Loan at a Glance:
PCG worked with Community Vision to provide a $825,750 pari passu participation in a $3,303,000 acquisition loan to provide housing opportunities to individuals who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.
In 2017, Community Vision and PCG partnered to provide a $3,303,000 loan to Allied Housing to purchase a 24-unit building in the Fruitvale area of Oakland and secure it as permanent affordable supportive housing. A three-year term was given for the acquisition loan to enable the borrower time to secure public financing sources to rehabilitate the building. In 2020, PCG and Community Vision extended this loan to allow for completion of the project and permanent conversion of all acquisition and construction financing.
Project Summary:
With one unit reserved for the resident manager, 23 of the 24 building units will be restricted to tenants earning between 20% and 60% of AMI, with 12 units reserved for people that have experienced homelessness. The area is experiencing a 35% poverty rate, an 18.7% unemployment rate, and a percent of 33% AMI. Additionally, there is strong local support for affordable housing, including recently approved initiatives in Alameda County and the city of Oakland.
