Supportive Housing: Innovative Approaches to Housing the Most Vulnerable San Diego has embraced groundbreaking approaches to ending homelessness: Providing housing and services to the most frequent users of high cost systems of care, identifying the most vulnerable unsheltered homeless at risk for dying downtown and offering them supportive housing and the creation of the Keys to Housing Toolkit with strategies to end family homelessness. Join our discussion of these initiatives, outcomes to date, and ongoing plans to continue to provide innovative solutions to homelessness in our community.
Housing Operations: Property Financials 101 Your property’s financial statements are an important management tool. This session will help you uncover what your financials are telling you, including how to read your balance sheet and income statement, calculate debt service coverage, and budget appropriately. Panelists will also discuss what your investors are looking for when reviewing your financials, as well as look at the “audited financials,” how to prepare for the audit, and how the audit ties to the limited partnership agreements and the waterfall.
Housing Issues: Managing the High Cost of Parking in Affordable Housing Developments Providing an efficient amount of parking is crucial for any community. However, excessive parking requirements increase development costs, reduce the potential for on-site amenities and create an inefficient use of land. This presentation will discuss a study initiated by the City of San Diego, with funding from the Redevelopment Agency and the San Diego Housing Commission, to examine parking needs in existing Affordable Housing developments and to consider options for customizing parking standards, creating a better match between needs and requirements.
PRESENTATIONS/HANDOUTS FOR THIS SESSION: ManagingParkingCostPresentation Trends: Greening Your Portfolio Building owners wishing to reduce energy and water use in multi-family properties face an overwhelming array of opportunities in terms of energy upgrade measures, rebates, grants, and financing programs. This workshop will introduce a tool developed to help multi-family building owners navigate the green retrofit market through identifying property-specific green upgrade opportunities, matching properties to applicable programs, and prioritizing properties within a portfolio. Panelists will also present energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water efficiency programs available to multi-family properties in the San Diego region.

Housing Finance: Alternative Financing Sources for Affordable Housing With the uncertainty of redevelopment funding and other sources drying up in these economic times, this panel will examine alternative financing resources for affordable housing. Two experts from top agencies- Department of Housing and Urban Development and California Department of Housing and Community Development will provide details about their current financing programs and will provide some insight as to what to expect in the near future. Audience members will be encouraged to ask questions of these “gurus.”
Supportive Housing: 20 Years of Supportive Housing: What Have We Learned? Join us for this interactive discussion of what’s been learned over two decades of supportive housing development and operations, as well as where the industry is headed. CSH is celebrating its 20th anniversary and will discuss the evolution of supportive housing models along with an analysis of the current "state of the industry." Skid Row Housing Trust will share lessons learned over 20 years of providing supportive housing to the most vulnerable homeless in LA. Presenters will highlight models of supportive housing, with a focus on best practices for integrated supportive housing that mixes affordable units with supportive units.
Housing Operations: The Newest Fair Housing Trends and Hot Topics The only thing that never changes is change, especially in fair housing. Don’t get caught off guard! This workshop will provide you with an overview of the issues trending now and currently on the horizon. You’ll be updated on second- and third-hand smoke dangers, the increasing number of hoarding cases, the newest domestic violence laws, direct threats in mental disability situations, medical marijuana use in affordable housing, potential new federally protected classes in discussion now and a brief ADA update.
PRESENTATIONS/HANDOUTS FOR THIS SESSION:
Housing Issues: LIHTC: Preparing for Year 15 and Negotiating the Transition Fifteen years sounded like forever when we closed on our first deals. For many of us, though, it’s now just around the corner! Find out what you should be doing to prepare for the Year 15 transition from an operations and legal perspective. Because this workshop features three attorneys, we will focus on the inevitable, yet anxiety-producing, negotiations between the general and limited partner regarding the terms and conditions of the LP’s exit and GP’s continued ownership of the property.
Trends: New Tools for Preserving HUD Housing HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing is in the midst of a major effort to provide new tools to facilitate the preservation of older HUD assisted properties. This workshop will feature a presentation on some of these new tools. The opportunities to use the new tools will be discussed in the context of a recent case study by a representative of the nonprofit owner and the financial consultant who worked helped work through the many issues involved. There will also be time for Q&A with the HUD representative.
3:00 - 3:30 BREAK/EXHIBITS 3:30 - 4:45 Workshop Sessions III Design & Development: This Proforma Needs Help! Strategies for Reducing Costs How can we get the most out of every dollar invested in affordable housing? In this session, a developer presents a hypothetical case study and challenges a contractor, architects, and planners to help him reduce the financing gap and create a proforma that works. We’ll look beyond the traditional “value engineering” that is often focuses only on a downward adjustment in specifications and seek the big ideas that can keep costs down in this era of scarce financing resources.
Housing Finance: State of the Tax Credit Equity Market Financing for affordable housing has an uncertain future. This panel will address the current state of the tax credit market. What are the latest trends in the tax credit equity market? Has underwriting criteria changed? What is the impact of the elimination of RDA’s on the equity market? Find out the answers to these and other pertinent questions from local equity market practitioners.
Supportive Housing: Operating Subsidies in Special Needs Housing Have you ever been interested in developing housing for special needs populations but wondered what operating sources exist to help cover the costs of operating housing for extremely low-income individuals? This workshop will cover what operating sources currently exist and how you can access them for your special needs housing units. Panelists will discuss what subsidy levels you can expect to receive depending upon such factors as: operating subsidy program type; administrating agency policies; and capital sources and their role in determining rent levels
Housing Operations: Property Management Challenges Anyone in property management knows that it is rewarding … and challenging. This session’s panelists will discuss some “real life” scenarios that have come up at their properties and will give perspectives from a legal, management, and owner’s perspective. Topics covered will include smoking, medical marijuana usage, bedbugs and other pests, hoarding, child neglect, and tenant disputes.
Housing Issues: The Politics of Affordable Housing: What You Won't Learn in Political Science Class While developers, advocates, and government employees work on housing projects and policies, the deciding factor is in the hands of elected officials. Hear from three veteran politicians on: How are decisions on housing policies and projects really made? What role do lobbyists, watchdogs, and the general public have in the outcome? What influence does staff have? Does compromise in the effort to appeal to both sides really yield good public policy?
Trends: Redevelopment: Where Are We? Entities that partner with redevelopment agencies have had to deal with a sudden reduction in available resources dedicated to affordable housing development. This session will provide an update on how jurisdictions have responded to ABx1 26/27, the suit brought against the State by the California Redevelopment Association and the Court’s subsequent stay. There will also be a review of SB450, new legislation that reforms the Housing set-aside.
