Introduction Purpose The 1999 Action Plan for the City of Fort Collins was completed by the Advance Planning Department, a division of Community Planning and Environmental Services for the City of Fort Collins. Federal guidelines for completing the 1999 Action Plan, which is the one year annual plan required under the 1995-1999 Consolidated Plan, are outlined under 24 CFR Part 91. In October of 1992, the City of Fort Collins adopted its Affordable Housing Policy. The intent of this policy is to strengthen community commitment to affordable housing. This policy adopts the following working definition of°affordable housing" within the City of Fort Collins: Affordable Housing is housing which can be purchased or rented by people of low- or moderate-incomes (i.e., incomes of less than 80% of the City's median income) where the occupant, either the owner or renter, pays no more than 30% of their gross income for housing costs, including utilities. The purpose of the 1999 Action Plan is to provide a strategy to address the current needs of the community in the areas of affordable housing and community development and to provide a basis for evaluating annual achievements. The objectives of the 1999 Action Plan are to identify the current needs of the community and to identify programs and appropriate strategies to meet these needs over the next year. The One Year Action Plan describes the specific activities to be undertaken in 1999-2000 to achieve the priorities established in the Five Year Strategic Plan, and defines the activities that will be undertaken through the CDBG and HOME programs in FY99. The City continues to explore additional opportunities for funding, and recipients of CDBG and HOME funds are encouraged to access additional funding resources. The City of Fort Collins considers applications from all entities wishing to address the City's housing and community development needs. The applications are evaluated on a project-by-project basis and must comply with the goals of the Five Year Strategic Plan. 2 1999 Action Plan <-Tableof Contents 1. Introduction 2 II.

Introduction = Purpose The 1999 Action Plan for the City of Fort Collins was completed by the Advance Planning Department, a division of Community Planning and Environmental Services for the City of Fort Collins. Federal guidelines for completing the 1999 Action Plan, which is the one year annual plan required under the 1995-1999 Consolidated Plan, are outlined under 24 CFR Part 91. In October of 1992, the City of Fort Collins adopted its Affordable Housing Policy. The intent of this policy is to strengthen community commitment to affordable housing. This policy adopts the following working definition of "affordable housing" within the City of Fort Collins: Affordable Housing is housing which can be purchased or rented by people of low- or moderate-incomes (i.e., incomes of less than 80% of the City's median income) where the occupant, either the owner or renter, pays no more than 30% of their gross income for housing costs, including utilities.

The City of Fort Collins considers applications from all entities wishing to address the City's housing and community development needs. The applications are evaluated on a project-by-project basis and must comply with the goals of the Five Year Strategic Plan. 2 _ • Applicability The following grant programs under The Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) are covered by the Action Plan: 1. Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) 2. Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Program Year CDBG and HOME, are to be administered by the City of Fort Collins on a single consolidated program year. Currently, the City of Fort Collins' program year is from October 1st to September 30th. The City is required to submit its Annual Action Plan to HUD at least 45 days before the start of its program year. Therefore, the City will submit its plan by August 15, 1999 for the FY99 program year. i 3 II. Consulta and Citizen Participation tion _,,. The City of Fort Collins is committed to facilitating citizen involvement in the planning process. It is the intent of the City to provide access to the public participation process for all citizens with emphasis on input from those persons with special needs due to insufficient income or a mental or physical impairment This is achieved by a succession of meetings with agencies involved in the provision of housing and community services, as well as soliciting comment from under-represented groups and minorities by providing direct access to the draft Annual Plan. In addition, all residents of Fort Collins have the opportunity to submit input into the Annual Plan through public hearings and are welcome to submit comments directly to the City of Fort Collins. Citizens are given notice of such hearings through the local newspaper. Citizens are also encouraged to participate in the process through the City's process of making the Annual Plan available to the general public at City office buildings, public, private and non- profit housing agencies, and local human and social service provider agencies. A copy of comments received is included in the appendices. In order to encourage participation in funding opportunities offered through HOME and CDBG programs, information was mailed to over 600 individuals, non- profit agencies and for-profit developers, and service providers including those businesses identified as being minority owned or owned by women. In addition, information was distributed through local magazines, newspapers and flyers encouraging applications to the programs. The City published a public notice of the 1999 Action Plan with a request for comment in the Fort Collins Coloradoan dated June 3, 1999 to provide citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties with reasonable and timely access to information and records relating to the City's 1999 Action Plan and the City's use of assistance. Copies of the 1999 Action Plan were made available at the Fort Collins City Hall, 300 LaPorte Avenue and the Community Planning and Environmental Services Building, 281 North College Avenue. The plan was also available on disk upon request. The City provided a review period from June 7"' to June 21", 1999 to receive comments from citizens on the 1999 Action Plan including citizen review of CDBG and HOME funded projects and a public hearing was held June Wh, 1999. Any concerns were addressed prior to submitting the plan to the Department of Housing and,Urban Development. The Action Plan process must also provide for technical assistance to persons of 4 very low-income and low-income who request such assistance in developing proposals for funding assistance under any of the programs covered by the Action Plan, with the level and type of assistance determined by the City. The Action Plan is in a format accessible to persons with disabilities. The City will provide technical assistance to any such person with a disability upon request. As requested, language interpretation to facilitate understanding for non-English- literate persons will be provided. No requests for special assistance were received by the Advance Planning Department. The Citizen Participation process must provide for at least two Public Hearings per year to obtain citizens, views, to be conducted at a minimum of two different stages of the program year. Public Hearings for comment on CDBG and HOME funding were held on January 14,1999 and June 1, 1999 and a public hearing for the review of the draft Consolidated Annual Action Plan was held June 9, 1999, 1999. Advance notice was given regarding the Public Hearings which were held at 281 N. College Avenue and 300 LaPorte Street during the evening hours. Citizens who required special assistance were asked to contact the Advance Planning Department prior to the hearing so that special arrangements could be made. The Consolidated Plan process states that the City must have appropriate and practicable procedures to handle complaints from citizens related to the Action Plan, any amendments and the performance report The City will provide a timely, substantive written response to every written citizen complaint within 15 working days of receipt of the complaint. It is of concern to the City that the level of citizen participation in the planning process has been low. In F-Y99-2000, the CDBG and HOME programs will continue to explore additional methods of encouraging citizen participation which may include involving the Neighborhood Resources Department, public administration and social work students at Colorado State University and using public service announcements on radio and the local television public information channel. 5 UI Commurnty Pnorihes Five Year Ob/ectnes 4 4 { - ..

Other Actions 1998 Flood Recovery Action Plan As a response to the flash flood which occurred in Fort Collins on July 28, 1997, the City submitted a Flood Recovery Plan to disburse $511, 740 in Federal funding. The Plan calls for funding for the Housing Authority in the amount of $141,000 for its Via Lopez project to replace lost housing units, the HOME program in the amount of$24,000 to cover flood-related down payment assistance, Neighbor to Neighbor in the amount of$46,740 for housing acquisition and $300,000 to the Avery neighborhood for flood-control improvements. Neighbor-to-Neighbor has used its allocation to purchase rental property. The Via Lopez project is underway and the funding will be used for down payment assistance. All Via Lopez homes should be closed by October of 1999. The Avery neighborhood flood control project is also underway. Underserved Needs Market survey data project that the City of Fort Collins' population will increase at a rate of five percent over the years 1995-99 as reported in the City's Consolidated Plan 1995-99. From this data, it is projected that the city will require an additional 6,000 housing units by the year 2000. Of this number, approximately 1,500 to 2,000 affordable rental units will be needed in Fort Collins. An additional 100 ownership units are also necessary to meet the needs. A survey of homeless needs in Fort Collins was conducted in May of 1997 by Candace Tangye of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. One of the main concerns expressed by the homeless is that there is still a need for housing for the very low income. Also of concern were the need for increased transitional housing, affordable child care, and expanded bus routes and schedules. In addition, mention was made of the need for the concept of the old- fashioned boarding house where rent would cover shelter and meals without a long-tern lease, co-located domestic violence and transitional housing, affordable housing for HIV/AIDS clients and their families, more attention for the chronically mentally ill and more Habitat for Humanity construction. The 1999- 2000 Action Plan has proposed projects which address the need for additional rental and owner-occupied housing for very low income households. The City of Fort Collins continues to support affordable child care through funding of the sliding fee scale for the Child Care Consortium. 22 _ Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing The City of Fort Collins will support programs and proposals which seek to create new affordable housing opportunities for its residents and which maintain those affordable units already in existence. This includes both rentals and home ownership opportunities and also includes mobile home parks. Fort Collins provides incentives for the development of affordable housing by offering the following programs: Development Plan Fee Waiver, Private Activity Bonds, Development Impact Fee Payment Delay and Priority Processing for Qualified Affordable Housing Projects in addition to subsidy funding from the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership programs. Lead Paint Hazards The following are continuing efforts to reduce the hazard of lead-based paint. The Fort Collins Housing Authority, as part of their Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) funding for the rehabilitation of Public Housing Units, will address lead testing and abatement. All public housing units have been tested for lead-based paint and abatement is continuing on those units that indicated a need. In an educational role, FCHA will continue to provide information on the hazards of lead-based paint to all their residents. Larimer County Health Department will continue to provide general information to residents and companies regarding the hazards of lead-based paint. The Health Department will also continue lead screening by offering blood tests to children from newborn to age 7. All properties constructed before 1978 must have lead paint issues addressed before sale. Anti-poverty Strategy The goal of the City of Fort Collins is to reduce or minimize poverty in the community's households and to prevent their movement into poverty. The City has and will continue to support programs and policies that seek to achieve this goal. The City of Fort Collins has adopted an anti-poverty strategy as part of the 1995 Five-year Consolidated Plan document. This strategy endeavors to integrate and coordinate social services and housing activities for households below the poverty line. In pursuit of this goal, the community has undertaken a number of initiatives including City networking and participation on a number of community-wide task forces, promotion of programs that provide skill development, education and training for low income persons, and integration of public housing residents with self-sufficiency focus programs. �. 23 Institutional Structure The institutional structure responsible for the delivery and management of affordable housing and related community development programs is as follows: The City of Fort Collins City Council (Mayor and Council Members) City Manager City Attorney Community Planning and Environmental Services Advance Planning Department Current Planning Department Neighborhood Resources Department Parks and Recreation Police Services Poudre Fire Authority Transportation Services Utility Services Colorado Coalition for the Homeless Colorado State University Fort Collins Housing Authority (in cooperation with Larimer County, Wellington and Loveland housing authorities) Funding Partners for Housing Solutions Larimer County Northern Colorado Continuum of Care Poudre School District State of Colorado Division of Housing Colorado Housing Finance Authority 24 • Private/Non-Profit Organizations Affordable Housing Coalition Force of Larimer County CARE Housing, Inc.

Alan Fluharty and Jim Cline from the Fort Collins Housing Authority expressed interest in finding out the direction of funding priorities and the funding that will be available in October. John Famam of the Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP) provided evidence of need for future funding of projects benefiting Fort Collins residents who are coping with the effects of HIV/AIDS. NCAP is currently working with 109 families (up from 72 families the previous year), the majority of whom are low income. NCAP has received 50 unduplicated requests for housing assistance. The NCAP organizations is not focused on "hospice" type services at this time but is instead focused on helping families rebound from the effects of the disease with medications and safe and secure housing. Rusty Collins and Nick Christensen of Neighbor to Neighbor spoke of the increasing importance of retaining existing affordable housing units. They pointed out that acquiring existing units is faster, preserves lower rents and is less expensive than new construction. They also pointed out that there is very little developable land left in Fort Collins. A second point was the importance of addressing the expiring HAP contracts. The Northwood apartments (180 units) and other developments may be in jeopardy of being lost to affordable housing. In addition, a local trailer park is raising rents and also requiring residents to pay their own water, sewer and trash which has raised the cost of the lot to nearly $400 per trailer per month. It is estimated that 100 households in the park are at risk of having to leave because of the additional cost. Neighbor to Neighbor also spoke of the importance of housing counseling and pointed out that they project an unduplicated client load of 3,800 in 1999. Charles Dehn, a resident of the Harmony Mobile Home Park mentioned above by N2N, spoke of the residents concern on the events raising their cost of housing. They are considering seeking funds to buy another piece of land to move the residents and build a new community with the flavor of co- housing which would cap the value of the land. Micky Willis, a local non- profit developer, spoke on the need for increased funding for affordable housing projects. He pointed out that Fort Collins is a good place to raise families but many families are forced to live elsewhere and travel here to work because of the high cost of housing. 45 The Public Hearing on June 1, 1999 at City Council Chambers was attended by approximately 30 individuals, most of whom were residents of the Harmony Mobile Home Park. The Harmony Park Homeowner's Association applied to CDBG/HOME for grant funding to create a new mobile home park which would be done in a co-housing manner. The group wants to provide an option to Harmony residents who are being impacted by increasing lot rents along with trash and water payments. Their grant request was not recommended for funding due to concerns that the project was undercapitalized, there was no contract for a land purchase, the land was outside the City limits, and there were no funding agreements in place in addition to concerns that the group had no experience in developing a project of this magnitude. Ten residents spoke of how the increased lot rents are impacting their lives. Two of the speakers were on fixed incomes and detailed how the lot rent, in one case, went up from $245/month in 1994 to $340/month now. Charles Dehn, spokesperson for the group, objected to spending federal funds on building new affordable rental units for low and very low income residents explaining that buying land for home ownership for his project made more sense. City staff recommended that the group align itself with a local nonprofit or for-profit to help in the project planning and offered to request technical assistance through the Department of Housing and Urban Development so that the group could re-apply for funding in the next round. An additional speaker, Betty Maloney, related her pleasure that affordable housing has become a high priority item for the City and that funding will be spent to purchase and maintain existing affordable housing rental complexes in the coming year. The draft 1999 Consolidated Annual Action Plan was made available to the public for review at the City Library, the Advance Planning office and at the offices of other area service providers from June 7 through June 21, 1999. In addition, a public hearing on the contents of the Consolidated Annual Action Plan was held on June 9, 1999. No comments were received at the public hearing. Comments received during the comment period concerned a minor addition of the Resource Coordinating Committee to the leveraged funds section. No other comments were received. 46 x X.
