ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 23 Item # 23 Page 2 BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Resolution 2014-041, establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG, HOME and HSP funds for the FY2014 program year that begins October 1, 2014. This includes federal FY2014 CDBG Entitlement Grant funds, a portion of FY2014 HOME Participating Jurisdiction Grant funds and the City’s 2014 HSP funds including an allocation of Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG) funds, which begins October 1, 2014. In addition, CDBG Program Income, FY2013 CDBG Reprogrammed funds, FY2012 CDBG Unprogrammed funds and HOME Program Income dollars are available for immediate expenditure. The following table provides the funding sources for FY2014 allocated in the spring: 2014 CDBG, HOME and HSP Funding Sources Funding Source Amount FY2014 CDBG Entitlement Grant $924,036 CDBG Program Income $797,304 FY2013 CDBG Reprogrammed $250,000 FY2012 CDBG Unprogrammed $61,245 FY2014 HOME Participating Jurisdiction Grant* $539,698* HOME Program Income - Housing Projects $530,280 HOME Program Income - Administration & Planning $43,192 FY2014 HSP $389,601 FY2014 HSP KFCG $250,047 Total $3,785,403 *HOME Funds are typically approved in the spring and allocated during the fall funding cycle. The FY2014 HOME Grant portion for housing, $485,729 (grant of $539,698 minus the $53,969 for Planning and Administration) is not included in the total available funds for spring. The FY2014 CDBG Entitlement Grant is $924,036 and the City received $797,304 in CDBG Program Income. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% of CDBG Entitlement and CDBG Program Income to be used for planning and program administrative purposes. Program Income includes repayments from rehabilitation loans, homebuyer assistance loans, acquisition loans and development loans. Program Income must be expended as soon as is reasonable, whereas CDBG Entitlement dollars are available for expenditure beginning October 1, 2014. Twenty percent of the FY2014 CDBG Entitlement Grant is $184,807 and 14% (amount requested by staff) of CDBG Program Income is $111,109 for a total of $295,916. HUD regulations require that the Program Income designated to Planning and Administration must be spent by the end of the current fiscal year, which is September 30, 2014. CDBG Reprogrammed funds ($250,000) are monies returned to the program that were allocated in a prior year. CARE Housing received funding in the spring of 2013 for pre-development costs for their Provincetowne II project. Because the project will not be ready to proceed as soon as anticipated, funds were returned to the program. CDBG Unprogrammed funds ($61,245) are Planning and Administration dollars that were not disbursed. HUD regulations require both categories of funds go back into the program for housing projects. The maximum limit allowed by HUD regulations in the Public (Human) Services category for the CDBG Entitlement Grant and CDBG Program Income is 15% (Reprogrammed and Unprogrammed dollars are not allowed to be used towards this category). Allowable CDBG funds in this category total $218,889 - $138,605 from the CDBG Entitlement Grant and $80,284 from CDBG Program Income. The City’s FY2014 HSP adds $389,601 and HSP KFCG funds add an additional $250,047, for use in the category for a total of $639,648 of available City funds. The total available funding in the Public (Human) Services category is $858,537. Resolution 2014-042, establishes the major funding categories within the HOME program for the FY2014 program year, which starts October 1, 2014. The FY2014 HOME grant is $539,698, HOME 2014 Program Income for housing projects is $530,280, and HOME Program Income for Planning and Administration is $43,192, for a total of $1,113,170. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 10% of the HOME Grant, or $53,969, and eligible Program Income ($43,192) for a total of $97,161, to be used for HOME program administrative purposes. HUD regulations also require a 15% set-aside of the HOME grant, or $80,954, for Community Agenda Item 23 Item # 23 Page 3 Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). CHDOs in Fort Collins include CARE Housing, Neighbor to Neighbor, and The Villages (formerly the Fort Collins Housing Corporation). Considering the set-asides for Planning and Administration and Public (Human) Services mentioned above, along with the balance of the FY2014 CDBG Entitlement Grant ($600,624); the balance of FY2013 CDBG Program Income ($605,911); FY2013 CDBG Reprogrammed ($250,000); FY2012 CDBG Unprogrammed ($61,245) amounts; and HOME Program Income ($573,472), a total of $2,091,252 is available for allocation to the Housing category. The following tables summarize the total funding amounts and sources of available from CDBG and HOME funds for Planning and Administration during the FY2014 fiscal year: Available Funding for FY2014 CDBG Planning and Administration Funding Source Planning and Administration FY2014 CDBG Grant $184,807 CDBG Program Income* $111,109 Total Available Funding $295,916 *CDBG Program Income for Planning and Administration ($111,109) must be expended by September 30, 2014 per HUD Regulations.

Agenda Item 23 Item # 23 Page 4 The City received a total of 42 applications for funding and staff administration requests for CDBG and HOME as part of the 2014 spring funding cycle, resulting in a total request of $3,493,840. The total amount of funds available for housing and public service projects in the spring from all sources is $2,906,597. This does not include HOME Grant funds of $485,729 typically allocated during the fall funding cycle. Application requests were $544,051 higher than available funding. HUD regulation limitations within the Public Service category results in a total of $447,112 more in requests than available funds in that category. Unfortunately, funds in the Planning/Administration and Housing categories cannot be used to fund any Public Service applications. The following table summarizes the amount of funding requests compared to the amount of funding available for each of the major funding categories: Housing and Public Service Funding Requests by Category Category Number of Applications Available Funding Requested Funding Available - Request Difference FY2014 CDBG Planning & Administration * $295,916 $295,916 $0 FY2014 HOME Planning & Administration * $97,161 $97,161 $0 Housing 5 $2,048,060 $2,188,191 -$140,131 Public (Human) Services 37 $858,537 $1,305,649 -$447,112 Totals 42 $3,299,674 $3,886,917 -$587,243 FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program (typically allocated in the fall) 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. During FY2014, the total amount of CDBG funds available for allocation is $2,032,585 and $1,113,170 for HOME. The City’s General Fund contributes $389,601 in the Human Services Program (HSP) and $250,047 in HSP KFCG funds for allocation during the Spring Cycle of the Competitive Process, and $325,047 in Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) dollars in the fall. The total City contribution for FY2014 is $964,695. HOME grant funds are typically allocated in the fall process. In FY2014 HOME Program Income is being allocated in the spring so funds can be spent as quickly as possible to satisfy HUD regulations. Also, this spring the CDBG Commission is deviating from normal procedures by recommending $140,131 of HOME Grant funds be allocated in the spring to fill the funding gap between requested and available funds for the five housing proposals. Through the provision of affordable housing, more of Fort Collins’ work force is able to reside within the community. This creates an available labor pool within the city, which helps maintain economic sustainability. Public/human services programs contribute to economic sustainability by providing access to programs such as job training and child care that enable workers to maintain employment and housing. By providing funding to these programs - either for facility upgrades or partial purchase of service locations; the agencies are better able to utilize other funds to serve their clients. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Affordable housing programs help provide for a healthy environment. By offering affordable housing options for lower income people, more of Fort Collins’ work force can live in the community rather than living outside city limits and commuting to the city for work. In addition, many affordable housing projects are located within close proximity to City bus routes. This helps reduce traffic congestion and vehicle miles traveled, thereby reducing pollution and improving air quality. Agenda Item 23 Item # 23 Page 5 Affordable housing developers, including for-profit and non-profit agencies, are utilizing green building practices in both new construction and major rehabilitation of existing housing unit projects. These practices include geo-thermal applications and other energy saving techniques. All affordable housing projects utilizing CDBG and HOME funds are required to pass a HUD Environmental Review, which covers such items as noise impacts, floodplains, hazardous materials, etc. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The CDBG Commission presents recommendations on which programs and projects in the housing and public service categories should receive funding from the available funding sources presented above, including CDBG, HOME and HSP. Allocation of HOME funds for specific affordable housing projects/programs and community development activities, is normally determined in November as a result of the fall funding cycle of the Competitive Process. In this cycle, funding requests totaled $140,131 more than the housing category’s available funds. The CDBG Commission determined all five housing proposals were projects that would benefit from receiving full funding in the spring. This recommendation deviates from the established process approved by Council in 2000 (Resolution 2000-13). A similar deviation occurred following the Spring Cycle of 2012, where Council approved partial allocation of the City’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) to fill a gap in a funding request by the Fort Collins Housing Authority (Resolution 2012-037). This year, the CDBG Commission is recommending using $140,131 of FY2014 HOME Grant funds to fill the gap present in the 2014 Spring Cycle. In addition, the HOME Program Income was allocated in the spring to satisfy HUD requirements for immediate expenditure of program income dollars.

In the Housing category the Commission has recommended full funding for all 5 proposals, using $104,131 of the HOME Grant funds typically allocated in the fall funding cycle to fill the gap. The Commission has recommended that 6 of the 37 Public Service proposals receive full funding; 26 proposals receive partial funding (ranging from 24% to 91%); and 5 proposals receive no funding. The justifications for the CDBG Commission’s recommendations can be found in the minutes from the April 10, 2014 meeting (not yet approved by the CDBG Commission), submitted here as Attachment 5. PUBLIC OUTREACH HUD regulations require a 30-day public comment period on the proposed allocation of CDBG funds as recommended by the CDBG Commission. Staff placed an ad in the Coloradoan on April 13, 2014, presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects, and also indicated the public comment period would run from April 14, 2014 - May 13, 2014. Additionally, the public notice announcing funding recommendations was placed on the Social Sustainability Department’s website and distributed to 12 entities serving a majority Agenda Item 23 Item # 23 Page 8 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN: 2014 AMENDMENT The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets forth five major reporting activities that it requires of communities receiving federal funds. The City of Fort Collins submits several large reports and plans each year as part of that framework. An additional reporting component is the Citizen Participation Plan. This document upholds HUD’s values for inclusive, accessible, and equitable engagement for all community members in the planning and decision making processes of government. As such, it outlines requirements for everything from the length of public review periods to communications standards for public notices. The Citizen Participation Plan was last updated in 2010. The Citizen Participation Plan: 2014 Amendment is a major reworking, intended to address and implement-- among other things--new regulatory requirements and communications standards best practices. The amendment was crafted to reflect the City’s commitments to regulatory compliance, “exceptional service for an exceptional community,” and operational excellence for civic engagement. It was also redesigned to be a more effective reference tool for compliance. The draft document requires a 30-day public review period before its final submittal to HUD in August. Notice of the review period was published in The Coloradoan, posted on the City’s website, and posted and shared at a dozen community partner entities serving those community members in legally protected classes (e.g., racial/ethnic minorities, persons with a disability, female heads of households) or other persons with potential barriers to civic participation. The draft document was available at all three Poudre River Library District branches, at the Social Sustainability Department, and on the City’s web site. In addition, focus group chats (some bilingual) were conducted at the Murphy Center, the Family Center/la Familia, and Circles Larimer. The Citizen Participation Plan: 2014 Amendment was reviewed internally by City staff in Social Sustainability, CPIO, the City Attorney’s Office, and by the Grants Compliance Administrator. The amendment does not require formal recommendation by the CDBG Commission. The draft document was reviewed by the City’s HUD Community Partnership Division (CPD) and Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) division representatives. It was also subject to an official review by HUD staff during a mid-May, on-site monitoring at the City of Fort Collins, with satisfactory results. To date, no complaints or concerns regarding the draft document have been received. This Citizen Participation Plan: 2014 Amendment is being brought forward, as required, for City Council adoption. The document is included as Exhibit A to Resolution 2014-043. ATTACHMENTS 1. Background Summary of Recommendations (PDF) 2. Competitive Process Background (PDF) 3.
