The homes will be constructed on land provided to Newtown by the City of Tempe through a Disposition and Development Agreement. The total project cost, including the four (4) HOME-assisted units, is estimated at $2.3 million. The completed HOME- assisted units will be sold to eligible low-income first-time homebuyers. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section IV Compensation, CHDO will execute a Deed of Trust and Note provided by the Administrator and naming the city as Beneficiary in order to secure any funds provided to CHDO as reimbursement for acquisition costs. Resale provisions will be used to ensure compliance with the period of affordability required by HUD at 92.254 of the HOME regulation. The affordability restrictions will be secured by a CLT Ground Lease and a Declaration of Affirmative Land Use Restrictions. Completed units shall be sold through the CLT program in which the buyer purchases the improvements only and enters into a 99-year CLT Ground Lease with the CHDO. The CLT Ground Lease contains provisions that require the housing to be used as the buyer’s principal residence and restricts resale / transfer only to Low-Income buyers. In addition, the CLT Ground Lease has a shared- appreciation provision that limits the sale price of the housing and helps ensure affordability for future buyers.
