CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: City Council
Thru: Jeremy Pate, Dir. Community Development 3
From: Yolanda Fields, Dir. Community Sery
Date: December 7, 2011
Subject: 2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
PROPOSAL:
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 and Urban Development (HUD) outlining the proposed uses of 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 2012 is $589,066. The grant funding detail submitted to HUD
in the 2012 Consolidated Action Plan is:
Administration $109,757
Housing Rehabilitation $320,101
Redevelopment $ 43,208
CASA bf NWA $ 10,000
Community Clinic — St Francis $ 10,000
LifeSource $ 20,000
Wash. Reg. Med. Foundation $ 5,000
Transportation $ 26,000
Life Styles $ 30,000
YRCC $ 15,000
$589,066
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
Approving the 2012 Action Plan and the Mayor's authority to execute the 2012 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 in Fayetteville. Any change in the awarded
funding amount will be presented to the Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the 2012 Action Plan be approved and that authority be given to the Mayor to execute
the 2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Agreement upon receipt.

2012 Action Plan 1 Introduction
This document serves as the City of Fayetteville's One -Year Consolidated Action Plan Submission for
the use of 2012 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 2011-2015 Five -Year Consolidated Plan. The One -Year
Action Plan is a component of the Five -Year 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 27th and 31st
2011 with published notices that the City was holding a mandatory subrecipient grant application
workshop and accepting applications for GY2012 CDBG program funding. This notice of funding, in
combination with the public hearing held on October 6, 2011, 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, 19 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
2011-2015 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 21 and 25, 2011. It was also published in the weekly papers
The Fayetteville Free Weekly and La Prensa Libre (in Spanish) for the week of September 26, 2011.
These public notices provided the start and end dates of the 30 -day public comment period; as well as
the date, time and location for the public hearing. In addition, the public notices advised the general
public of two locations that the proposed 2012 One -Year Action Plan was available for their review and
comments. In addition to the public notices, Community Services issued a press release and published
an announcement on City's website (www.accessfayetteville.org) newsfeed including a link to the Action
Plan draft. The draft One -Year Action Plan was then discussed at a public hearing held on October 6,
2011.

2012 Action Plan
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
2012 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 1 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 1 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.

2012 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 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, 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 2012 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 and the Hispanic
Women's Organization. Community Services has also developed strong ties with the University of
Arkansas including the following departments: Off Campus Connections, the Multicultural Center and
the office of International Students and Scholars.

2012 Action Plan Community Profile
COMMUNITY PROFILE
The City of Fayetteville is the county seat of Washington County and is located in the northwestern part
of Arkansas. Washington County is the third most populous county in Arkansas and one of the fastest
growing. Fayetteville is situated at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Fayetteville is the southernmost
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 73,580 according to the 2010 census. The city is the
third most populous in Arkansas and currently encompasses 35,454 acres (55.39 square miles).
The 2010 census found that there were 73,580 people, 30,726 households and 7,076 families with
children residing within the city. The 2010 census numbers reflect increases from the 2000 census.
They show a 21 % increase in the number of people, 23% increase in households and a 8% increase in
the number of families with children. There are 36,188 housing units; this is an increase in housing units
of 30% between the 2000 census and the 2010 census. The racial makeup of the city is 83.8% White,
6% African American, 1.1% American Indian/Alaska Native, 3.1 % Asian, 0.2% Native

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 continues to be a
topic of great concern for this division. Housing costs in Northwest Arkansas have increased at a consider-
able 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 a wheel-
chair ramp with concrete landing, new siding, replacing flood damaged drywall in the utility room, replace damaged water spigot and repair of a leaking
HVAC unit.
REHABILITATION
The City of Fayetteville has been helping homeowners with rehabilitation of their homes for approximately
32 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 2011 - September 2011.
Page 6
2012 Action Plan Housing & Community Development Needs
Housing Projects Completed 1 Income Limits
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 2011, the program
identified no homes in the housing rehabilitation program with LBP concerns. Anytime that homes are
identified as having LBP issues those hazards are corrected.
The 2010 Census reported 5,752 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 are 7 (78%) White, 1 (11%)
African American and 1 (11%) American Indian. The following charts reflect the statistics on the
participants that have been assisted in the first nine months of 2011. We have provided rehabilitation to
9 homes from January - September 2011.

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 Fayetteville Public Library, Life Styles, LifeSource International and the Yvonne
Richardson Community Center

2012 Action Plan Housing & Community Development Needs
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- 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 2010 American Community Survey 1 -Year Estimates, 15.4% of the population makes
less than $10,000; 9.1 % make $10,000 to $14,999; 17.4% make $15,000 to $24,999; 11.2% make
$25,000 to $34,999; 11% make $35,000 to $49,999; 13.4% make $50,000 to $74,999; 8% make
$75,000 to $99,999; 8.6% make $100,000 to $149,999; 3.4% make $150,000 to $199,999 and 2.4%
make $200,000 or more. The Target Area is located in southeast Fayetteville which continues to be
comprised of mainly low- and moderate -income residents.
With a high percentage making less 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 23 active cases in the
Target Area. The Redevelopment Program assists residents with correcting code violations without
creating additional economic strain.
From January 2011 - September 2011, we have successfully assisted 4 households. The following
charts provide statistics on the participants that were assisted.
