Braga (R2007-1518) to acquire a 0.25 acre parcel in the Watergate Mobile Home Estates community in Boca Raton for $136,000.  Summary:  On September 11, 2007, the County entered into an Agreement to purchase a 0.25 acre lot together with a 30-year old mobile home from Mr. and Mrs. Braga (Seller), located at 10537 West Sandalfoot Boulevard in unincorporated Boca Raton, for development of a Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) neighborhood park.  The County intends to demolish the mobile home, such that it provides no value to the County.  In preparation for the Closing, it was discovered that the title to the mobile home was never transferred from the original owner whom the Seller has been unable to locate.  Mobile home lot sales are unique in that title to the Lot is treated as real property while the mobile home itself is treated as personal property and titled with DMV similar to a car.  Since the Seller is unable to transfer clear title to the mobile home, the Seller has offered to reduce the purchase price from $151,000 to $136,000.  Staff believes that the reduction in the purchase price reasonably accounts for the reduction in market value due to the inability to convey clear title to the mobile home.  Closing is expected to take place within thirty (30) days.  (PREM)  District 5  (JMB)

E) Cornerstone Group Development for “Westgate Station” Matching Request $200,000 (District 2).

 

SUMMARY: These funding recommendations represent the required local government match/contribution necessary for each development to qualify for the Housing Tax Credit Program with the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. The Tax Credit Program involves a competitive process.  Thus, there is no guarantee these projects will be funded. The Commission on Affordable Housing Advisory Committee heard presentations from each developer on January 24, 2008, and recommended the represented funding allocations.  Projects receiving Tax Credits will be brought to the Board for final approval.

 

The Single Family Development Assistance Program provides assistance to eligible developers of home ownership developments serving very low, low and moderate-income households.  The goal of this strategy is to increase the number of affordable owner occupied housing units available to these income eligible residents.  This is achieved through a reduction in the purchase price charged by the builder/developer in response to the amount of SHIP funds provided. The Multi-Family Development Program will provide assistance to developers of affordable rental housing serving low, very low and extremely low income households. The goal of this strategy is to increase the number of affordable rental housing units available to these eligible residents.  Districts 2, 6 & 7 (TKF)
