We are excited that you will be helping us to educate elected officials and partners on the importance of community land trust (CLT) and permanently affordable housing (PAH) programs. I want to thank you for developing and sharing your story with us and taking time away from your family to join us in Washington DC. I also appreciate you taking the time to reach out to elected officials to set up meetings in Washington DC. Your efforts to date have already moved our initiative forward. Our goals for this year s hill visits are to: 1. Educate elected officials about the importance of CLTS and PAH; and 2. Ensure that as many people as possible have access to CLT homeownership opportunities by: - Making sure that there is adequate federal funding for critical sources of CLT project funding like HOME and CDBG; and - Making sure that CLT homebuyers have access to a variety of mortgage finance products. Our trip to Washington DC this year is going to be enhanced by your participation as an Ambassador. Your job in Washington DC is to: 1. Tell your story in your own words. Elected officials want to know how their policies impact people like you on the ground. 2. Have fun! As you tell your story and continue to participate in the Ambassador Initiative, please know that if there is something that we can do to make your time more enjoyable, we are open to suggestions. In closing, I hope that you have enjoyed these past few months as we get ready for the Washington DC trip. Thank you for all of your work and I look forward to the time we get to share with each other. Respectfully Jason Webb Community Capacity Building Associate Melora Hiller Executive Director National Community Land Trust Network
3 Who We Are When we are on the Hill, we are all representing the National Community Land Trust Network (Network), as well as your individual CLT and community. The Network is a membership based organization of more than 160 community land trusts (CLTs) and permanently affordable homeownership (PAH) programs across the country. We provide training and technical assistance to its members as well as conduct research and advocacy to advance the field. We will be educating elected officials on community land trusts and permanently affordable homeownership. For the purpose of these meetings, we ll use the following definitions: Community Land Trust (CLT): A nonprofit organizations that provide lasting community assets and permanently affordable housing opportunities for lower-income families. Permanently Affordable Homeownership (PAH): An umbrella term for all resale-restricted housing that is affordable for at least 30 years (and preferably forever). PAH includes CLT and deed restricted homes as well as limited equity cooperatives. PAH is also frequently called shared-equity homeownership. Quick Stats about CLTs and the Network Membership There are over 160 Network Members. There are over 200 Community land trusts and more than 500 inclusionary housing programs across the country. Network Members represent roughly 15,000 homeownership units and 25,000 rental units. However, an additional 500 inclusionary housing programs exist with an estimated 150,000 affordable housing units. Average income served by permanently affordable homeownership programs is 65% of AMI.

8 Storytelling Your story is the most important part of each congressional meeting. You are going to tell the elected officials why community land trusts and permanently affordable housing matter by telling them how it has impacted your life and the lives of those around you. You really can t tell a bad story. But, if you get nervous, remember Lisa s tips: Take a deep breath. Keep it simple. Speak from the heart. Include a few details to help paint a relatable picture. Some questions to think about when you re shaping your story: 1. Why did you want to become a homeowner? 2. What was your housing situation before becoming a homeowner? 3. How did you hear about your CLT? 4. How did your CLT help you become a homeowner? 5. Was the process challenging? If so, how? 6. What was it like to sign all of the closing documents and get the key to your own home? 7. Has being a homeowner had an impact (positive or negative) on your life? 8. What would be different in your life if you hadn t purchased a CLT home? 9. What has surprised you about being a homeowner? 10. How has the CLT helped support you as a homeowner (as opposed to a homebuyer)? 11. What s your favorite thing about your home? Your CLT? Your community? As you know, we ve asked you to prepare two different variations on the story above one about funding and the other about financing. These variations are the icing on the cake; if the details get too technical or you can t squeeze it all in, don t worry about it. You will be with a team of folks who can supplement your story. But for planning, some questions to think about are: Funding 1. Did your CLT use any federal funds to help make your home affordable? 2. What would have happened if those funds were not available? 3. What will happen to your CLT and your community if those funds aren t available in the future? Financing 1. Did you have trouble being approved for a mortgage not because of your income or credit but because you were purchasing a CLT property? 2. Did you have a variety of choices of mortgage products? 3. Is your mortgage affordable to you? Do you feel confident and secure in the terms? 4. Did it take a long time? Were there a lot of hoops to jump through? 5. Now that you ve been through the process, what lessons would you share with a future CLT homebuyer?

10 AMBASSADOR CHEAT SHEET Meetings on Increasing FUNDING for CLTs and PAH We want to see more CLT homes on the ground and so we want to make sure that, at minimum, Congress does not cut funding for affordable housing. Even better, we would like to see Congress increase funding levels! Background Almost all community land trusts use federal funds to help make their homes affordable to low- and moderateincome homeowners. For that reason, the federal budget is very important to us. Especially since, over time, federal funds for affordable housing and community development needs have shrunk while needs on the ground have grown. This means that organizations like CLTs have had to try to figure out how to serve more households using fewer resources. Each year, Congress must pass an appropriations bill that sets the federal budget for all discretionary funding. The bill is overseen by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees which are, in turn, advised by twelve sub-committees including the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development subcommittees which make recommendations on the US Department of Housing and Urban Development s (HUD) overall budget. HUD oversees two significant sources of funding that CLTs use to help write down the cost of developing housing in order to make it affordable to low- and moderate-income households: the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). Each year, HUD awards HOME and CDHG funds to states and localities based on a formula. The states and localities then use the money to fund a wide range of community development activities including affordable housing development. On the Hill We ll be meeting with members of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Subcommittees who oversee HUD s budget. For 2015, our specific asks are to: 1. Increase appropriations to Transit, Housing and Urban Development (THUD); 2. Support the President s FY 16 budget for the HOME program ($1.06 billion); and 3. Not support the proposed cuts to CDBG (at the very least, please fund CDBG at 2015 levels of $3 billion). Your Story This is your FUNDING story. The specific information that you want to impart is: 1. Being a CLT homeowner has had a positive impact on your life; 2. But for federal funding programs like HOME, you would not be able to own your home; 3. You want to make sure that other individuals and families have similar opportunities to become homeowners.
11 Permanently Affordable Homeownership & Community Land Trusts Sustainable models that use a one-time public investment to create a permanently affordable home WHAT ARE CLTs AND PAH PROGRAMS? Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are nonprofit organizations that provide lasting community assets and permanently affordable housing opportunities for lower-income families. CLTs are best known for their permanently affordable homeownership (PAH) programs. Along with CLTs, some Community Development Corporations (CDCs), Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), Habitat for Humanity affiliates, and government-based inclusionary zoning programs have PAH programs. In 46 states: >200 CLTs >600 PAH programs > 150,000 homes HOW DO THEY WORK? A one-time public investment is used in a self-sustaining way to keep homes forever affordable to families with modest incomes. PAH programs invest public funds into a property to make home purchase affordable for a lowerincome family. The program supports the family to attain and sustain homeownership. In return, the homeowner agrees to sell the home at an affordable price to another lower-income homebuyer in the future. Consequently, the family is able to successfully own a home and build wealth, while the program is able to investment in the home permanently to help family after family. WHAT DO THEY ACCOMPLISH? PAH Programs: 1. Increase access to successful homeownership among lower income and minority families. 2. Buffer the adverse impacts of gentrification by providing a stock of housing that remains affordable. 3. Stabilize neighborhoods by increasing owner occupancy, promoting residential stability, preventing foreclosures, and maintaining homes in good condition. % of Mortgages that are 90+ Days Delinquent or in Foreclosure Proceedings (Thaden 2011) 1.98% 6.30% 9.67% 1.62% 1.30% 8.57% Loans on Permanently Affordable Homes Loans on Market-rate Homes info@cltnetwork.org
12 ADEQUATELY FUND HUD & THE HOME AND CDBG PROGRAMS With rising housing values and o committed to the ongoing subsidization of affordable rental units, HUD requires substantially more funding to make an impact on the growing housing needs across the country. HUD must also efficiently use its funds beyond rental subsidy programs. Unlike other homeownership programs, PAH programs only require a one-time public investment in order to create a home that remains affordable to serve family after family with modest incomes. s a self-sustaining model. That s why the Bipartisan Policy Center recently released a policy report urging the federal government to provide greater support to PAH programs 1. Above and beyond the prudent use of public funding, helping families become successful homeowners reduces public costs on health care, stimulates the economy through job creation, and results in families building wealth, obtaining better jobs, and improving children educational attainment 2. OUR ISSUE HOME and CDBG programs are the dominant federal sources to create permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for families. Both programs have experienced major cuts in recent years. In fact, the HOME program has been reduced by 51% and CDBG by 33% since the height of the recession in HOME CDBG FY billion 4.45 billion FY million 3 billion 1.06 billion 2.8 billion OUR ASKS Please provide sufficient THUD appropriations to fulfill the HOME program and maintain CDBG funding at current levels. 1 Lubell, Jeffrey.

HOMEOWNER STORY: Leslie Coburn A few years ago, Leslie was working as an Activities Specialist in a retirement community in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, commuting an hour every day from Granville County. However, the commute meant she had little time to do much beyond drive, work, and sleep. So after some searching, she was able to find an affordable place to rent near work. But over the next three years as the area developed, her rent increased significantly. Fortunately, a co-worker introduced Leslie to Community Home Trust, a community land trust in Chapel Hill. Community Home Trust was able to prepare Leslie to become a homeowner and provide a home she could afford to purchase due to the HOME program. Today, Leslie has been promoted at work and is thriving. With a home close to work, she has the time and energy to be active within her community in Chapel Hill. And since she is living affordably and building wealth from owning a home, she is now able to financially prepare for her own retirement info@cltnetwork.org
13 AMBASSADOR CHEAT SHEET Meetings on Removing barriers to FUNDING for CLTs and PAH Not only do we want to make sure that affordable housing is adequately funded, we want to make sure that CLTs and PAH programs are eligible to apply for and use federal funding. Background Because of the way that CLTs make homes permanently affordable, they sometimes run into administrative issues that make accessing typical sources of affordable housing funding either challenging or impossible. Recently, HUD issued new rules for the HOME Program that made CLTs ineligible for funding because of the way that they structure fees. This is significant since HOME funding has been one of the most critical sources of funding for CLTs. This is especially frustrating because CLTs and PAH programs are one of the best stewards of public funds. They only require a one-time public investment in order to create a home that remains affordable to serve family after family with modest incomes. It s a self-sustaining model. On the Hill We ll be meeting with members of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance as well as the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation and Community Development. These committees oversee the administration and management of HUD programs like HOME and CDBG. For 2015, our specific ask is to: 1. Contact HUD and urge leadership and staff to address barriers for CLTs to utilize the HOME program as soon as possible. Your Story This is your FUNDING Story. The specific information that you want to impart is: 1. Being a CLT homeowner has had a positive impact on your life; 2. But for federal funding programs like HOME, you would not be able to own your home; and 3. You want to make sure that other individuals and families have similar opportunities to become homeowners.

15 HUD SHOULD SUPPORT PAH PROGRAMS O is committed to the ongoing subsidization of affordable rental programs; as a result, the agency must be efficient in the use of its remaining dollars.

OUR ISSUE (CLTs) in its definition of has not amended other rules so that CLTs can use HOME funds (see our letter submitted to HUD on February 15, 2015). The Network has been asking HUD to address these issues for over a year. HUD needs to update and modify HOME program rules to allow permanently affordable homes to be created and maintained by CLTs. OUR ASK Please contact HUD and urge leadership and staff to address the barriers for CLTs to utilize the HOME program. 1 Lubell, Jeffrey. (December, 2014).

16 AMBASSADOR CHEAT SHEET Meetings on Increasing Access to Mortgage Financing for CLT Homebuyers We want, at minimum, every CLT homebuyer to have access to a safe and secure first mortgage product. Even better, we d like CLT homebuyers to have a variety of mortgage products from which to choose! Background Even though homeowners apply for mortgages at a private bank, the federal government is very active in shaping what kinds of mortgages are available to whom and at what rate. One way that they do this is by providing mortgage insurance to borrowers that banks would otherwise view to be too risky. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the largest insurer of mortgages in the world, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by approved lenders throughout the US but it will not insure mortgages on CLT properties. This means that CLT homeowners are unable to access the most widely available mortgage products. Another way that the federal government incentivizes particular lending practices is through the secondary market. In this case, Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac tell banks that if they create a mortgage product that meets particular eligibility criteria, the GSE will purchase that mortgage from the bank. Banks like this because they do not need to hold the risk of a long-term investment like a mortgage and, with the cash from the sale, can turn around and make more loans. But, right now, CLT homebuyers don t have great access to the secondary market. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees the GSEs, is considering a duty to serve rule that would require GSEs to serve low- and moderate-income homebuyers in manufactured housing, affordable housing preservation and rural markets. This is part of a larger effort to pass housing finance reform that would address many of the structural problems on the secondary market that led to the foreclosure crisis. Our lack to mortgage products is especially troubling given that CLTs serve lower income families than most affordable homeownership programs, but yet, our delinquency and foreclosure rates are almost 10 times less than homeowners across all incomes in the conventional market. We offer incredibly low-risk business opportunities for the housing finance industry. On the Hill We ll be meeting with members of the House Financial Services Committee Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises and the Senate Banking Housing & Urban Affairs Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection. These committees oversee the GSEs and the government s role in banking. For 2015, our specific asks are to: 1. Please support effective credit for the GSEs to improve access to credit for buyers of permanently affordable homes in the duty to serve rule. In the rule, the term shared equity homeownership programs will be used to refer to us. Your Story This is your FINANCING Story. The specific information that you want to impart is: 1. Being a CLT homeowner has had a positive impact on your life; 2. While you obtained a mortgage, you had to jump through extra hurdles because CLTs are not eligible for many mainstream mortgage products; and 3. You want to make sure that other CLT homeowners have access to mortgage financing.
