Also emphasized was the project’s significant public benefits which include jobs, education, childcare, and infrastructure. Maureen Hickey, from Northeastern University, presented the project detailing the 13-acre site, the Alfond Center, the future Lunder Innovation Lab, and the parking garage. The grant funds are needed to transport and dispose of contaminated soil found during construction that was unanticipated.

Watson, Director MEMORANDUM TO: President Kierston Van Soest and PDC Board Members FROM Nancy L. Martin, Business Programs Manager CC: Greg Watson, Director, Housing and Economic Development Department DATE: December 18, 2025 RE: Brownfields Subgrant Request of $285,750 from Youth and Family Outreach PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Portland Development Corporation is being presented with a $285,750 Brownfields subgrant request from Youth and Family Outreach (YFO) to support environmental remediation as part of the redevelopment of their property at 331-337 Cumberland Avenue. The project will demolish the two existing structures to create one new structure that will provide affordable housing as well as expanded childcare services. BUDGET AND BACKGROUND: Youth and Family Outreach is planning for new construction of sixty units of family housing in one new construction building located on approximately 20,000 SF at 331-337 Cumberland Avenue in Portland. At least 60% of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Units will be rented to households earning 50% Area Median Income (AMI) or less, and the remaining LIHTC Units will be rented to households earning 60% AMI or less. Ten units will be pledged for use by populations with special needs and will have project based vouchers. Thirteen units will be handicap accessible (seven are required and YFO is pledging an additional six units). This development will include a unique co-location of an established childcare facility with mixed-income family housing. As an existing childcare facility, YFO currently has over 300 children on its waiting list; 95% of their families live in Portland and, at any given time, roughly 18% are unhoused. The expansion of the childcare facility would allow YFO to serve 50 additional children. The project has received all local approvals from the Portland Planning Board. The $285,750 in requested City subgrant funding will be allocated to a single task in the project, specifically to fund temporary shoring and a retaining wall. EPA has confirmed eligibility for this task. Consulting underwriter David McLaughlin assessed YFO’s financial capacity on behalf of GPCOG for a Brownfields loan and subgrant for the same project, which was approved in June 2025. 389 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101 – www.portlandmaine.gov – (207) 874-8683 Page 7 TIMELINE: Abatement of hazardous materials in the existing buildings will occur first, followed by demolition of the existing buildings, and removal of contaminated soils to a licensed facility. Estimated Schedule of Environmental Cleanup: Beginning in December 2025: abatement of hazardous materials in existing buildings, demolition, and removal of contaminated soils to licensed facility Estimated Schedule of New Construction: April/May 2026: construction start November 2027: construction completion RECOMMENDATION: PDC staff (Nancy Martin) and underwriter (David McLaughlin) propose approving a Brownfields subgrant of $285,750 to Youth and Family Outreach. ATTACHMENTS: ● Underwriting assessment by David McLaughlin ● Budget provided by YFO 389 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101 – www.portlandmaine.gov – (207) 874-8683 Page 8 DAVID MCLAUGHLIN, UNDERWRITER June 19, 2025 for GPCOG, edited December 11 2025 for City of Portland APPLICANT/BORROWER: Youth and Family Outreach ADDRESS: 331 Cumberland Avenue, Portland, Maine BROWNFIELDS SUBGRANT REQUEST: $285,750 PURPOSE: Funding the remediation costs of contamination at 331-337 Cumberland Avenue, Portland. The estimated cost of cleanup is slightly over $1 million. The remaining funds will be provided by GPCOG, DECD and YFO. This is part of a $27 million construction project to double the capacity of the current childcare services to 110 and create 60 units of affordable housing for families. Completion of the expansion is anticipated in November 2027. The project has received Planning Board approval. OVERVIEW: YFO, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization which has been in operation since 1850, is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, a level 4 on Maine’s Quality Rating System and state licensed whose primary mission is early child care and education. They operate the current childcare center that is to be expanded. They have owned the real estate at 331 Cumberland Avenue, Portland since 1850. YFO purchased the real estate at 337 Cumberland for $896M in 2018. The current project and request is to double the size of the current childcare facility and add 60 units of family housing. There will be four efficiency units that are approximately 378 SF, twenty four one-bedroom units that range from 534 to 700 SF, twenty-two two-bedroom that range from 670 to 931 SF and ten three-bedroom units that range from 893 to 980 SF. Forty eight units will be rented to households earning 60% of AMI or less and twelve units will be rented to households earning 100% of AMI or less. At less 60% of the LIHTC will be rented to households earning 50% AMI or less. MaineHousing will be providing ten project based Vouchers (20% of LIHTC units) for ten units that will be pledged for use by special needs. There will be a community room, fitness room, office, indoor bike storage, trash room, laundry room and broadband infrastructure. The second floor will have a separate unit to expand daycare by 50 for a total of 110 children. The preliminary project cost and source of funding is as follows for the total project: SOURCES USES Maine State Housing mtg. $10,790,000 Construction $21,540,000 Portland HTF 1,080,000 Financing 1,167,000 MSHA RLP 1,000,000 Development 2,000,000 GPCOG 700,000 Reserves 855,000 Other Soft debt 291,000 Soft costs 1,726,000 Other Credit Equity 405,000 Net Syndication of tax credit 9,061,000 SLIHTC 2,713,000 Deferred Development Fee 1,250,000 TOTAL $27,290,000 $27,290,000 Page 9 They are in the process of securing the financing. Applications are being completed for submission to Maine State Housing for permanent financing, a grant and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, and to the Federal Home Loan Bank for AHP financing and a grant. MSHA has issued a Notice of Intent and has allocated the funds. The construction cost was estimated by Penobscot General Contractors. This cost estimate was noted is subject to change, but noted that it anticipated increased costs until the commencement of construction. Phase I and Phase ll environmental site assessment has been completed. However, a new Phase I and II site assessments will be required by MSHA. The current Phase ll report found evidence of environmental hazards to include abandoned UST, lead and arsenic in the soil, but all within acceptable limits. The study did suggest several voluntary steps that could be taken to further reduce environmental risk. These recommendations are incorporated into the project costs. Maine State Housing Authority has reportedly indicated this cleanup will be a condition of approval. The current request is only for the first phase of the environmental cleanup of $1,060k. It is expected that a request for subordination of this $400k loan will be made and approval is expected based on preliminary information, but will be subject to a review of the final project. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW: CPA audited statements of Youth and Family Outreach were provided and reviewed. The major pertinent findings are as follows: Youth and Family Outreach (000) 2021 2022 2023 2024 Current Ratio 7.1 14.4 7.6 6.0 Working Capital 340 432 224 428 Net Assets 2,031 2,128 2,560 2,299 Total Debt. 579 541 534 587 Debt Worth Ratio. .29 .25 .21 .26 Revenues 1,712 1,211 1,084 1,428 Net Income 626 97 (102) 273 Debt Service Coverage. 28.0 10.0 1.0. 13.0 Excess Cash Flow. 783 260 0 370 - YFO has a good working capital position as of 9/30/24 with a 6.0 current ratio and $428k in working capital. Both are above industry averages. This is the highest working capital position of the past eight years. - The current leverage is low .26 debt worth ratio and $2,299 in net assets. There has been consistent growth in net assets. - Debt service coverage is strong at 13.0 with $270k in excess cash flow after debt service in 2024. - YFO is in a strong financial position to support this project on a contingency basis if needed. Project Operating Budget: The application included cash flow projections with detailed supporting assumptions assuming completion of the daycare center and residential units. They concluded that both the cost and revenue projections were in line with industry benchmarks. Operations are projected to stabilized in the first Page 10 year with $192k in cash flow to service debt. The debt servicing requirements have not been included, but is expected to result in debt service coverage in excess of 1.0. COLLATERAL: A second mortgage on the commercial real estate located at 337 and 331 Cumberland Avenue, Portland subject to prior debt of $500k with The Genesis Fund. The appraised value of the combined properties is $1,588k for a loan to value ratio of 57%. GPCOG Is well secured during the environmental cleanup phase. It is anticipated that a request for subordination of this GPCOG Brownfield loan will be made as part of the financing for the construction phase. That is still in the planning phase and a review of the project will be made at the time of that request. A requirement of the expected future subordination request will be subject to a review of the final budget that evidences adequate debt service coverage. I have discussed this with YFO management who understands this requirement and process. CONDITIONS: - Acceptable review of final project budget to include the remediation costs prior to closing - If a VRAP, letter of completion of clean up - Acceptable review of commitment letters from all other sources of financing and reasonable assurances from those sources that either all major preclosing conditions have been met or are expected to be met prior to closing. STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES: - Project equity of 62% - YFO has a strong long term history in development and management of similar projects - YFO is financially strong and able to support project with combined $370k in excess cash flow and $428k in working capital - Portland has a housing shortage and there is a significant waiting list for both market and subsidized rental units. Daycare is also short in supply relative to the current demand. - Collateral position is 57% of property valuation - - There were no significant noted weaknesses RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval based on the above noted strengths subject to the above Conditions. It should be noted that this project is still in the planning stage and could be subject to change. Any change though is expected to be more minor and should not impact the recommendation or the proposed conditions. I have especially focused on the adequacy of capitalization of the project, the capability of management and assuring that our collateral position is appropriate. All are noted as strengths.

They educate our children during the most critical years of development. However, the proposed minimum wage increase in Portland to $19 by 2028 presents a serious challenge for child care. We cannot simply raise prices or absorb additional costs. Every dollar we pay must come directly from tuition, and the families we serve are already stretched. This puts us in a difficult position. While we fully support higher pay for our staff, raising it without additional public investment means the burden falls on working families. And when child care becomes unaffordable, parents are forced to cut hours, leave jobs or make unsafe care choices. That’s a loss for them, for employers, and for Portland’s economy. I’d encourage voters to vote no on the minimum wage increase, and be vocal supporters of public investment in child care. Camelia Babson-Haley Portland © 2025 The Portland Press Herald 1/1 Page 30 City of Portland | Housing and Economic Development Department Gregory P. Watson, Director PUBLIC MEMO TO: President Kierston Van Soest and PDC Board Members FROM: Nancy L. Martin, Business Programs Manager CC: Greg Watson, Director, Housing and Economic Development Department DATE: December 18, 2025 RE: Discussion and possible action regarding loan evaluation criteria Introduction: Several members of the PDC indicated interest in creating guidance in evaluating the public benefit of loans presented to the committee. These members met on December 9th and identified a possible means to evaluate loans based on several guidelines that focus on jobs, geographic location, and alignment with City and State strategies. The question of pegging interest rates to public benefit was also discussed. Recommendation: Staff recommend discussion and a possible vote to adopt a trial period of six months in which the attached criteria are evaluated with every proposed loan, and after that point revisiting the issue of interest rate setting. Attachment: Summary of December 9th meeting on loan evaluation criteria 389 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101 – www.portlandmaine.gov – (207) 874-8683 Page 31 Summary of December 9th meeting on loan evaluation criteria Present: Beverly Werber, Jon Berg, David McLaughlin, Scott Kleiman, Nate Henry, Greg Watson, and Nancy Martin Summary: Discussion centered on how to evaluate public benefits of loans presented to the committee, and also how to set interest rates. Decided to create a procedure in which these 3 key focus areas are included in all loans presented to the PDC: 1. Jobs (retained, created, wages, and benefits) 2. Priority location (as identified in Portland’s Comprehensive Plan) 3. Alignment with City and State strategies such as City and State Economic Development Strategies and the City Council's priorities of Climate Change, DEI, Affordable Housing; as well as Industry (ie commercial waterfront or biotechnology, versus payday lending or dollar store) The subcommittee agreed it would be best to see how this approach goes for a set period, before addressing whether to set interest rates based on these focus areas.
