3 Community Preservation Act: History & Overview The Community Preservation Act (CPA) was created in 2000 by state law (G.L. c. 44B) to help cities and towns preserve the character of their communities. In 2001, Cambridge residents voted to adopt the CPA locally, which allowed the City to implement a 3% surcharge on Property Tax bills (with certain residential exemptions) to fund affordable housing, historic preservation, and open space initiatives. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts provides matching funds in addition to those raised locally by the surcharge. The percentage of the state match varies from year to year, depending on two factors: the amount of fees paid at Registries of Deeds throughout the state, and the number of communities that have adopted the CPA locally (thereby receiving a share of the state match). CPA revenues are maintained in a dedicated City account – the CPA Fund. Each year, the City is required to spend at least 10% of its annual CPA revenues on each CPA category – affordable housing, historic preservation, and open space. The remaining percentage can be used towards any of the three funding categories. In July 2012, the state statute was amended to allow greater flexibility in the use of CPA open space funds. Open space funds may also go toward active and passive recreational uses such as parks, playgrounds, community gardens and athletic fields. The CPA process is overseen by the Community Preservation Act Committee. The Committee is a nine- member public body, responsible for evaluating the City’s community preservation needs. The Committee receives input from the public and city staff and makes funding recommendations to the City Manager and City Council. Funding provided for: • Affordable Housing • Historic Preservation • Open Space
4 CPA Committee Process Each year, the CPA Committee holds a series of public meetings on potential projects and the percentage of funds that should be dedicated to each CPA category. The CPA Committee meetings to consider CPA funding for FY20 were as follows: • Organizing Meeting – May 16, 2019 The Committee set its schedule, presented CPA background and process, and discussed the funding estimate. • Hearing on Project Recommendations – June 20, 2019 The Committee received project recommendations from the public and city staff. • Hearing on Allocation Percentages – July 31, 2019 The Committee received input on the funding allocation percentages for affordable housing, historic preservation, and open space. • Project and Allocation Vote Meeting – September 17, 2019 The Committee voted to recommend the funding allocation percentages and certain projects for FY20 CPA funding. The CPA Committee’s project recommendations are summarized in this book and presented, through the City Manager, to the City Council for consideration.
5 CPA Fund Allocations & Appropriations: FY02-19 Summary In each fiscal year, CPA funds are appropriated and allocated from three distinct sources: (1) CPA Local Funds generated by the 3% Property Tax bill surcharge; (2) State Match revenues generated by the Commonwealth’s matching funds; and (3) the CPA Fund Balance, made up of monies in the CPA Fund not appropriated in earlier fiscal years. A percentage of the funds from each source is in turn dedicated to one of three CPA funding categories: Affordable Housing, Historic Preservation or Open Space. Each category must receive at least 10% of the CPA funds each year. Funds dedicated to Affordable Housing are transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust, while funds dedicated to Historic Preservation and Open Space typically go toward specific projects. A summary of the allocations and appropriations from each funding source, and to each funding category, is below. CPA Fund Allocations and Appropriations by Source: FY02-FY19 FY02-19 FY02-19 CPA Fund FY02-19 Total Amount Allocated/ Appropriated Local Funds State Match Balance All Sources Affordable Housing Trust $94,600,000 $41,172,000 $18,660,000 $154,432,000 Historic Preservation $11,825,000 $5,146,500 $2,332,500 $19,304,000 Open Space $11,825,000 $5,146,500 $2,332,500 $19,304,000 Total: $118,250,000 $51,465,000 $23,325,000 $193,040,000 Anticipated FY20 CPA Appropriations and Allocations $13,230,000 Local State Match CPA Fund Balance $9,900,000 $1,220,000 $2,110,000* *Includes $10,000 appropriation for Community Preservation Coalition Membership
6 Affordable Housing Funds dedicated to Affordable Housing initiatives are transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust rather than being allocated or appropriated to a particular project by the CPA Committee. The Affordable Housing Trust leverages its expertise to direct CPA funds to a variety of critical affordable housing initiatives throughout the City. Affordable Housing Trust CPA Fund Allocations & Appropriations FY02-19 $154,432,000 CPA Funded Affordable Housing Initiatives Preservation of Affordable Housing 1,000 units Acquisition/Creation of Rental Units 638 units First-Time Homebuyer Units 164 units Total 1,802 units CPA funds provide more than a one-time direct appropriation; CPA funds committed to affordable housing have leveraged more than $500 million from other public and private sources in FY02-19. CPA funds are the most important source of funding for the Affordable Housing Trust. In recent fiscal years, the City has committed additional revenue sources to increase funding for the development and preservation of affordable housing. Specifically, the City has committed Building Permit revenue and Property Tax revenue to supplement CPA funds. Affordable Housing Trust Building Permit Revenue Allocation (FY18-20*) $10,975,000 Property Tax Revenue Allocation (FY20) $5,000,000 Total $15,975,000 * The City’s Operating and Capital Budgets for FY20 were adopted on May 20, 2019.
7 Historic Preservation The Historical Commission oversees historic preservation efforts in the City and works to preserve the integrity of Cambridge’s varied historical resources. Preservation efforts have included restoring historic buildings, maintaining historic cemeteries, and digitizing records and archives. Historic Preservation CPA Fund Allocations & Appropriations FY02-19 $19,304,000 Preservation Grants A large portion of CPA funding for historic preservation is disseminated through the City’s Preservation Grants program. The program makes grants available in two categories: Affordable Housing Preservation Grants and Institutional (Non-profit) Preservation Grants. Since 1975, the program has supported affordable housing agencies in the exterior restoration of their significant properties. Until 2003, when CPA funds became available, small grants were available from Community Development Block Grants. Affordable Housing Preservation Grants • Low- to moderate-income homeowners may apply for funds to restore exterior features that contribute to the building’s original appearance. • The program offers up to $30,000 (and 50% matching funds up to $50,000) to eligible homeowners and up to $50,000 (plus 50% matching funds for certain costs) to affordable housing agencies. Grants to homeowners are administered by two local non-profit organizations that operate broader Home Improvement Programs for income-eligible homeowners. • 88 Affordable Housing Preservation Grants have been awarded since FY03; 77 projects have been completed and 11 are under construction or cleared to proceed. Institutional Preservation Grants • Many non-profits, including churches and community groups, own deteriorating historic buildings. These organizations may apply for funds to rehabilitate or restore such buildings. • The Institutional Preservation Grant program offers up to $50,000 (and 50% matching funds up to $100,000) for overall exterior preservation, code compliance, and accessibility projects where historic fabric is directly involved. • 104 Institutional Preservation Grants have been awarded since FY05; 99 projects have been completed and 5 are under construction or cleared to proceed.
8 Open Space Cambridge has a variety of public open spaces, from its major natural resource areas such as the Charles River, Alewife Brook, and Fresh Pond Reservation, to the neighborhood parks and playgrounds embedded across the City. CPA funds have been used to increase the amount of open space – by acquiring land or converting property – and to improve existing open space resources. Efforts have included playground redevelopment and watershed protection. Open Space CPA Fund Allocations & Appropriations FY02-19 $19,304,000 Many open space improvements in Cambridge are realized through larger capital development. Open space projects are therefore regularly funded through revenue sources other than CPA funds, including Property Taxes, Water Service Charges, and Bond Proceeds. From FY2011 through FY2019, open space projects received $37,141,000 in funding from non-CPA Fund sources.
9 Recent City projects to receive CPA funding include: Mount Auburn Cemetery Main Gate Inspectional Services Record Digitization Longfellow Park Masonry Repair Magazine Beach Restoration
10 FY20 Project Recommendations Overview & Eligibility The CPA Committee received many requests for FY20 funding. Project requests and related public comment were submitted in various ways: at public meetings, via email and through an online project request form. Requests came from city staff, non-profit organizations, and individual members of the public. Summaries of FY20 projects recommended by the CPA Committee are presented by funding category. What Projects are Eligible for CPA Funding? State law directs, and restricts, the ways in which CPA funds may be spent. Within each CPA category, there are certain eligibility requirements. Funds can be used for the following projects, by category: Affordable Housing • Acquire • Create • Preserve • Support • Rehabilitate/Restore Historic Preservation • Acquire • Preserve • Rehabilitate/Restore Open Space • Acquire • Create • Preserve • Rehabilitate/Restore o For open space acquired or created with CPA funds. o For capital improvements to certain recreational facilities.
11 Affordable Housing FY20 CPA AFFORDABLE HOUSING RECOMMENDATIONS Affordable Housing Trust $10,576,000 Where CPA funds for affordable housing go directly to the Affordable Housing Trust rather than to specific housing initiatives, this summary information includes current statistics and ongoing projects affecting affordable housing in Cambridge and informing the CPA Committee’s recommendations. Continued Need Affordability Restrictions & Waiting Lists There are 504 units facing expiring affordability restrictions before December 31, 2020. Current Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) waiting list: • The CHA has over 19,000 distinct households on its waiting list. More than 5,000 of these households indicate that they currently live or work in Cambridge. Current Community Development Department (CDD) applicant pools: • Rental Housing – The CDD Rental Applicant Pool has more than 3,400 applicants for affordable rental housing, including more than 825 Cambridge residents. • Homeownership – The CDD Homeownership Resale Pool has more than 550 applicants looking to purchase an affordable unit when the current owner decides to sell, including more than 400 Cambridge residents. In 2018, the median market price for a condominium in Cambridge was more than $767,000. Without a significant down payment, purchasing a condominium at this price would require an income of more than $175,000 per year. Spring 2019 Median Market Asking Rents • 1-bedroom $ 2,400 • 2-bedroom $ 2,900 • 3-bedroom $ 3,600 Two people earning Cambridge’s living wage would each have to work more than 90 hours per week to afford a monthly rent of $2,900 for a two-bedroom apartment.
12 Current Developments Concord Highlands Homeowner’s Rehab, Inc. (HRI) is currently constructing Concord Highlands, a new, 98-unit affordable rental development in the Cambridge Highlands area. The mixed-income building will provide housing to very low-, low-, moderate-, and middle-income households and is designed to meet the highest standards of energy efficiency and sustainability. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2020. Frost Terrace Frost Terrace will create 40 affordable rental units in the heart of Porter Square. Affordable housing developers Sean Hope and Jason Korb will preserve three existing houses on the site, including the full restoration of the historic building at 1791 Mass. Ave., as well as adding a new building. The units will be affordable in perpetuity, with all units restricted to low- and moderate-income households. The majority of the units will be family-sized, and the project will feature an indoor play space. The design will focus on sustainability, including energy- efficient fixtures and systems. Construction began in summer 2019.
13 Squirrelwood/Linwood Court Just-A-Start Corporation is creating 23 new affordable rental units as part of their effort to renovate their 45- unit Linwood Court and 20-unit Squirrel Brand Apt. properties. New units will be built in new buildings on Market Street and Broadway. Construction began in spring 2019. HomeBridge: Homebuyer Assistance Program First-Time Homebuyers can access funds to help them purchase homes on the market. HomeBridge offers income-eligible buyers up to 50% of the cost of buying a home on the market to make homeownership more affordable while expanding the City’s stock of affordable homes. More than 110 buyers have purchased homes with City funding through HomeBridge and its predecessor programs.
14 Historic Preservation FY20 CPA HISTORIC PRESERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS Project Summary Amount Project Requestor African American Trail Markers, Phase II $80,000 Historical Commission Conserving Assessor’s Records $55,500 Public Library Digitizing Architectural Survey, Phase II $65,000 Historical Commission Fire Station (Inman Sq.), facade restoration $482,000 Department of Public Works Grave marker restoration, Old Burying Ground $30,000 Historical Commission Preservation Grants $609,500 Historical Commission Historic Preservation Recommendations, Total $1,322,000
15 African American Trail Markers, Phase II Many of the twenty African American Trail markers installed in 1993 have deteriorated and must be replaced. A CPA appropriation from FY19 is supporting replacement of five deteriorated markers and installation of five new markers. The requested appropriation for FY20 will allow the program to continue for a second year. The photos show the Joshua Bowen Smith marker at 79 Norfolk Street and the Franklin H. Wright marker at 40 Magee Street, both due to be replaced in 2019. ($80,000) Conserving Assessor’s Records The requested appropriation will preserve over 300 ledgers dating back to 1794 that document property values during the period of Cambridge’s greatest growth. In their current condition, any use (no matter how minimal) contributes to their destruction, which is why anyone handling them has to wear a mask, gloves, and an apron. ($55,500)
16 Digitizing Architectural Survey, Phase II The Survey of Architectural History in Cambridge contains information on each of the approximately 13,000 buildings in Cambridge. Originally compiled between 1965 and 1977, it has been continually updated and now comprises 35 file drawers of archival material. The digitization project was initiated at the request of the City Council with an FY11 CPA appropriation. The FY19 appropriation allowed completion of the study design, file preparation, and the award of a contract to conduct the scanning. The FY20 request will allow completion of the project and posting the Survey online. No further CPA requests are anticipated for this project. ($65,000) Fire Station (Inman Sq.), Façade Restoration 220 Hampshire Street (1913). Cambridge’s first fire house built for motorized equipment bears significant terra-cotta murals illustrating the history of the fire service. The requested appropriation will restore the façade. ($482,000)
17 Grave Marker Restoration, Old Burying Ground The only cemetery in Cambridge for the first two centuries of settlement, the cemetery contains over 2,000 gravestones dating from the 1680s to the 1820s. Conservators work in the cemetery on an annual basis to conduct repairs and address deterioration. ($30,000) Preservation Grants Pentecostal Tabernacle Church, 56 Magazine Street (1886) and an Income-eligible Residence. Further funding for Affordable Housing Preservation Grants and Institutional Preservation Grants will support efforts to renovate affordable properties using historically-appropriate materials and restore historically significant structures. ($609,500)
18 Open Space FY20 CPA OPEN SPACE RECOMMENDATIONS Project Summary Amount Project Requestor Hoyt Field Play Structures and Furniture $874,050 Community Development Department & Department of Public Works Magazine Beach Site Survey, Planning & Design $47,700 Magazine Beach Partners Alewife Path Design $350,000 Community Development Department & Department of Public Works Hell’s Half Acre Ecological Restoration $50,250 Charles River Conservancy Open Space Recommendations, Total $1,322,000
19 Hoyt Field Play Structures and Furniture This park is adjacent to a youth center and is heavily used. The project will replace the play structures at the site, which are in two different areas within the park, and also include some furniture improvements. ($874,050) Magazine Beach Site Survey, Planning and Design Magazine Beach Partners requests CPA funds to match $50,000 in state funding to produce shovel-ready plans for the next phase of improvements at Magazine Beach Park (Phase II). Funding will go toward survey and geotechnical work, preparation and coordination for a permit from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, and design of the grassy beach area and dock. Phase II improvements will include replacing a sunken parking lot with a grassy beach, better integrating the pool with the park, adding a dock and outlook on the river, and replacing invasive plants with native species. ($47,700)
20 Alewife Path Design Design for a new greenway with multi-use path on the last unimproved section of the Watertown Branch rail line, which the City acquired in 2016. This path would begin at Concord Avenue across from Fresh Pond and run between New Street and the Fresh Pond Mall, alongside the northwest corner of Danehy Park (with connections into the park), and to Sherman Street. The last section of path to Sherman Street would be contingent on leasing a portion of MBTA right of way. This greenway has been identified as an important new connection in the Envision Cambridge process. Design funding ensures the project will be shovel-ready for construction. Future year allocations would provide construction funds. Outside funding would also be sought for a portion of the construction, which is estimated to cost $1.5M. ($350,000)
21 Hell’s Half Acre Ecological Restoration The Charles River Conservancy (CRC), in partnership with the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, plans to undertake an ecological restoration project in an area of the Charles River Basin in Cambridge called Hell’s Half Acre, an "urban wild" of 7.5 acres. The ecological restoration will be a three-year intervention and will include removing invasive plants and replanting to enable growth of native materials to improve water management, climate planning, wildlife habitat, and the health and ecological education of the area’s human users. The CRC requests CPA funds to facilitate the project, hire a specialized contractor (Land Stewardship, Inc.), and engage community volunteers. ($50,250)
