Prince George&rsquos County has received an allocation of $1,802,242 NSP3 funding from HUD and must submit a competitive application to the State for additional State NSP3 funds. In light of the NSP3 targeting requirements seven (7) census tracts in the Suitland community are proposed as the target area for the County&rsquos NSP3 target area - The Suitland NSP3 Initiative. These tracts are: ;801902;802001;802002;802105;802405; >In light of the significant drop in residential property values, promising signs of increase in sales, low vacancy rates, relatively high percentage of existing rentals, and significant redevelopment initiatives, with the potential of increasing home values, NSP3 activities designed to promote homeownership are proposed for the Suitland NSP3 census tracts include: > &bull A buyer driven homeownership assistance strategy modeled after the NSP1 Down Payment on Your Dream Program; and > &bull An acquisition, Green Rehabilitation, and resale to eligible low income buyers Activity 1: Buyer driven homeownership assistance strategy involving soft-second loans for acquisition of eligible properties in the target census tracts. >Leverage county investment in the Suitland Manor Redevelopment Project and capitalize on the existence of the Suitland Federal Center employment center. >NSP3 funding will be used to provide homeownership assistance through mortgage principal reduction, down payment and/or closing costs for income eligible first time homebuyers to purchase foreclosures or short sales in the targeted census tracts. Approved buyers will receive a 0% interest deferred payment loan, for up to 5% of the purchase price. All buyers will have to make a minimum contribution of 1.75% of the purchase price. >In addition, to encourage workforce housing and certain professions to purchase homes in the target area, the amount of funding provided will be increased for the following beneficiaries: >&bull Income eligible policemen, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and teachers &ndash up to 7% of the purchase price, as needed. >&bull Income eligible Suitland Federal Center employees &ndash up to 7% of the purchase price, as needed.

According to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development&rsquos Report of Property Foreclosure Events in Maryland Third Quarter 2010, with 4,115 foreclosure filings, the County continued to have approximately 30% of foreclosure activity statewide. Foreclosure activity is defined as Notices of Default, Notices of Sales, and Lender Purchases (REO). In the seven Suitland NSP3 Census Tracts, there were an estimated 556 foreclosure starts during the past year, and 124 REOs or bank owned properties between July 2009 to June The percent of housing units in the target area with high cost mortgages obtained between 2004 and 2007, which is a predictor of future foreclosures, range from 37.5 % to 44.1 %. 3

4 >The foreclosure crisis has had a significantly negative impact on neighborhoods in Prince George&rsquos County, as median home values have declined on the average of 40% over the last four years. According to the Maryland Association of Realtors Housing Statistics, between November 2006 and November 2010, the average sale price of residential units, including single family, detached, condos, and cooperatives declined from $344,956 to $197,880, representing a 42.6 % decline in values. >In the Suitland Suitland Zip Code, the average sale value declined by 51.19% between November 2006 and November Residential sales in Suitland Zip Code YEAR > Units Sold >% Change in units sold % >Average Sold Price $299,875 $146,360 >% Change Avg. Sold Price % >Median Sold Price $300,000 $143,000 >% Change Median Sold Price % VACANCY RATE IN THE SUITLAND NSP3 CENSUS TRACTS >The vacancy rate, defined by the HUD NSP3 planning data, as the number of residential addresses vacant 90 or more days, is low for the targeted tracts, with the highest rate of 3.3% for census tract RENTAL VS. HOMEOWNERSHIP CHARACTERISTICS > How Fund Use Addresses Market Conditions: rong>there are a significant percentage of rentals in the Suitland NSP3 census tracts. Ranging from 78% in tract to 37% in Tract numbers and have the highest percentage of homeownership at 63% and 59% respectively. >SALE TRENDS >According to the Metropolitan Regional Information Systems (MRIS), year-end data for the number of residential units sold in Prince George&rsquos County indicate a significant decline of 46%, from 2006 to > >Prince George&rsquos County Year End Number of Units Sold >YEAR > Units Sold 13,116 7,568 4,916 7,028 >% Change in Units sold % -35% 43% However, a significant and promising indicator for the Prince George&rsquos County market is the rise in the number of units sold from 4,916 to 7,028 between 2008 and 2009 or a 43% increase. We are still awaiting year end data for 2010 to see if the increasing trend in sales holds. Also encouraging, is the units sold trends for the Suitland Zip code. When we do a comparison for residential sales in November for years 2006 to 2010, residential units sold increased by 71.74% between 2008 and 2009, and are up by 25.32% as of November Units Sold Suitland Zip Code >YEAR > Units Sold >% Change in Units Sold % % 71.74% 25.32% Ensuring Continued Affordability: Affordability means that the NSP3 assisted homebuyer whose household income qualifies for the program, must maintain the housing as the principle residence of the family throughout a minimum defined affordability period, agreed to by the buyer at the time the NSP3 assistance is provided. The minimum Long-term affordability for NSP3 units for the Suitland NSP3 Initiative will mirror HOME Investment Partnerships Program periods of affordability defined in the table below. NSP 3 allows the use of HOME affordability standards as a safe harbor. To ensure that these affordability periods will be met, the grantee will impose a recapture provision on the assistance, allowing Prince George&rsquos County to recoup the NSP3 assistance provided to the homebuyer, if the housing does not continue to be the primary residence of the family for the duration of the affordability period. The amount recouped or &ldquorecaptured&rdquo will be on a sliding scale the longer the homebuyer remains in the property. Recapture provisions will be included in a Regulatory Agreement and Deed of Trust, recorded against the property in the land records of Prince George&rsquos County. Annual servicing of the NSP loan portfolio includes verification of borrower&rsquos primary residency status through tax records, driver&rsquos license, and selected site visits. Failure to maintain primary residency throughout affordability period is a default condition of the NSP loan. Affordability Requirements >NSP3 Investment Amount >Per unit Under $15,000 5 >$15,000 - $40, >Over $40,000 &nbs Ensuring Continued Affordability: p; 15 Minimum period of affordability in Years Definition of Blighted Structure: The Property Standards Group of the Prince George&rsquos Department of Environmental Resources enforces the County housing codes by using the &ldquointernational Property Maintenance Code 2000 (&ldquothe Code&rdquo), Section 108 of the Code defines blighted structures as &ldquoopen unfit, unsafe, unlawful or abandoned structures&rdquo. 4

5 Definition of Affordable Rents: Please note that rental activities are not being proposed for the Suitland NSP3 Initiative. This preference is based on the relatively large amount of rentals in the NSP3 targeted census tracts. >Should the NSP3 Substantial Amendment be amended to include rental in the future, affordable rents will mirror the HOME Investment Partnerships Program rent limits, which NSP3 allows as a safe harbor. The HOME Final Rule at 24 CFR Part provides the following maximum rent limits as the lesser of: >1. The fair market rent for existing housing for comparable units in the area as established by HUD under 24 CFR ; or >2. A rent that does not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose annual income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for number of bedrooms in the unit. Housing Rehabilitation/New Construction Standards: The Suitland NSP3 Acquisition and Rehabilitation Activity &ndash &ldquogreen Suitland Initiative&rdquo will use the Enterprise Green Communities Green Single Family Rehabilitation Standards at Vicinity Hiring: To the greatest extent possible grantee will require contractors performing work on the Suitland Green activity to recruit from the local area. Good faith efforts will include advertising availability of contracting and employment opportunities at local civic association, churches, etc., Conducting rebid conference in local area, and holding a job fair for contractors to recruit workforce. >Partners: Redevelopment Authority of Prince George&rsquos County > United Communities Against Poverty, Inc. > Housing Initiative Partnerships, Inc. (HIP) Procedures for Preferences for Affordable Rental Dev.: Procedures for preference for affordable rental development included an assessment of the existing housing tenure pattern in the Suitland trarget area. The NSP 3 Substantial Amendment does not include rental housing activity due to a large concentration of rental housing activity in the Areas of Greatest Need as reflected below: (Source: HUD User/NSP 3 Data Sets) Census Tract % of Existing Rental Housing % % % % % % % Grantee Contact Information: NSP3 Program Administrator Contact Information > Name (Last, First) Clemens, Rosalyn B. > Address rbclemens@co.pg.md.us > Phone Number > Mailing Address Prince George&rsquos County Department of Housing and Community Development, Neighborhood Stabilization Program > 9201 Basil Court, Suite 155 > Largo, MD Overall Projected Budget from All Sources Budget Obligated Funds Drawdown Program Funds Drawdown Program Income Drawdown Program Income Received Funds Expended Match Contributed To Date N/A $4,134, $279, $2,082, $ $1,792, $1,739, $1,739, $348, $348, $98, $1,834,
