CITY OF 'ttvill+ e CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ARKANSAS
MEETING OF JULY 19, 2016
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
FROM: Yolanda Fields, Community Resources Director
DATE: June 29, 2016
SUBJECT: 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan, 2016 Action Plan, and CDBG Reconciliation
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached 5 -year Consolidated Plan, 2016 Action Plan, and budget
adjustment reconciling CDBG grant funds.
BACKGROUND:
Fayetteville has been a CDBG Entitlement City since 1975. Funding is based on a 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 Division submits an Action
Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing 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. Furthermore, every five years a Consolidated
Plan, which is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and
community development needs, is also sent to HUD in order to help determine funding needs
DISCUSSION:
Grant amounts vary each year based upon the funding levels authorized by Congress through the
annual federal budget process. The award for 2016 is $619,098. The grant funding detail submitted
to HUD in the 2016 Action Plan is as follows:
Administration
$
80,000
Housing Rehabilitation
$343,198
Redevelopment
$
54,400
Big Brothers Big Sisters
$
5,000
CASA of NWA
$
10,000
Credit Counseling of Arkansas
$
5,009
Transportation
$
41,491
Prism Education Center
80,000
$619,098
Approving the Consolidated Plan, 2016 Action Plan and the Mayor's authority to execute the 2016
CDBG Agreement upon receipt will reduce the waiting time for HUD to release the funds. This will
allow for a quicker start to both internal and external programs which assist low and moderate
income residents in Fayetteville.
Moreover, in order to reconcile the CDBG budget to reflect the amount available in HUD's Integrated
Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), an amount of $129,294 will need to be adjusted into
the current budget. Detail of the reconciliation is as follows:

and
Year 1 Action Plan (2016)
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Executive Summary
ES -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) 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.
The Con Plan presents a needs assessment for low- and moderate -income residents. Components of the
Con Plan are a needs assessment, market analysis, and a 5 -year strategic plan. The needs identified in
this plan exceed the funding available to address all of them. The Con Plan will detail how the City of
Fayetteville determined which needs are included in the Year 1 Action Plan.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Overview
The needs assessment, market analysis, consultation with community stake holders, and past
performance were all utilized to develop the priority needs for Fayetteville. The priority needs are
housing, redevelopment, public services, and public facilities. Housing will focus on maintaining the
affordable housing stock through rehabilitation and repair of [Ml 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 Grant Prioritization Committee determining which projects are
included in the annual action plan.
Evaluation of past performance
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, 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
The City of Fayetteville 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 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
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
and services. We realize that even in our connected age not everyone has access to the internet;
therefore, the Outreach Quarterly is distributed in printed format to 40 locations in our community. The
Outreach Quarterly also 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.
A summary of the Action Plan and Budget were published, in conjunction with announcing the public
comment period and a public hearing, in the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette on March 6, 2016
and March 9, 2016. It was also published in the March 10th issues of the weekly publications: The
Fayetteville Free Weekly and La Prensa Libre (in Spanish). Finally, the information was posted to the
City's website at http://www.fayetteville-ar.gov throughout the public comment period. The public
comment period ran from March 10, 2016 to April 8, 2016. A public hearing was held on March 23,
2016 at 5:30 pm. A draft of the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan and Year 1 Action Plan was made available to
the public in the City Clerk's Office and the Community Resources Office throughout the public comment
period.

1. 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 the entire
community to identify the needs and determine areas where services can be enhanced. While the City
uses a variety of methods to reach out to the community we continue to explore new ways of increasing
participation from 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(1)).
The City of Fayetteville Community Resources Division enhances coordination through a variety of
methods.
Community Resources organizes community events throughout the year, such as CDBG in the Park and
FEST of ALL. We encourage local service providers to participate in these events, as they are free of
charge 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 a dual
purpose of enhancing coordination and getting information out to the community.
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 and clientele both, depending upon the needs of the organization.
These presentations ensure that local organizations and/or the organization's clients know the
resources 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 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.
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 a member of the Northwest Arkansas (NWA) Continuum of Care. We attend
meetings and participate with the other members to address the needs of the homeless and potential
homeless in our community.

We work with all departments/divisions of the City; however, there are three that work closely with us
in regards 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. This knowledge of the
community is put to use through having PD, FD and Planning as members of the Grant Prioritization
Committee. This committee reviews all the subrecipient grant applications then meets to rank the
applications and determine which proposals will be included in the Action Plan each year.

At the state level we work closely with our HUD Field Office. We utilize the expertise and technical
assistance available as needed. The good relationship we have with the Field Office led to our recently
taking on the Fayetteville SNAP grants when a local non-profit determined that they were no longer able
to do so. We are using CDBG as match for the SNAP funds that are being utilized to provide housing to
homeles-s and chronically homeless in Fayetteville.

PR -15 Citizen Participation
1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
The City of Fayetteville 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 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. We realize that even in our connected age not
everyone has access to the internet; therefore, the Outreach Quarterly is distributed in printed format to 40 locations in our community. The
Outreach Quarterly also 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.
A summary of the Action Plan and Budget was published in conjunction with, announcing the public comment period and a public hearing, in the
Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette on March 6, 2016 and March 9, 2016. It was also published in the March 10th issues of the weekly
publications: The Fayetteville Free Weekly and La Prensa Libre (in Spanish). Finally, the information was posted to the City's website at
http://www.fayetteville-ar.gov throughout the public comment period. The public comment period ran from March 10, 2016 to April 8, 2016. A
public hearing was held on March 23, 2016 at 5:30 pm. A draft of the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan and Year 1 Action Plan was made available to the
public in the City Clerk's Office and the Community Resource Office throughout the public comment period.
Community Resources reviews our citizen participation process regularly and seeks opportunities to expand community access and increase
citizen participation.
Organizations in the community seeking funding assistance receive technical support throughout the Subrecipient Grant Process. This begins in
August with a mandatory grant workshop for all entities seeking funding for the upcoming year. The grant workshop provides all organizations
that want to submit an application with a walk through of the grant application and an opportunity to ask questions and provide input. The
workshop also provides information on the availability of technical assistance throughout the application process and who to contact for
assistance. Those applicants included in the Action Plan receive technical support throughout the grant year to answer any questions and
provide support/assistance throughout the entire time they are receiving CDBG funds.

Needs Assessment
NA -05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
Below is an overview of the analysis completed in the Needs Assessment. The sections of the needs
assessment are: Housing Needs Assessment, Disproportionately Greater Need, Public Housing,
Homeless Needs Assessment, Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment and Non -Housing Community
Development Needs.
The Housing Needs Assessment (NA -10) shows that cost burden is the most significant housing problem
in Fayetteville; therefore affordable housing is clearly a high priority need. The City of Fayetteville has
identified maintaining the affordable housing stock through housing rehabilitation and repair, including
increasing energy efficiency/reducing utility costs, as a priority.
The analysis of Disproportionately Greater Need (NA -15, NA -20, NA -25, and NA -30) shows there was no
racial or ethnic group that had disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that
category of need as a whole. In addition, the racial and ethnic group percentages within each of the
categories are reflective of the breakdown by percentage of the racial and ethnic groups in the City of
Fayetteville as a whole.
The review of Public Housing (NA -35) shows that public housing needs directly compare to the housing
needs of the population at large. The need for affordability of housing is consistently identified as a
need by service providers in our community including the Fayetteville Housing Authority.
The Homeless Needs Assessment (NA -40) primarily utilized the NWA Continuum of Care 2015 Point -in -
Time count to look at homelessness in our area. While the majority of respondents were sheltered, most
of those were in emergency shelter rather than transitional housing, which is more stable. While the
point -in -time count encompassed all of Northwest Arkansas and not Fayetteville exclusively, the
demographics by race/ethnicity and the proportion of male to female were reflective of Fayetteville
demographics. The needs of the homeless in Northwest Arkansas and in Fayetteville will continue to be
a priority.
The Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment (NA -45) looks at the special needs that are addressed in
Fayetteville. The City of Fayetteville works with those agencies that provide non -homeless special needs
services, primarily through our Subrecipient Grant program. We consult with these agencies through
our subrecipient grant program, technical assistance provision and one-on-one consultations. We invite
these agencies to our community events to provide additional opportunities for community members to
learn about their services and to allow us increased interaction with them as well.
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
The assessment of Non -Housing Community Development Needs (NA -50) looks at Public Facilities and
Public Services both of which are a need in our community. The types of public facilities and public
services available in our community are discussed as well as the process we use to determine which
organizations will be funded annually. We do not discuss Public Improvements as the City does not
currently utilize CDBG funds for public improvements and does not anticipate doing so during the 5 -
years of this Consolidated Plan.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
NA -10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
The Housing Needs Assessment shows that cost burden is the most significant housing problem in
Fayetteville. Analysis of the information/data provided in the tables and by service providers in
Fayetteville also show that persons occupying rental units are more likely to be affected by housing
problems than those in owner occupied units. Those persons who qualify as LMI are more likely to be
affected by housing problems which include cost burden. The need for public services will be specifically
addressed in section NA -50; however, it is important to note that in consultations with local service
providers regarding housing needs, the need for supportive public services was frequently brought up.
Due to cost burden being the primary housing problem in Fayetteville, maintaining affordable housing
stock will continue to be a priority.

Data Source
Comments:
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
Utilizing information provided by homeless service providers in our community, we estimate that
approximately 1,943 single person households are in need of housing assistance annually. The majority
of those single person households are male 85% with the remaining 15% being female.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
According to the local family violence program, there are an estimated 500 families annually in the City
of Fayetteville who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and/or stalking. The
estimate that approximately 25% (125 families) of the above families have at least one disabled family
member.
Information provided by local providers would indicate that approximately 526 disabled families are in
need of housing assistance annually. This estimate includes the families that have also experienced
violence.
What are the most common housing problems?
Utilizing the information in the tables above, the most common housing problems are cost burden
followed by crowding and substandard housing (lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities).
According to the 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -year Estimates, Fayetteville has 32,601
occupied housing units. Fifty-nine percent (19,117) of those are renter occupied with the remaining
41% (13,484) being owner occupied. Fayetteville has a high percentage of rental property in large part
because of the presence of the University of Arkansas. Cost burden is a common housing problem for
LMI in both renter and owner occupied units. Crowding is only an LMI housing problem in renter
occupied units.
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
Those occupying rental units are more likely to be affected by housing problems than those in owner
occupied units.
The 2010-2014 ACS indicated that Fayetteville has 19,117 rental units. The tables above indicate that
13,325 (70%) of those are cost burdened and occupied by households that meet the LMI definition. Of
the 13,325 cost burdened households, 8,380 (61%) have a cost burden >30% and 4,945 (36%) have a
cost burden >50%. The tables also show that 344 (2%) of the rental units have crowding and are
occupied by LMI households.
The same ACS shows Fayetteville has 13,484 owner occupied units. The tables indicate that 2,410 (18%)
of those are cost burdened and owned by households that meet LMI guidelines. The 2,410 cost
burdened owner occupied households consist of 1,625 (67%) that have a cost burden >30% and 785
(33%) that have a cost burden >50%.
The information in Table 7 indicates that 2% of LMI renter occupied units (465) and 2% of LMI owner
occupied units (230) are substandard housing (lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities).
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children
(especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of
either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the
needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing
assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
Information, provided by service providers in our community, indicates that the characteristics of those
who are currently housed but are at risk of either residing in shelter or becoming unsheltered include:
poverty, being unemployed, working low income jobs, having untreated medical or mental health
issues, having children under 18, prior evictions, poor credit, lack of education, and/or lack of social
supports.The needs of the imminent risk LMI population include; financial, housing, transportation, and
education needs.Financial needs encompass many areas including; a way to pay arrears for those facing
eviction (it is generally much less expensive to keep someone in a home than to start from scratch),
assistance with security and utility deposits as well as rent assistance, greater availability of child care
vouchers (the current wait lists are over a year), and increased full-time employment
opportunities. Housing needs include; more shelter options for families that are not experiencing
domestic violence (most of our shelters are for individuals or families fleeing dv), increased transitional
housing with long-term supportive services attached, more in -patient mental health beds, and an
increase in supportive housing for individuals and families with serious mental health or physical
impairments.Transportation needs include; more public transportation and until then more affordable
housing near existing bus routes. Education needs require increased education opportunities in a variety
of areas including; financial management, employment coaching, life skills mentoring, and job readiness
courses.The needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid -rehousing
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 29
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance are; permanent supportive housing for
those needing additional assistance/support, social supports for those ready to move on from case
management, exit planning so participants know the resources available to them, and financial
management tools to be able to manage money effectively on their own.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a
description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to
generate the estimates:
The jurisdiction does not currently provide estimates of the at -risk populations.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness
The housing characteristic most closely linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness for
the Fayetteville LMI population is cost burden, as detailed above.
Discussion
Having determined that cost burden is the most significant housing problem in Fayetteville, affordable
housing is clearly a high priority need. The City of Fayetteville has identified maintaining the affordable
housing stock through housing rehabilitation and repair, including increasing energy efficiency/reducing
utility costs as a priority.

experiencing a Housing Cost Burden, 60% are in the less than or equal to 30% AMI, 18% are in the 30-
50% AMI, 19% are in the greater than 50% AMI and 3% are in the no/negative income category.

NA -30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion — 91.205(b)(2)
Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately
greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?
The analysis of tables 13-21 showed there was no racial or ethnic group that had disproportionately
greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. In addition, the racial and
ethnic group percentages within each of the categories are reflective of the breakdown by percentage of
the racial and ethnic groups in the City of Fayetteville as a whole.
According to the 2010-2014 American Community Survey, the racial/ethnic composition of Fayetteville
is 84% white, 6% Black/African American, 3% Asian, 1% American Indian/Alaskan Native, less than 1%
Pacific Islander and 7% Hispanic. This was reflected in all of the Disproportionately Greater Need Tables
that included race and ethnicity (Tables 13 - 21).
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs?
We did not identify any additional needs related to Disproportionately Greater Need.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your
community?
Through our knowledge of the community and the use of CPD maps we determined that generally there
are not specific areas of our community where a racial or ethnic group is predominately located. The
exception found on CPD maps is a section of southwest Fayetteville that is indicated as being 46.54-
78.63% Hispanic origin.

Introduction
The Fayetteville Housing Authority is the PHA serving Fayetteville. We work closely with the Fayetteville Housing Authority and they provided us
with the information to complete this section of the Consolidated Plan. The Fayetteville Housing Authority has three programs: Public Housing,
Section 8 and HUD/VASH.
The Public Housing program consists of four properties. Hillcrest Towers is a 12 -story building with efficiency and one bedroom apartments
exclusively for elderly and disabled persons. Morgan Manor Apartments is a 52 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-4 bedrooms.
Willow Heights Apartments is a 40 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Lewis Plaza Apartments is a 40 unit complex with
apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. The Public Housing program has 499 units in use.
The Section 8 program has 540 vouchers being utilized to provide housing through participating landlords.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants
on the waiting list for accessible units:
According to the Housing Needs chart in the Fayetteville Housing Authority 5 year plan, the primary
need for families with disabilities is finding accessible units. Affordability, supply and quality are
identified as minor needs.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
The Fayetteville Housing Authority has a waiting list for both public housing and Section 8. The public
housing waitlist is 3-9 months and has 150 people on it. The Section 8 wait list is 18-24 months and has
over 300 people. The Fayetteville Housing Authority 5 year plan indicates that in addition to availability,
the major needs of all families on the wait list are affordability, size, and quality of housing.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large
These needs directly compare to the housing needs of the population at large. The need for
affordability of housing is consistently identified as a need by service providers in our community,
including the Fayetteville Housing Authority.
Discussion
The needs of the Fayetteville Housing Authority are comparative to the needs of the community as a
whole with affordability being a major area of need. The City of Fayetteville will continue to consult and
work with the Fayetteville Housing Authority to address the needs of our community.

Introduction:
The information in the Homeless Needs Assessment is from the January 2015 Point -in -Time count that was done for Northwest Arkansas.
Therefore, this information is not specific to Fayetteville, but does provide some insight as to the level of homelessness within the NWA
Continuum of Care. Currently the NWA Continuum of Care does not project annual numbers for persons experiencing homelessness, and we do
not feel a point -in -time count provides enough information for us to do our own projections; therefore, the columns not reflected on the point -
in -time count are being left blank.

days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically
homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
Using the information from the 2015 point -in -time count, the following observations can be made about the homeless population in Northwest
Arkansas. There are more persons in households with only adults (294) than persons in households with adult(s) and children (104). There are
also more chronically homeless individuals (108) than chronically homeless families (84). The majority of the households with children were
sheltered; of the persons in households with adults and children - 98% were sheltered, and of the chronically homeless families - 95% were
sheltered. There were 197 veterans counted with 186 (94%) of them being sheltered at the time of the count. There were 38 unaccompanied
youth, all of whom fell in the unaccompanied youth 18-24 age group. Twenty-eight (71%) of the unaccompanied youth were sheltered.

Information is from the NWA Continuum of Care January 2015 Point -in -Time count. The point -in -time count includes
Data Source 21 sheltered persons who identified Multiple Races that are not reflected above. NOTE: The NWA CoC covers all of
Comments: Northwest Arkansas therefore these numbers include Fayetteville but are not exclusive to Fayetteville.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with
children and the families of veterans.
The Point -in -Time count does not provide enough information to accurately estimate the number and
type of families in need of housing assistance, but it does provide a view of those in need at the time of
the count. While all of those experiencing homelessness need resources to become homed, those that
are unsheltered will generally have a more urgent need for assistance than those that are sheltered.
The point -in -time count indicates that persons in households with children and chronically homeless
families are more likely to be sheltered than unsheltered. For persons in households with children, 2%
were unsheltered while 98% were sheltered. Chronically homeless families were 5% unsheltered and
95% sheltered. The point -in -time count also indicates that homeless veterans are more likely to be
sheltered than unsheltered. Ninety-four percent of veterans were sheltered while 6% were unsheltered
at the time of the count.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
The 2015 point -in -time count provided the following information regarding the nature and extent of
homelessness by racial and ethnic group in Northwest Arkansas. In all racial and ethnic groups, more of
the homeless are sheltered than not sheltered. Reflective of Northwest Arkansas as a whole, the
majority of the homeless are White. The point -in -time count for White homeless was 502 (449
sheltered, 53 unsheltered) which was 75% of the respondents. Black/African American homeless was 90
(85 sheltered, 5 unsheltered) and represented 14% of respondents. There was 1 unsheltered Asian
homeless person which was 1%. American Indian or Alaska Native was 23 (21 sheltered, 2 unsheltered)
representing 3% of respondents. Twenty-eight sheltered Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander were
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 46
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
homeless, which was 4% of respondents. Twenty-one shelter respondents identified as Multiple Races
and represented 3% of respondents. Fifty-one homeless were Hispanic (50 sheltered, 1 unsheltered)
which was 8% of the respondents.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
The 2015 point -in -time count for Northwest Arkansas indicated that the majority of homeless are
sheltered. Ninety-one percent of the 665 respondents were sheltered (431 in emergency shelter, 173 in
transitional housing); the remaining 9% (61) were unsheltered.
Approximately 50% of households did not have children, and the other 50% had at least one adult and
one child. Households without children (330) were 83% sheltered (197 emergency shelter, 76
transitional housing) and 17% unsheltered (57). Households with at least one adult and one child (335)
were 99% sheltered (234 emergency shelter, 97 transitional housing) and 1% unsheltered (4).
Forty-five percent (300) of respondents were female and 55% (365) were male. Both female and male
respondents were more likely to be sheltered than not, with females being slightly more likely than
males to be sheltered. Ninety-six percent of females were sheltered (204 emergency shelter, 84
transitional housing) with the remaining 4% (12) being unsheltered. Eighty-seven percent of males were
sheltered (227 emergency shelter, 89 transitional housing) and 13% (49) were unsheltered.
Discussion:
The Northwest Arkansas Continuum of Care 2015 Point -in -Time count provided some baseline
information about homelessness in Northwest Arkansas that is indicative of the areas where assistance
may need to be directed.
While the majority of respondents were sheltered, most of those were in emergency shelter rather than
transitional housing, which is more stable. While the point -in -time count encompassed all of Northwest
Arkansas and not Fayetteville exclusively, the demographics by race/ethnicity and the proportion of
male to female were reflective of Fayetteville demographics.
The subpopulation information in the point -in -time count indicates that four subpopulations have the
highest rates of homelessness. The four subpopulations are: chronically homeless, severely mentally ill,
chronic substance abuse and veterans. The numbers would also indicate that homeless persons may
belong to more than one of these subpopulations. Other subpopulations experiencing homelessness
include; HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence, unaccompanied youth, parenting youth and children of
parenting youth.
The needs of the homeless in Northwest Arkansas and in Fayetteville will continue to be a
priority.

NA -45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
The special needs populations in Fayetteville include the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with
alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence/dating
violence/sexual assault/stalking. We work with local service providers for these special needs
populations to determine what the needs are.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
The 2010 - 2014 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates places the number of Fayetteville
residents that are 65 years and over at 6,724 which represents 9% of the city's population. Forty
percent (2,761) are male and the remaining 59% (3,963) are female. We were unable to locate
information on how many of those in the elderly population would be considered frail elderly.
The 2010-2014 ACS 5 -Year Estimates indicate that 7,171 (9%) Fayetteville residents are disabled. Seven
percent (472) are under 18 years of age, 61% (4,382) are 18-64 years of age, and 32% (2,317) are 65
years and over. The ACS does not break this category down by type of disability.
There is currently not a source for information specific to Fayetteville for what percentage
and demographics of the community are affected by alcohol and other drug addiction. The NWA
Continuum of Care 2015 Point -in -Time count indicates that 221 of the homeless in Northwest Arkansas
have chronic substance abuse issues.
We were unable to locate HIV/AIDS information specific to the City of Fayetteville. We utilized AIDSVu
for local (county) statistics. AIDSVu is an interactive online map illustrating the prevalence of HIV in the
United States. The maps at AIDSVu do not go down to city level, therefore we are utilizing the
information for Washington County. The 2012 HIV/AIDS statistics indicate that 319 people have
reported cases of HIV/AIDS out of a population of 225, 477 (less than 1%). The characteristics are
discussed in more detail below.
According to the local family violence program, there are an estimated 500 families annually in the City
of Fayetteville who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and/or stalking.
They estimate that approximately 25% (125 families) of the above families have at least one disabled
family member.
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 48
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these
needs determined?
The housing needs of these special needs populations are the same as those outlined in detail at NA -10
Housing Needs Assessment. At their most basic, those housing needs are affordability, no crowding and
complete facilities (plumbing/kitchen). Special needs populations are more likely to need specialized
support services than the rest of the population. Examples of some of those support services are listed
below.
Elderly citizens, especially those that are frail elderly, may need in -home services, access to a senior
center, transportation assistance, and/or care coordination.
Disabled citizens may need transportation assistance, support programs, counseling, job training, and/or
education opportunities.
Those experiencing alcohol and other drug addiction may need alcohol/drug rehabilitation, Alcoholics
Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous groups, and family members may need support also such as an Al -
Anon group.
Those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may need assistance accessing medical care, counseling and/or
prescription assistance.
Victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking may need medical assistance,
legal assistance, job readiness courses, child care, and/or transportation assistance.
Additionally, these special needs populations may be at greater risk to be victims of housing
discrimination so access to fair housing information is also important. The needs of special needs
populations in Fayetteville are determined by and through consultation with local service providers.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within
the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
Fayetteville is part of Washington County. We utilized aidsvu.org for local county statistics. The
Washington County 2012 HIV/AIDS statistics indicate there were 319 reported cases; 257 (81%) male
and 62 (19%) female. The race/ethnic distribution of HIV/AIDS in Washington County is White - 258
(81%), Black/African American - 16 (5%), Other/Not Specified - 10 (3%), and Hispanic/Latino - 35 (11%).
The race distribution is consistent with the race distribution of Fayetteville as a whole. The ethnic
distribution is slightly higher than that for Fayetteville. Fayetteville is 7% Hispanic and the County
HIV/AIDS percentage for Hispanic/Latino is 11%. The ages of those in Washington County are; 12 &
under - 1 person, 13 to 24 years - 6 people (2%), 25 to 34 years - 39 people (12%), 25 to 44 years - 82
people (26%), 45 to 54 years - 121 people (38%), and 55 year and over - 70 people (22%).

Discussion:
The City of Fayetteville works with those agencies that provide non -homeless special needs services,
primarily through our Subrecipient Grant program. We consult with these agencies through our
subrecipient grant program, technical assistance provision and one-on-one consultations. We invite
these agencies to our community events to provide additional opportunities for community members to
learn about their services, and to allow us increased interaction with them as well.

NA -50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
Public facilities and the services provided within them are an integral part of our community. Many of
these public facilities provide services primarily (and sometimes exclusively) to the LMI community. As
with any facility, local public facilities need updates and improvements over time. Following is a list of
local public facility types we have funded in the past and will consider funding in the future: senior
centers, handicapped centers, homeless service centers, youth centers, neighborhood facilities, health
facilities, and facilities for special needs populations. This list is not all inclusive - we would consider any
public facility that can show benefit to the LMI community and that they fill a need in the community. A
public facility must provide services primarily or exclusively to the LMI community in order to request
funding for that facility.
In addition, the Community Resources Division has a CDBG Public Facility Lease Program that leases
public facility buildings owned by CDBG to local non -profits that benefit primarily LMI clients. These
buildings are leased to the non -profits for $1/year. The non -profits are selected through a competitive
application process whenever one of the buildings become vacant. The CDBG Public Facility Lease
Program has three public facility buildings. They are currently occupied by Headstart, LifeSource
International, and Arts Live Theatre.
How were these needs determined?
Each year a competitive Subrecipient Grant process is used to determine which public facility projects
will be included in the Action Plan for the upcoming year. The Subrecipient Grant process begins with a
mandatory grant workshop for all potential applicants. Applicants are provided with technical
assistance throughout the process, and those applicants selected for inclusion in the Action Plan have
technical assistance available to them throughout their time as a subrecipient.
The applications from the various organizations inform us of what the current public facility needs in our
community are. The Grant Prioritization Committee members read all of the applications then meet to
determine, based on available funding, which of the applicants will be included in the Action Plan.
The CDBG Public Facility Lease Program buildings do not become available often; however, when they
do there is a competitive application process with the Grant Prioritization Committee deciding which
organization should be awarded the lease.

anticipate doing so during the 5 -years of this Consolidated Plan. The City is funding public

Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
Public services are an integral part of our community. Following is a list of local public services types we
have funded in the past and will consider funding in the future: homeless programs, senior services,
handicapped services, youth services, transportation services, services for battered/abused spouses,
housing counseling, health services, services for abused/neglected children and mental health services.
This list is not all inclusive - we would consider any organization providing public services that can show
benefit to the LMI community and that they fill a need in the community. An organization must provide
services primarily or exclusively to the LMI community in order to request funding for public services.

Housing Market Analysis
MA -05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
The Housing Market Analysis looked at the number of housing units, the cost of housing, the condition
of housing, public and assisted housing, homeless facilities and services, special needs facilities and
services, barriers to affordable housing, and non -housing community development assets. This is an
overview of each area with the detailed analysis occurring in the following sections.
Analysis of the number of housing units indicates that there are a sufficient number of units for the
population of Fayetteville; however, other issues such as affordability and special needs contribute to
some of our citizens being unhoused.
The cost of housing analysis further confirms that cost burden is an issue in Fayetteville. In response,
the City of Fayetteville will continue to keep maintaining the stock of affordable housing units through
rehabilitation and repair as a priority.
The analysis of the condition of housing, particularly the age of housing in our community, indicates that
maintaining the affordable housing stock through housing rehabilitation and repair remains a priority in
our community.
The Fayetteville Housing Authority provides Public Housing, Section 8 and HUD/VASH to our
community. They have short and long range goals for public housing in Fayetteville and receive good
average inspection scores on their properties. The City of Fayetteville will continue to consult and work
with the Fayetteville Housing Authority to meet the needs of our community.
The analysis of homeless facilities and services provides information on the services available to the
homeless in Fayetteville and the organizations that offer them.
The special needs facilities and services section provides information on what is available in Fayetteville
for various special needs populations. It also discusses how we determine assistance for those
organizations.
There were no barriers to affordable housing identified as discussed in more detail in Section MA -40.
The analysis of the Non -Housing Community Development Assets in Fayetteville will show that there are
not any significant gaps in educational attainment and levels of employment. While there is not
currently a specific workforce training initiative, there are resources in the community that provide
education, job skills and other training for those needing that assistance in order to obtain employment.

MA -10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
Fayetteville is the home to the University of Arkansas, which means there are frequent transitions in the
population and is part of why Fayetteville has a high percentage of properties that are renter occupied.
Table 28 shows that 58% percent of units are renter occupied with the remaining 42% being owner
occupied. Student enrollment at the University has been growing the last several years and is projected
to continue growing, which has caused Fayetteville to see new student -centered housing construction to
occur.

The housing units assisted with federal or state funding and/or run by local programs are through the
Fayetteville Housing Authority, Life Styles, and the Walker Family Residential Community (7hills
Homeless Center)
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 54
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
The Fayetteville Housing Authority public housing program consists of four properties. Hillcrest Towers
is a 12 -story building with efficiency and one bedroom apartments exclusively for elderly and disabled
persons. Morgan Manor Apartments is a 52 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-4 bedrooms.
Willow Heights Apartments is a 40 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Lewis
Plaza Apartments is a 40 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. The public housing
program has 499 units in use. The Section 8 program has 540 vouchers being utilized to provide housing
through participating landlords.
Life Styles is a local organization that provides a variety of services to individuals with disabilities. The
housing component of their services consists of 24 units located in 4 duplexes (8 units) and an
apartment building (16 units).
The Walker Family Residential Community (WFRC) is a part of 7hills Homeless Center. In addition to
units dedicated to transitional housing, WFRC has 8 units (studio apartments) that provide permanent
homes to disabled men and women that were homeless.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for
any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
At this time, the City of Fayetteville does not expect to lose any of the affordable housing inventory.
There are no Section 8 contracts that are expected to expire.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
Through consultation with local homeless service providers we were able to provide estimates of
homelessness in section NA -10. Those estimates indicate that there are approximately 2,969 homeless
annually in Fayetteville. According to the 2010-2014 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates the
City of Fayetteville has 3,727 vacant housing units. This would indicate that the number of housing units
available in the community is adequate to meet the needs of the population and that other factors such
as cost burden and need for supportive services are contributing factors to not everyone being housed.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
Information provided through consultation with local service providers and through the evaluations
done in the Needs Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan indicate that Fayetteville needs
affordable housing, which includes maintaining the affordable housing stock that currently exists. There
is also a need for more transitional and permanent supportive housing.
Discussion
The number of housing units is sufficient for the population of Fayetteville; however other issues such as
affordability and special needs contribute to some of our citizens being unhoused. Increased enrollment

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
Comparing the data in Table 31 with the number of households by HUD Area Median Family Income
(HAMFI) in CPD Maps shows that Fayetteville does not have sufficient housing for households at all
income levels. This is confirmed by the information in MA -10 Number of Housing Units and the Needs
Assessment which indicate that while there are sufficient units in Fayetteville cost burden is a primary
issue.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or
rents?
Based on the information available it does not appear that any known factors will affect affordability of
housing. However, home values and/or rents are affected by the economy so there is always the
possibility for changes unforeseen.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this
impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
The 2016 Fair Market Rents for Fayetteville are shown in Table 32. According to the 2010-2014
American Community Survey the majority of housing units in Fayetteville are 2 or 3 bedrooms (34% are
2 bedroom and 34% are 3 bedroom), the next most common would be 1 or 4 bedrooms (14% are 1
bedroom and 14% are 4 bedroom), followed by efficiency units with no bedroom (2%), and the
remaining 1% have 5 or more bedrooms. The 2010-2014 ACS indicates that the median rent in
Fayetteville is $711. This is slightly higher ($2) than the Fair Market Rent for a 2 bedroom unit. (NOTE:
Using the 2 bedroom unit for comparison due to determining that the majority of units in Fayetteville
have 2 or 3 bedrooms). Currently this does not impact our strategy regarding affordable housing as our
focus remains maintaining our current owner occupied affordable housing units.
Discussion
The Cost of Housing analysis further confirms that cost burden is an issue in Fayetteville. In response,
the City of Fayetteville will continue to keep maintaining the stock of affordable housing units through
rehabilitation and repair as a priority.

MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a)
Introduction
The condition of units in Fayetteville is looked at in more detail below. The analysis will show that 21%
of owner occupied units have one selected condition and that 46% of renter occupied units have one
selected condition. One percent of owner occupied units have two or more selected conditions and 4%
of rental units have two or more selected conditions. The selected conditions are: 1) lacks complete
plumbing facilities, 2) lacks complete kitchen facilities, 3) more than one person per room and 4) cost
burden greater than 30%. The Needs Assessment showed that cost burden was overwhelmingly the
most common condition. Table 34 indicates that 34% of housing units in Fayetteville were built before
1980 and could have lead -based paint present. The presence of children is a factor in the risk presented
by lead -based paint, and of those houses built prior to 1980 only 4% have children present. According
to the 2010-2014 American Community Survey 3,727 housing units in Fayetteville are vacant.
Definitions
The Community Resources definitions of "Standard Condition" and "Substandard Condition but suitable
for rehabilitation" are:
Standard Condition is a housing unit that meets HUD Housing Quality Standards (HQS), and state and
local codes.
Substandard Condition but suitable for rehabilitation is a housing unit that is in poor condition and is
both structurally sound and financially feasible to rehabilitate.

Table 36 - Vacant Units
Data Source: 2005-2009 CHAS
Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Fayetteville has a lot of older/aging housing units, as only 26% (8,394) of the housing units are less than
16 years old. The majority of the housing units in Fayetteville (23,050 units/73%) are 17 years or older.
Thirty-four percent (10,795 units) are 37 years or older. As housing units age the potential need for
rehabilitation and/or repair increases, especially for housing units owned by LMI qualified homeowners.
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 60
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP
Hazards
We do not have the data to estimate how many housing units occupied by LMI families have LBP
hazards. The information in Table 35 indicates that 34% of housing units may have a risk of lead -based
paint hazard because they were built before 1980. Our housing rehabilitation and repair program
follows HUD guidelines regarding testing for and addressing LBP issues as required.
Discussion
We do not have an Alternate Data source to be able to upload information into Table 36 Vacant Units.
However, we were able to find some information regarding vacant units in Fayetteville. The 2010 - 2014
American Community Survey indicates that there are 3,727 vacant units in Fayetteville. The ACS does
not indicate which of those units are abandoned nor if those units are suitable for rehabilitation or not.
A review of local realty tracking websites indicate that there are approximately 575 REO properties in
Fayetteville. We were unable to determine how many were abandoned nor whether they are suitable
for rehabilitation or not.
The analysis of the condition of housing, particularly the age of housing in our community, indicates that
maintaining the affordable housing stock through housing rehabilitation and repair remains a priority in
our community.

MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d)
Introduction
Fayetteville makes assistance available to special needs facilities and services through our Subrecipient
Grant Program. This section will look in more detail at the special needs facilities and services currently
available in our community.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental),
persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families,
public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe
their supportive housing needs
Fayetteville has facilities and services for many of the special needs populations; some of the facilities
and services that aren't available in Fayetteville are available in nearby communities. For this
consolidated plan we will be looking at what is available in Fayetteville with the knowledge that our
division and other service providers in our community refer Fayetteville citizens with special needs to
programs in other communities as needed.
Elderly/Frail Elderly - Hillcrest Towers is part of the Fayetteville Housing Authority and provides housing
exclusively for elderly and disabled persons. Fayetteville also has privately owned senior living
communities for seniors. Seniors who wish to stay in their own home but may have supportive needs
can utilize programs available through the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas. The Area
Agency on Aging offers a variety of supportive services including: care coordination, personal emergency
response system, family caregiver support, in -home services, and medical supplies. The Area Agency on
Aging is also over senior centers in Northwest Arkansas; in Fayetteville it is the Fayetteville Senior
Activity and Wellness Center which provides socialization, health and wellness programs/facilities,
educational and enrichment opportunities, nutritious noontime meals, and home delivered meals to
homebound frail seniors. The senior center also offers transportation to and from the center as well as
to shopping, medical appointments and on recreational trips.
Persons with Disabilities - Life Styles provides a variety of services for individuals with disabilities
including: educational programming through their College for Living, supported employment and
supported living. The Elizabeth Richardson Center provides children's and adult services for individuals
with disabilities including; employment supports, job development, community integration, supported
living, community housing, and child development centers.
Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addictions - Ozark Guidance provides outpatient substance abuse
treatment and recovery services. Northwest Arkansas Alcoholics Anonymous has 14 groups that meet
at various locations throughout Fayetteville. Vantage Point of Northwest Arkansas provides a variety of
treatment options including: inpatient treatment, detox, medication management, individual therapy,
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 69
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
group therapy, and family therapy. There is not currently a residential nonprofit program for substance
abuse in Fayetteville but Vantage Point does accept insurance including Medicaid.
Persons with HIV/AIDS - The Washington County Health Unit provides counseling, testing and treatment
for those with HIV/AIDS. There are currently no other HIV/AIDS programs in Fayetteville.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health
institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Fayetteville does not have a supportive housing provider specifically for persons returning from mental
and physical health institutions; however, there are services available to persons returning from health
institutions to their homes or a shelter environment.
Ozark Guidance Center provides assertive community treatment, recovery services, outpatient
treatment and adult day treatment. They use a multi -disciplinary team including psychiatric physicians
and nurses. They also provide programs for children.
Elderly persons who are returning home from a physical health institution can access services available
through the Area Agency on Aging. The Area Agency on Aging offers a variety of supportive services
including: care coordination, personal emergency response system, family caregiver support, in -home
services, and medical supplies.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address
the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with
respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year
goals. 91.315(e)
Community Resources supports services that assist persons who are not homeless but have other
special needs through our Subrecipient Grant Program, which provides service providers with the
opportunity to apply for funding for Public Services and/or Public Facilities to support them in their
provision of service. The grant process is competitive, therefore the organizations and the needs they
meet vary from year to year. In GY2016 we have included organizations that provide services to
support/mentor at -risk youth, advocate for abused youth, and provide budget and housing counseling.
For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to
undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs
identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but
have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2))

MA -40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment
In February of 2016 an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) 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.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within
your jurisdiction?
The Business Activity table (Table 40) above indicates that the major employment sectors in Fayetteville
are: education and health care services (17%), arts/entertainment/accommodations (16%), retail trade
(14%), and professional/scientific/management services (12%).
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 74
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
The Business Activity table indicates that there are unfilled jobs in areas such as
arts/entertainment/accommodations, construction, education and healthcare services, manufacturing,
and retail trade. This could point to a need for education and/or job training programs to prepare
people to fill these types of jobs. Infrastructure needs are determined and prioritized by the
appropriate divisions of the City.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or
regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect
job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for
workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
There are no major changes that we are currently aware of that may affect job and business growth
opportunities during the planning period.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
Looking at Table 44 Educational Attainment by Employment Status, it would appear that the skills and
education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in Fayetteville. In all of
the educational attainment levels, the majority of those in the labor force are employed. Less than high
school graduate has an employment rate of 87%, high school graduate (including equivalency) has an
89% employment rate, some college or Associate's degree a 94% employment rate, and Bachelor's or
higher degree has a 96% employment rate. If the skills and education of the workforce didn't
correspond to employment opportunities, we would expect to see lower levels of employment.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce
Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts
will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
Our research did not find any current workforce training initiatives. While there are not currently any
specific initiatives, there are organizations in our community that provide job skills programs and
educational opportunities are available through Northwest Arkansas Community College.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
(CEDS)?
Yes
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE
0MB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
75
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated
with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that
impact economic growth.
The City of Fayetteville participates in the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District;
however, due to the fact that Fayetteville does not use CDBG funds for economic development, we are
not currently nor planning during the period of this plan to undertake any economic development
initiatives that could be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan. The City of Fayetteville contracts with
the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce to provide economic development. We did not identify any
current local/regional plans or initiative that will impact economic growth.
Discussion
The analysis of the Non -Housing Community Development Assets in Fayetteville show that there are not
any significant gaps in educational attainment and levels of employment. While there is not currently a
specific workforce training initiative there are resources in the community that provide education, job
skills and other training for those needing that assistance in order to obtain employment.

Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration")
We did not identify any areas where there is a concentration of households with multiple housing
problems.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
We used CPD Maps to look at racial/ethnic and income distribution in Fayetteville and did not identify
any areas with significant concentrations of a group.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
Due to not finding any areas of significant concentration, there are no characteristics to be identified.
The market characteristics of Fayetteville as a whole were determined in the previous sections of the
Housing Market Analysis and will be applied to the Consolidated Plan as needed.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
Due to not finding any areas of significant concentration, there are no community assets specific to
areas/neighborhoods to be identified. The community assets identified in other sections of the
Consolidated Plan are available to all residents of Fayetteville.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
There are no other strategic opportunites identifed, since we did not identify any area of significant
concentration.

Table 47 - Geographic Priority Areas
General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA
for HOPWA)
All of the internal programs funded with CDBG (Housing Rehabilitation/Repair, Redevelopment and
Transportation) are available citywide. The Housing Rehabilitation/Repair is available to any Fayetteville
homeowner who meets the requirements of the program. Redevelopment is available to any qualified
homeowner in the City, however, there is a focus on the Target Area. The Fayetteville Target Area is a
neighborhood within a low- to moderate- income area of Fayetteville that was designated the target
area in 1992. It was determined that Code Compliance efforts were placing an additional economic
strain on the low- to moderate- income homeowners who were financially and/or physically unable to
correct code violations. Thus, in 2004, the Redevelopment Program was established to assist in cleaning
and revitalizing deteriorating neighborhoods throughout the City, including the Target Area. The
Transportation Program is a public service that is available to all qualifying members of the community.
The taxi component is available to elderly and/or disabled Fayetteville residents and the transit
component is available to LMI residents of Fayetteville.

Narrative (Optional)
The City of Fayetteville's priority needs are developed through consultation with community members,
organizations, and agencies; as well as through assessing the needs of the community utilizing currently
available tools and resources. The priority needs of Housing, Redevelopment, Public Services, and Public
Facilities are geared toward utilizing CDBG funds to effectively benefit the LMI residents of Fayetteville.
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. The City of Fayetteville has been
helping homeowners with rehabilitation of their homes for approximately 40 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 areas. 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.
Redevelopment is available to any qualified homeowner in the City, however there is a focus on the
Target Area. The Fayetteville Target Area is a neighborhood within a low- to moderate- income area of
Fayetteville that was designated the target area in 1992. It was determined that Code Compliance
efforts were placing an additional economic strain on the low- to moderate- income homeowners in the
City who were financially and/or physically unable to correct code violations. Thus, in 2004, the
Redevelopment Program was established to assist LMI homeowners correct code violations.
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.
Community Resources has historically supported public facilities projects in Fayetteville. The
organizations/agencies providing services to LMI Fayetteville residents in their own facilities often need
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 84

assistance with maintaining and/or updating those facilities. The CDBG Subrecipient Grant Program

Fayetteville has three properties that were purchased with CDBG funds and are utilized in our CDBG Public Facility Lease Program. When one of
the three buildings becomes available they are offered through a competitive application process to local non -profits that benefit exclusively or
primarily LMI residents of Fayetteville. Applicants must show that their utilization of the property fits within HUD Guidelines and will benefit the
LMI population. Upon being awarded a CDBG Public Facility Lease the non-profit signs an agreement leasing the property for $1/year with the
understanding that they are responsible for utilities, insurance and routine maintenance/upkeep on the property.

Table 52 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed
above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
Fayetteville has several facilities that provide services to meet the needs of homeless persons including
chronically homeless, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. This does not mean
there are no unmet needs for the homeless in our community which was addressed in the Needs
Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan. Facilities and services available to meet the needs of
homeless persons in Fayetteville are:
Day Center - 7hills Homeless Center (meals, showers, storage lockers, laundry, clothing, blankets, service
referrals, use of telephone, computers, coffee, newspapers, safe mail drop, crisis counseling, volunteer
opportunities, identification and birth certificate assistance, psychological counseling referrals and
assessments, prescription assistance, day labor opportunities, and job search assistance)
Homeless Veterans - 7hills Homeless Shelter (Supportive Services for Veteran Families rapid re -housing
for individual veterans and veterans with families, assistance with obtaining/maintaining employment,
budgeting, and applying for VA benefits, rent, utilities, employment and vocational costs, childcare,
moving costs), Fayetteville Housing Authority/Veterans Healthcare of the Ozarks (HUD Veterans Affairs
Supportive Housing Program, long-term, intensive case management program)
Overnight Shelter - Peace at Home Family Shelter (shelter for individuals and families with children
experiencing domestic violence, support groups, counseling, job readiness skills, legal services, Spanish
speaking services, follow-up services, and 24 hour crisis line), The Salvation Army/Fayetteville (shelter
for individuals and families with children, food, clothing, diapers, formula, hygiene items, rent and utility
assistance)
Permanent Supportive Housing - City of Fayetteville Hearth Program (permanent supportive housing for
homeless and chronically homeless, utility and security deposits, rent assistance, case management),
7hills Homeless Center/Walker Family Residential Community (permanent supportive housing for
disabled men and women, support for health and wellness needs, help developing a strong support
network)

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Transitional Housing Programs - City of Fayetteville Hearth Program (transitional housing for individuals
and families with children, utility and security deposits, rent assistance, case management), 7hills
Homeless Center/Walker Family Residential Community (transitional housing for individuals and families
with children, assistance with further education, obtaining stable employment, creating a support
network, case management)
Unaccompanied Youth - Youth Bridge (emergency shelter, residential treatment, transitional housing,
group foster home, outpatient substance abuse, case management, outreach, and prevention)
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population
and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed
above
Information, provided by service providers in our community, indicates that while overall the service
delivery system provides for the needs of special needs populations and persons experiencing
homelessness there are gaps. Organizations provide financial, housing, transportation, and education
services but those organizations have identified ways those services could be improved, as listed below:
Financial needs encompass many areas including; a way to pay arrears for those facing eviction as it is
generally much less expensive to keep someone in a home than to start from scratch, assistance with
security and utility deposits as well as rent assistance, greater availability of child care vouchers as the
current wait lists are over a year, and increased full-time employment opportunities.
Housing needs include; more shelter options for families that are not experiencing domestic violence
(most of our shelters are for individuals or families fleeing dv), increased transitional housing with long-
term supportive services attached, more in -patient mental health beds, and an increase in supportive
housing for individuals and families with serious mental health or physical impairments.
Transportation needs include; more public transportation and until then more affordable housing near
existing bus routes.
Education needs require increased education opportunities in a variety of areas including; financial
management, employment coaching, life skills mentoring, and job readiness courses.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and
service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
The City of Fayetteville will continue to consult with local organizations/agencies, seek public input, and
participate of 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.

Barriers to Affordable Housing
In February of 2016 an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) 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.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
The Al did not identify any public policy barriers to affordable housing.

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City's involvement in the NWA Continuum of Care 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 out. For example,
our annual CDBG in the Park event is widely attended by homeless persons who in addition to lunch
have an opportunity to learn more about our programs and programs offered by other
organizations/agencies in our community.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The Subrecipient Grant Program which provides funds for public services and public facilities is the
primary method that the City has to address emergency and transitional housing needs in our
community. We also address transitional housing through the provision of staff to provide oversight
and case management for the City of Fayetteville Hearth Program.
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. We also help homeless persons make the transition
to permanent housing through the provision of 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.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being
discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving
assistance from public and 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
primary method that the City has to to help low-income individuals and families avoid homelessness. 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.

SP -65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
All of the housing rehabilitation and repair projects the City does adhere to 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.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
The information in Table 35 (MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing) indicates that 34%
of housing units in the City of Fayetteville may have a risk of lead -based paint hazard because they were
built before 1980. We do not have the data to estimate how many of those older housing units are
occupied by LMI families but it is safe to assume that older homes may be more affordable for an LMI
family. LBP procedures as listed above are applied to all homes we work on.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
The City of Fayetteville follows lead based paint regulations as required by HUD. As described above,
the presence of lead and lead based paint hazards is considered at each step of the rehabilitation
process from initial inspection through clearance testing (if required based on presence of lead and type
of work performed).

The City of Fayetteville anticipates allocating CDBG funds to activities that will assist poverty level
families in Fayetteville. Specific activities will be 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
LMI individuals and public service activities that support mentoring, after school, and summer programs
for LMI children.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this

PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES will be monitored by Community Development staff. Subrecipient
agreements will be required for all public service activities. Monitoring includes assessment of program
performance, financial performance and regulatory compliance. Subrecipient agreements will require
documentation of activities and results. The subrecipient agreement will outline procedures to be
followed in case a non-compliance situation may occur.
REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS will be monitored by Community Development staff, State HUD staff and
external auditors. Code compliance issues are administered according to city ordinances and

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City of Fayetteville feels that it is important to reach as much of the LMI population as possible
through the projects receiving CDBG funds. Allocations to projects that are available to all LMI residents
meet this goal.
Discussion
There have been projects in the past that have targeted specific areas of the community and could be in
the future. The current needs of the community are best met by the projects included in the Action Plan
and they are available to LMI residents throughout the City.

AP -60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Fayetteville Housing Authority is the public housing provider in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville
Housing Authority has three programs: Public Housing, Section 8 and HUD/VASH. We work closely with
the Fayetteville Housing Authority.
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. The actions
planned by the Fayetteville Housing Authority are delineated in the Public Housing sections of the Con
Plan.
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 three family complexes (Willow Heights, Lewis Plaza and
Morgan Manor) are implementing neighborhood watch programs in cooperation with the Fayetteville
Police Department which will increase resident involvement in keeping their complexes safe.
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.

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.
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 involvement in the NWA Continuum of Care 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 out. 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.
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. The subrecipients included in this action plan do not specifically address emergency shelter
and transitional housing needs.
We also address transitional housing through the provision of CDBG funded staff to provide oversight
and case management for the City of Fayetteville Hearth Program.
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. This action plan does not include subrecipients that
Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 117
0MB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
specifically provide services to homeless persons. We will during the period of this action plan help
homeless persons make the transition to permanent 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
primary method that the City has to help low-income individuals and families avoid homelessness. This
action plan includes funding for Credit Counseling of Arkansas who through budget/credit counseling,
and mortgage workout assistance help people stay in their home. While not directly related to avoiding
becoming homeless, the inclusion of programs that assist at -risk children (Big Brothers Big Sisters) and
abused children (CASA) in the action plan addresses LMI special needs and youth needs in our
community. 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 Con Plan 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 but we utilize the assessment tools available to us to determine the best projects to implement
annually.

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
In February of 2016 an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) 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 any proposed public policy
changes that could create a barrier to affordable housing.

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
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 and 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.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
All housing rehabilitation and repair projects the City does adhere to 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 anticipates allocating CDBG funds to activities that will assist poverty level
families in Fayetteville. Specific activities will be 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
LMI individuals and public service activities that support mentoring, after school, and summer programs
for LMI children.

0MB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The Community Resources Division (CR) of the City of Fayetteville oversees the CDBG programming for
our community. CR administers the internal housing, redevelopment and transportation programs that
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 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 combining the information available from others in our
community with the information we have internally to develop actions that will benefit Fayetteville.
