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 Department 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 2021 is $ 748,785. The grant funding detail submitted to HUD in the 2021 Action Plan is as follows: Administration $ 114,531 Housing Rehabilitation $ 481,023 Redevelopment $ 64,072 CASA of N WA $ 10,000 Central United Methodist Church $ 15,000 Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 LifeSource International $ 10,000 Magdalene Serenity House $ 13,000 WelcomeHealth $ 20,000 Yvonne Richardson Community Center $ 6,389 OneCommunity 14,770 $ 748,785 Approving the 5-year Consolidated Plan (2021-2025), 2021 Action Plan and the Mayor's authority to execute the 2021 CDBG Agreement upon receipt will reduce the waiting time for HUD to release the funds. This will allow for a faster 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 $ (38,215) will need to be adjusted out of the current budget.

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 Con Plan and 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 existing affordable housing stock through rehabilitation/repair of LMI owner -occupied homes resulting in decreased cost burden and preventing homelessness. Redevelopment provides code compliance assistance for LMI homeowners who are financially and/or physically unable to correct code violations. Redevelopment also spearheads our community outreach efforts. Public Services and Public Facilities are funded through a competitive grant process. For GY2021 the Grant Prioritization Committee determined which projects are included in the Year 1 Action Plan. Beginning with the Year 2 Action Plan the newly formed Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board will recommend which Public Services and Public Facilities projects will be included in the Action Plan. 3. Evaluation of past performance Each year, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and 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 that information as a component of determining future needs. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 and services. The Outreach Quarterly is distributed electronically to those who sign up. We realize that even in our connected age not everyone has access to the internet; therefore, the Outreach Quarterly is also distributed in printed form to more than 50 locations throughout our community. The Outreach Quarterly also provides the community with program contact information so that community members can get more information as well as provide feedback/input. We host and participate in community events to both provide information about the programs we offer and to receive input from citizens regarding 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 May 9, 2021 and May 16, 2021. It was also published in the May 13th and 20th issues of La Prensa Libre (Spanish weekly). Finally, the information was posted to the City's website at https://www.fayetteville- ar.gov/648/Community-Development-Block-Grant-CDBG throughout the public comment period. The public comment period ran from May 10, 2021 to June 8,2021. A public hearing was held via Zoom on June 3, 2021 at 5:30 pm. A draft of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan and Year 1 Action Plan was made available to the public on-line at https://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/648/Community-Development-Block- Grant-CDBG, in the Community Resources Office, and emailed by request throughout the public comment period. S. Summary of public comments There were two comments received on the 5-year Con Plan/Year 1 Action Plan, one was received via email and the other was made at the public hearing. Both were in support of OneCommunity and are detailed in an attachment. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them There were no comments or views submitted that were not accepted. 7. Summary The City of Fayetteville has completed this 5-Year Consolidated Plan and Year 1 Action Plan according to HUD requirements. The funding decisions have been guided by the needs assessment, market analysis, census data, consultation and partnership with service providers, public input, and past performance data.

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 throughout the community to identify community needs and determine areas where services can be enhanced. While the City currently uses a variety of methods to reach out to the community, such as the outreach quarterly, community events, outreach activities, etc.; we also continue to explore new ways of increasing participation with 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 Department enhances coordination through a variety of methods. Community Resources organizes community events throughout the year, such as CDBG in the Park and the Connections Event. We encourage local service providers to participate in these events, as the events are free of charge and thus a cost effective way to reach out to the community. Community Resources also participates in community events put on by other organizations. Community events serve multiple purposes including enhancing coordination between agencies, providing information to the community, and offering the community opportunities to ask questions and provide input on community needs. 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, clientele, or 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. Technical assistance is provided throughout the year to current and potential subrecipients and is another method of finding out what the needs of the community are. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 Continuum of Care (CoC). We attend CoC board meetings, membership meetings, and participate with the other members in local efforts address the needs of the homeless and potential homeless in our community and NWA as a whole. We participate in the CoC led annual Point In Time and Homeless Inventory counts. The NWA CoC is the lead agency for the NWA application for HUD Continuum of Care funds which the City of Fayetteville receives for the Hearth Program which provides Permanent Supportive Housing to the homeless and chronically homeless in Fayetteville. We also consult with the CoC and member agencies whenever requested. For example, in Fall 2020 we met with other CoC members to develop a COVID-19 cold weather response plan for the upcoming winter. That process led to the City of Fayetteville reallocating some CDBG funds to a local agency to implement that plan. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies, and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Fayetteville provides input to the NWA Continuum of Care at the meetings. We attend board meetings, membership meetings, and participate in subcommittees where decisions are made regarding the development and implementation of performance standards, policies and procedures, and other areas related to addressing the needs of homeless persons in NWA. We also participate in the development of the NWA CoC strategic plan. 2.

Table 3 — Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(1)) We work with all departments/divisions of the City; however, there are three that work closely with us in regard 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. The information that they provide is taken into account when developing the Consolidated Plan. 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 the City taking on the Fayetteville SNAPS grants in 2016 when a local non-profit determined that they were no longer able to do so. We are using CDBG as match for the SNAPS funds that are being utilized to provide housing to homeless and chronically homeless in Fayetteville.

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. The Outreach Quarterly is emailed to those who sign up and is available on the City website. We realize that, even in our connected age, not everyone has access to the internet; therefore, the Outreach Quarterly is also distributed in printed format to more than 50 locations in our community. The Outreach Quarterly 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 for the Consolidated Plan, in the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette on May 9, 2021 and May 16, 2021. A revised ad was run May 30, 2021 to reflect a subrecipient that was inadvertently left out of the initial ad. It was also published in the May 13th and 20th issues of the weekly publication 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 May 10, 2021 to June 8, 2021. A public hearing was held on June 3, 2021 at 5:30 pm. A draft of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan and Year 1 Action Plan was made available to the public on the City website and by request 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. Those applicants included in the Action Plan receive technical support throughout the grant year to answer any questions and provide Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 20 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) support/assistance throughout the entire time they are receiving CDBG funds.

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/repair, including increasing energy efficiency/reducing utility costs, as a priority. Increasing energy efficiency/reducing utility costs reduces the cost burden for LMI homeowners. 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 2020 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 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 27 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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.

The 2020 Point In Time (PIT) Count found that of the 369 total homeless counted 251 were in Fayetteville. The majority of the 369 experiencing homelessness were male (225). The PIT found 263 single person households. 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. The NWA CoC provided the following information. 2020 PIT found that 33% (123) of the 369 homeless counted indicated they had a disabling condition. The PIT reported that 14% (53) were victims of domestic violence. The By -Name -List had 125 households listed in 2020, 20% (25) were victims of interpersonal violence (IPV). In addition, Peace at Home Family Shelter reported assisting 250 families who experienced IPV in 2020 with rapid rehousing. The information provided would indicate that approximately a third of those needing housing assistance have a disabling condition. Based upon the information provided above and prior ConPlans victims of IPV needing housing assistance would be approximately 300 in a year. What are the most common housing problems? Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year Estimates, Fayetteville has 35,288 occupied housing units. Sixty-three percent (22,372) of those are renter occupied with the remaining 37% (12,916) 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 households in both renter and owner -occupied units. Crowding is primarily an LMI housing problem in renter occupied units. 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 tables above indicate that the majority of renter occupied households that are cost burdened are households that meet the LMI definition. The households most likely to have a cost burden greater than 50% of their income are those in the extremely low (0-30% AMI) income category. The households most likely to have a cost burden greater than 30% but less than 50% are the households in the low (>30-50% AMI) followed by the moderate (>50-80% AMI) income categories. LMI households are also more likely to experience the other problems but cost burden is clearly the predominant problem. The same patterns hold true for owner occupied units. 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 Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 options & routes 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 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/repair, including increasing energy efficiency/reducing utility costs as a priority this results in reduced cost burden to the homeowner and prevents the homelessness that could result from the home falling into disrepair. The CDBG Program can't modify the cost burden for renter occupied units but the housing program by increasing energy efficiency and reducing utility costs can help reduce the cost burden for LMI owner -occupied homeowners. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 34 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. Introduction Tables 13-16 look at Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems, where the four housing problems are: 1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities, 3. More than one person per room, 4. Cost Burden greater than 30%. Based on the Housing Needs Assessment in section NA-10 the housing need most likely to be present in the "Has one or more of the four housing problems" column is Cost Burden greater than 30%. A disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group experience problems more than 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of households in the category as a whole.

The majority of income categories did not have a racial or ethnic group that had disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole. There were a few incidences of disproportionately greater need that are detailed in the appropriate sections. 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 the use of CPD maps we determined that there are no areas of our community where a racial or ethnic group is predominately located.

We work closely with the Fayetteville Housing Authority and they provided and/or confirmed the information used to complete this section of the Consolidated Plan. The Fayetteville Housing Authority has the following programs: Public Housing, Project Based Rental Assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8), and HUD/VASH. The Public Housing program consists of three properties. Hillcrest Towers is a 12-story (98 unit) building with efficiency and one bedroom apartments exclusively for elderly and disabled persons. Willow Heights Apartments is a 50 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Lewis Plaza Apartments is a 46 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. The Public Housing program has 194 units in use. FHA has 585 vouchers. Morgan Manor is the Project Based Rental Assistance location. It is a 52 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-4 bedrooms. The Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) has 474 vouchers being utilized to provide tenant -based housing through participating landlords. The HUD/VASH program is providing Supportive Housing for 108 veterans in our community. The program is run jointly by the Fayetteville Housing Authority and the Fayetteville Veterans Affairs office.

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 Public Housing, Project Based Rental Assistance and Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). The public housing waitlist times vary but is generally 18-24 months. The project based rental assistance wait time also varies but is approximately 2 years. The housing choice voucher program (Section 8) wait list is 3 years. The Fayetteville Housing Authority 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 major need by service providers throughout our community, including the Fayetteville Housing Authority. Availability, size and quality are also consistently identified as housing needs. Discussion The needs of the Fayetteville Housing Authority are comparable 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 and other providers to identify and address the housing needs of our community. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c) Introduction: The information in the Homeless Needs Assessment is from the January 2020 Point -in -Time count that was done for Northwest Arkansas. Therefore, most of this information is not specific to Fayetteville, but does provide some insight as to the level of homelessness throughout Northwest Arkansas. 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. The 2020 Point -in -Time count showed that 251 of the 369 homeless people were in Fayetteville. While the NWA Continuum of Care includes one rural county the City of Fayetteville is a Metropolitan Area.

There are more persons in households with only adults (263) than persons in households with adult(s) and children (16). There are also more chronically homeless individuals (76) than chronically homeless families (22). The majority of the households with children were sheltered; of the persons in households with adults and children - 81% were sheltered, and of the chronically homeless families - 77% were sheltered. There were 33 veterans counted with 22 (67%) of them being sheltered at the time of the count. There were 43 unaccompanied youth, 26 of whom fell in the unaccompanied youth 18-24 age group with the remaining 17 in the unaccompanied youth under 18 group. 25 (58%) of the unaccompanied youth were sheltered. The CoC is working with University of Arkansas social work students to improve data collection which should result in having estimates for other categories in the future. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Nature and Extent of Homelessness: (Optional) Race: Sheltered: Unsheltered (optional) White 156 120 Black or African American 22 15 Asian 0 1 American Indian or Alaska Native 14 15 Pacific Islander 5 4 Ethnicity: Sheltered: Unsheltered (optional) Hispanic 10 2 Not Hispanic 187 153 Alternate Data Source Name: NWA CoC 2020 Point in Time Count Data Source Comments: 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, 19% were unsheltered while 81% were sheltered. Chronically homeless families were 23% unsheltered and 77% sheltered. The point -in -time count also indicates that homeless veterans are more likely to be sheltered than unsheltered. Sixty-seven percent of veterans were sheltered while 33% were unsheltered at the time of the count. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. The 2020 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, except American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), more of the homeless are sheltered than not sheltered. There was one more AI/AN that was unsheltered (15) than there were sheltered (14). Reflective of Northwest Arkansas as a whole, the majority of the homeless are White. The point -in -time count for White homeless was 276 (156 sheltered, 120 unsheltered) which was 78% of the respondents. Black/African American homeless was 37 (22 sheltered, 15 unsheltered) and represented 11% of respondents. There was 1 unsheltered Asian homeless person which was less than 1% of respondents. American Indian or Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Alaska Native was 29 (14 sheltered, 15 unsheltered) representing 10% of respondents. Nine (5 sheltered, 4 unsheltered) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander were homeless, which was less than 1% of respondents. Twelve homeless were Hispanic (10 sheltered, 2 unsheltered) which was 3% of the respondents. The percentages of homeless in the various racial and ethnic groups does not vary significantly from the demographic makeup of Fayetteville as a whole. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. The 2020 point -in -time count for Northwest Arkansas indicated that the majority of homeless are sheltered. Fifty-six percent of the 352 respondents were sheltered (172 in emergency shelter, 25 in transitional housing); the remaining 44% (155) were unsheltered. Eighty-nine percent (263) of households did not have children, 5% (16) had at least one adult and one child and 6% (17) were households with only children. Households without children were 51% sheltered (116 emergency shelter, 19 transitional housing) and 49% unsheltered (128). Households with at least one adult and one child were 81% sheltered (11 emergency shelter, 2 transitional housing) and 19% unsheltered (3). Households with only children were 88% sheltered (15 emergency shelter) and 12% unsheltered (2). Thirty-eight percent (133) of respondents were female, 61% (216) were male, and 1% were transgender (3). Both female and male respondents were more likely to be sheltered than not. Sixty-two percent of females were sheltered (70 emergency shelter, 12 transitional housing) with the remaining 38% (51) being unsheltered. Fifty-three percent of males were sheltered (101 emergency shelter, 13 transitional housing) and 47% (102) were unsheltered. One transgender person was sheltered and 2 were unsheltered. Discussion: The Northwest Arkansas Continuum of Care 2020 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 offers more stability. 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 provided information for several subpopulations with four subpopulations showing higher rates of homelessness than the others. 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: persons with Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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.

We work with local service providers for these special needs populations to identify needs. While it is not possible to identify every person in our community that has special needs the information below will provide an overview of the special needs populations in Fayetteville. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: The 2015 - 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates places the number of Fayetteville residents that are 65 years and over at 7,684 which represents 9% of the city's population. Of those 65 and older 42.5% (3.266) are male and the remaining 57.5% (4,418) are female. The ACS estimates the noninstitutionalized population that is 65+ at 7,317 of which 2,370 (32.4%) have a disability. The 2015-2019 ACS 5-Year Estimates indicate that 7,416 (8.8%) of noninstitutionalized Fayetteville residents have a disability. Of those residents under 18 years of age 3.6% (543) have a disability, 7.3% (4,503) of residents 18-64 years of age have a disability, and 32.4% (2,370) of those 65 years and over have a disability. The ACS does not provide information on type and/or severity of disabilities. 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 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gathers information by state. In the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services showed that Arkansas is slightly below the US as a whole for Alcohol Use Disorder and Substance Use Disorder. Arkansas Alcohol Use Disorder among people aged 12 or older was 5.0% (US 5.3%) and Arkansas Substance Use Disorder among people aged 12 or older was 7% (US 7.4%). We were unable to locate HIV/AIDS information specific to the City of Fayetteville. The Arkansas Department of Health tracks HIV/AIDS rates in the state and publishes information on those rates. They do not publish rates by City but do provide information at the County level. The AR Dept. of Health HIV Surveillance Report Arkansas, 2018 indicated that in Washington County 175 persons were living with Stage 3 (AIDS) and 197 persons living with HIV (stages 0, 1 or 2). There are 372 persons with HIV/AIDS in Washington County, which according to the 2015-2019 ACS has a population of 232,289, this is less than one percent (0.16%) of the County population. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The local domestic violence program supports over 1,000 individuals in the community annually. The individuals they serve have a variety of needs as a result of the violence that they have experienced. In 2020, safe shelter was provided to 109 adults and 90 children escaping violence. Housing assistance was provided to 148 families. Legal services, including divorce and child custody representation an assistance with obtaining orders of protection was provided to 358 individuals. Counseling services were provided to 65 survivors of domestic violence and their hotline assisted 1,074 callers. There is not a way to track domestic violence statistics for victims who may have sought assistance from sources outside of the local program such as through a private attorney, local mental health providers, etc. 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 availability, 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. The needs were determined by looking at the types of services identified and provided by local service providers. Examples of some of those support services are listed below. Elderly citizens, especially those that have a disability, 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 also need support, such as an AI - 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: Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 55 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Fayetteville is part of Washington County. We utilized Arkansas Department of Health information, specifically the AR Dept. of Health HIV Surveillance Report Arkansas, 2018. The Arkansas Department of Public Health compiles gender, race/ethnicity, and age information by region (not by City or County). Fayetteville is in the Northwest Public Health Region (Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Conway, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pope, Scott, Searcy, Sebastian, Van Buren, Washington, and Yell counties). The NW Public Health Region identified 1,191 persons living with HIV/AIDS (372 in Washington County); 946 (79.4%) male and 245 (20.6%) female. The race/ethnic distribution of HIV/AIDS in the Northwest Public Health Region was White - 885 (74.3%), Black/African American - 129 (10.8%), Asian/HI/Pacific Islander - 14 (1.2%), Other/Not Specified - 24 (2%), and Hispanic/Latino - 136 (11.4%). The ages of those in the Northwest Public Health Region were; 15 to 24 years - 28 persons (2.4%), 25 to 34 years - 139 persons (11.7%), 35 to 44 years - 227 persons (19.1%), 45 to 54 years - 354 persons (29.7%), 55 to 64 years - 324 persons (27.2%), and 65 years and over - 116 persons (9.7%). Discussion: The City of Fayetteville works with those agencies that provide non -homeless special needs services, primarily through our Subrecipient Grant program, as well as through participation in the CoC, various community committees/workgroups, and participation in community events. These groups and activities provide the opportunity to hear from service providers what the needs of their organizations and the populations they serve are. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 56 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 all buildings, local public facilities need updates and improvements over time. Following is a list of local public facility types that have been funded in the past and would be considered for 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 - any Fayetteville public facility that can show benefit to the LMI community and that they fill a need in the community would be considered. A public facility must be located in Fayetteville and provide services primarily or exclusively to the LMI community in order to request funding for that facility. In addition, the Community Resources Department 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 four public facility buildings. They are currently occupied by Arts Live Theatre, Elizabeth Richardson Center, Ellen Smith Head Start, and LifeSource International. 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. Potential applicants can receive technical assistance prior to the application 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 Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board members review all of the qualified applications then meet to recommend, based on available funding, which 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 CDAP Advisory Board recommending which organization should be awarded the lease. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE S7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The City of Fayetteville does not currently utilize CDBG funds for public improvements and does not anticipate doing so during the 5-years of this Consolidated Plan. The City currently funds public improvements from the general fund. How were these needs determined? N/A 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 - any organization providing public services that can show benefit to the Fayetteville LMI community and that they fill a need in the community would be considered. An organization must provide services primarily or exclusively to the Fayetteville LMI community in order to request funding for public services. How were these needs determined? Each year a competitive Subrecipient Grant process is used to determine which public services 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. Potential applicants can receive technical assistance prior to the application 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 indicate what the current public services needs in our community are. The Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board members review all of the qualified applications then meet to recommend, based on available funding and the public services cap, which of the applicants will be included in the Action Plan. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 58 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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, quality, accessibility 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 Housing Rehabilitation and Repair. 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, Project Based Rental Assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers (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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 contributes to Fayetteville having a high percentage of properties that are renter occupied. Table 32 shows that 62% percent of units are renter occupied with the remaining 38% 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 an influx of new student -centered housing construction. While student -centered housing is needed to ensure that students are housed it does not address the housing needs of the non -students in Fayetteville. All residential properties by number of units Property Type Number % 1-unit detached structure 17,625 49% 1-unit, attached structure 1,355 4% 2-4 units 3,955 11% 5-19 units 9,140 25% 20 or more units 3,525 10% Mobile Home, boat, RV, van, etc 590 2% Total 36,190 100% Table 27 — Residential Properties by Unit Number Data Source: 2013-2017 ACS Unit Size by Tenure Owners Renters Number % Number % No bedroom 15 0% 965 5% 1 bedroom 260 2% 4,840 23% 2 bedrooms 1,280 10% 8,955 43% 3 or more bedrooms 11,330 88% 6,030 29% Total 12,885 100% 20,790 100% Table 28 — Unit Size by Tenure Data Source: 2013-2017 ACS Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs. 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 60 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The Fayetteville Housing Authority is the PHA serving Fayetteville and they have four programs. The Public Housing Program consists of three properties. Hillcrest Towers is a 12-story (98 unit) building with efficiency and one bedroom apartments exclusively for elderly and disabled persons. Willow Heights Apartments is a 50 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Lewis Plaza Apartments is a 46 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. The public housing program has 194 units in use. FHA has 585 vouchers. Morgan Manor is the Project Based Rental Assistance location. It is a 52 unit complex with units ranging from 1-4 bedrooms. The Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) has 474 vouchers being utilized to provide tenant -based housing through participating landlords. The HUD/VASH Program is providing supportive housing for 108 veterans and is run jointly by the Fayetteville Housing Authority and the Fayetteville Veteran's Affairs Office. Life Styles is a local organization that provides a variety of services to individuals with disabilities. The housing component of their services consists of four two -bedroom apartments and eight one -bedroom apartments where clients are provided with supportive services to live as independently as possible. The Walker Family Residential Community (WFRC) is a part of 7hills Homeless Center. In addition to 16 units dedicated to transitional housing, WFRC has 8 studio apartments that provide permanent supportive housing to individuals with disabling conditions. 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. The 2020 Point in Time Count found 251 homeless in Fayetteville. According to the 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates the City of Fayetteville has 2,383 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, quality, and the 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, the NWA CoC, and the evaluations done in the Needs Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan indicate that Fayetteville needs more affordable housing, which includes maintaining the affordable housing stock that currently exists. Some factions of our community look at affordable housing in terms of those who are middle income or higher. This does not acknowledge that there is a lack of affordable housing for low and very Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) low income households, many of whom if they have housing are cost -burdened by it. LMI households that are cost -burdened (30% or more of their income) are often one medical emergency or job loss away from becoming homeless. While the University of Arkansas is an important and valuable part of the community it also means that a lot of new construction is geared toward students. Other new construction that is labeled affordable is geared to young professionals. This results in LMI households that frequently wouldn't qualify for a mortgage and may be cost -burdened by local rents to have difficulty finding and remaining in affordable, quality housing. There is also a need for more transitional and permanent supportive housing to assist those who are homeless to find housing and to have the support needed to maintain being housed. Discussion The 2015-2019 ACS indicates that the number of housing units available is sufficient for the population of Fayetteville; however it does not address other issues such as affordability, quality, and accessibility that contribute to some of our citizens being unhoused and/or unstably housed. Increased enrollment at the University of Arkansas could have potentially led to the number of housing units being inadequate if construction of new student housing wasn't occurring. If increased enrollment were to outpace the availability of student specific housing it could have an impact on the availability of housing units for the non -student population of Fayetteville. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction The cost of housing is always going to be a factor in whether people have housing and if they are cost burdened when they do. Households that are cost burdened are unlikely to be able to put much aside in savings which means that they do not have housing stability. The loss of employment, unexpected medical expenses, or any other significant unexpected expense could put their housing at risk. The Cost of Housing in Fayetteville is analyzed below. Cost of Housing Base Year: 2009 Most Recent Year: 2017 % Change Median Home Value 169,700 193,000 14% Median Contract Rent 524 611 17% Table 29 — Cost of Housing Data Source: 2000 Census (Base Year), 2013-2017 ACS (Most Recent Year) Rent Paid Number % Less than $500 5,955 28.6% $500-999 12,325 59.3 % $1,000-1,499 1,795 8.6 % $1,500-1,999 355 1.7% $2,000 or more 360 1.7% Total 20,790 100.0% Table 30 - Rent Paid Data Source: 2013-2017 ACS Housing Affordability % Units affordable to Households earning Renter Owner 30% HAMFI 810 No Data 50% HAMFI 5,785 640 80% HAMFI 14,010 2,130 100% HAMFI No Data 3,144 Total 20,605 5,914 Table 31— Housing Affordability Data Source: 2013-2017 CHAS Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Monthly Rent Monthly Rent ($) Efficiency (no bedroom) 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom 4 Bedroom Fair Market Rent 579 618 780 1,116 1,350 High HOME Rent 0 0 0 0 0 Low HOME Rent 0 0 0 0 0 Table 32 — Monthly Rent Data Source Comments: Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? The 2015-2019 ACS indicates that there is not sufficient housing for households at all income levels. Sufficient housing for households at all income levels would mean among other things that there are not a high percentage of households that are cost burdened. The 2015-2019 ACS showed the following regarding housing cost burden in Fayetteville. 14.9% of owners with a mortgage are cost burdened; as are 10.5% of owners without a mortgage. The percentage of Fayetteville renters that have a housing cost burden is 50.3%. 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 for better or worse in the immediate future. However, home values and/or rents are affected by the economy and other factors so there is always the possibility for changes that are not currently foreseen. 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 2021 Fair Market Rents for Fayetteville are shown in Table 32. According to the 2015-2019 American Community Survey the majority of housing units in Fayetteville are 2 or 3 bedrooms (32.3% are 2 bedroom and 32.6% are 3 bedroom), the next most common would be 1 or 4 bedrooms (14.6% are 1 bedroom and 14.6% are 4 bedroom), followed by efficiency units with no bedroom (4%), and the remaining 1.8% have 5 or more bedrooms. The 2015-2019 ACS indicates that the median rent in Fayetteville is $799 and the median monthly housing costs for an owner with a mortgage is $1,402. The median rent of $799 is slightly higher ($19) than the Fair Market Rent for a 2 bedroom unit of $780. (NOTE: Using the 2 bedroom unit for comparison due to the majority of units in Fayetteville have 2 or 3 bedrooms combined with the average household size of 2 persons). For comparison the average mortgage payment is higher than the FMR for both a two or three bedroom unit. The ACS shows that 63.4% of occupied housing in Fayetteville is rental and that more than 50% of renters are cost burdened. CDBG funding does not provide a means for us to change the cost burden for renters; therefore, this Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 64 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) data does not impact our strategy regarding affordable housing as our focus remains maintaining the current owner occupied affordable housing stock. Through providing housing rehabilitation and repair to make qualifying LMI owner occupied homes more energy efficient and safer the cost burden for those homeowners is reduced and the homes are maintained for future occupants. Discussion The Cost of Housing analysis reinforces that cost burden is an issue in Fayetteville, particularly in rental units. In response, the City of Fayetteville will continue to keep maintaining the stock of affordable housing units through rehabilitation/repair as a priority. Housing rehabilitation/repair reduces the cost burden to current homeowners by making homes more energy efficient thus maintaining the affordable housing stock for future owners. Housing rehabilitation/repair also prevents the possibility of homelessness by keeping homes from falling into significant and unsafe disrepair. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 15% of owner occupied units have one selected condition and that 46% of renter occupied units have one selected condition. Less than one percent of owner occupied units have two or more selected conditions and 1% 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 35 indicates that 35% of owner -occupied and 23% of renter -occupied 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 24% of owner -occupied and 7% of renter -occupied have children present. According to the 2015-2019 American Community Survey 2,383 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.

The majority of the owner -occupied housing units in Fayetteville (8,470 units/66%) are 22 years or older. Thirty-five percent of those (4,520 units) are 42 years or older. As owner -occupied housing units age the potential need for rehabilitation and/or repair increases, especially for housing units owned by LMI qualified homeowners. The percentages for the ages of rental properties are very similar to that of owner -occupied; however, since our program only provides rehabilitation and repair for owner -occupied homes it is not being looked at with the same level of detail. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 67 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards We do not have the data available to estimate how many owner -occupied housing units owned by LMI families may have LBP hazards. The information in Table 35 indicates that 35% of owner -occupied housing units were built prior to 1980 and therefore may have a risk of lead -based paint hazards. 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 2015 - 2019 American Community Survey indicates that there are 2,383 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 less than 100 REO properties in Fayetteville. The City of Fayetteville CDBG Program only provides rehabilitation and repair to owner - occupied homes. 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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 68 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-25 Public and Assisted Housing — 91.210(b) Introduction The Fayetteville Housing Authority is the PHA serving Fayetteville. We work closely with the Fayetteville Housing Authority and they provided and/or confirmed the information used to complete this section of the Consolidated Plan. The Fayetteville Housing Authority has the following programs: Public Housing, Project Based Rental Assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and HUD/VASH. The Public Housing program consists of three properties. Hillcrest Towers is a 12-story (98 unit) building with efficiency and one bedroom apartments exclusively for elderly and disabled persons. Willow Heights Apartments is a 50 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Lewis Plaza Apartments is a 46 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. The Public Housing program has 194 units in use. FHA has 585 vouchers. Morgan Manor is the Project Based Rental Assistance location. It is a 52 unit complex with apartments ranging from 1-4 bedrooms. The Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) has 474 vouchers being utilized to provide tenant -based housing through participating landlords.

Some of the specific restoration and revitalization plans that the Fayetteville Housing Authority has in the five-year plan are: Lewis Plaza has failing foundations, therefore, over the next 5 years plans will be made to demolish existing units, rebuild the units as public housing, and add private mixed -income development to better utilize the land. Willow Heights needs significant modernization of existing units. Additionally, the land use will be improved by adding mixed -income private development on a portion of the land. This will be done to enhance the experience of the existing tenants as well as make additional units available at every income spectrum. Hillcrest Towers is working with City of Fayetteville to increase density during an infrastructure improvement plan that is adjacent to the property. As a result, plans are being made to add additional buildings and units. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low - and moderate -income families residing in public housing: The Fayetteville Housing Authority's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate -income families residing in public housing includes: implementing measures to deconcentrate poverty; increase the availability of decent, safe, and affordable housing; improve community quality of life and economic vitality; promote self-sufficiency and asset development for families and individuals; and ensuring equal opportunity in housing. Discussion: The Fayetteville Housing Authority provides Public Housing, Project Based Rental Assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers (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 Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 71 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) City of Fayetteville will continue to consult and work with the Fayetteville Housing Authority to meet the needs of our community.

Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) Community Resources provides support for services that assist persons who are not homeless but have other special needs through our Subrecipient Grant Program. The Subrecipient Grant Program 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 GY2021 the Action Plan includes organizations that provide services to persons that are not homeless which, advocate for abused youth; support survivors of trauma, addiction and incarceration; provide medical and dental care; and provide mentoring and educational support to youth.

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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 79 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-45 Non -Housing Community Development Assets — 91.215 (f) Introduction The City of Fayetteville does not utilize CDBG funding for economic development. The City has an Economic Vitality Department which is the City's primary economic development arm and serves as a liaison from the City to the contracted entities providing economic development services (Startup Junkie Consulting and the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce), as well as to the business community. This section of the Consolidated Plan will analyze the non -housing community development assets of the City of Fayetteville.

The Business Activity table (Table 40) above indicates that the major employment sectors in Fayetteville are: arts/entertainment/accommodations (20% of jobs/18% of workers), education and health care Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 83 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) services (20% of jobs/17% of workers), retail trade (19% of jobs/15% of workers), and professional/scientific/management services (7% of jobs/13% of workers). 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 86%, high school graduate (including equivalency) has an 90% employment rate, some college or Associate's degree a 94% employment rate, and Bachelor's or higher degree has a 97% employment rate. If the skills and education of the workforce didn't correspond to the needs of 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, the City's Economic Vitality Department has workforce development as one of the services offered. There are also organizations in our community that provide job skills programs, and educational opportunities are available through Northwest Arkansas Community College. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 84 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes 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 has an Economic Vitality Department which is the City's primary economic development arm and serves as a liaison from the City to the contracted entities providing economic development services (Startup Junkie Consulting and the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce), as well as to the business community. Their current project is The Economic Recovery and Vitality Plan. This plan will focus on economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as four other strategic focus areas: workforce development, equity and inclusion for populations facing barriers to economic mobility, small business support and growth, and growth concept oriented economic development (workforce housing and the creation of jobs). The plan has just begun development so it is too early to know what the impact on economic growth will be. We did not identify any other current local/regional plans or initiatives 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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 85 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion 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 opportunities identified, since we did not identify any area of significant concentration. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 86 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate -Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2) Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate -income households and neighborhoods. The 2015-2019 American Community Survey shows that 84.2% of households had a broadband internet connection. We were unable to find data regarding the income levels of the households with broadband connections but it does stand to reason that LMI households may have a harder time affording internet access. The City of Fayetteville is working to improve equitable access to digital services and programs and has a Digital Inclusion Plan in development. As part of this process the City has created public Wi-Fi networks which are available in all City buildings and public parks. Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. Fayetteville has more than one broadband internet service provider for consumers to choose from. Cox Communications, Ozarks Go and AT&T are the best known of the options. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 87 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3) Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. In 2018 the City of Fayetteville partnered with the University of Arkansas to do a Fayetteville Climate Resilience Assessment. The assessment identified three potential climate change hazards for our area: 1) Extreme Heat 2) Extreme Rainfall and Flooding 3) Extreme Drought Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate -income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods. The assessment did not specifically look at the risks of housing occupied by LMI households. The assessment did identify marginalized and at -risk populations (primarily low income and homeless) as being particularly vulnerable to heat, drought stress, and extreme flooding. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 88 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview The City developed the Strategic Plan utilizing a variety of sources including: census data, public input/consultation with service providers, the needs assessment, and the market analysis. These sources were used to determine the priority needs, goals and other aspects of the strategic plan that are outlined in the following sections. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 89 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) SP-10 Geographic Priorities — 91.215 (a)(1) Geographic Area 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 Program is available to elderly and/or disabled Fayetteville residents. Public Services and Public Facilities projects are funded throughout the City based upon their ability to show their proposal meets HUD guidelines, benefits the Fayetteville LMI population and recommendation by the Community Development and Assistance Programs (CDAP) Advisory Board.

HUD has a cap on the amount of CDBG funds that can be spent on administration and planning and Community Resources budgets to remain under that cap. Basis for Administration and planning are necessary components of overseeing CDBG Relative program activities and projects. Priority 2 Priority Need Housing Name Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Large Families Families with Children Elderly Geographic Areas Affected Associated Housing Goals Description Maintaining the affordable housing stock through housing rehabilitation and repair. This allows LMI homeowners to stay in their homes by bringing the homes up to city code and making them more energy efficient. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 91 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Basis for Maintaining the affordable housing stock through housing rehabilitation and Relative repair allows LMI homeowners to stay in their homes (prevents homelessness) by Priority bringing the homes up to city code and making them more energy efficient which reduces the cost burden on the LMI homeowner. 3 Priority Need Redevelopment Name Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Large Families Families with Children Elderly Geographic Areas Affected Associated Redevelopment Goals Description The Redevelopment Program provides assistance in correcting code violations. Redevelopment recognizes that an additional economic strain is potentially placed on the low- to moderate- income homeowners who are financially and/or physically unable to correct code violations. Redevelopment also takes the lead on community outreach activities. Basis for The Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, consultation with local Relative organizations/service providers, and program experience show that assistance Priority correcting code violations prevents LMI citizens from incurring the additional costs associated with being unable to address a code violation themselves. The Redevelopment program is also often a stepping stone to a homeowner accessing the Housing Rehabilitation and Repair program. 4 Priority Need Public Services Name Priority Level High Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 92 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Large Families Families with Children Elderly Public Housing Residents Chronic Homelessness Individuals Families with Children Mentally III Chronic Substance Abuse veterans Persons with HIV/AIDS Victims of Domestic Violence Unaccompanied Youth Elderly Frail Elderly Persons with Mental Disabilities Persons with Physical Disabilities Persons with Developmental Disabilities Persons with Alcohol or Other Addictions Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families Victims of Domestic Violence Non -housing Community Development Geographic Areas Affected Associated Public Services Goals Description Public services provided to LMI residents; internally through the City of Fayetteville Transportation Program and externally through the Subrecipient Grant Program for non -profits providing services to LMI Fayetteville residents.

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 housing needs for Low and Moderate Income (LMI) persons and families. The City of Fayetteville has been helping homeowners with rehabilitation of their homes for over 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 Community Development. The Transportation Program provides assistance to LMI, disabled and/or elderly members of our community. 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 assistance with maintaining and/or updating those facilities. The CDBG Subrecipient Grant Program competitive grant application process has a Public Facilities component to help meet those needs.

Production Rehabilitation The needs assessment and market analysis show that cost burden is an issue in Fayetteville. Therefore, maintaining affordable housing stock is an identified priority. The City of Fayetteville utilizes CDBG funds to maintain affordable housing stock through rehabilitation and repair of LMI owner occupied homes in Fayetteville. In addition to maintaining the affordable housing stock, rehabilitation and repair makes homes more energy efficient which reduces the cost burden to the current homeowner. Rehabilitation/repair also eliminates unsafe conditions in the home which if left unchecked could result in a homeowner losing their home and potentially becoming homeless. Acquisition, We do not plan to use CDBG funds for acquisition during the duration of this including Consolidated Plan. preservation Table 49 — Influence of Market Conditions Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 96 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The City of Fayetteville recognizes that there are fluctuations in the annual allocation of CDBG funds and in the amount of program income taken in annually.

There are times when subrecipients are able to utilize their CDBG award to leverage additional funding into their programs. The Hearth Program Case Managers are funded through CDBG which is used as match for the SNAPS grants that provide housing assistance to the formerly homeless. If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Fayetteville has four properties that were purchased with CDBG funds and are utilized in our CDBG Public Facility Lease Program. When one of the four buildings become available it is 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 Fayetteville 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.

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 - 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, wrap around case management), Mills 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) Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 100 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Transitional Housing Programs - 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 - Burrell Behavioral Health [formerly 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, job training, 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 are 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.

Activities to Increase Resident Involvements 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 two family complexes (Willow Heights and Lewis Plaza) are implementing neighborhood watch programs in cooperation with the Fayetteville Police Department which will increase resident involvement in keeping their complexes safe. FHA also plans to conduct regular "Love Where You Live" community meetings to receive feedback from residents of Willow Heights and Lewis Plaza.

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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 106 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) SP-60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.215(d) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City's participation/partnership with 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 the homeless population. For example, our annual CDBG in the Park event is widely attended by homeless persons who, in addition to eating lunch, have an opportunity to learn more about our programs and the 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. 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. The Hearth Program provides permanent supportive housing and wrap around case management to homeless and chronically homeless individuals and families. 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 help low-income individuals and families avoid homelessness. In Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 107 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 108 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 HUD 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. 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 35% of owner occupied housing units in the City of Fayetteville may have a risk of lead -based paint hazards 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. HUD's LBP regulations and protocols are applied to all homes in the housing rehabilitation/repair program. 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.

When needed the City of Fayetteville Building Safety Division will provide monitoring for compliance to building ordinances. All building ordinances must be met prior to final payment on all housing rehabilitation projects. Follow-up visits will be made to all housing rehabilitation project sites. SUBRECIPIENT GRANTEE ACTIVITIES will be monitored by Community Development staff. Subrecipient agreements will be required for all public service and public facility 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 policy/procedure guidelines. LEAD BASED PAINT hazard reduction will be monitored by CDBG Housing Program staff. Rehabilitation projects are evaluated and tested for lead -based paint hazards in accordance with the City of Fayetteville lead -based paint policy. The policy has been established based on current federal regulations for lead -based paint. This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis by Community Development staff. GRANTEE MONITORING Division staff continue to take all necessary steps to ensure compliance with program requirements. All activities are looked at on an individual basis to determine what regulations are applicable and how they should be met. Division staff receive on -going training to develop the knowledge and skills to operate and comply with program requirements.

Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 128 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h) Introduction The Fayetteville Housing Authority is the public housing provider in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Housing Authority has the following programs: Public Housing, Project Based Rental Assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers (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 in GY2021. 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 two family complexes (Willow Heights and Lewis Plaza) are implementing neighborhood watch programs in cooperation with the Fayetteville Police Department which will increase resident involvement in keeping their complexes safe. FHA also plans to conduct regular "Love Where You Live" community meetings to receive feedback from residents of Willow Heights and Lewis Plaza. The FHA 5-year plan indicates they have a goal to implement homeownership programs. 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, including FHA having the option to apply for assistance through the competitive Subrecipient Grant Application process. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 129 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 active participation in the NWA Continuum of Care (membership, board, committees, and case conferencing) 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 the homeless. 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. When Fayetteville Animal Services offers vaccination/microchip clinics for the homeless Community Resources staff attends to provide information about Ranger's Pantry Pet Food Bank. These community events and activities also provide homeless persons the opportunity to share with us what their needs are. 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. 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. The City of Fayetteville will, during the period of Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 130 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) this action plan, help homeless persons make the transition to permanent supportive 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. One GY2021 subrecipient, Genesis Church (part of Central United Methodist Church) will be providing rapid rehousing assistance to homeless individuals and families. 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 method that the City has to help low-income individuals and families receive assistance from other agencies. This action plan includes funding for programs that will address LMI youth needs in our community. The youth centered programs will be offered by CASA of NWA (advocacy for abused and neglected children), LifeSource (afterschool care and summer day camp), Yvonne Richardson Community Center (mentoring and educational programming), and OneCommunity (family literacy program). Low-income individuals will receive assistance from Welcome Health (medical and dental care). Homeless will receive assistance from Genesis Church (rapid rehousing). Survivors of trauma, addiction, and incarceration will be assisted by Magdalene Serenity House (residential support services. 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. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 131 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j) Introduction: In February of 2016 an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) 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 and responding to any proposed public policy changes that could create a barrier to affordable housing. Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 132 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 broadly describes the actions planned to address the various areas.

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/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/repair projects the City does adhere to HUD's 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 allocates CDBG funds to activities that assist poverty level families in Fayetteville. Specific activities are 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, literacy, after school, and summer programs for LMI children. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The Community Resources Department (CR) of the City of Fayetteville oversees the CDBG programming for our community. CR administers the internal housing, redevelopment and transportation programs that are 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 Consolidated Plan FAYETTEVILLE 133 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 partner and 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.
