Summary
KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) and KeyBank Real Estate Capital (KBREC) provided $49 million of financing for Columbia Residential ("Columbia"), a partner of the Tallahassee Housing Authority, to construct an affordable housing property in Tallahassee, Florida.
CDLI provided a $33 million construction loan and a $15.9 million Freddie Forward Commitment permanent loan to fund the new construction of Magnolia Family II. The property includes a total of 160 units, of which 128 units will meet income restricted requirements of 33% and 60% or less of the area median income (AMI). The remaining 32 units will remain at market rate value. Residents of Magnolia will receive supportive services at no cost including:
- Employment Assistance Program (EAP): Quarterly scheduled EAP workshops/meetings offering employment counseling and skills workshops providing instruction in the basic skills necessary for getting, keeping, and doing well in a job.
- Financial Management Program: Quarterly classes to provide residents training in various aspects of personal financial management including financial budgeting and bill-paying, tax preparation, fraud prevention, retirement planning/savings, and homebuyer education including how to prepare to buy a home, and how to access to first-time homebuyer programs in the county in which the development is located.
- Adult Literacy: Literacy tutor(s) who will provide weekly literacy lessons to residents in private space on-site.
The project also received support from RBC, which provided a $19.5 million equity investment through the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program, as well as approval from the Tallahassee Housing Authority, for Project-Based Voucher Assistance.
Magnolia Family II is the second phase of the redevelopment of a public housing complex. CDLI and KBREC provided financing for Magnolia Family Phase I and is scheduled to be complete by November 1, 2023.
