2011‐2012 San Bernardino County Grand Jury Final Report CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Grand Jury received a complaint regarding the sale of rehabilitated homes under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) administered by the City of San Bernardino. A federal grant for the NSP was congressionally appropriated under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which authorized $8,408,558 to be spent over a 48-month period ending in March 2013. Eligible projects under the grant are rehabilitation of single-family residences for resale, demolition of uninhabitable properties, and rehabilitation of multi-family units. A nonprofit corporation, Affordable Housing Solutions, was formed to implement housing projects for the City of San Bernardino’s Economic Development Agency (Agency), which is the office of primary responsibility for administration and management of the NSP funds. This report is focused on the procedures the Agency employed in NSP rehabilitation of single family residences (SFR) and their resale. As an initial step, the Agency prepared and released a Request for Proposal to identify qualified construction contractors/developers and real estate agents to rehabilitate the properties. These entities were designated as intermediaries. Fifteen applications were submitted and six were selected and approved by the City Council. Through Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the specific requirements for process of the rehabilitation and resale were detailed. Each Intermediary is responsible for selecting its vendors, employees (laborers) and real estate agents. The Agency is responsible for monitoring the processes of construction and resale. The properties are selected and purchased by the Agency, the intermediaries provide quotes to complete the rehabilitation project, and the Agency selects the Intermediary, and negotiates final costs. The intermediaries are responsible for the entire rehabilitation process and security of properties through the resale. Upon project completion, the Agency inspects and approves construction quality and compliance with standards for reimbursement/payment. An independent appraisal is requested by the Agency and the listing and sale price is based upon the fair market value with or without total rehabilitation costs, whichever is less. The real estate agent is to comply with Affirmative Marketing Requirements, as detailed in the MOU. Also, the real estate agent must recruit and refer to the Agency, qualified and eligible buyers at or below 120% of the local area median income.
