The Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Program and the Home Investment Partnerships
(HOME)Program provide Federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) to the City of Fort Collins which can be allocated to housing and community development
related programs and projects, thereby,reducing the demand on the City's General Fund Budget to
address such needs. The City Council is being asked to consider the adoption of two resolutions
related to funding under the CDBG and HOME Programs. The first resolution (Resolution 2003-
069) establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG funds for the FY
2003-2004 Program year,which starts on October 1,2003. The CDBG Commission presents a list
of recommendations as to which programs and projects should receive funding. The second

ITEM NUMBER:
Program for the FY 2003-2004 Program year and establishes allocations which will use HOME
Program unprogrammed funds and program income. Specific projects for the use of HOME funds
will be determined in November as a result of the fall funding cycle of the competitive process for f
the allocation of the City's financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and
community development activities. The third resolution (Resolution 2003-071) establishes
allocations of unprogrammed funding from the City's Affordable Housing Fund.
BACKGROUND:
At the May 20, 2003, regular City Council meeting, the Council is scheduled to conduct a public
hearing and consider the adoption of a resolution establishing which programs and projects will
receive funding with Commum'ly Devepp"n B c c r'ant�(C BG) funds, HOME funds and
Affordable Housing Funds fo he FY 2 3-2 gram ye which starts on October 1, 2003.
The resolution establishing whrograms an3 projects k I receive funds represents the
culmination of the spring cycle of the competitive process approved in January 2000 by the Council
for the allocation of the City's financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and
community development activities. Additional background material about the competitive process
is included in Attachment A.
Since early January of this year,the CDBG Commission and members of the City staff's Affordable
Housing Team have conducted public hearings to assess community development and housing needs
in Fort Collins, conducted tec ica sranc in w%kshops for applicants, and solicited
applications for CDBG,HOMWand Alf rdable o in nain . The City's Affordable Housing
Board reviewed the written applications or of d e housinrojects and forwarded a priority
ranking of proposals, as well s>co'(mments nd -uestions; o the CDBG Commission. See
Attachment B for a copy of the Board's materials sent to the CDBG Commission. The CDBG
Commission, in addition to reviewing the written applications, personally interviewed each
applicant, analyzed the applications, and formulated a list of recommendations to the City Council
as to which programs and projects should receive funding.
The competitive process established refined criteria to determine priorities between proposals
received by the City. The ranking criteria are divided into five major categories. Each category is
given a total number of points th as bee ei cc g l 'ts importance with respect to
local and federal priorities. T e five ma r ca o s
1. Impact/Benefit
2. Need/Priority
3. Feasibility
4. Leveraging Resources
5. Capacity and History
The Impact/Benefit criteria provide greater rewards to proposals that target lower income groups.
The Need/Priority criteria help assure that the proposal meets adopted City goals and priorities. The
Feasibility criteria reward projects for timelines and documented additional funding. Theleveraging
Resources criteria reward proposals which will return funds to the City(loans) and for their ability
to leverage other resources. The Capacity and History criteria help gage an applicant's ability to do
the project and reward applicants that have completed successful projects in the past (have good

track records). The ranking sheet used to assist the CDBG Commission and the Affordable Housing
Board is presented in Attachment A.
The Commission also considered the funding guidelines contained in the Priority Affordable
Housing Needs and Strategies report adopted by the Council on February 2, 1999. These
guidelines include:
• CDBG funds should generally be allocated as follows: 65% for Housing projects;
10% for Program Administration; 10% for Public Facilities; and 15% for Public
Services;
• funds allocated to housing should generally be divided as follows: 70% for rental

projects and 30 for om,,��owne h��opnortumhes; and
• the average su sidy sho"p1d be 5 0.per unlitt4ith relatively more funding to
projects producm�ho�u in for we income f�ilies.
The CDBG and HOME Programs are ongoing grant administration programs funded by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Fort Collins has received
CDBG Program funds since 1975. In 1975 and FY 1976-1977 the City received HUD CDBG
discretionary grants. Since FY 1977-1978, the City has been an Entitlement Grant recipient of
CDBG funds, meaning the City is guaranteed a certain level of funding each year. The level of
funding is dependent on the total amount of funds allocated to the program by Congress and on a
formula developed by HUD, which includes data on total population, minorities as a percentage of
population,income levels,hous' gst k ttdi ' n t . d tiofbackground information on the
lipCity's Community Developm Bloc ant P i re a ted in Attachment C. The City has
been a participating jurisdicti in the + ME ment Partnership Program since 1994.

HUD CDBG regulations limit the amount of available funds which can be allocated to various
generic categories. Funds for Planning and Administrative purposes are limited to 20%of the total
of the Entitlement Grant and any Program Income. This means the 20%limitation for Planning and

total of the Entitlement Grant and Program Income,making the amount$210,860.

The CDBG Commission has rCcqWrr1en0dpngfor six Moposals and partial funding for 11
proposals. In the Commission's opinion,these applications recommended for full or partial funding
best fit CDBG Program national objectives, the selection criteria, and the funding guidelines.
Proposals, which did not receive full funding, were deemed of a lower priority and, in some cases,
a lack of funds,program category limitations(especially in the Public Services category),or funding
guidelines prohibited their full funding.
The Commission has recommended no funding for 7 proposals.
The Commission's reasons for either full funding, partial funding, or no funding are presented in
Attachment D.

CARRY-OVER FUNDING FOR THE FALL COMPETITIVE PROCESS CYCLE 2003
In the current Spring Cycle,the CDBG Commission recognizes its recommendations for funding do
not fully allocate all of the available dollars. There will be a carry over of$956,043 in allocated
funds of which $762,081 will be CDBG dollars and$193,962 will be Affordable Housing funds.
These funds will be made available in the Fall funding cycle and targeted to organizations that have
well-defined projects.
The CDBG Commission would like to see organizations have well-defined applications in the Fall
cycle and would feel uncomfortable in fully supporting any projects with numerous unanswered
questions at this time. However, the Commission believes the CDBG dollars can be targeted to a
good project like Neighbor to ig hboF's ousmg S rvic s nte�rin the next funding cycle should
it have awell-defined scope services nd im a entaion plan. In addition, staff also believes
several non-profits will be req ting f dab sing Fund�dollars in the next cycle,which will
absorb the existing carry-over an a new orda a ousing unding available in the Fall Cycle.
