Ninth Circuit Limits Mortgagee to Value of the Property as Low Income Housing
In First Southern National Bank v. Sunnyslope Housing Limited Partnership , No. 12-17241 , the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in an en banc decision, held that, for purposes of confirmation of a plan of reorganization over a mortgagee's objection, the value of the mortgagee's secured claim was the value of the property as low income housing not the value the mortgagee would have received on foreclosure free of the low income housing restrictions.
