• The development assumes that a nonprofit developer partners with the DuBois Alumni Association on a 57-unit residential development under a 99-year ground lease. • The ownership of the land is retained by the Alumni Association • A payment is made to the Alumni association for each parcel when developed or could be paid over a 5-year period. • Proceeds from the land payment would go to Alumni Association to renovate or maintain building space on the DuBois Campus or leverage as matching funds for grant opportunities. • Nominal ground lease payments made by tenants to nonprofit developer to fund housing maintenance reserve.

• The development assumes that a community land trust partners with the DuBois Alumni Association on a 57-unit residential development under a 99-year ground lease, similar to Scenario A. • The ownership of the land is retained by the Alumni Association. • A payment is made to the Alumni Association for each parcel. • Proceeds from the land payment would go to Alumni Association to renovate or maintain building space on the DuBois Campus or leverage as matching funds for grant opportunities. • Nominal ground lease payments made by tenants to nonprofit developer to fund housing maintenance reserve • Housing tenants buy just the home at predetermined sales price based on 65% and 80% AMI limits. Outside subsidies brought in to fill the funding gap and make forgivable down payment for homeowners.

Scenario C: Sale of Land for Development of a Multi-family Rental Project

• The development assumes that the DuBois Alumni Association sells 8 acres of land for an affordable housing development on the northern portion of the DuBois Campus. • 122 apartment units are constructed with 100% affordable units for households making 50% and 60% of Area Median Income • Assumes that Wake County provides land acquisition subsidy to pay the Alumni Association for the fair market value of their 8 acres of land, estimated at $2.9 million. • Assumes that a nonprofit developer partners with Wake County, Wake Forest and the DuBois Alumni Association.

• Celebrate the history of the site and neighborhood • Create a commemoration area on the former school site • Create a “campus” like environment with open spaces and walkable streets as organizing elements • Preserve existing buildings and build new buildings, as needed • Dedicate part of the site to educational opportunities • Provide community amenities (central open space, public gathering - both outdoor and indoor, recreation, job training, etc.) • Provide residential opportunities (townhomes, detached and attached single family)
