Title
Resolution to Approve the FY24 Ann Arbor Housing Commission Agency-Wide Operating Budget
Memorandum
The Housing Commission’s fiscal year begins July 1st and ends June 30th of each year; and the Commission has prepared an initial Ann Arbor Housing Commission operating budget for FY23 (July 1, 2023 thru June 30, 2024).
The budget includes all of the HUD program cost centers for the AAHC on the left side of the budget spreadsheet. The budget also includes the AAHC’s affiliated business entities on the right side of the budget sheet. The AAHDC, Lurie Terrace, Siller Terrace and Colonial Oaks are affiliated entities and they are reported on the AAHC’s audit, but the tax credit properties called Maple Tower, River Run, Swift Lane and West Arbor are audited separately as separate legal entities.
• The Ann Arbor Housing Development Corporation (AAHDC) is a separate legal entity from the AAHC and the AAHDC Board must adopt the AAHDC budget. HUD considers the AAHDC an affiliated business entity of the AAHC so it is included in the AAHC budget and audit even though it also must file a 990 as a separate 501c3.
• The AAHDC budget includes a significant increase in funding due to the Affordable Housing Millage funding of over $7 million, County Mental Health Millage rebate funding over $1 million and a $3 million grant from Representative Dingell’s office.
• The Ann Arbor Affordable Housing Corporation, DBA Lurie Terrace, is a separate legal entity from the AAHC and the AAAHC Board must adopt the AAAHC budget. HUD considers the AAAHC an affiliated business entity of the AAHC so it is included in the AAHC budget and audit even though it also must file a 990 as a separate 501c3.
• The federal government has adopted the federal FY23 budget, which covers July to Dec 2023 of the AAHC’s budget. This budget reflects the budget information provided by HUD.
• The Garden property budget is included in the Colonial Oaks budget. The property is expected to transfer to Colonial Oaks during FY23.
• The Board already approved the tax credit properties Maple Tower, River Run, Swift Lane and West Arbor budgets at a separate board meeting because their budget year is January to December.
• The cash-flow from the tax credit properties are restricted. Most of the cash-flow will go to the AAHDC, however, not until after the audit is complete for these properties. The cash-flow will be distributed as agreed to in the development agreement with the equity investor.
