availability of funds from multiple district agencies, including DCHA, DHCD, the
Department of Behavioral Health, the Department of Human Services, and the District of
Columbia Housing Finance Agency. Of the 21 total proposals received, (11) developers
were chosen to work with DCHA and others to develop affordable housing and
permanent supportive housing units for extremely low-income families making zero to
thirty percent of the area’s median income, as well as the chronically homeless and
individuals with mental or physical disabilities throughout Washington, DC.
2
Aft
er meeting the requirements for DHCD review and LRSP subsidy eligibility,
proposals were evaluated on various underwriting and prioritization criteria including
financial feasibility, project sustainability, development team capacity, amount of capital
requested, nonprofit participation, and furtherance of the development of affordable
housing. Additionally, DCHA has determined that the proposed project meets the District
of Columbia’s Consolidated Plan and the Mayor’s goal for providing affordable housing
opportunities in neighborhoods.

(F) Th
e background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its
organization, financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current
government or private sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the
proposed contract:
Kennedy Gardens Apartments:
Kennedy Street Gardens (the "Project”) is the new construction of thirty -six (36) units of
affordable rental housing and 5,546 square feet of commercial space located at 145
Kennedy Street, NW. The Project will recast the headquarters of one of the nation’s most
prestigious historic black fraternities, Phi Beta Sigma.
The he
adquarters, located in Ward 4 will become a pillar of the community, hosting
community meetings, fraternity gatherings and reunions and housing essential DC
residents. The Project is a furtherance of Phi Beta Sigma’s mission, to effectively
embody a culture for service and service for humanity.
The pr
oject will be a mixed use affordable housing and commercial office site located in
one of Washington D.C.’s most prestigious neighborhoods (Priority Area). Residents and
tenants alike will have access to a number of neighborhood amenities and one of the
City’s best school districts. The Owner/Borrowing Entity of this property will be PBS
Property Holdings, LLC (the “Owner”). The Developer commits to executing a covenant
ensuring that this project remains affordable forever. The Owner will utilize a
combination of Low -Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) equity, bank or tax exempt
bond debt, DHCD loans, deferr ed developer fee, and net operating income to finance the
roughly $35MM development budget. The project will provide a substantial investment
and create new, high quality affordable housing units in an underserved area of
Washington, DC, and in a neighborhood, which has seen significant investment by
DHCD in recent years. This investment will further contribute to the change catalyzed by
DHCD through the other affordable properties in the neighborhood.
3
The unit mix calls for (1) one studio unit, nineteen (19) one bedroom units, six (6) two
bedroom units and ten (10) three bedroom units. Fifteen percent (15%) of the units will
be fully accessible, meeting the full Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)
requirements as well as Type A requirements. Spe cifically, e ight of he three bedroom
units will be reserved for permanent supportive housing. The Permanent Supportive
Housing units will be managed by an experienced and respected local non-profit
organization, Community Connections of DC (“CCDC”), who ha s extensive experi ence
providing intergenerational resident supportive services and the requisite community
connection to ensure a project that is beloved by both its residents and the surrounding
community.
Ou
r project will leverage its extensive amenity space, to foster engagement between the
resident families and seniors. Community Rooms and Gathering Spaces, complete with
kitchenettes, will be available to the residents and their guests on the sixth floor. The
sixth-floor community space will also have an exterior patio and grill with incredible
views of Washington D.C. Each design decision was done with the well -being of our
residents in mind. The ground floor will house the Phi Beta Sigma headquarters and
Museum. The Project will create both a seat of business for the Fraternity and a unique
cultural institution that will drive diverse tourism to the site.
The
Project has been designed to meet the Passive House Requirements. One of the
required design components of achieving this certification is the inclusion of solar arrays.
The development team plans to pursue energy financing and any additional financing
sources available will be used to reduce the DHCD loan amount.

This memorandum responds to a request that the Office of the General Counsel review the proposed Agreement to Enter

DCHA proposes to provide a housing subsidy for Eight (8) units in the initial amount of $255,552.00 annually for a
multi-year term of twenty (2 0) years in support of the District’s Local Rent Supplement Program (“LRSP”) to provide
affordable housing units at 145 Kennedy Street NW.
1) Description of the Contract
The Contract is an ALTSC to provide operating subsid y for rental assistance to be provided by DCHA on affordable
housing units owned and operated by the Owner pursuant to the Local Rent Supplement Program established under Title
II of the Fiscal Year 2007 Budget Support Act of 2006.
2) Procurement Process
In June 2019, the District of Columbia’s Department of Housing and Community Development (“DHCD”) issued a
Request for Proposals (“RFP”) regarding the availability of funds from multiple district agencies, including DCHA,
DHCD, the Department of Behavioral Health, the Department of Human Services, and the District of Columbia Housing
Finance Agency. Of the twenty -one (21) total proposals received, eleven (11) developers were chosen to work with
DCHA and others to develop affordable housing and permanent suppo rtive housing units for extremely low income
families making zero to thirty percent of the area’s median income, as well as the chronically homeless and individuals
with mental or physical disabilities throughout Washington, DC.
After meeting the requirem ents for DHCD review and LRSP subsidy eligibility, proposals were evaluated on various
underwriting and prioritization criteria including financial feasibility, project sustainability, development team capacity,
amount of capital requested, nonprofit parti cipation, and furtherance of the development of affordable housing.
Additionally, DCHA has determined that the proposed project meets the District of Columbia’s Consolidated Plan and
the Mayor’s goal for providing affordable housing opportunities in neighborhoods.
3) Legal Review
Prior to September 25, 2025 the Office of the General Counsel reviewed the Contract for legal sufficiency. The review
indicates a competitive process was followed in making the award to the Owner. Additionally, it was determined that
the proposed contractor is not currently debarred from providing services or goods to the District or federal government.
The review of the Contract indicates that it is legally sufficient.
3

Contract must be submitted to the District of Columbia Council for review and approval in accordanc e with D.C. Code

the D.C. Housing Authority Rent Supplement Act of 2006, as amended or as provided in
subsequent appropriation authority of the District of Columbia.

to complete the work on units(s) in accordance with Exhibit B. When the work is complete, the

construction. The Owner agrees to require from each prospective contractor a
certification that neither the contractor nor its principals is presently debarred,
suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded

department or agency. The Owner agrees not to award contracts to, otherwise
e
ngage the services of, or fund any contractor that does not provide this
certification.
B. Injury Resulting from Work under the Agreement. DCHA has not assumed and does not
assume any responsibility for or liability to any person, including a worker or a resident,
w
ith respect to the unit undergoing work pursuant to this Agreement, injured as a result
of the work or as a result of any other action or failure to act by Owner, or any contractor,
s
ubcontractor or supplier.
C. Legal Relationship. The Owner is not the agent of DCHA, and this Agreement does not
create or affect any relationship between DCHA and any lender to the Owner or any
s
uppliers, employees, contractors or subcontractors used by the Owner in the
implementation of the Agreement.
D. Exclusion of Third Party Claims. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
creating any right of any third party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or the
LTSC, or to assert any claims against the Government of the District of Columbia,
DCHA or the Owner under the Agreement or the LTSC.
E. Exclusion of Owner Claims Against District of Columbia. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as creating any right of the Owner to assert any claim against the
G
overnment of the District of Columbia other than for the enforcement of this
Agreement.

the Agreement or LTSC.

B. Disclosure. The Owner warrants that the Owner has disclosed to DCHA:
1. The
identity of the Owner, developer, builder, architect, management agent (and
other participants) and the names of officers and principal members,
shareholders, investors, and other parties having a substantial interest in this
Agreement or the LTSC or in any proceeds or benefits arising from the
Agreement or LTSC; and
2. Any pos

ember of or delegate to the Congress of the United States of America or resident
commissioner shall be admitted to any share or part of this Agreement or to any benefits which

A. Th
e Owner agrees that the Owner has not made and will not make any transfer in any
form, including any sale or assignment, of this Agreement or the LTSC or the property
without the prior written consent of DCHA. A change in ownership in the Owner, such
as a stock transfer or transfer of the interest of the investor member, is not subject to the
provisions of this section, except for such notice required in Section 1.12.C. Transfer of
the interest of a managing member of a limited liability company is subject to the
provisions of this Section 1.12.
Whe
re the Owner requests the consent of DCHA for a transfer in any form, including any
sale or assignment, of this Agreement or the LTSC or the property, DCHA will review
the transferee’s previous participation in the Housing Choice Voucher Program and the
LRSP, if any. DCHA will consent to a transfer of the Agreement or LTSC pursuant to
paragraph A of this section if DCHA deems the transferee acceptable and the transferee
agrees in writing (in a form acceptable to DCHA) to comply with all terms of the
Agreement and LTSC, and if the transferee is acceptable to DCHA. DCHA’s criteria for
acceptance of the transferee will be no more restrictive than the initial acceptance of any
Owner under the program at the time of Owner’s request.
B. If
an Owner proposes to pledge the Agreement or the LTSC as security for financing,
Owner shall obtain DCHA’s prior written consent of any assignment and submit all
financing documents to DCHA for review and approval. The loan documents submitted

C. Owner may make any sale, assignment, or transfer of a passive, non-controlling interest
in the ownership entity (such as a stock transfer or transfer of the interest of a limited
liability company or limited liability partner); provided that Owner provides written
n
otification to DCHA within five (5) days of such transfer of interest. For any sale,
assignment, or transfer of any ownership interest in any general partner or managing

prior to any transfer of interest in any general partner or managing member.
1.13. Owner Assurance to DCHA.

related assistance shall include, but not be limited to, any loan, grant, guarantee,
i
nsurance, payment, rebate, subsidy credit, tax benefit, or any other form of direct or
indirect assistance. Rental subsidy payments under the LTSC shall not be more than is

affordable housing after taking account of such related assistance. DCHA shall adjust in
accordance with LRSP requirements the amount of the housing assistance payments to
t
he Owner to compensate in whole or in part for such related assistance.

(4) Apprentice and Trainees.

(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed
pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in
his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an
apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but
who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary
employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen
on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered
program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not
registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate of the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project
in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage
rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the
contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every
Apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid hinge benefits in accordance with provisions of the
apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe
benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the
wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice
classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the
event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less
than the Applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.

(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to
work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has
received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of
trainees to journeymen on the job shall not be greater than permitted under the
plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee
must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the
trainee’s level of progress, expressed as percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe

benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee
program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program
associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage
determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices.
Any Employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed. In the event the
Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a program. The
contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.

(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and
journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment
opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended and 29 CFR,
Part 30.

(5) Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements. The contractor shall comply with the
requirements of 29 CFR, Part 3 which are incorporated by references in this contract.

contained in sections 2.4(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as HUD or the

requiring the subcontractor to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The
prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower
tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section 2.4(a).

(7) Contract terminations debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be
grounds for termination of the contract and for debarment as a contractor and a
subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.

(8) Compliance with David-Bacon and Related Act Requirements. All rulings and
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and related acts contained in 29 CFR, Parts 1, 3 and 5
are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.

(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes Arising out of the labor standards
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this
contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the
Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6 and 7. Disputes within the meaning

EXHIBIT B
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Kennedy Street Gardens (the "Project”) is the new construction of 36 units of affordable rental
housing and 5,546 square feet of commercial space located at 145 Kennedy Street, NW . The Project will
recast the headquarters of one of the nation’s most prestigious historic black fraternities, Phi Beta Sigma.
The headquarters, located in Ward 4 will become a pillar of the community, hosting community meetings,
fraternity gatherings and reunions and housing essential DC residents. The Project is a furtherance of Phi
Beta Sigma’s mission, to effectively embody a culture for service and service for humanity.
The project will be a mixed use affordable housing and commercial office site located in one of
Washington D.C.’s most prestigious neighborhoods (Priority Area). Residents and tenants alike will have
access to a number of neighborhood amenities and one of the City’s best school districts. The
Owner/Borrowing Entity of this property will be a Phi Beta Sigma Inc, LLC through a subsidiary PBS
Property Holdings LLC (the “Owner”). The Developer commits to executing a covenant ensuring that
this project remains affordable forever.
The Owner will utilize a combination of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) equity, bank or tax-
exempt bond debt, DHCD loans, deferred developer fee, and net operating income to finance the roughly
$35MM development budget. The project will provide a substantial investment and create new, high
quality affordable housing units in an underserved area of Washington, DC, and in a neighborhood, which
has seen significant investment by DHCD in recent years. This investment will further contribute to the
change catalyzed by DHCD through the other affordable properties in the neighborhood.
The unit mix calls for (1) one studio unit, nineteen (19) one bedroom units, six (6) two bedroom units and
ten (10) three bedroom units. Fifteen percent (15%) of the units will be fully accessible, meeting the full
Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) requirements as well as Type A requirements. Eight of
the three bedroom units will be reserved for permanent supportive housing. The Permanent Supportive
Housing units will be managed by an experienced and respected local non-profit organization,
Community Connections of DC (“CCDC”), who has extensive experience providing intergenerational
resident supportive services and the requisite community connection to ensure a project that is beloved by
both it’s residents and the surrounding community.
Our project will leverage its extensive amenity space, to foster engagement between the resident families
and seniors. Community Rooms and Gathering Spaces, complete with kitchenettes, will be available to
the residents and their guests on the sixth floor. The sixth-floor community space will also have an
exterior patio and grill with incredible views of Washington D.C. Each design decision was done with
the wellbeing of our residents in mind.
The ground floor will house the Phi Beta Sigma headquarters and Museum. The Project will create both a
seat of business for the Fraternity and a unique cultural institution that will drive diverse tourism to the
site.
The Project has been designed to meet the Passive House Requirements. One of the required design
components of achieving this certification is the inclusion of solar arrays. The development team plans to
pursue energy financing and any additional financing sources available will be used to reduce the DHCD
loan amount.
In addition to Phi Beta Sigma, the project will be developed by Legacy Real Estate Development LLC,
(“Legacy”) is a Certified Business Enterprise Affordable Housing Developer based in Washington D.C.
founded by Donahue Peebles, III. Legacy is quickly growing a national presence with projects in various
stages of development in Washington D.C., Wisconsin, and California. Recently Legacy has commenced
construction on 41 units of affordable housing in Congress Heights at 17 Mississippi Ave SE and has
been selected to develop 75 additional units at 737 50th Street NE in Deanwood.
Additional members of the development team include seasoned DC affordable housing players such as
Hamel Builders, Inc. of Washington D.C. as the General Contractor, Michael Graves Architecture, as the
architect of record, Gateway Management as the management agent and Mutreja Development LLC as
the Development Consultant.

6.6. District Funding Availability.

greater than the ratio of the loss in total Rental Subsidy compared to the
prior year.

If there are no vacant Contract Unit(s) when Owner receives notice from

that DCHA reallocate Rental Subsidy such that the decreased amount of
Rental Subsidy be allocated among the number of units under the LTSC

Contract Unit(s), which number shall: (i) not be greater than the ratio of the
loss in total Rental Subsidy compared to the prior year and (ii) not exceed
the actual number of vacant units.

For example, a LTSC has ten (10) Contract Units eligible for a maximum
of $1,000 Rental Subsidy per month, for an annual allocation of $120,000
in Rental Subsidy, assuming there is $0 Tenant Rent in that year. In the

own illness, injury or other health-related needs,
including

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included
within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract
clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

The body of each wage determinationlists the
classifications
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailingfor
the
type(s) of constructionand geographicarea coveredby the
wage
determination.The classificationsare listed in
alphabetical
order under rate identifiersindicatingwhether the
particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a
survey
rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate,
ora
supplementalclassificationrate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letteridentifierbeginningwith charactersother
than
"'su"", “"UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate
was
prevailingfor that classificationin the survey.Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union
whose collectivelybargainedrate prevailedin the survey
for
this classification,which in this examplewould be
Plumbers.
0198 indicatesthe local union number or districtcouncil
number where applicable,i.e., PlumbersLocal 0198. The
next
number, 005 in the example,is an internalnumber used in
processingthe wage determination.The date, 07/01/2024in
the
example,is the effectivedate of the most current
negotiated
rate.
Union prevailingwage rates are updated to reflect all
changes
over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collectivebargainingagreement (CBA)governingthe
classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed
for
those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported
for
the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a
weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of
Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number
used in producing the wage determination. The date,
01/01/2024
in the example, indicates the date the wage determination
was
updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in
January,to
reflecta weightedaverage of the current rates in the
collectivebargainingagreementson which the rate is
based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""su"" identifier indicates that either a single non-
union
rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classificationin the survey or that the rate was derived
by
computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates
reportedin the survey for that classification.As a
weighted
average rate includesall rates reportedin the survey,it
may
includeboth union and non-unionrates. Example:SUFL2022-
007
6/27/2024.SU indicatesthe rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for
that
classification.FL indicatesthe State of Florida.2022 is
the
year of the survey on which these classificationsand rates
are
based. The next number, 007 in the example,is an internal
number used in producingthe wage determination.The date,
6/27/2024in the example, indicatesthe survey completion
date
for the classificationsand rates under that identifier.
?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new
survey
is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has
the
discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications
and
prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government
were
adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007
01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted.
ME
refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which
the
state completed the survey on which the listed
classifications
and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example
is an
internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on
which
the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier
took
effect under state law in the state from which the rates
were
adopted.
