Affirmed Housing Group, LLC, proposes to construct a new 100% affordable housing project at 1371 Kooser Road, San José, Santa Clara County, California 95118 (APNs 569-100-78 and -80). The Santa Clara County Housing Authority (SCCHA) will be providing assistance to the project in the form of Section 8 Project Based Vouchers (PBVs) for 30 studio apartment units as authorized under Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937 of 1990, as amended.  PBV housing assistance will be provided for an initial contract term of 20 years, with a possible automatic renewal of an additional 20 years, subject to annual appropriations from the federal government and SCCHA’s determination that the owner is in compliance with the Housing Assistance Payment contract and other applicable HUD requirements, for a total of forty (40) years.  The estimated total funding for rental subsidy is $2,557,200 ($127,860 annually) for the initial 20-year term of the Housing Assistance Payment contract and contingent upon the availability of Section 8 funds as allocated by the federal government. Please note that the actual funded amount may be up to $5,000,000 more to account for market fluctuations.

 The existing commercial building and parking lot on the project would be demolished, and a new seven story building would be constructed. The building would have 191 residential units comprised of 75 studios, 18 one-bedroom, 48 two-bedroom, and 50 three-bedroom units. Two of the three-bedroom units would be reserved for on-site managers. Amenities include a community room, community kitchen, courtyard, bike storage, and laundry facilities.  A backup diesel powered generator would be provided on the east side of the site near Dellwood Way within an aluminum weather/sound enclosure and a nine-foot high, open roof, concrete masonry enclosure.
