MULTIFAMILY FOR TOMORROW

Why RAD? (Component 1)

Public Housing inventory

▪ ~1.15 million units across 3,100+ PHAs

▪ Capital repair needs in excess of $25.6B across portfolio

($23,365/unit)

▪ Section 9 funding platform unreliable (pro-rations, appropriation

cuts), limited access to debt/equity capital (declaration of trust)

▪ Losing 10,000-15,000 hard units/year




Why RAD? (Component 2)

Affordable multifamily housing in legacy programs “at risk”

▪ Mod Rehab (23,000 units) – cannot renew contracts on terms

needed to secure financing

▪ Rent Supp and RAP (22,500 units) – no option to renew when

contracts expire




RAD key goals

RAD allows selected Public Housing and at-risk assisted Multifamily

“legacy” programs to convert their form of assistance to long-term

Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts

Key RAD goals

▪ Build on the proven Section 8 platform

▪ Leverage private capital to make needed repairs and preserve

affordable housing units

▪ Offer residents greater choice and mobility




PHA objectives

▪ Modernize aging properties

▪ Substantially rehabilitate deteriorated properties

▪ Demolish and replace severely distressed/obsolete properties

▪ Thin densities via PBVs and transfer authority

▪ Portfolio streamlining




RAD opportunities

▪ Gives PHAs tools to be market-driven affordable housing

developers

▪ Offers streamlined access to FHA financing with historic low rates

▪ Maximizes leverage of 4% & 9% LIHTCs by providing a stable

Section 8 contract

▪ Streamlines legacy programs onto existing platforms
