EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Resolution 2011-063 will complete the 2011 spring cycle of the competitive process for allocating City financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and community development activities by listing the specific programs/projects that will receive funding starting October 1, 2011. Ordinance No. 096, 2011, appropriates the City’s FY 2011 CDBG Entitlement Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Resolution 2011- 064 establishes the major funding categories within the HOME Program for the FY 2011 program year, which also starts on October 1, 2011. Specific projects for the use of HOME funds will be determined in November as a result of the 2011 fall cycle of the competitive process. Ordinance No. 097, 2011, appropriates the City’s FY 2011 HOME Participating Jurisdiction Grant from HUD. Resolution 2011-065 eliminates the restriction on $60,000 of Affordable Housing Fund dollars that they be used for the acquisition of former rental properties by first-time home buyers to allowing the funds to be used for the purchases of non-rental properties. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Resolution 2011-063 establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG funds for the FY 2011 program year (including funds from the Entitlement Grant and Program Income), which starts on October 1, 2011; which programs and projects will receive funding from carry-over funds from the HOME Program; and which programs will receive funding from the City’s 2011 Human Services Program. The CDBG Commission presents to the City Council a list of recommendations as to which programs and projects should receive funding. The following table summarizes the total amount and sources of all available CDBG, HOME, and City funds for distribution during the spring cycle of the competitive process: COPY COPY COPY COPY July 19, 2011 -2- ITEM 25 AMOUNT SOURCE $923,469 FY 2011 CDBG Entitlement Grant 61,815 FY 2011 CDBG Program Income 8,883 Prior Year’s CDBG Program Income 191,338 FY 2010 Unprogrammed CDBG Funds 211,906 FY 2010 Unprogrammed HOME Funds 102,381 FY 2010 Unprogrammed HOME CHDO Funds 25,328 FY 2004 Unprogrammed HOME Funds 389,601 2011 City Human Services Program 150,733 2011 City Human Services KFCG Funds $2,065,454 Total Funding Available Unprogrammed funds are funds from previous years that have yet to be allocated to specific programs or projects. Program Income includes repayments from rehabilitation loans and home buyer assistance loans along with repayments from development loans. Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) funds are HOME funds that need to be reserved for allocation to agencies which qualify as CHDOs including the Fort Collins Housing Corporation, CARE Housing, and Neighbor-to-Neighbor, Inc.. The FY 2011 CDBG Entitlement Grant and CDBG Program Income totals $994,167. HUD regulations limit a maximum of 20% of these funds, or $198,832, for planning and program administrative purposes. The following table summarizes the amount and sources of available funds for planning projects and CDBG Program administrative costs: Funding for Planning and CDBG Program Administration AMOUNT SOURCE $184,693 20% of the FY 2011 CDBG Entitlement Grant 12,363 20% of FY 2011 CDBG Program Income 1,776 20% of Prior Year’s CDBG Program Income $198,832 Total Funding Available for Planning and CDBG Program Administration HUD regulations limit a maximum of 15% of the FY 2011 CDBG funds and CDBG Program Income, or $149,124 for use in the Public Services category. The City’s 2011 Human Services Program adds $389,601 and Human Services Program KFCG funds adds an additional $150,733, for use in the category, for a total of $689,458 of available funding.

The total amount of funds available from all sources is $2,065,454. The total of application requests is, thus, $613,533 more than the amount of available funding. Also, HUD regulation limitations within the Public Services category results in a total of $260,697 more in requests than available funds for the category. Unfortunately, funds in the Planning and Administration and Affordable Housing categories can not 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. Category Number of Applications Requested Funding Available Funding Request-Available Difference Affordable Housing 3 $1,530,000 $1,177,164 -$352,836 Public Services 28 $950,155 $689,458 -260,697 Administration - $198,832 $198,832 0 Totals 31 $2,678,987 $2,065,454 $-613,533 Removing Restrictions on the Use of Affordable Housing Funds in the Home Buyer Assistance Program The City’s Home Buyers Assistance (HBA) Program uses funding from the HOME and CDBG federal grants and the City’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF). In the past, normal assistance has been split with 50% coming from the HOME Program and 50% coming from the CDBG Program (federal regulations limit the use of CDBG funds to be no more than 50% of the total assistance). The City’s AHF dollars have been earmarked for assistance to families wishing to purchase former rental housing units (for the use of federal funds, federal regulations require rental units to be vacant for three months in order to avoid displacement concerns and relocation payments). With the change in federal HOME regulations, it is now basically impossible to continue using HOME funds as the 50% match to CDBG funds in providing down payment and closing cost assistance in the HBA Program. Staff is suggesting that the City change its policy regarding the use of the AHF in the HBA program, eliminating the condition that they be used only for the acquisition of former rental units and allowing the funds to be used for any home purchase. Staff’s request is to remove the “former rental unit only” restriction for $60,000 of AHF dollars already approved through the competitive process for the HBA. This $60,000 could then be used to match $60,000 of CDBG funds already allocated to the HBA Program. This would still leave $84,000 of AHF to assist first-time home buyers wishing to purchase former rental units. Without the ability to use AHF as a match, assistance in the HBA would be limited to CDBG funds, or only half the amount of assistance families would need to acquire a new home. Stated another way, without a 50% match to CDBG funds, families would need to have between $4,000 and $5,000 of their own money to buy a home – not many low- income families have that amount of funds available. The CDBG Commission discussed this issue at its monthly meeting on February 10, 2011, and voted unanimously to recommend the requested change in the use of AHF dollars (see Attachment 8). The Affordable Housing Board discussed this issue at its monthly meeting on March 3, 2011, and voted unanimously to recommend the requested change in the use of AHF dollars (see Attachment 9). Resolution 2011-065 would eliminate the restrictions on the use of $60,000 of Affordable Housing Funds currently earmarked for the acquisition of former rental properties and permit the funds to be used for the acquisition of any COPY COPY COPY COPY July 19, 2011 -4- ITEM 25 FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and the Home Investment Partnership (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 total amount of CDBG funds available for allocation during FY 2011 is $1,185,505, while the total amount of HOME funds for FY 2011 is $644,352. Together, the CDBG and HOME programs provide $1,829,857 of federal funds to the City. The City’s General Fund does contribute $389,601 in the Human Services Program and $150,733 of KFCG funds for allocation during the spring cycle, and $325,024 of Affordable Housing Fund dollars for the fall cycle of the competitive process. Through the provision of affordable housing, more of Fort Collins’ work force can reside within the community. This means there is an available labor pool within the city, which is a positive benefit to economic sustainability. Public/human service programs contribute to economic sustainability by providing such programs as job training and child care, so workers can maintain their employment. 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 instead of being forced to live outside the community and commute into the city for work. This helps reduce traffic congestion and, thus, improves air quality. Affordable housing developers, including for-profit and non-profit agencies, are utilizing green building practices. Green building practices are being used 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions and the Ordinances on First Reading.
