The original loan agreement (HOST 202054254) for this project includes the below AMI unit table; however, the covenant did not place any restriction on bedroom size. Neither did the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) Land Use Restriction Agreement (LURA). This discrepancy was discovered after the property was leased up in compliance with the covenant, and it would take years to get the unit mix matching the loan agreement.
Original Unit Mix:

Due to the existing discrepancy and the extremely long timeline that would be required to revert the project to the original unit mix, HOST and the borrower request approval to amend the agreement to adjust the unit mix to the lease-up mix shown below. The covenant will be amended to include the unit mix, as well. Of note, this mix includes one more 30% 2-bedroom unit than the prior mix. This is a particularly difficult type of unit to develop.
