funds are allocated from the General Fund (GF) and Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG). In 2020, the total dollar
amount allocated is $3,480,278. The following table shows available dollars in each funding category:
FY2020 Funding Categories
Funding Source Amount
FY2020 Housing $2,030,000
FY2020 Human Service $1,153,998
FY2020 Planning and Administration $296,280
Total $3,480,278
Federal funds available for allocation total $2,431,879. These funds are sourced from 8 categories designated
by HUD, including: FY2020 Entitlement Grants (CDBG and HOME - new funding), FY2019 and FY2018
Unanticipated Program Revenue (CDBG and HOME - new funding), Prior Year Funds (CDBG and HOME - re-
appropriated).
Unanticipated Revenue Funds include repayments from loans issued for rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance,
acquisition and development. Fifteen percent (15%) of CDBG funds received can be allocated towards public
services. Twenty percent (20%) of CDBG funds received can be allocated to current year planning and
administration.
Prior Year Funds (CDBG and HOME FY2019) represent previous Council-committed funds that are available
for re-allocation in the housing category only. Total federal contribution to the Housing category is $1,871,249.
The maximum limit allowed by HUD regulations in the Human Service category for the CDBG Entitlement grant
and current year CDBG Program Income is 15%. HUD waived that requirement for FY20 to allow jurisdictions
more flexibility in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CDBG Commission began its deliberations on
applications in the Housing category with $717,330 in funds to allocate ($1,103,585 in total FY20 CDBG funds,
less 20% for planning and administration costs, and 15% set aside for Human Services.) After the CDBG
Commission made the housing recommendations, there was an unallocated balance of $82,238 in CDBG
funding that was available to convert to Human Service funding using the waiver guidance ($717,330 less
$635,093 actually allocated for Housing equals $82,238) resulting in a total of $247,775 in FY20 CDBG funds to
be used for Human Services programs.
Total federal contribution to the Human Service category is $264,350: $247,775 from the FY2020 CDBG
Entitlement grant and $16,575 from CDBG FY2019 Unanticipated Program Income.
HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% of the CDBG Entitlement grant ($220,717) to be used for CDBG
planning and program administration costs.
HUD regulations allow a maximum of 10% of HOME Entitlement grant ($75,563) to be used for HOME planning
and program administration.
Total federal contribution to the Planning and Program Administration category is $296,280.

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 FY2020, the total
amount of federal funds available for allocation is $2,431,879 and the City’s contribution is $1,150,176. 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 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.
Due to COVID-19 causing anticipated budget shortfalls, it may be necessary to proportionately decrease grant
amounts should the City’s General Fund and Keep Fort Collins Great funds (KFCG) not meet forecasted
expectations. If a scaling of funds is deemed necessary by City leaders, the organizations receiving grant awards
from the General Fund and KFCG may be reduced. Organizations receiving federal funding would be exempt.
No funding amount would drop below $5,000. The funding agreement contracts will include these terms.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The CDBG Commission recommends adoption of its funding recommendations made on May 13 and May 14,
2020. The Commission read all applications, listened to video-recorded presentations by each housing applicant,
and asked clarifying questions. Additionally, in the Housing category, the Commission reviewed the priority
rankings of the Affordable Housing Board (Attachment 2), the goals of the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan
and the priorities of the HUD required Five-Year Consolidated Plan. In the Human Service category, they
considered the performance of current grantees, the priority areas of the Social Sustainability Strategic Plan
(Attachment 3), community needs and the program’s potential to address community needs. The
Commissioners then completed a scorecard to reflect their evaluations of the Human Service proposals relative
to a series of weighted criteria. The proposals were then placed in descending ranked order based on the
average scores of all participating Commissioners (Attachment 4). Statistical breaks were identified within the
ranked order and the Commission proceeded to deliberate funding recommendations following a rules-based
protocol they had predetermined.
Minimal modifications were required to adapt the grant process due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further, COVID-19 was not a leading determinant or evaluation criteria in the CDBG Commission’s process for
two primary reasons: (1) The grant proposals were submitted and review began pre-COVID; (2) It is understood
that the programs requesting funding will remain largely intact and serving the same community needs during
the funding term (October 2020-September 2021).
The affordable housing applicants were asked if COVID-19 is anticipated to impact their project timeline and all
Agenda Item 8
Item # 8 Page 5
six applicants indicated that the projects would not be delayed.
The human services applicants were asked how the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 may affect their
future programming. Their responses were shared with the CDBG Commission for general awareness and
consideration.
The recent grant efforts to deploy COVID-19 Response and Recovery Funding received from the CARES Act
were managed and evaluated separately from the CDBG Commission’s FY20 grant process. All applicants
involved in the regular grant process were also notified of the CDBG COVID Response and Recovery application
and provided with the opportunity to apply for COVID specific response costs.
The CDBG Commission members are subject to certain rules of ethical conduct established by the City Charter
and Code, including refraining from voting on or attempting to influence any decision in which he or she has a
financial or personal conflict of interest. At the Commission’s regular meeting on March 11, 2020, a presentation
from the Senior Assistant City Attorney was made to all the CDBG Commission members detailing the City
Charter and Code provisions regarding conflict of interest and the disclosure process.

The justifications for the CDBG Commission’s recommendations can be found in the minutes of the May 13 and
May 14, 2020 meetings (Attachments 5 and 6).
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The CDBG Commission met on May 4, 2020, to discuss the merits of the housing and the human services
proposals and identify follow-up questions for the applicants, without any funding discussion. The Affordable
Housing Board met on May 7, 2020, and created its own project ranking list, which was then made available to
the CDBG Commission as a resource to consider during funding deliberations. The CDBG Commission held a
meeting on May 13, 2020, to deliberate the affordable housing proposals and make funding recommendations.
The CDBG Commission held a meeting on May 14, 2020, to deliberate the human services proposals and make
funding recommendations. All meetings were open to the public and added to the City calendar.
The City of Fort Collins Citizen Participation Plan for HUD funds requires a 30-day public comment period on
the proposed allocation of CDBG and HOME funds prior to Council’s final decision. Staff placed an ad in the
Coloradoan newspaper on May 17, 2020, presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects and
indicated the public comment period would start on May 18, 2020, and end on June 16, 2020. The Council
meeting on June 16, 2020, will serve as a Public Hearing and comments will be recorded and reported to HUD
in August. Public notice of funding recommendations was placed on the Social Sustainability Department’s
website. It was also distributed to applicants and twelve entities serving a majority of clients in legally protected
classes: (1) those in a racial/ethnic minority, (2) those with a disability, or (3) female heads of households or (4)
serving those community members who might otherwise have barriers to public participation in the City’s civic
engagement processes. To date, the public comments received have largely been statements of gratitude from
the applying agencies.
