Opportunity Pointe HOME Loans

At a glance

  • What: Two companion ordinances, each authorizing up to $1,200,000.00 of federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds ($200,000.00 from the 2023 grant and $1,000,000.00 from the 2024 grant, from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) and authorizing the Director of the Department of Development to execute a commitment letter, loan agreement, promissory note, mortgage and restrictive covenant.
    • 1189-2026: with Opportunity Pointe I Limited Partnership, for the Opportunity Pointe I project.
    • 1191-2026: with Opportunity Pointe II Limited Partnership; the title as printed in the minutes again says "Opportunity Pointe I project," which looks like a typographical carry-over.
  • Votes (5/11/2026): each moved by Ross, seconded by Wyche; approved 8-0 (Barroso De Padilla absent). Both came from the Housing, Homelessness, and Building committee (Ross, chair).
  • Where it stands: approved. The minutes give no unit counts or site details.
