About this file

This document is a comprehensive application form for affordable housing development funding from a municipal housing authority in Kentucky, consisting of multiple attachments covering environmental assessment, applicant information, development specifications, and financing details. The application requires detailed information about the development team including developers, contractors, architects, management agents, and legal/financial professionals, along with comprehensive project specifications covering unit mix, construction features, amenities, energy conservation measures, resident services, and compliance with accessibility requirements. Applicants must demonstrate site control, provide detailed construction timelines, commit to specific demographic populations (elderly, disabled, homeless, or general population), and outline resident programs such as job training, financial counseling, and support services.

The financing section requires disclosure of funding sources including HOME and local funds, with detailed cost breakdowns per square foot and per unit, developer fees, and other financial commitments. Projects must comply with federal requirements including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards, environmental assessments, and the Uniform Relocation Act for tenant displacement. Set-aside commitments require a minimum percentage of units for low-income residents at various Area Median Income (AMI) levels, with options for 20% of units at 50% AMI or 40% of units at 60% AMI, and applicants can commit to serving lower AMI levels for additional consideration. The document includes a CDBG Target Area map for Owensboro, Kentucky, indicating geographic preferences for project location within designated community development areas.
