A. DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
Work Statement
Newtown CDC (CHDO), acting in the capacity of a developer, will acquire and rehabilitate up to
two (2) single-family houses in Chandler. This is a scattered-site homeownership project and will
target zip codes 85224, 85225, and 85226 to be supplemented by the specific street address. Parties
agree to execute an addendum, once properties are identified. Addenda to this Agreement identifying
individual properties by street address for participation in Newtown’s Chandler Community Land
Trust Program (CLT) will be executed before funding is made available. Funds will be paid to
CHDO only after the CHDO has met the Commitment requirements as set forth in 24 CFR 92.2 (1)
and (2) respectively and is prepared to commence construction within twelve months.
Funds for rehabilitation are obligated by completing a detailed set of plans and specifications (work
write-up) and completing a detailed construction/rehabilitation cost estimate based upon those
specifications. Such cost estimate may include a contingency for construction change orders of up to
15% for rehabilitation and up to 5% for new construction. The Administrator must inspect the
property prior to occupancy and at project completion to ensure compliance with applicable
standards and codes. The property must be free from any defects that pose a danger to the health
and safety of occupants, and must meet written rehabilitation standards and local codes and
ordinances at project completion. Copies of final inspection must be retained in the project files and
submitted to the County upon submitting completion report.
Completed homes will be sold to eligible low-income first-time homebuyers. Properties will be
acquired using the CHDO’s line of credit, following completion of environmental review
requirements.
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.
Upon resale of the property to an eligible buyer the Administrator will provide a Deed of Release and
Reconveyance (By Beneficiary) for the secured acquisition funds.
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. A Memorandum of Ground Lease and Right of First Refusal are recorded. A
“Performance” Deed of Trust is also recorded with the CHDO as the beneficiary; this ensures the
CHDO is notified in the event the owner of the improvements attempts to refinance or transfer the
property.
The shared appreciation provision conforms to Maricopa HOME Consortium Recapture/Resale
Provisions: “Fair Return” for leasehold properties is defined as the lessees purchase price, plus 25%
of the lessee’s share of the increase in leasehold value at time of resale based on a leasehold valuation
performed by a duly licensed appraiser.
Declaration of Affirmative Land Use Restrictions: Upon sale to an eligible buyer, a Declaration of
Affirmative Land Use Restrictive Covenant for HOME Project is executed between the
Administrator and CHDO and recorded against the land to secure the Period of Affordability as
required by HUD. The Period of Affordability is based on the total amount of HOME funds
invested in the housing.
Eligible buyers will be required to complete an approved homebuyer education class and
homeownership counseling. Eligible buyers will also be required to complete a CLT orientation, at
which time the ground lease, resale restrictions, shared equity and all other provisions of the CLT
program are fully explained.
Beneficiaries: Up to Two (2) first time homebuyers at or below 80% of the area median income level.
CHDO will secure affordability through the Resale Provisions.
Beneficiaries income eligibility will be verified by CHDO staff and will comply with 24 CFR
92.203(d)(1).
Consolidated Plan – Project will increase homeownership opportunities for low and moderate
income households. High priority rated in the Consolidated Plan.
