8 How does rent burden occur? THDA Housing Needs Assessment

9 National Trends - JCHS Since 2004, the number of rental households has grown by 30% - 10 million new renters. 30% of the increase comes from those earning over $100,000/year And 50% of the growth was from those over 50 years of age Since 2006 there has been 7.2 million net new units, but none of these rent for less than $850/ month (affordable to a household earning $35,000) 40% of Rural Renters are cost-burdened Low income renters now have almost 20% less income to spend on other things as they did in to 2011 rental housing cost rose 17% while median renter incomes fell 15% 9

10 May 2016 FRB-Atlanta Report No May 2016 Declines in Low-Cost Rented Housing Units in Eight Large Southeastern Cities by Immergluck, Carpenter, Luenders Median rents rose 23.4% in the South from 2012 to 2015 versus 17.4% nationally Census Bureau After great recession number of rental households increased from 34 million to 43 million (31% to 37%, respectively) Single family portion of rental stock has grown from 34% to 40% from 2005 to However many of these homes are large and low-income families cannot access A growing number of households spend over 50% of their income on rent, making them severely cost-burdened. The percentage of such severely cost-burdened households with incomes below $35,000 reached 80% in eight central cities in the Southeast. (Atlanta, Birmingham, Jacksonville, Memphis, Miami, Nashville, Orlando and Tampa The increase in cost burdened households is due in large part to the widespread losses in the supply of affordable multifamily units 10

15 2016 Rental Need Based on Population Change 35% of Nations renter households had income below $25K 62% of nation s renter households had income below $50K 22% of nation s renter households had income above $100K 33% (832K) of TN households rent 35% of (832K) of TN households had incomes below $25K 291K households 62% of (832K) of TN households had incomes below $50K 515K households TN Population Change increased 10% (600K) Need: 50K new rental units 17K units for low-income 31K units for households <$50K 15

16 16 Changes in TN Units by Rent Amount

17 Where does TN Stand on Affordable Rental Units 2012 THDA Study indicated a shortage of 111K units for lowincome residents Populations Growth indicates a need for 31K affordable units TN needs 142K affordable units What happened lost 12K units of affordable housing 17

18 What does this mean to the TN economy? If you are paying 50% of your income on housing instead of 30% and you make $35K a year your additional rent burden is $7,000. That is money not going into personal spending and personal savings It is also causing households to not have a safety net so in an emergency they take out payday loans 18

19 Nashville: Change in Rental Households by Income & Unit Changes Need for Units increases by 55K Units increase by 73K in units over $850/mo and decreases 18K units under $850 for a net of 55K 19

20 Knoxville: Change in Rental Households by Income & Unit Changes Need for Units increases by 54K Units increase by 12K in units over $850/mo and no change in units under $850 for a net of 12K 20

23 The Needs The table below details the trends for the state. These trends are focused on the $35,000-4 person household which is approximately 60% of median family income (MFI) in Nashville and a 1 person household at 80% MFI. Income below $35,000 Rent below $900/month Gap Change Davidson County 95,908 85,550 69,812 49,926 26,096 35,624 9,528 Hamilton County 55,793 51,080 32,993 27,901 22,800 23, Knox County 73,624 63,169 41,772 38,332 31,852 24,837 (7,015) Shelby County 145, ,268 88,985 83,939 56,287 50,329 (5,958) Balance of State 670, , , , , ,160 (78,793) Tennessee 1,040, , , , , ,129 (81,859) The number of Low-income households has fallen across the state between 2009 and At the same time the number of units that rent for $900/month has also declined in each of the major cities in the state. The net impact of this has been a sharp increase in the affordable rental gap in Nashville, while a closing of the gap in both Knox and Shelby counties as well as on average across the rest of the state. The need is growing most in Nashville while declining in much of the rest of the state Data: ACS 2009, ACS

24 Summary of Change in Units 7.2MM new rental units in US from In constant dollars no increase in units renting for less than $850/Mo Units renting for more than $850 accounted for ALL the growth from Units renting for less than $650 fell 475K from MFI $57, MFI - $59,039 Units renting for more than $1,500 accounted for 53% of the growth from Change: $1,660 3% Low-income renters have seen their residual income decline by 18 percent since

25 Why the loss of affordable housing? Economic Growth previously naturally occurring affordable housing is being acquired up-modeled and re-rented to higher income tenants Losing existing Low-income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) properties are coming off 20 year restriction and being sold to market-rate developers Federal Spending - funds for affordable housing in HUD Budget decreased According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, federal support for housing choice vouchers fell $228 million from 2010 to 2016, meaning the loss of housing aid for tens of thousands of vulnerable families. Reduction in LIHTC more allocation going to PHAs for redevelopment 25

26 Federal Spending Federal Community and Regional Economic Development Outlays As a Percentage of GDP 26

27 How do we create and save affordable housing? 1) Primary way to create Low-income housing in the US has been developers using Low-Income Housing Tax Credits 2) Municipalities add density bonuses and Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) 27

28 What is Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Multifamily Financing? Developers both non-profit and for-profit apply for Federal Tax Credits from Tennessee Housing Development Authority to provide equity for projects to create low rental rates. Tax Credits are sold to Syndicators for cash to invest in projects To qualify for our program developers would have to be awarded tax credits and meet the following minimum criteria: At least 51% of the project units must provide housing for low income persons, defined as: For Metropolitan Areas: households with an income of 60% or less of the area median income; or For Non-Metropolitan Areas: households with an income of 80% or less of the area median income. Rents, including utilities, cannot exceed the applicable low income rent ceiling based on 30% of the household income limit. Qualified units must remain occupied by low income tenants while financing remains in place. 28

29 LIHTC Competitive Allocations Area Total Awards Preservation Non-Profit CNI/RAD RURAL SUBURBAN URBAN Grand Total Since 2014 there have been 81-9% tax credit allocations, 16 of these awards have gone to counties that THDA designates as rural. 32 of these awards have gone to Preservation projects, and 13 have gone to public housing redevelopment activities (RAD or CNI). The typical tax credit development receives an allocation of $10,522 of annual tax credits per unit. The typical RAD/CNI has a slightly higher typical allocation of $12,425 per unit, while the typical preservation deal sits at approximately half that amount $6,035 per unit per year. 17% of the allocations between 2014 and 2017 went to PHAs, whereas from % of allocations went to PHA related entities. 29

30 Total LIHTC Financing Needs in TN Estimated annual Tennessee Demand for Permanent (20 30 year) LIHTC Financing New - $26,495,000 Acquisition/Rehab - $18,130,000 TOTAL $44,625,000/ year 30

33 33 Affordable Housing Foreclosure Rates

34 What else can we do to retain and create affordable housing? Talk to developers about setting aside some units for affordability purposes Adjust underwriting standards to support naturally- occurring affordable units (add covenants) Make elected and un-elected officials aware of the economic impact of not have affordable rentals can have on a community 34

35 Affordable Housing Creation and Preservation Need to come up with new ideas on how to aggregate capital to attack this challenge Other parts of the country have created more public funding for affordable, Municipalities and States have provided excess real estate at low-cost for the development of affordable housing Air-rights to property for affordable housing Private public partnerships have been created to aggregate the necessary capital to support project development Must engage philanthropy and business interest along with bank and government to solve a growing problem 35

36 Pathway Affordable Multifamily Housing Loan Fund Created in 2015 to allow banks to gain CRA credit by lending to a Pathway Lending a U. S. Treasury Certified CDFI to expand the availability of financing for affordable housing By lending to PL banks receive CRA qualified loans or investments Bank receive 5% state of Tennessee Franchise and Excise Tax Credits to create a yield of Prime +1 Need more banks to participate to help financing affordable housing across Tennessee both targeted and naturally occurring with flexible terms 36
