Nonprofit seeks $100,000 to build four units for extended‑family caregivers on city‑gifted lot
Summary
A local nonprofit asked the advisory board for $100,000 to complete a four‑unit affordable housing project on a city‑gifted 2‑acre parcel; staff said the $100,000 falls below the administrative approval threshold and would proceed through the city manager's office if approved.
A community nonprofit presented a plan to build four 2‑bedroom, 2‑bath units on a city‑donated parcel, intended to house extended‑family caregivers at HUD‑approved affordable rents. The organization said it has completed contractor selection and is seeking a final $100,000 to move into permitting and construction.
The presenter said the city has appraised the donated land at $300,000 and the nonprofit counts that as equity in the project's pro forma. Staff confirmed that a $100,000 request falls under administrative approval thresholds and would be routed through the city manager's office for execution. Board members asked about timelines for vetting residents, the contractor selection and fund uses; the presenter said vetting could take a few weeks and that the nonprofit plans to start permitting immediately when funding is confirmed.
