Turning Point Program

STATE-WIDE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMOUR MOST KEY PROGRAM, TURNING POINT PROGRAM EXISTS TO APPROACH DEVELOPERS, LENDERS, CITIES AND COUNTIES IN OREGON AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND PROPOSE A MINIMAL PROVISION FOR THOSE FLEEING AND HEALING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: THAT THERE BE AT LEAST ONE 24-MONTH GRANT HOUSING UNIT PER EACH 1,100 SQUARE MILES OF URBAN OREGON, OR AT LEAST 1,100 HOUSING UNITS IN OREGON. TURNING POINT PROGRAM WILL PROPOSE TO FOLLOW AND FULFILL THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS X-YEAR PLAN TO DEVELOP OR RE-DEVELOP SPECIFIC PROPERTY INTO THEIR PREFERRED OF A RANGE OF MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING ECONOMIC DESIGNS INCLUDING LOW-INCOME, AFFORDABLE, DISABILITY OR MARKET-RATE (AS LONG AS THE SPREADSHEETS CAN DISPLAY PROVISIONS FOR LOAN PAY-OUT, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE) FOR THE PURPOSE OF YIELDING ONE OR MORE 24-MONTH GRANT HOUSING DWELLING, ALL TOWARD THE GOAL OF HAVING 1,100 GRANT HOUSING UNITS ACROSS THE 71 URBAN CENTERS OF OREGON. SPREADING THE TURNING POINT PROGRAM 24-MO GRANT HOUSING FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS ACROSS OREGON IS A CRITICAL STEP TO REMOVING VICTIMS FROM THEIR IMMEDIATE VICINITY WITHOUT BREAKING LAWS REGARDING FLIGHT WITH MINOR CHILDREN FROM A COUNTY IN A DIVORCE PROCESS. WHILE THE FOCUS OF TURNING POINT PROGRAM IS MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING GRANT-HOUSING FOR THOSE FLEEING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TURNING POINT PROGRAM IS NOT A DV-CRISIS CENTER AND WILL DEPEND ON AND WITH COOPERATIVELY WITH OTHER TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES INCLUDING NON-PROFIT OR MUNICIPAL DV-CRISIS CENTERS (IN SOME COUNTIES, FAMILY JUSTICE CENTERS AND IN OTHER LOCATIONS SUPPORTED BY CITY OR COUNTY SHERIFF SPONSORSHIP) TO ENCOURAGE THOSE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRISIS TO USE LIFE-SAVING CRISIS PROGRAMS THAT ARE CRITICAL FIRST PHASES OF ESCAPE, SUCH AS THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ADDRESS CONFIDENTIALITY PROGRAM, OREGON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE GRANT ($1100), RESTRAINING ORDERS, SAFETY PLANNING AND FREE LEGAL ADVICE WHERE AVAILABLE. LOCAL NON-PROFIT/GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DV-CRISIS CENTERS THAT TURNING POINT PROGRAM WILL COOPERATE WITH AS POSSIBLE INCLUDE: THE GATEWAY CENTER OF MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON, A SAFE PLACE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON, AND THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON. TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT OR MUNICIPAL ENTITIES THAT MAY BECOME PARTNERS WITH TURNING POINT PROGRAM IN MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT LLCS, INCLUDE NPD RX (EXEMPT-APPLIED EIN 83-0671556) WHICH PROVIDES SURVIVOR ADVOCACY, SUPPORT-GROUPS, DV-ADVOCACY IN PUBLIC FORUMS WITH THE SURVIVORS, DV-PACKET PREPARATION (CONSTRUCTION OF THE SURVIVORS OWN HISTORY IN THE FORM OF A REPORT, WHICH TASK IS GENERALLY TOO FRAUGHT WITH PTSD FOR A SURVIVOR TO COMPLETE WITHOUT HELP) AND MANY OTHER SERVICES THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR THE SURVIVOR TO ESCAPE A MALIGNANT ABUSER AND RELEARN SURVIVOR VOCALIZATION TO SELF-ADVOCATE, A LIFE SKILL AND PARTNERS FOR HEALTHY STUDENTS (EIN 27-280103) WHICH PROVIDES HEALTH EDUCATION THAT MEETS THE CRITERIA OF ADDRESSING HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS DYNAMICS. SUCH ENTITIES WILL BECOME (SEE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING) JOINT-OWNERS OF LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES THAT WILL OWN EACH MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY (PROFITS AND LOSSES PER LOCATION CONTAINED TO EACH LOCATION, TO PREVENT CO-MINGLING OF FUNDS OR CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION). THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO STATE, COUNTY OR FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR TAX CREDITS (TC) AND OTHER MUNICIPAL OR MULTI-PURPOSE BONDS TO CONSTRUCT MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS FOR FAMILIES ESCAPING OR RECOVERING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, THOUGH PROGRAMS FOR MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT (AFFORDABLE HOUSING, DISABILITY HOUSING, LOW-INCOME HOUSING, MARKET-RATE OR OTHER) CAN BE UTILIZED TO CONSTRUCT THE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING UNITS, SATISFY THE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS (AND MEET A MUNICIPALITYS GOALS) AND MAY ALLOW SOME DV-AFFECTED OCCUPANCY, AND THEN AFTER PAY OUT ALLOW MORE UNITS FREE AND CLEAR FOR 24-MONTH GRANT HOUSING FOR FAMILIES ESCAPING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. AN EXAMPLE OF A LEGAL BY-PASS: ALLOWING AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING FACILITY OR ANY OTHER SUCH TAX CREDIT FUNDED FACILITY TO HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL CAPACITY RESERVED FOR PARTIES ESCAPING OR RECOVERING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (CURRENTLY NOT A PROTECTED CLASS IN FAIR HOUSING RULES) IS THAT AS NET-REVENUE FLOWS BACK TO THE OWNERSHIP OF THE FACILITY (THE JOINT-OWNERS: EXEMPT OR MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE AGREED TO ALLOCATE THEIR FLOW-THROUGH FOR DV SURVIVOR 24-MONTH GRANT HOUSING) THE LLC MAY (AT MARKET-RATE) SETTLE PORTIONS OF THE FACILITY (LOAN) THAT ARE THE TC- DESIGNATED MARKET-RATE UNITS, WITHOUT UPSETTING THE TC GUIDELINES. THE JOINT-OWNERS THEN PROVIDE (MARKET-RATE) 24-MONTH GRANT-HOUSING TO DV SURVIVORS INSIDE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. AS LONG AS THE FACILITY KEEPS THE FAIR HOUSING AND TAX-CREDIT PROGRAM GUIDELINES, MANY TC PROGRAMS CAN BE USED BY THE (EXEMPT) JOINT-OWNERS (FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING DV SURVIVOR-NEEDS) OF LLCS TO CONSTRUCT MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT CAN BECOME INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE (AS THE TC GUIDELINES LIFT AND DEBT BECOMES SATISFIED) AS GRANT-HOUSING FOR FAMILIES FLEEING OR RECOVERING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SO IT IS THAT TURNING POINT PROGRAM WILL WORK WITH EACH MUNICIPALITY TO BOTH MEET THE MUNICIPALITYS HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT GOALS AS WELL AS TURNING POINT PROGRAMS GOAL OF CREATING AT LEAST 1 MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING PER EACH OF OREGONS 1,100 URBAN SQUARE MILES. DISTRIBUTING THE AVAILABLE UNITS FOR GRANT-HOUSING ACROSS THE STATE WILL ALLOW FAMILIES TO BOTH ESCAPE AND NOT CROSS THE LINES THAT WOULD ALLOW AN ABUSER TO ASSERT THE RIGHTS AGAINST CHILD ABDUCTION THAT FAMILY COURTS (WHICH CURRENTLY ASSUME THAT ALL PARENTS ARE HEALTHY AND EQUALLY NURTURING OF CHILDREN) AFFORD MARRIED PARTNERS. WORKING WITH AND NOT AGAINST THE CURRENT POLICIES AND LAWS IS CRITICAL TO THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF TURNING POINT PROGRAM. WHEN TURNING POINT PROGRAM HAS MET THE GOAL OF 1 UNIT PER URBAN SQUARE MILE, TURNING POINT PROGRAM WILL EXTEND OUR GOAL TO 2 DWELLING UNITS PER URBAN SQUARE MILE, AND SO ON, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS FINDING HOUSING IS NO LONGER LISTED IN STATE SURVEYS AMONG THE TOP 3 OBSTACLES OF ESCAPING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. TYPES OF HOUSING PROGRAMS THAT TURNING POINT PROGRAM MAY DEVELOP: SMALL-SCALE MARKET-RATE DWELLINGS: 2 TO 20 UNITSMEDIUM TO LARGE-SCALE MARKET-RATE DWELLINGS: 20-300 UNITSMEDIUM-TO-LARGE SCALE AFFORDABLE OR LOW-INCOME DWELLINGS: 10 TO 300 UNITSMEDIUM-TO-LARGE SCALE DISABILITY DWELLINGS 10-300 UNITSIN SUCH CASES THAT THE PROGRAM (FOR INSTANCE, DISABILITY HOUSING) REQUIRES EXPERTISE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF CONSTRUCTION AND MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE RECOVERING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TURNING POINT PROGRAM TO AGREE WITH OTHER AGENCIES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR PROGRAMS WITH MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, AS PROPERTY MANAGERS OF SUCH UNITS (CONTRACTOR). NEW HOUSING SOLUTIONS ARE ALWAYS BEING PROPOSED AND DEVELOPED TO MEET VARIOUS SOCIAL NEEDS AND SO TURNING POINT PROGRAM MAY EXPAND OUR CATEGORIES OF POTENTIAL HOUSING PROGRAMS TO OFFER COMMUNITIES, IN ORDER TO BE WHAT EACH COMMUNITY NEEDS AND PROVIDE FOR THOSE FAMILIES ESCAPING OR RECOVERING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. TURNING POINT PROGRAM WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS SUCH AS CITY AND COUNTY PUBLIC MEETINGS, DISCUSSION FORUMS, BLOGS AND SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES. WE WILL ALSO CHRONICLE OUR EFFORTS AND ACTIVITIES ON THE CORPORATIONS WEBSITE, TURNINGPOINTPDX.ORG. BECAUSE OUR DEVELOPMENTS WILL HAVE PUBLIC (A NEW MULTI-FAMILY MARKET-RATE, FAMILY-FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT, FOR EXAMPLE) AND CONFIDENTIAL NATURES (TO CONCEAL 24-MONTH GRANT HOUSING UNITS FOR FAMILIES FLEEING OR RECOVERING FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) MEDIA TO BE CAREFULLY USED AND RESTRICTED: NO OTHER PARTICIPANT IN TURNING POINT PROGRAM PROJECT DEVELOPMENT LLCS MAY PUBLISH MATERIAL OR DISCLOSE LOCATIONS OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITIES.
