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:

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:

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 City received 31 applications for funding and a staff administration request as part of the 2011 spring cycle of the
competitive process requesting a total of $2,678,987. 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.

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

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.
