On or about July 31, 1991, the City of Portland will apply for
$13,750,000 in Section 108 loan guarantee funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. The use of
these funds will be for acquisition rehabilitation and management
for rental or resale to low-and moderate-income families of ap­
proximately 353 properties currently owned by Dominion Capital,
Inc.
These activities will be consistent with Community Development
Block Grants (CDBG) regulations, will benefit low-and moderate-
income families and will achieve national objectives for the
CDBG program of benefiting low-and moderate-income persons
and households to obtain decent housing and a suitable living
environment.
The 108 program provides funding for com munity development
programs where repayment is guaranteed by future CDGB allo­
cations. Under a current proposal, the funds throu~h fhe Section
108 program will be made available by the C iiy ,o Portland
Community Reinvestm ent Initiatives, Inc., an Oregon nonprofit,
community-based organization. PCRI was formed to purchase
all property of Dominion Capital, Inc., located principally in North/
Northeast Portland, to improve its quality, reduce its cost to
renters and purchasers and to manage it to enhance its value to
Portland's North/Northeast neighborhoods. The bulk of the prop­
erties to be acquired are located in the ten neighborhoods of
Piedmont, Woodlawn, Concordia, Vernon, King, Humboldt, Boise,
Sabin, Eliot and Irvington.
The business plan developed in conjunction with the Section 108
loan application anticipates sufficient income to PCRI from rental
and contract sales payments and other fees associated with the
corporation’s business to provide loan repayment. In addition, a
purchase refinance plan envisions substituting 108 loan funds
with funds from conventional lenders and private agencies to
accelerate repaym ent of the loan. If these funds are insufficient
to repay the loan, loan repayments must come from future
Community Development Block Grants.
The City, through PCRI, proposes to meet program objectives by
undertaking the following activities:
PROPERTY ACQUISITION ($9,175,210): An offer has been
made to Dominion Capital, Inc., through the Federal Bank­
ruptcy Trustee to purchase all property interests of Dominion
Capital for the stipulated amount. The approxim ately 353
properties are comprised of approxim ately 208 rental proper­
ties and 145 properties with contracts of sale outstanding to
homeowners and investors.
PROPERTY REHABILITATION ($1,439,500): Funds will be
spent directly by PCRI to renovate rental properties and will
be made available in the form of loans to contract purchasers
to perform renovation of these properties to assure that they
are decent, safe and sanitary and can be econom ically m ain­
tained in habitable condition.
ORGANIZATION COSTS ($72,000): These funds will be
used to equip PCRI with the necessary facilities, tools, ac­
counting systems and staff necessary to undertake program
activities.
OPERATING RESERVES ($3,1 124,790): These funds are in­
tended to assure access to capital for unforeseen expenses
in the acquisition, rehabilitation and operation of the Domin­
ion portfolio. The business plan projects income and ex­
pense estim ates for the first five years of operation. It does
not anticipate the use of these funds.
TOTAL: $13,750,000
Citizens are invited to com m ent on the proposal by submitting
comments to Dan Steffey, Director, Bureau of Community Devel­
opment, 808 S.W. 3rd Avenue, Room 600, Portland, OR 97204,
by July 22,1991; or persons can appear in person at the time and
place indicated above.
