AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 10
SUBJECT
Items Relating to the Completion of the 2012 Spring Cycle of the Competitive Process for Allocating City Financial
Resources to Affordable Housing and Community Development Activities Utilizing Funds from the Federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and the City’s Human Services Program.
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.

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:

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

May 15, 2012 -8- ITEM 21
A summary of the Commission's funding recommendations by category is presented in the following table:
Recommended Funding % of Total Category
$708,108 43.9% Affordable Housing and Public Facility
697,108 43.2% Public Services
209,032 12.9% CDBG Administration
$1,614,248 100.0% Total
The CDBG Commission has recommended all (100%) of the available funding amount of $1,614,248 be allocated.
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

[$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.

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

686,277 92.3% Other Affordable Housing Projects

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.

WHEREAS, the Home Investment Partnership Program (the “HOME Program”) was

supply of decent, safe, and affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, on March 1, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution 1994-092 authorizing
the Mayor to submit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) a notification
of intent to participate in the HOME Program; and
WHEREAS, on May 26, 1994, HUD designated the City as a Participating Jurisdiction in
the HOME Program, allowing the City to receive an allocation of HOME Program funds as long as
Congress re-authorizes and continues to fund the program; and
WHEREAS, the City has been notified by HUD that the City’s HOME Participating
Jurisdiction Grant for the federal fiscal year 2012-2013 is $542,507; and

received during the fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 10, of the Charter authorizes the City Council to transfer by
ordinance any unexpected and unencumbered amount or portion thereof from one fund or capital
project to another fund or capital project, provided that the purpose for which the funds were
initially appropriated no longer exists; and
WHEREAS, City staff has determined that the appropriation of the HOME Program funds
as described herein will not cause the total amount appropriated in the HOME Program Fund to
exceed the current estimate of actual and anticipated revenues to be received in that fund during the
2012 fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 11, of the City Charter provides that federal grant
appropriations shall not lapse if unexpended at the end of the fiscal year until the expiration of the
federal grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT

RESOLUTION 2012-037
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
ALLOCATING APPROPRIATED MONIES FROM THE
2012 AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUND FOR THE
FORT COLLINS HOUSING AUTHORITY’S SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROJECT
WHEREAS, on January 18, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution 2000-013,
establishing a competitive process for the allocation of City financial resources to affordable housing
programs and projects, and community development activities (the “Competitive Process”); and
WHEREAS, On May 15, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-035, approving
the programs and projects that will receive funds from the Federal Community Development Block
Grant Program and the City’s Human Services Program as part of the spring Competitive Process;
and
WHEREAS, based on recommendations from the CDBG Commission, Resolution 2012-035
presented the City Council with three options for dividing $708,108 in available Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding between a request for funding from the Fort Collins
Housing Authority (FCHA) for its Supportive Housing Project, and a request from Disabled
Resource Services for purchase of a building; and
WHEREAS, the City Council chose to approve funding in the amount of $385,000 for
Disabled Resource Services and $455,000 for FCHA, leaving a shortfall in available funding of
$131,892 for the FCHA’s Project; and
WHEREAS, funds sufficient to cover this shortfall are appropriated and available for
expenditure in the City’s Affordable Housing Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Competitive Process states that CDBG funds will be allocated in the spring,
while HOME and Affordable Housing funds will be allocated in the fall; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to make an exception to the Competitive Process in this
instance in order to allocate $131,892 of Affordable Housing Fund moneys as part of the spring
2012 Competitive Process, as the Council has determined that funding of both projects at this time
is important and time-sensitive, and serves a public purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS that the sum of ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
NINETY-TWO DOLLARS ($131,892) in the City’s Affordable Housing Fund is hereby approved
for expenditure to fund the Fort Collins Housing Authority’s Supportive Housing Project as part of
the 2012 spring cycle of the Competitive Process.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins this 5th
