Commission approves multiple contract extensions and amendments for Barnes-funded projects
Summary
The commission approved contract amendments and extensions for Urban Housing Solutions, Habitat for Humanity and Woodbine Community Organization and updated draw schedules; staff said these changes respond to redesigns, infrastructure delays and scope changes.
The Housing Trust Fund Commission approved several contract amendments and extensions that staff said respond to redesigns, permit and infrastructure delays, and scope changes.
Urban Housing Solutions: Staff described an amendment and extension for a Round 10 award originally for $2.1 million to construct 13 units; redesigns prompted a request for an extension and a scope change that will allow tracking of five additional non-Barnes units. Jayla moved to approve the amendment; Anton seconded. A commissioner announced an abstention prior to the vote; the chair announced the motion carried.
Habitat for Humanity: Staff recommended a 12-month extension on a Round 10 grant of $1,980,000 to address site and infrastructure delays (NES work, weather, pandemic impacts and Metro review). The project has had two draws (one over $200,000 and another over $675,000). The commission approved the extension; the record notes one abstention.
Woodbine Community Organization: Staff recommended an extension and a change to the draw schedule for a Round 10 award of $2,470,000 to build 182 homes. The amendment allows additional predevelopment draws not exceeding 25% of the grant. Finance is closed and construction has begun; the commission approved the amendment.
