Pratt Area Supports
Small Businesses
You’ve heard, perhaps, that the eco-
nomic slump is turning the corner,
and you’re thinking this is the mo-
ment to shoot for your dream of open-
ing a local wine bar, dance studio, or
art supply store. Maybe an ice cream
parlor. You ride the subway to one of
the big box bookstores (your neigh-
borhood sure could use a bookshop)
and you’re confronted by a mountain
of information about starting a small
business. You thumb through some
tables of contents… and start to feel
overwhelmed by what’s involved.
Good news. An experienced, highly-
capable partner is yours for the ask-
ing — at no cost to you.
Dan Rieber (NMIC) will explain the New York State
Pratt Area Community Council
(PACC), an award-winning non-prof-
it, has joined with other community
organizations, public agencies and
the private sector to attract and re-
tain small businesses to its service
area spanning Brooklyn’s Bedford-
Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill and Fort
Green neighborhoods.
The focus area is Fulton Street be-
tween Flatbush and Bedford Av-
enues, a bustling commercial zone
and transit hub with some of the bor-
ough’s heaviest pedestrian traffic.

to increase access to affordable housing, because a vi-
tal community starts with giving hard-working families a
decent place to live.
But, PACC also recognizes that the community is en-
riched when those families can buy from local shops
and eat in local restaurants, and even start their own
small businesses, which drive the local economy and
create jobs.
PACC served as a liaison between the city and local
merchants in the creation of the new Fulton Street Busi-
ness Improvement District (BID) — the FAB Alliance —
which was signed into law in December 2008.
PACC helped guide the steering committee through the
budget process, collected ballots, conducted commu-
nity surveys, and rallied the merchants to get behind the
idea of the BID. Just east of the area served by the FAB
Alliance is the new Bed-Stuy Gateway BID, which was
signed into law in March 2009.
New York City has more than 60 BIDs — public-private
partnerships in which property and business owners
elect to make a collective contribution for the mainte-
nance, development and promotion of their commercial
district.
Together, PACC, Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Cor-
poration, the FAB Alliance and the Bed-Stuy Gateway
BID are making a two-mile stretch along Fulton Street
clean, beautiful and safe, and are supporting the estab-
lishment and success of a diverse array of retail offer-
ings. The BIDs will benefit not only the residents and
businesses of the local neighborhood but the thousands
of residents of nearby communities as well.
Kpadeh Sepoe knows firsthand how rewarding an en-
trepreneurial partnership with PACC can be. Kpadeh
had worked as a manager at a local tax preparation
business and dreamed of starting his own. With assis-
tance from PACC, Kpadeh started Eclipse Tax Service
—and he was so successful that he soon outgrew his
two workstations.
In 2009, he attended one of PACC’s “Rolling Up the
Gates” storefront strolls, where budding small business
owners can learn about the services offered through
PACC and tour available storefront locations.
He found a larger space nearby and PACC leased it to
him at an exceptionally good rent. PACC also helped
him get a matching grant to refurbish the office with new
flooring and walls.

Today, Kpadeh has five employees in Bedford-Stuyves-
ant and operates an office in Pennsylvania as well.
The FAB Alliance and the Bed-Stuy Gateway BID have
undertaken extensive analysis of the local market and
have found that the spending power of the community’s
residents is growing and so is the demand for a more
attractive local commercial environment with more di-
verse retail offerings. The launch of these two new BIDs
coincides with a $10 million streetscape beautification
project by the City of New York, which will enhance the
visual appeal of the Fulton Street commercial area with
the addition of two new public plazas, new sidewalks,
trees, benches, additional lighting and other amenities.
PACC is committed to partnering with small businesses
along Fulton Street to help ensure their success. The
organization identifies and facilitates the use of avail-
able resources, such as the New York City Department
of Small Business Services (NYC SBS) Business Solu-
tions Center, which provides — at no cost — business
training; legal review of contracts and leases; and help
with the financing process, navigating government, em-
ployee recruitment and training, business plan develop-
ment and more.
LaShunda Davis, whose CURE Beauty Bar had been
providing top-quality services to neighborhood residents
for some time, went to PACC for business counseling
and a referral to the downtown Brooklyn Business So-
lutions Center when she opened her second business,
Grady’s Collective Market, in November 2009.
The Center staff steered her to available fast-track
loans, helped her refine her financial statements and
even connected her with a new accountant with low fees
and experience that was directly relevant to LaShunda’s
needs.
Grady’s, which features a florist, an accessories shop
and vintage clothing and furniture — and even boasts
a garden where visitors can repose — has been well-
received by the neighborhood. LaShunda participates
actively in the FAB Alliance’s meetings. She plans to
expand Grady’s soon with the addition of an organic
food grocery.
There are still vacancies and a tremendous potential for
improving the business mix in the area covered by the
FAB Alliance and the Bed-Stuy Gateway Bid. PACC’s
next Rolling Up the Gates event will be on April 24, 2010.

Donovan: HUD’s 2011 Budget Reasserts
Commitment to Rental Housing
By Donna Kimura | Housing Finance News
The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s
(HUD) proposed 2011 budget delivers a message, said
Secretary Shaun Donovan.
“It demonstrates that there’s a different kind of partner at
the federal level that’s committed to rental housing as a
fundamental strategy in the wake of a crisis that ought to
make us all step back and reassert that we need a bal-
anced housing policy in this country,” he said. “We need
to be focused not just on homeownership but also on
rental housing.”
Donovan pointed to the proposal’s full funding of project-
based Sec. 8 and a $1 billion commitment to the National
Housing Trust Fund as examples of the administration’s
commitment to rental housing.
During the prior administration, there were questions
about the federal government’s support of Sec. 8 and
other programs, said the nation’s top housing official.
“Without that stability and commitment on the part of the
federal government what we saw for our development
City, Citi finance a $400M affordable housing repair
By AMANDA FUNG | Crains
Twenty-one public housing complexes built by the state
and city of New York, mainly in Brooklyn and Manhattan,
will receive much needed repairs from more than $400
million in public and private funding.
The money was generated through the sale of the build-
ings to a limited partnership between the New York City
Housing Authority and Citigroup Inc.’s community devel-
opment arm.
The sale was announced Monday by NYCHA and the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in
the Lower East Side of Manhattan at Rutgers Houses,
a 20-story building with 1,675 residents that will benefit
from the funding.
Among the other buildings to receive funding are seven
in Brooklyn, including Bay View and Williams Plaza, sev-
en Manhattan buildings, including Rutgers, Drew-Hamil-
ton and Manhattanville, as well as five Bronx apartment
buildings and one in Staten Island.

partners is an eroding of trust and in the financing com-
munity an eroding of trust in the kind of partners that they
had at the federal level,” said Donovan.
In an interview with Affordable Housing Finance, Dono-
van also said the administration is not phasing out the
Secs. 202 and 811 programs despite proposed budget
cuts. He also said the administration is working on the
first-ever, comprehensive federal plan to prevent and
end homelessness.
The $48.5 billion budget proposal introduces the Trans-
forming Rental Assistance initiative, which seeks to sim-
plify and reform HUD’s rental assistance programs. The
plan provides $350 million to preserve approximately
300,000 units of public and assisted housing, increase
administrative efficiency at all levels of program opera-
tions, and enhance housing choice for residents.
The 2011 proposal also requests nearly $2.1 billion for
Homeless Assistance Grants, a $200 million increase
from the prior year.

“This is significant because of its scale in terms of num-
ber of buildings and units,” said William Frey, senior vice
president at Enterprise, a nonprofit that specializes in af-
fordable housing which was selected to advise NYCHA
on this deal. “This is a way to invest in these buildings,
provide long term reserves for is operation and preserve
its affordability.”
Renovations are expected to begin soon and will take
two years. The upgrades, which are expected to create
hundreds of construction jobs, will include brick work,
façade and roof repairs, elevator replacement, front and
rear entrance renovations and heating upgrades.
The 21 buildings were built after World War II without
any federal funding and their subsidies were eliminated
in 1995. Since then, NYCHA has maintained these build-
ings by using funds it receives for its 313 other develop-
ments. As a result of this deal, NYCHA no longer has to
tap into these funds and will cut its structural operating
deficit by up to $75 million.

BROOKLYN
Real Estate’s Crash Recasts a Scorned
Landlord as a Potential Savior
By CHARLES V. BAGLI | The New York Times
Tenant advocates and many of his own renters regard
Laurence Gluck as the scourge of subsidized middle-
class housing.
Tivoli Towers in Brooklyn needs millions in repairs. A
pending deal would have Laurence Gluck buy it and do
the work.
He has bought more than a dozen New York City com-
plexes since 2004 and removed rent ceilings from thou-
sands of apartments. He borrowed $250 million to buy
and renovate the storied Riverton Houses in Harlem,
pocketed tens of millions in profit and then lost the build-
ings in foreclosure earlier this month, leaving them an
early casualty of the speculative real estate boom.
But city and federal housing officials looking to rescue a
troubled development in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, have
begun viewing Mr. Gluck in a different light: as its pos-
sible savior.
The officials had tangled with Mr. Gluck for years over
his plans to buy the 33-story building, known as Tivoli
Towers. Now they are constructing a deal that would al-
WESTECHESTER
Builders Ponder a Housing Mandate
By CHARLES V. BAGLI | The New York Times
As Westchester tries to comply with a federal settlement
mandating the creation of affordable housing in mostly
white, well-to-do communities, the construction of low-
cost units continues in low-income, racially mixed areas.
330 Riverdale Avenue in Yonkers, affordable housing, is
now going up.
But the outlook for more such housing in the poorer cit-
ies is uncertain. Budget constraints and the focus of the
settlement, which calls for below-market-rate housing in
affluent towns like Bedford and Scarsdale that have little
or none, may limit county financing for affordable proj-
ects in cities like Mount Vernon, Peekskill, and Yonkers,
developers say.
Westchester officials said through Donna Greene, a
spokeswoman for Rob Astorino, the county executive,
that “Everything is currently under review based on both
the housing settlement and the county’s ongoing budget
issues.”
IN THE NEWS
low him to buy Tivoli for $11.25 million, while preserving
it as affordable housing until 2040. Mr. Gluck would be
required to spend about $15 million rehabilitating the bat-
tered building, which is plagued by faulty elevators, mold
and leaky roofs that flood certain floors when it rains.
The pending deal highlights the changing terrain as
speculators, investors, tenant advocates and housing of-
ficials adjust to the realities of the post-boom era. Prop-
erty values and rents at large complexes have fallen by
as much as 50 percent over the past two years. Fore-
closures are up, and lenders are no longer doling out
cheap loans to investors and speculators like Mr. Gluck,
whose company owns 24,000 apartments in New York,
Chicago, Washington and San Francisco.
But the proposal also illustrates the forgiving nature of
the real estate world, where an operator can walk away
from a financial disaster relatively unscathed, or even
better off, and where a down market is as much an op-
portunity as an up one. Marc Jahr, president of the city’s
Housing Development Corporation, said the choice was
stark.

Builders of affordable housing are concerned and appre-
hensive.
“There simply are not that many sources of funding for
this kind of housing,” said Ron Moelis, a developer of
low-cost housing in Yonkers. “To lose one of them would
make future projects that much more difficult.”
Steven Brown, the president of a nonprofit with a $35
million project for 105 affordable housing units in Yon-
kers on its drawing board, is also worried. Mr. Brown said
construction “would not be feasible” without the county’s
anticipated contribution of $6.75 million. Westchester
has indicated in the past that it would contribute to the
project, but no formal agreement has been signed.
Mr. Brown’s organization, the Greyston Foundation of
Yonkers, has tapped into a mix of city, county, state and
federal financing to build about 200 units of below-mar-
ket-rate housing in Yonkers since 1991.

the specific context of the recent wave of residential property foreclosures. In this context, proposals may address either short-
term or long-term patterns linking place and crime. Applications proposing research should explain how the proposed project will
fill a critical gap in the field’s knowledge and practice as well as identifying policy implications related to criminal justice.

Between 1970 and 2000, the home foreclosure rate in the United States did not rise above 1.1 percent. Between 2001 and 2006,
the foreclosure rate increased to as high as 20 percent. This abrupt shift in the 30-year pattern of foreclosures led researchers and
policymakers alike to question the effects of this issue on urban problems, including crime. This solicitation seeks research propos-
als to examine the links between foreclosures, vacant properties, and crime.

New York State Approves $2.27 Million to Build
and Rehab 181 Affordable Housing Units
(RealEstateRama) — The boards of the New York State
Housing Finance Agency (HFA) and the New York State
Affordable Housing Corporation (AHC) recently ap-
proved $2.27 million in funding to build and renovate
181 affordable housing units across the state.
The AHC board also authorized the agency to make
grants up to $1 million as part of Governor David A.
Paterson’s new Sustainable Neighborhoods Initiative,
which is aimed at revitalizing targeted neighborhoods
in upstate cities by funding the renovation of vacant or
blighted residential properties.
“These actions demonstrate that New York State con-
tinues to address its important housing needs even in
these difficult economic times,” the Governor said. “I am
particularly pleased that AHC will provide the Sustain-
able Neighborhood Initiative with the funding necessary
to help launch this important upstate project.”
In addition, the board of the New York State Municipal
Bond Bank Agency (MBBA), an affiliated agency, au-
thorized the issuance of up to $150 million in Recovery
Act Bonds to help finance the capital programs of six lo-
cal governments: Alleghany, Broome, Madison, Oneida
and Sullivan counties and the City of Ithaca.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said, “I commend
AHC and HFA for recognizing the importance of provid-
ing affordable housing for New Yorkers. It’s crucial that
we do not lose sight of the needs of low- and middle-
income families during these tough economic times and
that we continue to look for creative ways to meet those
needs.”
Senate Majority Conference Leader John L. Sampson
said, “Building and renovating affordable housing units

revitalize neighborhoods and open the door to home-
ownership for more New Yorkers. These grants provide
the opportunity to construct new affordable housing and
breathe fresh life into blighted or vacant homes, making
them safe and useful once again.”
Assembly Housing Chair Vito Lopez said, “Families
across the state are facing difficulties affording rent and
mortgage payments. Affordable housing is critical to the
well-being of individuals, families, and the economic
health of our communities. These grants will help New
Yorkers survive financially through the economic down-
turn.”
State Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada, Jr., who
also serves as Chairman of the Senate Standing Com-
mittee on Housing, Construction and Community De-
velopment, said, “It is important for state government,
even during difficult economic times, to fund capital
projects such as these because they provide the impe-
tus for economic recovery. This funding is a meaningful
investment in the state economy because it will revi-
talize communities, address affordable housing needs,
create good-paying jobs for local residents, and stimu-
late business for local contracting companies.”
Judd S. Levy, HFA and AHC chairman, said, “Our grants
will help create and renovate affordable housing in sev-
eral regions of the state. We also continue our empha-
sis on financing supportive housing by providing up to a
$250,000 grant to help build a homeless housing facility
in Binghamton.”

H0260 - Counseling Borrowers to Purchase Real Estate Owned (REO) Properties

“In today’s real estate market borrowers who are interested in purchasing a home will likely
consider the growing inventory of Real Estate Owned (REO) property. These properties
may offer attractive pricing, but also present hidden challenges and pitfalls to potential buy-
ers. Homeownership counselors, providing comprehensive individual counseling, can equip
clients with timely information to make informed decisions and protect their future asset.
Participants attending this course will learn:

Who is selling these properties (from nonprofits, municipalities, banks, etc.); How to assist
your client through careful analysis of the sales contract; How to engage home inspectors
and avoid the pitfalls of purchasing “”as is”” properties; How to determine if special financing
may be available for clients purchasing REO properties.; What are the counseling program
details of HUD’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and how to determine if this
program can help meet the needs of your clients.”

H0104 - Understanding Credit Scoring
Most lenders utilize credit scoring as a tool to help evaluate the credit risk of borrowers. This
is certainly the case with many mortgage lenders. Credit scores aid lenders in predicting how
creditworthy a borrower is or how likely they are to repay the debt. Many lenders also incor-
porate risk based pricing into their credit decisions based upon the credit score. With this
knowledge, homeownership educators and counselors are better prepared to help clients
improve their credit scores and positively impact their financial status.

Wednesday – Friday, May 19 – 21, 2010

H0108 – Loan Servicing and Collections

This course will review the policies, procedures and accounting systems that nonprofit lend-
ers and servicers must use to maintain their mortgage loan portfolios and prevent losses.
You will examine effective documentation systems and learn practical techniques for con-
trolling risks and avoiding default and foreclosure. Conventional and FHA default and loss
mitigation processes will be examined and discussed. Case studies are utilized through
interactive exercises as a learning tool. Recommended for staff, management and board
members concerned with improving servicing and collections operations.
