Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: 1414 Congress 57 unitsThis property is owned and operated by Houston Area Community Development Corporation (HACDC). In 2002, HACDC became an affiliate of New Hope Housing, when the original board of directors passed governance to NHHI. The building is a moderate rehabilitation and modification of the Powell Hotel, which was established in 1925. The original renovation of the Congress property was completed in 1997 and received the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance Good Brick Award. In 2012, the U.S. Commerce Association honored 1414 Congress with the Best of Local Business Award, Individual & Family Services. At the end of October 2007, this property was temporarily closed for an intensive renovation and reopened in October 2010 to house the chronic homeless with disabilities. The original rehabilitation of the property performed before NHHI assumed governance was undercapitalized, and the contractor declared bankruptcy shortly after the original renovation was completed. Thus, the structure required substantial renovation and structural upgrades. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Brays Crossing 149 unitsThe City of Houston approached New Hope to develop Brays Crossing what was once the dilapidated HouTex Inn. In late 2007, FDI-Houston SRO, Ltd. purchased property located at 6311 Gulf Freeway, I-45 at the Griggs Road exit. NHH at Brays Crossing, LLC is the general partner of FDI-Houston SRO, Ltd. New Hope Housing, Inc. is the developer of the Brays Crossing project that now offers efficiency apartment housing for individuals with low incomes. It also serves as a foundation for a large public art display that is integral to the building design. This site was financed with a combination of Housing Tax Credits, allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and funds from the City of Houston, as well as private charitable contributors, including the Houston Endowment Inc., The Meadows Foundation, and the United Way of Greater Houston. The property opened in February 2010. Brays Crossing has received numerous awards including: 2011 ULI Award for Excellence - North and South America; 2011 ULI-Houston Development of Distinction Award; two national Builders Choice Design & Planning Awards issued by the National Association of Homebuilders; two Houston Business Journal Landmark Awards; an AIA-Houston Design Award; and, a 2010 Mayors Proud Partner Award. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: 2424 Sakowitz 166 units Sakowitz is the first LEED certified affordable housing in the State of Texas, and it is also Houstons first green multifamily housing development. Situated in Greater Fifth Ward/Denver Harbor, the Sakowitz development opened in October 2010. This site was financed with a combination of Housing Tax Credits, allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and funds from the City of Houston, as well as private charitable contributors, including the Houston Endowment Inc., The Brown Foundation, The Fondren Foundation and other foundations and corporations. Sakowitz has also received several distinguished awards. The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) honored Sakowitz with an Award of Excellence, one of four affordable housing properties recognized nationally. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) named New Hope Housing the 2011 LEED for Homes Outstanding Affordable Developer, honoring the development of 2424 Sakowitz, which is LEED platinum. Additionally, Sakowitz won a 2011 Houston Business Journal Landmark Award. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: 4415 Perry 160 unitsNew Hope opened 4415 Perry in late October 2012. As New Hopes third tax credit development, Perry is financed through a public/private partnership that leverages tax credit investments with funds from the City of Houston as well as private charitable donors, including the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, JPMorgan Chase Foundation, and other foundations and corporations. The Perry project is a 160-unit SRO apartment complex located south of the University of Houston on the north line of Perry Street between Foster and Eastwood Streets. This property is New Hopes second LEED platinum certified, energy efficient building. Perry has received several important honors, including: Housing the Homeless Commendation issued by International Making Cities Livable; New DevelopmentAffordable Tax Credit Award presented by the Houston Apartment Association; and, a 2013 Keep Houston Beautiful Mayors Proud Partner Award. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Rittenhouse 160 unitsNew Hope opened its seventh SRO Rittenhouse, in December 2013. As New Hopes fourth tax credit development, Rittenhouse is financed through a public/private partnership that leverages tax credit investments with funds from the City of Houston as well as private charitable donors. Rittenhouse is a 160-unit SRO apartment complex located in north Houston off I-45 North at the corner of Stuebner Airline and Rittenhouse Road. It is New Hopes third LEED platinum development. Rittenhouse recently received the J. Howard Rambin III Founders Award presented by Keep Houston Beautiful.The Rittenhouse development features a grove of mature oaks trees, beautiful gardens and native prairie areas, creating a unique park-like experience. It also includes public art installations. The creation of a sense of place through art and nature is an integral part of New Hopes award-winning approach to affordable housing. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 9: NHH at Reed 140 unitsWith the opening of Rittenhouse, New Hope celebrated reaching its near-term goal of developing and managing almost 1,000 units of SRO housing. There is a compelling need for Housing + Services for a number of vulnerable populations in Houston, and New Hope is now positioned to address a variety of supportive housing needs. The Board of Directors made a strategic decision to respond to this need, and to expand New Hopes reach to reduce the footprint of homelessness for Houston families, as well as continuing to serve individuals.New Hope is currently in pre-development to construct its first affordable, supportive housing for homeless and near homeless families. This planned community, NHH at Reed, will be a 140-unit apartment complex made up of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units. It will be located off Highway 288 and Reed Road.The City of Houston has committed $6MM in local Homeless Bond Program funds. To create a true public/private partnership, New Hope anticipates leveraging these funds with 4% Housing Tax Credits and Bonds, allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, in addition to grants and contributions from private sources. Groundbreaking is projected for the end of 2015. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 10: New Hope is the developer, owner, and manager of our affordable housing properties. New Hope operates a continuous development cycle where we have 2 to 3 projects in varying stages of development at any given time. For example, as we were completing construction on our Rittenhouse property, we were preparing to break ground on the renovation of our Hamilton Street Residence, and also in pre-development for our first family supportive housing development - NHH at Reed. New Hope earns developer fees during the construction of a property, though paid out much later, as the project meets investor benchmarks. While a portion of the earned developer fees help fill gaps in operating needs, the main intent is for developer fees to be used as working capital for future projects. Being in a capital intensive business, New Hope operates to the standards of the quality for-profit multifamily industry, and its real estate development financial model is a testament to that work.
