Investment Partnership, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS and Emergency
Shelter Grants Programs must respond to in order to be compliant with the
Consolidated Planning Regulations,
The Five-Year Strategic Plan , or Consolidated Plan , is the result of a collaborative
planning process in which a community establishes its vision for a variety of
community development projects and programs . This process gives the local
jurisdiction the opportunity to plan its housing and community development
programs to provide effective and coordinated projects and programs , and to reduce
local duplication of efforts . It also creates opportunities for public participation and
makes efforts to include those who might otherwise not participate in such an effort .
This Consolidated Plan defines a course of action for the community and outlines how
anticipated funding is expected to be spent . The plan considers physical , economic,
environmental , community and human development goals in a comprehensive and
coordinated way and provides program goals, objectives , and benchmarks for
measuring and evaluating progress toward these goals .
Activities funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG ) program
include such things as affordable housing , and public services- -which encompass
programs and activities for seniors, persons with disabilities, and families. Each
activity or program funded must meet one of the following national objectives : ( 1 )
benefit low- and moderate- income persons ; ( 2 ) prevent or eliminate slum or blight ;
or (3) meet an urgent community need . At least seventy (70 ) percent of CDBG
funds must be used for activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate- income
persons . The HOME Investment Partnership ( HOME) program provides funding for
the acquisition , rehabilitation or construction of affordable housing . It also provides
funding for Tenant- Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) .
Three basic goals are used to evaluate the Consolidated Plan and the local
jurisdiction 's performance under the plan as to how the National Objectives have
been met :
Decent Housing, including .
• Increasing the availability of affordable permanent housing .
• Retaining affordable housing stock .
Assisting homeless persons in obtaining affordable housing .
• Assisting persons at risk of becoming homeless .
Increasing the supply of supportive housing , which includes housing for
persons with special needs, such as HIV/AIDS .
Providing affordable housing accessible to jobs .
Five-Year Strategic Plan 1
Suitable Living Environment, including :
Improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods .
Increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services .
• Geographic distribution of housing opportunities for low- and moderate-
income persons , and revitalization of deteriorating neighborhoods .
• Restoring and preserving properties of historic, architectural , or aesthetic
value .
Conserving energy.
Expanded Economic Opportunities, including :
• Creating and retaining jobs .
• Establishing , stabilizing , and expanding small and micro- businesses ,
• Providing public services related to employment.
• Providing jobs to low - income persons living in targeted areas .
• Improving access to capital and credit for development activities that promote
sustainable economic and social viability .
• Empowering low - income persons in federally - assisted housing and public
housing to reduce generational poverty .
The umbrella over these objectives is the National Objectives three- pronged mission :
benefit low - and- moderate income persons ; aid in the prevention or elimination of
slum and blight ; and meet an urgent community need .
Executive Summary
Five-Year Strategic Plan Executive Summary ,
The City of Fort Collins anticipates receiving federal funding of $ 8 , 978, 385 , which
includes Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) and HOME Investment
Partnership funds over the next five years . In addition , nearly $ 3 , 000 , 000 in City
funds are expected , and along with Program Income from CDBG and HOME activities ,
will result in a five- year total of $ 11 , 867 , 835 to fund Housing , Public Facility, and
Public Service requests for money in these federal categories .
Development of this Consolidated Plan included consultations with more than 60 local
non- profit agencies, entities, and organizations who are actively involved in serving
low- and moderate- income persons and families in Fort Collins . The City's
Commission on Disabilities , Senior Advisory Board , Women 's Commission , and the
Human Relations Commission , along with the Affordable Housing Board and the
CDBG Commission , were also consulted . Residents of Fort Collins were surveyed
through a questionnaire presented at several focus group meetings , as well as at the
Food Bank for Larimer County . An on - line survey was also available . Over 170
persons responded to these surveys , providing information that included : type of
housing and household size ; age and current services received ; services needed ; and
barriers to receiving needed services . The City's Affordable Housing Strategic Plan
(AHSP) , updated every five years , provided input to address affordable housing
needs, as did the Larimer County Housing Needs Assessment, completed in 2009 .
The public review process included a 30 - day Public Review and comment period , and
a presentation to the Fort Collins City Council at a Study Session on May 11 , 2010 ,
2
Five-Year Strategic Plan
The Affordable Housing Board and the CDBG Commission reviewed the Draft Plan on
May 6, 2010 . Comments received during the Public Review period have been
incorporated or responded to in the Plan . Finally, a Public Hearing before the City
Council to consider adoption of the Plan was held on July 20 , 2010 . This process , as
well as all of the input received during the development of the Draft Plan , served to
identify the needs of the community . From these needs, the goals and objectives
necessary to address these needs were developed , and are reflected in the
Consolidated Plan , as follows :

Strategic Plan
Mission :
The mission of this Consolidated Plan is to provide a comprehensive vision for the
entire community of Fort Collins in addressing the diverse needs of all residents, so
that they can fully participate in living life to the fullest . This Plan will identify and
4
Five-Year Strategic Plan
propose goals for actions to address the priority needs of Fort Collins within the
requirements established by the U . S . Department of Housing and Urban
Development ( HUD ) for the use of CDBG and HOME funding . These goals include
projects and programs that serve homeless, near- homeless and low - income
populations ; address fair housing and lead - based paint issues ; overcome institutional
barriers to the production and/or preservation of affordable housing ; and encourage
economic development and neighborhood revitalization . The City of Fort Collins
coordinates with the Fort Collins Housing Authority ( FCHA) to accomplish the goals
identified for Public Housing .
Many of these goals parallel those of City Plan , the City's Comprehensive Plan . City
Plan, which was adopted in 1997 and updated in 2004, consists of the City Structure
Plan as well as the Community Vision & Goals element of the plan and is the basis for
the future planning and development of Fort Collins to 2025 . City Plan is based on
community values identified through the plan update in 2004 . These values are :
sustainability ( utilities and services, environmental stewardship , a
safe/convenient/flexible transportation system , mixed land use, compact urban form ,
enhanced community pride , quality design and development, healthy economy) ;
fairness ( public participation , economic/cultural/social opportunities , diversity, equal
access and mobility, equitable housing opportunities) ; fulfillment
(safe/healthy/nonthreatening community , enduring community pattern
interconnected with natural environments neighborhood focus, walkable/attractive
streets and public spaces , heritage , recreation/ parks/open lands ) ; and choices
(diverse neighborhoods , alternative transportation modes , diverse housing ,
entrepreneurial opportunities, learning community, education/cultural services ) .
Another update to City Plan , called Plan Fort Collins, began in early 2010 .
The community vision in City Plan is : " to make change work for Fort Collins while
protecting the best of what we have , and recognizing who and what Fort Collins will
become by preserving a sense of community identity and pride . Fort Collins will
confront and mitigate the negative impacts of the car on our lives . Fort Collins will
share in the region 's responsibilities . "
A series of community goals have been identified for land use, transportation ,
community appearance and design , economy, housing , environment, open lands ,
and growth management . These goals support many of the national objectives for
the CDBG and HOME programs . Of particular note are the housing goals, which state
that :
Our community will be a place where all of its people will have an opportunity
to live in safe, habitable, and affordable housing .
• Our community will provide a mix of housing distributed throughout the
city.
Our community will encourage preservation of existing housing .
• Our community will create an environment that meets the special needs
of our residents .
• Our buildings will be environmentally sustainable .
Available Funds ,
The priorities outlined in this Plan are based on the assumption that future federal
funding levels will continue at their current levels for each of the five program years .
However, this funding will be dependent on the annual appropriation and distribution
5
Five - Year Strategic Plan
formulas , as well as the number of communities participating as Entitlement
Communities . If funding levels change, the activities and programs planned may
also be subject to change , as a result of funding availability . Table 1 , following ,
summarizes the available funds for the life of this Consolidated Plan , which are
expected to amount to $8 , 978 , 385 of federal funding . In addition , nearly
$ 3 , 000, 000 in City funds is expected , resulting in a five - year total of $ 11 , 867 , 835 to
fund Housing and Public Service requests . Of this amount, approximately $ 7 , 700 , 000
is expected to be allocated to housing projects .

General Questions .
1 . Geographic Area of Jurisdiction
Fort Collins, Colorado is the county seat of Larimer County , It is centrally located
along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Northern Colorado and occupies
about 55 . 5 square miles . The 2009 population was estimated by the City at
137 , 200 . Because of Fort Collins' location as the northernmost major Front Range
community, as well as its size , it serves as a regional hub for residents of southern
Wyoming and western Nebraska . Interstate 25 (I- 25) lies along the eastern edge of
the city and has five interchanges that provide access to Fort Collins . U . S . Highway
287 ( College Avenue ) intersects the community between east to west, linking it with
Laramie, Wyoming to the north and the Denver Metropolitan area to the south . U . S .
Highway 14 ( East Mulberry Street) provides access from I- 25 through Fort Collins
and into the Rocky Mountains to the west .
The community was incorporated in 1873 and continued to grow with the advent of
the railroad and the growth of agriculture - -the sugar beet industry, in particular .
Residential neighborhoods were built south of the current Downtown area , with
Prospect Road being the southern edge of the community for many years .
Significant growth occurred in the community during the 1970s and 1980s, and by
the late 1980s, its southern boundary reached Trilby Road , five miles south of
Prospect Road . Western development of the city has been limited by its proximity to
the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, which are about four miles west of U . S .
Highway 287 ( College Avenue) .
Development of Fort Collins to the north has been limited by physical features (Terry
Lake, and irrigation ditches) , as well as the existing development approved by
Larimer County . Development to the east has been limited by I- 25 ,
Intergovernmental agreements, the first signed in 1980, with other area jurisdictions
( Larimer County, Town of Timnath , and City of Loveland ) , defined the future growth
boundaries of the community and served to shape much of the community's physical
growth and development , The technology industry became a major component of
the local economy with the location of Hewlett- Packard on the city 's Harmony Road
Corridor in the early 1980 's, and was followed by other technology- related
businesses in the area . This industry was a major economic driver of the local
economy until a series of layoffs occurred in Larimer County between 2001 and
2005 . Those layoffs resulted in a loss of 5 , 300 jobs in the manufacturing sector,
many of which were in Fort Collins in the high - paying technology sub-sector . Table 2
summarizes the population growth in Fort Collins over the past ten years and shows
future population projections to 2025 .

* City of Fort Collins estimate
In addition to its year- round population , Fort Collins is home to Colorado State
University (CSU ) , founded in 1870 as the Colorado Agricultural College . Classes
were first held in 1879 and the college became known as Colorado State College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1935 and Colorado State University by 1957 . In
the Fall Semester of 2009 , a record 25 , 413 students were enrolled with 21 , 204
undergraduates ; 3, 671 graduate students ; and 538 veterinary medicine students .
One-fourth of the Fall 2009 Freshman Class is first- generation college students . The
University is home to world - class programs in veterinary medicine , engineering , and
natural resources .
The Larimer Campus of Front Range Community College ( FRCC) is also located in
Fort Collins . FRCC was created in 1968 and is the largest community college in
Colorado . Over 3 , 600 full -time students enroll annually at the Larimer Campus,
which has seen increasing enrollments since 2006 . In addition to certificates,
students can earn an Associate's Degree , which can be transferred to any four-year
school in Colorado and applied toward a Bachelor's Degree . Students in the Poudre
School District ( PSD ) can receive dual credit for high school and college credit under
the Post Secondary Enrollment Option ( PSEO) offered by Front Range .
The Fort Collins population has become more diverse since 1990 , Table 3 shows
population by race and ethnic origin . In the 1990 Census, 93 . 2 % of the Fort Collins
population was Caucasian or White . By the 2000 Census, this figure had dropped to
89 . 6 % and to 89 . 0% in the 2006-2008 American Community Survey (ACS ) . In
contrast, the African -American and Asian populations saw modest increases, while
the Native American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander populations have declined
since the 2000 Census , The Other Race/Two or More Race populations category had
substantial increases between the 1990 and 2000 Census , from 2 . 8 % to 6 . 10/0 of the
population . Some of this increase may be attributable to changes made in the
definition of these populations by the Census Bureau between the decennial
Censuses . Also of note is the increase in the Hispanic or Latino population , from
7 . 0% in 1990 and 8 . 7 % in the 2000 Census, to an estimated 9 . 3 % in the 2006 -
2008 American Community Survey .

The city's highest concentration of low- and moderate- income households is found in
Census Tracts 1 , 21 13 . 04 , 13 . 05 , and 13 . 06 . These areas are generally located
north of West Prospect Road , between South Taft Hill Road and Riverside Avenue .
The areas with the highest percentage of Hispanic/ Latino population are Census
Tracts 2, 4 , 13 , 04, and 13 , 05 , which are generally located north of West Mulberry
Street, between Taft Hill Road and Willox Lane . A map showing Census Tracts is
included as an Attachment .
The major employers in Fort Collins are Colorado State University ( CSU ) , Poudre
School District ( PSD) , Hewlett Packard ( HP) , Poudre Valley Health System ( PVHS) ,
Larimer County, Agilent Technologies (Agilent) , City of Fort Collins, Celestica
Colorado ( Celestica ) , LSI Logic ( LSI ) , Advanced Energy (AE) , Anheuser- Busch (A- B ) ,
and Woodward Governor .
Of the 82 , 379- member civilian workforce in Fort Collins ( labor force not adjusted
seasonally) , 76 , 573 were employed in December 2009 , with an unemployment rate
of 7 . 0 % . This rate is contrasted with the State unemployment rate of 7 . 3% and the
national unemployment rate of 10 . 0% for December 2009 , Since 1990 , the lowest
unemployment rate for Larimer County was 2 . 5 % in 2000 and 3 . 1 % in 1999 . In
addition to 2009, the highest unemployment rate since 1990 was 5 . 1 % in 1992 and
2003 , January of 2010 saw unemployment rates ( not seasonally adjusted ) in Fort
Collins/Larimer County of 7 . 2 % , while the Colorado rate was 8 . 2 % . The majority of
jobs lost in the Fort Collins/ Larimer County area in 2009 came from the construction ,
manufacturing , and administrative/waste services sectors .
2. Allocation of Funding
The City of Fort Collins ' Comprehensive Plan , City Plan , mandates that investments
and services be allocated throughout the entire community to ensure that no one
area of the community receives a concentration of affordable housing and/or
services . The priorities for housing - related needs were established by the Larimer
ONE mmwlaffim� 9
Five-Year Strategic Plan
County Housing Needs Assessment ( 2009 ) which was completed by Community
Strategies Institute ( CSI) to be a resource for the preparation of the City's
Consolidated Plan . Funding through the CDBG and HOME programs will be directed
to serve low- and moderate - income families and individuals of Fort Collins .
3 . Barriers to Meeting Underserved Needs
The greatest barrier to meeting the underserved needs of Fort Collins residents has
been , and is expected to continue to be , the lack of funding available for public and
private agencies to address the level of need prevalent to low- and moderate - income
persons and families . Housing is particularly limited by the availability of funds to
subsidize the cost of units that are affordable for households earning below 50 % of
Area Median Income (AMI ) . The funding available for human service agencies has
continued to decline over the past five years , although demand has increased . While
the services are in place in Fort Collins to assist low- and moderate- income persons
and families , the funding to adequately provide these services to all who need them
falls short . For additional information on barriers to meeting underserved needs of
specific populations, see the response to Item 3 in the Community Development
Section ( 91 . 215 ) ( 3 ) of this Plan .
Funding has been reduced in recent years, from a high of $ 1 , 154, 086 in CDBG funds
in FY2005 , to a low of $ 998 , 391 in FY2008 . HOME funds have been variable in
recent years, from $681 , 881 in FY2005 , to a recent low of $ 618 ,429 in FY2008 .
HOME funds for FY2009 increased to $ 686 , 973 , a five-year high . Table 4 shows
CDBG and HOME funding received between 2005 and 2009 . The amount of CDBG
and HOME funds for FY2010 ( $ 1 , 104, 431 for CDBG and $682 , 541 for HOME )
represent amounts that are only equal to or slightly below the FY2005 levels .

The City of Fort Collins provides Human Services Program ( HSP) funding from the
City's General Fund . These funds have increased in recent years, from $ 332, 000 in
FY2006 to $440 , 334 for FY2008 and FY2009 . Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) monies
provided by the City have received significant cuts since FY2006 . From a high of
$893,962 in FY2002, Affordable Housing Fund dollars fell to a low of $ 133 , 000 in
2007 and to $ 136, 000 for FY2009 . The FY2010 amounts are $ 389, 000 in Human
Services Program funds and $ 188, 890 in Affordable Housing Fund monies .
The City of Fort Collins received Economic Stimulus (CDBG- R) funding through the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in the amount of $ 270 , 137 in
FY2009 . This funding was used for the rehabilitation of 82 units of permanently
affordable housing at the Fort Collins Housing Authority's Village on Stanford
( $ 230,466 ) and to the Homelessness Prevention Initiative ( HPI ) to provide rent
assistance for households that are facing eviction ( $40y671 ) , It is not expected that
these funds will be available again in the near future .
10
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Private funding sources, such as foundations , have also seen reduced funding levels,
and all non - profit agencies are having a difficult time finding adequate funding to
provide the level of service needed .
Managing the Process ( 91 . 2O0 [ b ] ) .
1 . Lead Agency
The City's Advance Planning Department is the lead agency responsible for preparing
the community 's Consolidated Plan , Within the Advance Planning Department, the
Plan is supported and implemented by the Affordable Housing and Human Services
Team , which consists of the Advance Planning Director, the Chief Planner, the
Affordable Housing Planner, the two CDBG/ HOME Program Administrators , and the
Grants Programs Coordinator. The citizens of the community are represented in the
coordination and implementation of the Plan by members of the City's Community
Development Block Grant Commission and the Affordable Housing Board . The Fort
Collins Housing Authority administers the Section 8 Rental Assistance and Public
Housing programs .
2. Plan Development Process
The 2010 - 2014 Consolidated Plan was developed through the collection and analysis
of the most current data available , as well as through consultations with the
agencies, organizations, and others listed in the Consultations section , Focus group
meetings were held and questionnaires were collected at CARE Housing , Inc .
(affordable housing ) ; the Food Bank for Larimer County ; the Sister Mary Alice
Murphy Center for Hope ( homeless persons) ; Harmony Road Apartments ( persons
with disabilities ) ; Disabled Resource Services ( persons with disabilities) ; the
Women 's Resource Center ( Spanish -speaking women ) ; and Matthews House
(youth/teens ) .
A total of 144 written questionnaires were collected , with the results summarized
below :
The majority ( 54% ) of those surveyed rent local apartments or houses and
23 % own their homes ,
• Of those surveyed , 12 , 5 % are living with friends or family members and 34 %
have lived in their current housing from 1 - 5 years .
The predominant household size was one person ( 31 % ) , while households of
five or more persons accounted for 21 % of those surveyed .
• The age of those surveyed saw 16% in the 0- 18 age group ; 28 % in the 19 - 35
range ; 24% were 36 - 50 years old ; 21 % were 51 - 60 ; and 22% were over the
age of 60 .
• Of services currently being used , food assistance was the most common , at
84% of those surveyed , This high response was driven by the large number
of questionnaires collected at the Food Bank . Other services currently being
used include assistance with health care ( 38% ) , housing ( 22% ) , and
employment/unemployment services ( 16 % ) .
• The top services that are not being received include health care ( 17 %) ,
housing ( 10% ) , and food ( 10 % ) .
• Many barriers to service were noted , with the most frequent responses being
related to a lack of money ( 9 % ) , transportation (6 % ) , income just exceeding
11
Five-Year Strategic Plan
the limit for some forms of assistance (6 % ) , and the time it takes to receive
assistance ( 50/6 ) . One example of the time it can take to receive services is
for Social Security Disability Income ( SSDI ) , where denial rates are high for
persons 20- 60 years of age who have disabilities , and the process of
applying , being denied , and filing an appeal can take nearly two years before
payments begin .
Copies of the English and Spanish questionnaires are included in the Attachments to
this Plan .
An on- line survey was also available between March 15 and March 26, 2010 on the
City 's Affordable Housing web page and resulted in 29 surveys being submitted . This
survey focused on ten categories, with the following highest priority needs identified
after each category : housing ( affordable rental units) , anti- poverty (job creation ) ,
human services ( mental health services) , homelessness (transitional housing ) ,
persons with disabilities ( affordable/ accessible rental units) , seniors/ elderly
(affordable rental units ) , public safety ( housing code violations) , youth ( crime
prevention ) , transportation (taxi vouchers) , and other needs ( housing and health
care ) . A copy of this survey is included in the Attachments to this Plan .
Information was also collected on community needs at meetings of the Commission
on Disabilities, Senior Advisory Board , and Women 's Commission , and is also
summarized in the Attachments to this Plan . The primary needs identified by the
Commission on Disabilities and the Senior Advisory Board related to housing that is
affordable and accessible (new units and retrofitting existing units) , and affordable
transportation to major area facilities ( Senior Center, hospitals ) . The community
needs identified by the Human Relations Commission included domestic violence and
emergency shelter space , transportation for seniors , housing for persons with
disabilities, and programs and services for college students who might not otherwise
qualify because they are full -time students .
The City's Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (AHSP) was also used in the
development of this Plan . The AHSP is updated every five years and identifies the
housing priorities, goals, and objectives for the community . This information has
been incorporated into the Consolidated Plan . In addition , the results of a
community survey done by Pathways Past Poverty ( PPP) in 2008 were also
considered . Key themes from the PPP survey and group discussions included such
topics as child care, health care, housing , transportation , job training and better
jobs, increased awareness of diversity and poverty, and increased financial literacy .
The results of a survey of Fort Collins Housing Authority residents about unmet
needs were also considered . Those survey results highlighted a need for security
deposit assistance, rent assistance to cover several months rent, skills training ,
emergency housing , child care, transportation , a detox/ mental health facility, health
care , and employment opportunities .
After completion of the Draft Consolidated Plan , the Draft was available for review
during a 30 - day public comment period , which ran from April 19 - May 18, 2010 .
Included in the process were reviews by the Affordable Housing Board and the CDBG
Commission . The Fort Collins City Council reviewed the Draft Plan at a Work Session
on May 11 , 2010 and considered the Plan at a Public Hearing held July 20 , 2010 .
Comments received during the public review of the Plan are found in the Comments
Received section .

2 . Comments Received
The following is a summary of comments and suggestions received during the Public
Review of the City of Fort Collins Draft Consolidated Plan , as well as the response to
the comment.
Cheryl Distaso, Coordinator of the Northern Colorado Center for Justice , Peace
and Environment had questions as to whether the City would be addressing
displacement by development, commented that the proportion of low income
families surveyed seemed low, asked if the City was satisfied with the number of
surveys returned , and wanted to know what was involved in the consultations
with the extensive list of agencies .
Staff response : The City is required to have a separate anti - displacement
document which speaks to the displacement of households when federal funds
are involved in a development. The City is anticipating that it will have a new
Relocation Policy in the near future which will deal with any displacement from
development, not just those using federal funds .
The City provided several opportunities for citizen participation by low- income
households in an effort to involve citizens who are least likely to participate in a
public forum . Staff and the consultant went to several local services which serve
low- income clients and surveyed as many as would participate . These included
the Food Bank, the Murphy Center, Harmony Apartments, CARE Housing , and
Disabled Resource Services . In addition , the Women 's Resource Center and the
Matthews House interviewed their participants .
The City is constantly striving to increase the number of citizens at all income
levels to participate in the process of developing documents like the Consolidated
Plan . This was the first year to use an on - line survey , in addition to the other
survey methods used . Staff will be looking to include other methods of citizen
involvement in future years .
Agencies that were listed as " consultations" received either in - person or
telephone interviews by the consultant. They were asked specific questions
about the needs of their clients and what unmet needs their clients have . The
responses were incorporated in to the document narrative .
3 . Efforts to Broaden Participation
The following efforts were made to broaden public participation in the development
of the City of Fort Collins' Consolidated Plan , including outreach to minorities and
non - English speaking persons, seniors , youth and teens , and persons with
disabilities .
15
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Focus group meetings were held and questionnaires were collected at CARE Housing ,
the Food Bank for Larimer County (Spanish -speaking persons , persons with
disabilities, homeless persons ) ; Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope ( homeless
and special needs populations ) ; Harmony Road Apartments ( persons with
disabilities) ; Disabled Resource Services ( persons with disabilities) ; the Women 's
Resource Center ( Spanish - speaking women ) ; and Matthews House ( youth/teens) .
The questionnaire was provided in Spanish and translation services were available
for Spanish -speakers who participated in the questionnaire .
A total of 144 questionnaires were collected at these locations and represented
residents of : local affordable housing ; persons with disabilities ; homeless persons ;
Spanish-speaking residents ; seniors ; teens and youth ; and families with children .
An on- line survey was also available as another way to gather input and resulted in
29 surveys being completed . Summaries of the survey information received can be
found in the Plan Development Process section of the Plan . Information was also
collected at meetings of the Commission on Disabilities, Senior Advisory Board ,
Women 's Commission , and the Human Relations Commission , These Boards and
Commissions consist of Fort Collins citizens who are appointed by the Fort Collins
City Council and who are knowledgeable about the specific population which is the
focus of their Board or Commission .
4. Comments Not Accepted
No comments were omitted from this document.
Institutional Structure ( 91 . 215 [ Q ) :
1 . Institutional Structure
The City of Fort Collins Advance Planning Department is responsible for the planning ,
development, and implementation of the City's CDBG and HOME programs . The staff
works closely with the Fort Collins Housing Authority, Larimer County Health and
Human Services Department, and area housing , community development, and public
service providers . Many of these participate in broad - based networks of
organizations and institutions in the community that carry out many of the activities
of the City's Consolidated Plan . These networks include the North Front Range
Continuum of Care ( NFRCC) , Larimer County Affordable Housing Coalition , and the
Larimer Home Improvement Program ( LaHIP) . These networks are described in
greater detail in the Strengths and Weaknesses of Consolidated Plan Delivery System
section , which is next .

with public housing agencies, assist housing providers and human service agencies,
and work closely with other private and public agencies. City staff will continue to
work closely with human service providers to develop methods and tools of
increasing and maximizing efficiency in the delivery of housing and related services .
The staff of the City's Advance Planning Department participates in local and area
collaborations, including the Larimer Home Improvement Program ; the Affordable
Housing Coalition of Larimer County ; and the North Front Range Continuum of Care .
The Larimer Home Improvement Program Board meets as needed , to oversee this
program that provides low - interest loans for rehabilitation of owner- occupied
affordable housing units throughout Larimer County , The Affordable Housing
Coalition of Larimer County meets monthly and is a broad group of service providers
and government representatives who are currently working on the affordable
housing goal for the Pathways Past Poverty initiative . The Continuum of Care group
includes service providers and government staff from Larimer and Weld Counties and
meets bi - monthly to work on issues related to homelessness and cooperatively apply
for HUD's SUPERNOFA ( Notice of Funding Availability) , The City will continue to
encourage and facilitate joint applications for funding among housing and service
agencies and organizations, and work with the Fort Collins Housing Authority to
eliminate gaps in the delivery system .
17
Five-Year Strategic Plan
3, Assessment of Public Housing Delivery System
The Fort Collins Housing Authority administers the Public Housing and the Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 ) program for Fort Collins . The Housing Authority
is a separate entity from the City of Fort Collins' governmental structure , whose
Board of Commissioners is appointed by the City Council . The Board is a seven-
member group that advises the Housing Authority staff on issues related to the
development, management, and administration of affordable housing programs for
low- income families in Fort Collins . Through intergovernmental agreements, the
Housing Authority also administers the Larimer County Housing Authority and the
Wellington Housing Authority .
The Housing Authority staff works closely with the City's CDBG and HOME program
staff on programs and activities that benefit low- and moderate- income persons and
families in Fort Collins . The Housing Authority owns and manages 154 units of Public
Housing and has recently received Economic Stimulus funding for rehabilitation and
energy efficiency improvements on these units, The Housing Authority administers
914 Housing Choice vouchers, which include 65 Mainstream vouchers reserved for
people with disabilities, and 70 VA Supportive Housing vouchers reserved for
homeless veterans . The only disposition of Housing Authority units in Fort Collins
has been the sale of 14 single- family homes from the Authority's Villages portfolio to
help with the purchase of the 82 units in the Villages on Stanford . Some of the 14
homes were sold to residents who participated in the Housing Authority's Housing
Choice Voucher Homeownership program . Housing Authority staff plans to conduct a
portfolio analysis which may result in additional properties being sold . There should
be , however, no expected net loss of affordable housing units owned by the
Authority since any units sold would be replaced either by another unit or a voucher.
The Fort Collins Housing Authority offers programs for its residents which are
designed to promote self-sufficiency and homeownership . The Family Self-
Sufficiency program works with between 200- 250 families annually to assist them in
transitioning off of public assistance . Several resident Commissioners participate on
the Authority's and the Housing Corporation 's Board of Commissioners . Hiring ,
contracting , and procurement activities of the Housing Authority are conducted by
Housing Authority staff and must adhere to practices required by HUD , as well as
any applicable Colorado regulations . All residents of Public Housing and other
assisted housing in Fort Collins have access to all other City- funded services
available to any Fort Collins resident,
Monitoring ( 91 230 ) :
1 . Monitoring
The City of Fort Collins CDBG and HOME programs are audited by HUD on a regular
basis. The City's Advance Planning Department is responsible for monitoring all
CDBG and HOME program sub- recipients . The City staff monitors sub - recipients
annually ( or as required by program requirements) to ensure compliance with
individual program guidelines . The staff uses Community Development Manager
( CDM ) software to track and alert staff to projects that require monitoring and
updating . Also, with the exception of Public Service project funding , all funding is in
the form of a due- on - safe loan and a Deed of Trust and/or Restrictive Covenants are
filed against each property to assure that future legal proceedings on the property
18
Five- Year Strategic Plan
protect the federal investment . All contracts with sub- recipients detail program
requirements , applicable statutes and regulations, and references the provisions of
several OMB Circulars containing federal cost principles, audit, and uniform
administrative requirements . City staff meets with sub- recipients individually to
ensure that all parties are aware of, and agree to , the requirements of the funding .
In addition , staff provides one - on - one technical assistance to the sub - recipient
throughout the contract period .
Priority Needs Analysis and Strategies ( 91 . 215 [ a ] ) .
1 . Basis for Priority Needs
The City of Fort Collins staff prepares the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (AHSP) ,
which is intended to serve as a guide to establishing funding priorities for affordable
housing projects and activities . This document is updated every five years , to
coincide with completion of the Consolidated Plan . To establish the Priority Needs for
other categories , a diverse group of community agencies , entities, and organizations
were asked to provide input (through consultations ) about the community 's unmet
needs, and statistical information about both services available and demand for
services . Included was resident survey information provided by the Fort Collins
Housing Authority and survey information gathered in 2008 by the Pathways Past
Poverty initiative . Community residents were also consulted , through written
questionnaires and on - line surveys (for more information , refer to Plan Development
Process section of this Plan ) . All of this information , along with information from the
Larimer County Housing Needs Assessment was used to identify the community's
Priority Needs and complete the Tables ( see Attachment D) required for this Plan
relative to these needs.
Following are the Priority Needs to be addressed by this Consolidated Plan , for the
five-year period between 2010 and 2014 :
Priority Housing Needs : In order to provide decent housing to Fort Collins
residents, the City of Fort Collins will improve the availability, affordability, and
sustainability of housing through the following :
1 . Increase the inventory of affordable rental units through the production of
new rental units, or the acquisition and rehabilitation of former market rate
units , converting them to affordable housing .
2 . Preserve affordable housing units by monitoring the status of existing
affordable units to maintain or add to the inventory .
3 . Increase housing and facilities for people with special needs .
4 . Provide financial assistance for first-time homebuyers .
Priority Homeless Needs : In order to provide decent housing and a suitable living
environment, the City of Fort Collins will :
1 . Provide support and assistance to agencies and organizations that provide
permanent supportive housing .
19
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Priority Public Services Needs : In order to provide a suitable living environment,
the City of Fort Collins will :
1 . Support and enhance Public Services that focus on providing basic services to
low- income individuals and families over the next five years using 15% of
CDBG funding and 100% of City Human Services Program funds .
Priority Public Facilities Needs : In order to provide a suitable living environment,
the City of Fort Collins will improve the sustainability and availability/accessibility of
public facilities through the following :
1 . Acquire , support and enhance Public Facilities which focus on providing basic
services to low- income citizens and families .
Priority Non- Homeless Special Needs : In order to provide a suitable living
environment and decent housing , the City of Fort Collins will :
1 . Provide funding to projects that address housing and supportive service
needs for the elderly, persons with disabilities, at- risk/endangered teens and
young adults, victims of domestic violence , and persons with mental illness
and/or substance abuse issues .
Priority Special Needs : In order to provide a suitable living environment and
decent housing , the City of Fort Collins will :
1 . Support and encourage housing and public service projects that directly
address the needs of special needs populations, including : the elderly/frail
elderly, persons with disabilities , at- risk/endangered teens and young adults ,
victims of domestic violence , persons with mental illness and/or substance
abuse issues, and persons with HIV/AIDS and their families .
Priority Community Development Needs : In order to provide for economic
opportunity, the City of Fort Collins will improve the availability and sustainability of
economic development by the following :
1 . Support, promote or expand development of the Fort Collins Urban Renewal
Authority ( URA) .
2 . Remove severely blighted properties , especially to promote infill re -
development .
3 . Continue to expand use of tools for developments such as the Section 108
Loan Program , Brownfields, and Economic Development Initiatives .
4 , Use CDBG funds to leverage public and private funds.
5 . Support, establish or expand programs that provide job training or career
development of low- and moderate- income persons ,
6 . Implement revitalization efforts in neighborhoods to improve housing and/or
economic development.
7 . Promote or support sustainable energy resources .
T 20
Five-Year Strategic Plan
2. Barriers to Meeting Underserved Needs
The greatest barrier in meeting the local underserved needs has been the overall
lack of available funding , which has limited the extent to which programs and
activities can assist and provide benefit to low- and moderate- income persons and
families. Funding requests submitted to the City 's Competitive Process are typically
well over the amount of available funding .
The economic downturn over the past two years has resulted in lower City revenues .
Other sources of funding , such as funding through foundations and corporations have
also dropped , or are no longer available . This trend has resulted in an increasing
number of grant requests for important programs and activities, for which the City
does not have funding .
Lead - Based Paint ( 91 . 215 ) [ g ] :
Five-Year Strategic Plan Lead - Based Paint Response ,
1 . Prevalence of Lead - Based Paint Hazards
The Residential Lead - Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 was intended to
identify and mitigate sources of lead in residences . High levels of lead in the blood
are especially hazardous to children ages six and younger. High levels of lead can
result in central nervous system damage, mental retardation , convulsions , and even
death . Lower levels of lead can cause reading and learning disabilities, decreased
attention span , and aggressive behavior . Exposure to lead - based paint typically
occurs in housing built prior to 1978, when the use of lead - based paint was banned
in the United States. Other sources of lead include vinyl blinds, pottery, lead in
water pipes, and some herbal remedies .
Beginning April 22 , 2010 , new EPA regulations went into effect regarding lead .
These regulations apply to homes and " child -occupied " facilities built before 1978 .
They require that rental property owners and managers , remodelers, contractors,
plumbers, painters, handymen , and any others who may cause the disruption of lead
while doing their work, be EPA-certified and follow certain procedures to minimize
the spread of lead . While lead is typically found primarily in paint, this regulation
applies to any lead found in these older homes and structures .
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) recommends that children two
and younger be screened for lead poisoning and that children between the ages of
three and six receive testing if they have not been previously tested , and if they : live
in or regularly visit a structure built prior to 19S0 ; live in or regularly visit a structure
built prior to 1978 that is undergoing remodeling ; or have a relative or playmate that
has lead poisoning .
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment conducted a two-year
study on lead in the blood of children ages zero to 72 months in 2003 and 2004 .
There were an estimated 22, 760 children in this age range in Larimer County at that
time . During the two-year period of this Study, 1 ,407 children were tested in
Larimer County for lead . Of these , 12 children had levels higher than 10 ug/dL
( micrograms per deciliter) , which is the level at which lead is considered " elevated " .
21
Five-Year Strategic Plan
However, blood lead levels under 10 ug/dL may also be dangerous to young children .
Four of the 12 children had levels above 15 ud/ dL . As a result of budget cuts at the
State level , there have not been any lead surveillance reports or studies conducted
since these results were published in October 2005 .
The 2006 - 2008 American Community Survey ( ACS ) identified 58 , 114 housing units
in Fort Collins, of which 54 , 398 were occupied housing units . A total of 24 , 900 ( or
42 . 8 %) of all housing units (occupied and unoccupied combined ) were built in 1979
or earlier (see Table 5 , following ) , with the largest number built between 1970 and
1979 . These older units have a higher likelihood of containing lead - based paint, since
the use of lead - based paint was not prohibited in the U . S . until 1978 . Many of these
housing units are located in the older areas of the community, which also represent
the community's neighborhoods that are home to many of the low - and moderate -
income populations in Fort Collins .

2 . Evaluation and Reduction of Lead- Based Paint Hazards
Lead - based paint hazards in Public Housing units and other units of the Fort Collins
Housing Authority have been stabilized and/or removed in previous years during
rehabilitation of these units . During 2009, 14 of the Housing Authority's units
received lead - based paint abatement. For all projects which have applied for federal
funds through the City of Fort Collins , lead paint hazards are evaluated for each
property if the structure was built prior to January 1 , 1978 . If a visual assessment
finds evidence of lead hazards, these properties are tested by local companies who
evaluate the hazard and report back to the City as to the lead hazard mitigation
needs . All properties must be cleared of lead hazards before funding is provided .
The City of Fort Collins will continue to stay up-to- date and partner in new strategies
and programs from both HUD and interagency groups such as the Colorado Lead
Coalition . These efforts typically address areas such as lead - based paint hazard
prevention , education and distribution of information , regulatory compliance, and
mitigation and technology .

Five-Year Strategic Plan
Housing Needs ( 91 . 205 ) :
Five-Year Strategic Plan Housing Needs Response :
1 . Housing Needs
"Affordable" housing units are those units that have rents which do not exceed 30 %
of a household 's gross income . Housing costs that exceed 30 % are considered to be
an excessive or severe cost burden and will result in less money being available for
other key household costs , such as food , health care, child care, and transportation .
Table 6, following , provides estimates of the availability of housing units that were
priced within the range of low- income households and compares that with the
income of the household . Data used for this Table was provided from HUD 's
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS ) , which has been updated for
2009 using data from the 2005 - 2007 American Community Survey (ACS ) . The data
in the ACS was provided for Larimer County as a whole . However, estimates specific
to Fort Collins have been extrapolated using a multiplier of 51 % due to the fact that
when ACS data was collected , 51 % of all housing units in Larimer County were in
Fort Collins .
For rental units, nearly half ( 54 . 2% ) of households earning under 30 % Area Median
Income (AMI ) were living in units that were affordable to them , which means that
45 . 8% of households at this income level were paying more than 30 % of their
income and had a cost burden . For households earning between 31 % and 50 % AMI ,
55 . 5% were living in units that were affordable , based on their income, and 44 . 5 %
were burdened by their housing costs . On the ownership side, there were no owner-
occupied households with incomes at or below 30 % AMI, since these households
generally do not earn enough money to purchase a home . For households earning
between 31 % and 50 % of AMI, 44 . 6 % of households had incomes adequate for this
price range , and 55 . 6 % were burdened by housing costs .

Housing Needs for Renter Households
Table 7 , following , shows renter household housing needs . These households are
experiencing housing problems, which are defined as having a cost burden ( paying
more than 30 % of income for rent/utilities ) , living in overcrowded units ( more than
23
Five-Year Strategic Plan
one person per room ) , and/or a lack of complete kitchen and plumbing facilities or
sub-standard housing . The Table shows the extent of cost burden by 30 % , as well
as those households that are spending up to 50 % of their household incomes on rent
and utilities , correlated to household size and composition . This data is based on the
2005 - 2007 American Community Survey, as well as the 2000 Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy data .
More than half of all renters are experiencing housing problems , Most of these
problems are related to paying more than 30 % of household income on rent and
utility costs . The number of households with housing problems is higher for
households which have incomes of less than 50 % AMI , while households with
incomes over 50 % AMI generally have a lower incidence of housing problems .
Large, related - households are experiencing housing problems to a greater extent and
may also be living in overcrowded conditions . Households in the " Other" category
are also more severely cost- burdened , with 88 . 2 % of households paying more than
30% of the household income for rent and utilities .

Housing Needs for Owner Households
Owner households in the large, related - household category that earn 30 % of AMI or
less, are all experiencing housing cost burden problems . As with renter households,
as income increases, the incidence of cost burden decreases . Table 8 summarizes
this information . Many households having incomes of over 80 % AMI are
experiencing few or no housing problems, as their household income is high enough
to overcome the housing problems being faced by households with incomes below
50% of AMI ,

Housing Needs for Persons with Disabilities, Including Persons with
HIV/AIDS and their Families
Table 9 , following , shows the housing needs for persons with disabilities , based on
household income levels . These households are experiencing some type of housing
problem . At the lowest income levels ( 30% AMI and under) , 64% of the renter
households that include persons with disabilities, and 75 % of owner households that
include persons with disabilities, are experiencing housing problems . At the same
time, 95 . 5 % of renter households, and 60 . 8 % of owner households with incomes
between 30 , 01 % and 50 % AMI , are experiencing housing problems ,

Overcrowding
Overcrowding is another housing problem faced by some households . The 2005-
2007 American Community Survey estimated that a total of 553 housing units, or
1 . 0 % of all housing units in Fort Collins, had more than one occupant per room ,
26
Five-Year Strategic Plan
resulting in overcrowding . The percentages of overcrowded units in Colorado are
somewhat higher than those in Fort Collins , as noted in Table 10 .

Housing Needs of Households on Waiting Lists
The Fort Collins Housing Authority's waiting list for Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers is closed because it may take several years for households on this waiting
list to receive a voucher . There are 914 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers , and the
waiting list for these vouchers has approximately 50 households on it ; each of those
households includes a person with disabilities . The Public Housing waiting list is still
open, as is the Project- Based waiting list and the waiting list for Single Room
Occupancy ( SRO ) units . The Section 8 Project- Based waiting list has over 1 , 200
households on it . There are 149 Project- Based vouchers for use at Neighbor to
Neighbor's Coachlight Plaza and Crabtree Apartments , Table 11 summarizes the
demographics of households currently on these waiting lists .

Families with children accounted for about 48 % of households on the Public Housing
and Project- Based Section 8 waiting lists . Elderly persons accounted for large
segments of the Housing Authority's waiting lists , comprising 27 % of the Public
Housing list, 29 % of the Section 8 Project- Based list, and 96% of the SRO waiting
list, Persons with disabilities accounted for 5 % of the Public Housing and Project-
Based lists, and 1 % of the SRO list . The waiting lists are predominantly Caucasian
persons, with Hispanic or Latino persons accounting for 17 % on the SRO list, 21 % on

the Project- Based list, and 23 % on the Public Housing waiting list . The Housing
Authority has received 70 additional vouchers that are earmarked for veterans and
their families . However, 35 of these vouchers are allocated for use in Weld County .
2. Disproportionate Housing Needs
Housing needs have been evaluated based on race and ethnicity, to determine if
minority and ethnic populations are experiencing a disproportionately higher housing
need , when compared by income level , household type, or tenure ( i . e . , renter or
owner) . " Disproportionate need " is defined by HUD as being 10 % higher than the
overall category as a whole . Table 12 , following , shows household income in Fort
Collins, total households , households experiencing housing problems , and the
disproportionate need threshold . Housing problems include such things as sub-
standard conditions of the housing unit ( i . e . , incomplete kitchen and/or plumbing
facilities) , affordability issues (cost- burden ) , and overcrowding . These problems
translate into housing needs for those households experiencing these problems .

Five-Year Strategic Plan Priority Housing Needs Response .
1 . Priority Housing Needs
Estimates of housing needs in Fort Collins are shown on the Priority Housing Needs
Table in Appendix D . The data on this Table was taken from HUD 's Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS ) Data Book, which has been updated , based on
data from the 2005- 2007 American Community Survey . This Table includes data for
renters and homeowners separately, by household income levels ( percentage of Area
Median Income ) , and by household size . Household composition is also indicated ,
from small elderly households of one or two persons to large- related or family
households . Housing needs include problems such as high cost- burden ,
overcrowding , and housing units that lack completed kitchen or plumbing facilities .
2 . Impact of Housing Market
The City's Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (AHSP) , which has recently been
updated , provides the basis for the City 's affordable housing development priorities
and goals . The AHSP gives an overview of the community's affordable housing
stock ; determines the existing and future housing needs for low- income households ;
and identifies those populations with the most urgent need for affordable housing .
This Strategic Plan is updated every five years and includes relevant demographic
data ; data for renter and owner-occupied households ; the needs of specific
populations ; and the economic conditions of the community . The Larimer County
Housing Needs Assessment , completed in 2009 , was also used to establish priority
housing needs .
The data used for the AHSP and the Consolidated Plan has been provided through
the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy ( CHAS ) , which is derived from the
2005 - 2007 American Community Survey. Other studies were also used , including
the quarterly Multi - Family Housing Vacancy and Rental Survey, prepared by Dr.
Gordon E . Von Stroh of the University of Denver ( under the sponsorship of the
29
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Colorado Division of Housing , Apartment Realty Advisors , and Pierce- Eisien ) .
The drop in new construction has resulted in rehabilitation and remodeling of some
older homes , which has improved the housing stock in the community by increasing
energy efficiency, and improving livability . In some cases, physical accessibility
improvements have been made , as homeowners and occupants may need assistance
to address mobility constraints . As the population continues to age , and the number
of persons with disabilities increases , there is expected to be a greater demand for
housing units that will accommodate persons who have disabilities . The number of
houses in foreclosure in Fort Collins and Larimer County may provide an opportunity
for property acquisition to be done at a reduced price and offer homeownership
opportunities for lower- income households . For more information, refer to the
Housing Market Analysis section (91 . 210 ) of this Plan .
3 . Basis for Assigning Priorities
The Priority Housing Needs have been determined based on local housing market
conditions, as well as the relative priority of need in the community and the ability to
address such needs, given funding levels . For further information , refer to the Basis
for Priority Needs and the Basis for Assigning Priorities sections of this Plan .
4 . Barriers to Meeting Underserved Needs
Barriers to meeting underserved housing needs have been addressed in similar
sections above .
Housing Market Analysis ( 91 . 210 ) .
1 . Housing Market Characteristics
A. Housing Supply
According to the 2008 American Community Survey, there were 58, 114 housing
units in Fort Collins, of which 54, 398 units were occupied . Of the occupied housing
units, 30, 878 units ( 67 . 1 % ) were owner-occupied and 23 , 520 units ( 32 . 9 % ) were
renter-occupied units . Since 2000 , there has been an increase in homeownership, as
shown on Table 14, following . During this same period , the number of new housing
units built totaled 10, 754 units, for an average of 1 , 075 new housing units each
year. Of these, 7, 348 (or 68 . 3 % ) were single- family units, while 3 , 406 (or 31 . 70/0)
were multi -family units , In 2009 , there were only 185 new housing units
constructed . City sales tax revenues have also dropped from $ 64, 650 , 000 in 2008 to
$ 62 , 170 , 000 in 2009, which is a 3 . 8% decrease . Residential building permits issued
in January and February of 2010 represented an increase of 158% over the same
months in 2009 , However, this increase does not necessarily mean the housing
market is improving .

B . Condition of Housing Stock
As noted in the Lead - Based Paint Hazards section of this Plan , 42 . 811/o of all of the
existing housing units in Fort Collins were constructed prior to 1979 . As a result ,
many of these units may be in need of basic repair and rehabilitation . The Fort
Collins Housing Authority provided abatement of lead - based paint in 2009 for 14 of
its housing units and has addressed lead - based paint in many of its housing units as
rehabilitation occurred in the past .
C. Housing Cost
The average home sales price has steadily increased in Fort Collins from 2000 until
2008, when a decline occurred and the average sales price dropped by 1 . 0% . The
number of homes sold began to decline in 2007 and continued to drop in 2008 and
2009, to a 10 - year low of only 2 , 923 sales . At the end of the 2009 Fourth Quarter,
there were 1 , 301 single-family homes for sale in the Fort Collins area . Table 15
summarizes this information .

Five -Year Strategic Plan
The Everitt Real Estate Center at Colorado State University released a report in
September of 2009 showing that housing prices in Fort Collins and Timnath saw
appreciation rates between 1997 and 2009 reach nearly 50 % . This report also noted
that home values dropped about 4 % during the first half of 2009 from the same
period in 2008 .
Housing affordability is improving somewhat in Fort Collins. The PMI Mortgage
Insurance Company's Affordability Index tracks housing prices, as well as income
and interest rates in developing an Affordability Index . This Index is compared to a
1995 baseline, and a score of 100 was established at that time . Scores over 100
show a higher level of affordability , while scores under 100 show lower levels of
affordability . The Fort Collins- Loveland area received an Index score of 147 . 54 for
the First Quarter of 2009 . This means that homes in the area in early 2009 were
47 . 54% more affordable than they were in 1995 . The national average for the First
Quarter of 2009 was 133 . 3 % . Lower interest rates play a key role in this Index, as
do home prices . However, incomes must be high enough to qualify for a home
mortgage, and lenders have generally used more stringent lending requirements in
the past year. In February of 2010 , home mortgage rates dropped below 5 % , which
is the lowest rate in 38 years .
D. Foreclosure
Foreclosures have continued to hit the Fort Collins and Larimer County housing
market. In 2009 , 2 , 091 foreclosures were filed and 817 foreclosure sales were
finalized . While the number of foreclosures filed in 2009 increased over 2008, the
number of foreclosure sales completed in 2009 was higher than in 2008 . Data in
Table 16 , following , summarizes the foreclosure history for 2008 and 2009 in Larimer
County . During January of 2010, 137 foreclosures were filed , compared to 152
during January of 2009 . In February 2010 , 152 foreclosures were filed , compared to
200 in February of 2009 . Foreclosure sales completed in January of 2010 ( 98) were
higher than in January of 2009 ( 64) , while February 2010 foreclosure sales ( 73 )
were up slightly from February 2009 sales ( 71 ) .

The Colorado Foreclosure Hotline started in October of 2006, and was immediately
receiving calls from homeowners seeking help in trying to avoid foreclosure . In
February of 2010, the Hotline call center received its 100 , 00& call . Fort Collins-
based Neighbor to Neighbor is a participant in the hotline , offering foreclosure
prevention counseling to homeowners who are in danger of losing their home to
foreclosure . In 2009 , Neighbor to Neighbor assisted 445 households with foreclosure
prevention and saw that 96% of those assisted managed to avoid foreclosure .

Five-Year Strategic Plan
E . Rental Market
The Colorado Multi-Family Housing Vacancy & Rental Survey is produced quarterly by
Gordon E , Von Stroh , Ph . D . , of the University of Denver. This Survey is sponsored
by the Colorado Division of Housing , Apartment Realty Advisors , and Pierce- Eislen
and provides information on rental units in Fort Collins . In some cases , data is only
available for the combined Fort Collins/ Loveland area and is noted on the Tables on
the next pages .
The average vacancy rate in Fort Collins has fluctuated over the past 4- 1/ 2 years,
from a low of 4 % in the First Quarter of 2009 , to a high of 9 . 9% in the Second
Quarter of 2009 . These numbers are somewhat surprising , However, the high
vacancy rate for the Second Quarter of 2009 appears to be influenced by vacancy
rates of 13 . 7 % in northwest Fort Collins (area north and west of the College Avenue
and Prospect Road intersection ) and 10 . 2% in southwest Fort Collins ( area south and
west of College Avenue and Prospect Road intersection ) , which may be attributed to
vacancies in student apartments during the summer break of Colorado State
University ( May- July) , when college students are out of town .
Average rents fluctuated from a low of $ 728 . 57 during the First Quarter of 2007, to a
high of $ 860 . 81 during the First Quarter of 2009 . The high average rent in the First
Quarter of 2009 was influenced by an average rent of $ 966 . 60 in northwest Fort
Collins, an area where student housing is concentrated . The vacancy rate is expected
to continue to drop and is impacted , to a large extent, by the demand for student
housing . New housing has increased the number of student housing units on-
campus and off-campus . There are 13 residence halls housing over 5, 000 students
on -campus, as well as single units and family units that house more than 1 , 000
students in on and off- campus locations . Fifty new , privately- owned , off- campus
units are planned adjacent to and north of campus , at the northwest corner of Laurel
Street and Howes Street in the Oval Flats development . These units are expected to
be available for students by mid - 2010 .

Five-Year Strategic Plan
The vacancy and rent survey has also been completed for affordable housing units in
Fort Collins and Loveland , combined , and began with the Third Quarter of 2006 ,
"Affordable " units are those units that are deed - restricted and have income
restrictions at or below Area Median Income levels for residents . Table 18 , following ,
illustrates this information . The lowest vacancy rate for affordable housing was
during the First Quarter of 2008 , at 4 . 5% , while the highest vacancy rate of 9 . 8%
occurred during the First Quarter of 2009 . Average rents dipped to $ 581 . 07 during
the Third Quarter of 2008 and reached a high of $ 710 . 21 in the First Quarter of
2008 , The overall lowest average rents are found in northeast Fort Collins, which is
east of College Avenue and north of Prospect Road .

Source : Colorado Multi-Family Affordable Housing Vacancy & Rent Survey
The Area Median Income (AMI) for Fort Collins, as established by the U . S .
Department of Housing and Urban Development for 2009, was $ 75 , 200 for a family
of four. For income levels that are at 80 % of AMI , an affordable monthly rent would
not exceed $ 1 , 376 for a family of four . Affordable rents for 50 % AMI would not
exceed $ 812 per month , and 30 % AMI rents would not exceed $436 for a four-
person household . Based on the average rents for 2009 shown previously on Tables
18 and 19, households earning less than 30 % of AMI have the most difficult time
finding housing that is affordable .
F . Housing for Persons with Disabilities
The Fort Collins Housing Authority has 48 housing units that are accessible or
adaptable to accommodate persons with disabilities . Harmony Road Apartments is a
22- unit supportive housing development in Fart Collins, which serves persons with
disabilities, and opened in 2009 . Disabled Resource Services ( DRS ) has 15 vouchers
that are currently being used in Loveland and has over 100 people on a waiting list
for housing vouchers . DRS 's Community Transitions Program helps move persons
with disabilities from nursing homes into affordable housing , such as occurred with
the Harmony Road Apartments , The Larimer Center for Mental Health ( LCMH )
provides housing units for over 50 persons with mental illness and administers a
total of 115 housing vouchers . Foothills Gateway has 80 clients residing in group or
staffed homes , with 84 in host homes, and 73 in independent living situations .
34
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Another 180 clients reside at home with their own families . Persons with disabilities
who are homeless have a very difficult time being accommodated at Catholic
Charities Hostel of Hospitality (The Mission ) , and usually a motel is their next option .
Group homes that may accommodate persons with disabilities are available in Fort
Collins, and nursing homes provide other sources of housing , although often at a
higher cost, due to the level of care available .
The number of veterans returning from war with disabilities is increasing , and out of
an estimated 23, 067 , 000 veterans nationally, 3 , 100 , 000 ( or 13 . 5 % ) are receiving
disability compensation . Disabilities may be hidden disabilities, such as Traumatic
Brain Injury (TBI ) or Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome ( PTSD ) , or physical or sensory
disabilities . Estimates are that up to 25 % of veterans may suffer from PTSD . In
Larimer County , 620 new claims for veterans services were filed in 2009 and as of
2008, there were an estimated 22, 936 veterans living in Larimer County ,
G . Housing for Persons with HIV/AIDS
As of the end of 2009 , there were 195 persons reported to be living with HIV ( 103 )
or AIDS ( 92) throughout Larimer County . The Northern Colorado AIDS Project
( NCAP) served 182 persons in 2009, with 56 clients being Fort Collins residents .
There are no housing units in Fort Collins specifically intended to serve persons with
HIV/AIDS and their families . However, NCAP has ten Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers for its clients . These vouchers are not assigned for use specifically in Fort
Collins, but half of them are currently being used in Fort Collins . NCAP recently had
13 clients on a waiting list ( which has since been closed ) for tenant- based rental
assistance vouchers, and assisted 5 clients in 2009 with its Short Term Rental ,
Mortgage and Utility Assistance program . An estimated 16 individuals in Fort Collins
request housing assistance annually through NCAP .
H . Housing for the Elderly/ Frail Elderly
The elderly and frail elderly have choices for housing in Fort Collins . However, many
of these choices are not affordable , particularly for those who are low- and
moderate - income households . There are 534 assisted housing units or units that
have reduced rents for the elderly, and some of these may be occupied by persons
with disabilities that are not elderly . CARE Housing reserves 10 units at its Swallow
Road location for persons 62 and older. There are also over 560 independent living
units, 538 assisted living beds, and over 750 nursing home beds in Fort Collins .
Most of the nursing homes in Fort Collins accept Medicaid clients, while very few of
the assisted living facilities will accept Medicaid .
2 . Assisted Units
The Fort Collins Housing Authority owns and operates 154 units of Public Housing ,
The Housing Authority's Public Housing waiting list had 1 , 510 households on it as of
late 2009 . The Housing Authority administers 914 Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers in Fort Collins ; 149 of these vouchers are Project- Based . The Section 8
waiting list has 50 households on it but is closed due to the time it takes to receive
housing . However, the Project- Based waiting list had 1 , 203 households on it as of
late 2009 . The Single - Room Occupancy waiting list had 187 applicants on it . The
Housing Authority is receiving 70 additional vouchers to be used by veterans and
their families, 35 of which will be allocated for use in the Fort Collins/ Larimer County
area . The other 35 will be used for Weld County .
35
Five -Year Strategic Plan
Tables 19 and 20 , following , describe the number of housing units and intended
population ( s) to be served by these units . There are 154 public housing units ; 512
units of affordable housing specifically to serve seniors ; 98 units to serve persons
with disabilities ; and 14 units for large families ( i . e . , 4- bedroom or larger units) .
CARE Housing has 80 accessible units at its Fort Collins locations, which were
developed using Low - Income Housing Tax Credits ( LIHTC ) .

In addition to the units listed on Table 21 , preceding , some Section 8 vouchers and
other rental assistance vouchers are used for scattered site single-family homes .
Other organizations have housing vouchers for the use of their clients, including
NCAP ( 10 ) , the Larimer Center for Mental Health ( 115 ) , Disabled Resource Services
( 15 ) , and Foothills Gateway ( 129 ) , accounting for a total of 269 households served .
The Fort Collins Housing Authority anticipates doing an analysis of its real estate
portfolio during 2010 to determine the community 's 20-year capacity needs and
funding to support such needs . As a result of this analysis, it is possible that the
Housing Authority may decide to dispose of some of its properties in the future .
However, if units are sold , it is anticipated that these units will be replaced with
others acquired by the Housing Authority or replaced with vouchers ,
3 . Impact of Housing Market Characteristics
The economic and housing market slump over the past two years has resulted in a
higher number of foreclosures . As homeowners lose their homes, they typically look
for housing in the rental market. Rental vacancy rates have historically been higher
during the Second Quarter of each year, being somewhat influenced by college
students leaving town after completion of the spring semester in mid - May. However,
vacancy rates have generally been dropping for the past two years . As vacancies
decrease , rents typically increase, making rental housing less affordable for low- and
moderate - income households . There were very few building permits issued in 2008
and 2009 , While the number of 2010 permits has increased , this increase is not
necessarily indicative of a return to the former housing market . The only affordable
housing units or developments that have been constructed in the past two years
have been by Habitat for Humanity and Accessible Space ( Harmony Road
Apartments for persons with disabilities) . Housing values are starting to increase
again . However, overall , housing costs in Fort Collins have been lower in 2009 than
at times in the past . At the same time , unemployment and underemployment have
resulted in fewer households being able to afford homeownership, even with lower
home prices .
38
Five- Year Strategic Plan
The need for affordable housing has not diminished in Fort Collins and the City will
continue to support affordable housing development . The greatest need is for
affordable housing for rental units below 50% AMI . The preservation and
improvement of older housing stock through rehabilitation is a more cost effective
way to provide decent, suitable affordable housing , while sustaining neighborhoods
at the same time .
Specific Housing Objectives ( 91 . 215 [ b ] ) :
Five-Year Strategic Plan Specific Housing Objectives Response :
1 . Specific Housing Objectives
In order to provide decent housing to Fort Collins residents , the City will improve the
availability, affordability and sustainability by meeting the following goals and
objectives :
Housing Goal 1 ; Increase the inventory of affordable rental units through the
production of new rental units, or the acquisition and rehabilitation of former market-
rate units, converting them to affordable housing .
Objective 1 : The City of Fort Collins will actively solicit the development of
new rental units that are affordable to households earning 5011/b of Area
Median Income (AMI ) or less .
Housing Goal 2 : Preserve affordable housing units by monitoring the status of
existing affordable units to maintain or add to the inventory .
Objective 2 : The City will use funds for rehabilitation of existing affordable
housing units .
Housing Goal 3 : Increase housing and facilities for people with special needs .
Objective 3 : The City will support the development of a new shelter and
housing opportunities for persons with special needs .
Housing Goal 4 : Provide financial assistance for first-time homebuyers .
Objective 4 : The City will encourage and provide assistance to first-time
homebuyers .
Table 22 , following , lists the City's Specific Housing Objectives, along with the
proposed five -year goals . More information on the strategies intended to accomplish
these goals and objectives is included in the 2010 - 2014 Affordable Housing Strategic
Plan , which is included in the Other Narrative section of this Plan . If the City were to
pursue a program based on achieving a minimum of 10 % of the current need in each
program or activity, the following Table identifies what these five-year goals would
be :

funds and $ 685 , 677 in HOME funds annually for the five- year period of this Plan . In
addition, Program Income is expected to generate additional funds that can be used
to meet specific housing objectives, resulting in an expected total of $7 , 700 , 000 over
the five- year period of this Plan . Additional funds from the City's Affordable Housing
Program are also included in the total .
Other sources of funding that may be available for housing projects include the
following :

ownership, rentals) , Colorado Division of Housing grants and loans ,
Supportive Housing Program , Colorado Coalition for the Homeless .
• Local Resources : City of Fort Collins Affordable Housing Fund , City of Fort
Collins Land Bank Program , Larimer County Health and Human Services
Grants , United Way Grants , Bohemian Foundation , Funding Partners for
Housing Solutions, Homelessness Prevention Initiative , Community
Foundation Grants, Private Activity Bond Financing , partnerships with local
lenders, and private contributions .
Needs of Public Housing ( 91 , 210 [ b ] ) :
Five-Year Strategic Plan Needs of Public Housing Response :
The Fort Collins Housing Authority owns and operates 154 units of public housing .
Table 19 , shown previously, lists the Public Housing units by number of bedrooms .
The Housing Authority received Economic Stimulus funds for the rehabilitation of
many of these units . For each of the five years covered under this Plan , the Housing
Authority expects to receive and spend about $ 250, 000 per year in Capital Funds for
the rehabilitation of its Public Housing units . It plans to use the funds to improve
40
Five-Year Strategic Plan
energy efficiency, as well as the livability of those units . Of these 154 units, persons
of minority populations comprised 5 % of residents , and 38 % were of Hispanic or
Latino origin . Thirty-four percent of the units were occupied by persons with
disabilities , and 8% were senior residents .
As of late 2009 , there were 1 , 510 households on the waiting list for Public Housing
units . It can take over a year on this waiting list to receive public housing . On the
waiting list were 408 households that included persons with disabilities and 75 senior
households . The Project- Based Vouchers program had a waiting list of 1 , 203
households, which included 349 households with persons with disabilities , and 60
senior households . The waiting list for Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers is closed ,
but has about 50 households of persons with disabilities on this list . Applications are
placed on the waiting list in order by the date and time that the completed
application is received by the Housing Authority .
Public Housing Strategy ( 91 , 210 ) .
Five-Year Strategic Public Housing Plan Strategy Response ,
1 . , 2 . Public Housing Strategy and Plan
The Fort Collins Housing Authority administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
program , which assists low- income households in finding safe, decent, and affordable
housing in privately-owned housing units . The Housing Authority certifies eligible
households and negotiates directly with local landlords for private rental housing .
The Housing Authority administers 914 vouchers, of which 149 are Project- Based
vouchers, assigned to specific housing developments . The Project- Based vouchers
are used at Neighbor to Neighbor properties ( Coachlight Plaza , Crabtree Apartments)
and the Northern Hotel (SRO units) . The Fair Market Rents ( FMR) for FY2009 are
shown on Table 23 . These rents represent the maximum that a Section 8
voucher holder is permitted to pay for rent and utilities, under HUD guidelines .

The Fort Collins Housing Authority's Goal # 6 ( Work as a partner and resource with
other community groups to develop and meet common goals . ) , includes an action
step for " Development of the relationship between the City of Fort Collins and other
governmental entities" . This action acknowledges the close working relationship that
the City of Fort Collins and the Fort Collins Housing Authority have, and reinforces
the need for both entities to continue to work closely together to further the
provision of affordable housing in Fort Collins, particularly for the lowest income and
special needs families .
The Fort Collins Housing Authority/ Housing Corporation encourages its residents to
participate in its Boards, as well as in educational , recreational , and social activities .
Public Housing units owned by the Housing Authority have been/are being upgraded ,
with improvements intended to improve energy efficiency, as well as an overall
improved sense of livability . The Housing Authority has received $ 249 , 975 annually
and expects to receive that amount, on an annual basis, for the next five years to
upgrade its units.
The Housing Authority prides itself in " putting people ( its residents) before profits" .
The Fort Collins Housing Authority's mission is : "To provide and promote affordable
housing , economic opportunity and a safe living environment free from
discrimination ". The Housing Authority also operates a program that allows the use
of a Section 8 Housing Choice voucher to be used toward a mortgage payment for
those families who can qualify to become homeowners . Since its inception , 30
households have become homeowners through this program, and nine became
homeowners in 2009 .

Barriers to Affordable Housing ( 91 , 210 [ e ] and 91 . 215 [f] ) :
Five-Year Strategic Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing
Response .
1 . Barriers to Affordable Housing
There are a number of factors that may serve as " barriers" to affordable housing .
These barriers may include the cost of housing , as well as the renter/homeowner or
prospective renter/homeowner's ability to afford rent or purchase housing . The
ability to afford and rent, or purchase, is strongly influenced by income and wages ,
as well as credit history . That credit history may include either a history of bad
credit, or little or no credit history. As a result of the economic downturn , lender
willingness to loan money for home mortgages has become a greater influence than
previously experienced , but has tended to "weed out" many of the predatory lenders
who were in business prior to 2008 . Rents in Fort Collins have been increasing since
mid -2009 and are not affordable to many individuals and families, as shown by the
number of households that are on waiting lists for Public Housing assistance in Fort
Collins . Declining rental vacancy rates are expected to result in increasing rents,
particularly with newer rental units in Fort Collins . A large number of home
foreclosures and bankruptcies will also continue to affect many people's ability to find
rental housing or become homeowners again .
Public policy and decision making can also serve as a barrier to affordable housing ,
since many decisions made in the public sector ultimately have an impact on the cost
of housing . These policies and decisions include land use and zoning regulations,
growth management boundaries, the development review process, building and
construction codes and costs, and tax regulations .
The City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI ) study, completed in
2007 , identified barriers that affect housing affordability, as well as fair housing
choice . Public policy barriers identified included : development - related costs and
fees ; transportation ; decrease in funding ; and neighborhood opposition through
NIMBY- ism ( Not In My Back Yard ) . Other identified barriers , such as income and
wage levels , foreclosure and credit history issues , and language, can serve as
additional barriers to finding affordable housing . However, these factors are not
directly related to local public policy, and the City 's ability to remove or address
these barriers is somewhat more limited .
2 . Strategies for Addressing Public Policy Barriers to Affordable
Housing
In addition to providing financial assistance, the City of Fort Collins offers a number
of development incentives for development proposals that qualify as affordable
housing developments , These incentives are intended to address public policy
barriers that might otherwise affect the cost of affordable housing and the City's
ability to influence the provision of such housing . In order to qualify, development
projects must provide at least 10 % of the total number of housing units for
44
Five-Year Strategic Plan
households that earn 80 % or less of Area Median Income (AMI ) . If qualified , the
development is then eligible to receive the incentives described below .
1 . Impact Fee Delay. These fees are usually paid at the time a building permit is
issued , but under this incentive, the payment of fees can be delayed until a
Certificate of Occupancy is issued , or December 1 of the particular year, whichever
occurs first. Delaying the payment of fees can serve as a key incentive by reducing
up - front development costs .
2. Development Fee Waiver. The fees for development review are waived , based
on the percentage of affordable units proposed .
3 . Administrative Construction Fee Waiver. Some fees may be waived , based
on the percentage of affordable units proposed in a development, and can include
construction inspection fees , development permit fees, right-of- way license fees, and
street cut fees .
4. Priority Processing . This incentive gives priority processing to qualified
affordable housing developments .
5. Density Bonus. Affordable housing development in the LMN ( Low Density Mixed -
Use Neighborhood ) District allows an increase in residential density from eight units
up to 12 dwelling units per acre .
These incentives have been in place for a number of years . Given the current
economy and housing market, they may not be as effective as originally intended .
As a result, they should be evaluated and other best practices explored for
application to Fort Collins in helping encourage and promote the development of
affordable housing units.
In addition to incentives, the City's Affordable Housing staff has worked to " put a
face" on affordable housing , producing an award -winning poster campaign . The
poster series highlighted residents who need affordable housing , such as teachers,
firefighters , and office workers . This issue is of particular importance, as opposition
to affordable housing developments often focuses on who may ultimately reside in
affordable units . This type of public outreach and education is a way to address
issues related to neighborhood opposition and NIMBY- ism .
Homeless Needs ( 91 . 205 [ b ] and 91 . 215 [ c ] ) .
Five-Year Strategic Plan Homeless Needs Response :
Homeless Needs
An analysis of persons sheltered at Catholic Charities Hostel of Hospitality (The
Mission ) in Fort Collins during 2007- 2008 was done by Larimer County for its
Compass publication . This analysis showed a total of 636 homeless individuals
sheltered between July 1 , 2007 and June 30 , 2008 . Of these , 500 ( 78 . 60/o ) were
adult males , while 74 ( 11 . 6 % ) were adult females and 62 (or 9 . 7 % ) were youth .
45
Five-Year Strategic Plan
The characteristics of those sheltered at The Mission during this time are
summarized in Table 24 , following . Persons experiencing unemployment, and those
with substance abuse issues , were the most prevalent issues . The August 28 , 2006
statewide Point- in -Time ( PIT) homeless count showed 556 persons homeless in all of
Larimer County, with 476 (or 85 . 6 % ) being sheltered and 72 being unsheltered . Of
those counted in 2006, 35 ( 6 . 2% ) were chronically homeless, while 318 (or 57 . 1 % )
were episodically homeless . Of the persons sheltered at The Mission during 2007
and 2008 , 93 . 8 % had incomes under 30 % AMI .

The first point- in -time ( PIT) homeless count in Fort Collins was held on March 9 ,
2010 . This count was spearheaded by the Homeward 2020 initiative, which has a
goal of providing " rapid response sustainable housing " for all homeless Fort Collins
citizens by the year 2020 . A ten -year plan will be developed , with information
collected from the Point- in-Time count serving as the baseline for the plan . This
effort will focus on developing a plan that will address both chronic and episodic
homelessness , and will include prevention , housing , services , education , and
employment. This study concluded that the number of homeless people in Fort
Collins on March 9, 2010 was 518, with an additional 617 people at risk for becoming
homeless .
The Homeward 2020 initiative is a collaborative effort that involves many community
partners, including the City of Fort Collins , as well as UniverCity Connections, the
Community Foundation , the Fort Collins Housing Authority, CARE Housing ,
Crossroads Safehouse, Neighbor to Neighbor, Catholic Charities , the Sister Mary Alice
Murphy Center for Hope , the Open Door Mission , the Homelessness Prevention
Initiative , United Way of Larimer County , Larimer Center for Mental Health , Poudre
Valley Health System , Larimer County Workforce Center, and Habitat for Humanity .
About 145 local agencies and organizations provide some level of service and
assistance to the local homeless population , with services ranging from shelter, case
management, and food , to transitional or permanent housing . On April 23 , 2010,
the community's first Project Homeless Connect was held and offered immediate
services to more than 200 individuals who were homeless or at risk of becoming
will 46
Five-Year Strategic Plan
homeless , including housing and legal information, medical and dental screenings,
mental health/substance abuse services, haircuts , employment assistance, bus
passes, and grocery cards .
The Poudre School District ( PSD ) had 737 homeless children attending school as of
January 2010 . Of these , 138 were enrolled in the Early Childhood Program ; 343 in
Elementary School ( Grades K- 5) ; 93 in Middle School ( Grades 6-8) ; and 163 in High
School ( Grades 9- 12 ) . The majority of these youth and teens report their housing
situation as living with other relatives or family friends, often with a grandparent .
Others report living at local shelters or in local transitional housing , motels,
temporary foster homes, or in area campgrounds . For many, their living situation is
unstable at best, and a change in school or school district is very common . As a
result, these youth and teens may have a difficult time establishing a support system
of friends and teachers, and are at a disadvantage in their pursuit of an education .
United Way's 2 - 1 - 1 hotline experienced a doubling in the number of calls from
persons who are homeless between July and October of 2009 ( 147 ) as compared to
the same time period in 2008 ( 68) . The most requested services in Fort Collins and
throughout Larimer County by 2 - 1 - 1 callers in 2009 were for : assistance with
income/support ; information services ; clothing/ personal needs ; health care ; and
individual , family and community support. The Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for
Hope was averaging 85 people daily by the end of November 2009, and 56 % of the
households that received assistance were households with children . The Center staff
had anticipated serving about 30 persons per day when it opened in March 2009 .
During the first year of operation , the Center had over 19 , 000 visits for service . The
Center operates a homeless gear program - - providing sleeping bags , blankets, and
other items to help those without shelter survive on the streets .
A severe weather day shelter was open in Fort Collins between November of 2009
and March 2010 , and was operated by Catholic Charities . During this time, 824
unduplicated individuals used the day shelter . Services provided included lunch ,
access to a computer, and showers . The majority of those served received lunch and
used this facility as a place of shelter during the daytime . Since the closure of this
day shelter, Catholic Charities has expanded its hours of operation to serve lunch
and has been serving an average of 55 persons daily .
The Loveland - Berthoud Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN ) is planning to expand
into Fort Collins to serve the homeless population here . The IHN framework includes
local host churches that provide overnight shelter, three meals a day , and hospitality
by church volunteers . Homeless families arrive at local churches for an evening
meal , spend the night there, and then are driven to the Network's day shelter, Angel
House, or to their jobs or school . They return to Angel House and are driven to the
host church for the evening . This concept is used successfully through the U . S . ,
making use of church space that is otherwise unused during the evening . Ideally,
eight to ten churches participate as hosts, so that the host location can be rotated
throughout the year. Based on the demand in Loveland , IHN/Angel House staff
anticipates a need to shelter 20 Fort Collins families during the year, sheltering about
four families at a time, for approximately 50 days each . In addition to shelter, the
Angel House provides case management and mentoring services, assisting about 150
families annually .
The Homelessness Prevention Initiative ( HPI) began in 2001 , and became a program
of United Way of Larimer County in 2004 . By 2007 , this program became an
47
Five-Year Strategic Plan
independent non - profit , providing rental assistance to community residents who
have, or who are at risk of, losing their housing through unforeseen circumstances,
such as job loss, reduction in hours , or emergency medical costs . The program
provides basic rent assistance at a maximum of $ 300 (averaged $ 273 per household
in 2009) and served 837 households ( an increase of 27 . 7 % over 2008 ) , as well as
providing counseling and referrals . A supplemental grant is available to families
who qualify and gives a maximum of $ 200 to families with children , if the family is
working with Consumer Credit Counseling . A record level of demand for this
program was experienced in 2009, with a total of $ 258 , 777 dispersed . By December
2009, HPI had provided $ 1 , 000, 000 in assistance since its 2001 inception .
Assistance is limited to one time a year .
Finding information about available services is key to those who are homeless, as
well as those who are at risk of becoming homeless . A new program , Concerned
Larimer, is working to enhance the provision of information and services to persons
in Larimer County who have unmet needs . Concerned Larimer is a network of
trained "connectors" who can link services with persons in need and works with the
United Way 2- 1 - 1 staff and a database of over 850 providers for identifying available
services and screening for eligibility . The " connectors" are persons from local faith -
based communities who are trained to facilitate information and resource sharing .
Priority Homeless Needs :
Five�Year Strategic Plan Priority Homeless Needs Response :
1 . Priority Homeless Needs
The priority for addressing homeless needs in Fort Collins is to :
1 . Provide support and assistance to agencies and organizations that provide
permanent supportive housing .
This priority was established based on the input received during the development of
this Plan , as well as the noted gaps in service and needs that were identified through
the Continuum of Care planning process . The largest gaps were identified in
emergency and transitional housing , as well as permanent supportive housing .
2 . Chronic Homelessness
A count was conducted in Fort Collins on March 9 , 2010 which has reported that 518
individuals in Fort Collins were homeless on that date with an additional 617 people
at risk for becoming homeless . In August 2006 , a statewide Point- in -Time homeless
count showed 556 persons homeless in all of Larlmer County, with 476 sheltered and
72 unsheltered . Of those counted in 2006, 35 were chronically homeless, while 318
were homeless on a periodic basis .
There are currently 134 emergency shelter beds at local shelters , including The
Mission , Open Door Mission , and Crossroads Safehouse . Transitional housing
provides 122 units ( SRO units, Crossroads and The Mission transitional units) ; and
there are 34 permanent Supportive Housing units ( Larimer Center for Mental Health
and Harmony Road Apartments) . These numbers only address a small portion of the
current need . The estimated chronically- homeless population in Fort Collins consists
48
Five-Year Strategic Plan
of 40 persons who are homeless at any given time , on a regular basis . Many in the
chronically homeless population suffer from mental illness and/or substance abuse .
In addition to providing shelter or housing , it is also critical to provide a system of
supportive services, particularly for those persons with mental illness and/or
substance abuse . Case management is offered at local shelters, but the demand has
outpaced the ability to provide such services . Since the Sister Mary Alice Murphy
Center for Hope opened in March 2009 , staff members at the Center have seen up to
85 persons per day seeking assistance from one or more of the agencies located
there .

Prevention
The City of Fort Collins will continue to encourage the use of federal funding to
produce new transitional housing , as well as to retain existing transitional housing
units owned and operated by local non - profit agencies and organizations . The City
will also continue to direct federal funding to those agencies that provide supportive
services to homeless individuals and families . The City participates in the North
Front Range Continuum of Care ( NRFCC) network, which focuses on the coordination
and collaboration among many agencies to ensure that needs are met in the most
financially efficient method .
The Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope , which opened in 2009 , provides on -
site counseling and referrals for housing , mental health , and other supportive
services to persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless . The Center
does not serve as a day shelter, but does offer a place during the daytime for those
who are meeting with case managers on -site . A year- round day shelter has not
existed in Fort Collins since the closing of the New Bridges Day Shelter over a decade
ago .
The Homeward 2020 initiative is working to develop a plan to address (eliminate)
homelessness in Fort Collins by 2020 , and will include strategies for those who are
chronically or episodically homeless . This plan is expected to be completed and
implemented during 2010 and is a collaborative effort with over 100 local agencies
and organizations . The City of Fort Collins has provided funding for this effort and
will continue to work in collaboration with Homeward 2020 . The Homeward 2020
Plan will provide the detailed strategies to address the future of the Fort Collins
homeless population , as well as homelessness prevention strategies .
The Homelessness Prevention Initiative ( HPI ) and Neighbor to Neighbor provide
rental assistance to community residents who have lost or are in danger of losing
their housing through unforeseen circumstances, such as job loss, reduction in
hours, or emergency medical costs . HPI provides basic rent assistance to a
maximum of $ 300, and assisted 837 households in 2009 . A supplemental grant for
families with children gives a maximum of $ 200 if those families are working with
Consumer Credit Counseling . This assistance is intended to provide a safety net to
help families avoid becoming homeless . Neighbor to Neighbor also provides
assistance with security deposits .
4. Institutional Structure
The City 's Advance Planning Department serves as the lead agency for the City of
Fort Collins when participating with non- profit agencies and organizations who serve
the homeless population in the community . Strategies for the prevention of
homelessness have been, and will continue to be, collaboratively developed among
the following partners :

S . Discharge Coordination Policy
The City of Fort Collins will continue to work with North Front Range Continuum of
Care member agencies and organizations to ensure that local discharge policies are
coordinated , to the maximum extent possible . Several local entities are involved in
discharging local residents . Their discharge policies are summarized as follows .
Poudre Valley Heath System ( PVHS ) - Poudre Valley Health System , including
Poudre Valley Hospital , Medical Center of the Rockies, Mountain Crest Behavioral
Health , and the Family Medicine Center, provide discharge planning and counseling
services to all clients who are in need of medical and/or psychosocial services post -
discharge . Those services include referrals to ; facilities and agencies licensed to
provide skilled nursing and rehabilitation services ; home health agencies ; assisted
living centers ; and both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health/counseling
facilities and agencies . For those who don 't have the means to pay for services ,
including those who are homeless and those who are at risk of becoming homeless,
medications, transportation , and/or case management services are provided post-
discharge . Referrals to services and resources in the community include those for
financial , housing ( including the Fort Collins Housing Authority, shelters, and
safehouses) , food , transportation , and low- or no-cost medical and prescription
services . These referrals are made to agencies and services locally and in other
communities from which the patients and families come to PVHS for care .
Larimer County Detention Center ( LCDC) - The Larimer County Detention Center
housed an average of 469 persons monthly in 2009 , which has been declining from a
monthly high of 513 in 2005 . The maximum number of jail beds is 557 . The decline
in jail population in the past five years has been a result of an early release
agreement, which allows some offenders to be released without serving their full
sentence . The Detention Center's Counseling Department meets with all offenders
who are detained for more than 48 hours and reviews community resource
information packets about options inmates may have . For homeless offenders who
have had extended stays, the Detention Center provides applications for the Fort
Collins Housing Authority programs, particularly the SRO program . The Detention
Center also provides coordination with Larimer Center for Mental Health ( LCMH ) for
treatment of offenders who need mental health services after their discharge .
Offenders may be discharged to The Mission if there are no other options available .
If those being released are in need of in - patient substance abuse treatment, they
53
Five-Year Strategic Plan
may be transported to the Island Grove Regional Treatment Facility, which is a detox
facility in Greeley .
The Fort Collins Housing Corporation , an arm of the Fort Collins Housing Authority ,
has a Memorandum of Agreement ( MOA) with the Detention Center to give priority
processing and additional support to women who are discharged from Community
Corrections . However, referrals under this Agreement have been few, and Housing
Coordinators at the Housing Authority believe it is because women coming out of the
corrections system have trouble affording local rents . Also, the Housing Corporation
has an MOA with Crossroads Safehouse to provide two apartments to women with
families who are moving out of the Safehouse into transitional housing .
Local non - profit agencies and organizations work to explore and use all housing and
support service options available before discharging persons to the streets, which is
done only as a last resource . Several local organizations have policies that will not
permit them to be part of a " pass through " situation for State and non - local agencies
that may be discharging without an appropriate plan . These are :
Catholic Charities Hostel of Hospitality (The Mission ) - Because of an initial
two-week, length-of-stay policy, The Mission will not hold a bed for anyone . Beds
are awarded equally through the use of a lottery system . The Mission cannot accept
persons who are not ambulatory, or who may need nursing care, since this higher
level of care is not available there .
Larimer Center for Mental Health ( LCMH ) - For Larimer County residents being
discharged from State mental health facilities, LCMH will arrange transitional housing
through its Choice House and Promise House . Another option when transitional
housing space is not available, is to discharge patients to Greeley`s Acute Treatment
Center, which requires a specific discharge plan prior to admission .
Local agencies and organizations will continue to coordinate services related to
discharge planning for the justice, mental health , child welfare , and public health
systems of care .
Community Development ( 91 , 215 [ e ] ) .
Five-Year Strategic Plan Community Development Response ,
1 . Priority Community Development Needs
Community development programs are intended to help in the provision of a suitable
living environment and expand the economic opportunities for low- and moderate-
income persons . These programs include : Public Facilities that serve low - income
residents ; Public Services that provide support and resources for low - income
households ; public improvements , including improvements to streets , sidewalk, curb ,
gutter, and streetlights ; and economic development programs or activities that result
in the creation of jobs or the provision of job skills that will lead to self-sufficiency .
54
Five -Year Strategic Plan
The Community Development priorities for Fort Collins have been identified as
follows :
a . Public Facilities : In order to provide a suitable living environment, the City of

Narrative for Priority Community Development Needs Table .
The following information serves as a supplement and background to the Housing
and Community Development Activities Table found in Attachment D . Some funding
amounts are not included , or are not listed as " planned ". This is because of the
City's Competitive Process for funding affordable housing and community
development projects . Funding will be decided on an annual basis, depending on
funds available and applications received . Not all agencies or organizations listed in
the Housing and Community Development Activities Table and in this section receive
CDBG/ HOME funding . If specific information about a program or organization is
available , it has been included in this Narrative section .
Acquisition of Real Property ( 01 ) : 1 ) CARE Housing , and 2) Fort Collins Habitat
for Humanity are the only agencies who have acquired property for the development
of new affordable housing units . Habitat will begin construction on housing units in a
portion of the area known as " Linda Norton 's Neighborhood " in the Union Place
Subdivision , on North College Avenue . The first four units in Union Place are
expected to cost $ 740, 000 ( $ 185 , 000 per home ) . Habitat's goals are to build six
new homes annually, or 30 units over the next five years . CARE Housing will begin
construction of the first phase of its new Provincetowne location in southeast Fort
55
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Collins, which consists of 85 units . An additional 70 units are planned , and
depending on funding and the housing market, are expected to be completed within
the next five years . 3 ) Neighbor to Neighbor anticipates the acquisition of
approximately 30 additional existing housing units during the next five years, with an
estimated cost of $ 1 . 5- $ 1 . 8 million . 4 ) The Fort Collins Housing Corporation has
recently acquired and rehabilitated several multi - family apartment complexes and
anticipates acquiring more units in the future . As an additional resource, the City's
Land Bank program is a potential source of land to be used for affordable housing
development .
Public Facilities
Public Facilities and Improvements ( 03 ) : Although Public Facilities are a lower
priority for the City's Competitive Process funding , the City of Fort Collins tries to
maximize resources for all demonstrated need . Crossroads Safehouse has recently
received funding from the City of Fort Collins toward the purchase of a new, larger
facility. The agency is seeking additional funding for the estimated cost of a new
shelter at $ 5 , 500 , 000 . The Fort Collins City Council has allocated $ 350, 000 of non -
federal City funds toward this project .
Senior Centers (03A) : The City 's Senior Center has experienced expanding usage
of its facility and serves over 1 , 000 persons daily . By 2020, the senior population of
Fort Collins is estimated to exceed 74 , 000 , As a result, an expansion is planned to
this facility, which is expected to cost $ 12 , 000, 000 . The Fort Collins City Council has
allocated $4, 000 , 000 of non -federal funding to the project , and fundraising is
underway by the Senior Center's Grants Writing Committee .
Handicapped Centers (03B ) : The centers that serve persons with developmental
or physical disabilities are : 1 ) Foothills Gateway ( 301 W . Skyway Drive) ; 2 ) Foothills
Gateway Respite Care Facility (400 Wood Street) ; 3 ) Respite Care ( 6203 S . Lemay
Avenue ) ; 4) Elderhaus Adult Day Programs ( 605 S . Shields Street) ; and 5 )
Elderhaus' center housing its Mindset Community Resources program (4825 S .
Lemay Avenue - leased from Evangelical Covenant Church ) .
Homeless Facilities ( 03C ) : 1 ) Catholic Charities' Hostel of Hospitality (The
Mission ) ; 2 ) Open Door Mission ; and 3 ) Severe Weather Hospitality Center
(temporary day center) . When the Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope opened
in March of 2009 , it did not include a day shelter component . This is still a great
need in the community, and a task force is working on the development of a
permanent day shelter . Visitors to the Center for Hope may remain in the Center as
long as they are working on programs ( e . g . , computer training , employment
assistance, etc . ) or are meeting with a case manager. A year- round day shelter has
not been available in Fort Collins since the New Bridges Day Center closed over a
decade ago . A severe weather day shelter was operated by Catholic Charities
between November of 2009 and March of 2010 and served 824 unduplicated
individuals with lunch , access to a computer, showers, and a place of shelter during
the daytime . Catholic Charities, at its Hostel of Hospitality site, has since begun
serving lunch on a regular basis and serves an average of 55 persons daily . The
organization plans to offer more day service programs for homeless persons at The
Mission and also expand the living space there . Funding for expansion of the
building , as well as expanding programs, is estimated at $ 625 , 000 over the next five
years .
56
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Youth Centers ( 03D ) : 1 ) Boys and Girls Club ( north Fort Collins) ; and 2 ) Youth
Activity Center (south Fort Collins) . The Youth Activity Center (YAC ) is now used for
programs and events and is not open on a regular basis , or to the public. The Boys
and Girls Club anticipates the need for improvements to its current facility. A new
roof, sound proofing for the gymnasium , and energy efficiency improvements are
needed . A separate space for older teens is planned within the next five years . Cost
estimates are $ 120 , 000 for improvements to the existing building , and $ 1 , 000 , 000
for a teen space .
Street Improvements (03K) : The City's Master Transportation Plan , completed in
2003 , includes a survey of all needed street improvements , as well as priorities and
related costs . Funds are not available for many of these improvements . City policy
prohibits the use of city - wide funding for neighborhood -specific improvements . In
many cases, the use of Special Improvement Districts to fund these improvements
would be cost- prohibitive to the small number of households that would be
responsible for payment. There are about ten pedestrian improvement projects
located within the target neighborhoods where the sidewalk system is incomplete
and low- and moderate- income residents could benefit from the completion of these
systems . The costs for these projects were originally calculated in 2003 dollars and
have been re - estimated for 2010 costs ( using a factor of 1 . 3212 ) , for a total of about
$ 2 , 250, 000 .
Child Care Centers ( 03M ) : The child care agencies receiving public subsidies for
client child care costs are : 1 ) Teaching Tree ( formerly United Day Care Center) ; 2 )
B . A . S . E , Camp ; 3 ) Respite Care ; and 4 ) La Familia/The Family Center. These
centers cover full -day care , after- school care for elementary school students, respite
care for special needs children , and care for Spanish-speaking/bilingual children .
Teaching Tree served 177 children in 2009 , of which 30 % were from low- income
households . This agency has had waiting lists for infants and toddlers for two years .
Interior improvements are planned at an estimated $ 67 , 000 , B . A . S . E . Camp
provides before- and after-school care , preschool services , care during school breaks
and school - out days, and summer day camp . In 2009 , 2, 605 children, ages three
through 14 , were served , with most being five to thirteen years old . Increasingly,
more participants in B .A. S . E . Camp are families who had higher incomes , but as a
result of a job loss or work reduction , are seeking lower- cost child care . Respite
Care provided over 38 , 000 hours of care to 111 families in 2009 . Instead of using a
waiting list, Respite now limits its care to a maximum of four days per week, except
during vacation stays. Plans are to expand the Summer Day Camp from five weeks
to nine weeks , as well as increase after- school program capacity through other
established programs , such as B . A . S . E . Camp and the Boys and Girls Club ,
La Familia/The Family Center provides child care for infants and children at least six
weeks old , and up to five years old . The agency recently had 62 children enrolled
(capacity of 66) , with 46 children participating in the Sliding Scale Fee Tuition
Assistance program . Waiting lists had 18 infants and children waiting . The Family
Center recently began a $ 1 million fund - raising campaign ( $ 500 , 000 match from the
Bohemian Foundation ) to pay off the mortgage on its current facility and purchase
adjacent space for expansion to double capacity. The purchase of additional space
may be a lower priority until the economy improves .
Due to increased demand , Respite Care has limited families receiving care to a
maximum of four days a week, so that all clients can receive some level of respite
each week . Based on population projections for the next five years, there is an
57
Five-Year Strategic Plan
expected population increase of more than 800 children , ages five and under, many
of which , may need child care services .
Larimer County stopped enrollment in the County's Child Care Assistance Program
( CCAP) as of March 1 , 2010 , due to a lack of funding . A waiting list for this program
was started for the first time . As of the end of March , there were 58 children from
39 families on the list . In early February of 2010, there were 1 , 136 children enrolled
in this program . Estimates are that 356 will need to be removed from the program ,
through attrition , as families no longer meet the eligibility requirements , An
estimated $ 1 . 3 million of supplemental funding is needed to support the program .
Licensed child care centers that serve CCAP children and licensed home care centers
will receive payment cuts, as well . Costs for this program have increased since the
program benefit was extended from 30 days up to 180 days .
Abused / Neglected Children Facilities (03Q ) : There are no facilities of this
nature in Fort Collins . Court Appointed Special Advocates ( CASA) , Lutheran Family
Services, and Realities for Children serve families where abuse is occurring . The
CASA program served 250 children and 114 families, while Harmony House provided
331 children and 204 families with supervised visitations and exchanges at Harmony
House in 2009 , CASA staff noted that nearly one - half of the children and families
served in 2009 were there as a result of substance abuse in the family.
Facilities for HIV/AIDS Clients (03S) : The Northern Colorado AIDS Project
( NCAP) staff estimates a need for housing for ten to twenty persons living with
HIV/AIDS . Transitional housing units and a group home to accommodate ten
persons are estimated to cost about $ 5 . 5 million .
Operating Costs ( 03T) have been divided into Homeless Programs ( 03Ta ) and
HIV/AIDS Client Programs (03Tb ) .
Operating Costs of Homeless Programs ( 03Ta ) : 1 ) Catholic Charities/The
Mission ; and 2 ) Open Door Mission , Catholic Charities assists about 700 persons
with shelter and over 14 , 000 households annually through its Emergency and
Community Assistance and Senior Outreach programs . Case management has
become more complex, requiring more time to assist each client . The Open Door
Mission has seen a consistent level of demand for its services and expects the
current demand to continue .
Operating Costs of HIV/AIDS Client Programs by Northern Colorado AIDS
Project ( NCAP ) (03Tb ) : NCAP has stated that they need significant additional
funds to meet the growing need in the community . NCAP currently serves 56 Fort
Collins residents living with HIV/AIDS . In 2009 , there was a 4% increase in the total
number of clients served , including 14 new clients in Fort Collins . Factors influencing
client care are the economy, increased cost of care and treatment, transportation
barriers, unemployment, reduced private funding , stigma, poverty, mental health
needs, and substance abuse . NCAP offers free HIV testing and direct referrals of
new " positives " into medical case management, Based on these factors, NCAP
anticipates an increase in clients of more than five percent .
NCAP is the sole area recipient of $ 500 , 000 in federal Ryan White funding that
provides access to housing , insurance continuation , and the AIDS Drug Assistance
Program . In response to the prolonged economic downturn , NCAP has currently
stabilized salaries and reduced staff. NCAP's development plan has changed to
58
Five -Year Strategic Pian
diversify the funding base to continue to provide the same level of service with less
funding and more restrictions on the funding it receives . Current operating costs run
approximately $ 110, 000 annually . Projected additional operating costs are
approximately $40, 000 and two additional staff.

program serves over 200 seniors annually . Program operations cost about $ 80, 000 ,
The Senior Center provides life- enhancing services to seniors at all income levels. A
major expansion is planned for the Center, with an estimated cost of $ 12 , 000 , 000 , of

30, 000 hot meals are also provided to seniors at seven locations in Fort Collins .
Volunteers of America also operates RSVP, which is a volunteer program for retired
seniors . Elderhaus is included in Section 05B , below . Larimer County operates
several programs in support of low- income and at- risk elderly persons and their
caregivers , The Family Caregiver Support Program is federally funded through the
Older Americans Act . The program was developed by the Larimer County Area Office
on Aging to provide information , support, and assistance to individuals who are
caring for a loved one over 60 years of age in the home . The Long Term Care
Ombudsmen at the Larimer County Area Office on Aging are trained , experienced
advocates who provide services to help resolve complaints and concerns regarding

( 91 ) for this period . DRS has 15 Section 8 vouchers that are currently being used in
Loveland . It has over 100 persons on its voucher waiting list and estimates a need
for 200 vouchers to accommodate this housing need . In 2009, DRS moved 11
persons out of nursing homes and into affordable housing ( some at Harmony Road
Apartments ) through its Community Transition Program . DRS staff is working in
crowded administrative conditions, and much of its equipment is in storage in
multiple locations . DRS began a Building and Capital fund raising campaign in 2009 ,
to raise funds to lease, or acquire/develop space for DRS offices and equipment
storage needs . The estimated costs could range from $ 25 , 000 for an annual lease,
up to $ 3, 500 , 000 to purchase or develop new space .
59
Five -Year Strategic Plan
Elderhaus provided 13 , 087 units of service in 2009 for older, special needs Larimer
County residents at its two facilities : Elderhaus on Shields Street and Mindset
Creative Community Resources on Lemay Avenue , for higher-energy adults .

a variety of other programs for seniors . Respite Care provides care for individuals
with developmental disabilities up to age 21 .
Foothills Gateway served 312 adults and 221 children in 2009 . The waiting list for
services from Foothills was 349 adults and 230 children as of early 2010 . This
waiting list is now larger than the number of persons receiving services . Foothills
Gateway is seeing an increasing demand with insufficient resource levels to meet this
demand .
Legal Services (05Q@, 1 ) Colorado Legal Services . All clients of Colorado Legal
Services are low- income persons, and over 1 , 000 are served annually on topics
including housing , consumer/finance , family law, and health - related issues .
Youth Services (05D) : 1 ) Boys and Girls Club ; 2 ) City of Fort Collins Youth Activity
Center (YAC) ; 3 ) Partners Mentoring Youth ; 4 ) Center for Family Outreach ; 5 )
Matthews House ; and 6 ) B . A. S . E . Camp . The Boys and Girls Club had 1 , 527
members during 2009 and 27, 161 visits throughout the year . The Boys and Girls
Club serves children , ages six to eighteen . The YAC is no longer used as a daily,
public facility . Instead , it is available for special programs and events only, and has
seen a reduced level of usage . Partners mentored 301 youth in 2009 and has a goal
of working with 350 youth in 2010 . There are 75 youth working in the Nexus
Program ( which serves as a waiting list for other mentoring programs) , and another
50 youth waiting for the Nexus Program . Funding for Partners' new school - based
mentoring program has been funded for the first four years and will potentially need
$ 60, 000 to continue for the fifth year. The Center for Family Outreach served 789
youth between the ages of ten and eighteen during 2009 . About 500 youth are
referred from the District Attorney's office for drug or alcohol abuse, or for

being monitored . The Center will be opening its services to the community as a
whole, and expects to see an increase in the demand for its services . A new
program, Campus Corps , will involve Colorado State University students as mentors
for at- risk youth .
Substance Abuse Services ( 05F) : 1 ) Larimer Center for Mental Health ; 2 ) Health
District of Northern Larimer County ; and 3 ) Turning Point. The Poudre Valley Health
System provides a variety services for households of all income levels . The Larimer
Center for Mental Health is the main provider for low- and moderate- income clients .
There is limited funding for substance abuse treatment and more active intervention
is needed . Over 3, 300 clients are served annually, most of which are from low- and
moderate- income households, and the need for services is expected to continue to
increase . Persons who are dually-diagnosed ( mental illness and substance abuse )
have a difficult time finding treatment, particularly those with low incomes . Other
programs operated by the Larimer Center for Mental Health include : residential
treatment ; housing assistance programming ; the Spirit Crossing Clubhouse ;
vocational services , and Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness
( PATH ) . Turning Point served 219 children and families in 2009 in Fort Collins and
has started an emergency mental health service program for its clients . This
60
Five -Year Strategic Plan
program is receiving many referrals and as a result, those seeking services must
wait .
The Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Partnership brought together
the Health District of Northern Larimer County, Poudre Valley Health System and the
Larimer Center for Mental Health to work for changes in the local mental health and
substance abuse service and delivery systems . Since its inception in 1999 , this
partnership has grown to include 53 individuals representing 35 agencies . One of its
programs, known as Connections, has helped over 20, 000 Larimer County residents
connect to mental health and substance abuse services . In 2009 , Connections
served 208 clients in Fort Collins . Another collaboration among the Health District,
the Larimer Center for Mental Health , and the Fort Collins Housing Authority is the
Community Dual Disorders Team ( CDDT) . This program serves 12 homeless
individuals at a time, working with those who have severe co- occurring mental illness
and substance abuse disorders by combining housing with intensive case
management and supportive therapy . This program has resulted in a significant
reduction in jail and prison days , reduction in emergency services use and
hospitalization , and has resulted in community cost savings of over $ 260 , 000 .
Because of cost savings , two additional individuals are currently participating , for a
total of 14 . The Health District staff estimates that another 50-75 persons could
benefit from this program, if space were available .
The Alternatives to Incarceration for Individuals with Mental Health Needs, or AIIM
Program , was developed as a joint venture between the Larimer Center for Mental
Health , Larimer County Community Corrections, the Sheriff's Office , and the
Probation Department. This program offers an alternative to incarceration for repeat
offenders who have mental health issues related to their crimes . The program
reduces jail bed days, as well as the number of persons in the probation , courts, and
jail systems . There is still a need for a detox/Acute Treatment Unit (ATU ) facility to
serve Larimer County residents, at an estimated cost of $ 7 , 500 , 000 . Individuals
currently must go to Weld County to receive treatment.
The Center for Family Outreach provides education , intervention and support for
families who are dealing with adolescents with drug and alcohol addictions, anger
and conflict, and other issues .
Battered and Abused Spouses ( 05G ) : Crossroads Safehouse is the agency
serving domestic violence survivors in Fort Collins . In 2009, Crossroads provided
8 , 553 nights of shelter to 220 adults and 216 children and had to turn away 67
adults and 70 children due to a lack of space . Crossroads has begun a fundraising
campaign for a new facility at a cost of $ 5 , 500 , 000 . The City of Fort Collins has
allocated $ 350 , 000 in non -federal funding toward this project as a loan from a Police
Services fund .
Employment Training ( 05H ) : The Education and Life Training Center ( ELTC)
provides employment and training services to low- and moderate- income clients .
ELTC works with single parents and persons who have disabilities . This agency
served over 1 , 500 clients in 2009 . The Larimer County Work Force Center is the
local governmental entity that provides employment training services in Fort Collins,
but is not included in statistics or costs, since it is a governmental agency.
Tenant/ Landlord Counseling ( 05K) : Neighbor to Neighbor ( N2N ) is the primary
agency offering counseling to address tenant/ landlord issues . N2N served 326
61
Five-Year Strategic Plan
households with housing counseling services in 2009 . Other organizations that
provide such counseling are Colorado Legal Services, and the City's Neighborhood
Services Department . Colorado State University provides counseling for housing
issues specifically related to students . In addition , CSU 's Student Legal Services
assists with student tenant/ landlord issues . The City's Neighborhood Services
Department has a Community Mediation Program , which provides mediation for

Centers 03M .
Health Services ( 05M ) : 1 ) Health District of Northern Colorado ; 2 ) Rehabilitation
and Visiting Nurse Association ( RVNA) ; 3 ) Women 's Resource Center ( WRC ) ; 4 )
Salud Family Health Clinic ; and 5) Family Medicine Center . Also see notes under 05F
and 050 . Northern Colorado AIDS Project is described under 03S and 055 . The
Larimer Center for Mental Health is described under 05F and 050 . The Health
District served over 3 , 600 low- and moderate- income persons in more than 9 , 000
client visits for dental health services . Prescription assistance for free or discounted
prescriptions was provided for over 1 , 300 prescriptions at an estimated value of
$ 1 , 500, 000 . RVNA saw 497 Fort Collins clients in 2009 and had up to 30 persons
waiting for services during 2009 , with two-thirds of those waiting being 60 years or
older.
The Women 's Resource Center provides health care services to women with lower
incomes who are medically underserved . In 2009 , WRC served over 1 , 000 female
clients through its Health and Dental Assistance programs . The highest demand was
for the mammogram program , followed by the dental program . These two services
have seen a 15 % and 1611/o increase, respectively, over the previous year. WRC
works closely with Latinas in the community and expects to see its client numbers
increase .
The Salud Family Health Clinic is sponsored by Family Health Centers and provides
health services to low- and moderate - income clients . In Fort Collins in 2009 , Salud
provided services to 10, 950 clients through nearly 17 , 000 client visits . Much of the
increase in demand for Salad 's services has come as a result of the loss of health
care coverage for persons who have lost jobs and cannot afford the cost of COBRA
health benefit coverage .
The Family Medicine Center is operated by Poudre Valley Hospital and served 8, 500
clients in 2009 during 31 , 986 client visits . Center staff expects these numbers to
continue to increase and is considering opening an urgent care facility . A barrier to
providing health services is having an adequate number of doctors and nurses to
meet the demand for health care . Very few medical practices in Fort Collins accept
Medicare and Medicaid clients .
Abused and Neglected Children ( 05N ) : 1 ) Court Appointed Special Advocates
( CASA) ; 2 ) Lutheran Family Services ( LFS) ; 3 ) Realities for Children ; and 4 )

Harmony House visitation center in 2009 . This organization oversees supervised
visits or custody exchanges , and expects this demand to continue . CASA volunteers
represented 250 abused and neglected children in the court system . Lutheran
Family Services worked with children and foster families in Larimer County in 2009 .
Their program , Fostering Family Strengths, offers classes for families where abuse or
62
Five-Year Strategic Plan
neglect is occurring . During 2009 , LFS lost funding for some of its classes and
support groups . Realities for Children is a unique organization that, through its 150
business members, raises funds to meet the needs of abused and neglected children
in Larimer County . Realities for Children provides emergency funding to Adoption
Dreams Come True, Alternatives to Violence ( Loveland ) , Larimer County Department
of Human Services, the Namaqua Center ( Loveland ) , The Center for Family
Outreach , and Matthews House . In 2009 , Matthews House served 74 Fort Collins
youth who are transitioning to living on their own . 'It is averaging one call weekly
from Poudre School District, referring teens for service . Other teens are seeking
services on their own , after hearing , through word -of- mouth , about Matthews House ;
there is a waiting list for services . One area where demand is growing is for
substance abuse treatment for teens and youth .
Mental Health Services ( 050 ) : 1 ) Larimer Center for Mental Health ; 2 ) Health
District of Northern Larimer County ; and 3 ) Aging Center of the Rockies . The
Larimer Center for Mental Health served over 3, 300 low- and moderate- income
persons in 2009 . These numbers are expected to increase ; increased funding levels
would help expand services to include all self- pay and uninsured clients . An
estimated one in every five persons , or 20 % of the population , has some mental
health issue . The increased numbers translate to an operations increase of over
$ 100 , 000 annually .
The need for a detox/Acute Treatment Unit was mentioned previously . In addition to
this facility, other high - priority needs include permanent housing with supportive
case management, and additional group living housing with 24 - hour staffing for
persons with dual -diagnoses . The Aging Center of the Rockies is a fairly new non-
profit agency ( 2007 ) that provides mental health services to persons 55 and older,
and their families, on a sliding -scale fee system , based on income . The Center also
serves as a supervised training facility for students who are not yet licensed . It
notes that, in addition to a large aging Baby Boomer population , life expectancy is
increasing . Therefore , the need for mental health services for this older population
will continue to increase . In 2009 , the Aging Center served 23 individuals and
families .
Screening for Lead - Based Paint ( 05P) : See notations under 14I, Lead -
Based/ Lead Hazard Testing/Abatement
Rental Housing Subsidies ( 05S) : 1 ) Neighbor to Neighbor; 2 ) Homelessness
Prevention Initiative ( HPI) ; and 3 ) Salvation Army . Neighbor to Neighbor assisted
448 households with emergency rent assistance and 164 households with first
month 's rent in 2009 . The program typically runs out of funding before meeting the
annual demand for rent assistance . The Homelessness Prevention Initiative assisted
837 families with rental assistance totaling $ 258 , 777 in 2009, a 62% increase over
funds dispersed in 2008 . In 2009, the average amount of basic assistance given by
HPI was $ 273 , and the average supplemental assistance for families with children
was $ 148 . HPI conducted a three - month study in 2008 of families who received rent
assistance and found that after three months , 9811/o of those who responded were still
in the same housing . The response rate of this study was 66 % . The Salvation Army
provided rent assistance to 53 households in 2009, at a value of over $ 11 , 000 . More
than 1 , 500 households received either first month 's rent or emergency assistance in
2009 from these organizations .
63
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Security Deposits ( O5T) : 1 ) Neighbor to Neighbor ; 2) Disabled Resource Services ;
and 3 ) Northern Colorado AIDS Project all assist with security deposits or first
month 's rent for clients at risk of becoming homeless . Residents of Fort Collins
Housing Authority units noted a need for assistance with security deposits , as well as
longer-term rent assistance (available for several months ) ,

Program ) ; 2 ) Neighbor to Neighbor ; 3 ) Fort Collins Housing Authority ; and 4)
Disabled Resource Services ( DRS ) . The Handyman Program provides home safety
and repairs, including the installation of grab bars and handrails , minor repair on
stairs, and installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to seniors . Neighbor to
Neighbor and the Fort Collins Housing Authority have provided architectural barrier
removal in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at their
housing units . DRS provides assistance through its Housing Improvement Program ,
by removing barriers to accessibility for its clients .
Construction ( 12) : 1 ) CARE Housing ; 2) Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity ; and 3 )
Fort Collins Housing Corporation . CARE and Habitat have been the primary
providers of new affordable rental and homeownership units . CARE plans on the
construction of 85 units in Phase I of its Provincetowne development in south Fort
Collins ; another 70 units are planned for Phase II . Habitat plans on an average of
six new homes being constructed each year for the next five years (for a total of 30
units) at an estimated cost of about $ 5 , 500 , 000 , The City of Fort Collins solicits for-
profit developers to construct new affordable housing units, but does not currently
consider construction assistance as a priority for the use of its HUD funding . The
City's preference has been to assist with land acquisition or with development fee
payment .
Direct Homeownership Assistance ( 13 ) : The City's Home Buyer Assistance
Program for first-time homebuyers uses CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership
Program funding and closed on 48 loans in 2009 . About 40 households are projected
to be assisted annually with this program , including participants in Section 8
homeownership programs . Funding Partners has temporarily suspended its down
payment assistance program . However, some local banks still participate in Funding
Partner's employer-assisted housing programs .
Rehab, Single- Family Residential ( 14A) ; The Fort Collins Housing Authority has
recently rehabilitated many of its single-family units using grants for rehabilitation
and energy efficiency improvements and will continue to make improvements using
the grants it receives . The Larimer Home Improvement Program ( La HIP) , with
$ 120, 000 in low- interest loans, assisted five Fort Collins households in 2009 with
rehabilitation of their homes . LaHIP typically has a waiting list of five to fifteen
households . While the number of applications has been increasing , funding has been
decreasing . Restoration Now is a new non - profit that provides rehabilitation
assistance in Larimer County and has helped with rehab and remodeling work on the
Project Self-Sufficiency offices in Loveland and Fort Collins, as well as residences in
Fort Collins and Larimer County .
Rehab, Multi - Family Residential ( 14B ) : The Housing Authority has rehabilitated
many of its multi -family units using grants for rehabilitation and energy efficiency
improvements, and will continue to do so with grants it receives . Neighbor to
64
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Neighbor anticipates rehabilitation on some of its housing units, at an average of
$ 3 , 000 per unit .
Public Housing Modernization ( 14C ) : Fort Collins Housing Authority . The
Housing Authority will receive about $ 250 , 000 yearly for rehabilitation and energy
efficiency improvements for its public housing units during a five - year period ( 2009-
2014) , for a total of about $ 1 , 250, 000 .
Energy Efficiency Improvements ( 14F) : The Fort Collins Housing Authority and
Neighbor to Neighbor plan to continue making energy efficiency improvements in
their housing units with rehabilitation projects .
Acquisition for Rehab ( 14G ) ; Several local housing agencies have considered
plans for acquiring older homes and rehabilitating them to sell , or to retain as
housing units . However, in Fort Collins , a large- scale program has not been a good
cost/ benefit match .
Rehabilitation Administration ( 14H ) ; The Fort Collins Housing Authority
estimates spending $ 20 , 000 yearly to administer housing rehabilitation programs .
Neighbor to Neighbor anticipates spending approximately $ 5 , 000 for rehab project
administration annually .
Lead - Based/ Lead Hazard Testing /Abatement ( 141) : The Fort Collins Housing
Authority has received grants in the amounts of $ 316, 000 and $462 , 000 for
rehabilitation activities for its Public Housing units . As units are rehabilitated , any
disturbance of surfaces containing lead requires mitigation , New EPA rules and
regulations will require greater care and expertise in treatment of these surfaces .
2 . Basis for Assigning Priorities
The priorities assigned for Community Development Needs were developed based on
input gathered during the Consolidated Plan development process, as well as City
policies, guidelines for the City's Competitive Process for funding , the Affordable
Housing Strategic Plan , and information from recent surveys . This prioritization also
takes into account the feasibility of activities and programs , the anticipated funding
levels, and whether other sources of funding are available to address the identified
needs . Projects that have the opportunity to leverage funds from other sources and
where funds can be loaned , rather than granted , and can generate program income ,
were also given a higher priority .
3 . Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Populations
As noted previously in this Plan , the primary barrier to meeting the community's
underserved needs is a lack of funding available to accomplish all of the identified
needs . In addition to funding levels , the continued need for collaboration is key to
developing and implementing lasting solutions to meet these underserved needs .
Supportive services, in addition to housing , are vital to encourage and promote self-
sufficiency . However, finding funding for these services is a barrier. The funding that
the City has to direct toward supportive services is not adequate to meet this need .
Several trends in the community are placing a strain on these services . Based on
input received from service providers and citizens in the development of this Plan , as
65
Five -Year Strategic Plan
well as recent surveys by Pathways Past Poverty, the following service needs exist in
the community .
1 . Most frequent service request : health/dental care, food , housing/emergency
shelter or housing , childcare, employment
2. Services in need of expansion : health/dental care , housing/emergency
housing , transitional housing , food , childcare, mental health services
3 . Services not currently available : housing/emergency shelter or housing ,
adequate transportation, emergency mental health care , substance abuse treatment,
year- round day shelter
Virtually all local service providers are seeing an increased demand for services,
particularly by special needs populations , including persons with disabilities ; persons
who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless ; persons with mental illness
and/or substance abuse ; unemployed or displaced workers ; persons with criminal
records ( particularly with felony records) ; and individuals and families displaced as a
result of foreclosure .
The unmet needs for these populations, particularly for very- low- income households ,
include : the full continuum of housing ; housing - related services ; case management;
emergency financial assistance ( rent, food , medication , childcare ) ; self-sufficiency
supportive services ; subsidized or free child care , medical care ; dental care ; vision
care; mental health care services ; substance abuse services ; financial literacy ; and
job skills training . Recent cuts in the Larimer County Childcare Assistance Program
(CCAP) will result in fewer families receiving childcare and reduced payments to the
local childcare providers who serve the lowest income families .
Youth : The City of Fort Collins has recognized the need for emancipated youth to
have access to rental housing as they work toward independence . Young people
typically have barriers to finding housing , as they may not have a credit history and
cannot sign legal contracts ( lease ) . There is a lack of funding for local agencies to
purchase housing to serve this population . Substance abuse is becoming a more
prevalent issue for young people, and there is limited access to emergency mental
health and substance abuse services in the community .
Judicial System : Individuals who are released from jail or prison are faced with
housing challenges, particularly those with felonies on their record and sex offenders .
Local programs offer alternatives to incarceration for some offenses and there are
early release programs for lesser offenses, so that the Larimer County Detention
Center population can be maintained at reasonable levels .
Homeless with Special Health Needs : Homeless persons living in the elements
are more likely to develop serious illnesses and often have untreated medical ,
dental , vision , and mental health needs . The Northern Front Range Continuum of
Care and Catholic Charities will continue to look for solutions to these needs .
Working Poor% The working poor are often one emergency away from becoming
homeless . With increasing unemployment, this situation has worsened in the past
year.
66
Five -Year Strategic Plan
Mental Illness, Co-Occurring Substance Abuse : The Larimer Center for Mental
Health is the primary local provider for mental health services . The need for mental
health and substance abuse services continues to increase . With the only in - patient
detox facility being in Greeley, there is a need for such a facility in Fort Collins , A
detox/Acute Treatment Unit would serve local residents and allow for family
members to be more involved in treatment done locally .
Other At- Risk Populations : Other at- risk populations, including persons with
disabilities, the elderly and frail elderly , and low - income minority households, face
continued barriers due to a lack of funding .
Single Parent Families : Single parent households typically need the full range of
services , including housing , health care , child care , transportation , and employment .
Supportive programs , such as Project Self- Sufficiency, can assist up to 1S0 families
and has waiting lists for this program .
4 . Community Development Objectives
The City of Fort Collins will implement the following Economic Development goal and
objectives :
Goal : In order to provide for economic opportunity, the City of Fort Collins will
improve the availability and sustainability of economic development by the following .
1 , Support, promote or expand development of the Fort Collins Urban Renewal
Authority ( URA) .
2 . Remove severely blighted properties, especially to promote redevelopment or
infill .
3 , Continue to expand use of tools for developments such as the Section 108
Loan Program , Brownfieids, and Economic Development Initiatives .
4 . Use CDBG funds to leverage public and private funds .
S . Support, establish or expand programs that provide job training or career
development for low - and moderate- income persons .
6 . Implement revitalization efforts in neighborhoods to improve housing and/or
economic development opportunities .
7 . Promote or support sustainable energy resources .
These proposed objectives will benefit low - and moderate - income households
through the creation of a more suitable living environment ( removal of severely
blighted properties and neighborhood revitalization ) and expand economic
opportunities for low - and moderate - income persons through the provision of job
training and career development . These objectives are based on the assumption that
funding will remain level for the five-year period covered under this Consolidated
Plan .
The City uses CDBG and HOME funds to further the housing/jobs/services linkage to
assist in breaking the cycle of poverty . A significant amount of grant funding has
67
Five- Year Strategic Plan
historically been directed to subsidize childcare costs . With the recent cuts in CCAP,
this will be an even more critical need , as families rely on affordable childcare in
order to work and/or attend school .
Another priority in the City's Competitive Process has been to direct funding toward
empowerment or self- sufficiency programs , such as Project Self- Sufficiency ( PS - S )
and the Education and Life Training Center ( ELTC) . ELTC's Employment Skills and
Training Program offers fast- track , low- cost training in areas where job opportunities
exist or have existed in the past, including medical coding and billing .
The City has historically not funded economic development projects . However, given
the current economy , as well as the City support for economic development- related
programs , this may be a needed component in the community's focus on
empowering its citizens . Funding for Economic Development may be met through
utilization of CDBG 's Section 108 Loan , although Section 108 has been in recent
funding jeopardy as a federal program .
Antipoverty Strategy ( 91 . 215 [ h ] ) :
Five-Year Strategic Plan Antipoverty Strategy Response :
1 . Goals, Programs and Policies to Address Poverty
A goal of the Consolidated Plan is to help reduce poverty through the provision of
activities and programs that are intended to promote and encourage self- sufficiency .
While short- term assistance for items such as rent, utility assistance, and food is
available on a temporary basis, the longer-term goal is to assist households to
become self-sufficient. Two keys to achieving self- sufficiency are employment and
housing . Project Self- Sufficiency 's ( PS-S ) program provides the needed elements to
move families toward self- sufficiency . In 2009 , PS- S served nearly 150 families and
was filled to its service capacity by early 2010 . There are only so many "slots" for
families to be comprehensively served through this program . Project Self-
Sufficiency's waiting list of over 100 Fort Collins families is at an all - time high . PS-S
staff is seeing more college-educated , single- parent families asking for assistance , as
well as more applicants with mental health and/or substance abuse issues , and
felony criminal records .
The Poverty Guidelines for FY2009 - 2010 , as determined by the U . S . Department of
Health and Human Services, are set at $ 10 , 830 for a one- person household ( in the
48 contiguous state and Washington , D . C . ) and $ 22, 050 for a four- person
household . Estimates in the 2006 - 2008 American Community Survey show 7 . 2 % of
all families in Fort Collins were living below the poverty level , while 23 . 0 % of families
headed by a single-female parent were living in poverty .
The average weekly wage in Larimer County in the Second Quarter of 2009 ( most
recent data available) ranged from a low of $ 264 in the Accommodation and Food
Services sector, to a high of $ 1 , 302 in the Utilities sector. The average weekly wage
of all sectors during this time was $ 793 . 10 .
In Larimer County and Fort Collins in 2008, the Self-Sufficiency Standard revealed
that in a two- adult, two- school - age children household , both adults would each need
to earn at least $ 9 . 85 per hour ( or one adult working , earning $ 19 . 70 per hour) ,
68
Five-Year Strategic Plan
based on a 40- hour work week . This equates to $ 3 ,466 per month , or an annual
income of $41 , 593 , This standard is the amount working families need to earn in
order to meet their basic necessities without receiving any public or private
assistance . These basic needs do not take into account any medical emergency
costs , or other unforeseen costs .
The City of Fort Collins adopted an anti- poverty strategy as part of its 1993
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy ( CHAS) . This strategy seeks to
integrate and coordinate local housing and support services for households that are
below the poverty levels . To accomplish this, City staff will continue to network and
participate on many community- wide task forces, and promote programs that
provide skills development , education , and job training for low- income persons , as
well as integrate public housing residents with programs that focus on self-
sufficiency .
The Pathways Past Poverty ( PPP) initiative is a program of United Way of Larimer
County, in collaboration with Colorado State University, the Northern Colorado
Economic Development Council ( NCEDC) , The Coloradoan , and several non - profit
agencies . This program began as a result of the increase in the number of persons
living in poverty in Larimer County and Fort Collins . It is focused on addressing all of
the causes of poverty, through changes in the approaches used by existing agencies
and organizations . Goals of this program include : access to quality childcare ; job
training ; critical life skills and education ; a multi - dimensional approach to low-
income housing ; and financial stability and literacy. Key partners with the founding
organizations of Pathways include : the Early Childhood Council of Larimer County;
Northern Colorado Workforce Initiative ; Larimer County Workforce Center ;
UniverCity Connections ; and Colorado State University's Extension Office . Funding
was recently granted to PPP for the Hand Up Cooperative . This program is a
collaborative effort between United Way, the Larimer County Workforce Center, the
business community and the Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope . It matches
businesses that have available jobs with pre-screened , qualified applicants who are
homeless and unemployed . Eight local businesses are participating in this program .
A transportation survey was conducted over two days in October of 2009 by
Pathways Past Poverty and the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning
Organization ( NFRMPO ) . Seven hundred surveys were completed and one in every
five persons who completed a survey noted that they had lost a job due to a lack of
transportation . During 2009, Senior Alternatives in Transportation , or SAINT,
provided over 12 , 000 rides to Fort Collins seniors and persons with disabilities .
The Salvation Army provided transportation assistance ( bicycles, local bus passes ,
and gas money) to over 400 individuals in Fort Collins . Transportation was cited as a
barrier to receiving services by persons surveyed for the development of this Plan .
The Larimer County Department of Human Services provided services to 14 , 118
adults and families on Medicare ; 357 households having a person with a disability
received Aid to Needy Disabled (AND ) funding . The Colorado Childcare
Assistance Program (CCAP ) provided 721 households consisting of 1 , 431 children ,
with childcare costs . Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)/ Larimer
County Works provides cash assistance to eligible families and is intended to
promote self- sufficiency . Families must have dependent children or be parents of an
unborn child to be eligible . During 2009 , there were 3 , 603 families in Larimer
County applying for TANF. That number represents more than double the
applications received in 2007 ( 1 , 617 applications) . During 11 months of 2009 ( data
69
Five-Year Strategic Plan
for August 2009 is not available ) , a total of 4, 027 families were receiving TANF
assistance, or an average of 366 per month . TANF/ Larimer County Works
applications also include assistance for food stamps , Medicaid , and child support
services . Recipients must participate in a work- related activity, which may include
education programs or job skills training , volunteer work, community services , job
search , and full or part-time employment .
2 . Extent of Poverty Reduction
There are a number of factors that affect local poverty levels, including the economy,
cost of living , housing costs , and wage/ income levels . Wages and income levels , on
average, are higher in Fort Collins than in the surrounding communities . This has
been due , in part, to the number of jobs in the higher- paying technology sector.
However, 5 , 300 jobs were lost in Northern Colorado between 2001 and 2005 , many
of which were in the technology industry . Some of these jobs have been replaced in
the community, but typically, were replaced with jobs that pay much lower wages .
Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS ) of Northern Colorado and Southeastern
Wyoming held 1 , 451 first- time appointments in Fort Collins . This number represents
an increase of 15 % over the number of first-time appointments held in 2007 . CCCS
staff held a total of 4 , 679 appointments in 2009 in Fort Collins, assisting its clients
with financial counseling , housing counseling , bankruptcy counseling , and debt
management. CCCS staff noted a great need to provide financial education at an
early age .
The Food Bank for Larimer County serves about 11 , 000 unduplicated persons
monthly through its Food Share program , and also provides food to area non - profit
agencies for their use . Of those served by the Food Bank, 53 percent are children ,
while nine percent are seniors . The Food Bank's Kids Cafe also provided over 60, 000
meals for children in 2009 . The Larimer County Low- Income Energy Assistance
Program ( LEAP) saw 6, 580 applications for utility assistance during the fall and
winter of 2009 . The program typically runs out of funding before the demand
subsides . Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army provided utility assistance to
about 1 , 000 households in 2009 .
The City of Fort Collins expects to continue directing federal funding to local agencies
and organizations that focus on helping families out of poverty and to become self-
sufficient . One such program is Project Self-Sufficiency, which assists nearly 150
families annually on the path to economic and social self- sufficiency . In addition to
housing , programs offered by Project Self- Sufficiency include job training , financial
management, and education .
The increasing demand for services in the community is indicative of the growing
need to assist those persons and families who are living in poverty, or who are at
risk of becoming impoverished .
70
Five-Year Strategic Plan
MERE
Non - Homeless Special Needs ( 91 . 205 [ d ] and 91 . 210 [ d ] )
Analysis ( including HOPWA) .
Five-Year Non - Homeless Special Needs Response :
1 . & 2 . Non= Homeless Special Needs Populations and Priorities
Elderly/ Frail Elderly
The elderly population in Fort Collins is generally thought of as those persons
between the ages of 65 and 74, while the frail elderly are those persons who are 75
or older. Of the frail elderly, many are women who are in poor health and these
individuals are at higher risk . Most local programs and services do not distinguish
between the elderly or frail elderly, but use a specific age range to define those
served . A Strengths and Needs Assessment of Older Adults was conducted for
Larimer County in 2004 . This assessment showed the following problems faced by
Larimer County seniors , as well as their rate of incidence :
Physical health ( 39% )
Cost of medications ( 29% )
Financial problems ( 20% )
• Depression ( 19 % )
Being financially exploited ( 8 %)
Being a caregiver ( 8 % )
• Having inadequate transportation ( 7% )
• Being a victim of a crime ( 5 % )
• Having enough food to eat ( 5 % )
• Having housing suited to their needs (4 % )
• Being physically or emotionally abused ( 3 % )
This information was collected from 375 surveys that were completed by Larimer
County residents . At the time this study was conducted , there were 1 , 107 seniors
living below the poverty level in Larimer County . As of the 2006- 2008 American
Community Survey, seniors (over the age of 64 ) living below poverty were estimated
at 6 . 2% of the senior population .
Persons with Severe Mental Illness
The Larimer County Compass estimates that there are over 15 , 000 adult residents in
Larlmer County that may need , but are not using , mental health services . The
Larimer County Detention Center had an average of 469 persons detained monthly
during 2009 , many of whom suffer from mental illness . The recidivism rate for the
Detention Center has been about 60 % . Persons with a mental illness have a
recidivism rate of 56 % and persons with a substance abuse disorder have a
recidivism rate of 69 % . When individuals have both a substance abuse disorder and
a mental illness , the recidivism rate jumps up to 81 % . The housing and treatment
continuum for these individuals typically begins at an emergency shelter (The
Mission or Open Door Mission ) , a temporary safe haven . The journey then continues
to transitional housing for a maximum of two years, followed by supported housing .
71
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Ultimately , and ideally, the path results in permanent housing . Supportive services
must be provided throughout this journey .
Alternative treatment programs have been created to keep repeat offenders with
mental illnesses ( who often also have a substance abuse disorder) out of jail . The
AIIM Program (Alternatives to Incarceration for Individuals with Mental Health
needs ) was developed as a joint venture among the Larimer Center for Mental
Health , Larimer County Community Corrections, the Sheriff's Office, and the
Probation Department . This program offers an alternative to incarceration for repeat
offenders who have mental health issues related to their crimes . The program
reduces jail bed days , as well as the number of persons in the probation , courts, and
jail systems and as a result, is less costly . Another program , the Re - Entry Program ,
is for repeat offenders with mental illness and substance abuse issues, and is also
intended to reduce jail bed days and overcrowding at the jail . This program includes
residential , transitional residential , and community treatment over 180 days . The
Re - Entry Program has over 100 participants in a program designed to accommodate
36 persons .
The need for mental health services in Larimer County and Fort Collins continues to
increase and affects many sectors of the community . In 2009 , the Larimer Center
for Mental Health served over 3 , 300 clients : 2, 310 clients with mental health
services, and 1 , 016 substance abuse clients .
The priority needs for mental health and substance abuse services include :
• Housing with intensive case management .
• Integrated treatment for persons with mental illness , as well as substance
abuse .
• " Wraparound " services for children and youth .
• Coordination among agencies for those who are frequent users of the
response system .
• Local detox services .
• Local acute treatment services .
• An adequate capacity of community- based mental health services (to help
decrease the number of people with mental illness in the Detention Center) .
• Transitional housing and supportive services .
Cross-sharing of information among agencies ( potential for privacy issues) .
• Increased capacity for all levels of community- based mental health services
( particularly for those not qualifying for Medicaid , those with long - term
therapy needs, and those with limited or no insurance for mental health
services ) .
• Increased access to comprehensive mental health evaluations .
Alcohol and / or Other Addictions
There is a critical need for a detox or residential treatment facility for substance
abuse, and there is a need for an Acute Treatment Facility (ATU ) in Larimer County
to assist persons who experience a mental health crisis . An estimated 3 , 600 persons
in the Criminal Justice System in Larimer County have a mental illness and/or
substance abuse disorder, and could benefit from inpatient treatment . However, the
only detox facility available in Northern Colorado is the Island Grove Regional
Treatment Center in Greeley . The cost to house a person at the Detention Center is
estimated by Larimer County to be $ 104 per day . A center combining
72
Five -Year Strategic Plan
detox/ residential treatment for substance abuse and an Acute Treatment Unit for
persons in a mental health crisis is needed to serve citizens of Fort Collins . An
estimated $ 7 . 5 million would be needed to construct such a facility .
Persons with Developmental Disabilities or Physical Disabilities
Housing has long been a key issue for those with disabilities . If a person is unable to
live alone , the primary options are . being housed with family, in group homes, in
apartments that provide some level of support, or in host homes . Nursing home
living has been a last resort, if no other options are available . In many cases,
however, the level of service provided in a nursing home is not needed . Particularly
for younger persons with disabilities , living in a traditional nursing home with frail ,
elderly persons is not desirable . The completion of the Harmony Road Apartments
by Accessible Space was a welcome addition of 22 housing units specifically for
persons with disabilities . These units were opened in August 2009 and were filled
soon after opening . When openings occur, they are filled quickly . The current
waiting list has about ten persons on it .
For persons who are able to live alone , it is common to have a difficult time finding
housing that is affordable and accessible . Public housing and other HUD -subsidized
housing developments for seniors also allow persons with disabilities (who are not
seniors) to live there . This may result in lifestyle issues among residents . Also, it is
very difficult to find housing that is fully wheelchair accessible , particularly units that
have roll - in showers . Several of the individuals living at the Harmony Road
Apartments moved there from a nursing home, providing them with a more desirable
and more independent living situation .
In 2009 , Disabled Resource Services served over 500 clients, many of whom were
seeking assistance with housing . There is a severe shortage of housing units that are
fully accessible , and have roll - in showers, to persons who are wheelchair- bound .
The Fort Collins Housing Authority waiting list at the end of 2009 showed 408
households waiting for Public Housing and 349 households waiting for Project- Based
Section 8 accessible housing . All 50 households on the Section 8 ( non - Project-
Based ) waiting list, which has since been closed , include households with a person
with disabilities .
Public Housing Residents
At the end of 2009 , the Fort Collins Housing Authority Waiting List had 1 , 510
households on it for Public Housing . The average waiting period can range from
months to several years , depending on the size of unit and whether an accessible
unit is needed or not .
Housing and Supportive Services Needs
There are several local housing developments that provide affordable housing
specifically to seniors , either through rent subsidies or reduced rents . These units
typically have a waiting list that could take a person or household months , or even
up to one year, to reach the top of the waiting list . These developments include DMA
Plaza , Oakbrook I and II , Sanctuary Apartments, Reflections Senior Apartments, The
Residence at Oakridge, and Woodbridge Senior Apartments, and account for over
530 affordable units for the elderly . Most have waiting lists, and unit turnover does
73
Five-Year Strategic Plan
not occur very frequently . Some of the units may be occupied by younger persons
who have disabilities .
Another area where seniors or the elderly need assistance is with in - home support .
This support includes help with basic living tasks, as well as repair work, housework,
yard work, and snow shoveling . The Handyman Program of Volunteers of America
provides assistance for many of these basic tasks . The Rehabilitation and Visiting
Nurse Association ( RVNA) provides home health care so older residents can remain
in their own homes as long as possible . The baby boomer generation is reaching its
senior years , and because of this large population , will create significant demand for
elder care services . While many older adults would prefer to remain in their own
homes as they age, this will necessitate the need for services that will assist them in
"aging in place" . These services include housekeeping , meal preparation , personal
care , maintenance of their property, and transportation . In many cases , housing
units will require modification in order for some to stay in their own home . The
Commission on Disabilities is promoting the Practical Housing for All ( PHA) program ,
which, while intended to assist persons with disabilities, would also help address and
avoid future accessibility issues for aging seniors .
A new program , known as the Larimer County Special Needs Population Registry, is a
collaboration of seven local agencies and the Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland . This
program allows individuals or family members to register persons who may need
assistance to evacuate their residence , in times of emergencies .
Persons with HIV/AIDS and Their Families
The Northern Colorado AIDS Project ( NCAP ) staff estimates that an additional ten to
twenty of its clients need housing . The key issues for housing are affordability and
accessibility, and roommates are typically limited to other NCAP clients . Depending
on the status of their health and treatment, NCAP clients may be able to work, while
others who are unable to work must rely on family or public assistance .
In addition to addressing the need for affordable and accessible housing , persons
with HIV/AIDS may face discrimination in their search for housing . Legal assistance
is available through NCAP and Colorado Legal Services . Nursing homes are often the
only option for those who can 't live independently . There are no HIV/AIDS - specific
housing units in Fort Collins .
NCAP administers ten Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers , five of which are currently
being used by Fort Collins clients . There are currently 13 persons on the waiting list
for a housing voucher. NCAP hopes to increase the number of persons served
through housing case management, and work collaboratively with area housing
authorities to increase the number of NCAP clients who receive permanent housing
opportunities .

5 . Existing Facilities and Services
Elderly/ Frail Elderly
There are seven housing developments that provide affordable housing units for the
elderly or frail elderly . These locations are the DMA Plaza , Oakbrook I and II,
Reflections Senior Apartments, The Residence at Oakridge , Sanctuary Apartments,
and Woodbridge Senior Apartments. These developments account for over 500
affordable units for seniors . In some cases, younger persons with disabilities may
reside in these units . There are 237 Housing Authority units occupied by elderly
households, and about another 200 elderly households on Housing Authority waiting
lists . Services for seniors are provided by the Larimer County Area Office on Aging ;
Volunteers of America ( food delivery to homebound seniors, RSVP, Handyman
Program ) ; Meals on Wheels ; Aging Center of the Rockies ( mental health services) ;
Elderhaus ; Catholic Charities (case management) ; and the Fort Collins Senior
Center ( recreation, classes) .
Persons with Developmental Disabilities or Physical Disabilities
Disabled Resource Services ( DRS ) serves as the Center for Independent Living for
Fort Collins and Larimer County . The majority of DRS clients have very low incomes .
DRS administers 15 housing vouchers and provides case management for more than
500 clients annually . Foothills Gateway provides vocational training , work, activity,
residential , and supportive living services for adults . Their consumers' incomes
range from Social Security Disability Income ( SSDI) payment ( $ 674 per month , or
$8, 088 annually) to earned income for those who are able to work and have a job .
The waiting lists for services at Foothills Gateway now exceed the number of persons
receiving services .
Financial support for persons with disabilities comes from Social Security Income
( SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI ) payments . Aid to Needy Disabled
(AND ) provides temporary assistance . The current maximum SSI payment is $ 674
or $8 , 088 annually . SSDI is for persons who previously worked but as a result of
their disabilities, are unable to work. The SSDI amount varies, based on the
person 's former income earned and number of quarters worked .
Most people with disabilities rely on rental subsidies to pay for their housing .
Housing vouchers are available to persons with disabilities , and together include 269
vouchers supplied by Disabled Resource Services, Foothills Gateway , and the Larimer
Center for Mental Health ( for persons with mental illness) . Waiting lists for these
vouchers are prevalent, and can take from months up to a year or longer to receive
a voucher . There are currently 463 households living in Housing Authority units that
include a person with disabilities .
At- Risk/ Endangered Teens and Young Adults
There are a number of organizations that provide facilities and services for at- risk
teens and young adults . The Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County has recreational
and educational services for teens up to age 18 . The Club is located in northwest
Fort Collins, near Lincoln Middle School . The Youth Activity Center provided similar
services at a location near the Foothills Fashion Mall . However, the Center is no
longer open to the public, and is now used for special programs or events . B . A . S . E .
75
Five-Year Strategic Plan
Camp provides before - and after- school programming at area schools , as well as
care during breaks and summers .
Turning Point and the Center for Family Outreach provide counseling for substance
abuse for teens and young adults , while Partners Mentoring Youth provides
mentoring programs . CASA and Harmony House provide supervised visitations and
exchanges , as well as advocacy for children and teens . Matthews House assists
teens who are transitioning to living on their own . Realities for Children provides
funding for a number of local agencies and organizations that support children and
teens , while Lutheran Family Services works with children and foster families .
In local middle schools ( Grades 6- 8 ) , " at- risk" students, including those who are
failing or in danger of failing , account for about 25 students per school . Unless these
students are already involved in the court system , services to assist them with such
things as anger management, motivation , social skills, or goal - setting are very
difficult and costly to find . Some are from single- parent families, or from families
where substance abuse is occurring , and issues of unemployment or a lack of
education may create an even greater level of instability at home . A key to
achieving success with at- risk students is to first address those issues occurring in
their home life , so that a more stable support system can be developed . That
framework then allows students to focus on their education .
Victims of Domestic Violence
Crossroads Safehouse provides emergency shelter and services to victims of
domestic violence at a confidential safehouse location . In 2009 , more than 8 , 500
nights of shelter were provided to 220 adults and their children . The current shelter
has 29 beds in 13 bedrooms . During 2009, nearly 140 adults and children were
turned away due to a lack of space in the shelter. A larger shelter is being sought to
accommodate the growing number of domestic violence victims . Between 2008 and
2009 , the number of residents at the Safehouse increased by 32 . 5 % , and nights of
shelter increased by more than 35 % . Crossroads also provides 25 transitional
housing units throughout Fort Collins to house clients who have moved from the
Safehouse .
Persons with Severe Mental Illness, Alcohol and / or Other Drug Addiction
The Larimer Center for Mental Health ( LCMH ) provides housing , as well as case
management, medical services, therapy, and vocational counseling for persons with
mental illness and/or substance abuse disorders . LCMH serves more than 3, 300
clients annually . The Center administers : 115 Section 8 vouchers through the
Colorado Supportive Housing and Homeless Program ; 12 Shelter Plus Care vouchers
through the Supportive Housing and Homeless Program ; an 8 - bed home and a house
that can accommodate five to six persons . These housing units are all intended to
be transitional housing solutions , but clients typically stay longer since they cannot
find other affordable housing units . As a result, there is a backlog of persons waiting
for the transitional units .
Persons with HIV/ AIDS and Their Families
The Northern Colorado AIDS Project ( NCAP) has operated since the late 1980s in
response to the unmet needs of persons and their families, who are directly affected
by HIV/AIDS . NCAP provides emergency assistance when funds are available . NCAP
76

between ten and twenty additional clients in transitional housing or in group homes .
6 . Tenant- Based Rental Assistance
The City of Fort Collins amended its Consolidated Plan in 2006 to include a program
of Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) . Since that time, the Fort Collins Housing
Authority has applied for and received HOME investment Partnership funding for a
program of rent and security deposit assistance . Most recently, the TBRA program
has been used to support the housing component of a cooperative community effort
to house and assist dually- diagnosed homeless individuals.

SUMMARY OF COMMENTS RECEIVED BY E- MAIL
From : Cheryl Distaso, Center for Justice, Peace and Environment
Good Afternoon !
I read through the very extensive Consolidated Plan . Admittedly I didn't
have time to read the entire 86 page document as carefully as I would have
liked, but I did have some initial thoughts/questions that I would like to
share with you :
1) It's a very comprehensive plan. It is obvious that an incredible amount
of work went into it.
2) I didn't notice any mention of displacement, which is something that I
think the city is going to be facing in increasing proportions as we
increase activity in urban renewal projects. I'm speaking specifically about
low income housing units, such as trailer parks, that are being torn down
for other development. Is it outside of the parameters of this document to
address that concern?
3) It seems like the proportion of low income families is rather low in the
surveys you received . I wonder if that number would be better represented if
you surveyed people at places that served families, such as the Family
Center.
4) Are you satisfied with the number of surveys returned and the number of
on-line surveys that were completed?
5) There is an extensive list of agencies that are listed as
"consultations, " and I'm curious about what is involved in that consultation
process.
Thanks so much !

federal CDBG funds and the City's Human Services Program (HSP) monies for community development and affordable
housing activities in our community. The current recommendations for funding are:

All proposals were considered eligible for funding, and were subject to criteria ranking. The amount of funding requests far
exceeded the amount of available dollars in the human services (PS) category. Since the Competitive Process was
initiated a decade ago, this is the first cycle where not one agency received a recommendation for the full funding amount
requested. The two agencies who did not receive a recommendation for any funding submitted proposals for expanded or
new services.
The second project is the City's Five-Year Strategic Plan (Consolidated Plan), a cornerstone document required by the
U .S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), since the City of Fort Collins is the recipient of HUD funding
dollars. The Plan provides a current snapshot of what's happening with affordable housing and community development
in our city, assesses current needs and service gaps , and sets priorities for action for the next five years.
The Public Comment period for both these projects runs from April 19 — May 18 , 2010. Persons with questions or
comments may contact the City's Advance Planning Department by: calling 970-221 -6758; faxing 970-224-6111 ; writing
the Advance Planning Department, City of Fort Collins, PO Box 580, Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 ; or by e-mailing:
sthomasQ,fcgov.com (Competitive Process) or ismith0,fcgov.com (Strategic Plan). Citizens may also arrange to
personally visit to express their views.
The Draft Consolidated Plan document is available for viewing at: www.fcciov.com/affordablehousing. Review copies are
also available at all three branches of the Fort Collins Library.
City Council will take final action on both projects on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 , 6:00 p.m ., Council Chambers, 300 W.
Laporte Ave. , Fort Collins, CO. That meeting is also considered a Public Hearing for these projects,
The City of Fort Collins will make reasonable accommodations for access to City services, programs and activities, and
will make special communication arrangements for persons with disabilities. Please call 970-221 -6758 for assistance.
