BACKGROUND
Fayetteville has been a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement city
since 1975. Funding is 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.
This process sets aside CDBG for the City of Fayetteville each year the Community
Resources Division submits an annual "Action Plan" outlining the proposed used for the
funds to the U.S Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG
funding. If the Action Plan meets HUD requirements an agreement is received. This
agreement must be executed, returned to the HUD field office in Little Rock then sent to
Washington D.C. for the release of funds.
Grant amounts vary each year dependent upon funding levels authorized by Congress
through the annual federal budget process. The estimated award for 2008 is $655,977.00
Grant funding detail:
Administration $130,249

introduction
This document serves as the City of Fayetteville's Consolidated Plan Submission of the 2008 One -Year
Action Plan for the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds. The Action
Plan describes how the City will address the priority needs and specific objectives identified in the Five -
Year strategy of the City of Fayetteville's 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan. The One -Year Action Plan is a
component of the Consolidated Plan that is updated annually to reflect resource allocation changes.
The planning process for the development of this One -Year Action Plan began on July 25, 2007, with
published notice providing notification that the City was accepting applications for 2008 CDBG program
funding. This notice of funding, in combination with the public hearing held on October 11, 2007, allowed
agencies and interested citizens the opportunity to express concerns and community needs. The public
hearing announcement is included in Appendix B of this document.
Following the application submission period, 17 funding requests were received and reviewed by staff and
the members of the selection committee. Applications were reviewed for compliance application require-
ments. Council adopted local community development objectives and consistency with the priorities and
objectives contained in the 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan. CDBG funded activities must qualify by meet-
ing one of the three national objectives: benefit low -and -moderate income individuals, prevent or eliminate
blight and slums or meet urgent community development that pose a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of the community. In addition, each application was assessed for project readiness,
financial leverage and other relevant concerns.
A summary of the proposed uses of CDBG funds recommended by staff was published in The Northwest
Arkansas Times on September 19 and September 23, 2007. This public notice marked the start of the
30 -day public comment period. In addition, the public notice advised the general public of three locations
that the proposed 2007 One -Year Action Plan was available for their review. The draft One -Year Action
Plan was then discussed at a public hearing held on October 11, 2007.

consolidpitagg
In order to receive its annual CDBG grant, the City of Fayetteville must develop and submit to the De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) its Consolidated Plan. This plan is the City's com-
prehensive planning document and application.
In the Consolidated Plan, the City identified its goals for CDBG programs, which also serve as the criteria
against which HUD will evaluate the City's performance in carrying out its goals. The Consolidated Plan
promotes a comprehensive approach to local decisions by requiring cities to pull together all local resi-
dents interested in community development to help identify the needs of the community and formulate
strategies for addressing those needs.
The concept behind the Consolidated Plan is to:
• Enable a community to view HUD programs not as isolated tools to solve narrow functional
problems, but rather as an invitation to embrace a comprehensive vision of housing and com-
munity development
• Create a comprehensive vision which includes affordable housing, fair housing, transportation,
economic development, community rehabilitation
• Enable communities to apply this comprehensive approach in helping the homeless in a con-
tinuum of care a comprehensive system for moving individuals and families from homeless to
permanent housing
• Improve program accountability and support results -oriented management by establishing clear
priority needs and goals; providing more timely and readable information on needs, goals, and
proposed projects to citizens; providing measurable indicators of progress; and reporting on
progress against these measures
• Facilitate citizen involvement and commitment in the planning process by increased community
outreach
• Partner with the local Public Housing Authority in comprehensive planning efforts to revitalize
distressed neighborhoods and help low-income residents
• Integrate efforts to identify and take measures to overcome impediments to fair housing, which
is an integral part of comprehensive planning efforts. The programs covered by the Consoli-
dated Plan all have in common the characteristic that expenditures must primarily benefit ex-
tremely -low (0 to 30 percent of median income), very low (31 percent to 50 percent of me
dian income), and low-income (51 percent to 80 percent of median income) persons and
page 2
households. In addition, they are intended to meet the following three federal statutory objectives:
PROVIDE DECENT HOUSING I which includes:
assisting homeless persons obtain affordable housing; assisting persons at risk of becoming home-
less; retention of affordable housing stock; increase the availability of affordable permanent hous-
ing 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/
AIDS) to live in dignity and independence; and providing affordable housing that is accessible to
job opportunities.
PROVIDE A SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT I 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 decon-
centration 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 I which includes:
job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization and expansion of small businesses (including
microbusinesses); the provision of public services concerned with employment; the provision of
jobs 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.

INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE and COORDINATION
Federal regulations require recipients to establish a common program year and identify a single lead
agency to prepare and submit the Plan. The task of preparing this Plan is assigned to the City of Fay-
etteville's Community Resources Division (CRD). Annually, CRD prepares the One -Year Action Plan as
an update to the Five -Year Consolidated Plan. The division addresses the various housing needs and
strategies of the City of Fayetteville and administers the City's CDBG Program. It also functions as a
program and services delivery -unit to help address the community's needs for decent housing, a suitable
living environment, and sustained economic health.
The Community Resources Division has been in contact with an extensive network of govemmental and
non-profit agencies in preparation for the writing of this plan. Notices of funding availability were pub-
lished in the local newspaper.
The delivery and financing of affordable/attainable housing involves organizations and participants from
public agencies, businesses and private institutions, non -profits and community based organizations. The
roles and responsibilities of the participants will vary depending on the project, required resources, leader-
ship, and levels of commitment, capacity, productivity and understanding of the issue. The Community
Resources Division plans to continue working with the various organizations as it implements the provi-
sions of the 2008 One -Year Action Plan and the 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan.
Staff also maintains relationships with state and federal partners and agencies to better link services to
our targeted population. CRD staff has assumed leadership and support roles with the Northwest Arkan-
sas Housing Coalition, Local Community Clinic, League of United Latin American Citizens, New Arkansas
Resource Network Advisory Committee, City of Fayetteville Housing Task Force, Fayetteville Chamber of
Commerce Small Business Committee, and board member of the National Community Development As-
sociation.

HOUSING
The City of Fayetteville is committed to the de-
velopment of programs which address the need
for housing for Low and Moderate Income (LMI)
persons and families. In response to priority needs
revealed during the development of the City's five
year Consolidated Plan in 2005, the City has fo-
cused on developing community partnerships with
local entities with expertise in specialized housing
activities. This cooperation will further the Attainable before
Housing effort in the City of Fayetteville. Attain-
able housing has become a topic of great concern
for this division. Housing costs in Northwest Arkansas have increased at
a considerable rate throughout the past 10 years according to the lat-
est 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.

REHABILITATION

The City of Fayetteville has been helping homeowners with rehabilita-
tion of their homes for approximately 30 years. The funding has allowed
homeowners to stay in their homes, and the improvements to their homes
have acted as a catalyst for other, high quality
renovations and new construction of housing in the
project area. The majority of recipients have been
very low income and or elderly households. These
owners have little or no funds available to repay
the loan and typically have the greatest amount of
deferred maintenance. The chart below reflects
the income levels from January 2007 - September
2007.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau approximately 1,640 homes were built prior to 1978 in the City
of Fayetteville. Any rehabilitation activities on homes constructed prior to 1978 will have lead hazards
identified and actions taken to remove the hazard Lead-based paint hazards consist of any condition
that causes exposure to lead. In 2007, the program has conducted 11 Lead -Based Paint tests and has
removed hazards from the homes that tested positive.
Along with the Lead -Based Paint need, the U S Census Bureau reports that there are approximately
4,608 residents over the age of 65 in the City of Fayetteville. These homeowners are generally on
a fixed-income and cannot afford to make any repairs on their homes or address making their homes
energy efficient. The program addresses both Lead -Based Paint and making the home energy efficient
to allow the homeowners to remain in their homes for up to 10 years longer than expected. The charts
below reflect the statistics on the participants that have been assisted in the past nine months of 2007.
We have provided rehabilitation to 14 homes since January 1, 2007.

PUBLIC SERVICES
Utilization of CDBG funds for the provision of public services, which serve LMI groups, has been, and
continues to be a focus of the Community Development Program.
The Taxi Program provides subsidized cab fare for our elderly and disabled citizens, providing a transpor-
tation 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 elderly and disabled the opportunity to participate in community lite and live independently.
The Transit Program provides monthly passes to 100 qualified low -to -moderate income residents of
Fayetteville. This form of supplemental transportation was gamered out of a partnership between Ozark
Regional Transit and the City of Fayetteville.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
CDBG has historically supported community services facilities projects in Fayetteville. CDBG dollars have
assisted construction, renovation and development of facilities for local non-profit organizations such as
YouthCANls Community Imagination Studio, Seven Hills Homeless Center, Head Start, Yvonne Richardson
Center, and Peace at Home Family Shelter, as well as renovations and improvements to streets, side-
walks and other infrastructure located in the designated target area.
REDEVELOPMENT
In 1992, a neighborhood within a low -to -moderate -income area of Fayetteville was designated as the
Target Area. Prior to the creation of the program, Code Compliance efforts were placing an additional
economic strain on the low -to -moderate income homeowners in the Target Area who are physically or
financially unable to correct code violations. Thus, in 2004, the Redevelopment Program was established
for the Target Area to assist in cleaning and revitalizing the deteriorating neighborhood.

According to the Community Sourcebook of Zip Code Demographics, 37.2% of the population makes less
than $25,000; 26.0% make $25,000 to $49,000; 24.3% make $50,000 to $99,000; 8.0% make $100,000
to $149,000; and 4.6% make $150,000 or more. The Target Area is located within the 72701 zip code
area, which is comprised of mainly low -to -moderate -income residents.
With a great percentage making less than $25,000 a year, it is evident that residents will not have the
resources to correct code violations on their property. In 2005, the Program expanded to assist any
low -to -moderate income resident and owner occupied resident within the City of Fayetteville. Without the
assistance of the Redevelopment Program, residents would be placed under more economic strain.
From January 2007 - September 2007, we have successfully assisted 5 households, spending over
$8,198 on dean -ups. The charts below demonstrate the statistics on the participants that were assisted.

As a way to reach out to more residents in the Target Area, the Redevelopment Program took a tum
and changed its tactics to educate the residents of the Target Area. The Redevelopment Officer is now
dedicating three days a week to meet with residents and local organizations. The goal is to not only
educate the public on the city ordinances and the program, but also to develop more relationships to
further the efforts of the program.

FEDERAL I STATE
The City is the recipient of a formula grant program, the Community Development Block Grant. Private
non-profit organizations in Fayetteville are funded through competitive state and federal allocations, the
local United Way campaign, private foundation grants, other special competitive grants, and private dona-
tions including fund-raising activities. The City anticipates the CDBG formula allocation in 2007 will be
approximately $653,244.
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
The City's Street Division has estimated $130,401 for street overlay and repair of streets located in the
designated Community Development Target Area. The City's Budget Division has budgeted approximately
$16,223 for maintenance of city -owned buildings occupied by area non-profit agencies performing public
service activities.
CDBG Activities are designed and carried out based on local needs. Through public meetings, consulta-
tion with area public and non-profit service agencies, informal discussion with citizens, studies, city staff,
and special purpose committees, input from community stakeholders and resource holders are integrated
to designate action priorities.
One formal public hearing was held to present and discuss proposed CDBG activities for fiscal year
2007. Non-profit agency representatives and others attended the meetings. Community Development staff
have been active in the presentation of program information. To celebrate over 30 years of the Com-
munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the Division spent the month of April 2007 providing
activities and programs for the community. On April 14, 2007, the CR Division organized the first an-
nual Housing Fair Plus at the Fayetteville Senior Center. The Division also reached out to some of our
local non -profits by volunteering our services for projects. To celebrate, CDBG staff planted flowers with
the children at Head Start, worked in the food pantry at LifeSource International, painted a new resident
apartment for Life Styles, Inc., and worked on a home under construction for Habitat for Humanity of
Washington County. The Division wrapped up the month by giving presentations at Legal Aid, the Fay-
etteville Police Department and the Arkansas Department of Human Services.
In addition, the
development of a
quarterly newsletter serves
to
inform the
community of current
and fu-
ture projects.

The "Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing" (Al) was updated in 2005. CDBG Program regulations
require recipient jurisdictions to "affirmatively further fair housing," required by 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 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 Al 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.
The current Al identified three areas of action:
• Further development of the Attainable Housing Element that provides methods of enhancing
attainable housing by providing a multi -faceted policy.
• Encouragement of continuing education/outreach in the realtor/developer community, and local
newspapers and other publications on fair housing.
• Enhancement of local fair housing ordinance.
Action development in these areas will be the purview of the administration program.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a recipient of the Transitional Program through Peace at Home Family Shelter. As a recipient, I
fully support this program because it has been a tremendous assistance to me and to my children. For
one thing, the Transitional Program has helped us get a safe place to live by writing directly to the apart-
ment manager stating that the Transitional Program will assist me with the monthly rental fee. If it was
not for that letter, the apartment manager would not allow us to rent due to no source of income. When
I was given the opportunity to lease an apartment, my heart expressed joy knowing that the children
and I did not have to return to our abuser and that we did not have to live our lives with misery. For
another, the Transitional Program has bestowed us with home supplies and gas cards. For a person
with no income, buying a bathroom tissue is an issue. Therefore, every single contribution does matter.
In addition to that, the Transitional Program has provided me with the letter of recomendation to obtain
a scholarship from the Single Parent Scholarship. Getting a recommendation letter was difficult for me
because I had been isolated at home and made no acquaintance. Moreover, the Transitional Program
has provided us counseling sessions and given us an emotional support to help overcome the separation
process. Personalty, the counceling sessions help me conquer some old issues I had in the past. As
you can see, the Transitional Program has been a remarkable support for me and my children, and I
strongly recommend this program to be supported financially becuase somewhere out there are individuals
waiting for similar support I have received.
Yours Truly,
AB
I would like to start with a simple thank you to the Peace at Home Family Shelter for everything that
they did for me and my family. Without the help from them, I have no doubts that I would still be in a
very abusive home, and my children as well. They are finding out finally what its like to live normal and
happy. So thanks, to the Peace at Home Family Shelter.

October 10, 2007
I am a resident at Peace at Home Shelter, and this weekend I am moving out. I have been here for
two months and when I got here I was a hurt, broken, scared woman, trying desperately to save myself
and my three children. Today as I write this letter, I am confident, secure, clean, and my children are
safe. I have a job, my car is now running fine, and like I said, I am moving into a new place. I just
wanted to let you know I wouldn't have been able to have done any of this without the help of Peace at
Home. It would not be right of me to leave without letting you know that without Peace at Home, who
knows what would have happened to me and my Idds. You have given me the emotional, mental, finan-
cial, and physical support to help me out of a bad situation and turn me into a strong woman ready for
a successful future with my family. I thank God and everyone at Peace at Home for the immeasureable
help you have given. I will miss you all! God Bless.
