Permanent Supportive Housing Project
The City of Boise and Idaho Housing and Finance Association
INTRODUCTION
Through the establishment of a partnership between Idaho Housing and Finance Association and the
City of Boise, a unique opportunity has been identified to combine outreach efforts and resources to
encourage the development of a Permanent Supportive Housing project for persons experiencing
chronic homelessness in Boise. According to the annual Point In Time count- a count identifying at least
the minimum number of sheltered and unsheltered individuals on one night of the year- chronically
homeless persons, of which are predominantly single individuals, increased from 82 to 98 between the
2014 and 2015 counts. With the collaborative commitment of resources, stable affordable housing with
available supportive services can be provided to these extremely vulnerable persons.
IHFA strives to improve lives and strengthen communities by expanding housing opportunities, building
self sufficiency, and fostering economic development. In its simplest form, IHFA’s mission is to provide
funding for affordable housing opportunities in Idaho communities where they are most needed and
when it is economically feasible. The LIHTC Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) reflects this mission with the
inclusion of a Special Housing Needs Set-Aside. The QAP Special Housing Needs (SHN) Set-Aside is stated
as follows:
“Upon determination of a special housing need within the state, the Association at its sole
discretion may set aside up to 15% of the annual per capita tax credit amount to address this
housing need, and announce specific guidelines which may apply to application for these funds.
This set-aside may be available in the September and/or February application round. If this setaside is not utilized by the Association or if qualified applications are not received, the set-aside
will be made available to other qualified non-targeted applications. If utilized, the Association
will announce specific guidelines which may apply to the application for these funds a minimum
of 180 days prior to the application round.”
The City of Boise recognizes an affordable safe home, including stability for Boise’s most vulnerable
citizens, is an important element of livability. The City also recognizes chronic homeless households
currently use existing resources (emergency medical services, incarceration, and law enforcement
intervention) at a rate much higher than the average citizen. To that end, City leadership has prioritized
financial resources to support households experiencing chronic homelessness in an effort to both
reduce costs and provide resources. This unique opportunity to partner with other funding entities for a
special LIHTC set-aside speaks to the strength of this community.

Affordable Housing and Homelessness Roundtables: Beginning in 2015, Mayor Bieter began
chairing a Roundtable on Housing and Homelessness convened by the City of Boise, the City of
Meridian, Ada County and the Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority. Approximately 40
roundtable members represent the community’s non-profit and corporate sectors, advocacy groups,
the faith community, and federal, state, county and city levels of government.
Over the course of several meetings in 2015, members of the Roundtable on Housing and
Homelessness identified three primary community priorities for addressing affordable housing
needs and the needs of those experiencing homelessness in the community:
 Creation of community Housing First options
 Enhancement of Rapid Re-Housing options
 Expanding Affordable Housing Options
City of Boise: The City of Boise City, Idaho is a municipal local government organization located in
Boise, Idaho. The City of Boise is governed by the Idaho Public Records Act, Title 74, Chapter I, Idaho
Code. All, or most, of the information contained in your application will be a public record subject to
disclosure under the Public Records Act and will be available for inspection and copying by any
person.
Chronically Homeless: “A chronically homeless individual is defined to mean a homeless individual
with a disability who lives either in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an
emergency shelter, or in an institutional care facility if the individual has been living in the facility for
fewer than 90 days and had been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or
in an emergency shelter immediately before entering the institutional care facility.
“In order to the meet the ‘chronically homeless’ definition, the individual also must have been living
as described above continuously for at least 12 months, or on at least four separate occasions in the
last 3 years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least 12 months. Each period
separating the occasions must include at least 7 nights of living in a situation other than a place not
meant for human habitation, in an emergency shelter, or in a safe haven.
“Chronically homeless families are families with adult heads of household who meet the definition
of a chronically homeless individual. A chronically homeless family includes those whose
LIHTC Special Housing Need Set-Aside: Permanent Supportive Housing RFP
Page 2
composition has fluctuated while the head of household has been homeless.” (24 CFR Parts 91 and
578)
Federal Home Loan Bank - Affordable Housing Program: The Federal Home Loan Bank – Affordable
Housing Program (FHLB-AHP) facilitates the development of affordable rental housing and
homeownership opportunities for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. Through a
competitive application process, FHLB-AHP provides grants or subsidized interest rates on advances
to members to finance their affordable housing initiatives.
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME): The HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) provides formula grants to States and localities that communities use - often in partnership
with local nonprofit groups - to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or
rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to
low-income people. HOME is the largest Federal block grant to state and local governments
designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.
HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions (PJs). The State of
Idaho, through Idaho Housing and Finance Association, and the City of Boise are PJs.
Idaho Housing and Finance Association: Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) is a uniquely
created and organized financial institution and administrator of affordable housing resources, which
was created pursuant to Idaho code sec. 67-2601 et. seq. In its simplest form, Idaho Housing’s
mission is to provide funding for affordable housing opportunities in Idaho communities where they
are most needed and when it is economically feasible.
Permanent Supportive Housing: Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is community-based housing
that is safe, decent, and affordable. It provides households with disabilities experiencing
homelessness rights of tenancy and links to voluntary and flexible supports and services. PSH is
most successful when operated using a “Housing First” approach, in which households with the
greatest barriers to housing and in the most vulnerable state are admitted to housing quickly
without the requirement to have treated or addressed persistent or chronic conditions or behaviors
prior to being placed into a housing unit. Housing placement occurs in an expedited manner.
Participants take part in case management support systems that identify appropriate services and
include client choice considerations. Various partnerships are formed to ensure residents have the
opportunity to participate in supportive services.
Supportive services vary widely, but may include healthcare, mental health services, substance
abuse treatment, life skills classes, financial counseling, and job training and placement. A care
coordinator is utilized to navigate and carry out individualized service plans created through case
management, and manage partnerships and Memorandum of Understandings. Participation in
supportive services is not a condition of tenancy and cannot be required. All supports and services
provided should be administered with the main focus of creating and maintaining housing stability
for all tenants. On-site management and support services are typically a partnership between a
LIHTC Special Housing Need Set-Aside: Permanent Supportive Housing RFP
Page 3
housing authority or community housing organization with experience in housing chronic homeless
persons, and local service providers.
Point-In-Time Count: The Point-In-Time (PIT) count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered persons
experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. The purpose of the count is:
• To better understand homelessness in our community in order for households to receive
the services they need to get help and into permanent housing;
• To determine the congressional homeless funding Boise City/Ada County receives; and
• To comply with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s requirements
for Continuums of Care
RFP Application Review Committee: A joint body comprised of IHFA, the City of Boise, and other
substantial funders for project design review to ensure compliance of “Housing First” principles as
set forth by the SHN Set-Aside RFP Supplementary Guide.
Special Housing Needs Set-Aside (SHN): IHFA, as the allocator of Low Income Housing Tax Credits,
may, at its discretion, reserve or “set-aside” a portion of the annual per capita tax credit to address
special housing needs that have been identified.
Special Housing Needs Set-Aside RFP Supplementary Guide: A SHN Set-Aside RFP Supplementary
Guide has been created as a companion piece to the RFP to provide clarification and further
guidance on the desired project design and model. The supplementary Guide can be retrieved
online at http://www.idahohousing.com. Navigate through the Multifamily Housing tab.

staff will provide written response in the form of an FAQ at http://www.idahohousing.com and
http://hcd.cityofboise.org/.
PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL
A complete LIHTC application and all Special Housing Need Set-Aside exhibits or attachments must be
submitted on or before 5:00 pm, on September 2, 2016 at IHFA offices: 565 W. Myrtle St., Boise, ID
83702. The complete application may be submitted in hard copy or in electronic format on a clean USB
drive.
PROPOSAL REVIEW PROCESS
Upon confirmation that all required components of the application have been submitted by the
deadline, applications for the LIHTC SHN Set-Aside will be initially reviewed for economic feasibility by
IHFA. Applications that pass the feasibility review will then be evaluated by the RFP Application Review
Committee to assess project design, support and services, appropriateness of site selection, and the
inclusion of Housing First principles as set forth in the SHN Set-Aside RFP Supplementary Guide and
other resources referenced herein. Appropriateness of site selection includes both whether the
proposed development site contains or is situated near environmental hazards and whether the
proposed site location complies with the City’s Fair Housing Action Plan, including areas in the City that
may have 2low income/minority/ethnic concentration (if applicable).
The committee may invite applicants to offer brief in-person presentations to present and discuss their
proposed project model and design. The RFP Application Review Committee will rank all applications.
The highest ranked application will be forwarded to IHFA for LIHTC scoring and threshold review
according to the 2016 QAP. Should the leading application chosen by the RFP Application Review
Committee not pass LIHTC threshold review; the next highest ranked application will be forwarded to
IHFA for LIHTC scoring and threshold review. This same process will occur if multiple applications fail to
meet LIHTC threshold. The RFP Application Review Committee will not forward any unsuitable projects
to IHFA for threshold review.

24CFR Part 58
Areas of concentration occur when the percentage of residents of a particular racial or ethnic group is twenty
(20) percentage points or more than the community-wide average pursuant to the City of Boise’s Affirmatively
Further Fair Housing Action Plan.

PROPOSAL THRESHOLDS
The application must pass the initial review for economic feasibility, site selection, project design
program model, and conformance with Housing First principles prior to threshold review. Threshold
review will be conducted by IHFA according to the QAP threshold requirements found at Section 4.9 and
listed as follows:
Market Study Threshold: Waived based on Section 5.2 of the 2016 QAP.
While a market study will not be required, the project is consistent with priorities identified in
the Affordable Housing and Homelessness Roundtables convened by Boise, Meridian, Ada
County, Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority and Idaho Health and Welfare. Public and
private leaders prioritized three strategies to achieve desired impact for persons experiencing
homelessness. These include Permanent Supportive Housing designed as a Housing First
project, Rapid Re-Housing and the Expansion of Affordable Housing.
In addition, the City of Boise’s Housing Needs Analysis completed in 2015 includes an overview
of data and trends affecting Boise’s affordable housing inventory. In part, the analysis
recommends an emphasis on funding additional permanent supportive housing for households
experiencing chronic homelessness.
Another source for need that informs appropriate and flexible design of a development is
derived from the Boise City/Ada County Annual Point-In-Time Count. The following are the last
two years of results:
Total Homeless Population
(sheltered and unsheltered)
Persons Experiencing
Chronic Homelessness
Families Experiencing
Chronic Homelessness
2014
753
2015
755
82
98
11 (74% of Chronic
population)
3 (8% of Chronic population)
Readiness Threshold: All components of Section 4.9.2 must be satisfactorily met.
Economic Feasibility Threshold: All components of Section 4.9.3 must be satisfactorily met, with the
following considerations.
A Permanent Supportive Housing “Housing First” project is not typically able to sustain cash flow
and operate with debt service obligations due to the targeting of chronically homeless persons
estimated to earn at or below 30% AMI. Therefore, the necessity for rental subsidies is
anticipated. Economic feasibility will be interpreted to mean that a substantial replacement and
operating reserve will be funded prior to occupancy. All sources of funding secured for the
purposes of property acquisition, construction, establishing a 15 year operating replacement
reserve with an expense coverage ratio of 1.05 and a 6 months operating reserve must be
LIHTC Special Housing Need Set-Aside: Permanent Supportive Housing RFP
Page 7
documented in detail in the application. Any and all contributions must be documented with a
letter of commitment or intent from the contributor/donor individual or entity, including a
confirmation of available rental subsidies prior to project closing and construction.
IHFA will review the project proforma for economic feasibility before forwarding the application
to the joint RFP Application Review Committee for additional application review.
Management Capacity Threshold: All components of Section 4.9.4 must be satisfactorily met.
Selection Criteria Threshold: Applications must achieve 70 points or the application will be
declined.
Affordability Threshold: All components of Section 4.9.6 must be satisfactorily met.
Acquisition/Rehabilitation is not an eligible activity under the SHN Set-Aside. Additionally, all
requirements associated with any rental subsidies committed to the project must be met.
RESOURCE COMMITMENTS
The application that is successful in receiving (1) an approval from the joint RFP Review Committee and
(2) a reservation of Low Income Housing Tax Credit, will have the following resources made available for
use towards project costs:
Fifteen percent (15%) of the annual per capita tax credit which will equate to approximately
$5.75 million in tax credit.
Up to $1 million from the City of Boise to be used for land acquisition and/or new construction
costs, which shall be administered by and through IHFA. HOME funds and/or operating funds
may be available through the City of Boise pending availability.
These funds will include use restrictions on the project that are similar to those restrictions on
similar projects with similar funding sources, including but not limited to the restrictions set
forth in the LIHTC regulatory agreement and those required by the 3City of Boise.
COMPLIMENTARY RESOURCES
The following resources or agencies should be investigated as potential partners or avenues to provide
supports and services or financial support for construction or operations.
3
In the event that the project is not built and operated as proposed, the applicant will be required to re-pay the funds. The
successful applicant will be required to provide performance security (which may be in the form of a cash deposit, irrevocable
letter of credit, bond or other commercially reasonable security) with an entity licensed to do business in Idaho, in an amount
not less than 110% of the estimated cost to complete the project. The performance security document shall invoke the surety’s
liability upon a default by the developer. The Developer shall provide evidence of the contractor’s Builder’s Risk Insurance in an
amount of at least the full insurable value of the improvements, and the contractor’s standard commercial liability policy in the
amount of$2,000,000. The Developer shall also provide evidence of standard commercial liability policy in the amount of
$2,000,000. These funds are conditioned upon entering into a final agreement with IHFA following after project selection.
