Lexington Gardens II 1865 Palmer Avenue, Suite203 Larchmont, NY 10538
June 1, 2016
TO: Manhattan Community Board 11
FROM: C&C Apartment Management
Subject: Lexington Gardens II, Community Board 11 Preference Plan
Overview
The Lexington Gardens II development is a mixed use, mixed income project anticipated to have 390 apartments for low, moderate, and middle income households. Residents of Community Board 11 will be given preference within the lottery to inhabit fifty percent (50%) of the apartments in the project (under the City’s current regulations).
C&C has successfully leased up more than 10 affordable buildings through the City’s lottery process, including recent developments such as Harlem River Point North, Harlem West 117th Street, Utica Place (Brooklyn), and 21 Commercial Street (Brooklyn). We understand the challenges in meeting the community board preference, and due to our marketing efforts we have been able to successfully meet all community board preferences and have delivered fully leased developments on time. With the approval of the regulating agencies, we plan to implement the marketing efforts highlighted in this memorandum at Lexington Gardens II. Please note that all marketing activities and corresponding timelines are included in Appendix E of this document.
Marketing Team
In partnership with Community Board 11, we will create a marketing team (task force) that will include Manhattan North Management and a local organization and be responsible for spearheading the implementation of the community preference plan. The team will develop extensive marketing activities that will publicize the project effectively throughout the community. The team will meet routinely to discuss our progress, develop marketing materials, and assign action items in order to assure that we reach as many members of the community as possible.
Project Timeline
The project is expected to close in June 2017. The project will then take approximately 30 months to construct, ending in December 2019. It is important for us to commence marketing procedures for the project far in advance of the anticipated move-in date. However, we don’t want to start marketing too far ahead of schedule since this can lead to drawn-out and ineffective marketing efforts. We would like to have a marketing plan approved by the City agencies 9 months in advance of the anticipated move-in date (well in advance of the City’s required timeline of 6 months). This will provide sufficient time to reach as many community members as possible in an efficient manner. Given these timelines, we expect the official marketing period to run from March to December 2019.
However, the team has already begun preparing marketing plans and will be working continuously to fully prepare the marketing activities listed below. Additionally, the team plans to provide information sessions on personal finance and credit counseling as the marketing period approaches. These sessions would provide individuals with additional information on how to prepare for the upcoming housing lottery process and would give the community members additional time to resolve their financial issues.
Marketing Activities
1. Information Sessions
Together with the community board and our development partners, the marketing team will hold information sessions to help community members with the application process. We anticipate that two types of sessions would be held; one covering credit/financial counseling and another providing guidance surrounding the application process.
Personal Finance
The team will host an information session immediately after marketing begins to give residents additional time to collect their financial information and resolve any outstanding issues. In this session, the team will provide those in attendance with information regarding the project and share tips on how potential applicants can strengthen their applications, such as how one can improve their credit score and how to handle various income sources such as weekly pay (52 weeks), bi-weekly pay (26 weeks), public assistance, child support, etc..
To assist in this effort, the team will partner with non-profit organizations that are experienced in credit counseling and in working with residents that live in affordable housing. In past projects, we have worked with Habitat for Humanity to host a workshop that will help prospective applicants improve their credit and manage their debt. Sample training materials utilized by Habitat for Humanity are included in Appendix C. We will also incorporate suggestions from the community board regarding the potential of additional local non- profit organizations that can assist in this effort.
Application Guidance
We will host a session several months before applications are due, which will focus on the application and the overall application process itself. This session will serve as a forum for community members to ask questions about the application and the application process. We are hoping that the community board can assist us in locating strategic sites to facilitate these sessions.
2. Getting the word out early
The project will be required to have a marketing plan approved with the appropriate City agencies. We will be requesting this process begins approximately 9 months before the anticipated move-in date. A sample HDC Marketing Plan is included as Appendix D to provide an outline of the marketing plan approval process for the New York City Housing Development Corporation. Please note that this is only a sample process and will not necessarily be the required process for this project.
As mentioned, the marketing team would like to work closely with the City agencies to get an advertisement approved 9 months in advance of the anticipated move-in date in order to give early notice to residents of the community board.
a. Local Publications
The project will be marketed in numerous local publications such as AM New York, El Diario, Amsterdam News and La Voz Hispana, as well as other community newsletters and newspapers. We will meet with board members to identify which publications will be most effective in reaching the community.
b. Local Organizations
We will partner with the community board and local organizations, including churches, schools, and other local non-profit organizations, to publicize the project. Notices will be placed at local retailers (such as Costco, Duane Reade, etc.) and we will work with the community board to identify other locations where paper fliers will be displayed and left for distribution. In addition to distributing paper fliers, we will publicize the project through email notification to all organizations recommended by the community board. We will also meet with other local religious officials to provide details on the project and the application process so they may share it with their members. We will work with the community board to provide notices at their meetings and to their contacts.
A list of organizations recommended by the community board has been included in Appendix F. We will work with the community board to determine the best approach to publicize our project through these organizations.
c. Advertisement on Project Site
The project will be promoted on poster boards and signs placed on the project site. This will inform local residents about the project as well as provide guidance for the application process. The poster boards will also direct prospective applicants to our project’s website where they can obtain additional information about the project.
d. Other Marketing Efforts
Internet
A critical component of our marketing is applicants understanding the NYC Housing Connect website and creating a profile. The NYC Housing Connect website allows applicants to create a profile which includes their household composition, all income sources, set-asides & preferences and landlord information. Applicants are only allowed to apply once for each development of interest. Once the lottery is conducted the applicants will be able view their log/ application number and the status of the development.
Additionally after the marketing plan is approved an informational website will be available for applicants to learn more about the project and send emails with their questions. The advertisement will be available with the instructions on how to obtain a paper application.
Community Events
The marketing team will identify community events, such as Harlem Week, where local residents can get information on the project and sign up on the distribution list.
A comprehensive list of the above-mentioned marketing activities is included in tabular form in Appendix E.
We hope that these marketing efforts will reach ample members of community board 11 and we will be able to promptly inhabit the apartments reserved for the community. We look forward to partnering with you and incorporating your suggestions in order to reach community members most effectively.

Appendix C: Sample credit counseling workshop materials from Habitat for Humanity that have been used in past projects Understanding and Improving Your Credit Score What is a Credit Score?
Your credit score is a number used to gauge how creditworthy you arre. It is seen as a predictor of how likely you are to repay a loan and make payments on time. Every financial transaction that you make can impact your credit score. If you miss a credit card payment, don’t pay your rent, phone bill or utilities, bounce a check, carry too much debt, buy a car or a house or take out a student loan - your credit score is affected.
Maintaining a good credit score is one of the most important things you can do for your financial health. TThe higher your score, the moro e money you can borrow and the less you’ll pay for tthe loan. Your credit score is commonly checked when you rent an apartment, puru chase a home, turn on your utilities or even apply for a job. Your credit history can affect how much you pay for car insurance, what cell phone plan you’re eligibble for and more.
There are three credit reporting agencies, and each agency has a different formula it uses to calculate your credit score, which is also known as your FICO score. Mana y lenders make loan deciisions based on your credit score. Think of it as your entire credit history turned into one number.
A Typical FICO Score Breakdown:
If your FICO score is: Your credit score is considered: And you will pay: 720 – 850 Excellent The lowest interest rates on loans. 690 – 719 Good to Excellent Low or high rates: shop around. 660 – 689 Good High rates: shop around. 625 – 659 Fair Very high rates: shop around. 590 – 624 Poor The highest interest rates on loans. 300 – 589 Very Poor You might not qualify for a loan.
Is There a Fee to Obtain My Credit Score? Credit scores are not free. They cost around $16 per score. Visit www.MyFICO.com to order.
How Do I Get My Credit Report? Your credit report will provide a detailed history of your credit. There are three nationwide consumer reporting companies that collect all of your credit information. Each is required to give you a free copy of your credit report every 12 months, if you request it. They all use one website and ono e phone number for consumers to ordeer their free annual report. To get it, go to www.annualcreditreport.com or call 877-322-8228. WARNING: Do not be fooled by companies that offer free credit reports in TV and radio advertisements. They will charge you a monthly fee for a credit monitoring service you probably don’t need!
What Affects My Credit Score? l Your payment history makes up 35% of your score. The single most important thing you can do is pay your bills on time. l Your balance accounts for 30% of your score. Paying down your baalances is the second best way to improve your score. l In addition, 15% of your score is determined by how long you’ve been using credit (longer is better), 10% by how often you request credit (less often is better) and the final 10% by the type of credit you use (a combination of loans and credit cards helps).
If You Have a Credit Crisis, Reputable Organizations Can Help! l Financial Empowerment Centers: Overseen by the city, FECs provide free confidential credit counseling and may help lower your monthly debt payments. With locations across the city, they are a great first stop if you want advice and assistance. Call 311 to schedule an appointment. l Creedit Where Credit is Due: Free financial counseling and education. Call them at 212-927-5771. l Watch for scams! There are predatory companies that may try to take advantage of your situation by charging you for services you could do for free or simply taking your hard-earned money and doing nothing at all. FECs and Credit Where Credit is Due can help refer you to trustworthy services. How Can I Improve My Credit Score?
There is no quick fix to improving your credit score, and if someone is advertising exactly that – beware! Only accept help from reputable organizations – start with those that Habitat-NYC recommends. Remember, YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR SCORE over time. There are many positive actions you can take:
1Pay all of your bills on time every month – it is the fastest way to add points to your credit score. Pay more than the minimum per month. Otherwise it can take you years to pay off your balance and you could pay 2 two or three times your balance in interest!
Pay down your balances. The wider the gap between your balance and total credit limit, the better your score. Aim 3 to use no more than 30% of your available credit. If you can’t pay down all your balances, try to pay down the balance that is closest to its credit limit.
Read your monthly statement and review the terms of your card. Verify the interest rate and credit limit every 4 month, and look for mistakes on your statement. If there is an error, report it to the credit card company.
Review all three credit reports at least once per year. Dispute incorrect information to your creditor and the credit 5 reporter in writing. Remember, www.annualcreditreport.com is the only website for a truly free credit report.
Build an emergency fund. If an unexpected expense comes up, such as a car repair or a medical expense, you can 6 pay for it with cash instead of charging it and increasing your credit balance.
Take extreme caution when transferring credit balances to low-interest rate credit cards. Your best bet is to stick 7 with paying down your balances rather than moving them around.
Stay on top of “hard inquiries.” When you apply for new credit, a lender will review your credit history. These are 8 called “hard inquiries,” and they can lower your score. The impact of an inquiry should be minimal if you shop for one loan at a time and don’t spend more than 30 days shopping for the best rate. It may be possible for you to provide your own recent copy of your credit report to the lender instead.
9Wait six months after you have applied for credit before you apply again. Be careful about closing your credit card accounts even after you pay them off. When you close an account, you 10 lower your total available credit. You want to widen the gap between your total credit balances and your total available credit to improve your score. Also, the longer you have an open account the better.
Shop around for interest rates if you are planning a large purchase or getting a student loan, but try to do all your 11 shopping within 30 days to minimize the impact on your credit score.
You need to use your credit to improve it. Even if you don’t need credit, make small purchases with your credit cards, 12 then pay them off in full every month.
If you have public records, charge-offs, or delinquencies or are being contacted by a collection agency, see a credit 13 counselor for advice.
Talk to creditors that have reported negative information about you to the credit bureaus. They may be willing to 14 remove it from your credit report – it’s worth a call!
If you have a limited credit history, consider credit reporting organizations that track payments such as utilities and 15 rent to demonstrate your creditworthiness. One example is PRBC (http://ez.prbc.com/main/faq.php)
And above all: Don’t ignore your credit problems. Your credit belongs to you, and it’s your responsibility to maintain it. Don’t be embarrassed by credit troubles – you are not alone and a little effort can put you back on track! Take advantage of the free resources we’ve listed – there are people and services willing to help! WWAARRNINING: CREDIT CARD DE CA E TO YO $ HEALTH

New Credit Card Reforms Solve Some Problems, but You Still Need to Protect Yourself
The federal CARD Act, reformini g some aspects of the credit card industry, went into effect in February, 2010. New restrictions limitiing fees and regulating how interest can be charged, along with new notification requirements, benefit consumers. However, there are still a number of things to look for in order to avoid a credit card debt crisis.
l New and Higher Fees: Companies can still charge a number of fees and are institutiing new ones. Check your statement for: New or higher finance charges, inactivity fees and international activity fees. Annual fees, which had beecome relatively rare but are making a comeback, with some banks adding annual fees to existing accounts. Increases in other existing fees, including those for balance transfeers and cash advances. l There is No Ceiling on Interest Rates, Penalty Charges or Service Fees. Read your statement every month to verify your rate and watch out for unexpected fees. l Variable Rate Cards: If you have a variable-rate card, your interest rate is linked to an index number that changes periodically. Some new restrictions do not apply to variable-rate cards – and the majority of today’s cards have variable interest rates. Some fixed-rate cards have now switched to variable rate – check your statement to see if this is the case. If you have a variable-rate card, keep track of your interest rate. l Credit Limits Can be Reduced and Accounts Closed Without Notice. l Penalty Interest Rates for Existing Balances: If you are 60 days late, card issuers can still raise interest rates on your existing balances, as well as on your future purchases. l Monthly Minimums Can be Doubled: Over the life of a card, issuers can still double the minimmum percentage of your balance that you must pay evere y month. If you can’t keep up with the higher payments, the existing balance can be subject to a higher interest rate. l Existing Rewards Programs are Being Reduced. You may not be getting the perks you used to for your purchases, or you may be charged a fee to keep your rewards. Make sure it’s worth it. l Costlier International Transactions: These purchases may be subject to significant fees now. This affects travelers and transactions processed in another country, including online purchases. l Small Business Cards are Not Affected by the New Legislation.

What Changes has the CARD Act Made?
The CARD Act has instituted some important reforms for the credit card industry, including: l Clearer credit card statements that highlight how long it will take to pay off your balance. l A 45-day notice requirement for significant changes to the terms of your card. l New rules on interest rate hikes, which can only apply to new balances and can’t be changed in the first year, as long as you’re not more than 60 days late on your payments. l An end to over-the-limit fees, unless you specifically ask for over-the-limit privileges. l Restrictions on issuing credit cards to people under 21. l An end to “universal default,” which allowed issuers to raise interest rates on existing balances because of problems you had with other lenders.
What Does Your Credit Card Really Cost?
Example: $8,000 credit card debt After one year, this equals:
26% APR $2,042 paid in interest 2.5% Monthly Minimum Payment $315 paid in principal
$7,686 of remaining debt Do the math on your credit card – use an online credit card calculator on sites such as www.bankrate.com
Alternatives to Traditional Cards – What to Know:
n Pre-paid cards Beware of pre-paid credit cards, which generally charge fees that significantly reduce your buying power. New legislation going into effect in August 2010 limits the inactivity fees that can be assessed on these cards, sets new disclosure requirements and regulates expiration dates, but you can still end up paying a good deal in monthly fees, “convenience” fees, ATM with- drawal fees and other charges. Consider using a checking account with a bank or credit union.
n Secured Credit Cards Secured credit cards require a down payment equal to your credit line before you can use the card, usually $300 to $500. This may help build credit if you cannot obtain a traditional credit card. However, read the terms carefully and be sure you can make your payments before taking out a secured card. Make sure there is no application fee and a low annual fee. Speak to a credit counselor before making this decision.
n Debit Cards Beginning July 1, 2010, all consumers will be given the choice to opt-in to overdraft protection for debit cards. Overdraft fees cost consumers an average of $34 per overdrawn transaction, and many consumers may find it best not to accept overdraft protection. When you overdraft, a small purchase can cost you a hefty fee.
Looking for a Better Card?
n Seek an interest rate of 15% APR or lower. Don’t be fooled by promos advertising 0% interest – make sure you know what you’ll be paying once the introductory period has passed. Websites like www.bankrate.com can help you compare cards. n Find a card with no annual fees or very low fees and low late fees. n Consider alternative credit card issuers, such as credit unions, that may have better options. Websites like www.findacreditunion.com can help you find a nearby credit union. n Read the fine print! The details can be confusing – if you can’t figure something out, find someone who can help. Don’t sign anything you don’t understand.

*Credit fees should only be collected when (a) an applicant appears to be otherwise eligible and (b) it is clear that a unit will be available if the applicant is approved.
. The Developer’s system and procedures for receipt and logging or numbering applications.
LOTTERY
The Agency requires a Compliance Meeting to be held approximately two weeks before the lottery date.
The lottery will be held on a date or dates mutually agreed by the Developer and Agency, generally seven (7) to ten (10) business days following the close of the application period, if not sooner.
An Agency representative must be present at the time of the lock box/post office box opening and at the time applications are opened and logged.
Based on anticipated response volume, the Agency will recommend a minimum number of staff or volunteers to be provided by the Developer foor the full day of the lottery. The Agency recommends that there be 10-15 staff members per day during a lottery, which may be adjusted by the Agency based on lottery response. Developer staff should be made familiar with the
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES application log process, and freed from any other duties or distractions on the day of the lottery. Additional people made available will maximize the number of applications opened and logged. Agency monittors will be present strictly to observe the opening of applications and completion of the llog sheets; they will be unable to assist in the actual opening and logging as not to divert their attention from their oversight responsibilities.
If more than one day is required for the lottery, remaining applications must be secured in a locker or footlocker (to be proviided by the Developer), which can accommodate a standard combination lock. The Agency will provide the lock with a combination known only to Agency staff. This locker or footlocker will be storo ed by the Developer in a location approved by the Agency monitor and subsequent days of opening and logging must also occur under Agency supervision. At the compleetion of rent-up/sales, after enough applications have been opened to achieve occupancy and establish a waiting list equal to at least the number of units in the building, any surplus applications will be shredded by the Developper.
D. APPLICATION COLLECTION AND PICK-UP
The post office box used will be one governed by the United States Postal Service and must be located withhin New York City limits (i.e. New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens or Richmond Counties). The P.O. Box location must be pre-approved by the Agency, as certain branches with a history of problems may be excluded.
• HDC will purchase and reserve the P.O. Box, with all charges and fees to be reimbursed by the Developer.
HPD will accompany the Developeer to the designated post office on the day of the opening to purchase and open the P.O. Box.
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES
Applications will be picked up from the P.O. Box on the day of the lottery, generally seven (7) to ten (10) business days following the close of the application period. The applications must be picked up by the Developer in the presence of Agency staff.
If the post office requires that letters be picked up on a regular basis due to large volume of mail, the USPS will notify the Agency prior to picking up the mail and the Agency and Developer will place all letters, unopened, in a secure locker or footlocker. The Developer will then return to the post office on the day of the scheduled lottery to pick up, in the presence of Agency staff, any remaining mail.
On the day of the lottery, Agency staff will meet the Developeer at the applicable post office for the opening of the P.O. Box and the gathering of applications. Applications will be transported in the prp esence of at least one Agency monitor (such transportation to be provided by the Developer) to the identified location provided by the Developer for the opening of the applications.
Any applications postmarked afteer the application deadline (―late applicationsǁ) will be set asidde for possible consideration pursuant to this Outline of Procedures, and only after all applications postmarked by the deadline have been processed.
Any applications received by means other than regular mail (e.g. overnight, certified or registtered mail) will be set aside for possible future consideration. E. LOG GENERATION
On the initial lottery days scheduled, all applications, or a minimum number of applications equal to at least fifty (50) times the number of affordable units that are being marketed, will be opened and entered in a log in the order in which they were randomly opened. All names will then be selected in number order from this log. All subsequent loggings from this applicant pool, unless waivved by the Agency, must take place in the presence of Agency staff. No preferences will be waived unless all applications received on time have been opened.
The application information will be logged into the NYC Housing Connect data base and is sue an application identification number. Once all pape r applications have
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES been added to the database the system will randomly assign a log number to each applicat ion. Rather than merely logging in the head of household, the names of all household members identified on an application must now be recorded in the database.
If the lottery takes more than one (1) day, remaining applications must be secured in a locker or footlocker (to be provided by Developer), which can accommodate a standard combination lock. The Agency will prp ovide the lock with a combination known only to the Agency. This locker or footlocker will be stored by the DDeveloper in a location approved by Agency monitors and subsequent days of opening and logging must also occur under Agency supervision. At the completion of rent-up/sales, after enough applications have been opened to achieve occupancy and establish a waiting list equal to at least the number of units in the building, the Developer must shred any surplus applications.
Developer or representative must allso provide copies of the log to the Agency for review indicating each applicant’s selection status. Copies of the log must be provided prior to offering units to eligible applicants.
Developer must offer units only to applicants who meet eligibility requirements in numbered order from this loog, as long as units of appropriate size are available. An applicant to whom a unit has been offered must be given a reasonable specific amount of time to respond to the offer, and not less than 5 business days for a lease signing, before a Developer can proceed to offer a unit to the next eligible applicant on the log.
If units of appropriate size are unavailable to eligible applicants from the log as they are being reviewed, the applicant’s name will remain on the log until an appropriate unit bbecomes available oor until the log expires.
Developer must retain the applicant log and all associated applications as a record for no less than three (3) years.
Depending on the level of response gennerated by the lotteries, particularly for low-income developments, it may not be practical to open and process all received applications. However, the Developer must initially open and log a number of applications that is at least fifty (50) times the number of available units. This must be explained in the coveer letter that accompanies the application. If this pool is sufficient to fulfill all preferences, achieve rent- up/sales, and establish an adequate waiting list, the Agency may not require that additional applications be opened at that time. If preferences cannot be met, additional applications will need to
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES be opened. The Agency will not waive any mandatory preferences unless all received applications have been processed. Agency staff must be present to supervise the opening and numbering of all applications involved in the initial lottery of a project.
III. APPLICANT EVALUATION AND RESIDENT SELECTION
The Developer will have primary responsibility for applicant evaluation and resident selection. Developer must select all prospective residents from the log sheet in the order logged in, with exceptions for permitted preferences only. Residents of the City of New York are to be given preference in the selection process oveer non-residents. Other statutory preferences are outlined below.
The Marketing Plan must specify criteria to be used for resident selection and rejection, along with procedures ffor handling rejected applications.
An applicant cannot be rejected for any reason other than a reason that is consistent with the rejection criteria stated in the Marketing Plan. The Agenccy will approve the selection and rejection crc iteria outlined in thee Marketing Plan prior to the start of marketing. The rejection criteria must be applied fairly and equitably to all applicants.
A. DISQUALIFICATION POLICIES
o No application will be disqualified prior to entering the lottery. Every opened application received will be assigned a unique log number. Disqualification lettere s, for reasons outlined below, will be processed and sent in order of log number.
o After the lottery, applicants may be disqualified, regardless of other eligibility factors, for one of several reasons:
Developer must disqualify those applicants for whom multiple copies of an application are received.
A ―multiple or ―duplicate application iss defined as the appearance of any single applicant across two or more applications for any given project, whether or not the same household members are present.
A ―multiple or ―duplicate application is defined as a paper applicationn and an online application submitted for any given project, whether or not the same household members are present.
Developer, employees, agents, employees of agents, and family members of Developer, are prohibited from seeking a unit through the Developer’s lotteries or Open Market, and are further prohibited from being considered through any other means for any unit being marketed by this Developer pursuant to this Outline of Procedures, regardless of their position with the firm.
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES
Employees of the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) are prohibited from seeking a unit in any project in which HDC is involved that is being marketed by the agent. *Note: HPD employees who apply for HPD involved projects should receive a Conflict of Interest waiver from HPD. An applicant who is not a resident of New York City will be waitlisted.
o Applicants may not be disqualified on rental projects solely on the basis that the applicant receives Section 8 assistance.
o Note on Missing Information: Applications with missing required information, such as income or household size, would be processed as such. For instance, applicants without a stated income would be calculated as $0 income, and likkewise, unlisted household members would not be calculated. Unless qualified as an ―extenuating circumstance, changes to blank income and/or household size would result in an application being rejected with the opportunity to appeal with any additional information.
Extenuating circumstances include: - Death of a member of the household; - Birth in the household; - Divorce or other spousal situation; - Court order of custody.
Developer must require the applicant to pprovide evidence of the extenuating circumstance.
B. ORDER OF PROCESSING
o The first applications processed and submitted to the agencies from the log must be those that meet one of the approved housing set asides & preferences. The order of preference category must maximize the number of applicants filling the preference categories. Experience suggests that this order, depending on lottery results and other factors, may help boost the filling of prp eference categories if generally followed:: Set-Aside
Disability (1) Mobility Impaired (5%) (2) Visual & hearing impaired (2%)
Preferences (1) Community Board (50%) (2) Municipal Employee (5%) (3) Other
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES
o If s e t - a sides a re not met an d there are st ill unope ned ap plications rem aining, anoth er day of opening application s to identify a dditional set- aside applicants mu st be scheduled with the Agenc y. Add itional outrea ch may also b e requir ed by t he Age ncy to identif y appli cants f or the se t-aside categories. o If preferences are not met and there are still unopened applications remaining, another day of opening applications to identify addditional preference applicants must be scheduled with the Agency. No preferences will be waived unless all received applications have been opened.
o Only after all set-asides & preferences have been achieved (or waived by the Agency following the exhaustion of the lottery) may non-preference applications be submitted to the Agency for approval. This is to prevent non-preference applicants from being processed for units that are intended for s e t - aside & preference-eligible applicants. The screening of non-preference applicants may begiin prior to achieving all preferences with Agency approval.
o If units are still available after the Developper has exhausted all remaining applications, Developer must notify the Agency and randomly open and log a number of ―late applications set aside with the Developer sufficient to tenantt the remaining vacancies. The Developer, or a representative, will then follow all procedures as outlined in this Section.
o Applications should be processed for suubmission to the Agency in groups of fifty (50) to prevent getting too far ahead in the lottery and potentially bypassing eligible applicants who are placed earlier on the log and appeal successfully within the two (2) week appeal timeframe. Even within those groups of fifty (50), attention must be given to remaining available units based on bedroom sizes and (for mixed- income buildings) income levels to alloww for such appeals.
o At a minimum, a status report musst periodically be issued by the Developer to the Agency to enssure that applicants are being processed in proper order. The report must outline the status of applicants on the log (i.e. if they were rejected the reason must be provided) and must be submitted electronically in an Excel format. Developer therefore must not submit a ―Read Only version. This is to ensure that applicants are being processed in proper order. Such status reports should be issued: (a) upon completion of the
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES preferences before processing the general lottery pool and (b) upon the completion of each group of fifty (50) general lottery applicants thereafter. If a file is submitted for an applicant but there are applicants with lower log numbers whose status have not been confirmed, the agencies will withhold further approvals until the information has been satisfactorily documented. The statuus report, wwhich must include all status comments, must also be accompanied by a letter reporting on the statistics, such as, but not limited to:
. Number of logged applicants; . Number of units for each preference; . Status of each preference; . Number rejected for being over income; . Number rejected for being under income; . Number of applicants that fell within the income ranges; if applicable; . Number rejected for credit reasons; . Number rejected for criminaal history; . Number rejected for housing court activity as further described in Section IV-H-5; . Number rejected for household composition; . Number of no-shows (include the no-show dates); . # terminated as per applicant’s request (applicant withdrew/cancelled application) . # rejected for failure to submit requested additional documentation; . # rejected for submitting duplicate applications ; . # rejected because household is comprised of full-time student(s) and does not meet any of thhe exceptions (in applicable programs); . # rejected because of household size; . # placed on low priority list and specify the reasons, e.g. living out of city; . any othere rejection criteria used by the agent; and Numbeer rejected for submission of fraudulent information, etc.
o Stats Report Requirement is mandatory so that the Agencies may monitor the process of the lottery log. Further, such stat report information may be used to report on the statistics of the individual project and analysis of its lease-up.
o Developer must notify all applicants processed of their selection status by regular mail as soon as a determination has been made. A copy of the letter must be attached to the application and kept on file.
Low-Income Program MARKETING PLAN – OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES
C. APPEALS
Ineligibility and Rejection Letters to Applicants must provide a specific reason why an applicant cannot be approved. Responses to appeals must be even more specific and detailed. For example, stating, ―You are rejected because you are overe -income is not sufficient. The letter would need to state more specifically, as an example, ―You have been deemed ineligible foor this housing program because you do not meet the maximum income required for your family and unit size. The maximum income is $35,000 and your household’s annual income has been determined to be $36,,000.
Developer will provide the Agency with a copy of the completed Log, indicating the final selection status of each applicant and reason for rejection. This includes, but is not limited to:
Income ineligibility; Applicant is an employee or family member of Developer; Applicant is not a resident of New York City; Lack of adequate income to support mortgage payments; Ineligible household size; Poor payment or credit history; Receipt of more than one application peer household; Falsification of information, etc.
D. INTERVIEWS
o All applicant/prospective tenant interviews, as well as lease signings, must be conducted within New York City limits (i.e. New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, or Richmond Counties).
o Developer will notify each applicant to be interviewed by regular mail or email. Format for letter will be provided by the Agency. Letter will indicate:
Interview location, calendar linnk, email address, phone number should applicant need to reschedule; Required minimum amount of time, and not less than ten (10) business days, between letter postmark and interview date;
Low-Income Program
List of required documents to be brought to interview by applicant; That no brb oker or application fees will be charged to the applicant If credit checks will be conducted by Developer, then that fee must be approved by the Agency. - For Units with Income Liimits set at or below 60% of New York City’s Area Median Income (AMI) Limit: Credit check fees are not to exceed $25 for households with 1 or 2 adult members; $50 for households with 3 or more adult members. - No credit check fees may be charged to homeless applicants in designated special needs programs referred by the city. - A credit check fee can only be charged after an inteerview has been conducted and all other threshold selection ccriteria have been met.
o In cases where an applicant fails to appear for an interview, Developeer must send a second letter by regular mail to schedule another interview. The applicant will be given a reasonable specific amount of time, but not less than five (5) business days from the postmarked date of the second letter in which to respond.
E. OPEN MARKETING
If all applications have been processed and the entire applicant log has been reviewed for eligibility and there are still units available, the Developer must contact the Agency for written approval to commence open marketing. The Developer is required to complete a Notice of Remarketing document. Upon receipt of these forms, the Agency will create an advertisement for its website. Under open marketing, the Developeer may utilize other methods to identify applicants beyond the scope of the lottery. Such methods may include additional advertising, signage on the building to attract walk-ins, or the use of brokers.
If using a broker, the Developer must fully absorb any related broker fees. No such fees may be passed on to applicants/residents of units. The exception to this, unless otherwise noted, is with HDCC’s New HOP programs. In the case of New HOP, a fee equal to half (1/2)) of one month’s rent is the maximum amount that may be charged to the residents as a broker fee. Any fee above that amount must be absorbed by the Developer. F. WAITING LIST
After the Project is initially occupied, the Developer must maintain a waiting list indicating persons interested in residing in the development and must fill vacanciies from the waiting list. Whenever possible, the Developer must fill vacancies in units that have been adapted for households with disability preferences to a household that fulfills such preference. The Developer is to inform wait-listed applicants that it is the applicant’s responsibility to notify the
owner/manager every six (6) months that they wish to remain on the waiting list.
Upon conclusion of the rent-up, thhe Developer must document to the Agency how it plans to manage its waiting list going forward.
When the Developer needs to replenish a Project’s waiting list, the Developer may request Agency approval to commence remarketing activity. The Agency does not supervise this process as closely as the initial marketing. However, the attached form must be completed and receive Agency approval before remarketing.
G. AGENCY APPROVAL
No residents may be moved into the building, and no leases or contracts signed, until Agency has approved the applicant in writing. This is true both during initial rent-up or sales and thereafter. Concurrent approvals by other involved agencies may also be required.
Developer may also not collect funds from prospective residents (i.e. security deposits, rents, etc.) until written Agency approval is received.
If files are complete in accordance with the revised procedures which follow, and no additional issues aree raised with any of the information contained therein, Agency approval timetable is three (3) to five (5) business days from receipt of a file. However, if files are incomplete or if issues are raised that require further review either internally or with the NYC Department of Investigation (DOI), the process will take as long as necessary to (a) acquire the missing or additional paperwork from the Developer’s management staff or (b) to complete an additional review with DOI. On a case-by-case basis, if such processes extend past ten (10) business days without a resolution, the agencies may grant permission to place such questionable applicants on hold and proceed with other applications while such special reviews are beinng completed. Although an added step, these procedures will both ensure the integrity of the Agency’s programs and protect the Developer from the potential regulatory defaults for non- compliance, which can result from admitting applicants who are not truly eligible.
The Marketing Plan must also include procedures for determining applicant eligibility and verifying income and family size.
HPD and HDC perform independent review of applicant income eligibility as an additional means of ensuriing compliance with the Regulatory Agreement. The approvals are based on information in the
files submitted to us by the Developer. HPD will review a percentage of applicants, while HDC will review all applicants.
Applicant approval letters are not given under our role as low-income housing tax credit monitoring agencies and so these letters alone are not verification of tax credit compliance. Upon the Developer’s annual tax credit certification review (as reequired by IRS monitoring rules), the Compliance Unit in the respective agencies will review files in their entirety to monitoro compliance.
Developer must submit Tenant Income Certification (TIC) and verifications to the Agency along with the Applicant Information Form (AIF) to enable a review of the Developer’s computation of eligibility. Developer must inform applicants that they will not be allowed to occupy a unit until the Agency has reviewed and approved their Tenant Income Certification. All such Approvals are given to the Developer in writing.
Tenant Lease and Related Documennts
Immediately prior to signing the lease, the statement in Pre-lease Acknowledgement and Certification must be reviewed with, and signed by, all adult household members. This statement warns against violating the primary residence rule, as well as provides a final confirmation as to the honesty of all information the applicants submitted throughout the process.
Owners must use a lease that complies with the Rent Stabilization Law and regulations.
For Projects financed by HDC, owners must execute an HDC lease rider which outlines the unique aspects of the program and how it differs from standard rent stabillization (such as the prohibition on sublets).
If Developere finds an applicant eligible foor a unit designated at 60% of AMI or below, then at the time of lease signing, the tenant must complete an Affirmation of Income.
If Developere finds an applicant to be eligible for a unit, then at the time of lease signing or sale closing, Developer must require that all adult household members execute 2 new IRS Form 4506-T, one listing the Developer and one listing NYC DOI and the Agency in Line 5 of the form.

In the event the set a side un its cann ot be f illed the develo per mu st request in writing to proc ess applicants n on-disab led applicants from the logbook in the same order as other applicants.
c. MANDATORY PREFERENCES
The following must also be considered and detailed in the plan:
o Community Preference
The Developer must, during initial rent-up, give an occupancy preference for fifty percent (50%) of the units to applicants who, at the time of application, are residents of the Community District in which the building is located. Applicants with community resident status must meet all other programmatic requirements of the Agency and the Developer (e.g., income qualification, credit worthiness).
If aftere all applications have been opened and processed the community preference cannot be filled from applicants in the logbook, the Developer must provide a letter to the Agency stating how much of the preference has been achieved. The letter must include, but is not limited to the following information: . Number of logged applicants; . Number of units available for each preference; . Number of applications approved for each prefeerence; . Number rejected for being over income; . Number rejected for being under income; . Number of applicants that fell within the income gap, if applicable;
. Number rejected for credit reasons; . Number rejected for criminal history; . Number rejected for housing court activity . Number rejected for household composition; .

If any of the above rejection criteria does not apply or no applicant had been rejected for that criteria, please indicate N/Aǁ or ―0 applicantsǁ, respectively; and . Number rejected for submission of fraudulent information, etc.
After review, the Agency may waive the remainder of this preference and authorize the Developer to pproceed with the remainder of the log sequentially. If the community preference is fully achieved, any remaining community applicants will be processed from the log in the same order as other applicants.
o Municipal Employee Preference:
The Developer must give an occupancy preference foor five percent (5%) of the units (or one unit, whichever is greater) to municipal employees of the City of New York. See Attachment S for a list of agencies whose employees are eligible for the preferences. (*Note: HDC employees are not eligible for this preference. Employees of certain other agencies, such as HPD, are only eligible if they can provide a statement of no-conflict from their agency’s ethics officer).
d. ADDITIONAL PREFERENCES AND SET-ASIDES:
There may be additional mandatory preferences tied to certain government programs or funding sources. These mandatory set asides
are not to be marketed to the general public; however, they are subject to the same selection criteria and application process and must be approved by the Agency.
The Marketing Plan must reflectt such preferences.
O Referral
The Agency may refer to the Developer potential residents who are being relocated or displaced due to a governmental action. Developer, if directed by the Agency, must first offer units to these referrals, and their applications must be processed according to program selection criteria foro eligibility and must be approved by the Agency. Referrals must be entered into a separate log by the Developer oro a representative. Developer must indicate the source of the referral on the log.
No additional, optional preferences may bee implemented without the prior written approval of the Agency.
2) HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION CHANGES TO AN APPLICATION Changes to household composition in the application after it has been received will not be recognized, unless such cchange is an extenuating circumstance. Extenuating circumstances may include: - Death of a member of the household; - Birth in the household; - Divorce or other spousal situation; - Court order of custody.
The Developer must obtain from the applicant legitimate evidence of the extenuation circumstance, such as birth certificates.
3) QUALIFICATION AS A HOUSEHOLD
For the purposes of applying to HPD/HDC-financed affordable housing, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
1. "Minor" shall mean a person under the age of 18 years.
2. "Adult" shall mean a person at or above the age of 18 years.
3. "Dependent" shall mean a Minnor who is the lawful dependent of an Adult in the Household, as indicated by (i) a court order or other binding document establishing that such Adult is the legal guardian of, or is otherwise respponsible foor the custody and care of,
such Minor, (ii) school records identifying such Adult as such Minor’s legal guardian; (iii) written verification from a government agency, or a social service provider under contract to a government agency, confirming the placement of the Minor in the custody and care of such Adult, or (iv) federal or state income tax returns in which such Adult claims such Minor as a dependent.
4. "Guardian" shall mean an adult who is legally responsible for a Dependent.
5. "Immediate Family Member" shall mean, with respect to any person, (i) his or her grandparent, parent or Guardian, child or Dependent (who meets the definition of ―Dependentǁ set forth above), grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner, and (ii) any of their respective grandparents, parents or Guardians, children or Dependents, grandchildren, siblings, spouses, or domestic partners.
6. "Extended Family Member" shall mean, with respect to any person, (i) his or her Immediate Famiily Member, and (ii) his or her aunt, uncle, or first cousin, or any of their respective Immediate Family Members.
"Household" shall mean (i) a single person, or (ii) two or more persons who:
(a) are Immediate Family Members;
(b) are Extended Family Memberss who needd to live together in order to support one another with respect to finances, child care, eldercare, medical care, or otther extenuating family circumstance, as indicated by self-certifications explaining the family circumstances and needs; or
(c) are financially interdependent, as indicated by (i) cuurrent leases or utility records demonstrating a shared address, and (ii) documentation, such as bank accounts, demonstrating shared assets.
If an applicant states that the applicant and his//her spouse are separated, then the Developer must require the applicant to provide ―proof of a legitimate separation. A notarized statement is not sufficient proof of a legitimate separation. Examples of proof of a legitimate separation would be bank accounts or leases once held jointly are now no longer held jointly due to the separation. Both the latter and former documents must be provided to prove that the assets and/or lease were once held jointly but are no longer.
*Note on Student Rule for IRS Program Units: Low-income units in these programs are not to be occupied exclusively by students (for Low-Income housing tax credits, the IRS defines a ―student as a full-time student during five (5) calendar months of the calendar year at an educational institution, other than a correspondence school, with regular faculty and students), unless the household qualifies for an exception under the IRS code.
4) INCOME ELIGIBILITY
Income is determined in the same way income is deetermined under the federal Section 8 program. Developers should therefore obtain a current copy of the HUD Handbook 4350.3, which outlines these requirements. This handbook is available to print or view at http://www.hhud.gov. In addition, the Developer should require its marketing staff to attend an industry training where these requirements are reviewed in detail.
A1. Assets
GENERAL PROGRAMS
The Developer must require that all adult members of the applicant household complete a certification of asssets, which must be signed and notarized. Samples of succh certifications are included in this manual. See Asset Cere tification, AAttachment T. This form must identify both the specific assets and the actual income earned from the assets (such as the interest rate for a bank savings account).
If the total value of assetts on the certification form is less than $5,000, and such information is consistent with the assets identified on the applicant’s housing application, IRS rules for Tax Credit compliance allow that this self-certification is the only documentation required and the identified income generated from the asset is added to employment and other income. However, it is a common misconception that this IRS rule is intended to exclude income from assets if the total value is under $5,000. The income from assets must still be counted, but if it is under $5,000 no further verification beyond the self-certification is required. The self- certification must still discclose the specific assets and the income ffrom said assets. Accordingly, vague certifications that merely certify that an applicant has less than $5,000 in assets are not acceptable. If the total value of assets equals or exceeds $5,000—or if there is an unexplained difference between the assets noted on the application and those subsequently noted on the certification—complete asset verification documents must be obtained. Refere to HUD Handbook 4350.3 for guidance
regarding the appropriate documents to be obtained based on the type of assets being verified. As required under tax credit rules for all verification, documents must be current within 120 days of the tenant income certification (TIC) effective date (which is ultimately the move-in datte). When over $5,000 total, the actual earned income from the asset is compared to the imputed value (2% of the total) and the higher of these amounts is added to the household income.
A2. Employment Income
The Developer must require that for all adult household members reporting general employment income, all of the following must be provided:
The most recent year’s complete tax return. If after May 1, the most recent year’s tax documents due by the preceding April must be provided unless an appplicant provides a copy of his request to the IRS for an extension (IRS Form 4868). In such cases the previous year’s complete tax return may be accepted until October 15, when the extension expires. The gross income reflected on the most recent tax return will be the tax return income.
The most recent consecutive pay stubs (minimum of 6). Income must be calculated by both (a) averaging the pay stubs and (b) projecting the year-to-date. The higher of these two amounts will be ―the pay stub income.
Third Party Verification directly from the employer. The Developer must mail oor fax thhis form directly to the applicant’s employer, withh instructions for the employer to return directly to the Developer. Envelopes and fax confirmations must be maintained to document that the information was obtained via direct third party procedures, and not transmitted through the applicant’s hands. This form will request current salary, year-to-date income, and information about bonuses and anticipated increases. The highest amount calculated based on this information will be ―the third party incomeǁ. An applicant cannot be penalized for the lack of response from his/her employere in completing and returning the verification. However, the Developer mmust make at least three (3) attempts to obtain such third party employment verification. Developer must also obtain Third Party Verification of Termination directly from previous employers who are listed on the applicant’s application and/or previous year’s tax return.
COMPARISON and DETERMINATION: Based on the three employment income verification sources above, the Developer must compare the tax reeturn income, the pay stub income, and the third party income. The highest of these amounts will be the employment income for the household member.
o *Note: If an applicant has noot filed taxes on reported income, the applicant will nott be eligible for Agency- financed housing unless the applicant qualifies for a filing exemption under The Internal Revenue Code (see ―Publication 501 on iirs.gov). The Agency will not make available its limited housing resources to applicants with income that is required to be reported, but is not being reported, to governmental tax authorities.
o *Note: Unless a compelling arguument can be made as to why an applicant’s income decreased, the tax return income will be the income calculated if it is the highest. The most obvious exceptions would be a decrease in income due to retirement or disability (oor a widowed or divorced applicant whose most recent tax return still showed their spouse’s income).
o *Note: The Developer may request in writing that the Agency grant an exception to the above criteria if any otheer truly extenuating circumstance exists. The Agency will consider such requests on a casse-by-case basis.
A3. Self-employment Income
Since self-employment income is more diffficult to document via third party and subject to more variables and potential manipulation, special care must be given in the review of such income. The Developer must require that all adult household members reporting self-employment income provide both of the following:
Projected Self-Employment Income: An estimate of current year’s earnings certified in (a) a letter from the applicant’s accountant, tax prepareer or businness manager OR (b) a notarized self-statement. If (b), thee self –statement must be accompanied by additional documentation such as income receipts, a curu rent financial statement/budget, or other information which supports the projection. This income will be the projected self-employment income.
Historical Self-Employment Income: Most recent tax returns for
the last three (3) years. (*Again, if after May 1,, the most recent year due to be filed by the preceding April deadline must be provided unless documentation of an IRS extension filing is provided). If the applicant reported self-employment income in the same line of work for each of the three (3) years, then all three should be averaged and evaluated. If only the most recent two (2) years reflect self-employment income in the same line of work, then those two years should be averaged and evaluated. The income calculated through these aveerages and evaluations will be the historical self-employment income.
COMPARISON AND DETERMINATION: The projected and historical incomes are compared, and the higheer amount is what is used as income for the purposes of iincome eligibility.
Evaluated means that the Developer must make an effort to identify any patterns that may logically result in a conclusion that the current or next year’s income will increase beyond the three (or two) year average. For example, the incomes for the past three (3) years foor a self-employed applicant were $30,000; $32,000 and $34,000. The straight average would be $32,000. However, there is a clear pattern reflecting a gradual increase in this income source and so, consistent with that pattern, a logical evaluation of this applicant’s income would conclude that $36,000 would be the current/next year’s income.
At least the most recent two years of tax returns must document that the applicant’s income has come from self-employment in the same line of work. Applicants who do not meet this ―time test have not established a suitable income-earning history through their self-employment, and there is insufficient data to accurately evaluate their income.
A4. Sporadic Income Certain forms of income that are sporadic and non-recurring are not considered when calculating maximum household income as they are considered temporary in nature. All sources of income must be disclosed, but such non-recurring income may be excluded in the calculation process.
A5. Unemployed Household Members 18 and over
If a household member, who is 18 years of age or over, is unemployed, then the household member must complete an Unemployment Affidavit.
A6. Continuing Need
For programs designed to be affordable for households at or below 60% of AMI, the applicant’s eligibility is also dependent on whether the applicant can demonstrate a ―continuing need for housing assistance. Any Agency-subsidized housing development aims to serve individuals and families with a true, continuing need for housing assistance and not those with other financial resources available or those who have a recent history of higher earning power and are only temporarily at an income level eligible for the program.
In determining “continuing need” for these programs, the below criteria must be satisfied, or the tenant is not eligible:
o Asset Cap
The tenant must not have assets in an amount equal to or greater than $250,000 (*Note: This does not include specifically designated retirement funds. A portion of retirement accounts may be counted to determine overall assets and income from assets, but such funds are not to be included in the $250,000 cap.)
o Recent Income History
In addition to reviewing current income verifications, Developers must also evaluate an applicant’s most recent income history based on their most recent tax returns. Unless a compelling argument can be made as to why an applicant’s income decreased, the taax return income will be the income calculated if it is the highest. The most obvious exceptions would be an increase in income due to retirement oor disability (or a widowed or divorced applicant whose most recent tax return still showed their spouse’s income).
Here are examples:
The maximum income for a single applicant to Plaza Towers is $30,000. Mary Smith is a seamstress who was laid off by her previous employer, where her tax return shows she earned $32,000 a year. Heer new employment with a different garment company pays her $28,000 a year as documented by her pay stubs and 3rd party employer letter. In this case, a compelling argumeent can be made not to use Mary’s tax return income, even though that is the higheest amount. The change in Mary’s income was not voluntary and her new job/earnings are generally consistent with her recent histoory. The amount
from her current pay stubs and 3rd party should therefore be used, under which she is eligible. John however recently quit his job as a college professor, where his tax return shows he earned $75,000 a year, to pursue other interests. He has recently started working as a waiter and presently earns $27,000 a year based on his pay stubs and 3rd party verification. In this case, no exception is warranted. John has clearly demonstrated a recent history of significantly higher earning patterns. The change appears to be voluntary and/or temporary in nature, which is not the intent of Agency-financed low- income housing proograms (including those participating in the LIHTC Program). John is encouraged to apply to our programs in the future, after a minimum of a full year’s tax returns as well as current vverificationns may document a suitable pattern of eligibility.
The Developer may requeest in writing that the Agency grant an exception to the above criteria if a truly extenuating circumstance exists. The Aggency will consider such requests on a case-by-case basis.
A7. IRS Form 4506-T
The Developer must require all adult household members to execute two copies of IRS Form 4506-T, one for the owner/managing agent identified in line #5 and the otheer for the New York City Depaartment of Investigation and the Agency noted in the same line. This form is a release by which the applicant authorizes the IRS to release transcripts directly to a third party. Furthermore, the applicant must complete an IRS Form 4506 – Request for a Copy of Tax Return, as well as a New York State DTF-505 Form Authorization for Release of Photocopies of Tax Returns and/or Tax Information. In the event that a tax return provided by the applicant appears to have potenttially been altered or a file is otherwise suspicious, the Developer should make use of this form. The Agency also may make use of this form. Developers are encouraged to send these requests to the IRS upon receipt, so that in the event that files are flagged later at the Agency, an IRS response may already have been received back. Developer is to ONLY send in their copy. Do not send in Agency or DOI copies of forms.
If an applicant has been found to be eligible for a unit, then at the time of lease signing or sale closing, all adult household members must execute two new IRS Form 4506-T, Form 4506 and DTS-505 Form in accordance with the above.
A8. Authorization to Release Information Form
The Developer must require that all adult household members execute a copy of the Authorization to Release Information Form.
5) BACKGROUND CHECKS AND OTHER FACTORS
Immigration Status/Credit History
Immigration status is not a condition of eligibility foor any HPD- or HDC-financed building. Immigration status may not be questioned in any manner on the application, during the interview, oor at any other time during the tenant screening process. This doesn’t prevent a Developer from rejecting an applicant for failure to provide a Social Security Number or an Individual Tax Identification Number (TIN) when the Developer needs such information to check credit history. All applicants must be able to provide verifiable proof of legal income. Inability to provide documentation to verify income and credit is a basis for rejection, not immigration status.
Criminal Checks
The Developer must obtain a criminal background check for every applicant 18 & over. The Developer must disclose in the project’s selection plan which types of information revealed through such a check will or will not adversely impact an applicant’s eligibility. The Developer must find an applicant ineligible if one or both of the following criminal findings is flagged during the criminal background check:
A prior conviction of fraud in connectioon to any governmental housing program;
An applicant is a criminal fugitive being sought by law enforcement for either incarcerationn or deportation (as such applicants would not lawfully be able to anticipate income or even be anticipated to be an included meember of the household).
Housing Court Records.
The Developer may not automatically reject an applicant based on the applicant’s housing court records. For instance, if the applicant
can show that the case was broughht about at no fault of their own, the applicant would remain eligible. The Developeer must allow a reasonable amount of time, and nott less than 10 days, for an applicant to contest a housing court record. If the applicant does not provide proof of no fault within the 10 day period, then the Developer may reject the applicant for failing to provide proof of no fault. The applicant then has the allotted time to appeal the decision.
Discovery of False Information
Submitting false or knowingly incomplete informattion to induce eligibility is grounds for rejection and may also lead to further investigation and, potentially, criminal prosecution.
Even before a file is submitted to the Agency, there are times when Developers may independently detect appliicants who have falsified information. For example, the tax transcripts may come back and differ frf om the provided returns, or provided pay stubs or other documents may be detected as having been tampered with. In all such cases, this fraud (or potential fraud) must be reported. Even if it is detected early and does not result in the applicant receiving a unit, the attempt of fraud itself must be reported. Developers and their agents may report such findings to the Agency or, if they pprefer, directly to The NYC Department of Investigation.
6) OCCUPANCY STANDARDS AND UNNIT DISTRIBUTION
Occupancy Guidelines
The Developer must establish occupancy criteria based on unit size (if it is not stated in the developmennt’s regulatory agreement). Such criteria must be consistent with federal, state and local laws and with the Agency Regulatory Agreement. HUD has pprovided ssome guidance for establishing these criteria in the HUD Handdbook 4350.3, Chapter 3, and Para agraph 3-23. This guidance states in part that, generally, a two person per bedroom standard is acceptable. However, it makes the following important distinction:
Owners must avoid making social judgmeents on a family’s sleeping arrangement.
For example, it is not for the owner to determine whether an unmarried couple may share the same bedroom or whether a young child can share a bedroom with a parent.
In keeping with the above guidance, to maximize the utilization of its affordable units (another point considered iin HUD’s guidance) it is clear that married or similarly committed couples are intended to share one bedroom. Apart from that, however, if a family (a) qualifies as a household as defined in these Maarketing Guidelines and (b) qualifies by both number of persons and income for more than one unit size, then it should generally be that family’s decision as to which unit size they choose. The only additionaal exceptiions would be certain programs, which may have statutorily imposed occupancy standards.
The Marketing Plan must clearly outline the Developer’s occupancy criteria and associated statutory requirements.
Unit Distribution
The allocation of units (total number and number for each unit size) must match the information in the Agency Regulatory Agreement.
*Note: Distribution of all affordable units must be approved by the Agency.
7) RENT LEVELS AND INCOME STANDARDS:
Rents:
The Developer must establish the rents in accordance with the Agency Regulatory Agreement.
Maximum Income Levels:
The Agency will provide tenant income eligibility levels as modified by household size.
Minimum Income Levels:
Minimum income levels are established by the Developer based on the rent levels. However, the standard barometer for affordability is a family paying 30% of household income foor rent purposes. In no instance should the minimum income established foor initial rent-up result in a family paying more thann 35% of income for rent. Although established by the Developer, minimum income levels are subject to approval by the Agency. However, the Developer may not establish
minimum income levels for applicants with Section 8 or similar forms of housing subsidy. Such applicants must be accepted provided they meet all other eligibility criteria outlined in the marketing plan.
8) OTHER
Incorporation of “Fair Housing Laws”
There are Federal, State and local laws, orders and regulations prohibiting housing discrimination (Fair Housing Lawsǁ). Such Fair Housing Laws, as they may be amended from time to time, are hereby explicitly incorporated in these Procedures, any violation thereof will be a violation of these procedures.
Appeals
Applicants are entitled to submit a written response to an initial rejection letter with the allotted timeframe provided by the developer. Appeals should be clear & detailed with all supportting documentation. All appeals will be reviewed and responded to within 30 days of receipt. Granted appeals will be placed back in their numeric order and processed according to their original position. Appeals received after their deadline will be reviewed and if granted the application will be considered for future vacancies.
Amendmen ts
The Agency reserves the right to amend any provisiion of these procedures.
Inspections
The Agency reserves the right to conduct periodic inspectionss and spot-checks of the Developer’s marketing budget and procedures.
Household Student Status Affidavit att Recertification
For units with income limits set at or below 60% of New York City’s Area Medium Income (AMI) Limit, please use Attachment Z-2 during the Annual Recertification process.
