EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to approve funding recommendations of the 2022 Spring Cycle of the Competitive Process. This Resolution will complete the 2022 Spring Cycle of the Competitive Process for allocating $3,987,130 in City financial resources to affordable housing and public facility projects, human service programs and administration of the programs. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION This Resolution establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG, HOME, Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) and Human Services Program (HSP) funds for the 2022 program year. CDBG and HOME are federal dollars allocated through HUD. AHF and HSP funds are allocated from the General Fund (GF) and the General Fund 0.25% Other Community Priorities (OCP). In 2022, the total dollar amounts available and being allocated to fulfill the FY2022 project requests is $3,987,130. The following table shows available dollars in each funding category: FY2022 FUNDING CATEGORIES Funding Source Amount FY2022 Housing $2,608,197 FY2022 Human Service & CDBG Public Service $1,074,511 FY2022 Planning and Administration $304,422 Total $3,987,130 Federal funds available for allocation total $2,232,422. These funds are sourced from seven categories designated by HUD, including: FY2022 Entitlement Grants (CDBG and HOME - new funding), FY2021 and FY2020 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 in the current program year can Agenda Item 14 Item # 14 Page 2 be allocated towards public services. The remaining CDBG and HOME Unanticipated Revenue is available for allocation to housing activities. Prior Year Funds (CDBG FY2021) represent previously Council-committed funds that were unexpended and available for re-allocation in the housing category only. Total federal contribution to the Housing category is $1,755,497. 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 $172,503: $168,062 from the FY2022 CDBG Entitlement grant and $4,441 from CDBG FY2021 Unanticipated Program Income. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% of the CDBG Entitlement grant ($224,082) to be used for CDBG planning and program administration costs. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 10% of HOME Entitlement grant ($80,340) to be used for HOME planning and program administration. Total federal contribution to the Planning and Program Administration category is $304,422. The following table provides a summary of 2022 federal funding sources for Housing, Human Service and Planning/Program Administration: FEDERAL FUNDS Funding Source Total Funds Housing Human Service Planning / Admin FY22 CDBG Entitlement Grant $ 1,120,412 $ 728,268 $ 168,062 $ 224,082 FY21 Unanticipated Revenue CDBG $ 22,246 $ 17,805 $ 4,441 FY20 Unanticipated Revenue CDBG $ 57,215 $ 57,215 Prior Year CDBG Funds (previously appropriated and available) $ 42,656 $ 42,656 FY22 HOME Entitlement Grant $ 803,409 $ 723,069 $ 80,340 FY21 Unanticipated Revenue HOME $ 26,571 $ 26,571 FY20 Unanticipated Revenue HOME $ 159,913 $ 159,913 TOTAL Federal Funds $ 2,232,422 $ 1,755,497 $ 172,503 $ 304,422 The City’s contribution to the Housing category is $852,700 ($525,047 new allocation for FY22; $327,653 reappropriated from prior year). The City’s contribution to the Human Service category is $902,008. City Funds do not contribute towards planning and program administration. Agenda Item 14 Item # 14 Page 3 The following table provides a summary of 2022 City Funding for Housing and Human Service, including differentiation between General Fund (GF) and the General Fund 0.25% Other Community Priorities (OCP) sources for each: CITY FUNDS Funding Source Total Funds Housing Human Service Planning / Admin Human Service Program (GF) $ 526,601 $ 526,601 Affordable Housing Fund (GF) $ 652,700 $ 652,700 General Fund OCP $ 575,407 $ 200,000 $ 375,407 TOTAL City Funds $ 1,754,708 $ 852,700 $ 902,008 COMBINED FUNDING TOTALS Total Funds Housing Human Service Planning / Admin $ 3,987,130 $ 2,608,197 $ 1,074,511 $304,422 The City received 54 housing and human service applications totaling $6,780,703. In the housing category, six proposals were received totaling $4,780,000. The available funding in the Housing category equals $2,608,197, and therefore a shortage of $2,171,803 from what was originally requested (two proposals were later withdrawn). In the Human Service category, 48 applications were received totaling $2,000,703. (Attachment 1) There is a shortage in Human Service dollars of $926,192. The following table summarizes the amount of funding requests compared to the amount of funding available for each of the categories: FY2022 FUNDING REQUESTS BY CATEGORY Category Number of Applications Available Funding Requested Funding Available - Request Difference Administration - CDBG * $ 224,082 $ 224,082 $ 0 Administration - HOME * $ 80,340 $ 80,340 $ 0 Housing 6 $ 2,608,197 $ 4,780,000 - $ 2,171,803 Human Services 48 $ 1,074,511 $ 2,000,703 - $ 926,192 Totals 54 $ 3,987,130 $ 7,085,125 - $ 3,097,995 CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS The CDBG and HOME programs provide federal funds from HUD to the City 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 FY2022, the total amount of federal funds available for allocation is $2,232,422 and the City’s contribution is $1,754,708. 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. Agenda Item 14 Item # 14 Page 4 BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Human Services and Housing Funding Board (previously named the CDBG Commission) recommends adoption of their funding recommendations made on April 26, 2022, and April 27, 2022. 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 categories, they considered the performance of current grantees, the priority areas of the Social Sustainability Strategic Plan (Attachment 3), the goals of the HUD required Five-Year Consolidated Plan, 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 the participating Board members who submitted scores (Attachment 4). 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 Service 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 in 2020-2021 with federal CARES-CVRF funding, and many may be eligible for American Rescue Plan Act funding that will be granted out by Social Sustainability in the coming months to nonprofit providers for their pandemic recovery needs. For the 2021 grant process, several improvements were operationalized to maximize efficiencies within the human service grant program. The process improvements included: raising the minimum grant award for subrecipients to $15,000; allowing up to 10% of a grant award to be applied by the organization towards indirect/administrative expenses; and designating eligible projects aligned with specific HUD Consolidated Plan goals to receive multi-year, proportional funding awards with federal CDBG public service funds. 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. Board members have been presented with information detailing the City Charter and Code provisions regarding conflict of interest and the disclosure process. The following tables present the allocations recommended by the Board to Council within each major category: PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION CATEGORY Applicant Project/Program Funding Request Recommended Funding Unfunded Balance Percent of Request Funded City of Fort Collins: CDBG Administration/Planning $ 224,082 $ 224,082 $0 100% City of Fort Collins: HOME Administration/Planning $ 80,340 $ 80,340 $0 100% Administration/Planning Total $ 304,422 $ 304,422 $0 100% HOUSING CATEGORY In the Housing category, there were two proposals under consideration for alternative City-sourced funds at the time of the Human Services and Housing Funding Board’s deliberations on April 26, 2022. Further, HUD had not yet released its FY22 Entitlement Grant final dollar amounts that the City would be receiving. Given Agenda Item 14 Item # 14 Page 5 these variables, the Human Services and Housing Funding Board prioritized the six proposals in order of funding preference, with each proposal recommended for full funding, and recognizing that certain projects may be withdrawn, making funds available for lower prioritized projects. Within weeks, the two proposals were awarded the alternative funding and withdrew their applications from the Competitive Process, and HUD published the Entitlement Grant allocations. CARE Housing received their full request through a mid-cycle award of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the City, and Elevations Community Land Trust received their full request from a State of Colorado DOLA grant shepherded by the City. Final dollar amounts were then allocated to the remaining proposals based on their rankings.

HUMAN SERVICE CATEGORIES In the Human Service category, 48 proposals were received and 37 are being recommended for funding, ranging from 33% to 88% of requests. Eleven proposals are not being recommended for funding. There is a funding gap of $926,192.

PUBLIC OUTREACH A meeting that combined the Human Services and Housing Funding Board and the Affordable Housing Board was held on March 30, 2022, 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 7, 2022, 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 6, 2022, 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 26, 2022, to deliberate the housing proposals and again on April 27, 2022, to deliberate the human service and CDBG public service 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 22, 2022, presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects and indicated the public comment period would start on May 23, 2022, and end on June 21, 2022. The Council meeting on June 21, 2022, 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 13 entities serving most 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. ATTACHMENTS 1. Summary of Organizations Requesting Funding and Recommendations (PDF) 2.

Applications ranked in order of priority: 1-HO -4 Housing Catalyst’s Impala Housing Project 2-HO-1 CARE Housing Heartside Hill 3-HO-2 Elevation Community Land Trust Kechter Townhomes 4-HO-3 Habitat for Humanity Poudre Build 8 5-HO- 6 Neighbor to Neighbor Phase 2 Rehab – 44 Apartments 6-HO-5 Housing Catalyst’s Village on Bryan Renovation The Board is available to answer questions, if needed. ATTACHMENT 2 Human Services Priorities Distribution of FY22 Recommended Funding The Human Services priorities are identified within the Social Sustainability Strategic Plan. Each priority is further defined with demographic or strategy concentrations to clarify the targeted needs of underserved groups and low-income residents. For example, Care-Giving Services identifies Seniors and People with Disabilities as targeted populations to support. Applicants were required to clearly demonstrate in their funding proposal how the program directly addresses and advances 1-2 of the priorities and concentrations. The distribution of funds shown in the chart above reflects the primary priority of the program, however; many programs also support a secondary priority. For example, a senior meal delivery program is foremost a Care-Giving (Senior) priority, with Healthy Food as its secondary priority. Further, there are four FY22 programs receiving federal CDBG Public Service funds and they are all aligned with the Housing Opportunity & Stability priority above.

Presentation – Overview of Funding & Strategic Goals for Deliberations Adam Molzer and Beth Rosen provided an overview of funding considerations for this grant cycle and a review of the Housing Strategic Plan goals. Of the six housing proposals, two are eligible for outside funding but will not receive notice of those decisions until after the housing deliberations. Board members were advised to rank the six projects in order so that if a project receives funding elsewhere it can be withdrawn from this grant cycle and the next highest ranked project can receive funding. Board members are encouraged to fully-fund recommended projects (working through the matrix) as the requested amount is needed for the construction and/or rehabilitation to move forward. However, partial funding for any remaining project(s), based on the available funding, is also recommended because it demonstrates the local commitment needed by those projects to acquire additional resources. One notable exception to the recommendation to fully-fund a proposal is the Elevation Community Land Trust (ECLT) Kechter Townhomes project. ECLT is only eligible for $852,000 in affordable housing funds even though their request is for $1 million. They have stated that they would gratefully accept less than the full request amount and find the additional funds elsewhere, should the board decide to fund this project. Josh Johnson asked for clarification about whether any remaining funds from this grant cycle could be used in the FY23 grant cycle. Beth Rosen confirmed that any unused funds can be reallocated for next year’s competitive funding process but reiterated that any of the projects would be grateful to receive partial funding, based on the balance of funds and their ranking. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has not released their actual allocations for 2022 funding. City staff will be operating the funding matrix based on estimated allocations. b. Deliberations to Formulate Funding Recommendations – Affordable Housing The Affordable Housing Board’s rankings of the housing proposals were presented. City staff stated that two projects may be available for funding outside of the competitive grant process: CARE Housing was deemed eligible for ARPA funding and Elevation CDBG COMMISION SPECIAL MEETING 4/26/2022 – MINUTES Page 4 Community Land Trust (ECLT) Kechter Townhomes for state funding. If a project receives outside funding, it will not receive City funding. Rather, the next highest rank project will receive the recommended funding until all competitive grant resources are exhausted. Steve Backsen asked for clarification about whether CARE Housing would accept $1 million (full request $1.1 million). Beth Rosen recommended that board members consider fully-funding approved projects so that they can move forward with construction. If not fully funded, CARE Housing would likely request tax credits from the state and have a funding gap. Beth Rosen altered the matrix and presented to the board the estimated funds remaining after allocations for HO-4 and HO-1. Board members proceeded to rank the housing applications so that funds can be allocated later based on actual dollars from HUD. Steve Backsen stated that he would like to utilize the recommendations as presented by the Affordable Housing Board and prioritize new construction over rehabilitation. Ethnie Treick asked whether any of the housing projects could wait until the FY23 grant cycle to receive funding. Beth Rosen stated that HO-1 and HO-4 are contingent on receiving their requested grant funding to secure additional resources and move forward with their projects. HO-2 is currently under construction but would need to find those resources to close their funding gap. Construction on HO-3 corresponds to the start of the school year for Poudre School District. If unfunded, this specific build would be not able to return for funding in FY23. HO-6 and HO-5 would not halt construction if they did not receive funding through the competitive grant process, but it would require them to seek funding elsewhere. Beth Rosen shared that there are $19.9 million in total remaining ARPA funds and $4.5 million in project requests to date. Funding for HO-1 is based on whether City Council approves ARPA funding for use at the Heartside Hill project. City staff stated that HO-5 and HO-6 would likely acquire additional debt to proceed or delay portions of their renovations. They would be eligible to return with requests in the FY23 grant cycle. There is not a risk of losing affordable units as market units for HO-5, HO-6 or HO-2 because of existing land acquisition and funding agreements. HO-4: Housing Catalyst – Impala Housing Project Motion by Steve Backsen to fund at $1.5 million. Seconded by Josh Johnson. CDBG COMMISION SPECIAL MEETING 4/26/2022 – MINUTES Page 5 Motion withdrawn. Beth Rosen presented a matrix to demonstrate the allocations based on different funding scenarios. Priority #1 - HO-4: Housing Catalyst – Impala Housing Project Priority #2 - HO-1: CARE Housing – Heartside Hill Priority #3 - HO-2: Elevation Community Land Trust – Kechter Townhomes Priority #4 - HO-3: Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity – Poudre Build 8 Priority #5 - HO-6: Neighbor to Neighbor - Phase 2 Rehab 44 Affordable Apartments Priority #6 - HO-5: Housing Catalyst - Village on Bryan Renovation Housing projects are ranked in priority order. If a project receives funding through the City from another source, the funding recommendation will be withdrawn and funds will be made available to the next eligible, prioritized project. Adoption of the FY22 Affordable Housing Board funding recommendations matrix as presented. Motion by Olga Duvall. Seconded by Ethnie Treick. Motion passed unanimously 6-0. 9. OTHER BUSINESS None 10.

Friendly amendment by Elizabeth Gillette to fund at $20,000. Accepted by Olga Duvall and Pat Hastings. The motion passed 7-0. Adam Molzer called for a short break and the meeting resumed at 5:40 PM. Beth Rosen and Adam Molzer presented the current funding recommendations for CDBG public service projects, currently $17,497 over available CDBG funding. Projects that are funding with CDBG public service dollars will be contracted a percentage of CDBG funds (varies year-to-year) over a three-year period. Discussion: Board members discussed funding CDBG-4 with human services dollars (one-year contract) rather than CDBG dollars (three-year contract) because it’s a new project with high potential for growth. HUMAN SERVICES & HOUSING FUNDING BOARD SPECIAL MEETING 4/27/2022 – MINUTES Page 6 Beth Rosen clarified that City Staff evaluated the grant proposals and determined which were eligible for CDBG public service funding based on their alignment with the Consolidated Plan (offering emergency shelter or preventing homelessness), not based on future growth of the projects. There is no mandate to use 15% of CDBG funding for public services. If HUD allocations increase year-to-year by a significant amount, City staff would work to make the funding consistent. Rather than decreasing all CDBG eligible projects by a percentage to use only CDBG funds available, board members returned to the idea of funding CDBG-4 with human service dollars and decreasing the remaining four CBDG projects by a small amount, to balance the public service budget.

Adam Molzer reminded the board members that all organizations approved for funding are eligible to claim up to 10% of their grant for indirect and administrative costs, regardless of whether they indicated so on their application. This decentralized model for childcare should allow consumers to find childcare more easily in their community and does not restrict low-income families to utilize select childcare centers.
