EXHIBIT A - STATEMENT OF WORK 
 
1.0 
Project Description: 
1.1 
The Project described herein as Community Land Trust “CLT”, shall acquire, 
rehabilitate, and resell scattered-site affordable, single-family homes in the City 
of El Mirage. All homes will be ARPA assisted and sold to homebuyers earning at 
or below 120% of Area Median Income “AMI” adjusted by household size. 
 
1.2 
Maricopa County will procure a developer to undertake the Project. The 
developer will be responsible for providing access to safe, affordable housing 
through a Community Land Trust (CLT) program. The program increases the 
supply of affordable housing and increases homeownership opportunities for low-
to-moderate income individuals and families to build family wealth. 
 
1.3 
CLT homes are “permanently” affordable. The public investment (subsidies) used 
to make the homes affordable stays with the land. The ground lease contains a 
shared appreciation provision and resale formula that is designed to balance the 
competing interests of maximizing the CLT owner’s return on investment and 
protecting the community’s investment in affordable housing. CLT owners can 
receive a fair return on their investment and the homes remain affordable for 
future buyers. 
 
1.4 
The developer shall identify properties on the market to be purchased within the 
given restrictions. Once acquired, the developer shall evaluate all major systems 
of the houses to make sure they are in working order. If all major systems are in 
working order, then finishes are addressed. The homes are made home energy 
efficient when feasible with added insulation in the attic and updated windows. 
 
1.5 
Total project costs for the homes will be approximately $2,264,000. Properties 
are acquired and rehabilitated using the developer’s line of credit. ARPA funds of 
$1,000,000 will be used for acquisition and rehabilitation. 
 
1.6 
Once a house is rehabbed, the developer will sell it to a low-to-moderate income 
individual or family for below market value. To keep the price low, buyers pay 
only for the house itself and the CLT retains ownership of the land on which the 
home is located on. The developer then leases the land to the homeowners 
through a low-cost, long-term renewable lease. This arrangement allows families 
to build equity and enjoy all the benefits of homeownership while the CLT retains 
the initial investment and keeps the resale price low for future buyers. 
 
1.7 
If CLT homeowners decide to sell their houses, the developer shall purchase the 
home at the original purchase price plus 25% of the increased value of the 
house, which allows the first homebuyer to make a profit, while still ensuring that 
the house remains affordable. The developer shall then resell the home to 
another income-qualified buyer, keeping the house and land in the CLT for an 
infinite period of time for future first-time homebuyers. 
 
1.8 
The developer holds the lands in trust and monitors the condition of the 
properties as well as the resale restrictions that ensure the homes remain 
affordable for future buyers. The developer’s stewardship includes on-going 
support for the CLT homeowners to ensure their long-term success.

1.9 
The developer will be a HUD-approved housing counseling agency and has 
adopted the National Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling. 
Certified counselors help clients resolve credit issues, find sources of down 
payment assistance, and provide assistance throughout the home buying 
purchase process. Eligible CLT buyers are required to meet with a housing 
counselor, attend a CLT orientation, and complete a homebuyer education class 
before they are able to finalize the purchase.
