About this file
This document is a Grant Award Agreement between CalOptima Health, a county organized health system for Orange County, California, and the Orange County Housing Finance Trust (OCHFT), a joint powers authority. The agreement provides a grant of up to $4,000,000 to support the OCHFT's Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Loan Program, which aims to create affordable housing rentals throughout Orange County. The project's objectives include financing the construction of 34 accessory dwelling units across all Service Planning Areas for individuals and families earning at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI), reducing the subsidy cost of constructing affordable rental units to an average of less than $160,000 per unit, and completing the ADUs within 18 months for 60% of participating homeowners by September 2025.
The grant will be paid in a single installment upon execution of the agreement, with the project term running from May 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. The program provides substantial financial incentives to homeowners, including a $100,000 deferred and forgivable capital construction loan that could cover up to 50% of ADU construction costs, a $5,000 forgivable allowance for permitting consultants, and a $4,500 forgivable allowance for professional tenant screening and leasing services. The program targets single-family neighborhoods and aims to create affordable studio and one-bedroom units, with a focus on serving single adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness. CalOptima will require semi-annual progress reports and a final report to monitor the grant's effectiveness and ensure compliance with the project's objectives.

ATTACHMENT A
Grant Project
Grantee agrees to implement agreed upon scope of work as described below:
The inadequate volume of affordable housing rentals throughout the county is a barrier that no amount of skillful housing navigation or tenant support services can completely overcome. The ADU Loan program proposed by the Orange County Housing Finance Trust (OCHFT) provides substantial financial incentives to homeowners throughout Orange County to construct accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on their residential property. In exchange, they agree to a 10-year term of affordability covenant which limits tenancy to residents at or below 50% of area median income (AMI), which is currently $47,450 for a single adult and $54,200 for a household of 2. We are confident that these limits ensure that all CalOptima members will be eligible for the ADU rentals.
The anticipated $100,000 deferred and forgivable capital construction loan for each ADU could cover as much as 50% of the ADU construction costs, with the remainder paid or financed by the homeowner.
Owners may also receive a $5000 forgivable allowance for hiring an independent permitting consultant to speed the process and reduce bureaucratic road bumps that could derail the ADU. Under recent California laws, ADUs are faster and cheaper with fewer regulatory burdens than many other single-family and multifamily affordable housing options. OCHFT estimates that the interval between the initial loan application to the ADU Loan program to being ready for occupancy could be as short as 18 months or less.
To facilitate access to these rentals by CalOptima members, homeowners will be offered a $4500 forgivable allowance to cover the cost of using a professional tenant screening and leasing service. The Trust will provide a list of vetted property management companies that have demonstrated expertise in working with low-income and vouchered tenants. These management companies will facilitate meeting the terms of homeowner loans, professionalize leasing and management including registering for voucher payments, and offer all CalAIM Community Support providers a centralized and reliable source of available units leased through knowledgeable and ethical property managers.
The ADU Loan program offers unique solutions to the affordable housing crisis that ideally meet the needs of CalOptima members, including those experiencing or at risk of homelessness and their Community Support providers. This scattered-site program provides greater choice to members, opening up rental opportunities in cities without zoning or space for denser affordable complexes (i.e., Dana Point or Villa Park). As backyard apartments, most will be studio and one-bedroom layouts, ideal for the 78.9% of people experiencing homelessness in Orange County that are single adults. ADUs will predominantly be located in single-family neighborhoods, which typically lack appropriately sized or affordable rentals and therefore have been unavailable to CalOptima members.
Community Support providers throughout the county will have access to these rentals on an equal basis, allowing them to pursue those that fit their staffing limitations (i.e., service radius) and client preferences.
Often, smaller organizations are prevented by capacity limits of staffing and client volume from accessing larger affordable developments. Scattered site ADUs allow them to right-size to their abilities and demand.
Grant Objectives.
1 Provide financing for the construction of 34 accessory dwelling units, adding affordable housing rentals in all Service Planning Areas for individuals and families earning at or below 50% AMI by September 2025.
2 Lower the subsidy cost of constructing the 34 new affordable rental units to an average of less than $160,000 per unit from the current rate of around $450,000, by September 2025.
3 Reduce the amount of time to produce a new affordable rental unit to 18 months, or fewer, for 60% of participating homeowners, starting with their application to the ADU loan program and completing all ADUs by September 2025
