Eligibility Criteria
The following provides a summary of the eligibility requirements for the Multifamily Housing Program. The eligibility criteria
listed in this section contains references to Items which must be submitted with the MHP application. Please refer to the
Instructions section of this application for specific details on the documentation required in each Item number.
Proposed projects are eligible only if:
1. Other development funding sources are insufficient to cover project development costs. (See Item C2,
Worksheet to Determine Maximum Allowable Loan Amount ).
2. At the time of the application due date, the construction or rehabilitation work has not commenced, except for
emergency repairs to existing structures required to eliminate hazards or threats to health and safety (MHP
Section 7302(a)(3)).
Does the Project meet these conditions? YES NO
** If you answer NO to this question please STOP, your project's ineligible. If you answer YES please continue.
3. The Application and Attachments are complete (MHP Sections 7318 and 7320(a)(4)) . Applicants must complete
and submit the Universal Application and Multifamily Housing Program-Specific Checklist (Item A1).
4. The project site is free from severe adverse environmental conditions, such as the presence of toxic waste that is
economically infeasible to remove (MHP Section 7320(a)(6)) . Attach all available Phase I or II Environmental Site
Assessment Reports with any follow-up analysis (e.g., asbestos or lead based paint analysis or information on
mitigation completed).
5. In relation to the needs of the project tenants, the project site is reasonably accessible to public transportation,
shopping, medical services, recreation, schools, and employment (MHP Section 7320(a)(7)) . (Document in Item
B6).
6. The number of Assisted Units shall equal the number of Restricted Units to the extent allowed by the requirements
of Article XXXIV of the California Constitution (Health and Safety Code Section 37000). (Document in Item B7
Evidence of Article XXXIV of the State Constitution compliance or its inapplicability).
7. Proposed projects involving new construction and requiring the demolition of existing residential Units are eligible
only if the number of bedrooms in the new Project is at least equal to the total number of bedrooms in the
demolished structures.
NOTE: The new Units may exist on separate parcels provided all parcels are part of the same rental housing
development (with common ownership, financing and management). In order to receive HCD approval as a
scattered site project, all sites in the project must be subject to similar tenant selection procedures, rent
restrictions, special needs groups to be served, and services to be provided. The sites will usually be contiguous
or in a close proximity to one another.
Relocation Eligibility Requirements – UMR Section 8302 and MHP Section 7315:
8. Prior to funding, the sponsor will be required to comply with the relocation requirements set forth in MHP Section
7315 .
9. Will the project require tenants to vacate their units for any period of time; result in a rent increase; reduce the
number of units; or otherwise trigger federal or state relocation requirements? YES NO
(If yes, attach a copy of the Relocation Plan in Attachment 4 of the Universal Application, if available or a
Preliminary Relocation Plan and budget which identifies the number of units affected and sources of funds for
relocation).
Page 12
MHP-Attachments Item A2
Housing Development Experience – MHP Section 7303(c):
10. Threshold Eligibility: In order to be eligible for MHP funding, a Project Sponsor* must demonstrate experience
relevant to developing and owning one affordable rental housing project. For the purpose of determining eligibility,
developing and owning a small shared housing project may be counted. (Please note, however, Project
Sponsors must demonstrate experience with projects containing five or more units to score points in Item D3 and
to meet supportive housing requirements in Item B9. Bedrooms in a single-family house or apartment do not
count as units of housing for these purposes.)
Primary Method of Demonstrating Threshold Eligibility A Project Sponsor can demonstrate experience
based on organizational or staff experience as follows:
Project Sponsor, or an affiliated entity or partner, has successfully developed and owned an affordable rental
housing project. An affiliated entity of the Project Sponsor is defined for these purposes as an entity that is under
common control with the Project Sponsor.
Staff or principal employed by Project Sponsor, or an affiliated entity or partner, that has successfully developed
and owned an affordable rental housing project. In order for this experience to qualify, the staff or principal must
be the project manager and have comprehensive development responsibilities for the proposed Project.
(Experience of Board members of the Project Sponsor or an affiliated entity or partner does not qualify under this
provision unless they are also staff or principals as defined above.)
Project Sponsors using the Primary Method for Demonstrating Threshold Eligibility should complete the table
below:
Qualifying Entity:
Qualifying Entity Responsible
Subsidy Source
Project Name and for Comprehensive Qualified Entity Owned Project at
(Including Tax
Address Development Responsibilities Completion Date (Indicate yes/no)
Credits)
of Project (Indicate yes/no)
*"Sponsor" means the legal entity or combination of legal entities with continuing control of the Rental Housing
Development. Where the borrowing entity is or will be organized as a limited partnership, Sponsor includes the
general partner or general partners who have effective control over the operation of the partnership, or, if the
general partner is controlled by another entity, the controlling entity. Sponsor does not include the seller of the
property to be developed as the Project, unless the seller will retain control of the Project for the period of time
necessary to ensure Project feasibility as determined by the Department.
Alternative Method of Demonstrating Threshold Eligibility
Special Needs Population Project Sponsors may establish threshold eligibility using the Primary Method
described above or this Alternative Method. To qualify for the Alternative Method, at least 70% of the Project Units
must be reserved for Special Needs Populations (and the Project must have met threshold requirements that
qualify it as a Special Needs Population Project).
The Alternative Method of Demonstrating Threshold Eligibility is designed to accommodate the differing ways
Special Needs Population projects are sometimes developed and owned. It allows Project Sponsors to submit
different projects for development experience and ownership experience. It also allows the Project Sponsor to
substitute the development experience of a contracted developer or development consultant for its own and
expands the criteria for ownership by including "operation" experience as a replacement for ownership. (For these
purposes, operation means controlling a property under a long-term lease or other arrangement that involves all
the responsibilities commensurate with ownership.)
Page 13
MHP-Attachments Item A2
Under this method of demonstrating threshold eligibility, the Project Sponsor may qualify for development
experience by contracting with a developer or development consultant , provided that the Project Sponsor
has contracted with the developer or development consultant for comprehensive development services.
Comprehensive development services include: financial packaging, selection of other consultants, selection of the
constructions contract and property management agent, oversight of architectural design, construction
management, and other major aspects of the development process.
Under this Alternative Method, the Project Sponsor may substitute operation experience for ownership experience,
as long as the roles and responsibilities of the Project Sponsor in the projects submitted for such experience is
commensurate with the ownership role and responsibilities in the proposed Project.
The Project Sponsor may qualify for ownership/operation experience based on the Sponsor’s own experience
or that of its affiliated entities and partners (as defined above in Primary Method of Demonstrating Threshold
Eligibility.) The Sponsor also may qualify for ownership/operation experience based on the experience of Staff or
principals employed by the Project Sponsor or an affiliated entity or partner, as long as the staff or principal will be
the project manager and have comprehensive development responsibilities for the proposed Project. (The
experience of Board members of the Project Sponsor or an affiliated entity does not qualify under this provision
unless they are also staff or principals as defined above.)
Project Sponsors using the Alternative Method for demonstrating Threshold Eligibility should complete the tables
below:
Development Experience:
List one affordable rental housing project completed by the developer or development consultant with whom
the Project Sponsor has a comprehensive development services contract and attach a signed copy of the
contract.
Contracted Developer/Development Consultant:
Qualifying Entity Responsible
Project Name and for Comprehensive Qualified Entity Owned Project at

Ownership/Operation Experience
List one affordable rental housing project that the Project Sponsor, or Affiliate of the Project Sponsor,
currently owns or operates (i.e., involving all responsibilities commensurate with ownership). When substituting
operation for ownership experience, attach: (1) a narrative describing specific roles and responsibilities of the
sponsor and how they are commensurate with ownership roles and responsibilities; and (2) a copy of the long-
term lease under which the project is operated.
Qualifying Entity:

Section 3. Tenant Selection Narrative:
Please attach a narrative describing your tenant selection process, organized into the titled sections as shown below. The tenant
selection criteria must conclusively document that occupancy of the project will be limited to eligible households as defined in the
MHP regulations.
1) Threshold Eligibility Criteria:
Describe tenant eligibility criteria relating to income (%SMI/AMI) and any other special needs. This should include the specific
MHP eligibility criteria for the special needs units.
2) Other Eligibility Criteria:
Describe eligibility criteria other than those indicated in subsection (1) above, i.e., information needed to determine if applicant
can comply with terms of a lease. (Please note: Selection criteria designed to assess anything other than the ability to comply
with the terms of a lease generally run afoul of Fair Housing laws designed to protect equal access to housing for people with
disabilities. Please see Between the Lines, A question and Answer Guide on Legal Issues in Supportive Housing , Chapter 5)1
3) Marketing/Outreach:
Describe marketing/outreach efforts to publicize units.
4) Referral Sources:
For each target population, list agencies/organizations from which you expect to receive tenant referrals to your project.
5) Application Process:
Describe the tenancy application process and waiting list protocol. (Please note that, other than ascertaining specific eligibility
for special needs units, it is generally not acceptable to have a different application and screening process for special needs
applicants as that used for all other tenants. It is permissible to make services assistance available to special needs tenants in
the interview process if an interview is used for all potential tenants, but not to ask different questions or follow a different
process).
6) Tenant Screening:
Describe tenant screening process, including who conducts screening and where, when, and how screening is conducted. Also,
indicate how you will obtain third-party verification of tenant threshold eligibility, i.e., income, homeless/at-risk, disability status.
Note: If your project will be serving people who are disabled due to long-term chronic health conditions, (i.e., eligibility for PACE,
MSSP, or 20 hours of IMSS personal care, etc.), third party verification must be provided by the agency responsible for
determining eligibility for the benefit.
7) Reasonable accomodation in tenant selection process:
Describe your reasonable accommodation policies and protocols as they relate to targeting and tenant selection, including how
reasonable accomodation is considered in the consideration of any eligibility criteria, such as past performance as a tenant,
which may have been affected by an applicant's disability.

Note: The Department may condition funding on the elimination of restrictions that it believes to be impermissible, or reject an
application where it determines that compliance with applicable law is not feasible. A useful resource on the subject of legal
issues in Supportive Housing is Between The Lines, A Question and Answer Guide on Legal Issues in Supportive Housing ,
published by the Corporation for Supportive Housing. The document is available online at www.csh.org.pub.html.

MHP-Attachments SN Item B9 Part 1 - 2 Sec 3
Part 2. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PLAN
Special Needs Population projects shall be designed to provide affordable housing with access to an array of services and supports
for individuals whose ability to live independently would be improved by the availability of support services. Applications for Special
Needs Population projects must demonstrate that the project is linked to services that assist the tenant to: retain the housing;
improve his or her health; and maximize his or her ability to live and where possible, work in the community.
The Department expects that projects applying for Special Needs Population project funding consideration will provide housing that
incorporates the following as characteristics of a Special Needs Population project: (1) it is independent housing in which each tenant
holds a lease or rental agreement in his or her own name, is responsible for paying his or her own rent, (2) has his or her own room
or apartment; (3) tenant may stay as long as her or she pays his or her share of rent and complies with the terms of his or her lease;
(4) it is tenancy housing, complying with applicable state and federal laws governing the landlord-tenant relationship; (5) participation
in services or any type of services is not required as a condition of tenancy.
Pursuant to UMR Section 8301(o) , residential treatment programs and licensed facilities that provide health care services may not be
eligible for funding. Board and care facilities are not generally considered to be service-enriched housing since these facilities do not
typically offer the level of services required to sustain the tenancy of the Special Needs Populations targeted under the MHP.
Section 1. Service Plan Summary:
Provide a short narrative summary of your service plan, including a description of the primary service needs of the target populations,
identification of the lead service provider and other significant service partners, a description of the key services each will provided
and how the project will be staffed. Be sure to demonstrate that the essential service needs of your target population will be met
(e.g., health services for people with chronic health conditions; mental health services for people with mental illness). Industry
practice indicates that Special Needs Population generally require need assessment and service coordination in order to maintain the
housing and live as independently as possible. If your Services Plan differs from this industry practice, please provide a narrative
explanation. Key services should be referred to using the same terms (i.e., case management, employment services, etc.) as used
in PART 2, SECTION 4. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES CHART, and staff should be listed using the same titles as uned in ITEM B9,
PART 2, SECTION 5a. STAFFING STRUCTURE, and in PART 3. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES BUDGET. Please limit your response
to two pages.
Section 2. Characteristics of Housing for Special Needs Populations:
Section 7341 of the Supportive Housing Regulations provides a definition of supportive housing that includes the following
characteristics. Please confirm compliance by checking all the characteristics that apply to the Special Needs Population. Please
conform compliance by checking all of the characteristics that apply to the Special Needs Population units in your project.
Tenant holds a lease in his/her name and is responsible for paying rent.
Tenant has his/her own room or apartment and is individually responsible for arranging any shared tenancy.
Tenant may stay as long as he/she pays his/her share of the rent and complies with the terms of his/her lease.
Unit is subject to applicable state and federal landlord tenant laws.
Tenant's participation in services or any particular service shall not be required as a condition of tenancy.
Typically, all the characteristics listed above must be present in order for the project to be eligible for funding. However,
please explain mitigating circumstances for any missing characteristic.
Section 3. Verification from Appropriate Public or Non-profit Funding Agency:
All applications shall include a verification from an appropriate funding entity (either public or non-profit) knowledgeable about
the supportive service needs of the targeted population, indicating that the proposed services are appropriate to meet the needs
of the targeted population(s). The verification shall endorse the primary service provider as a known provider of support services to
the target population the sponsor is proposing to serve. The project Sponsor and/or Service Provider are not eligible to provide
the Funding Agency Verification.
Please use the attached Supportive Services Verification from the Appropriate Public or Non-Profit Agency Form. Please submit one
verification for each target population checked in Part 1, Section 2. If appropriate, a single funder may provide a verification for
multiple populations (i.e. a County Department of Health Services could provide a verification for a project serving individuals with
HIV/AIDS, Chronic Substance Abuse and Other Chronic Health Conditions). Please be sure to indicate on the verification form
the target populations to which each verification applies.

Part 4. PROJECT SPONSOR AND SERVICE PROVIDER EXPERIENCE
Section 1. Project Sponsor Experience Table: In order to meet the Sponsor experience requirement for a
Special Needs Population Project, the Project Sponsor must document a minimum of 24 months experience in the
ownership or operation (including long-term leasing) of at least one special needs housing project of at least five or
more dwelling units to qualify as a rental housing development. (Note: bedrooms in a single-family house or
apartment do not count as units of housing for demonstrating project sponsor experience).
In order to establish Sponsor experience eligibility, complete the table containing the information required below.
Please note: meeting this requirement establishes only that the Project Sponsor qualifies as a Special Needs
Population Project Sponsor. There are additional requirements related to scoring. Please refer to Item D3 for an
explanation of scoring related to Development and Ownership Experience of the Project Sponsor, and complete all
relevant exhibits in that Section.

ITEM B9, PART 2, SECTION 5. SERVICE DELIVERY
Section 5a: Staffing Structure. List all staff positions which will provide services to the tenants of the Special Needs Population Project units. Be
sure to include not only staff positions under the project sponsor or primary service provider, but also any staff positions under partnering
organizations who have committed time to the project. For each position, list the title, a brief description of the role and duties, the full-time
equivalent (FTE), the organization under which the position resides, and the location of the position (on-site or off-site). At the bottom of the FTE
column, please be sure to provide a calculation of the total number of project staff. Do not include staff which serve non-Special Needs Units. If a
staff position serves both tenants in Special Needs Units and non-Special Needs Units, include only that portion (i.e., % FTE) of the staff position
dedicated to Special Needs Units.
All staff positions listed here must be reflected in the Supportive Services Budget (Part 3, Section 1) and should have the same titles as in the
Services Plan Summary and the same FTE's as in the budget.
Please note: If the cost of an On-Site Supportive Services Coordinator is included as part of the project’s Operating Budget, that position

Section 5b. Staffing Levels. No hard and fast industry standards exist for supportive service
staffing levels. However, industry practice indicates a range of 10 to 15 tenant households per
staff person for a project serving a target population likely to need intensive services (i.e.
homeless, dually-diagnosed individuals). A project serving a less service-intensive target
population could be staffed by a range of 15 to 25 tenant households per staff person.
Indicate the staffing level for your project by completing the calculation below. If your staffing
level, as calculated below, differs from these industry practices, provide a narrative
explanation. The project must meet or address the industry standards.
a. Total Special Needs Population Project Units (Unit Calculation Table - Part 1, Section 1f) 0

If the project serves multiple Special Needs households within individual units, also indicate the
staffing level per household by completing the calculation below.

ITEM B9, PART 2, SECTION 6. TENANT ENGAGEMENT
Industry practice indicates that services to tenants in supportive housing should be voluntary.
That is, participation in services is not a requirement of tenancy. In order to elicit tenant
participation in services, successful service providers develop and implement plans for tenant
engagement. This should include strategies to make services attractive to reluctant tenants, and
efforts to ensure that services are available to assist tenants who may be in danger of losing their
housing.
Provide a narrative description of how you will engage tenants in services during the tenancy in
your project. NOTE: the tenant engagement plan is distinct from your marketing and outreach
efforts for attracting applicants to the project, as described in the Tenant Selection Narrative.

Item D3 Scoring Sheet - Instructions
DEVELOPMENT AND OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE
OF THE PROJECT SPONSOR
MHP Section 7320(b)(3) - 20 Points Maximum
Primary Scoring Method - May be utilized by all Project Sponsors
Applications will be scored based on the number of affordable rental housing developments (including
tax credit projects) that the Project Sponsor has developed and completed ("completed projects") in the
five years preceding the application due date.
Four points are awarded for each qualified completed project, up to a maximum of 20 points.
To be counted towards points under this Primary Scoring Method, completed projects must contain ten or
more units, with one exception. When the proposed project contains less than fifteen units and at least
70% of the total units in the proposed project are reserved for Special Needs Populations (and the
Project has met threshold requirements that qualify it as a Special Needs Population Project), a
completed project may have five units. For scoring purposes, units must be apartments or SROs;
bedrooms within single-family houses and apartments will not count as units.
Qualified completed projects will count for experience points if:
1) The Project Sponsor or its affiliate (an entity under common control with the Project Sponsor) was
the sole developer; or
2) The Project Sponsor or its affiliate developed the project in partnership with another entity, provided
that the Project Sponsor or its affiliate:
a) effectively controlled most key aspects of the development process, as evidenced by
partnership agreement and other indicators of control as determined by the Department.
b) had sufficient staff to manage the development process for all of the developments that it was
involved with during the development period; and
c) received the majority share of the developer fee for the project; or
3) They were developed by staff currently employed by the Project Sponsor or its affiliate (or a
principal of the Project Sponsor or its affiliate), provided that this staff:
a) had primary responsibility for managing the entire development process for the completed
project; and
b) will serve as the project manager for the Project (or directly supervise the project manager) with
primary responsibility for managing the development process.
Experience of board members will not be considered, unless they are also staff or principals.
Where the Project Sponsor is a partnership, only the experience of one entity will be considered. This
entity must have a controlling interest in the partnership, primary responsibility for development activities,
a controlling and continuing role in long-term operations, and sufficient qualified staff to carry out these
roles. It must also receive the majority share of the developer fee for the Project, unless all other partners
(except for the investor limited partner) have developed and completed three affordable housing
developments in the past five years. This same principle will be applied to limited liability companies as
well.
The Department will evaluate all sponsors, including the roles of any general partner(s) in a
limited partnership, to determine if the Sponsor’s roles and responsibilities and benefits in the
project development and operations are commensurate with activities normally undertaken or
controlled by project developers and owners. The Sponsor will be reviewed to determine if
adequate staffing levels exist to undertake and complete the project. This criteria will be applied
in evaluating Sponsor experience for the purpose of awarding points.
Alternative Scoring Method - For Special Needs Population Project Sponsors ONLY
Special Needs Population Project Sponsors may establish experience using the Primary Scoring
Method described above or this Alternative Scoring Method. To qualify for the Alternative Scoring
Method, at least 70% of the Project Units must be reserved for Special Needs Populations (and the
Project must have met threshold requirements that qualify it as a Special Needs Population Project).
Page 49
MHP-Attachments Item D3 Instructions
The Alternative Scoring Method is designed to accommodate the differing ways Special Needs
Population projects are sometimes developed and owned. It allows Project Sponsors to submit different
projects for development experience and ownership experience. It also allows the Project Sponsor to
substitute the development experience of a contracted developer or development consultant for its own
and expands the criteria for ownership by including "operation" experience as a replacement for
ownership. (For these purposes, operation means controlling a property under a long-term lease or other
arrangement that involves all the responsibilities commensurate with ownership.)
Applications under this Alternative Scoring Method will be scored based on both the number of qualified
projects developed and completed in the five years preceding the application due date, and those
currently owned or operated. Four points are awarded for each project or pair of projects that
demonstrate development and ownership or operation experience, up to a maximum of twenty points. For
example, if a Project Sponsor or affiliated entity documents five projects demonstrating development
experience and four projects demonstrating qualified operating experience (and includes the required
supporting documentation), the Project would receive 16 points in this scoring category.
To be counted towards points under this Alternative Scoring Method, completed projects must contain ten
or more units, with one exception. When the proposed project contains less than fifteen units and
at least 70% of the total units in the proposed project are reserved for Special Needs Populations
(and the Project has met threshold requirements that qualify it as a Special Needs Population
Project), a completed project may have five units. For scoring purposes, bedrooms in a single-family
house or apartment do not count as units of housing.
As discussed above, under this method of scoring, the Project Sponsor may qualify for development
experience by contracting with a developer or development consultant, provided that the Project
Sponsor has contracted with the developer or development consultant for comprehensive
development services. Comprehensive development services include: financial packaging, selection of
other consultants, selection of the construction contractor and property management agent, oversight of
architectural design, construction management, and other major aspects of the development process.
Under this Alternative Scoring Method, the Project Sponsor may substitute operation experience for
ownership experience, as long as the roles and responsibilities of the Project Sponsor in the projects
submitted for such experience is commensurate with the ownership role and responsibilities in the
proposed Project.
The Project Sponsor may qualify for ownership/operation experience based on the Sponsor’s own
experience or that of its affiliated entities and partners (as defined above in Primary Scoring Method.) It
also may qualify for ownership/operation experience based on the experience of Staff or principals
employed by the Project Sponsor or an affiliated entity or partner, as long as the staff or principal will be
the project manager and have comprehensive development responsibilities for the proposed Project. (The
experience of Board members of the Project Sponsor or an affiliated entity does not qualify under this
provision unless they are also staff or principals as defined above.)
Instructions:
All Project Sponsors must complete the UA FORM XX-PREVIOUS PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATE
(Attachment 8 of the Universal Application).
Project Sponsors establishing experience based on the Primary Scoring Method should complete
Attachment 1. Project Sponsors establishing experience based on the Alternative Scoring Method
should complete Attachment 2a and include supporting documentation where required (i.e., copy of the

LEVERAGE OF OTHER FUNDS
MHP Section 7320(b)(5) - 20 Points Maximum
Applications will be scored based on the amount of non-MHP funds for permanent funding of the
development costs attributable to the restricted units, as a percentage of the requested amount of MHP
funds. Deferred developer fees will not be counted as leveraged funds. Land donations will be
counted as leveraged funds where the value is established with a current appraisal.
One half point will be awarded for every full 5 percentage point increment above 100%. Rural projects
will be awarded one half point for every full 5 percentage point increment above 50%.
For example, a non-rural project: where other funds are equal to 100% of requested MHP funds will
receive zero (0) points; where other funds equal 150% will receive 5 points; where other funds equal
200% will receive 10 points; where other funds equal 250% will receive 15 points; and where other
funds equal 300% will receive the maximum 20 points.
