Issue /Item Description:
Consider approval of Resolution 2012 -15 in support of an application for Housing Tax Credits
and authorization of an application for HOME program funds on behalf of the City of Huntsville
from National Church Residences, for the Parkview Place apartment project located at 1100
Avenue N, Lot 2 of the Memorial Hospital Subdivision.
Background:
National Church Residences, is requesting a resolution in support of an application for Housing
Tax Credits from the Texas Department of Housing and Community affairs to purchase and
rehabilitate an existing 41 unit low- income apartment complex for seniors. In addition, the
resolution authorizes NCR to apply for HOME funds on behalf of the City of Huntsville. The
developer is not requesting any financial support from the City.
The attached documentation describes the proposed project in greater detail and also provides
additional background on NCR. A corporate profile of NCR is available for viewing in the Planning
offices at the Service Center.
The development will consist purchase and rehabilitation of the existing Parkview Place
apartments of 41 units. The units will target those with incomes below the area median
household income with below market rents. The total investment in rehabilitation of the
apartment is approximately $1.7 million, with a total project cost of about $3 million, and is
expected to be completed in the summer of 2014.
In addition, since the Housing Tax Credit program does not allow properties to be tax exempt,
the property will be placed on the tax rolls. It is currently a tax - exempt property since it is
owned by Huntsville Memorial Housing.
The HOME program funds for which the developer is applying are different than the HOME funds
that the city applies for and has received in the past. The application for HOME funds
by National Church Residences will not be in conflict with a applications that staff is aware of for
similar funding.
The proposed project is in accordance with Goal 2.3 of the Comprehensive Plan: A balance of
new growth and careful redevelopment within Huntsville. Two action statements under this
goal, broaden the range of housing types and price diversity to meet the affordability needs of
the population and take steps to ... stabilize and reinvigorate older neighborhoods that have
experienced decline are met by this project.
Facts to Consider:
• The resolution acknowledges and supports the application for Housing Tax Credits and
authorizes an application for HOME funds by National Church Residences
• The proposed project will consist of rehabilitation of the existing Parkview Place complex
and total project cost, including acquisition, studies, and rehab is approximately $3 million
• The Comprehensive Plan states that the City should support this type of development in
appropriate locations
Fiscal Impact /Funding Source(s):
No cost to the City; future source of revenue through increased property taxes.
Attachment(s):
• Resolution
• Information provided by National Church Residences
• Map of property
Recommendation motion(s):
Approve Resolution 2012 -15 in support of the rehabilitation of Parkview Place Apartments.

Parkview Place
National Church Residences ( "NCR ") is applying to the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs ( "TDHCA ") for funding under the Housing Tax Credit Program to
rehabilitate Parkview Place, an existing low -rise apartment community for lower income seniors
consisting of 41 units.
About Parkview Place
Parkview Place is located at 1110 Avenue N St. in the City of Huntsville, Walker County. The
Development was initially built in 1989 as a single structure with community space for the
residents in addition to on -site laundry facilities. The community is unique in that all residents
benefit from project based rental assistance, which ensures the residents pay no greater than 30%
of their income towards rent and utilities.
Huntsville Memorial Housing owns the property but intends to sell it to National Church
Residences, who currently manages the property. NCR will further develop the property by
renovating the units and bringing the facility up to current standards. The proposed development,
once rehabilitated, will still consist of 41 units and will continue to have project -based rental
subsidy for each residential unit. The plan includes does not include any additional structures or
major floor plan changes.
National Church Residences
NCR is a highly- reputed national non - profit organization dedicated to providing quality,
affordable housing and care for seniors. With more than 330 residential developments
throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, NCR has established themselves as a leading
authority in the affordable housing community. NCR believes this development will assist the
Huntsville community in continuing to meet a demonstrated need for affordable senior housing
for years to come.
If tax credits are awarded, the renovation is expected to be completed in the summer of 2014.
