Dear Mr. Vega,
Florida Community Bank, N.A. ("FCB") is pleased to provide you with this letter regarding your
application from City of Miami's Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment
Agency for a FHLBank of Atlanta Affordable Housing Program (AHP). FCB is looking forward
to partnering with your organization in community development, and based on our preliminary
review of the project, we are willing to consider a commitment for bridge financing.
It is the Bank's understanding that the City of Miami's Southeast OvertownlPark West
Community Redevelopment Agency is seeking a FHLB AHP award to support the rehabilitation
of fifteen (15) owner -occupied units as part of Phase 2 of the redevelopment of the Town Park
North neighborhood in Overtown in Miami, FL. It is our understanding that the total project
costs are estimated at $1,500,000 and that FCB will be asked to provide bridge financing in the
amount of $75,000.00, representing a 5.0% commitment of the total development costs. This
letter is provided as a support document for the AHP application to demonstrate the member's
commitment to participate and provide financing.
This letter is not a commitment to lend and any such commitment would be dependent on
various factors, one of which being City of Miami's Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency receiving the FHLBank AHP award from the aforementioned project.
AlI loan requests are subject to full underwriting in accordance with FCB's credit policies and
procedures. Additional information and conditions will be necessary for such approval and
