REPORT ITEMS 12.1 REPORT - REVISION TO PRIOR AWARD RESOLUTION CLARIFYING LOAN SECURITY FOR ZANE-WOLFF VETERANS VILLAGE BACKGROUND: Zane-Wolff Veterans Village (Project) is an affordable housing development consisting of 14 single-family dwellings of approximately 250 square feet commonly known as “tiny homes.” The developer of the Project is Community Housing Sonoma County (CHSC). Through the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), CHSC received a conditional commitment of $489,228 in local funds for rehabilitation-related costs for the Project under Resolution 2025-014. The resolution states that the $489,228 loan will be secured by a Deed of Trust, which is part of the standard loan documents used by the Housing Authority for loans to developers. However, CHSC cannot enter into a traditional Deed of Trust for the Project because CHSC does not own the land on which the Project is built. CHSC has a leasehold interest in the real property, which is owned by the County of Sonoma. The loan to CHSC must be secured by a Leasehold Deed of Trust, and a revised resolution clarifying the loan security must be approved by the Housing Authority. RECOMMENDATION: The Housing and Community Services Department recommends that the Housing Authority, by resolution, approve a revision to the conditional commitment of loan funds in the amount of $489,228 to Community Housing Sonoma County for
