AGENDA ITEM # 3
DATE: December 10, 2001
DEPARTMENT: HOUSING AND CITIZEN SERVICES - TONY BERUMEN
TITLE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO,
COLORADO AUTHORIZING THE PUBLICATION OF THE
CITY OF PUEBLO'S PROGRAM YEAR 2002 ONE YEAR
ACTION PLAN LISTING THE RECOMMENDED CDBG AND
HOME HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS FOR THE CITY OF PUEBLO AS REQUIRED
UNDER THE FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN
SUBMITTED TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING
AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
ISSUE
The purpose of this agenda item is to present for City Council the recommendations for the
FY 2002 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership
funding and authorize the publication in the local newspaper. These recommendations are the
work of the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) and Staff.
RECOMMENDATION
Attachment A on the following page summaries the recommendations of the CAC review
group. After the CAC approved the recommendations, they were presented to the City
Manager for review. Staff worked with the Citizens' Advisory Committee to develop a
modification to the 2002 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process.
Specifically, Staff recommended that part of the applications requests for funding be targeted
by neighborhoods. This recommendation was made in an effort to better impact
neighborhood improvements as opposed to a "shotgun" approach, streamlines the CDBG
allocation processes, and increases the effectiveness and productivity of the program. CAC
supported this recommendation and voted to make the change in the 2002 process. Staff
recommends the Publication as presented as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Housing and Citizen Services administers the fund allocation process on
an annual basis. The funds available are from the federal government (HOME and CDBG).
The funding process includes providing technical assistance to potential housing developers,
notification of fund availability, collection and review of applications, and providing
assistance to a community based committee or the Citizens' Advisory Committee which
reviews the funding applications and makes funding recommendations on the awarding of
funds. This memo is the culmination of the annual fund round process. The funds allocated
through this process have generally been in the form of grants.
BACKGROUND- FUNDING PROGRAM
HOME: HOME is a federal program (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development)
administered through the Division of Housing and Citizen Services as part of its overall
funding program. The program has been in place for ten years and provides $900,000
annually for housing activities. The program emphasizes adding assisted housing units that
are affordable to households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income ($37,800 for a
four person household).
Coanmunity Development Block Grant (CDBG): CDBG is also a federal source of funding,
in existence since 1975. Funding may be used for a variety of housing and community
development activities, which benefit low - income people. Since 1979, approximately 15% of
each year's allocation, usually $250,000 to $300,000 a year, is spent on public services and
20% on administration. As with the HOME program, the target annual income range for
CDBG funds is up to 80% of the Area Median Income.
BACKGROUND - FUNDING REVIEW PROCESS
The process for allocating dollars was initiated in September 2001. Interested parties were
invited to submit an application and make public presentations to the Citizen Advisory
Committee at various public meetings within the city.
Staff provided technical assistance to applicants submitting proposals during the month of
September 2001. City Housing Division staff analyzed the proposals, evaluating financial
feasibility, organizational experience, and the capacity to develop and manage new units. The
proposals, along with the staff analysis, were forwarded to the CAC. The CAC is composed
of citizens that are representatives of the various neighborhoods of the city.
The Housing Division staff wishes to acknowledge both the time and the contributions in
terms of time, insight, and commitment to the process by the individual members.
The CAC review group convened in October and November to consider requests for funding.
On November 1, a final deliberation session was held, in which the CAC came to agreement
regarding the funding recommendations for this round.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City of Pueblo is expected to receive $1,900,000 in CDBG funds and HOME funds in the
amount of $900,000. Final amounts are not known pending Congressional approval.
