STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and both Ordinances on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Resolution 2018-054 establishes which programs and projects will receive funding with CDBG, HOME, AHF and HSP funds for the 2018 program year. CDBG and HOME are federal dollars allocated through HUD. AHF and HSP funds are allocated from the General Fund (GF) and Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG). In 2018 the total available dollar amount is $5,205,993. The following table shows available dollars in each funding category: Agenda Item 7 Item # 7 Page 2 FY2018 Funding Categories Funding Source Amount FY2018 Housing (combined federal and City funds) $3,970,661 FY2018 Human (Public) Service (combined federal and City funds) $925,083 FY 2018 Planning and Administration (federal funds) $310,249 Total $5,205,993 Available federal money for FY2018 is $3,922,540. These funds are sourced from 6 categories designated by HUD, including: FY2018 Entitlement Grants (CDBG and HOME – new funding), FY2017 Unanticipated Program Revenue (CDBG and HOME – new funding), Prior Year Funds (CDBG and HOME – reappropriated). Unanticipated Revenue Funds include repayments from loans issued for rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and development. Prior Year Funds represent previously Council-committed funds that are available for reallocation in the housing category only. The Prior Year Funds (CDBG and HOME, FY2017) are available to contract during the current program year, HUD FY2017. The FY2017 HUD regulations allow for the following distribution: • 15% of CDBG program income received in the prior year for Human (Public) Services • 10% of HOME program income received during the program year to be used for planning and program administration HUD regulations also require a 15% set-aside of the FY2018 HOME Entitlement Grant ($127,005), for agencies certified as Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). Fort Collins currently has one CHDO, Habitat for Humanity, which is recommended to receive $80,000 of this set-aside for their FY2018 Poudre Build project. Total federal contribution to the Housing category is $3,445,614. The maximum limit allowed by HUD regulations in the Human (Public) Service category for the CDBG Entitlement grant and current year CDBG Program Income (received 10/01/17 thru 03/31/18) is 15%. Total federal contribution to the Human (Public) Service category is $166,677: $160,982 from the FY2018 CDBG Entitlement grant and $5,695 from CDBG FY2017 Unanticipated Program Income. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% of the CDBG Entitlement grant ($214,642) to be used for CDBG planning and program administration. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 10% of HOME Entitlement grant ($84,670) and HOME Unanticipated Revenue ($10,937) (received 10/01/17 thru 03/31/18) to be used for CDBG planning and program administration. Total federal contribution to the Planning and Program Administration category is $310,249.

The City’s contribution to the Human (Public) Service category is $758,406. City Funds do not contribute towards planning and program administration. The following table provides a summary of 2018 City Funding for Housing and Human (Public) Service, including differentiation between General Fund and KFCG sources for each: CITY FUNDS Funding Source Total Funds Housing Human (Public) Service Planning / Admin Human Service Program (GF) $ 385,119 $ 385,119 Affordable Housing Fund (GF) $ 325,047 $ 325,047 KFCG $ 573,287 $ 200,000 $ 373,287 TOTAL City Funds $ 1,283,453 $ 525,047 $ 758,406 COMBINED FUNDING TOTALS: FEDERAL + CITY Total Funds Housing Human (Public) Service Planning / Admin $ 5,205,993 $ 3,970,661 $ 925,083 $310,249 The City received 44 housing, public facility and human (public) service applications totaling $6,910,293. In the housing category, 5 proposals were received totaling $5,500,000. There is a shortage in Housing dollars of Agenda Item 7 Item # 7 Page 4 FY2018 Funding Requests by Category Category Number of Applications Available Funding Requested Funding Available - Request Difference Administration - CDBG $214,642 $214,642 $0 Administration - HOME $95,607 $95,607 $0 Housing 5 $3,970,661 $5,500,000 - 1,576,344 * Human (Public) Service & Public Facility 39 $925,083 $1,410,293 - $485,210 Totals 44 $5,205,993 $7,220,542 - $2,061,554 * HUD regulations require a 15% set-aside for an eligible CHDO-approved project. The remaining CHDO set- aside amount, after the FY2018 Habitat for Humanity project allocation, is $47,005. These funds will be committed to a CHDO-eligible project during a future grant process. ($127,005 - $80,000 = $47,005) CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS The CDBG and HOME programs provide federal funds from HUD to the City of Fort Collins which can be allocated to housing and community development related programs and projects and administration of the funds, thereby, reducing the demand on the City’s General Fund budget to address such needs. In FY2018, the total amount of federal funds available for allocation is $3,922,540 and the City’s contribution is $1,283,453. These dollars allow applicants to leverage other funding sources to provide needed services in our community. Through the provision of affordable housing, more of Fort Collins’ workforce can reside within the community. This means there is an available labor pool within the city, which is a positive benefit to economic sustainability. Human (Public) Service programs contribute to economic sustainability and homelessness prevention by providing such programs as education, childcare, counseling, and rent assistance, so workers can maintain their employment and housing. By providing funding to these programs, the agencies are better able to utilize other available funds to serve their clients. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The CDBG Commission recommends adoption of their funding recommendations made on April 12, 2018. The Commission read all applications (Attachment 2), listened to presentations by each applicant, and asked clarifying questions. In addition, in the Housing category, they reviewed the priority rankings of the Affordable Housing Board (Attachment 3), the goals of the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan and the priorities of the HUD required Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). In the Human (Public) Service category they considered the performance of current grantees, the theme areas of the Social Sustainability Strategic Plan, the Con Plan and community needs.

The justifications for the CDBG Commission’s recommendations can be found in Attachment 1. PUBLIC OUTREACH Applicants had the opportunity to make presentations to the CDBG Commission on four evenings in March 2018 and the CDBG Commission held a meeting on April 12, 2018 to deliberate the proposals and make funding recommendations. A meeting that combined the CDBG Commission and the Affordable Housing Board was also held on March 7, 2018 to discuss the merits of all proposals and identify follow-up questions, without any funding discussion. All meetings were open to the public and added to the City calendar. HUD regulations require a 30-day public comment period on the proposed allocation of CDBG and HOME funds. Staff placed an ad in the Coloradoan newspaper on April 24, 2018 presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects and indicated the public comment period would start on May 4, 2018, and end on June 5, 2018. The Council meeting on June 5, 2018 will serve as a Public Hearing and comments will be recorded and reported to HUD in August. The public notice of funding recommendations was placed on the Social Sustainability Department’s website. It was also distributed to applicants, current grant recipients, and entities serving a majority of clients in legally protected classes—including those in a racial/ethnic minority, those with a disability, or female heads of households—or serving those community members who might otherwise have barriers to public participation in the City’s civic engagement processes. The public comments received have largely been statements of gratitude from the applying agencies, as well as a limited number of statements of concerns from applying agencies, which have been resolved.

It is the staff recommendation that the final figures discussed this evening (applications with Federal Funding Sources) may be adjusted (up or down) proportionately when actual funds are allocated (not to exceed original requested amount.) In addition, City-sourced “Human Services” funds will be locked into the determinations recommended this evening. CDBG Members are able to view, in real-time, the overall allocations result and adjust accordingly by re- visiting prior funding allocations.

Amy Dondale made a Friendly Amendment to Fund at $226 thousand for Building 619. Stacia and Olga agreed. Discussion resumes around strategic plans, low vs. high impact competing applications, number of family members potentially accommodated and overall worthiness of the project. Also discussed was the difficulty with “partial funding” and allocation to specific construction sections. Members of the CDBG noted that Tenant stress and other inherent difficulties (in projects such as this) occur with partial funding scenarios.
