Common use of Reserve Accounts Clause in Contracts

Reserve Accounts. All unexpended funds in project reserve accounts shall remain with the Project to be used for the benefit of the property and/or its residents. The minimum replacement reserve deposit for projects shall be $ per unit per year. The on- going funding of the replacement reserve in this amount is a requirement of this Agreement during the Compliance Period, and the Owner shall maintain these reserves in a segregated account. Funds in the replacement reserve shall only be used for capital improvements or repairs. An operating reserve shall be funded in an amount equal to three months of estimated operating expenses and debt service under stabilized occupancy. Additional funding will be required only if withdrawals result in a reduction of the operating reserve account balance to 50% or less of the originally funded amount. An equal, verified operating reserve requirement of any other debt or equity source may be used as a substitute, and the reserve may be released following achievement of a minimum annual debt service ratio of 1.15 for three consecutive years following stabilized occupancy only to pay deferred developer fee. Upon Committee approval, operating reserve amounts in excess of industry norms may be considered “reasonable costs,” for purposes of this subsection, only for homeless assistance projects under the Non- Profit Set-Aside, as described in Section 10315(b), Special Needs projects, HOPE VI projects, or project based Section 8 projects. The original Sources and Uses budget and the final cost certification shall demonstrate the initial and subsequent funding of the operating reserves.
