RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY

SRHT is proposing the Skid Row Central 1 Project, a scattered site project, which entails the resyndication and rehabilitation of two properties, the Rossmore and Weldon Hotels. The hotels are subject to the provisions of the Wiggins Settlement Agreement and Development Guidelines and Controls for Residential Hotels in the City Center and Central Industrial Redevelopment Project Areas (the “Guidelines”). The combined total number of units at the hotels is 118. Currently, the Rossmore has 58 rent-restricted units and the Weldon has 56 rent-restricted units. There are two manager’s units at each location. The proposed scope of work will result in the overall removal of three (3) restricted units and two (2) managers’ units. After the rehabilitation, there will be a total of 57 rent-restricted units at the Rossmore (a one unit reduction); 54 rent-restricted units at the Weldon (a two unit reduction); and one manager’s unit in each building. The Guidelines stipulate that no permit for demolition, rehabilitation or conversion of a residential hotel unit(s) will be approved by CRA/LA, unless: The proposed new use is an affordable housing project with recorded affordability covenants for not less than 55 years; or the residential units are replaced on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the methods set forth in the Guidelines; and all displaced persons must receive relocation benefits. The rehabilitated units in the Rossmore and Weldon will have new recorded affordability covenants with a term of 55 years. The Guidelines provide an exception to the one-for-one replacement requirement. If the proposed rehabilitation is for the continued use by lower income households and the scope of

ROSSMORE & WELDON HOTEL REHABILITATION PAGE 2 work will improve living conditions, a project can qualify for a reduction in units of up to 25%. In addition to upgrading the overall building systems, the specific aspects of the proposed rehabilitation that will improve living conditions for the tenants include the addition of an elevator at the Rossmore, adding air conditioning to units in both buildings, and providing new appliances to all units at both of the hotels. The removal of one unit at the Rossmore is necessary for the new elevator. Two units and one manager’s unit will be removed at the Weldon and the space converted to the provision of supportive services for tenants. When completed, the rehabilitation will result in the loss of one (1) unit or 2% of the restricted units at the Rossmore and the loss of two (2) or 3% of the restricted units at the Weldon. Section A.4. Notification of CRA Board

in the Settlement Agreement stipulates that “Regardless of any exemption in the Development Guidelines CRA staff shall notify the CRA Board of any proposed projects reducing the number of Residential Hotel Units prior to permit sign-off.” Since these proposed unit reductions meet the criteria in the Guidelines, staff intends to clear the building permits.

The Settlement Agreement and Guidelines also require that if the rehabilitation work results in the displacement of occupants, a Relocation Plan must be approved by the Governing Board. The rehabilitation work proposed by SRHT will not result in the permanent displacement of tenants. Although it is anticipated that most of the tenants will continue to reside in their buildings’ units during the work, the in-place rehabilitation process will require the temporary relocation of tenants to other units. As such, in addition to the Relocation Plan, SRHT has also prepared Tenant Habitability Plans for each property, which are included as attachments to the Relocation Plan. The Relocation and Tenant Habitability plans, together, adequately define the accommodations for and compensation to affected tenants during their temporary displacement. Staff recommends that the Governing Board approve the plans.

SRHT owns and operates numerous residential hotel projects in Los Angeles. As part of the resyndication and recapitalization of these projects, SRHT is undertaking major improvements to each of the buildings to improve the living conditions, enhance tenant services, improve energy efficiency, and increase the physical life expectancy of each building. The rehabilitation plans for both locations entail upgrading and/or replacing all major building systems (e.g. roof, windows, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and seismic), adding air conditioning, putting new finishes in units and common areas, and providing new appliances. SRHT has executed an Accessibility Regulatory Agreement with the City of Los Angeles’ Housing and Community Investment Department (“HCID”), which requires that any accessibility deficiencies be addressed as part of the work. The proposed reduction of three (3) units is necessary to enable the installation of an elevator at the Rossmore and to increase community space at the Weldon for tenant supportive services. By improving the living conditions, the work conforms with the Guidelines requirements for an up to a 25% reduction in the number of units.

DISCUSSION & BACKGROUND

Completion of the proposed rehabilitation is expected to take approximately 14 months. A portion of the work will require that tenants temporarily vacate their units. SRHT has prepared a Relocation Plan defining the assistance that will be provided to the tenants who will be temporarily relocated. In summary, the plan identifies that tenants in 102 of the 114 units will need to be temporarily relocated for a period of 10-15 days. SRHT will be able to accommodate most of the displaced tenants within the units that are currently vacant within the Weldon building. Should the number of currently vacant units be insufficient for the planned staging of the rehabilitation work, the developer has identified nearby off-site hotels to accommodate them, and would provide the affected tenants with the necessary per diem to cover the costs.

INTRODUCTION Skid Row Housing Trust (“Developer”) has proposed the Skid Row Central 1 Project (“Project”), a scattered sites project consisting of the Rossmore Apartments at 905 East 6th Street and the Weldon Apartments at 507 South Maple Avenue in Los Angeles, CA (“Subject Property”). The Developer plans to rehabilitate both existing buildings, which are wholly owned by the Developer in Downtown, Los Angeles. Figures 1 and 2 below show the property locations.

Figure 1: Location Map, 905 E 6th Street

CENTRAL 1 RELOCATION PLAN

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 4

Figure 2 Location Map, 507 Maple Ave The Rossmore and Weldon are currently affordable buildings with 114 units restricted for low income individuals at 50% AMI and below. Additionally there are four units reserved for resident managers. Approximately 26% of the units in the buildings receive rental subsidy from the Shelter Plus Care program, while approximately 50% of the units in the buildings receive rental subsidy from the Section 8 Mod Rehab program. Thus, the vast majority of residents are disabled, have special needs, and/or have experienced chronic homelessness. The recapitalization will reduce the unit count of restricted units by three units, while the resident manager units will be reduced from four to two in order to create supportive services space, install an elevator, and address a wide number of financial and physical aspects at the property to ensure long term sustainability. At the end of rehabilitation the Project will have 113 units, including 111 restricted affordable SRO units. Project Description: The Skid Row Central 1 recapitalization project will accomplish several significant goals for the properties including: (1) preserving and extending affordability and a commitment

CENTRAL 1 RELOCATION PLAN

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 5

to house individuals with special needs; (2) retrofitting the major building systems (e.g. roof, windows mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, seismic) to increase the physical lifetime and energy efficiency of each building; (3) increasing operating income by modifying rental subsidies and establishing dedicated services funding; and (4) addressing significant building amenities such as accessibility and thermal comfort to make the building more suitable for the existing population. Most importantly, this project will provide an increased quality of life for the residents by updating units, improving common areas, and addressing major deficiencies. Skid Row Central 1 will promote sustainable and healthy living and reduce operating costs by potentially incorporating energy-efficient systems and appliances, recycled and low-VOC materials, and renewable energy through a solar PV system and solar thermal system, as well as reduced and efficient water usage throughout the project. The Developer estimates 90% of units will be occupied at time of construction in November 2016. Financing Plan and Applicable Relocation Requirements: The Developer has received an award of 4% Federal and State of California Low Income Housing Tax Credits, an allocation of Tax Exempt Bonds (issued by the California Municipal Finance Authority), and a commitment for private conventional loan for the construction period. The Developer is also in the process of extending multiple existing loans from the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Los Angeles Housing Department (both now administered via the City of Los Angeles Housing + Community Investment Department). In addition, the Developer has been awarded additional permanent capital funding from the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (“HCD”) Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention and has received funding commitment from the Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program. The Developer has been awarded operating subsidies from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services’ Housing + Health program and has an existing Shelter Plus Care subsidy contract administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles. The Developer anticipates approval from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a conversion of existing Section 8 Mod Rehab contract to Project Based Voucher under the Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD). Relocation plans will comply with all applicable regulations under RAD.

Relocation Plan Scope and General Approach to Providing Relocation Services:

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. (“OPC”), an experienced relocation consulting firm, has been selected to prepare a Relocation Plan (“Plan”). OPC may be retained by the Developer to manage the relocation assistance program and provide relocation services to the residents. The HCD funds will trigger relocation requirements under the State of California Relocation Assistance Law (CRAL) and Guidelines (the Guidelines). Should federal funds for the Project, the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as amended (URA), may also be triggered by this Project. This Plan is designed to satisfy the requirements of the CRAL and Guidelines and includes the policies, procedures and limitations of the Developer’s relocation program including assistance to persons who may be temporarily relocated. This plan generally describes the persons impacted by the project, the projected relocation schedule and phasing plan, and the estimated relocation program implementation cost. This Plan has also been prepared to comply with the URA and California Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s (CTCAC) requirement to prepare a relocation plan for occupied rehabilitation projects and provide the Developer and its Project team with a road map for the temporary tenant relocation project. HCID requires the preparation and approval of Tenant Habitability Plan and Notice of Primary Renovation Work prior to the start of construction. At the request of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles, the Tenant Habitability Plan prepared for the Central 1 project is included as an attachment to this Relocation Plan, and is intended to provide further detail about the projected timing of temporary relocation and any mitigation measures included to protect tenants of the Rossmore and Weldon.

CENTRAL 1 RELOCATION PLAN

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 7

RELOCATION PLAN A. METHODOLOGY AND ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS This initial version of the Plan was developed in conversation between the Developer and OPC. Personal interviews with the tenants will be conducted by the Developer’s staff or OPC staff to ascertain the household’s needs including those related to physical, mental and emotional impairment, medical, and transportation. This data will be used to finalize temporary relocation housing resource needs and the move plan for the Project. Follow up interviews will be conducted prior to the start of each phase of the Project to affirm and verify needs. This plan will be updated as needed to reflect additional information that will improve the quality of the relocation program. B. DEMOGRAPHICS There are 102 resident households that will be impacted by the Project. The majority of the residents are formerly homeless, single men. There are residents that have some physical disabilities and a wide range of mental health needs. It is also assumed that there may be some residents whose first language is not English. Physical, mental or emotional needs must be understood, planned for and accommodated during the temporary relocation process. The interview process will identify such concerns on a per household basis. Special needs will be a central and important consideration in the execution of the move program. Where possible, residents will be kept near the services, such as medical and social services that they may require. Where necessary, written communications will be translated into the household’s primary language or an interpreter will be utilized to communicate with them effectively. C. RELOCATION STRATEGY The project will impact as many as 102 tenant households including on-site management staff. The Developer’s planned rehabilitation will be to temporarily relocate each resident for a period of 10-15 days to a vacant unit within their building or another vacant project unit (e.g. from the Rossmore to the Weldon). Each resident will be provided with a furnished temporary unit for this period of time. Each resident will be

CENTRAL 1 RELOCATION PLAN

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 8

provided assistance to move any personal property needed to their temporary unit. In the unlikely event that a project unit is not available; they will be relocated to a temporary suitable, decent, safe and sanitary hotel/motel unit for the short duration of the relocation. In no event will residents be relocated for more than 30 calendar days.

Construction of both sites will take approximately one year. Each unit will be modernized. The Developer will provide tenant notification and advisory services.

At any point during the construction phase, especially for instance when common areas, courtyards, or other community facilities are inaccessible, residents can request to be shuttled in Developer-owned, ADA compliant vans to the New Pershing for Weldon residents and the Lincoln Hotel Apartments or the Produce Apartments for the Rossmore residents. Both sites are owned by the Developer, are 0.1 miles or less from the Project sites respectively and have full-service kitchens, lounges and televisions. These sites will be made available during working hours while construction is underway at the project.

Furthermore, residents will also maintain access to all social services and case management services currently provided to them. Residents currently have access to a community kitchen within their building and do not have kitchens within their individual units. Residents will be able to utilize the community kitchen all day.

All temporary relocation, will conform to the requirements of the CRAL and Guidelines URA, HUD Handbook 1378 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), , as applicable.

A rehab coordination program will be created and staffed 24-hours a day to act as a liaison between the construction team and the residents. The rehab coordinator will mediate any issues or conflicts that may arise during construction. The rehab coordinator will ensure there are smooth transitions to off-site locations and that the residents are fully aware of the amenities available to them and have appropriate access. A building rehabilitation hotline has also been created and can be reached at (213) 683-0522 x 199 or at [email protected]. Resident Services staff will also assist residents in languages other than English, as needed.

D. PROJECT OCCUPANCY ISSUES All households are in an appropriate sized unit for the number of persons in the household. Overcrowding is not a concern at the Property. E. TEMPORARY HOUSING RESOURCES All households are expected to be temporarily housed in a unit within the Project. The residents currently occupy furnished SRO units. If residents need to be accommodated in off-site, hotels will be utilized and per diem will be provided. Two hotels within the Developers were located proximate to the Property that could be utilized for the Project. Should other hotels be needed, a more extensive search will be conducted.

• Stay on Main: 640 S Main St, Los Angeles, CA 90014 • America’s Best Value Inn: 1123 W 7th St, Los Angeles, CA 90017

F. PROGRAM ASSURANCES AND STANDARDS The Developer’s Relocation program assures the residents impacted by the Project of the following.

1. All households will have the opportunity to remain at the property and reside in a rehabilitated unit post rehab.

2. Each household who will be temporarily relocated will be provided with reasonable assistance to relocate including relocation advisory services, moving assistance to transport personal property to their temporary housing (no furniture will be required to be temporarily relocated) as needed, and a temporary housing stipend will be provided for them. The Project is subject to the CRAL and Guidelines. Residents will not be eligible to receive permanent relocation assistance under these regulations and guidelines as they will not be considered to be a displaced person.

3. Each household will receive advanced noticing and their relocation rights will be communicated to them in writing. Where necessary these documents will be translated into the head of household’s primary language.

4. Adequate funds have been budgeted in the Project to assist the households in accordance with this Plan. The Developer will pay relocation costs through its Project financing.

5. Any assistance provided will be provided to ensure that it does not result in different, or separate treatment of households based on race, nationality, color,

religion, national origin, sex, marital status, familial status, disability or any other basis protected by the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, and the Unruh Act, as well as any otherwise arbitrary or unlawful discrimination.

G. RELOCATION PROGRAM The relocation program has two components - Advisory Services and Relocation Assistance. The Advisory Services and Monetary Relocation Assistance components of the program are described below. Advisory Services: The Developer’s designated relocation coordinator or specialist will be available to provide Advisory Services to all households. The intent of this part of the program is to inform residents about the program, their rights, answer their questions about the relocation program and help them plan and execute their temporary relocation. The Developer will provide ample and reasonable notice to the residents regarding the Project, the relocation program and the date of the households move. Specific activities for each category of relocation are shown below. Advisory Services will include:

1. Distribution a General Information Notice/Notice of Non-displacement. 2. Distribution of a minimum of a 30 Day Notice to Vacate. 3. Presentation and explanation of a Memorandum of Understanding explaining

their relocation rights and the relocation assistance to be provided. 4. Coordination of moving assistance services. 5. Coordination of temporary housing services. 6. Coordination of necessary transportation, meals and other services. 7. Assistance with completion and filing of any necessary relocation claims, and

appeals forms, if necessary. Relocation Assistance: Moving Assistance

CENTRAL 1 RELOCATION PLAN

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 11

The Developer will provide packing materials to the residents to pack any personal property they need to move with them to temporary housing. If they require assistance transporting this personal property to and from their temporary unit, such assistance will be provided. The residents do not own their own furnishings, and each current unit, and unit post rehab is furnished for them. Temporary Housing Assistance Households will be temporarily relocated within the Project. Rossmore residents will be relocated to vacant units at the Weldon for a period not to exceed 30 calendar days. Weldon residents will be temporarily relocated internally within the Weldon for a period not to exceed 30 calendar days. Per Diem

The community kitchens within both buildings will be renovated during the rehab process. The kitchens are anticipated to be inaccessible to all residents for approximately one to two weeks. The Developer will provide a per diem payment to each resident of $64 per day as long as the kitchen is not able to be utilized by residents. This rate shall also apply in cases where a resident is housed in a hotel without kitchen facilities.

Moving Stipend

All residents who experience temporary relocation and are moved either internally within the Weldon or from the Rossmore to the Weldon will receive a $100 moving stipend as compensation for the inconvenience of temporary relocation. This may be paid in two installments of $50, once when residents move into their temp unit, and once when residents return to their rehabilitated unit.

H. PAYMENT OF RELOCATION BENEFITS Should there be relocation benefit payments payable directly to the resident they will be made in a reasonable period of time. Claims and supporting documentation for relocation benefits for tenants must be filed with Developer no later than 18 months after the date they are moved to a permanent unit. Tenants must have prior written approval to incur relocation expenses to ensure that they will be compensated.

CENTRAL 1 RELOCATION PLAN

Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 12

Developer does not anticipate that tenants will incur relocation expenses, as all packing supplies, moving labor, transportation, and utilities will be paid for by Developer. Developer will work closely with any resident with special circumstances, as applicable, to ensure that all costs are fully covered by Developer. I. EVICTION POLICY Eviction will only be used as a last resort. Eviction will only take place in cases of nonpayment of rent; a serious violation of the rental agreement; a dangerous or illegal act in the unit; or, if the household refuses all reasonable offers to move.

J. APPEALS POLICY All households will have the right to ask for review of a matter when there is a grievance regarding any of its (the household’s) relocation assistance; including the determination as to eligibility, the amount of payment, or other issue germane to the relocation process. K. PROJECTED DATES OF RELOCATION The Project is expected to commence in November of 2016. Relocations of the residents are not expected to occur any earlier than November of 2016. Notices to vacate will be provided 30-days in advance of each move. In unit construction work that will trigger temporary relocation is not anticipated to begin prior to January of 2017. L. ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS The Developer will pay for all actual and reasonable relocation assistance costs including any actual and reasonable out of pocket costs of the residents. The Developer will also voluntarily make payments to the residents to provide them dislocation assistance.
