Subject: 2010 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
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 formula allocation process awards
CDBG funding to the City of Fayetteville. Each year the Community Services Division submits a
Consolidated Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) outlining
the proposed uses of the CDBG funding. If HUD approves the Action Plan a CDBG Agreement for that
year is received. This Agreement 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.
Grant amounts vary each year dependent upon the funding levels authorized by Congress through the
annual federal budget process. The estimated award for 2010 is $649,000. The grant funding detail
submitted to HUD in the 2010 Consolidated Action Plan is:
Administration $ 84,784
Housing Rehabilitation 354,832
Redevelopment 56,384
Arts Live Theatre 29,603
Big Brothers Big Sisters 8,500

Approving the Mayor's authority to execute the 2010 CDBG Agreement upon receipt will
reduce the waiting time for HUD to release the funds. This will allow for quicker start up of
both internal and external programs to assist low and moderate income residents of
Fayetteville. Any change in the awarded funding amount will be presented to the Council.

Staff recommends that authority is given to the Mayor to execute the 2010 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Agreement upon receipt.

2010 Consolidated Action Plan f Introduction
This document serves as the City of Fayetteville's One -Year Consolidated Action Plan Submission for
the use of 2010 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 outlined in 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 30, August 1, and
August 2, 2009, with published notices that the City was holding a mandatory workshop and accepting
applications for 2010 CDBG program funding. This notice of funding, in combination with the public
hearing held on October 8, 2009, allowed agencies and interested citizens the opportunity to express
concerns and share 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 grant prioritization committee. Applications were reviewed for compliance with
application requirements. Proposed projects were also evaluated for fit with City 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 meeting at least one of the three
national objectives: benefit low- and moderate -income individuals, prevent or eliminate blight and slums
or meet urgent community development needs 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 24 and 27, 2009. It was also published in Spanish in the
weekly paper Noticias Libres for the week of September 28, 2009. These public notices provided the
start and end dates of the 30 -day public comment period. In addition, the public notices advised the
general public of two locations that the proposed 2010 One -Year Action Plan was available for their
review and comments. The draft One -Year Action Plan was then discussed at a public hearing held on
October 8, 2009.

2010 Consolidated Action Pian
In order to receive its annual CDBG funding, the City of Fayetteville must develop and submit to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) its Consolidated Action Plan. This plan is the
City's comprehensive planning document and application.
In the Consolidated Action Plan, the City identifies 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 include
all local residents interested in community development to help identify the needs of the community and
formulate strategies for addressing those needs.
The concept behind the Consolidated Action 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 community
development;
• Create a comprehensive vision which includes affordable housing, fair housing, transportation,
economic development and community rehabilitation;
• Enable communities to apply this comprehensive approach in helping the homeless in a continuum
of care, a comprehensive system for moving individuals and families from homelessness 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 Consolidated Plan all
have in common the characteristic that expenditures must primarily benefit extremely low (0 to 30
percent of median income), very low (31 percent to 50 percent of median income), and low
(51 percent to 80 percent of median income) income persons and households.
Page 2
2010 Consolidated Action Plan
In addition, the goals 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 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/AIDS) 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
de -concentration 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 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.

2010 Consolidated Action Plan Institutional Structure & Coordination
INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE and COORDINATION
Federal regulations require CDBG recipients to establish a common program year and identify a single
lead agency to prepare and submit the Consolidated Action Plan. The task of preparing this Plan is
assigned to the City of Fayetteville's Community Services Division. Annually, Community Services
prepares the One -Year Consolidated 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 Services Division has been in contact with an extensive network of governmental and
non-profit agencies in developing this plan. Notices of funding availability were published 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,
leadership, and levels of commitment, capacity, productivity and understanding of the issue. The
Community Services Division will continue working with the various organizations as it implements the
provisions of the 2010 One Year Action Plan.
Staff also maintains relationships with state and federal partners and agencies to better link services to
our targeted population. Community Services staff has assumed leadership and support roles with the
Northwest Arkansas Housing Coalition, League of United Latin American Citizens, New Arkansas
Resource Network Advisory Committee, the Hispanic Women's Organization and the University of
Arkansas Community Relations Committee.

city in metropolitan Northwest Arkansas and is located approximately 185 miles northwest of Little Rock,
Arkansas, 125 miles east of Tulsa, Oklahoma, 350 miles northeast of Dallas, Texas, and 210 miles
south of Kansas City, Missouri. Fayetteville and the Northwest Arkansas region have gained a national
reputation as one of the best places in the country to live and raise a family. The City and the region are
experiencing rapid population growth and an increasing number of visitors. Fayetteville's population has
increased from approximately 20,000 in 1960 to 58,047 according to the 2000 census. A special census
completed in June of 2006 showed the population to be 67,158 and the most recent U.S. Census

currently encompasses 34,153 acres.
The 2006 special census found that there were 67,158 people, 28,212 households, and 13,773 families
residing within the city. The special census numbers reflect increases from the 2000 census. They
show a 14% increase in the number of people, 16% increase in households and a 12% increase in the
number of families. There were 31,419 housing units this is an increase in housing units of 19%
between the 2000 census and the 2006 special census. The racial makeup of the city was 82.9%

HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
HOUSING
The City of Fayetteville 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 priority needs revealed during
the development of the City's five year Consolidated Plan in 2005, the City has focused on developing
community partnerships with 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 increased at a considerable
rate throughout the past 10 years according to the latest 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.
This home received housing rehabilitation with Community Development Block Grant funds. The moderate rehabilitation consisted of installing new
windows to meet code, removing and replacing exterior doors, remove and replace insulations and gutters, new siding, soffit and fascia, replaced back
porch and remove and patch s -rock in bathroom and fix sub -floor.
REHABILITATION
The City of Fayetteville has been helping homeowners with rehabilitation 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 a loan and typically have the greatest amount of deferred
maintenance. The chart on the following page reflects the income levels of program participants from
January 2009 - September 2009.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau approximately 7,722 homes were built prior to 1978 in the City of
Fayetteville. Any rehabilitation activities of more than $5,000 on homes constructed prior to 1978 will
have Lead -Based Paint (LBP) testing done and actions taken to remove any identified hazards. Lead-
based paint hazards consist of any condition that causes exposure to lead. To date in 2009, the program
identified 7 homes in the housing rehabilitation program with LBP concerns. All of those homes have or
will have those hazards corrected. (Note: some of those identified are projects currently in progress)
The 2006 Special Census reported 4,891 residents over the age of 65 in the City of Fayetteville.
Homeowners in this age group are generally on a fixed income and often cannot afford to make any
repairs on their homes or address making their homes energy efficient. The housing rehab program
addresses both Lead -Based Paint issues and making the home energy efficient which can allow the
homeowners to remain in the home longer than expected. The races of the households is 18 (58%)
White, 11 (35%) African American and 2 (7%) Hispanic. The following charts reflect the statistics on the
participants that have been assisted in the first nine months of 2009. We have provided rehabilitation to
31 homes from January, - September 2009.

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 Transportation Program has two
components and provides assistance to LMI, disabled and/or elderly members of our community. The
Transit Program provides qualifying LMI residents with bus passes through a partnership with Ozark
Regional Transit to supplement their ability to get to appointments, jobs, etc. The Taxi Program
provides supplemental transportation for elderly and/or disabled residents of Fayetteville in hopes of
allowing them greater self-sufficiency. The Public Services component also includes the CDBG
Subrecipient Grant Program which allows local nonprofits to apply for funding through a competitive
grant application process.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
CDBG has historically supported Community Services Public Facilities projects in Fayetteville. CDBG
dollars have assisted with construction, renovation and development of facilities for local non-profit
organizations such as Seven Hills Homeless Center, Head Start, Yvonne Richardson Community Center
and Peace at Home Family Shelter, as well as renovations and improvements to streets, sidewalks and
other infrastructure located in the designated target area.

REDEVELOPMENT
In 1992, a neighborhood within a Iow-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- and 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 599,000; 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— and moderate -income residents.
With a high percentage making Tess than $25,000 a year, it is evident that residents will often not have
the resources to correct code violations on their property. Currently there are 15 active cases and 21
service requests in the Target Area. The Redevelopment Program assists residents with correcting
code violations without creating additional economic strain.
From January 2009 - September 2009, we have successfully assisted 31 households. The following
charts provide statistics on the participants that were assisted.

In addition to identifying code violations in the Target Area, the Redevelopment Officer seeks
opportunities to educate residents and local organizations in the Target Area on city ordinances and the
Redevelopment Program. The goal of education is not just to educate the public but also to develop and
maintain relationships.

2010 Consolidated Action Plan Analysis of impediments to Further Fair Housing
ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (Al) was updated in 2005. CDBG Program regulations
require recipient jurisdictions to `affirmatively further fair housingas required by Section 808 of the Fair
Housing Act.
The Al is part of the Community Services effort to affirmatively further fair housing choice by identifying
impediments to fair housing 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 helps
describe a clearer picture of housing conditions for LMI households in Fayetteville and aids 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 educationloutreach in the realtorldeveloper community, and local
newspapers and other publications on fair housing.
• Enhancement of local fair housing ordinance.
The Community Services CDBG administration program has responsibility for the efforts to affirmatively
further fair housing.

Dear Mayor Jordan:

RECEIVED
APR3O2010
CITYAY;0RSa FF ICELE
I am pleased to inform you that the City of Fayetteville's Consolidated Plan/Annual
Action Plan has been approved for Fiscal Year 2010 for the formula allocation of $704,208 for
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Program Year for these funds
began on January 1, 2010. It is noted that the Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan submitted
for the use of these funds used a planning figure of $649,000, which is less than the actual
funding amount. Accordingly, please make the necessary corrections in your proposed budget
and activities to reflect the actual funding received. Also, please provide this office with a copy
of your revised budget within 15 days of the date of this letter.
Enclosed are four copies of the Grant Agreement and Funding Approval form that have
been executed by this office. These documents constitute the contract between the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Fayetteville for the
CDBG program. Please sign all copies. After execution, please return three copies to this office
as soon as possible. The fourth copy should be retained in the City's files.
You are reminded that certain activities are subject to the provisions of 24 CFR Part 58
(Environmental Review Procedures for the Community Development Block Grant Program).
Funds for such activities may not be obligated or expended unless HUD has approved a release
of funds in writing. A request for release of funds must be accompanied by an environmental
certification.
The special condition in your Grant Agreement and Funding Approval concerning the
review procedures under Executive Order (E.O.) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal
Programs and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 52, restricts the obligation or
expenditure of funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities until the
completion of the review process and receipt of written notification of release of funds from
HUD. Since you have not submitted your Consolidated Action Plan (CP) for review under E.O.
12372, we assume you do not propose to use funds for activities subject to review. However, the
condition requires that in the event you amend or otherwise revise your CP to use funds for the
planning or construction of water or sewer facilities, you must receive written release of funds
from HUD before obligating or expending funds for such activities.
2
On behalf of the Department, I wish the City of Fayetteville success in the use of these
resources to implement the City's community development initiatives. If there are questions or if
we may be of assistance as you implement your CDBG program, please contact me at (501) 918-
5700, or Lisa Spigner, Community Planning and Development Representative, at (501) 918-
5734.
Sincerely,
Alice Rufus
