Production Goals

Projects that pass threshold will be ranked according to total score, and then be selected in
the following order, subject to available funds and 9% LIHTCs that are available from two
TCAC rounds:

i.     Highest scoring supportive housing projects, up to 250 units;
ii.    Highest scoring large family projects, up to 400 units;
iii.   Highest scoring seniors projects, up to 50 units;
iv.    Highest scoring at-risk/ preservation projects, up to 100 units;
v.     Once goals are met, and if HCIDLA funds are still available, HCIDLA will continue to select
       the highest scoring project in each category above, including 4%/ bond projects, until
       available funds have been exhausted. If not enough demand for the above goals, HCIDLA
       will consider other types of applications based on score.                              8

Revised Scoring Rubric, continued

FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY – maximum 25 points

Leverage - Committed Funds: maximum 15 points
Points shall be awarded based on ratio of the Total Committed Soft and/or Private Funds (Total Committed Funds) to
the project’s Total Development Costs. Public funds shall not include City-owned land or other HCIDLA funding. Private
funds shall not include amortized permanent loans from conventional lenders. Tranche B loans without committed
Section 8 vouchers or operating subsidies shall not be considered for awarding points.

To calculate the points, HCIDLA shall divide the Total Committed Funds by the Total Development Costs and award half
(1/2) point for every One percent (1%) of Total Committed Funds versus the Total Development Costs.
Example: Total Committed Funds (TCF) = $5,000,000
          Total Development Costs (TDC) = $31,250,000
          TCF ÷ TDC = 5,000,000/31,250,000 = 16%
