the General Fund 0.25% Other Community Priorities (OCP). In 2021, the total dollar amount available is
$4,589,450, with $4,103,056 being allocated to fulfill the FY2021 project requests. The following table shows
available dollars in each funding category:

FY2021 Human Service $1,101,656
FY2021 Planning and Administration $301,400
Total $4,589,450
Federal funds available for allocation total $2,557,251. These funds are sourced from seven categories
designated by HUD, including: FY2021 Entitlement Grants (CDBG and HOME - new funding), FY2020 and
FY2019 Unanticipated Program Revenue (CDBG and HOME - new funding), Prior Year Funds (CDBG - re-
appropriated).
Unanticipated Revenue Funds include repayments from loans issued for rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance,
acquisition and development. Fifteen percent (15%) of CDBG funds received can be allocated towards public
services. Twenty percent (20%) of CDBG funds received can be allocated to current year planning and
administration.
Prior Year Funds (CDBG FY2020) represent previously Council-committed funds that are available for re-
allocation in the housing category only.
Total federal contribution to the Housing category is $2,043,843.
The maximum limit allowed by HUD regulations in the Human Service category for the CDBG Entitlement grant
and current year CDBG Program Income is 15%.
Total federal contribution to the Human Service category is $212,008: $169,166 from the FY2021 CDBG
Entitlement grant and $42,842 from CDBG FY2020 Unanticipated Program Income.
HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% of the CDBG Entitlement grant ($228,879) to be used for CDBG
planning and program administration costs.
HUD regulations allow a maximum of 10% of HOME Entitlement grant ($72,521) to be used for HOME planning
and program administration.

The City received 49 housing and human service applications totaling $4,644,435. In the housing category, four
proposals were received totaling $2,700,000. The available funding in the Housing category equals $3,186,394
(this amount comes from $1,999,492 in new CDBG/HOME appropriations plus $1,186,902 previously
appropriated) and thus there is no shortage in Housing dollars. The balance of $486,394 in excess Affordable
Housing Fund dollars will be carried forward for allocation to eligible housing projects in 2022. In the Human
Service and Public Facility category, 45 applications were received totaling $1,944,435 (Attachment 1). There
is a shortage in Human Service dollars of $842,779. The following table summarizes the amount of funding

CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The CDBG and HOME programs provide federal funds from HUD to the City of Fort Collins which can be
allocated to housing and community development related programs and projects and administration of the funds,
thereby, reducing the demand on the City’s General Fund budget to address such needs. In FY2021, the total
amount of federal funds available for allocation is $2,557,251 and the City’s contribution is $1,545,805. These
dollars allow applicants to leverage other funding sources to provide needed services in our community.
Through the provision of affordable housing, more of Fort Collins’ workforce can reside within the community.
This means there is an available labor pool within the city, which is a positive benefit to economic sustainability.
Human Service programs contribute to economic sustainability and homelessness prevention by providing such
programs as education, childcare, counseling, and rent assistance, so workers can maintain their employment
and housing.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Human Services and Housing Funding Board (previously named the CDBG Commission) recommends
adoption of their funding recommendations made on April 29, 2021. The Board read all applications, listened to
presentations by each housing applicant, and asked clarifying questions. Additionally, in the Housing category,
they reviewed the priority rankings of the Affordable Housing Board (Attachment 2), the goals of the Affordable
Housing Strategic Plan and the priorities of the HUD required Five-Year Consolidated Plan. In the Human
Service category, they considered the performance of current grantees, the priority areas of the Social
Sustainability Strategic Plan (Attachment 3), community needs and the program’s potential to address
community needs. Each Board member then completed a scorecard to reflect their evaluations of the Human
Service proposals relative to a series of weighted criteria. The proposals were then placed in descending rank
order based on the average scores of all participating Board members (Attachment 4). Statistical breaks were
identified within the ranked order and the Board proceeded to deliberate funding recommendations following a
rules-based protocol that they had predetermined.
The evaluation process for both the Housing and Human Services categories addressed deeply rooted
community needs that pre-date the COVID-19 pandemic and will remain after the public health emergency
passes. COVID-19 was not a leading determinant in the funding recommendations. Many applicants were
supported with federal CARES-CVRF funding deployed by the City to nonprofit providers for their pandemic
response work and may also be eligible for future funding assistance from the City when guidelines for the
American Rescue Plan Act funds are determined.
The Human Services and Housing Funding Board members are subject to certain rules of ethical conduct
established by the City Charter and Code, including refraining from voting on or attempting to influence any
decision in which he or she has a financial or personal conflict of interest. At the Board’s regular meeting on
March 10, 2021, a presentation from the Senior Assistant City Attorney was made to all the Human Services
and Housing Funding Board members detailing the City Charter and Code provisions regarding conflict of
interest and the disclosure process.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
A meeting that combined the Human Services and Housing Funding Board and the Affordable Housing Board
was held on March 24, 2021, to discuss the merits of the housing proposals, without any funding discussion.
Housing applicants also had the opportunity to make presentations at that meeting and respond to questions.
The Affordable Housing Board met on April 1, 2021, and created their own project ranking list, which was then
made available to the Human Services and Housing Funding Board as a resource to consider during funding
deliberations. The Human Services and Housing Funding Board met on April 7, 2021, to discuss the merits of
the human services proposals and identify follow-up questions for the applicants, without any funding discussion.
The Board held a meeting on April 29, 2021, to deliberate all proposals and make funding recommendations. All
meetings were open to the public and added to the City calendar.
The City of Fort Collins Citizen Participation Plan for HUD funds requires a 30-day public comment period on
the proposed allocation of CDBG and HOME funds prior to Council’s final decision. Staff placed an ad in the
Coloradoan newspaper on May 5, 2021, presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects and
indicated the public comment period would start on May 6, 2021, and end on June 6, 2021. The Council meeting
on June 1, 2021, will serve as a Public Hearing and comments will be recorded and reported to HUD in August.
The public notice of funding recommendations was placed on the Social Sustainability Department’s website. It
was also distributed to applicants and 12 entities serving a majority of clients in legally protected classes-
including those in a racial/ethnic minority, those with a disability, or female heads of households-or serving those
community members who might otherwise have barriers to public participation in the City’s civic engagement
processes. To date, the public comments received have largely been statements of gratitude from the applying
agencies.
