V.Approval of Minutes from July 21, 2022 Board Meeting
Commissioner Hep moved to approve the minutes of the July 21, 2022
meeting. Commissioner Ann Green seconded, and the motion was passed
unanimously..
VI.Action Items
a.Private Activity Bond Carryforward
Chief Real Estate Officer Kristin Fritz discussed the resolution, noting that this
is a required procedural step in the process, due by September 15 each year.
She noted that the $15.2 million in bond cap will support 86 units. Some of
this will be used for the Impala project and future projects. These funds need
to be used in a three year period. The Board Action Memo is attached to this
meeting packet in Boardable for reference.
Commissioner Lizette Mill moved to approve HC-RES-2022-08-02.
Commissioner Green seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously.
b.Tenant Improvement Loan - Oak 140
Chief Financial Officer Tonya Frammolino is requesting approval of a
resolution to move forward with a loan to build out office space at Oak 140 for
the Development Team. Her recommendation is to seek this loan with ANB
Bank. She noted that this was reviewed in detail by the Audit & Finance
Committee, which approved bringing this to the full Board for approval.
Created with Boardable.
A Commissioner expressed reservations on the amount of interest and fees,
noting that Housing Catalyst has a healthy amount of unrestricted cash. The
Commissioner questioned if it made more sense to use unrestricted cash
instead of paying interest and fees on a loan. Ms. Frammolino noted that it is
a five-year term on the loan; she stated the unrestricted cash is important for
other items, including future development. There will be further evaluation on
whether there are funds available to simply pay off this loan. There is no
prepayment penalty if the loan is paid off early.
Commissioner Wilkins moved to approve HC-RES-2022-08-01. Commissioner
Mill seconded. One Commissioner opposed. The motion was passed.

A question was raised concerning the use of the Remington Parking lot, Ms.

ACTION ITEM
To: Housing Catalyst Board of Commissioners
From: Traci McGraw, Director of Housing Assistance Programs
Meeting Date: September 15, 2022
Action Item: Request for Board adoption- 2023 Annual Agency Plan Housing Catalyst and Larimer
Housing Authority.
Alignment to Strategic Plan:
Goal 2: Increase supply of Affordable Housing
Strategy 2.6: Maximize Rental Assistance
Background:
Public Housing Authorities must submit an Agency Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development for their public housing and Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) programs each year. This
Agency Plan contains one-year and five-year plan sections. The Agency Plan is a standard HUD form that
outlines operating policies and capital expenditures. Larimer County Housing Authority requires only
one form for submission based on the low number of vouchers.
Description:
Addendum A: details the New Actions for 2023. Housing Catalyst will continue Section 18 Disposition
approved in 2021 for the balance of the Public Housing portfolio, 48 units. This will result in the close
out of Housing Catalyst’ Public Housing Program in 2023. We will continue to apply for Tenant
Protection Replacement Vouchers for these families. Addendum A of the Agency plan details the Impala
site which will be redeveloped to included 56 new affordable units. Housing Catalyst intends to Project
Base vouchers at two sites in 2023. These include 15 Tenant Protection vouchers at the West Plum site
(currently Public Housing); 25 vouchers for the Impala redevelopment
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2022-09-01 approving the 2023 Agency Plan and
authorizing the Chairperson to execute appropriate HUD submittal documents.

Addendum A
B.2 New Activities:
Demolition and/or Disposition:
Information submitted is a continuation of our Agency plan for 2022, which noted our
intention to submit a disposition request for 48 Public Housing units in Fort Collins.
22 Public Housing units were approved for Section 18 Disposition in 2021 and in 2022 are
being sold to Elevation Community Land Trust and transitioned to affordable
homeownership. A second Section 18 Disposition application for the remaining 48 units
was submitted in early 2022 with anticipated approval in July 2022.
Those 48 include the following:
• (08) units at Gallup Rd. (will be sold to Elevation Community Land Trust and
become affordable homeownership)
• (14) units at Jamith Place (will be sold to Elevation Community Land Trust
and become affordable homeownership)
• (15) units at West Plum St. (PHA ownership is intended for these units)
• (11) units at Impala Circle (these units will go through Section 18 disposition
and thereafter, be demolished and redeveloped)
Once disposition and resident relocation for all 70 units is complete, Housing Catalyst
intends to closeout its Section 9 Public Housing Program.
Demolition
11 PH units at Impala Drive will go through Section 18 Disposition. Upon completion of the
disposition process, the 11 units will be demolished, and the site redeveloped to include 56
new non-public housing affordable units.
One non-public housing building at 2240 W. Mulberry St. in Fort Collins is planned for
demolition and redevelopment. The new building is designed to include 6 new affordable
housing units.
Conversion of Public Housing to Tenant-Based Assistance
As part of its Section 18 disposition and conversion of public housing to tenant-based
assistance, Housing Catalyst applied for 41 Tenant Protection (replacement) Vouchers in
2022 and will apply for 29 Tenant Protection (replacement) Vouchers in 2023.
Project-Based Vouchers:
Housing Catalyst plans to use project-based assistance to encourage the development,
acquisition, or preservation of affordable housing, or to serve special populations in need
of decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
Housing Catalyst reserves the authorization to allocate up to 20% of its Housing Choice
Vouchers for potential Project-Based Assistance.
Housing Catalyst has intent to Project Base for 2023:
(15) West Plum St.; Public Housing Disposition with TPV replacement vouchers
(25) Impala Circle/Drive; Public Housing Disposition with TPV replacement
vouchers. This site currently contains 11 PH units. After Section 18 Disposition, the
11 units will be demolished with non-PH funds and redeveloped to include 62
newly constructed units and 24 renovated (final plans still pending). It is anticipated
that up to 25 units will have Project-Based Vouchers.
ADDENDUM B
Housing Catalyst Public Housing Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy
(ACOP):
DECONCENTRATION POLICY
It is Housing Catalyst's policy for deconcentration of poverty and to
encourage income mixing by bringing higher income families into lower
income developments and lower income families into higher income
developments. Toward this end, we will skip families on the waiting list to
reach other families with a lower or higher income. We will accomplish this
in a uniform and non-discriminating manner.
Housing Catalyst will affirmatively market our housing to all eligible income
groups. Lower income residents will not be steered toward lower income
developments and higher income people will not be steered toward higher
income developments.
Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, we will analyze the income levels of
families residing in each of our developments, the income levels of census
tracts in which our developments are located, and the income levels of the
families on the waiting list. Based on this analysis, we will determine the level
of marketing strategies and deconcentration incentives to implement.
