Finance Director Catrina Asher requests to assign the City’s Private Activity Bonds to the Colorado Finance and Housing Authority (CHFA) to be used by the Brighton Housing Authority for the Hughes Station Project. Director Asher gave a brief overview of Private Activity Bonds and how they are used. The City of Brighton allocation is $2,227,841. The City could issue the bonds and partner with an organization like the Housing Authority and identify projects and manage the process. There is also the option to assign the funds to CHFA and they handle the financial management of the bonds and work directly with the Housing Authority. If nothing is done, the bonding capacity reverts to the state and they can use the funds at their discretion. Staff is recommending the assignment of the bonding capacity to CHFA specifically for the Housing Authority to use on the Hughes Station Project.
Executive Director of the Housing Authority Deb Bristol gave a history of Hughes Station, how it was acquired by the Housing Authority and explained that the bonds will be used for the rehabilitation of Hughes Station.
Development Consultant Rodger Hara explained that the bonds will be used to provide funding for the rehabilitation and upgrades to the Hughes Station property. The nature of the funding requires that 50% of the cost of the rehabilitation be covered by the use of tax exempt bonds. The 2021 funds have been transferred to CHFA for the project. The City of Loveland has agreed to transfer two million dollars of the bond authority that it was allocated to CHFA for use for Hughes Station. The total project cost is approximately 26.5 million and in order to meet the 50% requirement, approximately 12 million dollars will be needed. The 2021 and 2022 allocation form the City of Brighton and the allocation from the City of Loveland will be about half of what is needed for the project. CHFA will be providing the remainder of the necessary funding for the project. The support from the City of Brighton will provide the funding for preservation of the project to continue to provide housing and services for the 120 families living there.
