Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a grant contract to construct affordable housing between the Metropolitan Housing Trust Fund and Woodbine Community Organization, Inc.
The original grant contract, as previously approved by the Council through Resolution No. RS2024-709, allocated $3,800,000 to Arts and Business Council for the construction of 232 Barnes Fund homes at 0 Curtis and 3720 Clarksville Pike.
The proposed amendment would replace a Barnes Fund Housing Trust draw schedule in the original grant contract. The new schedule would allow draws as follows:
• 12.5 percent of the grant upon receipt of a building permit and proof of a builder’s risk insurance with Metro Nashville listed as a lien holder;
• 22 percent of the grant upon the documentation of predevelopment costs;
• 20 percent of the grant upon completion of footing, framing, and foundation;
• 20 percent of the grant upon the rough-in, inspection, and passage by the Department of Codes Administration, and the separate completion of roofing;
• 13 percent of the grant upon the installation of doors, cabinets, countertops, drywall, and trim; and
• 12.5 percent upon the receipt of a final use and occupancy letter from the Department of Codes Administration.
