NOTE: Each recipient of an allocation of credits will be required to record an extended use agreement as
required by the IRC governing the use of the development for low-income housing for at least 30 years.
However, the IRC provides that, in certain circumstances, such extended use period may be terminated early.
This development will be subject to the standard extended use agreement which permits early
termination (after the mandatory 15-year compliance period) of the extended use period.
This development will be subject to an extended use agreement in which the owner's right to any
early termination of the extended use provision is waived for 25 additional years after the 15-
year compliance period for a total of 40 years. Do not select if IX.B is checked below.
This development will be subject to an extended use agreement in which the owner's right to any
early termination of the extended use provision is waived for 35 additional years after the 15-
year compliance period for a total of 50 years. Do not select if IX.B is checked below.
1. After the mandatory 15-year compliance period, a qualified nonprofit as identified in the
attached nonprofit questionnaire, or local housing authority will have the option to purchase
or the right of first refusal to acquire the development for a price not to exceed the outstanding
debt and exit taxes. Do not select if extended compliance is selected in IX.A above.

The following calculation of the amount of credits needed is substantially the same as the calculation which will be made by
VHDA to determine, as required by the IRC, the amount of credits which may be allocated for the development. However, VHDA
at all times retains the right to substitute such information and assumptions as are determined by VHDA to be reasonable for the
information and assumptions provided herein as to costs (including development fees, profits, etc.), sources for funding,
expected equity, etc. Accordingly, if the development is selected by VHDA for a reservation of credits, the amount of such
reservation may differ significantly from the amount you compute below.

herewith is true and correct, and all estimates are reasonable.

RESUME
Holly Ridge Limited Partnership
aka/ The Park at Scotts Crossing Apartments
A subsidiary of RHA/Housing, Inc., is the sole general partner of Holly Ridge Apartments Limited Partnership,
which is the owner of Park at Scotts Crossing Apartments ("Scotts Crossing"). Through its subsidiary,
RHA/Housing owns a .0072% ownership interest in Scotts Crossing.
Scotts Crossing was a 2003 acquisition rehabilitation of a 30-year old apartment project financed with a combination
of a conventional loan from a bank and a CDBG loan from the City of Atlanta (payable solely from cash flow). The
project was developed by TC&G Tax Credit Development, LLC, whose principals personally guaranteed the
construction loan and limited operating deficits. Hammond Development, Inc., is a 15% member of TC&G Tax
Credit Development, LLC, and Gary Hammond is the sole owner of Hammond Development, Inc.
The tax credits were guaranteed for the investor by a substantial financial organization that guaranteed the fund for
the syndicator. The syndicator (Capmark) is no longer syndicating as it is going through a bankruptcy/restructuring.
RHA/Housing, Inc., provided no guarantees to anyone on the project and its only role is as general partner.
Problems receiving the equity payments were acerbated further with unforeseen moisture problems with the
renovated units, extremely high operating costs, and a depressed market in the City of Atlanta. All of these issues
have contributed to the project’s inability to generate sufficient net operating income to pay the required debt service
on the first mortgage loan. TC&G has funded an additional $1,000,000 in construction completion guarantees to
help eliminate the moisture problems. TC&G also funded operating deficits in excess of their maximum guaranty
($650,000). RHA/Housing, Inc., although not subject to the guarantees, has funded more than $100,000 in operating
costs to help with the efforts of TC&G to service the debt while the issues are resolved through a restructuring plan.
A restructuring plan has been submitted to the lender and equity guarantor to resolve the construction and operating
issues.
The bank loan is not guaranteed by HUD, USDA, or any other governmental entity.
RHA/Housing is in good standing with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. Furthermore, Kells Carroll
with Wells Fargo, Bill Tilly with AMLC, and John Rucker with Merchant Capital can all act as references for RHA.
While RHA Housing has well in excess of ten very successful new construction projects, it recognizes that it needs
to be upfront in its application and fully reveal the situation involving this one problem property.

The Gardens at Almond Creek
This Marketing Plan for Units Which Conform to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (the “Marketing
Plan”) has been designed to convey to current and potential residents with disabilities that The Gardens at
Almond Creek will be a new rental housing experience, with a commitment to excellent management and
resident service, as well as an expectation of resident responsibility. Therefore, the majority of this plan
will address ways in which property management will endeavor to secure qualified tenants, ensure quality
tenancy, and effective management and maintenance of the property.
The Management Agent will be responsible for the management of The Gardens at Almond Creek. The
Management Agent will be responsible for all of the traditional management functions, including rent
collection, maintenance, record keeping, reports, development of budgets, and monitoring resident income
qualifications. Additionally, the Management Agent will be responsible for the development and
management of community and resident services program.
I. Affirmative Marketing
The Management Agent is pledged to the letter and the spirit of the U.S. policy of the achievement of equal
housing opportunity throughout the Nation and will actively promote fair housing in the development and
marketing of this project. The Management Agent’s Officers, Directors and employees will not
discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, religion, familial status, elderliness, disability or sexual
orientation in its programs or housing. They will also comply with all provisions of the Fair Housing Act
(42 U.S.C. 3600, et. Seq.).
Any employee who has discriminated in the acceptance of a resident will be subject to immediate
dismissal. All persons who contact the office will be treated impartially and equally with the only
qualification necessary for application acceptance being income and credit, and conformity with the
requirements of the Section 8 Program and Tax Credit programs. All interested parties will be provided a
copy of the apartment brochure. Any resident who has questions not answered by the housing staff will be
referred to the Associate Director or the Executive Director of the Management Agent.
Any unit which is designated as a unit for people with disabilities and that conforms to Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act will be held vacant as long as it takes to find a qualified tenant.
Locating people with disabilities to occupy the units which conform to the requirements of Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act will be accomplished as follows:
1. Networking
The Management Agent will contact local centers for independent living and disability services
boards and other service organizations via phone and printed communication. The contacts will
include the following organizations:
A/72428543.1 1
• Commonwealth of Virginia: Rehabilitative Services (800-552-5019)
2. Print Media
Print media sources will also be identified in the Richmond area that cater to people with
disabilities as well as the public at large. These sources may include, but are not limited to rental
magazines such as the Apartment Shoppers Guide, Apartments For Rent, local newspapers, etc.
All advertising materials related to the project will contain the Equal Housing Opportunity
logotype, slogan or statement, in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, as well as the fact the
units for people with disabilities are available.
3. Resident Referrals
An effective Resident Referral program will be set up, in which current residents are rewarded for
referring friends, coworkers, and others who may have disabilities to the property. These referrals
are generally the best form of advertising as it attracts friends who will want to reside together,
thus binding the community. Residents will be offered incentives, to be determined, for referring
qualified applicants who rent at the property. Flyers will be distributed to residents along with
the project newsletter announcing the tenant referral program.
4. Marketing Materials
Additional marketing materials are needed in order to further support the specific marketing effort
to people with disabilities. All printed marketing materials will include the EHO logo. The
marketing will also emphasize the physical and administrative compliance with Americans with
Disabilities Act.
• Brochures –A simple, two color brochures can be produced at low cost which will effectively
sell the apartments and community. This brochure will include the floor plans, a listing of
features and amenities. The floor plans should be printed in as large a format as possible.
• Flyers - As mentioned earlier, a flyer campaign can be used effectively to market the
community. Each flyer should incorporate graphics as well as a small amount of copy and
should be designed to generate traffic.
• Resident Referral - The least expensive form of advertising is through Resident Referrals. A
flyer should be created and distributed to all residents. ($50 per referral, paid upon move in).
In addition to being distributed to all residents, the referral flyer should be left in the
Management office and should be included in the move in packet. (People are most inclined
to refer their friends in the first few weeks of their tenancy.) The flyers should be changed
several times each year to reflect the season or any type of special referral program.
A/72428543.1 2
III. Public and Community Relations
Equal Housing Opportunity promotions - all Site Signage containing the EHO logo and Fair Housing
posters are displayed in English and Spanish in the Rental Office. The Management Agent encourages and
supports an affirmative marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of
race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation,
family responsibilities, physical or mental handicap, political affiliation, source of income, or place of
residence or business.
Additionally, a public relations program will be instituted to create a strong relationship between
management and local disability organizations, neighborhood civic organizations, churches, mosques, and
synagogues, city officials, and other sources of potential qualified residents still to be identified.
The first contact with the management operations is an important one in attracting qualified residents;
therefore the management/leasing offices should convey a sense of professionalism, efficiency, and
cleanliness. The management/leasing office is designed to provide a professional leasing atmosphere, with
space set aside specifically for resident interviews and application assistance. The leasing interviews will be
used to emphasize the respect afforded to the resident and the responsibilities which the resident will be
expected to assume.
Times of Operation - the Management Office will be open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 A.M. to
4:30 P.M. Applicants will be processed at the Management Office in accordance with approved criteria.
Move-in process and orientation to property - applicants meet with the Housing Manager or designated
staff to discuss programs available on the property and will be supplied relevant information to assist them
in their move.
On-site staff will check previous landlord and personal references, verify income, perform criminal/sex
offender and credit background checks for each application taken. Tenant Selection will include minimum
income limits assigned by the Owner. New tenants will be given an orientation to the property including a
review of the rules and regulations, information on the area, proper use of appliances, move-out procedures,
maintenance procedures, rent payment procedures, energy conservation, grievance procedures and a review
of the Lease documents.
• Application Processing
Application processing will be done by the housing staff at the Management Office, well versed in
Fair Credit Law. As stated before, the processing will include a review of prior landlord
references, personal references, criminal/sex offender and credit reporting and income
verification. The on-site staff will make further review for inaccuracies in the application.
The annual income and family composition are the key factors for determining eligibility.
However, the Property Manager will also use the following criteria in selecting applicants for
occupancy:
A/72428543.1 3
Applicants must meet the current eligibility income limits for tax credits and any other
program requirements.
Note- If the applicant's denial is based upon a credit report, the applicant will be advised of
the source of the credit report in accordance with the Federal Fair Reporting Act. Guidelines
published by the Federal Trade Commission suggest that apartment managers fall under the
provisions of the Act and are obligated to advise the person refused an apartment for credit
reasons, the name and address of the credit reporting firm in writing. The credit report will not
be shown to the applicant, nor will specific information be revealed.
We will process the Rental Applications through a credit bureau to determine the credit
worthiness of each applicant. If the score is below your threshold, but you have determined
the applicant has no bad credit and no negative rental history and no criminal history and
enough income to qualify, then you can conditionally approve the application after you have
contacted the prior landlord. In these cases, the application must be reviewed by the Associate
Director before final approval.
We will process the Rental Application through a credit bureau to determine any possible
criminal conduct. Convictions will be considered, regardless of whether "adjudication" was
withheld. A criminal background check will be used as part of the qualifying criteria. An
applicant will automatically be denied if;
• There is a conviction for the manufacture, sale, distribution, or possession with the intent to
manufacture, sell or distribute a controlled substance within the past five years.
• There is evidence in the criminal history that reveals that the applicant has developed a pattern
of criminal behavior, and such behavior presents a real or potential threat to residents and/or
property.
• The application will be suspended if an applicant or member of the applicant's family
has been arrested for a crime but has not yet been tried. The application will be
reconsidered, within the above guidelines, after such legal proceedings have been
concluded.
Applicants must provide complete and accurate verification of all income of all family
members. The household’s annual income may not exceed the applicable limit and the
household must meet the subsidy or assisted Income Limits as established for the area in
which The Gardens at Almond Creek is located. The annual income is compared to the area’s
Income Limits to determine eligibility.
Applicants must provide verification of full-time student status for all individuals listed on the
application as full-time student for tax credit units.
Applicants must not receive a poor credit rating from the Credit Bureau and other credit
reporting agencies and must demonstrate an ability to pay rent on time.
Applicants must provide a doctor's statement and/or other proof of any handicap or disability
if required.
Applicants must provide a birth certificate or other acceptable HUD approved forms of
documentation for all household members.
Applicants must fill out the Application for Lease and all verification forms truthfully.
A/72428543.1 4
Applicants must provide all information required by current Federal regulations and policies.
Applicants must have the demonstrated ability to pay the rent for the proposed unit, without
spending a disproportionate amount of income for rent.
Applicants must meet current Federal program eligibility requirements for tax credits and any
other programs.
Preference will be given to those households whose family members are handicapped or
disabled for housing in the units specifically designated for the handicapped or disabled.
Applicants who meet the above criteria will be placed on a waiting list based on the date and
time of their application. If an applicant turns down a unit for any reason, the applicant will be
moved to the bottom of the waiting list. If the applicant turns down a unit for any reason a
second time, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list.
