The first memo recommends strategies for the five year consolidated plan. This plan prioritizes the needs in the county a..r¡d will be used to review requests for these monies. There will be a public hearing on the priorities (goals) on February 22, 2000. Late last year I responded to a survey from the county expressing Chanhassen's greatest needs. The goals then contemplate a summary of all the communities as well as those of Hennepin County. 1 feel it unnecessary to comment further on the goals or the plan. The second memo is the schedule for the CDBG application. Because we are now in the consolidated pool, we have the opportunity to compete for up to $444,777. Obviously, the highest priority is given to affordable housing projects. It would be my suggestion that the council give this some consideration. Eligible activities include: acquisition of property, development related infrastructure, development soft costs, down payment assistance for first time home buyers and rehabilitation of existing units. The city also has the ability to pool with other communities. Based on past experiences, the first time home buyer has not worked well because of the cost of new homes, nor has the rehab loans. With the possibility ofPulte Homes being developed, there may be an opportunity to provide some assistance through development soft costs, infrastructure costs or the possibility of down payment assistance based on the price of the units. I am looking for direction from the council. Do they have any suggestions for an application? Attachments: 1. Hennepin County Memo dated January 24, 2000 2.

HUD funding for these programs is anticipated to be $25 million over five years. The plan is also used as a guide for some other federal, state, local and private funding for housing. Comments are being solicited during a 30-day public comment period ending on or about February 22, 2000. All written comments received during this time period and/or at the public hearing will be included in the plan. A public hearing on the draft plan and progress in implementing the existing plan has tentatively been scheduled for February 22,2000 by the Hennepin County Board. The final five-year plan will be submitted to HUD with the 2000 action plan in May 2000. A separate public comment and public hearing process will be used for the action plan. The action plan identifies specific uses for HUD entitlement funding. A summary of chauges proposed in the draft plan is attached. If you would like a copy of the draft plan or have any questions, please contact your CDBG representative. The draft plan is also available on the county web site at httn://www.co.hennenin.mn.us/oDd.

The plan identifies suburban ~ountywide housing and community development needs, priorities and goals for a five-ýear time period. The plan is used to focus HUD resonrces and other federal, state and local resources on high priority needs. This work culminated in a draft plan, including goals, priorities, and strategies, that is available for public comment until February 22, 2000 when the County Board has tentatively scheduled a public hearing. Following the public hearing it's anticipated the Board will consider approval of the plan and authorize its submission to HUD. New Plan for 2000-2004 Efforts to update the 1995-99 Consolidated Plan for program years 2000-2004 are in their final stages. Work began last sununer and has included meeting with participating cities and other organizations, agencies and interested persons. In addition, a survey and questionnaire on housing and community development needs and priorities was sent to these interest groups and housing needs data has been updated wherever possible. Draft Priorities for 2000-2004 With a few exceptions, the draft housing and community development priorities are the same as the current ones. Proposed changes to current priorities include; fair housing and tenant/landlord counseling changed to high priority from medium priority, and assisting micro-business enterprise changed to low priority from medium priority. A summary of draft priorities and goals by strategy is shown in an attached table. In addition to identifying priorities and strategies for renter and owner-occupied households and homeownership, the summary shows priorities for persons with special needs requiring supportive housing and public service categories for families, seniors, youth, and transportation. Nei!!hborhood Revitalization Strate!!V A new strategy has been developed for neighborhood revitalization activities that address slum or blight issues on scattered sites and in defined areas-- CDBG assisted activities associated with neighborhood revitalization projects that include the removal of blighted housing will be considered a high priority only when a minimnm of20 percent of any housing created or rehabbed through redevelopment will be affordable to low and moderate income households.

The following items have been included to assist communities in the process of selecting activities for CDBG funding: 2000 Consolidated Plan Schedule Map of Consolidated Pool Communities Five Year Priority Needs Summary List of CDBG Eligible Activities . Application Form Consolidated Pool Application Review Criteria Sample Resolution The 2000 Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program allocation is $3.467 million. This is a $15,000 decrease fÌ'om 1999 funding. Recaptured 1997 CDBG funds totaling $20,940 have been added to the community planning allocations. All cities that had funds recaptured have been notified. Using a separate solicitation process, the county is also requesting proposals for the use of $1.798 million in HOME funds and $123,000 in ESG funds. If your city, a nonprofit emergency shelter and/or service provider, or transitional housing provider would like more information regarding the ESG program, please contact Mark Hendrickson at 541-7084. All cities will be receiving a separate notification for the HOME Program. Please contact Sarah Bellefuil (541-7089) if you would like additional information regarding the HOME Program. CONSOLIDATED POOL This is the fourth year of the Consolidated Pool process and the first year of the 2000-2002 Joint Cooperation Agreement. Under this agreement, planning allocations to communities that would receive $75,000 or less have been placed into a Consolidated Pool. In accordance with this agreement, a total of $444,779 in CDBG funding has been made available for Consolidated Pool communities. The twenty-nine communities included in the Pool are identified on the enclosed map. Hennepin County Office of planning & Development, Development Planning Unit, 10709 WayzatJl Boulevard, Suitc 260, Minnetonka, MN 55305 Mail Code: 604 Phonc: (612) 541-7080 Fax: (612) 541-7090 TDDrITY: (612) 541-7981 SELECl70N COMMl1TEE A selection committee, comprised of representatives fÌ'om Consolidated Pool cities, has been created to assist with the application process. The cOmmittee will review applications and prepare funding recommendations to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners. APPliCATION PROCESS All applications must meet HUD eligibility criteria and must be consistent with the endorsed Hennepin County housing and community development priorities. The selection cOmmittee has established review criteria by which all applications will be ranked. A copy of these criteria is attached. Communities are encouraged to review these criteria carefully in preparing their applications. The following procedures have been established by the selection committee to simplifÿ the application process: 1. Single-family residential rehabilitation has a set-aside of$155,000. This figure approximates the annual average amount programmed for rehabilitation by the Consolidated Pool, plus the city of Mound, over the last three years. This amount will be available to assist households in any of the Consolidated Pool communities on a first-come, first-serve basis. Only households living in the Consolidated Pool area will be eligible for these set-aside rehabilitation funds. If a city wishes to target rehabilitation funding as part of a neighborhood revitalization effort, they may apply for separate funding. 2. Public services and public service organizations will be applyIng directly to the Consolidated Pool selection committee for CDBG funding. A public service set-aside of$66,779 has been established. For more than a decade, participating communities have had the flexibility of using up to 20 percent of their CDBG planning allocation to fund public services although the countywide cap established by HUD is 15 percent. The problem with continuing this flexibility is that HUD calculates compliance with the 15 percent cap based on total public service expenditures at the end of the program year. It has become increasing difficult for the county to provide this flexibility to the cities and at the same time ensure compliance with the HUD cap. Therefore, beginning in program year 2000 the Consolidated Pool will be limited to a 15 percent cap on public services. 3. The balance of funds-$223,000_will be available for CDBG projects initiated by individual cities or clusters of cities. Only those 29 Communities that comprise the Consolidated Pool are eligible to compete for these funds. The minimum project cost Is $7,500. Individual communities may submit up to three project applications, but the accompanying resolution must indicate council-assigned priority. 4. Communities are strongly encouraged to develop joint initiatives to address mutual needs by consolidating their resources into cluster projects. This is particularly true where several communities may join together on affordable housing initiatives. CONSOLIDATED PLAN This is the sixth year the CDBG Annual Action Plan is being developed under the Consolidated Plan process. HUD instituted this process as a replacement for the independent planning and submission for the CDBG, HOME, Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Programs and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Henncpin County Office of PIa mUng & Development, Development Planning Unit, 10709 Way:ata Boulevard, Suitc 260, Minnetonka, MN 55305 Mail Code: 604 Phone: (612) 541-7080 Fax: (612) 541-7090 TDDrrry: (612) 541.7981 (CHAS). The Plan is intended to guide communities in the preparation of a comprehensive vision of housing and community development New Plan for 2000-2004 Efforts to update the 1995-99 Consolidated Plan for program years 2000-2004 are in their fmal stages. Work began last summer and has included meeting with participating cities and other organizations, agencies and interested persons. In addition, a survey and questionnaire on housing and community development needs and priorities was sent to these interest groups and housing needs data has been updated wherever possible. This work culminated in a draft plan, including goals, priorities, and strategies, that is available for public comment until February 22, 2000 when the County Board has tentatively scheduled a public hearing. Following the public hearing it is anticipated the Board will consider approval of the plan and authorize its submission to HUD. Although there may be changes in the final Plan, the 2000 applications will be reviewed against needs, goals and priorities found in the new Plan. (If changes are made that will affect this review, both applicants and the committee will be informed as soon as possible. If these changes take place after the applications have been received, applicants will be given an opportunity to revise their applications.) Draft Priorities for 2000-2004 The draft 2000-2004 housing and community development priorities are similar to the 1995-1999 priorities. Proposed changes to current priorities include; fair housing and tenant/landlord counseling changing to high priority from medium priority, and micro-business changing to a low priority fÌ'om a medium priority. A summary of draft priorities and goals by strategy is shown in an attached table. In addition to identifying priorities and strategies for renter and owner-occupied households and homeownership, the summary shows priorities for persons with special needs requiring supportive housing and for public services categories (family, seniors, youth, transportation). The housing needs of populations needing supportive housing is more fully discussed in the draft Five-year Consolidated Plan. A new strategy has been developed for neighborhood revitalization activities that address slum or blight issues on scattered sites and in defined areas. As proposed in the draft plan, beginning with program year 2000, CDBG-assisted activities associated with neighborhood revitalization projects (removal of slumlblight properties) will only be considered a high priority when a minimum of 20 percent of any housing created or rehabbed through redevelopment will be affordable to low and moderate income households. This would apply to scattered-site as well as area sIumlblight activities. The reason for this change is to better focus CDBG funding on activities consistent with priorities and to reduce the amount of CDBG used for non-low and moderate income benefit activities. See section below on Low and Moderate Income Benefit Countywide priorities should be used as a guide when you consider the use of CDBG funds to address local needs. The county will consider the relationship of proposed projects to countywide priorities in the evaluation of proposals. If you propose to use CDBG funds for a project that does not have a high countywide priority, you must clearly demonstrate why the project has a higher priority In your community. COUNTYWIDE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES Below is a summary of the countywide priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan. The priorities were developed using the results of the 2000 survey of participating communities (surveys were received rrom 26 cities, representing more than 85 percent of the urban county population), 1990 housing and demographic data, newer data where available, and Comments fÌ'om housing providers and advocates. A detailed list of priorities by type of activity' is enclosed. The countywide pl~~ be uscdas a guide when you consider the use of CDBG funds to address local needs. The county -wiJI çnn~""" the relationship of proposed projects to countywide priorities in evaluating projects for CDBG fimding. If you propose to use CDBG ñmds for a project that does not have a high countywide priority. you must clearly demODStlate why the projcct has a higher priority in your community. HOUSING Rental and Supportive Housing: plaming, site acquisition, related inftastructure for development of new units and rehabilitation of existing units for low-income households (less than 50 percent of median income). Homeownership: plaming, site acquisition, related inftastructures, downpayment assistance for low-income, first-time homebuyers and rehabilitation of existing units occupied by low-income households. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Neighborhood redevelopment/revitalization, senior centers, removal of architectural barriers! ADA compliance, lead-based paint abatement and planning activities to address housing and community revitalization needs. AFFORDABLE HOUSING As identified in the Consolidated Plan and other studies, there is a significant need in suburban Hennepin County for affordable housing for low-income households. Affordable housing, appropriate to the needs of different types of households, has been Identified as a high priority for the use ofHUD resources in the Consolidated Plan. Activities are encouraged that will develop or improve housing for low-income households, assist persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, persons with disabilities, families with children and the elderly. The CDBG Progr.un is an important resource to assist communities in addressing the critical need for affordable housing. Hil!:h orioritv activities for CDBG fimdinsr Affordable Housing: ./ Rental hOltsing for families with income below 50 percent of median income. ./ Rental /¡ousingfor elderly.and physically disabled persons with income below 30 percent of median income. ./ Permanem mpponive housing for persons with mmtQJ Blness. ./ Rehabi/itaJion of --oa:upied housing wù/¡ income below 50 percent of median income ./ Homeownership assistance to households with income below 50 percent of median income Eligible activiti!:s include: acquisition of property, development related inftastructure, development soft- costs, downpayment assistaIu:e for first-time homebuyers, and rehabilitation of existing units. Public ServiceslFacillties aud Neighborhood Revitalization: ~ Public services and/or facilities to assist families and seniors to maintain and/ or increase self- sufficiency and independent living (including transportation). and to assist youth and their families with counseling and crisis intervention services and recreational activities. ~ Neighborhood revitalization activities that address issues of substandardlblighted property in scattered site and defined area redevelopment and,provide affordable housing on 20 percent of the units. General planning activities and the removal of architectural barriers will be considered a low CDBG fundiDl~ nrioritv. unless the activity is directly related to an otherwise eligible housing and/or community development activity. The purpose of this change, which began with the 1997 program, is to focus funding on activities consistent with CDBG priorities. LOW/MODERATE-INCOME BENEFIT The authorizing statutes for the CDBG program requires that each funded activity meet one of the three national objectives: benefiting low and moderate-income persons; preventing or eliminating slums and or blight; and meeting urgent needs. The statute also states that each grantee must ensure that at least 70 percent of the expenditures during the program year must be used for activities benefiting very iow and low-income persons. In the past, the county has managed this requirement and subrecipient cities did not have to meet this requirement. Due to an increase in the amount of funds allocated to and expended on non-low income benefit activities removing or preventing slums or blight, the county is no longer able to ensure that it can meet this statutory requirement. Therefore, for non-Pool cities, beginning in program year 2000, each city individually will have to meet this low-income benefit requirement. For the Consolidated Pool this translates into the requirement that 70 percent of all Pool funds will have to benefit low-income persons. Individual projects may be slumlblight oriented as long as the total dollar cost of these projects does not exceed 30 percent of the Pool total. While the Consolidated Pool has not funded any slumlblight projects in the past, several communities have recently indicated an interest in such projects. Therefore, this 70 percent rule should be noted. HUD allows urban Hennepin County CDBG funds to be used for eligible area benefit activities in census tracts where the percent of low and moderate-income persons are 37 percent or more. This is an exception to the requirement that a majority of persons in an area must be low and moderate-income. Maps have been provided to communities with qualifying census tract block groups. Please contact your CDBG representative if you need a map or have a question about eligible low and moderate-income benefit activities. AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING As recipients ofHUD funds, Hennepin County and each subrecipient community have agreed to affirmatively further fair housing. Hennepin County encourages all communities to be pro-active in addressing conditions that create impediments to fair housing choice. As a potential condition to receiving future funds, HUD will evaluate our efforts to further fair housing choice. To continue countywide efforts to address barriers, Hennepin County plans on allocating $30,000 fÌ'om its administrative budget for fair housing services. Services will include fair housing choice outreach, counseling and referral services, training and education programs and enforcement of fair housing laws and ordinances. TIMELINESS HUD requires that CDBG funding be expended in a timely manner. This past program year has shown a slower than expected rate of expendi11ur: of CDBG funds ~ong with a higher than expected rate of program income.
