1.2 BACKGROUND

As the housing and development agency of Nashville and Davidson County, MDHA's mission is to create quality affordable housing opportunities, support neighborhoods, strengthen communities and help build a greater Nashville. The Agency owns and/or manages nearly 6,700 apartments at 39 properties/developments and administers close to 8,000 vouchers, providing stable housing to approximately 30,000 people. MDHA also facilitates several programs that ensure affordable apartments are created and preserved.

Established in 1938, MDHA is predominately funded by the federal government and chartered by the state to serve Davidson County. It is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the mayor and confirmed by Metro Council.

As the largest owner and operator of affordable housing in Nashville, MDHA seeks every opportunity to be a leading voice in developing solutions to Nashville's housing affordability crisis.

• MDHA is committed to transforming its aging family properties into mixed-income communities. The process ensures a one-for-one replacement of the existing federally subsidized units at each site and deconcentrates poverty by adding new affordable, workforce and market-rate housing. The Agency's first transformation at Cayce Place has been demonstrating promising returns through

P a g e | 3 community engagement and new modern apartment buildings.

• MDHA's Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program was first approved by Metro Council in 2016. To date, the program has assisted in creating and preserving more than 11,000 affordable apartments. The PILOT program provides financial incentives for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) developments that encourage new construction and substantial rehabilitation of affordable multi-family housing.

• MDHA has also converted nearly 1,000 of its Tenant-Based Vouchers to project-based vouchers, ensuring units remain affordable for 14 to 20 years. This move has allowed MDHA to assist with creating nearly 900 new apartments and preserving more than 200 affordable apartments.

MDHA administers four Community Planning and Development (CPD) programs on behalf of the city of Nashville: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). These funds are awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Agency also oversees 11 Redevelopment Districts, manages Metro's Tax Increment Financing (TIF) program and serves as a developer for the city. One of its current projects is the rebuild of historic Second Avenue.

MDHA's strategic plan focuses on four primary goals:

• Preserve and expand affordable housing in Nashville;

• Provide sustainable and healthy communities;

• Cultivate, enhance and evaluate strategic partnerships;

• Continuously improve MDHA's operations.

With MDHA at the helm, and multiple partners from the public and private sectors working together, we can expand and preserve affordable housing in Nashville.
