Minutes note: Appearing:
Mario Higgins
In a written statement submitted by Mr. Edward Matkom, Wisconsin Market President, Gorman & Company, Inc. the following was stated:
On november 2016 Gorman & Company, Inc., was awarded $100,000 for a scattered site redevelopment on the north side of Milwaukee. At the time of application, the project included 50 single-family and duplex 3B units targeted at both 50% and 60% Area median Income. The 50% AMI units were required in order to be elegible for Affordable Housing Program (AHP) funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which Gorman had applied for to help fill the financing gap.
The project did not score competitively enough to receive an AHP award. Without the AHP grant available to support the 50% AMI units, all units had to be adjusted to 60% AMI. In addition, the unit mix was updated to match the final properties available from the City of Milwaukee.
Mr. Matkom appeared before committee to request one last revision from the original application, which stated compliance with Section 504 for three (3) units. The final list of properties mad ethis number of 504 units unobtainable. Gorman and Company can commit to design and construct one (1) Section 504 unit and ask that the final agreement reflect this change. Their ability to achieve 504 compliance was hampered by their limited budget.
The $100,000 HTF grant from the City to the project was an important part of the capital stack that was relied upon to finance the deal. As Gorman and Company prepared for closing, the City attorney reminded them that thier current unit mix was different than the unit mix as stated in the original HTF application. As a result of this situation, Gorman and Company is requesting that the board allows for them to amend the unit mix to have all 60% AMI units and one Section 504 units.
Given the circumstances, the board requested that Mr. Matkom submit a letter to the office of Community Grant Development requesting the application be withdrawn for consideration for this project.
