BACKGROUND: Fayetteville has been a CDBG Entitlement City since 1975. Funding is based on the HUD formula allocation process that takes into account such factors as population, percent of low/moderate income persons, and number of housing units. This formula allocation process awards CDBG funding to the City of Fayetteville. Each year, the Community Resources Department submits an Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) outlining the proposed uses of CDBG funding. The Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board voted at the September 21, 2022 meeting and recommended the following nonprofit subrecipients be included in the 2023 Action Plan: CASA of NWA, NWA CoC, Partners for Better Housing, and WelcomeHealth. On April 4, 2023 City Council voted for the City to become a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) and accept HOME funds. If HUD approves the 2023 Action Plan, a CDBG Agreement and HOME Agreement will be issued by HUD. These agreements must be executed, returned to the HUD Field Office in Little Rock, and then sent to HUD in Washington D.C. for the release of funds. DISCUSSION: Grant amounts vary each year based upon the funding levels authorized by Congress through the annual federal budget process. The award for 2023 is CDBG $ $764,642 and HOME $512,642. The grant funding detail submitted to HUD in the 2023 Action Plan is as follows: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) ADMINISTRATION $ 118,885 HOUSING $ 478,483 REDEVELOPMENT $ 92,174 PUBLIC SERVICES $ 75,000 CASA of NWA $ 10,000 NWA CoC $ 23,800 Mailing address: 113 W.

Introduction The Annual Action Plan (AAP) is one of the requirements for the City of Fayetteville to receive funds through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for entitlement cities and for the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) that the City was awarded in GY2023. This AAP was developed from the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) needs assessment for low - and moderate -income residents. While the needs identified in the Con Plan exceed the funding available to address all of them; the City of Fayetteville addresses the identified needs as fully as possible. The 2023 AAP will detail how the City of Fayetteville plans to address the identified needs during the current grant year. The 2023 AAP includes HOME funds awarded in GY2023 and included in the amended 5-Year ConPlan. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. The 2021-2025 ConPlan documents the needs assessment, market analysis, consultation with community stake holders, and past performance that were all utilized to develop the priority needs for the City of Fayetteville. The priority needs for CDBG are housing, redevelopment, public services, and public facilities. Housing will focus on maintaining the affordable housing stock through rehabilitation and repair of LMI owner - occupied homes. Redevelopment provides code compliance assistance for LMI homeowners who are financially and/or physically unable to correct code violations. Public services and public facilities are funded through a competitive grant process with the Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board recommending which projects will be included in the annual action plan if requests exceed available funding. The priority needs for the HOME funds will be to expand the availability of affordable housing. Annual Action Plan 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 3. Evaluation of past performance This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects. Each year, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD, reporting on the activities that were funded with CDBG, and beginning with 2023 HOME, the amount spent, and the beneficiaries assisted. The City submits the required reports annually and HUD has accepted the reports each year. In addition to meeting HUD requirements, the CAPER provides the City with an opportunity to review past performance and utilize the information as a component of determining future needs. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan. The City of Fayetteville CDBG and HOME activities are designed and carried out based on local needs. Through public meetings, consultation with area public and non-profit service agencies, informal discussion with citizens, studies, city staff and special purpose committees; input from community stakeholders is sought and integrated into designating action priorities. In addition, a Community Development Outreach Quarterly publication serves to inform the community of current and future program projects and services. The Outreach Quarterly is distributed electronically to those who sign up. We realize that even in our connected age not everyone has access to the internet; therefore, the Outreach Quarterly is also distributed in printed form to more than 50 locations throughout our community. The Outreach Quarterly also provides the community with program contact information so that community members can get more information as well as provide feedback/input. We host and participate in community events to both provide information about the programs we offer and to receive input from citizens regarding our programs and community needs.

Annual Action Plan 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-10 Consultation — 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(I) Introduction The City of Fayetteville strives to connect with all entities in our community; especially those that work with the LMI population. Community Resources recognizes that it takes input from throughout the community to identify community needs and determine areas where services can be enhanced. While the City currently uses a variety of methods to reach out to the community, such as the outreach quarterly, community events, outreach activities, participation in area boards/committees, etc.; we also continue to explore new ways of increasing participation with individuals, organizations, and businesses. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)) The City of Fayetteville Community Resources Department uses a variety of methods/activities to enhance coordination. Over the past few years some of these activities were limited and/or paused due to COVID-19 but as the restrictions continue to be lifted activity levels are moving close to pre- COVID levels. Community Resources organizes community events throughout the year to both provide information about our programs and receive feedback from the community. One example is the annual CDBG in the Park event which brings together community members, local agencies and the City's CDBG programs. We encourage local service providers to participate in these events, as they are free of charge to them and thus an effective way to reach out to the community. Community Resources also participates in community events put on by other organizations. Community events serve multiple purposes including; enhancing coordination between agencies, getting information out to the community, and providing the community opportunities to ask questions and provide input on community needs. All Community Resources staff and members of the Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board work to engage with the community and raise awareness of our programs. We have recently designated a staff member as a Community Ambassador who in addition to their other duties seeks out opportunities weekly to attend events, meetings, etc. of local groups to provide information about our programs and share ways they can support our efforts. Outreach presentations are another way to enhance coordination and Community Resources does presentations at a variety of organizations and is always looking for new locations to expand to. We do presentations to organization staff, clientele, or both; depending upon the needs of the organization. These presentations ensure that local organizations and/or the organization's clients know the resources Annual Action Plan 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) that are offered through CDBG and provide an opportunity for organizations/individuals to share what their needs are. The subrecipient grant process brings many of the local service providers to the table through the grant workshop and subsequent grant application process. Discussion at the grant workshop and the grant applications provide information on what the current needs of various providers in the community are. Technical assistance is provided throughout the year to current and potential subrecipients and is another method of finding out what the needs of the community are. The HOME coordination efforts will be developed as part of program implementation. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The City of Fayetteville is an active member of the Northwest Arkansas Continuum of Care (NWA CoC). We attend CoC board meetings, membership meetings, and participate with the other members in local efforts address the needs of the homeless and potential homeless in our community and Northwest Arkansas as a whole. We participate in the CoC led annual Point In Time and Homeless Inventory counts. The NWA CoC is the lead agency for the NWA application for HUD Continuum of Care funds which the City of Fayetteville receives for the Hearth Program. The Hearth Program provides Permanent Supportive Housing to the homeless and chronically homeless in Fayetteville. We also consult with the CoC and member agencies whenever requested to address specific community needs. Community Resources staff participate in the weekly CoC Case Conferencing meetings and monthly Coordinated Entry meetings. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Fayetteville provides input to the NWA Continuum of Care (CoQ at the CoC meetings. We attend board meetings, membership meetings, and participate in subcommittees where decisions are made regarding the development and implementation of performance standards, policies and procedures, and other areas related to addressing the needs of homeless persons in NWA. We also participate in the development of the NWA CoC strategic plan. 2.

Table 3 — Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Annual Action Plan 22 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Narrative (optional) We work with all departments/divisions of the City; however, there are three that work closely with us in regard to the Consolidated Plan. The Fayetteville Police Department, Fayetteville Fire Department and the Planning Division are three city areas that are out in the community and interacting with citizens on a regular basis allowing them to see and hear needs of the community. The information that they provide is taken into account when developing the Consolidated Plan. At the state level we work closely with our HUD Little Rock Field Office. We utilize the expertise and technical assistance available as needed. The good relationship we have with the Field Office led to the City taking on the Fayetteville SNAPS grants in 2016 when a local non- profit determined that they were no longer able to do so. We are using CDBG as match for the SNAPS funds that are being utilized to provide housing to homeless and chronically homeless in Fayetteville.

The Outreach Quarterly provides the community with program contact information so they can provide feedback/input. We implement and participate in community events to both provide information about the programs we offer and to receive input from citizens about our programs and community needs.

The addition of HOME funds in 2023 will expand the City's efforts to address affordable housing as the HOME program is developed and implemented. One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non -Homeless 13 Special -Needs 0 Total 13 Table 9 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 0 The Production of New Units 3 Rehab of Existing Units 10 Acquisition of Existing Units 0 Total 13 Table 10 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion The one-year goals for households (10) to be provided housing rehabilitation/repair was determined by the ConPlan and looking at prior years' project numbers. We anticipate supporting 3 households with HOME funds through the production of new units working with a CHDO. However, since this is a new program the possibility exists that the support type could change as the actual program is developed. Annual Action Plan 2023 W. OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Annual Action Plan 2023 47 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h) Introduction The Fayetteville Housing Authority is the public housing provider in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Housing Authority has the following programs: Public Housing, Project Based Rental Assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8), and HUD/VASH. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City of Fayetteville Annual Plan does not have actions specific to public housing in GY2023. The actions planned by the Fayetteville Housing Authority are delineated in the Public Housing sections of the ConPlan. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The City of Fayetteville CDBG is not directly involved with these activities; however, through consultation with the Fayetteville Housing Authority and access to their 5-year plan we are aware of activities designed to increase resident involvement. Hillcrest Tower (elderly and disabled) has an active Resident Council that meets regularly. CDBG staff does periodic presentations to this council to provide information about programs we provide and to give residents an opportunity to share information/thoughts/needs with us. The two family complexes (Willow Heights and Lewis Plaza) have implemented neighborhood watch programs in cooperation with the Fayetteville Police Department which will increase resident involvement in keeping their complexes safe. FHA also plans to conduct regular "Love Where You Live" community meetings to receive feedback from residents of Willow Heights and Lewis Plaza. The FHA 5-year plan indicates they have a goal to implement homeownership programs. The Partners for Better Housing subrecipient project has public housing participants among the groups they plan to reach out to regarding homeownership. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The Fayetteville Housing Authority is not designated as troubled. Discussion The Fayetteville Housing Authority is an important component of meeting the housing needs of Fayetteville. The City of Fayetteville will continue to support and work with the Fayetteville Housing Authority, including FHA having the option to apply for assistance through the competitive Subrecipient Grant Application process. Annual Action Plan 2023 W. OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction The City of Fayetteville recognizes the need for homeless and other special needs activities in our community. Participation in the NWA Continuum of Care, consultation/partnership with local service providers, and hosting/participation in community events keep us apprised of the needs in our community. The Subrecipient Grant Program and the provision of staff for the Hearth Program are the primary ways the City addresses homeless and other special needs activities with CDBG funds. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City's active participation in the NWA Continuum of Care (membership, board, committees, coordinated entry, and case conferencing) and ongoing consultation/partnership with local service providers is our primary method of reaching out to homeless persons and assessing their needs. Hosting and participating in community events is another method utilized to reach the homeless. For example, our annual CDBG in the Park event is widely attended by homeless persons, who in addition to receiving lunch, have an opportunity to learn more about our programs and programs offered by other organizations/agencies in our community. When Fayetteville Animal Services offers vaccination/microchip clinics for the homeless, Community Resources staff attends to provide information about Ranger's Pantry Pet Food Bank. These community events and activities also provide homeless persons the opportunity to share with us what their needs are. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Subrecipient Grant Program which provides funds for public services and public facilities has been the primary method that the City has to address emergency and transitional housing needs in our community using CDBG funds. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The Subrecipient Grant Program which provides funds for public services and public facilities is one method that the City has to help homeless persons. In the 2023 Action Plan the internal SAFE Program Annual Action Plan 2023 .• OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) and the NWA CoC subrecipient project will provide assistance to the unsheltered community during periods of extreme (heat or cold) weather. The City of Fayetteville will, during the period of this action plan, help homeless persons make the transition to permanent supportive housing through the provision of CDBG funded staff to provide oversight and case management for the City of Fayetteville Hearth Program. In addition, the City partners with local service providers and participates in the NWA Continuum of Care to address the issues homeless persons face. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The Subrecipient Grant Program, which provides funds for public services and public facilities, is the method that the City has to help low-income individuals and families receive assistance from other agencies. This action plan includes funding for programming that will address LMI youth needs in our community. The youth centered program will be offered by CASA of NWA (advocacy for abused and neglected children). Uninsured and underinsured individuals will be able to receive medical/dental services from WelcomeHealth. In addition, the City partners with local service providers and participates in the NWA Continuum of Care to address the issues those at risk of homelessness face. Discussion The City of Fayetteville through the processes described throughout the ConPlan strives to identify and provide support for those in our community who need it most. Funding levels do not allow all of the organizations/agencies that address homeless and special needs activities to receive support in a given year, we utilize the assessment tools available to us to determine the best projects to implement annually. Annual Action Plan 2023 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j) Introduction: In February of 2016 an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) was completed by J-Quad Planning Group, LLC for the City of Fayetteville. A public policy review was a component of the Al. The Al determined that the City of Fayetteville's land development codes and zoning regulations address affordable housing and offer the provision of making allowances through the code to allow the construction of a variety of types of housing including single family and multifamily housing. Regulations allow unrelated persons to reside in a single-family structure and have adequate provisions for group homes and special needs populations. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The Al did not identify any public policy barriers to affordable housing. Discussion: Community Resources is cognizant of the importance of being aware of and responding to any proposed public policy changes that could create a barrier to affordable housing. Annual Action Plan 2023 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: The areas listed below are explored in greater detail in other sections of the Con Plan, this section broadly describes the actions planned to address the various areas. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Fayetteville will continue to consult with local organizations/agencies, seek public input, and participate in the NWA Continuum of Care to stay aware of the needs of the community, identify obstacles to meeting underserved needs and provide assistance in addressing them. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Maintaining the affordable housing stock is a priority for the City of Fayetteville. This is accomplished through housing rehabilitation/repair to LMI owner -occupied homes. Emphasis is placed on bringing homes into compliance with State and City Codes, improving energy efficiency, alleviating deferred maintenance conditions, providing safety devices, and when needed addressing lead -based paint issues. The City's development of a plan for the HOME funds received in 2023 will further the City's efforts to foster affordable housing. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards All housing rehabilitation/repair projects the City does adhere to HUD's lead -based paint regulations. Lead -based paint testing is done as required, determined by the age of the home and type/cost of work being performed. When lead -based paint is found lead -based paint hazards are remediated as appropriate according to the LBP regulations. In all rehabilitation projects, lead safe work practices are used at all times when lead is present. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City of Fayetteville partners with local agencies and participates in the NWA Continuum of Care in local efforts to develop goals, programs and policies for reducing the number of poverty -level families. The City of Fayetteville allocates CDBG funds to activities that assist poverty level families in Fayetteville. Specific activities are identified in each year's Action Plan. Examples of activities we have funded that assist poverty level families include the City's transportation program for elderly/disabled LMI individuals and public service activities that support abused children, medical/dental needs, and Annual Action Plan 2023 52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) housing. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The Community Resources Department (CR) of the City of Fayetteville oversees the CDBG programming for our community. CR administers the internal housing, redevelopment, transportation, and SAFE programs that are funded through CDBG. CR also administers and monitors the CDBG funds allocated to public services and public facilities in our community. We ensure that internal and external programs follow HUD guidelines and benefit the LMI population. The City has not identified any gaps in the institutional delivery system. The City of Fayetteville will continue to consult with local organizations/agencies, seek public input, and participate in the NWA Continuum of Care to stay aware of the needs of the community and provide assistance in addressing them. The Subrecipient Grant Program will remain the primary way that we will provide assistance to organizations/agencies in the community that benefit LMI Fayetteville residents. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City of Fayetteville will continue to partner and consult with local organizations/agencies, seek public input, and participate in the NWA Continuum of Care to stay aware of the needs of the community and provide assistance in addressing them. Discussion: The City recognizes the importance of collaboration/partnership as well as combining the information available from others in our community with the information we have internally to develop actions that will benefit Fayetteville.

Mountain Street, 72701 ATTN: Yolanda Fields, Community Resources Director/Equity Officer RE- GY2023 Pl HOME Funding Ms. Fields & Staff, Community Development Corporation of Bentonville/Bella Vista (soon dba - "Community Development NWA") is a nonprofit housing development company committed to developing, preserving, and supporting quality, affordable housing and creating stable, mixed -income communities throughout NW Arkansas. At present, the company operates over 300 units of affordable and attainably pnced housing in Benton County. We have projects in development in Washington County. For the 2023 grant year {GY2023), the City of Fayetteville will begin recenring HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funding as a participating jurisdiction. The 2023 HOME funding budget is $512,642, Many of our projects include public funding sources like HOME funds. We have found HOME to be a valuable source of gap funding for affordable and mixed -income multifamily rental projects. We have also used HOME to fund a homeownership project and to provide tenant based rental assistance. We support staff and leaders on their initiative in securing funds at the local level and are eager to share expertise on how the funding can help deliver more affordable housing in Fayetteville Casey Kleinhenz, CDC Executive Director cklelnhen z@cdcbentonville com 479-273-7344 ext. 202 Annual Action Plan 2023 71 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Grantee SF-424's and Certification(s) OMB W t wr 4040-0DW l Expeetion Date 11-300025 Application for Federal Assistance SF-424 t.
