Cal Cities-sponsored bond agency issues $36.3 million in tax-exempt bonds for affordable housing in Redding

Dec 1, 2020
Block 7 Downtown Apartments in Redding is a new construction project designed to provide the community with affordable housing units, market-rate apartments, and a combined retail space.
 
CSCDA and the project builder, K2 Development Companies, partnered with Citibank and Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP to provide $36,349,652 in affordable housing bonds to build the project. The project will ensure that 80 percent of the rental housing units will be rent restricted for low-income tenants, and affordable units will be restricted to households earning 60 percent or less of the area median income. The financing for the project will maintain the affordability of units for low-income tenants for 55 years.
 
Cal Cities' co-sponsorship of CSCDA continues to be a significant benefit for League members. CSCDA has issued more than $63 billion in tax-exempt bonds for projects that provide a public benefit by creating jobs, affordable housing, healthcare, infrastructure, schools, and other fundamental services.
 
CSCDA is a joint powers authority created in 1988 and is sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties. More than 530 cities, counties, and special districts are program participants in CSCDA, which serves as their conduit issuer and provides access to efficiently finance locally-approved projects.
