPE 3 soft second Promissory Note could be utilized. e. The HOPE 3 properties will be rehabilitated in most cases through the City of Lubbock's Housing b Community Development Department's Residential Rehabilitation program. The average rehab cost will be $20,000. The source of the loans will be through the Lubbock Housing Finance Corporation with the City of Lubbock's Housing 3 Community Development Department administering and servicing the loan. f. Since the most it is intended to pay for a property is $33,500, the 10% discount allowed by FHA would not be enough to kick in a required HOPE 3 Promissory Note. However, if the City of Lubbock is able to purchase 5 houses or more from FHA at a time and the 15% discount is received, then a HOPE 3 Promissory Note would be utilized. Since the average cost of a property is projected at $29,000, the 15% discount would be $4,350. This would be the average amount of a HOPE 3 Promissory Note. D. Continued Affordability Plan Long term affordability will be insured by the low interest mortgage loans which will make the payments affordable from the inception of the loan. Also, the grant/loan rehab will bring the house to the City of Lubbock's Minimum Housing Code, thus eliminating major problems and expenses during the first several years of homeownership. Since the grant/loan rehab is part grant and part a low interest loan (3%), this will also insure long term affordability. Items addressed in the rehab will include cost energy measures, such as the installation of storm windows, storm doors, insulation, caulking, etc., thus making utility costs more affordable. The Replacement Reserve will also be available for homeowners to tap into, if necessary, for any major repairs which they may not be able to afford. Nurturing classes will be offered that will acquaint the homeowners with ways to save energy and maintenance, thus cutting down on utility and maintenance costs. Some taxes will be saved when the homeowners file for homestead exemption and elderly or disabled exemptions, if applicable. The City of Lubbock staff will ensure that the homeowners are aware of these exemptions. Exhibit 5: Program Schedule WW Nfllieet•nae.

EXHIBIT 6A BUDGET LINE ITEM DESCRIPTIONS A. Description of Budget Entries Line 1: Column A: $870,000.00 in HOPE 3 grant funds will be used to purchase 29 houses from the FHA and/or VA. The requested amount is based on the average price of a three bedroom which as been set at $30,000.00. The average price paid last year for a three bedroom was $29,000.00. Line 1: Column C: $487,000.00 in in -kind match contributions is based on the fact that last year the City of Lubbock over matched its grant by $154,280.00. This amount was determined by taking appraised value paid by the City on the ten houses donated for use in the HOPE 3 program last year. In addition, the City of Lubbock again this year is donating residential property who's recent appraised fair market value $332,729.00. The sum of these two amounts is $487,000.00 (rounded off). Line 3: Column A: $30,000.00 of grant funds for homebuyer closing costs is computed on the basis that 29 homes are anticipated to be purchased utilizing HOPE 3 funds and the City will escrow taxes and insurance. The average cost per house to cover these expenses is $1,034.00. The average cost for three months of escrowed taxes is $270.00, and a homeowners insurance cost of $764.00 per house is included (the resultant $30,000.00 figure is rounded off to the nearest hundred). Line 4: Column A: $550,000.00 of rehabilitation costs are included in the HOPE grant. This figure is made up of $10,000.00 allotted for rehabilitation per house for 30 houses and $41,666.66 for the six houses to be donated by the City for use in the program. The amount in the budget for these six houses includes moving the houses to a new lot, preparing the lot to have the house set on it, roughing in all plumbing for the house and completely rehabing the house once set. The resultant amount was rounded upward to the nearest hundred. IL Line 9: Column A: Replacement reserve has been budgeted at $40,000.00. The Replacement Reserve account will be used when a determination is made that a HOPE 3 homeowner has suffered damage or loss of any major system, i.e. sewer line, water line, electrical, water heater, heat and air etc. in his/her house and the homeowner is unable to afford the repairs. We have instituted a HOPE 3 Homeowner Mentor Program where a staff person is assigned as a mentor to each HOPE 3 home recipient, the recommendation for the use of Replacement Reserve Funds will originate with the family's assigned mentor. The need for this Replacement Reserve account directly relates to the financial status of the type of families we are serving under HOPE. The average median income of the families served under our 1992 HOPE program was 55% It is very difficult for families in this income range to do costly periodic maintenance on their different house systems. Most of the properties put in the HOPE program are between 35 to 40 years old and while they will be rehabilitated, some repairs will need to be done yearly, this fund is needed for these repairs. If it is recognized that a HOPE homeowner is in need of incurring substantial repair costs and that this might put their ability to maintain their monthly mortgage payment, the family Mentor would recommend the Replacement Reserve Fund be used instead. The City's Replacement Reserve preserves the integrity of the programs Long Term Affordability. Line 10: Column A: Homebuyer outreach budgeted at $6,400.00 will be used for newspaper and radio advertisement announcing the availability of the program. Line 11: Column A: Counselling and Training of Homebuyers has been budgeted at $10,000.00. This money will be used by the participating non-profit for educational materials, printing, etc. to facilitate a minimum of eight (8) Counselling and Training Sessions. Line 12: Column A: Property management and Holding Costs have been budgeted at $25,000.00. This would include temporary insurance on the properties prior to deeding and repairs and maintenance. An average of $694.00 for 36 properties has been included. 37 Line 13: Column A: Recipient Training is budgeted at $7,000.00. This includes travel for HUD training by the recipient and the non-profit staff as well as travel for training sought from other local Jurisdictions implementing HOPE programs. Line 19: Column A: The City of Lubbock is budgeting 10% or $171,600.00 for administration, this line cannot exceed 15%. Line 19: Column B: The City of Lubbock is using $85,200.00 or 5% Community Development Block Grant under administration for match.

Passed by the City Council this day of , 1993. ATTEST: Betty Johnson City Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: Sandy Ogletree, Housing & Coiim'unity Development Administrator APPROVED AS TO FORM: Linda Chamales, Assistant City Attorney 40 Exhibit 8: Plan for Use of Sale and Resale Proceeds Additional Resale Restrictions A. Attach a Plan for the Use of Sale and Resale Proceeds with the following components, as applicable: 1. An estimate of the amount of sale proceeds that are expected to be received by applicants who sell properties under the program to the initial homebuyers (not applicable to programs designed to only financially facilitate the direct purchase of properties by homebuyers from eligible sources). 2. An estimate of the amount of resale proceeds that homeowners may not retain upon sale of their property to a subsequent homebuyer and which must be returned to the applicant (to be shared by the applicant and HUD). In estimating resale proceeds that may not be retained by the homeowner, note that: (a) All homebuyers who sell their property during the first six (6) years after purchase are restricted from receiving any undue profit (See Section 572.130 (c) for computation of the proceeds retained by the homeowner). (b) All homebuyers who are required to execute a promissory note and who sell their property during the first twenty (20) years after purchase are restricted from receiving the full amount of the promissory note (Section 572.130 (d)). (c) If the applicant proposes, and HUD approves, additional resale restrictions beyond those required by the program regulations, further restrictions on proceeds the homeowner may retain upon resale may apply (see below). 3. A proposed budget and a description of the proposed use, by activity, for the total amount estimated by combining items 1. and 2. above. All proposed uses must be for activities listed in Section 572.135 (a) and (b). If the applicant wishes to propose to HUD other activities beyond those listed in the program regulations, describe the proposed activities in detail. Note: The proposed budget and use of these funds must be consistent with all requirements of Section 572.135(c). 4. Identification of the entity and its contact person by title, address, and phone number who will be responsible for ensuring that: (a) all sale and resale proceeds are collected, (b) all sale and resale proceeds are used for approved purposes after grant closeout, and (c) all amounts due HUD are promptly paid. B. If an applicant has identified in its Plan for Use of Sale and Resale Proceeds the use of all or a portion of those proceeds to create additional homeownership opportunities, provide the estimated total number of additional units expected to be assisted (do not include any units already identified to be assisted with gram or match funds as shown in Exhibill 3). Number of additional homeownership opportunities: 'three (3 ) C. Additional Resale Restrictions: If the applicant wishes to propose any additional resale restrictions for HUD approval beyond those already required by HOPE 3 Program regulations, attach a description of the specific restrictions being proposed and justify why they are necessary. Note: HUD will not approve additional restrictions that it determines will substantially limit the ability of homeowners to realize financial appreciation in the value of their homes. (Section 572.130 (e)) EXHIBIT 8 PLAN FOR USE OF SALE AND RESALE PROCEEDS ADDITIONAL RESALE RESTRICTIONS The Plan of the City of Lubbock for the use of sales proceeds to eligible families and amount families may not retain upon resale is simply to reinvest those proceeds in the purchase of additional eligible housing resources to continue providing affordable homeownership opportunities to those in need of housing. Any other program income will likely be so invested. The estimated amount of sale proceeds expected is $1,437,523.20 for 36 houses at a three percent interest rate for 20 years. The estimated average sales price of a house is $30,000. The City of Lubbock does not anticipate any resale proceeds. Our past experience in the Urban Homesteading program has shown us that families who are afforded homeownership opportunities are very stable. Out of the 34 homes we have awarded in the Urban Homesteading Program, no houses have turned over either to foreclosure or resale. We are very hopeful that this trend will continue. A Sales Proceeds Plan has been developed as follows: 1. Sales proceeds will be carefully tracked to clearly distinguish these funds from other types of program funds. 2. Assuming a twelve month period for 36 properties sales at an average monthly payment of $166.38, the estimate of property sale proceeds would be $71,876.16. The total estimated and uncommitted sales proceeds would be $71,876.16. These or any such proceeds will be spent to purchase additional houses. The estimated number of additional units expected to be assisted with sale proceeds within a 12 month period is approximately three (3). The person responsible for insuring that the all sale and resale proceeds are collected, used for approved purposes after grant closeout, and amounts due HUD are repaid is: Juan Antonio Reyes (Tony) Rehabilitation & Redevelopment Coordinator 1625 13th Street, Room 107 Lubbock, Texas 79401 (806) 767-2294 42 BUDGET Sale Proceeds $71,876.16 Purchase 3 Homes at $23,958.72 each Resale Proceeds -0- Total $71,876.16 Exhibit 9: Evidence of Public/Private Support A.

Such commitments might include direct financial assistance, donation of properties, infrastructure improvements, supportive services, or other tangbl � assistance. B. Attach any evidence of private sector and/or nonprofit organization commitment to specifically support the proposed program. Commitments from such groups as lenders, churches, neighborhood or community organizations, professional organizations or others which might include financial assistance, supportive services, donation of labor or materials, or other tangible assistance should be included. Note: General letters of support which do not commit to providing specific tangible services or other contributions are of minimal value In the rating of the application. Exhibit 10: Minority and Women -owned Business Enterprises A. Attach a description of the extent to which the applicant has used either Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) or Women -owned Business Enterprises (WBEs) in the past (Sections 572.320 (e) and 405(d)). B. Attach a description of any specific affirmative steps the applicant will take to ensure that MBEs and/or WBEs have an equal opportunity to compete and obtain contracts under the proposed program.

EXHIBIT 9 EVIDENCE OF PUBLIC/PRIVATE SUPPORT The City of Lubbock will support the HOPE 3 Homeownership Program by providing services that are key to the success of the Program. In addition, the City will provide the funds necessary to carry out all appropriate property management activities.

In the Housing and Community Development Rehabilitation and Affordable Housing Redevelopment Programs and HOPE 3, 58 percent of the contractors are Minority Business Enterprises. Of the contractors, two enterprises are women owned. One of the two is a minority business which specializes in handicap work, which is an asset to our program. In 1990 the City of Lubbock was recognized by the Office of Community Planning and Development of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for outstanding performance in Minority Business Enterprise during Federal Fiscal Year 1989. The City has worked closely with the local Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (COMA) in promoting Minority Business Enterprise. A recent COMA newsletter "The Hispanic Chamber" reported that the City has spent over one million dollars with minority businesses. The City works actively with COMA in getting minority businesses certified to qualify to bid on specialized jobs. The City of Lubbock will take additional affirmative steps to ensure that Minority Business Enterprises and/or Women -Owned Business Enterprise have an equal opportunity to compete and obtain contracts under the proposed program by advertising in various minority papers, discuss opportunities with contractors not already approved, and recruit through word of mouth. The City of Lubbock television station will produce a segment re- questing contractors to apply to be approved for the HOPE 3 program and other programs. 50 Exhibit 4: Homebuyer Information A.

Rehabilitation of the homes sold through the HOPE 3 Program will be required. The homebuyer will purchase the houses first and then be responsible for contracting for the rehabilitation, with the exception that defects that pose a danger to health or safety will be corrected before the ownership interest is transferred. 2. The owners will be required to bring the houses up to the City of Lubbock's Minimum Housing Code. This includes bringing all heating, plumbing and electrical systems to Code, interior & exterior painting, window replacement, weatherization, roof replacement, installation of new floor covering, countertops, sinks, bathtubs, commodes, light fixtures and appliances, etc. 3. HOUSING QUALITY STANDARDS PLAN a. After a property is acquired and before it is sold to a HOPE 3 applicant, the property manager will inspect the property and make a written assessment of its condition as to health and safety. In addition, selected properties will have passed all fire and habitability inspections. Steps will be taken to correct all health and safety deficiencies. b. Within the HOPE 3 Homeowner's Agreement signed by the HOPE 3 homebuyer, language will be included with specific requirements outlined which will include that within two years of transfer of a HOPE 3 property, each unit will meet the City of Lubbock's Minimum Housing Code Standards (which are higher than those standards established by HUD for the Section 8 certificate program), and all federal requirements including lead based paint and accessibility for persons with disabilities. Applicants will be encouraged to apply for the City of Lubbock's Community Development Residential Rehabilitation program which consists of a No Interest Deferred Payment Loan and Below Market Rate Loan. The minimum housing code requirements will be written into each work write-up. In some instances, HOPE 3 homebuyers with disabilities may be eligible for assistance through the CDBG Barrier Free Living Program. 4. Plan for Sweat Equity Management a. Description of Scope of Work 1. Anticipated work items which could be included as sweat equity would be for homeowners to prepare and paint the home, weatherstrip, caulk, clean yards, flower beds and alleys, cut down trees, and repair fences. Homeowners wanting to do more extensive repairs would need to have the training to do so. b. The homeowner would be required to complete the work within the same time frame as the contractor. C. Homeowners will, for the most part, need to have the knowledge and capability to complete the items approved as sweat equity. However, a State funded program called "Project Help" could be used to train homeowners in some areas such as painting, weatherizing and caulking, if necessary. d. The sweat equity work items would be supervised by a Housing Inspector employed in the Housing and Community Development Department of the City of Lubbock. e. Close supervision by the Housing Inspector would assure that in most cases, the sweat equity work items would be completed on schedule. However, if the items are not completed, the items would be covered through a change order with the homeowner and contractor to be completed as part of the rehabilitation loan. EXHIBIT 3 - UNIT INFORMATION PART D - APPLICANTS ESTIMATED AVERAGE PER UNIT ACQUISITION/REHABILITATION COSTS 2. Summary of the assumptions used to compute average applicant acquisition and rehabilitation costs. The acquisition information is based on the HOPE 3, Year 1 Programs acquisition costs. Average Acquisition Costs: 1 Bedrooms - We do not anticipate purchasing any 1 bedroom houses, the availability is not there and while we do not eliminate individuals from the HOPE 3 Program, we feel the funds are better spent on properties that would serve more than a 1 to 2 member household, not only now but from a resale standpoint, also. 25 2 Bedrooms - Under HOPE 3, Year 1, we purchased 4 two -bedroom houses at an average cost of $20,738 - rounded to $21,000. 3 Bedrooms - Under HOPE 3, Year 1, we purchased 18 three -bedroom houses at an average cost of $28,909, rounded to $29,000. 4 Bedrooms - Under HOPE 3, Year 1, we purchased 1 four -bedroom house at a cost of $31,100. We do not anticipate many four bedroom properties being available, but if so, the estimated cost of purchase should be about the same. 5 Bedrooms - We do not anticipate purchasing any 5 bedroom properties because the availability of 5 bedrooms is limited to non-existent. However, if one became available we would not anticipate paying more than $33,500. Average Rehabilitation Costs: To date, we have rehabilitated 5 3-bedrooms homes under the HOPE 3, Year 1 Program. These rehabs have averaged $21,000. This figure is being used for the average rehab costs for 3 bedroom properties and as a base rehab cost to compute the average rehab cost for two, four and five bedroom properties. Assuming that two bedroom homes will usually be smaller square footage wise, and four and five bedroom homes will usually be larger square footage wise than the three bedroom properties, 10% was added or subtracted for each additional or fewer bedrooms from the base 3 bedroom rehab cost to arrive at the average rehab cost for 2, 4 and 5 bedroom homes. Exhibit 3: Unit Information A. Units to be Used In the Homeownership Program. While In many cases the specific units to be acquired or donated will not be known, a review of currently available units of the type, size, and in the neighborhood(s) being proposed should provide sufficient information to complete this exhibit. 1.(a)Estimate the total number of HOPE 3 eligible units available for purchase or donation in the area(s) selected for thl"rogram or available for direct purchase by the homebuyer with assistance from the applicant. 1 36 (b)Attach evidence that at least 10 properties from eligible HOPE 3 sources are either currently available or were available during the previous 12 month period (such evidence may include dated lists of available properties from an eligible source, a letter from an eligible source, a dated copy of a public advertisement listing eligible properties for sale, etc.). 2.
