These are great examples of a property likely to receive approval due to the fire damage, age, interior conditions, and location next to a noisy overpass.
This probable candidate has extensive needs to be brought back to a safe and healthy living environment for residents.
Demo/Dispo is for more than just scattered sites or smaller buildings. Façade and structural issues can also create significant needs beyond the PHA budget. Elevator buildings have different thresholds compared to garden-style buildings. Understanding the Total Development Cost differences is a key piece of the Physical Needs Assessment.
To better visualize the SAC process, we have included an outline of possible outcomes and reports our team can produce based on the likelihood of your property's qualification.
Here is another example of a borderline property we helped get approval for. Building exteriors, as well as functional use inside the units, are part of our evaluation. Not all properties will qualify based on their age or long-term needs.
What Are The Benefits Of The Demolition And Disposition Process?
- PHAs can remove troubled, budget-straining properties from their portfolio that strain their budget
- Residents will receive Tenant Protection Vouchers (TPVs)
- Agencies can relocate residents to healthier living environments
- The likelihood of land use for redevelopment is improved, creating investible communities
How Does The SAC Process Work?
1. We'll start the discussion to understand the current condition of your property. Our SAC subject matter experts will lead the conversation, focusing on your Physical Needs Assessment and providing consultation.
2. After learning more about your goals, general property conditions, and experience with the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and the Special Applications Center (SAC) process, we will conduct your inspection.
3. After the inspection, our team will determine if your property will likely qualify. If so, we will produce our SAC Physical Needs Assessment and move forward with the application. Unfortunately, not all properties will qualify. We understand that the application is intimidating and expensive. If your property does not qualify, we can produce a report usable for other RAD, SAC Blends, or Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) applications.
