DATE: March 19,2003
TO: The Mayor and Council
FROM: Hugh Earnest 410
Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2003 Funding Agreement
(Partial Funding)
Background
Fayetteville has been a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement City since
1975. The grants are based on a formula allocation that takes into account such factors as
population, percent of low/moderate income persons and the number of housing units. Each year
the Community Resources Division submits an annual "Action Plan" and funding request to the
U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG funding. The plan is
published for a 30 day public comment period and submitted to HUD for approval.
The City of Fayetteville's Consolidated Action Plan (CP) has been approved for fiscal 2003.
Grant amounts vary each year dependent on funding levels authorized by congress through the
annual federal budget process. This year that budget process will be delayed until late May of this
year. At this time the City of Fayetteville CDBG program has been approved for a partial grant
funding amount of $217,000.00. These funds will be utilized for grant administration and
program costs related to the llousing Rehabilitation, Emergency Repair and Taxicab Programs.
We have attached a copy of the current city Consolidated Plan (CP) that lists the programs
submitted by the city for funding that have now been approved for this fiscal year. That is, of
course, dependent on a later release of federal funds.
Current Status
The council is being asked to approve the grant agreement for partial funding for the 2003 grant
year
Recommendation
The staff recommends approval of this resolution.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Fayetteville is a participant in the Conunumty Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Entitlement Cities Program and is awarded funds annually to carry out eligible activities in
pursuit of these statutory goals:
• Provide Decent housing - - which includes.
assisting homeless persons obtain affordable housing; assisting persons at risk of becoming
homeless; retention of affordable housing stock; increase the availability of affordable permanent
housing in standard condition to low-income and moderate -income families, particularly to
members of disadvantaged minorities without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, familial status, or disability; increasing the supply of supportive housing
which includes structural features and services to enable persons with special needs (including
persons with HIV/ADDS) to live in dignity and independence; and providing affordable housing
that is accessible to job opportunities.
• Provide a suitable living environment - - which includes:
improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and
*private facilities and services; reducing the isolation of income groups within areas through
spatial deconcentration of housing opportunities for lower income persons and the revitalization
of deteriorating neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special historic,
architectural, or aesthetic value; and conservation of energy resources.
• Expand economic opportunities - - which includes:
job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization and expansion of small businesses
(including micro businesses); the provision of public services concerned with employment the
provision ofjobs to low-income persons living in areas affected by those programs and activities,
or jobs resulting from carrying out activities under programs covered by the plan; availability of
mortgage financing for low-income persons at reasonable rates using non-discriminatory lending
practices; access to capital and credit for development activities that promote the long-term
economic and social viability of the community; and empowerment and self-sufficiency for
low-income persons to reduce generational poverty in federally assisted housing and public
housing.
Community Development Focus in 2003
Public Access and Participation: CDBG 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 and resources holders is integrated to designate action pnorities.
One formal public hearing was held to present and discuss proposed CDBG activities for fiscal
year 2003. The meetings were well attended by non-profit agency representatives and the media
but citizen attendance was low. Conununity Development staff has been active in the
presentation of program information. Information was provided during National Conununity
Development Week. Conununity Development program information is presented at local agency
meetings on a regular basis. Program literature in Spanish was requested and received. City of
Fayetteville program information and forms have been translated into Spanish.
In accordance with Fayetteville's Citizen Participation Plan, the 2003 Consolidated Action Plan
is submitted for a 30 day citizen review period. Citizen comments on the plan are encouraged
and may be submitted to:
Yolanda Fields, Director
City of Fayetteville Comrntuuty Resource Division
113 West Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Citizen Comments: None
Housing Housing rehabilitation and housing issues are a primary focus of Community
Development activities. The City is committed to the development of programs which address
the need for housing for Low and Moderate Income (LMI) persons and families. In response to
prionty needs revealed during the development of the City's five year Consolidated Plan in
1999, the City has focused on developing of community partnerships with outstanding local
entities with expertise in specialized housing activities. This cooperation will further the
Attainable Housing effort in the City of Fayetteville.
Attainable housing has become a topic of great concern for this division. Housing costs in
Northwest Arkansas have Increase at a considerable rate throughout the past 10 years according
to the latest round of information from the 2000 Census. The cost of the median mortgage
payment in the City of Fayetteville remains the highest in Northwest Arkansas at $916, an
increase of 45 percent. It is the highest median mortgage payment of any city in Northwest
Arkansas and 24 percent higher than the state median of $737. The City of Fayetteville,
Community Development program will work on the development of a plan to bnng Attainable
housing to the City of Fayetteville. This office is working with the Northwest Arkansas Housing
Coalition (NAHC) and the committees of the organization to build a relationship with the local
Public Housing Office. The HUD provided Technical Assistance will be a very important
component in reaching the Attainable Housing goal.
Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing The city is in the process of updating its "Analysis
of Impediments to Fair Housing" (Al). CDBG Program regulations require recipient
jurisdictions to "affirmatively further fair housing," which flows from HUD's obligation under
Section 808 of the Fair Housing Act.
The Al is conceived as an effort to affirmatively further fair housing choice by identifying all
impediments to fair housing choice which presently exist in the community, and to develop
strategies and actions designed to reduce or eliminate the identified impediments. Further, the
process of developing the Al will foster the collaboration of stakeholders and resource providers
in the public, non-profit, and private sectors, thereby promoting relationship -building and
consensus on fair housing issues. The AI process will help describe a clearer picture of housing
conditions for LMI households in Fayetteville, and aid us in defining current and future housing
directions.
Public Services Utilization of CDBG funds for the provision of public services, particularly
those which serve LMI groups, has been, and continues to be a focus of the Community
Development Program. The Taxi Voucher program provides subsidized cab fare for our city's
elder citizens, allowing an inexpensive transportation choice for many who would not have
transportation available otherwise. This simple, cost effective program receives unwavering
support from those who use it to go shopping, to the doctor, post office, church, out to eat, or any
number of other destinations. The program is hugely successful in providing our elders
opportunity to participate in community life and to live independently.
Public Facilities - Community Needs CDBG has histoncally supported community services
facilities projects in Fayetteville. Through the last decade, CDBG dollars have assisted
construction, renovation or development of facilities for local non-profit organizations such as
Youthbridge, Children's House, Head Start, Fayetteville Free Health & Dental Clinic, YRCC, as
well as renovations and improvements to City parks, streets, sidewalks and other infrastructure.
