Construction and permanent financing is provided through loans from private institutional lenders and from public sources including HPD, the New York City Housing Development Corporation, the State of New York, and the federal government. Additional funding may also be provided from the syndication of low-income housing tax credits. The newly constructed buildings provide rental housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households, with at least 60% of units affordable to households earning up to 80% of Area Median Income ( AMI ) and up to 40% of units affordable to households earning up to 120% of AMI.

Under the proposed project, the City will sell the Disposition Area to Nehemiah Spring Creek 5B Housing Development Fund Corporation ('Sponsor') for the nominal price of one dollar per tax lot. The Sponsor will also deliver an enforcement note and mortgage for the remainder of the appraised value ( Land Debt ). The Sponsor will then construct three buildings containing up to 200 rental dwelling units, including one superintendent unit, on the Disposition Area. The Land Debt or the City s capital subsidy may be repayable out of resale or refinancing profits for a period of at least thirty (30) years following completion of construction. The remaining balance, if any, may be forgiven at the end of the term.
