A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 044, 2012, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations Between Program Years in the Community Development Block Grant Fund. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2012, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations Between Program Years in the Home Investment Partnership Fund. C. Resolution 2012-037 Allocating Appropriated Monies from the 2012 Affordable Housing Fund for the Fort Collins Housing Authority’s Supportive Housing Project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ordinance No. 044, 2012, appropriates the City’s FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Ordinance No. 045, 2012, appropriates the City’s FY 2012 HOME Participating Jurisdiction Grant from HUD. Both Ordinances were unanimously adopted on First Reading on May 15, 2012. Resolution 2012-037 will complete the 2012 spring cycle of the Competitive Process, by allocating City financial resources to the Fort Collins Housing Authority’s Supportive Housing project. The additional allocation addresses a $131,892 funding shortfall in currently available and allocated spring Competitive Process monies allowed for Council action on request and/or CDBG Commission recommendations for the Housing and Public Facility funding category. This action would fill the funding gap for the Housing Authority’s requested amount of $455,000 for its Supportive Housing project. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION City Council desires to fully fund all application funding requests and/or CDBG Commission recommendations in the Housing and Public Facility category for the Spring 2012 Competitive Process. Those funding amounts are: Disabled Resource Services Building Purchase--$385,000 and Fort Collins Housing Authority Supportive Housing Project-- $455,000. At its meeting on May 15, 2012, Council adopted Resolution 2012-035 which allotted all monies available for allocation in this funding category, leaving a $131,892 shortfall in funding for the Housing Authority’s requested $455,000. This Resolution would utilize a portion ($131,892) of an already appropriated amount of $325,000 in the City’s Affordable Housing Fund, normally allocated in the fall cycle of the Competitive Process, which is reserved for housing projects. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinances on Second Reading and the Resolution. ATTACHMENTS 1. Copy of First Reading Agenda Item Summary - May 15, 2012 (w/o attachments) 2.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Resolution 2012-035 will complete the 2012 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, 2012. Ordinance No. 044, 2012, appropriates the City’s FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Resolution 2012- 036 establishes the major funding categories within the HOME Program for the FY 2012 program year, which also starts on October 1, 2012. Specific projects for the use of HOME funds will be determined in November as a result of the 2012 fall cycle of the competitive process. Ordinance No. 045, 2012, appropriates the City’s FY 2012 HOME Participating Jurisdiction Grant from HUD. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Resolution 2012-035 establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG funds for the FY 2012 program year (including the Entitlement Grant, Program Income, and Unprogrammed funds), which starts on October 1, 2012; and which programs will receive funding from the City’s 2012 Human Services Program, including an allocation of Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG) funds. 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 and City funds for distribution during the 2012 spring cycle of the competitive process: Available Funding AMOUNT SOURCE $977,729 FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant 67,436 FY 2011 CDBG Program Income 28,750 FY 2011 Unprogrammed CDBG Funds 389,601 2012 City Human Services Program 150,733 2012 City Human Services Program $1,614,248 Total Funding Available COPY COPY COPY COPY May 15, 2012 -2- ITEM 21 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. The FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant and FY 2011 CDBG Program Income totals $1,045,164. HUD regulations limit a maximum of 20% of these funds, or $209,032, for planning and program administrative purposes. The FY 2011 Unprogrammed CDBG funds cannot be used in the calculation for planning and administrative purposes because they were subjected to the calculation for the FY 2011 program year. 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 $195,545 20% of the FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant 13,487 20% of FY 2011 CDBG Program Income $209,032 Total Funding Available for Planning and CDBG Program Administration HUD regulations limit a maximum of 15% of the FY 2012 CDBG funds and FY 2011 CDBG Program Income, or $156,774 for use in the Public (Human) Services category. The City’s 2012 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 $697,108 of available funding in the Public (Human) Services category. The FY 2011 Unprogrammed CDBG funds can not be used in the calculation for public service purposes because they were subjected to the calculation for the FY 2011 program year. The following table summarizes the amount and sources of available funds for public/human service proposals: Funding for Public (Human) Services AMOUNT SOURCE $146,659 15% of the FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant 10,115 15% of FY 2011 CDBG Program Income 389,601 2012 City Human Services Program 150,733 2012 City Human Services KFCG Funds $697,108 Total Funding Available for Public/Human Services Proposals Considering the set-asides for Planning and Administration and Public (Human) Services presented above, the balance of the FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant and FY 2011 CDBG Program Income amounts, or $679,358, plus $28,750 of unprogrammed FY 2011 CDBG funds provide an amount of $708,108 available for allocation to affordable housing and public facility proposals. The following table summarizes the amount and sources of available funds for affordable housing and public facility proposals: Funding for Affordable Housing and Public Facilities AMOUNT SOURCE $635,524 FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant $43,834 FY 2011 CDBG Program Income $28,750 FY 2011 Unprogrammed CDBG Funds $708,108 Total Funding Available for Affordable Housing Proposals COPY COPY COPY COPY May 15, 2012 -3- ITEM 21 The City received 30 applications for funding (not counting one affordable housing proposal which was subsequently withdrawn by the applicant) and a staff administration request as part of the 2012 spring cycle of the competitive process requesting a total of $1,745,240. The total amount of funds available from all sources is $1,614,248. The total of application requests is, thus, about $131,000 more than the amount of available funding. Also, HUD regulation limitations within the Public Services category results in a total of $307,100 more in requests than available funds for the category. Unfortunately, funds in the Planning and Administration and Affordable Housing and Public Facility 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. Category Number of Applications Requested Funding Available Funding Request-Available Difference Affordable Housing & Public Facilities 2 $532,000 $708,108 $176,108 Public Services 28 1,004,208 697,108 -307,100 Administration 209,032 209,032 0 Totals 30 $1,745,240 $1,614,248 -$130,992 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 2012 is $1,073,914. 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 $325,047 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 services programs contribute to economic sustainability by providing such programs as job training and child care, so workers can maintain their employment and housing situations. The City of Fort Collins sees its Competitive Process dollars as an investment in community sustainability. Social sustainability is an important part of that triple bottom line decision making. Funds allocated provide dollars that leverage other funding to support important programs and projects. The City does not view itself as a human services or affordable housing agency, but rather a community partner working in team with others in addressing these critical sustainability dynamics. Funds are strategically allocated to areas of service and funding gaps. Key focus areas are: basic health and safety (emergency food, shelter, etc.); programs that serve vulnerable populations (homebound seniors, persons with HIV/AIDs); empowerment or poverty intervention/prevention programs (job training, self- sufficiency); and programs that decrease immediate or long-term community cost or impact or multiply benefits back over the long-term (early childhood education and child care, homelessness prevention). In terms of citizen surveys, results that citizens want, and Council policy priorities, Competitive Process funding is a foundational building block. Empowered and stabilized families and households contribute to thriving neighborhoods. Higher quality neighborhoods lead to a more sustainable, healthy community in all aspects. 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. COPY COPY COPY COPY May 15, 2012 -4- ITEM 21 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. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The CDBG Commission presents recommendations as to which programs and projects should receive funding from the available funding sources presented above, including CDBG funds and the Human Services Program (HSP). The following tables present the allocations recommended by the Commission to the City Council within each major category: Planning and Administration Category Applicant Project/Program Request and Recommendation Source(s) of Funding Unfunded Balance Percent of Request Funded AD-1 City of Fort Collins CDBG Administration Request $209,032 Recommendation $209,032 $195,545 FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant $13,487 CDBG Program Income $0 100% Affordable Housing and Public Facility Category Applicant Project/Program Request and Recommendation Source(s) of Funding Unfunded Balance Percent of Request Funded HO-1 Fort Collins Housing Authority (FCHA): Supportive Housing Request $455,000 Recommendation $323,108 $250,524 FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement COPY COPY COPY COPY May 15, 2012 -5- ITEM 21 Public (Human) Service Category Applicant Project/Program Request and Recommendation Source(s) of Funding Unfunded Balance Percent of Request Funded PS-1 Alliance for Suicide Prevention: Education & Awareness Programs Request $3,000 Recommendation $3,000 $3,000 (HSP Grant) $0 100% PS-2 B.A.S.E.

The Commission has recommended that the affordable housing proposal receive 71% of its funding request and that the public service proposal receive 500% of its funding request. While recommending that an applicant receive more funding than what was requested is unusual, it is not unprecedented. In 2002, the City Council followed the Commission’s recommendation and allocated over $299,000 to the City’s Home Buyer Assistance Program which initially requested $250,000. The Commission has recommended that 4 of the 28 public service proposals receive full funding; 23 proposals receive partial funding (ranging from 40% to 94%); and 1 proposal to receive no funding. The justifications for the Commission’s recommendations can be found in Attachment 5, Minutes of the April 12, 2012, meeting. 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 newspaper presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects and indicated the public comment period would start on April 16, 2012, and end on May 15, 2012. The Fort Collins Housing Authority has challenged the Commission’s recommendation for reduced funding for the Authority’s Supportive Housing project (letter attached). Conversely, Disabled Resource Services was thankful for the recommendation for building purchase that it received (letter attached). Staff has prepared the following options for Council’s consideration: OPTION 1: Maintain the CDBG Commission’s funding recommendations. FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant $250,524 Fort Collins Housing Authority: Supportive Housing 385,000 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase FY 2011 CDBG Program Income $43,834 Fort Collins Housing Authority: Supportive Housing FY 2011 CDBG Unprogrammed Funds $28,750 Fort Collins Housing Authority: Supportive Housing Funding totaling $323,108 would be allocated to the Fort Collins Housing Authority for its Supportive Housing project; and funding of $385,000 would be allocated for Disabled Resource Services (DRS). Choosing this option would leave no remaining funding in this category. OPTION 2: Modify the funding recommendation of the CDBG Commission to increase funding for the FCHA and decrease funding for DRS. FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant $455,000 Fort Collins Housing Authority: Supportive Housing 180,524 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase COPY COPY COPY COPY May 15, 2012 -9- ITEM 21 FY 2011 CDBG Program Income $43,834 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase FY 2011 CDBG Unprogrammed Funds $28,750 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase This option would increase the funding allocation for the Fort Collins Housing Authority’s Supportive Housing project to the requested amount of $455,000. Doing so would require a reduction in funds allocated for Disabled Resource Services new building purchase proposal to $253,108. Choosing this option would leave no remaining funding in this category. Note: Staff subsequently discussed Option 2 with DRS, and they are agreeable to the reduced amount ($253,108) of funding. The reduced amount is $176,108 over what DRS originally asked for ($77,000). OPTION 3: Modify the funding recommendations of the CDBG Commission to what was originally requested for both proposals. FY 2012 CDBG Entitlement Grant $455,000 Fort Collins Housing Authority: Supportive Housing 4,416 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase FY 2011 CDBG Program Income $43,834 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase FY 2011 CDBG Unprogrammed Funds $28,750 Disabled Resource Services: Robertson Building Purchase This option would allocate the funding as originally requested: $455,000 for FCHA’s Supportive Housing Project and $77,000 for Disabled Resource Services building purchase. Choosing this option would mean the full amount of CDBG funds would be appropriated, but $176,108 in CDBG funds would carry over to the fall 2012 Competitive Process cycle. Some applicants were disappointed in what resulted in an average five to ten thousand dollar funding decrease from last year’s allocations, but understood the realities of a three hundred thousand dollar shortfall on what was requested compared to what was available. Many agencies also been impacted by United Way funding cuts, and State and other funding reductions. In light of these challenges, many applicants expressed gratitude for anticipated City dollars, regardless of the amount. The City received several phone calls and letters. An April 20, 2012, letter from CASA-Court Appointed Special Advocates (copy attached) expressing disappointment with the Commission’s recommendation for no ($0) funding for CASA’s Program Support application, which requested $12,995. Staff does not expect CASA to appeal to the Council for funding at the May 15 meeting. In order for the City to allocate any funding to CASA, a funding recommendation for another agency(s) would need to be reduced as the Commission has recommended all funds eligible for distribution to public/human service agencies be allocated. The City also received a letter from Elderhaus regarding its reduced funding for the Mindset Therapy Center Activity Program (attached). Elderhaus was not critical of the Competitive Process and is not expected to formally contest the Commission’s recommendation, but did make an impassioned plea for additional funding. Again, in order for the City to allocate additional funding to Elderhaus, a funding recommendation for another agency(s) would need to be reduced, as all funds available were allocated. HOME Program Resolution 2012-036 establishes the major funding categories within the HOME Program for the FY 2012 Program year, which starts on October 1, 2012. Specific projects for the use of HOME funds will be determined in November as a result of the 2012 fall funding cycle of the competitive process for the allocation of the City’s financial resources to affordable housing programs/projects and community development activities. Overall HOME funding needing approval is $743,833. This overall amount includes: the FY 2012 HOME Grant of $542,507 and total FY 2011 Program Income of $201,326. Of that, dollars available for HOME Program Administration equals $57,556 (10% of Entitlement COPY COPY COPY COPY May 15, 2012 -10- ITEM 21 [$54,250] and a portion [$3,306] of HOME FY 2011Program Income). After Administration costs, there is $686,277 remaining, to be allocated to specific projects in the fall. The following table summarizes the sources of HOME funding for FY 2012. Amount Source $542,507 FY 2012 HOME Participating Jurisdictions Grant ($54,250 for Administration) 201,326 FY 2011 HOME Program Income ($3,306 for Administration) $743,833 Total HUD regulations allow a maximum of 10% of the HOME grant, or $54,250, and $3,306 of eligible Program Income, for a total of $57,556, for program administrative purposes. The following table summarizes the distribution of HOME funding. Recommended Funding % of Total Category $ 57,556 7.7% HOME Program Administration 686,277 92.3% Other Affordable Housing Projects $743,833 100.0% Total In addition to the HOME funds above, $325,047 from the City’s Affordable Fund will be also available for allocation to affordable housing proposals in the fall cycle of the competitive process.
