This term sheet should be completed by PHAs proposing to use public housing funds for new construction, substantial rehabilitation, or direct financing to purchasers of non-public housing, for-sale homes. These activities are governed by the Middle-Income1 guidance and Section 24(d)(1)(j) and Section 9(d)(1)(j) of the 1937 Housing Act (also known as Section 24/9). For PHAs proposing new construction, substantial rehabilitation, acquisition or direct financing to purchasers of non-public housing, for-sale homes, the homeownership proposal is comprised of this term sheet and submission of attachments listed at the end of this document. A PHA does not need to also submit a Homeownership Plan.

Those PHAs wishing construct public housing for sale to purchasers (including lease-purchase) should complete a Development Proposal to be submitted to the HUD Field Office and a Homeownership Plan in accordance with the Section 32 regulations found at 24 CFR 906, and submit the Section 32 Plan to HUD’s Special Applications Center. PHAs proposing a Section 8(y) Housing Choice Voucher program should amend their Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plans, and do not need to complete this term sheet. For a complete description of the Middle-Income, Section 24/9, and Section 32, Section 8(y) programs, refer to Some Homeownership Guidelines for PHAs found at http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/ph/hope6/mfph/ho_guide.pdf For additional guidance, refer to HUD’s Cost Control and Safe Harbor Guidelines for Homeownership found at http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/ph/hope6/mfph/ho_safeharbor.pdf

This term sheet consists of five sections, and should be completed by the PHA for submission to the HUD Grant Manager for presentation to the Project Review Panel. If the PHA wishes to provide information relevant to its proposed homeownership project that is not specifically solicited in this term sheet, please include this information in Section C (XVII), Additional Information on the Project. Upon review by the Project Review Panel and the HUD Grant Manager’s request, the PHA should then submit required documents listed at the end of this term sheet. This term sheet contains the following five sections:

  1. Homeownership Project Summary: Check boxes and a brief narrative description of the homeownership project.

  2. Roles and Responsibilities: A description of project partners and their roles and responsibilities.

  3. Statement of Terms: A description of the project terms between the PHA and other parties for the specific project under review.

  4. Attachments: Documents that should be included with the initial submission of the term sheet to HUD.

  5. Documents: Documents that must be submitted prior to obtaining HUD approval of, and release of funds for, the proposed homeownership project.

A. Homeownership Project Summary

For your reference, Some Homeownership Guidelines for PHAs offers detailed descriptions of each homeownership program listed below, definitions of terms, and explanations of homeownership proposal provisions.

For new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects, HUD will evaluate whether the sources listed are sufficient to build the project, the use of PHA Capital funds for construction and/or permanent use, the ratio of public housing funds to private funds for construction and permanent use, whether costs are within Homeownership Cost Control and Safe Harbor Standards for Homeownership Mixed-Finance Development, and whether the uses appear reasonable.

Instructions: For new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects, complete the Excel spreadsheets Construction and Permanent Sources and Uses. The construction cost estimate should be based on schematic drawings and outline specifications and current construction costs prevailing in the area.


IV. Subordinate Financing

Purpose: If a PHA is proposing to provide direct financing to purchasers through subordinate mortgages, HUD will evaluate: (1) the amount of direct financing; (2) the terms of recapture of the direct financing; and (3) the proportion of direct financing as compared to the appraised value of the housing.

  1. Market Study and Marketability of Units

Purpose: PHAs proposing to construct, rehabilitate, or acquire non-public housing units must include a Market Study as an attachment to this term sheet.

Instructions: PHAs proposing these activities should describe the type and nature of the outreach the PHA (or its partner) will conduct to make an informed estimate of the pool of potential purchasers.

What are the expected sources of project income (e.g., repayments of loans, PHA development fees, etc.) and what is the PHA’s planned use for this project income?

     


  1. Gains from Appreciation

Purpose: To determine if the PHA’s provisions (where applicable) adequately protect the PHA’s investment in the homeownership project.

Instructions: If a PHA is writing down the cost of construction (e.g., the construction cost exceeds the sale price/appraised value), it must consider a provision in its homeownership project to recapture all, some or none of the gains from appreciation. This provision limits the amount the subsidized original purchasers can realize due to appreciation of the property upon sale for a period of time, and is generally recorded in a deed restriction. The PHA’s recapture policy on appreciation may range from no recapture to recapture of total appreciation. This provision only applies to the sharing of sale proceeds and does not address the recapture of financing that the PHA may elect to provide directly to a purchaser.

If applicable, describe how the PHA will treat the gain upon resale that the subsidized buyer can realize due to appreciation of property.

     


  1. Recapture Provisions

Purpose: To determine if the proposed recapture provisions (where applicable) are appropriate for the target purchasers, are coordinated with direct financing terms of local partnering affordable homeownership programs, and adequately protect the PHA’s and purchasers’ investments in the homeownership project.


Instructions: The PHA must set a policy regarding recapture upon resale of government-provided

assistance and/or direct financing made to the purchaser to the extent that there are net proceeds. This includes the PHA downpayment, closing cost assistance, subordinate mortgage financing, or below-market financing (e.g., sale the unit for less than appraised value of the home). However, this policy may range from no recapture of assistance to full recapture of assistance.

If applicable, describe the terms of the direct financing to purchasers and terms of recapture. Describe also the method of recapture (e.g., via a promissory note). If the PHA chooses to forgive the direct financing over time, fill out the table below as applicable. (Table may be modified to reflect longer-term or shorter-term forgiveness schedule).

If there is additional direct financing from participating local affordable homeownership program partners, briefly describe the terms of their direct financing and amount of direct financing per purchaser. Describe how the PHA’s direct financing terms coordinate with the local program partners’ financing terms.
