SONOMA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
HOUSING REHABILITATION LOAN PROGRAM DESIGN
OWNER-OCCUPIED AND RENTAL PROPERTIES (1-4 UNITS)
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose & Objectives:
1. The purpose of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (the “Program”) is to maintain residential properties within Sonoma County (County) which are predominantly occupied by low-income households.
2. The primary objective of the Program is to provide decent, safe and
sanitary housing for low-income residents of Sonoma County through the correction of actual or potential health and safety problems in existing structures.
3. The secondary objectives of the Program are to:
a. preserve Sonoma County’s affordable housing stock;
b. mitigate hazards and correct potential health and safety problems in designated areas of special need; and
c. assist in the process of neighborhood revitalization. B. Authority:
1. The five members of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, acting in their capacity as Commissioners, form the governing body for the Community Development Commission (Commission). This Program Design, containing the policies which form the framework for the Housing Rehabilitation Program, has been adopted by the Commissioners. No revisions may be made hereto without the express action of the Commissioners.
2. The Executive Director of the Commission is hereby granted the authority
to make exceptions to the policies contained in this Program Design to the extent necessary to provide assistance required to correct health and safety hazards that are deemed an imminent threat to the occupants’ physical well-being.
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
2 | P a g e
C. Program Funding:
1. Funding for this program will be from a variety of sources, including Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), County Reinvestment and Revitalization Fund, Commission Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF), and other funds as designated from time to time by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors/Sonoma County Community Development Commission.
2. The applicable regulations, priorities, and policies of each available funding source shall govern use of such funds and, in any instances of conflict with the provisions of this Program Design, the funding source regulations, priorities, and policies shall prevail.
II. ELIGIBILITY The Commission shall not discriminate in the provision of financial assistance because
of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, marital or familial status, age, medical condition, handicap, disability, sexual orientation, domestic partnership or other prohibited basis.
A. Conflict of Interest: No member of the governing body of the County of Sonoma,
participating city, or the Community Development Commission and no other official or employee or agent of the County government, participating city, or Commission who exercises any policy decision making functions or responsibilities in connection with the planning and implementation of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program shall directly or indirectly be eligible for assistance under the Program.
B. Ownership & Residency: The applicant must be the legal owner of the real
property, or the registered owner of the mobile home, to be rehabilitated. 1. For owner-occupied properties, the property must be occupied by the
owner as his or her principal residence. 2. It is not required that non-occupants on title to a real property, or listed as
registered owners on a mobile home title, be named as a maker on the loan, but they must sign the related Deed of Trust or Security Agreement.
3. Applicants who occupy and control a residential property through a
revocable or irrevocable trust, a life-estate, or other similar arrangement shall be eligible for a loan if the applicant has the legal right to encumber the property. If the trust, life estate or other arrangement requires the trustee or other non-occupant on title to approve any encumbrance on the property, the trustee or other non-occupant on title will be required to co-sign the Deed of Trust or Security Agreement to secure the loan.
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016

C. Eligible Properties: Subject to funding availability, loans may be made for
improvements to mobile homes, single-family residences, and multifamily residential properties located within the unincorporated areas of the County of Sonoma or within the boundaries of the participating cities and town. 1. Mobile homes must be legally sited. For mobile homes situated in mobile
home parks, the applicant must have a valid space lease and be current on space lease payments.
2. Properties which have benefited previously through a Commission grant
or loan program may be eligible for the program upon the review and approval of the Commission Director or his/her designee and if all prior loans are fully repaid.
3. Multifamily properties may contain up to four units in one or more buildings
sited on one or more contiguous parcels under common ownership. (Note: Assistance for multifamily properties with more than four units, as defined above, is governed by the Sonoma County Community Development Commission Loan Policies.)
4. Secondary residences (e.g. summer homes, guest cottages not used as
rentals) are not eligible for the program. 5. Condominiums and co-operative units are not eligible. Townhouses and
co-housing may be eligible if permitted by regulations and policies of available funding sources.
D. Displacement: Rental property owners shall provide certification of the following:
1. The proposed rehabilitation work will not cause permanent displacement
of any of the tenants currently residing at the project.
2. No tenant has been, nor will be, forced to move from the project permanently so that the project may qualify for the Housing Rehabilitation Program.
E. Income and Asset Limits: All occupant households must demonstrate income
and asset eligibility.
1. Eligible properties shall be occupied by low-income households with incomes not to exceed 80% of area median income (AMI) adjusted for family size.
2. At least 51% of the units in a multifamily complex and one unit in a duplex must be occupied by income-eligible tenants.
3. AMI is determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) or the California Department of Housing and
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
4 | P a g e
Community Development (HCD), depending upon the funding source for the rehabilitation loan.
4. Household income is computed as defined in Section VIII. 5. There shall be a cap on the level of assets allowed for program eligibility for
owner-occupied properties.
a. Household assets cannot exceed 150% of the HUD AMI for a household of four persons* except as provided for below, regardless of funding source for loan.
b. Elderly and/or permanently disabled households may have assets not exceeding 300% of the HUD AMI for a household of four persons*, regardless of funding source for loan.
*As of May, 2015, the HUD AMI for a household of four is $75,900.
6. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section II, properties in
areas designated in Appendix A as areas of special need for purposes of mitigating hazards or correcting potential health and safety problems are not subject to income or asset requirements to be eligible for assistance.
III. LOAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS The Commission will offer amortized and deferred-payment loans with below-market interest rates. Each of these is described in greater detail below. All property owners must provide financial documentation sufficient for Commission staff to make loan approval decisions in compliance with the following loan terms and conditions. A. All loans under this policy are non-recourse loans.
B. Amortized Loans: All loans to rental property owners shall be fully amortized loans. Loans to owner-occupants who are able to afford the regular monthly payments on the loan shall also be fully amortized. An owner-occupant household will be considered able to afford monthly payments on an amortized loan if their total monthly housing costs are less than 30% of their gross monthly income. Monthly housing costs shall be defined as the sum of all mortgage payments including the rehabilitation loan payments, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, homeowner’s association dues, and utility costs. Housing costs for mobile home owners shall also include the monthly park space rent. Utility costs shall include gas, electricity, other heating fuel, water, sewer, garbage, and shall be calculated using allowances established by the Sonoma County Housing Authority.
1. Term: All amortized loans will be for a 20-year term. Except as allowed
under Section VII B, amortized loans shall be due and payable in full prior
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
5 | P a g e
to 20 years should one or more of the following occur: 1) the borrower dies; 2) the property or any interest therein is sold, conveyed or transferred; 3) the borrower no longer occupies the property as his or her principal residence for reasons other than medical treatment, disability, education, family matters or similar situation which the Commission Director or his/her designee approves in writing and which requires a temporary alternate residence; 4) the borrower does not make payments when due; or 5) a breach of any provision of the note or deed of trust/security instrument occurs.
a. A borrower may prepay the outstanding loan balance, or any
portion thereof, at any time without penalty. b. All payments on the amortized loan shall be applied first to the
interest due and then to the principal balance of the loan.
2. Interest: The annual interest rate for amortized loans is 3%. 3. Loan Amount: The maximum amount of an amortized loan is $50,000 for
a single-family house or mobile home on owned land; $24,000 for a mobile home on a rented space; and $25,000 per unit for multifamily units. Exceptions may be made in cases where hazard mitigation is required as a condition for the rehabilitation work.
B. Deferred-Payment Loans: The Commission shall offer loans on a deferred-
payment basis to owner-occupants who cannot afford monthly payments on an amortized loan at the time of application. The applicant household will be considered unable to afford monthly payments on an amortized loan if their monthly housing costs, as defined in Section III.A, exceed 30% of their gross monthly income.
1. Term: The loan term shall be 20 years. No payments shall be required
prior to the twentieth anniversary of the loan. However, except as allowed under Section VII B, the deferred-payment loan shall be due and payable in full prior to 20 years should one or more of the following occur: 1) the borrower dies; 2) the property or any interest therein is sold, conveyed or transferred; 3) the borrower no longer occupies the property as his or her principal residence for reasons other than medical treatment, disability, education, family matters or similar situations which Commission Director or his/her designee approves in writing and which require a temporary alternate residence; or 4) a breach of any provision of the note or deed of trust/security instrument occurs. a. At the beginning of the twenty-first year, the deferred-payment loan
is due and payable in full. b. A borrower may repay the outstanding balance of the loan, or any
portion thereof, at any time without penalty. A borrower may choose to make irregular, periodic payments on the deferred-
payment loan. All such prepayments will be credited first to the interest due and then to the principal balance of the loan.
2. Interest: Interest will be simple interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the date on which the Promissory Note is executed. The annual interest rate for deferred payment loans is 3%.
3. Loan Amount: The maximum amount of a deferred-payment loan is
$50,000 for a single-family house or mobile home on owned land and $24,000 for a mobile home on a rented space. Exceptions may be made in cases where hazard mitigation is required as a condition for the rehabilitation work.
C. Relocation Requirements: Owners of rental properties must agree to comply with
all applicable federal and state relocation laws and regulations.
1. If temporary relocation of tenants is required during rehabilitation, the borrower shall be responsible for locating comparable temporary housing which is suitable, decent, safe and sanitary.
2. The rental property owner shall be responsible for paying all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the tenants in connection with the temporary relocation including the cost of moving to and from the temporarily occupied housing and any increase in monthly rent and utility costs at such housing.
3. The rental property owner shall deposit sufficient funds into an approved
escrow account to fully cover the estimated temporary relocation costs of the project. The Commission shall issue payments from the escrow account to the tenants, or to the rental property owner if payment has already been made to the tenants, for reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket relocation expenses incurred.
D. Affordability Restrictions: The following affordability restrictions will be required
based on whether the rehabilitation is considered to be “substantial” or “non-substantial”, as defined in Section VIII.
1. Substantial Rehabilitation:
a. For any substantial rehabilitation of rental property assisted with any source of funds, a covenant will be recorded restricting continued occupancy of the property to low- or very low-income households for fifty-five (55) years. Said covenant shall run with the land.
b. If required by the funding source for substantial rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-family properties, a covenant will be recorded restricting continued occupancy of the property to low- or very-low
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
6 | P a g e
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
7 | P a g e
income households for up to forty-five (45) years. Said covenant shall run with the land.
2. Non-Substantial Rehabilitation:
a. For non-substantial rehabilitation of rental properties assisted with any source of funds, a covenant will be recorded restricting continued occupancy of the units to low- and very low-income households for twenty (20) years. Said covenant shall run with the land.
b. If required by the funding source for non-substantial rehabilitation of
owner-occupied single-family properties, a purchase option will be recorded in favor of the Commission for up to fifteen (15) years. The Commission will exercise the option if (a) the owner decides to sell the property during the term of the option, (b) the Commission identifies a qualified buyer, and (c) the Commission has adequate funding to support, if needed, said buyer’s acquisition of the property at fair market value. If the Commission does not exercise the option, the seller can sell the property on the open market. The specific terms of the purchase option shall be detailed in an Option Agreement, available in template form for prospective borrowers to review.
IV. ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS
A. Eligible Improvements: Improvements must be of a permanently fixed nature. Repairs and improvements should be completed in the following priority order.
1. Improvements to correct health and safety hazards, including lead hazard
removal, and to maintain the structural integrity of the building. 2. Repairs to correct cited code violations. 3. Repairs to correct other code items. 4. Repairs to correct incipient code items.
B. Ineligible Improvements:
1. Items which exceed the Commission’s “moderate quality” standards for fixtures, windows, floor coverings, finishes, and other items.
2. Improvements of a recreational nature are not eligible. 3. Luxury improvements.
C. In no event shall the Commission approve loans for work unless all identified items described in IV.A:1 and 2 are corrected as a result of the work carried out in conjunction with the Commission's loan, except as permitted in areas of special need as designated in Appendix A.
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
8 | P a g e
D. The Commission shall not approve loans for work required to repair a condition
for which the applicant has received, or will receive, an insurance settlement or funds from another source (such as FEMA or SBA) to pay for the repair except to augment the insurance or other funds in cases where such funds are insufficient to make the required repairs in compliance with all applicable codes or ordinances.
E. All work funded in whole or in part by the Commission is subject to the permit
processes of the State, County and/or city in which the property is located.
1. All work must be done according to standards acceptable to the Sonoma County Permit and Resource Management Department, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, and/or the building inspection department of the city in which the property is located.
2. The proper permit(s) shall be obtained for all work which requires such
permit(s). The cost of permits may be part of the loan. F. "Self-Help" work by the owner-occupant may not be a part of the contract or loan.
No "volunteer" assistance is allowed primarily for liability reasons.
V. LOAN PROCEDURES
A. Application Process:
1. All loan applications will be processed and evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. Completed applications will be considered for assistance based upon the order of receipt of completed applications by the Commission. An application will be considered to be complete when all required information has been supplied by the property owner(s) and tenant households.
2. All applicants will complete a pre-application and furnish Commission staff
with all required verifications. The information in the pre-application will be used to determine the applicant's initial eligibility for assistance.
3. After initial eligibility has been established, a thorough inspection of the property will be carried out by Commission staff. If necessary, additional tests and/or inspections by third parties will be conducted. A rough scope of work and cost estimate will be developed based on the inspection(s), tests and consultation with the property owner.
4. After review and acceptance of the rough scope of work by the
homeowner, Commission staff will prepare a formal loan application.

B. Loan Approval: Commission staff shall exercise sound underwriting practices in all loan transactions. 1. In all instances, the Commission's underwriting standards will be
employed in a consistent, equitable manner. The Commission will at all times utilize sound judgment in making loans to ensure that the public funds are adequately protected. The Commission's underwriting standards will normally follow private lending practices but may in some cases be more lenient.
2. Loan applications shall be subject to normal commercial underwriting
criteria by the Commission. Such criteria may include, but are not limited to: credit reports, appraisals, title reports, cash-flow analyses, etc.
3. The following services may be provided to all applicants. Charges for the
following may be included in any loan made. There will be no charge for these services if the Commission does not approve the loan. If the applicant makes a voluntary decision not to proceed with the loan after approval, and if there is no other reason why the project cannot proceed, the owner may be requested to reimburse the Commission for all direct costs incurred.
a. Appraisal of the market value of property. b. Credit report on each owner of the property. c. HCD title search for mobile homes. d. Preliminary title report and title insurance for loans to be secured by
real estate. e. Structural pest control and other inspections or tests necessary to
determine property condition.
f. Lead and asbestos risk assessment(s).
4. The following underwriting criteria will be used to evaluate each application:
a. Loan applicants must be the legal owner of the real property, or the
registered owner of the mobile home, and must have the authority to encumber the property.
b. A preliminary title report shall be obtained for all real estate loans
(all loans except mobile homes on rented land). c. A formal title search will be conducted by HCD for all mobile home
loans.

d. Owner-occupants receiving deferred payment loans are exempt
from the credit history requirements of this section. A consumer credit report will be obtained for all other loan applicants. Key factors to be considered in reviewing the credit history are the borrower’s ability to manage financial affairs and budget for debt and necessities.
e. At the discretion of the Commission Director or his/her designee, a
loan may be approved despite isolated instances of slow payments or even more significant past problems, based upon careful analysis of the contributing causes and circumstances. The owner’s demonstrated ability to reestablish a good credit standing, to maintain a good repayment pattern on housing-related debts, and to build equity in the property are all factors to be considered.
f. Unreported income, outstanding judgments, unreported property
liens and poor credit ratings indicate that an applicant is a poor risk for the loan program. Unreported income is fraudulent and will result in denial of a loan.
g. Property taxes and mobile home registration fees must be current
in order for an applicant to be considered for a loan and must be paid when due during the life of the loan.
h. Property insurance, including fire (and flood if applicable), will be
required during the life of the loan. If an applicant does not have sufficient insurance to cover the amount of the Commission's loan and all senior liens or the value of the improvements whichever is less, or if the policy has lapsed, deficiencies must be corrected as a condition of loan approval. The Commission shall be named on the policy as mortgagee/loss payee for the full term of the loan.
i. For all properties assisted, loans may be made that result in a loan-
to-value ratio of up to 100%. Property value will be established through an appraisal prepared by a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser.
j. To determine whether rehabilitation will be considered substantial
or non-substantial, the after-rehabilitation value of the property shall be presumed to equal the property value as determined above, plus the total cost of the rehabilitation work to be completed under this program.
k. Senior liens on any property will be allowed only if their terms meet
the following conditions: i. The loan is not negatively amortized.
Housing Rehabilitation Program Design July 2016
11 | P a g e
ii. The loan terms do not contain provisions for any balloon
payment which would come due during the term of the Commission loan; and
iii. Open lines of credit are calculated as the maximum credit
available to the borrower for purposes of determining loan-to-value ratio.
5. Each application will be summarized and a recommendation for loan
approval or disapproval will be made to the Commission's Director or his/her designee. The recommendation will include the maximum recommended loan amount and repayment terms.
6. The Commission Director or his/her designee will make the final decision
on each application.
7. Discretion of Commission Staff: It shall be within the purview of the Commission Director or her/his designee, to disapprove any loan application at any stage of processing through any formal or informal action which is consistent with sound underwriting practices and fair housing lending procedures.
C. Loan Documents: After selection of the contractor by the property owner,
Commission staff will prepare loan documents including the Fair Lending Notice, Promissory Note, Deed of Trust and/or Mobile Home Security Agreement, Truth-in-Lending Disclosure, Notice of Right of Rescission and Request(s) for Notice of Default and Sale.
1. All legal owner-occupants of the real property, and all registered owner-
occupants of the mobile home, shall execute all loan documents.
2. Occupant spouses and registered domestic partners who are not listed as owner on title to the property shall sign the loan documents unless title is clearly held as the owner’s sole and separate property.
3. Non-occupants who are listed on title to the property shall execute the
Deed of Trust or Mobile Home Security Agreement
4. Any owner contributions necessary for completion of the rehabilitation project shall be placed in the Commission's rehabilitation escrow account for disbursement to the contractor, or in payment of other loan costs, on behalf of the property.

VI. CONSTRUCTION
A. Competitive Bidding: After a loan is approved, Commission staff will coordinate the competitive bidding process to obtain fixed-price bids from qualified, licensed contractors.
1. The Commission shall determine whether a contractor is qualified through
a pre-screening process. All contractors must submit a contractor application on the required forms to the Commission at, or prior to, the time of submitting their first bid.
2. The property owner may select any responsible contractor whose bid does
not exceed 110% of the Commission staff’s in-house cost estimate.
B. Construction Contract: The Commission staff will coordinate contracting for all work funded through the rehabilitation loan or with owner contributions to the project, manage the contracts, inspect the work and approve and disburse payments.
1. The contract for the rehabilitation will be executed by the owner and the
contractor. The Commission staff will provide the contract form.
2. The Commission staff shall assist the owner in the control, supervision and direction of the work to be performed under the contract.
3. Changes to the services to be provided under the contract and amounts to
be paid pursuant to the contract may be made only by written change order by and between the owner and the contractor and only upon written approval of the Commission’s Executive Director or his/her designee.
4. During the period of performance of the contract, the owner shall not enter
into any additional agreements with the contractor, whether written or verbal, without the written approval of the Commission’s Executive Director or his/her designee.
5. Commission staff will inspect each project during construction to assure
that work is progressing in a timely manner and that it is being carried out in accordance with the Scope of Work.

VII. LOAN ADMINISTRATION and COLLECTIONS
A. Subordination: The Commission will subordinate the loan to a new loan only in the case where the owner wants to refinance the first mortgage and the owner will not take any cash out of the property nor will the Commission's financial position in the property be negatively impacted in any way.
B. Transfer and Assumption: Owner-occupied rehabilitation loans provided through
this program cannot be transferred or assumed except in the case of transfer to an occupant spouse, registered domestic partner, or child. Such occupant spouse, domestic partner, or child must provide certification of occupancy. Loans for rental properties may be assumed by subsequent purchasers of the property at the discretion of the Commission’s Executive Director or his/her designee, as long as they are, and remain, compliant with the eligibility requirements of this Program Design.
C. Amortized Loan Collections: The borrower shall make regular monthly payments
directly to the loan servicing agent as specified by the Commission. The Commission Director shall have the authority to select an outside loan servicing agent or to collect loan payments in-house. A loan servicing fee will be collected with each monthly payment.
D. Deferred-Payment Loan Collections: The borrower shall make full repayment of the loan when due directly to the Commission or loan servicing agent as specified by the Commission. A single loan set-up fee will be collected upon execution of the loan documents.
1. Recipients of deferred-payment loans will be allowed to make periodic
prepayments directly to the Commission in order to reduce the amount of their indebtedness.
2. Elderly and Disabled Borrowers: At the beginning of the twenty-first year,
the loan due date may be extended for households which qualify as elderly (over 62 years of age) and/or permanently disabled provided that: 1) the borrower is still the owner-occupant of the property; 2) the borrower is not in default of any of the loan terms; and 3) the dollar amount of any senior liens does not exceed the dollar amount of senior liens in effect when the Commission loan was recorded; and 4) the borrower will pay a loan modification processing fee of $500, which fee may be financed in the principal balance of the deferred-payment loan. The deferred-payment loan’s new term and interest rate will be the less stringent of those contained in this Program Design or those which may be in effect at the time the loan modification is approved by the Commission. This provision shall apply retroactively to all housing rehabilitation loans made by

2. If the Commission Director determines that the borrower is in default of
one or more of the loan terms, the Commission Director, with the advice of County Counsel, may initiate foreclosure proceedings.
a. The Commission may contract with a trust deed service company
to carry out a Notice of Default and Sale on behalf of the Commission, or may carry out the foreclosure process in-house.

The Commission may disburse funds for all costs necessary to enforce its lien and complete the foreclosure sale process, including but not limited to: legal fees, trust deed service fees, past-due property taxes and mobile home registration fees, mobile home space rent and utility charges, property hazard and liability insurance, needed maintenance and repair, and real estate agent fees.
c. If the loan is reinstated, any expenses will be the responsibility of the
owner as a condition of reinstatement. 3. If the property goes to sale pursuant to this section, the sale proceeds
minus the amount of any senior liens and the Commission’s foreclosure costs shall be credited against the outstanding loan balance.
