This is a Standard Agreement (STD 213) executed between the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Co-Sponsors County of San Bernardino and LaBarge Industries, Inc. for the Homekey Program's Pacific Village project. The project involves the conversion of 20 travel trailers, one single-family home, and two apartment units into 28 doors of interim housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness who have been impacted by COVID-19. The project is located at 2626 Pacific Street, Highland, California, and will serve the target population through a partnership between the County and Co-Applicant, with the County providing ownership and operation while LaBarge Industries provides property management services. All 28 units are restricted to households at 30 percent Area Median Income (AMI). Key performance milestones include completion of environmental clearances by November 6, 2020; site control by November 25, 2020; satisfaction of all disbursement conditions by November 21, 2020; and full program fund disbursement by November 21, 2020, with occupancy required by February 23, 2021. The agreement term is five years from the effective date.

The maximum grant award is $3,000,000.00, funded primarily through Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) money from federal CARES Act appropriations, with the County providing a $3,065,000 match for acquisition and rehabilitation and an additional $400,000 for operating subsidy. All CRF-funded expenses must be incurred between March 1, 2020 and December 30, 2020, while capitalized 24-month operating subsidies funded by State General Fund must be expended by June 30, 2022. The County is identified as the Designated Payee and must record a 10-year use restriction and regulatory agreement against the property by December 30, 2020. Prior to fund disbursement, the sponsors must provide evidence of insurance, title insurance, environmental assessments, prevailing wage compliance, and five years of operating funds. The agreement incorporates by reference the Homekey Program Notice of Funding Availability dated July 16, 2020, Multifamily Housing Program guidelines, and all applicable state and federal laws. Interest earned on deposited grant funds must be used for eligible program activities, and any unexpended funds must be returned with accrued interest by the applicable expenditure deadline.
