Affordable Housing Contacts in Other Tri-Valley Cities
The first item listed above includes a table describing the affordable ownership housing developments in
which the City of Pleasanton has been involved to date. While the affordable homes that have already
been built through these programs are sold and occupied, most programs include restrictions which limit
the sales price when homes are resold. You may wish to monitor resale activity in these areas by
working with a realtor or by contacting the City's Housing Division (925-931-5007). In addition, the
City works closely with the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC) on the sale of new
below-market prices homes and the resale of existing homes. The TVHOC can be reached directly at
925-373-3130 (www.tvhoc.org).
Similar information on below-market ownership housing opportunities can be found at the City of
Pleasanton's Internet web site at www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us/community/housing (click on "Affordable
Housing Developments and Programs" at the upper left-hand corner of that page).
The City will continue to work with current and future developers to implement new affordable
ownership housing programs. Please feel free to contact me at 925-931-5007 (or via email at
serickson@ci.pleasanton.ca.us) for an update on any new programs or if you have any questions
concerning the information included in this packet.

In addition to sales of existing homes, there are usually new home developments under
construction in Pleasanton. Sales prices for new homes in the area generally start at near
$1,000,000, although custom homes and larger production homes on large lots are significantly
more expensive. Information on new home developments in Pleasanton can be obtained through
the local newspapers or in new home publications.
Pleasanton Home Ownership Assistance Program (PHAP)
Since 1992, the City has had a program to assist first-time home buyers in overcoming the
obstacle of high local housing costs to be able to purchase homes in Pleasanton. The affordable
homes, part of new subdivisions, have been achieved through negotiation and collaboration
between the City and various home builders. To date, these efforts have resulted in the
development of over 120 affordable homes in ten separate developments. The homes have
included a variety of housing types which have been sold based on several different programs at
below-market prices ranging from the low-$100,000's to the low-$200,000's.
The purchase of these affordable homes has generally been restricted to owner-occupant, firsttime home buyers. The homes have been designed to be affordable to households at varying
income levels ranging from 50% to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The most recent
projects have been targeted at 80% of the AMI (approximately $71,350 maximum annual income
for a household of four persons in 2013). The programs that have been completed to date or are
currently under development are listed in the table on the next page.

Due to competition for the affordable homes, eligible buyers are typically selected through a
lottery system, with priority going to Pleasanton residents and employees. In some cases,
second mortgages have been offered by the City or through other sources to bridge the gap
between a minimum down payment and the amount of the primary loan so that buyers can
qualify to purchase the homes. Additional assistance has sometimes been available through the
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program, in which eligible home buyers can receive a credit
on their annual taxes to be applied to lower their monthly housing payment. To ensure continued
affordability over time, most PHAP homes include restrictions controlling the maximum sales
price and maximum income of subsequent buyers when the homes are resold.
As listed in the preceding table, the City most recently coordinated the sale of seven belowmarket priced townhomes in the Birch Terrace development on Vineyard Avenue. The last of
these homes was sold in 2008. We do not have anything available for application at this time.
However, the City continues to work with developers of new housing projects in order to make
available new below-market priced homes. In addition, the City is involved periodically with the
resale of existing PHAP homes. Information on upcoming developments with affordable home
ownership opportunities can be obtained by from the Citys Housing Division (925-931-5007) or
the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (925-373-3130; www.tvhoc.org).
Housing Finance Programs
In addition to the second mortgage loans described above, the City has a Down Payment
Assistance (DPA) loan program to promote home ownership in Pleasanton. The DPA program
currently provides loans up to $20,000 for low and moderate income households to purchase
existing homes in Pleasanton. The guidelines and application for the DPA program can be
obtained on our web site at www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us/community/housing or by contacting the
Citys Housing Division at 925-931-5007. [Note that the DPA program is subject to the
availability of funds.]

Sample Guidelines for the

Pleasanton Homeownership
Assistance Program (PHAP)
The seven (7) townhomes in the Birch Terrace development (the Citys most
recent below-market home ownership opportunity) were completed and
occupied in 2007-2008. There are currently no below-market priced homes
available for application. However, the City continues to work with
developers of new housing projects in order to make available new belowmarket priced homes. The attached guidelines are provided as a sample of
the guidelines and restrictions that will likely apply to similar future belowmarket home ownership programs.

LY
The City of Pleasanton, in cooperation with Silverstone Communities, is offering for sale seven (7) townhomes for first-time home buyers as
part of the Birch Terrace development at Vineyard Avenue and Birch Creek Drive in southeast Pleasanton. The Birch Terrace development
features a total of 45 housing units. The seven first-time home buyer homes will be attached townhomes with two-story living areas located
above a ground-level two-car garage. Five (5) of the homes will be approximately 1,280 sq. ft. in area with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Two (2)
of the homes will be approximately 1,850 sq. ft. in area with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The floor plans for both unit types include a two-car
garage located on the ground floor below the living area. There may be a homeowners association to provide for the maintenance of common
areas and front yards. The unit floor plans are attached to this information.
This publication and the related selection process pertain only to seven townhomes being developed by Silverstone Communities in the Birch
Terrace development. If additional below-market priced, first-time home buyer homes become available in the future in other areas of
Pleasanton, they will be offered through a separate publication and selection process.
Must be a first-time homebuyer. First-time homebuyer is a household where not more than one member of the household has had an
ownership interest in residential property. For a single head of household, the homebuyer must not have been a previous sole owner of
property and must not currently have an ownership in property. (Important - See the Eligibility Guidelines for a complete definition.)
The buyer must occupy the home for the duration of ownership.
Must be issued an application number as part of the Citys selection process.
The buyer must enter into a resale restriction agreement with the City which establishes, in part, residency requirements, home
maintenance standards and restricts the resale price and process for the resale of the homes. The resale restrictions include a formula that
establishes a resale price of the home based on increases or decreases in the Area Median Income as determined by the U.S. Dept. of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rather than fluctuations in the housing market.
The buyer's annual household income at the time of application and at close of escrow must not exceed the applicable percentage of the
current Area Median Income (AMI) based on the applicable household size, as defined below (effective March 2007):

The sales price of the five 2-bedroom townhomes will be $205,000 and will be sold to low income households with incomes that do not exceed
80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Alameda County. The sales price of the two 3-bedroom townhomes will be $310,000 and will be sold
to moderate income households with incomes that do not exceed 120% of the AMI. The City will not provide any direct financing, and buyers
must qualify independently for mortgage financing to purchase the homes. However, buyers may (but are not required to) apply separately for
second mortgage assistance through the Citys Down Payment Assistance (DPA) program. A summary of the DPA program is attached to this
information. To qualify to purchase one of these townhomes, the buyer must meet the following requirements as detailed in the attached Birch
Terrace Townhomes Affordable Housing Program Eligibility Guidelines. A summary of the guidelines follows:
Qualification and Home Allocation Process

To be considered for a home, interested parties must submit a completed Birch Terrace Townhomes Eligibility Preapplication to the Tri-Valley
Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC) at 20-A South L Street, Livermore, CA 94550, by no later than Friday, July 27, 2007, at 4:00pm (close
of business). Preapplications received after this date and time will not be considered, even if postmarked earlier. Faxed applications will not be
accepted. A household may submit only one Preapplication. The submittal of more than one Preapplication or the submittal of false information
will result in disqualification from the selection process.
Copies of the Birch Terrace Townhomes Eligibility Preapplication are available during normal business hours at the following locations:
City of Pleasanton web site (www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us; follow the links to Community and then Affordable Housing)
Pleasanton Library, 400 Old Bernal Avenue, Pleasanton, CA (10:00am - 9:00pm, Monday-Thursday; 10:00am - 5:00pm, Friday &

Eligibility and Financing Application
ON
LY
The City will review all Preapplications, and those meeting project qualifications will be entered into a random drawing to determine the numerical
order in which the Eligibility and Financing Applications will be issued. Application numbers will be assigned through a random drawing based
on the Citys preference system. The City will notify all applicants by mail of the results of the selection process within approximately two weeks
following the preapplication deadline. The assignment of application numbers will be based an approved preference system for City-assisted
affordable housing projects. The preference system assigns points based primarily on an applicants residence and employment location, with
higher points allocated to persons who live and/or work in the City of Pleasanton. A random selection process is used to determine ranking
within each point group. The issuance of an application number does not represent an offer to purchase a home. Rather, it represents the order
in which the Eligibility and Financing Applications will be issued. The actual home sale will be based on the ability to meet eligibility guidelines
and to obtain financing within a time frame established by the City. The number of Eligibility and Financing Applications issued will be based on
the number of qualified Preapplicants needed in order to identify qualified buyers. Preapplicants with the lowest application number will be the
first to receive Eligibility and Financing Applications.
M
PL
E
If you receive an Eligibility and Financing Application, you will have seven (7) calendar days to complete and return all required information to the
Citys Program Agent at the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC). As part of the application and qualification process, you will be
required to provide the following: 2004, 2005 and 2006 Federal Income Tax Form 1040 (all schedules) and W-2s for all household members
over the age of 18; proof of all current income received by any member of your household over the age of 18; documentation of all financial
assets as defined in the attached Eligibility Guidelines; quarterly financial/activity statements from your bank, credit union, brokerage accounts,
401K or retirement accounts for the past three (3) months; proof of residency and the time period of residency; and the address where you have
been employed for the past two years. If you are physically disabled you must submit a doctors statement detailing the extent and type of
disability. If you are a single parent and have custody of children, a statement attesting to this situation is also required.
While you should not submit any of the above information until you receive an Eligibility and Financing Application, please start to organize the
material at this time, as failure to provide the required information within the seven-day period will lead to disqualification from the process.
Additional information and submittal requirements will be included with the Eligibility and Financing Application.
Following submittal of the Eligibility and Financing Application, the Citys Program Agent will conduct an eligibility and financial analysis to
determine program and financial eligibility. If you meet the program and financial eligibility criteria, you will receive additional instructions
regarding mortgage loan financing, including qualification for a City second mortgage loan. If you do not meet program guidelines, you will be
advised that your application will no longer be considered. While there are many financing scenarios, a typical situation is included in the
attached Birch Terrace Townhomes Typical Mortgage Financing Scenarios.

M
PL
E
ON
LY
1. Annual household income may not the applicable percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI),

household income for the remainder of the current calendar year. In the event a household, and/or
a household member, recently experienced a significant increase in monthly income, generally
defined as an increase of 20%, annual household income will be determined by projecting the new
monthly income for a period of twelve months. Income shall include the following:
a) The gross amount, before any payroll deductions, of wages and salaries, overtime pay,
commissions, fees, tips and bonuses;
b) The net income from operation of a business or profession or from rental or real or personal
property (for this purpose, expenditures for business expansion or amortization of capital
indebtedness shall not be deducted to determine the net income from a business);
c) Interest and dividends;
d) The full amount of periodic payments received from social security, annuities, insurance
policies, retirement funds, pensions, disability or death benefits and other similar types of
periodic receipts;
e) Payments in lieu of earnings, such as unemployment and disability compensation, workers
compensation and severance pay;
1 of 5
f)
Public Assistance. If the public assistance payment includes an amount specifically designated
for shelter and utilities which is subject to adjustment by the public assistance agency in
accordance with the actual cost of shelter and utilities, the amount of public assistance income
to be included as income shall consist of:
(1) The amount of the allowance or grant exclusive of the amount specifically designated for
shelter and utilities, plus
(2) The maximum amount which the public assistance agency could in fact allow for the family
for shelter and utilities;
ON
LY
g) Periodic and determinable allowances such as alimony and child support payments, and regular

h) All regular pay, special pay and allowances of a member of the Armed Forces (whether or not
living in the dwelling) who is head of the family or spouse;
In addition to the above, where a family has net assets in excess of $25,000 (after subtracting
any assets used as a down payment and closing costs to purchase the home), the applicants
annual income shall include the actual amount of income derived from the asset(s), or 10% of
the value of the asset(s), whichever is greater. If the total assets are less than $25,000, the
actual amount of income derived from the asset will be included as income. For this section,

2. The applicant must be a first-time homebuyer. First-time homebuyer is defined as a household

where not more than one member of the household has had an interest in residential property
provided no member of the household has been the sole owner of residential property. For a single
head of household, the homebuyer must not have been a sole owner of residential property. A
household that at the time of preapplication or application has a member that was residing in
property for which it had an ownership interest, does not qualify as a first- time homebuyer.
SA
3. Owner must occupy the property as the principal place of residence for at least ten (10) months of
each calendar year. The property and improvements must be maintained in good condition and
repair throughout the period of ownership. The property may not be subleased.
4. Buyers are required to demonstrate ability to obtain mortgage financing within a specific time frame
established by the City. The Citys Agent will review the Loan application and supporting
documentation for program eligibility and will forward the loan package to the Lead Lender. The
Loan Officer will review the file and submit to the Underwriting Department for loan approval.
Failure to provide required financial information within the time frames established by the City will
result in the household forfeiting its current application number and being removed from further
consideration.
5. Any Purchaser must agree to comply with the restrictive covenants placed on the property by the
City which in part, restrict the sale of the home to eligible purchasers at a maximum resale price
determined by the City. The restrictive covenants shall remain in perpetuity.
2 of 5
The resale price will be based on adjustments in the Area Median Income (AMI) for the Oakland
Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) as published annually by the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For example, if the AMI has increased 5%
from the time the home was purchased to the time it is available for resale, the sales price shall be
5% more than the initial sales price ($205,000 initial sales price plus 5% equals a maximum resale
price of $215,250; $310,000 initial sales price plus 5% equals a maximum resale price of
$325,500). If the median income decreases by 5% the maximum sales price will be reduced by 5%
($205,000 initial sales price less 5% for a maximum resale price of $194,750; $310,000 initial sales
price less 5% for a maximum resale price of $294,500). The formula for determining the maximum
resale price shall also include an allowance for reasonable closing costs and marketing expenses
as determined periodically by the City.

Birch Terrace Townhomes Guidelines for Eligibility Verification,

Loan Application Processing and Assignment of Homes
The City will distribute an Eligibility and Financing Application (Application) to households
with the lowest Application numbers.
2.
The number of Applications issued will be dependent upon the number of homes available for
sale. The Citys policy is to issue the minimum number of Applications needed to assure that
all homes are sold.
3.
Receipt of an Application does not obligate the City or Silverstone Communities to enter into
a purchase agreement to purchase a home. The purpose of the Application is to:
(1) determine if the applicant meets the Citys eligibility requirements; (2) to verify the
applicant meets the criteria for the points category assigned as part of the Citys Preference
System, and (3) to determine the applicants ability to obtain mortgage financing or other
financial resources required to purchase a home based upon program eligibility.
4.
Households receiving an Application will have seven (7) days to complete and return all
required information to the Citys Program Agent, the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center
(TVHOC). Your Application will specify a due date. Failure to complete and return all required
information within seven days will result in the household forfeiting its current application
number and being removed from further consideration.
5.
Any returned Applications must be submitted from households assigned an Application

number. Application numbers may not be transferred or assigned to other parties. Changes in
households as a result of divorce, marriage or other life changes are permissible only if one of
the signators of the final sale documents was a signatory to the Birch Terrace Townhomes
Eligibility Preapplication.
6.
TVHOC will review all Applications for program eligibility. Households that do not meet City
program guidelines, or households providing false information, will be disqualified from further
consideration.
7.
The Citys selection process for the issuance of Application numbers is based on a review of
information submitted on the Birch Terrace Townhomes Eligibility Preapplication. If a review
of an Application results in a determination that the initial City preference category assigned
to the applicant was inaccurate, the applicant will be assigned a new application number
which is higher then the previously highest number in the applicants correct City preference
category.

TVHOC will work with a lead mortgage lender to review all Applications for compliance with
financial qualifications and will determine financial capability to purchase a home based on
City program guidelines. The lead mortgage lender may offer mortgage financing to qualified
applicants.
9.
If mortgage financing is not offered, or if the applicant intends to use a different mortgage
lender, the applicant will have seven (7) days from the time of notification to provide TVHOC
with documentation of loan pre-approval from a secondary source that has approved the
Citys restrictive covenants and, if using a City of Pleasanton Down Payment Assistance
(DPA) program second mortgage, Citys loan documents. Failure to provide loan approval

agreements.
11. In addition to information requested as part of the initial Application, all applicants are
required to provide requested supplemental information to the City, its agents, including
TVHOC, and affiliated lenders which may be in addition to information requested as part of
the initial Application. Failure to provide supplemental information within the specified time
frame will result in the applicant being removed from further consideration.

12. The opportunity for applicants to select homes will be based on applicants Application
number. However, to assure that homes are sold in a timely manner, the City may offer home
selection to an applicant with a higher Application number who has received all loan and
eligibility approvals if the applicants with lower Application numbers have not yet received all
necessary loan and eligibility approvals, and if a home needs to be sold to maintain the
project schedule. Any selection will be restricted to homes currently available for occupancy.
Purchasers will not be given an opportunity to wait for a specific property that may be
available at a later date as part of a phased release of homes.
SA
13. Program and financial eligibility will be based on information approved and verified as part of
the Application and supplemental information requested from and/or on behalf of the City.

About the Program
The Citys Down Payment Assistance Program
provides 3.5% simple interest, amortized or
partially deferred loans to low and moderate

present time, the typical loan provided through
the program is a $20,000 loan with a 20 year
term. At 3.5% interest, the monthly payment for
this loan would be approximately $116.
In addition, to be eligible for the program you must

have sufficient credit worthiness to qualify for a
first mortgage with a lender. First mortgages must
be fixed rate loans with no negative amortization,
balloon payments or adjustable rate features.

Down Payment Assistance

Program Guidelines
REVISED
June 2010
The program provides financial assistance to low and moderate income

home buyers in the form of a 3.5% partially deferred loan.
(Please retain for your records)
1.
The program is restricted to the purchase of single-family residences which includes
condominiums, mobile homes, town homes, and single units that are part of a couplet or duet.
Multi unit structures (duplexes, triplexes, etc.) where more than one unit is being purchased are
not eligible. Homes purchased must be located in the City of Pleasanton. The homebuyer is
responsible for obtaining a first mortgage with a CalHFA-approved lender (see
https://wp11.calhfa.ca.gov/ApprovedLenders/) at a fixed interest rate with no negative
amortization, balloon payment or adjustable rate features.
2.
The program is available to 1) first-time homebuyers and 2) buyers who have owned a
home with resale restrictions through the Pleasanton Homeownership Assistance Program
(PHAP). In the event of a competing interest for funding, a priority will be given to first-time
homebuyers who have never owned a home in the past. First-time homebuyer is defined as a
household where not more than one member of the household has held an interest in residential
property provided no member of the household has been the sole owner of residential property.
For a single head of household, the homebuyer must not have been a sole owner of residential
property.
3.
Borrower must meet the income eligibility limits set by the program in order to qualify
for City assistance. Maximum loan amounts are determined by household size and income and
by the source of loan funds. Households earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income
(AMI) shall be eligible for up to $60,000 in down payment assistance if matching funds are
available to supplement City funds ($20,000 if loans are funded 100% from City funds). A
household earning between 80% and 120% of AMI shall also be eligible for up to $60,000 in
down payment assistance if matching funds are available to supplement City funds ($20,000 if
loans are funded 100% from City funds). Maximum income limits are adjusted for household
size. Loan amounts are further limited to a maximum of 20% of the total purchase price.
Borrower must provide sufficient documentation of income to the City for use in determining the
borrowers income level. Final determination of an applicants income level and program
eligibility shall be the sole discretion of the City. Total Household Income means the total
income of all residents of the household. Household members include individuals who will be
living in the affordable home including the head of household, spouse, children, or others listed,
as dependents on federal tax forms, extended family members, and other adults who are also
purchasing the property.
Annual household income includes the income of all household members over the age of 18
years who will be residing in the home. Annual household income includes all income for the
current calendar year to date (at the time of application submittal) plus the households
anticipated annual household income for the remainder of the current calendar year. In the event
a household, and/or a household member, recently experienced a significant increase in monthly
income, generally defined as an increase of 20%, annual household income will be determined
by projecting the new monthly income for a period of twelve months. Income shall include the
following:
a) The gross amount, before any payroll deductions, of wages and salaries, overtime pay,
commissions, fees, tips and bonuses;
b) The net income from operation of a business or profession or from rental or real or
personal property (for this purpose, expenditures for business expansion or amortization
of capital indebtedness shall not be deducted to determine the net income from a
business);
c) Interest and dividends;
d) The full amount of periodic payments received from social security, annuities, insurance
policies, retirement funds, pensions, disability or death benefits and other similar types of
periodic receipts;
e) Payments in lieu of earnings, such as unemployment and disability compensation,
workers compensation and severance pay;
f) Public Assistance. If the public assistance payment includes an amount specifically
designated for shelter and utilities which is subject to adjustment by the public assistance
agency in accordance with the actual cost of shelter and utilities, the amount of public
assistance income to be included as income shall consist of:
(1) The amount of the allowance or grant exclusive of the amount specifically designated
for shelter and utilities, plus
(2) The maximum amount which the public assistance agency could in fact allow for the
family for shelter and utilities;
g) Periodic and determinable allowances such as alimony and child support payments, and
regular contributions or gifts received from persons not residing in the dwelling;
h) All regular pay, special pay and allowances of a member of the Armed Forces (whether
or not living in the dwelling) who is head of the family or spouse;
4.
The homebuyer shall use the home as its primary residence and the home may not be
rented to a second party.
5.
Borrowers total debt to income ratio may not exceed 40% of the borrowers total
income. At the discretion of the Citys Housing Division, this minimum standard may be
adjusted if extenuating circumstances exist (e.g., buyer has minimal debt, high FICO score, down
payment exceeding the 3% minimum, etc.).
6.
Borrower may use a cosigner when qualifying for the first mortgage. The cosigners total
household income shall not be included as part of the households total income when
determining the borrowers income eligibility except in cases where the DPA program is used in
conjunction with specific below-market priced homes that are sold through the Pleasanton
Homeownership Assistance Program (PHAP).
7.
Total down payment assistance shall not exceed 20% of the purchase price of the home.
Eligible closing costs, including points, shall not exceed 2% of the purchase price. Borrower
must contribute a minimum 3% down payment (the minimum down payment may be reduced to
1% if the buyer uses other CalHFA down payment assistance and/or secondary financing
products).
8.
In the event of a competing interest for funding, a priority will be given to persons who
live and or work in the City of Pleasanton. The homebuyer will be required to enter into a
Promissory Note and Deed of Trust with the City.
9.
The homes are required to pass typical home inspections including termite and roof
clearances.
10. Buyer must obtain a written property inspection report from a qualified home inspection
company prior to the close of escrow. This report must cover all major systems in the house
including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, foundations, drainage systems, paint, and all
built-in appliances. Buyer must show evidence that City permits have been issued for all work
where permits are required.
11.
Buyer must purchase a one-year home warranty covering all major systems in the home
including built-in appliances, air conditioners, and water heating systems.
12.
For loans that are funded through two funding sources (e.g., CalHFA HELP and City
funds), assistance provided through the DPA program shall be in the form of two separate loans
of equal amount, one of which runs for the first ten years (using CalHFA HELP funds or other
matching funds) and another which runs for the second ten years (using City funds). For loans
that are funded solely with City funds, assistance shall be in the form of a single loan with a
twenty year term. Payments are generally amortized over the entire loan term. However, the
City may consider, on a case-by-case basis, deferring payments for up to the first three (3) years
if deemed necessary to improve the borrowers initial qualifying ratio. In this case, payments
shall be amortized over the remaining period so that the loan is completely repaid within the
aggregate term.
3
13.
Borrower shall enter into a loan agreement with the City of Pleasanton covering the total
amount of funds loaned by the City via a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust for each
loan. Failure by borrower to make timely loan payments to the City may result in the default of
the Citys loan(s) and forfeiture of ownership by the borrower. Loan funds may be used only to
purchase a house and to pay for any nonrecurring closing costs associated with purchasing the
home. Buyer shall not use loan funds to finance repairs, room additions or to purchase any nonreal property. Cash-out transactions are not eligible.
14.
Borrower must have sufficient creditworthiness to qualify for a first mortgage from a
CalHFA-approved lender. First mortgages must be fixed rate loans with no negative
amortization, balloon payments or adjustable rate features and must be approved by the City.
15.
Execution of the City's second mortgage documents shall be performed at close of escrow
by the Escrow Company.
16.
Fulfilling the above requirements is the sole responsibility of the homebuyer. Failure to
fully satisfy the above Program requirements as determined by the Citys Housing Division, may
result in a delay in funding or in loan denial.
17.
Borrower must submit a complete application package to the Citys Housing Division at
least four weeks prior to the scheduled close of escrow. Upon determination of eligibility for the
Program, by the Citys Housing Division, borrower shall receive a pre-approval letter stating
Program Eligibility. This letter shall indicate the maximum amount of loan funds for which the
buyer has been pre-approved. This letter only serves as a determination of loan eligibility. Since
funding is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis, a pre-approval letter is
not a guarantee that funds will be available to the borrower when requested. The specific steps
for disbursement of loan funds following pre-approval are attached to these guidelines.
18.
Homebuyer must successfully complete a City-approved homebuyer training program
prior to the close of escrow.
19.
Priority shall be given to persons who live and/or work in the City of Pleasanton
consistent with the Citys adopted preference system for affordable housing projects.

funds available in an amount equal to a minimum of 3% of the purchase price to be used as the

When you submit an application, it will be reviewed for completeness and eligibility based on

Being allowed to apply for a second mortgage is not a guarantee that you will be able to buy a

for a down payment, the income you have available for mortgage payments, your outstanding
debt, and your credit history.
You may apply for a mortgage loan from any lender you choose. However, your first mortgage
and the home you wish to purchase must meet the program guidelines included in this package.

Mortgage Credit Certificate

(MCC) Program
07/10
Mortgage Credit Certificate

(MCC) Program

Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCC's) can help first-time homebuyers purchase homes in Pleasanton and
other areas of Alameda County. Through the use of an MCC, eligible home buyers increase their ability
to qualify for a mortgage loan and reduce their effective mortgage interest rate approximately 1.5
percentage points. MCC recipients may take 15% of their annual mortgage interest payments as a dollarfor-dollar tax credit against their federal income taxes. The home buyer adjusts federal income tax
withholdings, increasing income available to pay the mortgage. The MCC Program is coordinated in
Pleasanton by the Alameda County Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department.
How the MCC Benefits The Home Buyer
A home buyer with an 7% fixed rate 30-year mortgage of $300,000 would pay approximately $20,900 in
interest payments for the first year. With an MCC, up to $3,135 (15% of $20,900) of the interest could be
taken as a tax credit against the home buyer's federal income taxes, effectively reducing the monthly
mortgage payment, and helping the home buyer qualify for and support a mortgage.

Who Qualifies?
First Time Home Buyers The home buyer cannot have owned a principal residence within the last
three years.
Income The home buyer's total household income cannot exceed $86,100 for 1 or 2 person
household or $99,015 for a 3 or more person household.*
Owner Occupancy The home buyer must live in the house being purchased with an MCC-assisted
mortgage.
Eligible Properties An MCC may be used for the purchase of new or existing single-family homes
including single-family detached homes, mobile homes, condominiums, or townhouses. Three or
more unit properties are not eligible for MCC-assisted mortgages.
Purchase Price The purchase price of the house cannot exceed $585,765 for new units (never
previously occupied) and $569,765 for existing units (resale).*
[Contact the Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department at 510-670-5799 to
confirm current income and purchase price limits.]
How To Apply For An MCC

To obtain an MCC, the home buyer selects a real estate agent, locate an eligible property, signs a purchase
agreement, and arranges financing with a participating lender (a list of participating lenders can be
obtained from HCD). The home buyer pays a non-refundable application fee of $500. The lender
determines home buyer eligibility and forwards the MCC application to HCD for approval.
Recapture
Recapture is an IRS rule that may increase the amount of tax you pay when you sell your home. The
amount of recapture will depend on the year in which you sell, your income that year, and the amount of
gain you receive from the sale. If you sell the house more than nine years after the closing date, you will
not have to pay additional taxes. Your lender can provide more details.
For More Information About the MCC Program
Your participating lender or realtor can provide you with program information. For a list of participating
lenders, contact the Alameda County Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department at
510-670-5799 (hearing impaired: 510-265-0253).

The Housing Rehabilitation program has become an increasingly significant element of the City's housing
and community development efforts. As Pleasanton's housing stock has continued to age (along with an
aging population), home maintenance and repair have increased in importance. The existence of an active
housing rehabilitation program is seen as a necessary element of Pleasanton's affordable housing policies
in that it addresses preservation of existing housing which is very affordable to the present occupants. A
large percentage of beneficiaries of this program are elderly and single parent households.
The City's Housing Rehabilitation program includes a variety of sub-programs which offer different types
of services. These are summarized below:
For Home Owners:
Major Rehabilitation Loan Program
The objective of this program is the rehabilitation of housing to bring all systems up to standard
(e.g., electrical, plumbing, roofing, etc.). Low interest (3%) loans are available for items that
exceed the grant program limits. Loans are either amortized (monthly payments) or deferred (no
payments due until the home is sold or transferred) depending on the borrowers income and debt.
Eligible repairs include: roof, gutters, sewer line replacement, termite and dry rot damage repair,
furnaces, electrical/plumbing repair and replacement, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, accessibility
improvements, insulation, and solar electric systems.
Minor Home Repair Grants
Repairs are made to correct immediate threats to the health and safety of the occupants (e.g.,
electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc.). This program has five components:
Minor Home Repair (max. $2,000) Includes water heaters, smoke detectors, minor
plumbing and electrical repairs
Mobile home repair (max. $5,000) Includes any mobile-home repairs that fall within the
grant limit
Clean-Up Grant (max. $1,000) Includes trimming trees, haul away of debris, general cleanup of exterior
Accessibility (max. $5,000) Disability-related access including ramps, grab bars, and other
accessibility items.
Seismic (max. $2,000) Seismic bracing to strengthen the foundation of the home.
For Mobile Home Owners:

Mobile Home Loan Program
Loans of up to $25,000 are available to owners of mobile homes for larger repairs and
improvements including lifts, roof replacement, bathroom repairs and dry rot repairs. Mobile
home loans may be deferred (not requiring repayment until the home is sold or transferred) or may
be amortized.
Mobile Home Repair Grants
This program provides loans for repairs to correct immediate threats to the health and safety of the
occupants (e.g., electrical, plumbing, roofing, carpentry, seismic, etc.). The program offers grants
to low income owners of mobile homes at a maximum of $5,000 for labor and materials.
Other Programs:
Free Accessibility Improvements
Free accessibility grants are available for persons who are disabled. Grants can be used for the
construction of railings, installation of grab bars, and similar modifications:
Homeowner grants of up to $5,000

Tenant grants of up to $5,000 (with approval from the rental property owner)
The construction of ramps and other more expensive modifications can be addressed for
homeowners under the Rehabilitation Loan Program.
Solar Affordable Housing Program
The City works with GRID Alternatives, a nonprofit agency, to provide information, assistance,
and funding for the installation of solar panels for low-income households through the Housing
Rehabilitation Loan Program. Federal CDBG funds pay for rehabilitation services to facilitate the
installation of solar electric systems on low-income owner-occupied homes in Pleasanton.
Rental Rehabilitation Loans
The objective of this program is to eliminate substandard housing conditions and bring properties
into conformance with the acceptable standards. To be eligible for assistance, a majority
(i.e., 51%) of the units in a rental complex must be occupied by low income tenants. Projects will
be underwritten to ensure that they can be operated and maintained at affordable rents, and owners
must be able to demonstrate a history of stable operation and ownership. The program provides
both deferred payment loans (maximum 5 year term) and amortized loans (maximum 15 year
term) at low interest rates. The maximum loan amount is $15,000 to $25,000 per unit (depending
on the size of unit). Interested property owners should contact the Housing Rehabilitation
Program directly at 925-931-5013.
Information on the City of Pleasanton's Housing Rehabilitation Program can be obtained by calling
