Additional Backup Information:
If approved, the resolution will allow Austin Affordable PFC, Inc. (Issuer), a public facility corporation created under Chapter 303 of the Texas Local Government Code and affiliated with the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA), to issue multifamily housing revenue bonds to help finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of a 240-unit multifamily rental development to be located in the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The applicant for bond financing is 8000 Decker Lane (TX) Owner, LP. The developer will also be applying for, or already has applied for, an award of non-competitive 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
The Issuer has induced the issuance of up to $45,000,000 in multifamily housing revenue bonds that will partially fund the acquisition and rehabilitation of this rental development. On April 5, 2024, the Issuer conducted the public hearing required under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA).
TEFRA requires that the local governmental entity in which the development is located give its approval for the bonds to be issued. Approving the issuance of these bonds does not constitute any obligation of the City with respect to repayment of the bonds. Since the Issuer has demonstrated compliance with TEFRA, staff recommends approving the resolution.
