Homekey grant funding will help cover eligible costs for the Phase 1 proposal, but not Phase 2 because the latter will not occur for a few years and would involve a separate planning and financing process/ Homekey eligible costs primarily focus on acquisition and/or renovation/construction costs for housing. The City expects to use Homekey funding for acquisition and renovation of the motel units into code compliant shelter units and related common areas, shelter unit operations and/or relocation assistance if applicable. The navigation/drop-in services center will primarily be funded through City and other County, State and/or federal funds excluding Homekey. The total project cost for Phase 1 is approximately $16 million, which includes acquisition of the Nimitz Motel for $6.2 million (including approximately $85,000 in closing costs), $2.5 million for renovations, $7.5 million in operating/services costs (or $1.5 million annually) and $300,000 in miscellaneous costs including relocation. The City proposes to provide local match of approximately $8.5 million (including up to $5.5 million for operating/services subsidy over 5 years), which will leverage approximately $7.3 million in Homekey grant funding. The project team is still refining the project and financing costs at the time this staff report was prepared. Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/13/2022
