Executive Summary

Program Year 1 CAPER Executive Summary response:

The Year 1 Action Plan provided the basis and strategy for the use of federalfunds granted to the City of Medford by the U.S. Department of Housing and

Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) program. The plan identified proposed objectives and outcomes forthe first program year of the Five Year Consolidated Plan, for the period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. The City of Medford received$1,899,022.00 in CDBG funds, an increase of $146,738.00 from the prioryear. This CAPER will provide an assessment of the City’s progress onmeeting those goals and objectives along with describing the use anddistribution of funds.

The primary objective of the program is to develop viable communities andmeet the needs of low and moderate income residents. Through a broad

range of activities a suitable living environment, decent, safe, and sanitaryhousing and economic opportunities are provided.

The City of Medford, under the leadership of the Mayor, administersCommunity Development Block Grant funds through the Office of CommunityDevelopment. In the applicable planning processes, the City identified anumber of needs and prepared a plan that best suited addressing thoseneeds within the limits of available resources. Efforts in the first programyear were focused on public service delivery, housing, historic preservationand public facilities and improvements.

Public service programs provided a range of services for Medford residents

including legal aid, food pantry and meals, referral and counseling services,services for the elderly, elementary after-school care, as well as vocational,social, recreational and educational opportunities for developmentallydisabled residents and their families.

This year the City continued to support successful programs utilizing fundsawarded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(ARRA). The City received $716,681.00 for Homelessness Prevention and



CITY OF MEDFORD

3 Version 2.0

Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP). This program targets those at risk of homelessness and those who are already experiencing homelessness andneed temporary assistance to obtain and retain housing. Through June 30,2011, one hundred and sixty-two households received HPRP assistance,$514,265 was expended and an additional $100,000.00 was committed forthe continued service to these households.

The City also continued to use CDBG-R ARRA funding of $468,464.00 forinfrastructure improvements, expending $47,306.35 for road reconstructionon Braemore Road. This project is well underway with an expectedcompletion in fall 2011.

In addition to the CDBG-R project mentioned above, CDBG funding wasexpended on several street, sidewalk and infrastructure improvementprojects in Year 1. Hancock and Orchard Streets and Lyman Avenue projectwas completed. Bow Street, Kilsyth Road Revere Place was completed.Alexander, Bradshaw, Cushing and Pembroke Street project is designed and

will begin construction in summer of 2011.

A project to reconstruct handicapped accessible ramps on Riverside Avenuewas completed, with $44,850.00 expended. Also, design is underway toprovide handicapped access to Edgerly Field located at Medford High School.

A project to provide handicapped accessible wheelchair ramps at WalklingCourt, an elderly/disabled State Aided public housing development wascompleted, expending $25,000.00 of CDBG funds. Additionally, in Year 36,$150,000.00 was reallocated for flooring installation to preserve 144 units of affordable housing at Walkling Court, a state elderly/disabled public housing

development. Phase I of this project, which will complete half of the units, iswell underway and expected to be completed by fall 2011. Phase II willbegin once Phase I is complete; this phase will complete the remaining units.

The City continues to work with non-profit developers to increase affordablehousing. Medford Community Housing, a Community DevelopmentOrganization, and Housing Corporation of Arlington are working with acommunity church to explore redevelopment of the existing parsonage. Thisproject would create 2 to 3 restricted affordable housing units. MedfordCommunity Housing is also in the process of completing a financial feasibilitystudy on a five-unit property that would create five units of affordablerestricted housing for households at 60% or less median income.

Historic preservation work on the restoration of gravestones at the SalemStreet Burying Ground in Medford Square is near completion and expected tobe completed during the fall of 2011.

A program was implemented to provide loans and financial counseling to

micro-enterprise businesses. This program was very successful, providing



CITY OF MEDFORD

loans and support services to five low to moderate income micro-enterprisebusinesses in Medford.

Using leveraged funding from the Massachusetts Opportunity Relocation andExpansion (MORE) grant the City has completed 70% design plans for theproposed parking garage in Medford Square. The City is continuing to workon design completion and funding of the facility.

The City has moved forward with implementation of the Medford SquareMaster Plan and, working with MassDOT, has completed the Phase I of therelocation of Clippership Drive. Additionally, the City has secured Statefunding and completed the new riverside Clippership Park on the open spaceparcel created by the relocation.

BEDI grant.

The City’s long-term goal, relative to the River’s Edge Project Section 108loan, was to create 42 jobs , with 51% (21.5) made available to low ormoderate income individuals. Monitoring is conducted by the Mystic ValleyDevelopment Commission (MVDC). As of December 31, 2010, 171 new jobshad been created and, of these, 7 are held by low income persons and 42 bymoderate income persons. Thus, the City has met the job requirement goalof its Section 108 agreement with HUD.

Within the River’s Edge project, construction was also completed on a 222-

unit residential apartment building that is now fully occupied. Thirty-fourunits are designated for residents earning up to 120% of median income.While not meeting HUD criteria for affordable housing, these units areavailable at below market rate. In addition, construction on a 5,000 squarefoot commercial building is ongoing. Design of the Air Force Road/NormanStreet Reconstruction Project has been completed and construction hascommenced.

Medford SquareUsing leveraged funding from the $800,000.00 Massachusetts OpportunityRelocation and Expansion grant Massachusetts Department of Housing andUrban Development and working with the Massachusetts DevelopmentFinance Agency the City completed a feasibility for a new parking garage inMedford Square. The City further progressed to hire an Owners ProjectManager and an architect and developed 70% plans for the new garage.

Final plans for the garage are expected to be completed in early October2011. The work has leveraged the opening of a restaurant in the Square,with the creation of 30 full time and 29 part time jobs.

The City has made additional progress in the implementation of the MedfordSquare Master Plan completing the Phase I realignment of Clippership Drive,using a federal earmark for $900,000.00, ARRA funds of $1,000,00.00 andan EDI grant for $199,000.00. Implementation of the project resulted in thecreation of a ½-acre parcel of land with 1000 feet of riverfront access in thesquare, handicapped accessible sidewalks, ramps and crosswalks, stormwater improvement, parking and landscaping. Additionally, using a State

earmark of $250,000.00, the City has opened up views of the river anddeveloped a riverside park with walkways, lighting, seating areas,landscaping and interpretive signage on this new parcel.

The City has secured $707,904.00 in funding for a feasibility study forconstruction of a water taxi dock and service at this location and hopes tobegin work on this in the near future.

The City also made considerable progress in the redevelopment of the MysticRiver Reservation on Route 16 in Medford (referred to as Condon Shell Park).The City secured a total of $693,000.00 in EDI special projects funding in2006 for the renovation and development of an outdoor theatre/park on the

The City utilized EDI and City funds on design and contract administrationand the first phase of project development was completed in 2010. This



CITY OF MEDFORD

13 Version 2.0

involves parking improvements, pathways, environmental and plantingimprovements as well as construction of a canoe launch, installation of benches, signage and a storm water management system. The City has alsosecured a $40,000.00 grant from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust forinstallation of interpretive signage at the site. This was completed in springof 2011. The construction cost for the entire facility is estimated to beapproximately $3.5 million and additional leveraged funds are currently beingsought from state and federal sources in order to move forward withadditional phases of the project.

River’s Edge

River’s Edge is a 215-acre public/private development site located five miles

north of Boston, at Wellington circle in Medford, Massachusetts. This multi-use, transit-oriented, waterfront development offers easy access to Route 93,to Logan Airport, and direct service to downtown Boston on the MBTA’sOrange Line from Wellington Station.

Designed in the spirit of “Smart Growth”, guided by the Mystic ValleyDevelopment Commission (MVDC) and developed by Preotle Lane andAssociate, River’s edge is being developed in three phases. This project isnow well underway, together with the cities of Everett and Malden. In a prioryear, the City obtained a Section 108 loan of $1,000,000.00 for this project,which is paid by the City of Everett from a BEDI grant.

The City’s long-term goal, relative to the River’s Edge project Section 108loan, is to create 42 jobs in Medford, with 51% (21.5 jobs) made available tolow or moderate income individuals. Monitoring of job creation is conducted

by the Mystic Valley Development Commission (MVDC). Using self-reportingforms, modeled on the HUD model, the MVDC requests job creation reportsfrom all tenants of River’s Edge semi-annually. As of December 31, 2010,171 were created and of these 7 are held by low income persons and 42 areheld by moderate income persons. Thus, the City has more than achieved itsgoal and has met the job creation requirements of its Section 108 loanagreement with HUD.

Phase 1 was accomplished from 2009 – 2010 with an office building openingat 200 River’s Edge Drive. This building received LEED Gold certificationfrom the US Green Building Certification. Marriott International has executeda 7-year lease for 32,000 square feet of the building. Progenika, Inc., the

U.S. subsidiary of Progenika Group, A Spanish genotyping technologycompany, has leased and additional 8,900 square feet of office space in thisbuilding.

Construction was also completed on a 222-unit residential apartment buildingand as of June 30, 2011, the building was 100% leased and 93% occupied.The project includes 34 affordable units designated for residents earning up



CITY OF MEDFORD

14 Version 2.0

to 120% of median income. While not meeting HUD criteria for affordablehousing, these units are available at below market rate.

Additionally construction is ongoing on a 5,000 square feet commercialbuilding at 359 Commercial Street, on land owned by the MVDC within theproject area.

Design of the Air Force Road/Norman Street Reconstruction Project has beencompleted and construction is ongoing. This is being funded with HUDSection 108 funds from Everett. The roadway will provide access to a 40-acre parcel located in Phase 2 in Everett. Berkley Investments, the ownersof this land have completed the permitting phase and begun construction of the River Green Technology Park, a 500,000 square foot multi-use industrial,office, R&D center suitable for green technology and other uses incorporatingsustainable design elements, a public, multi-use path and scenic overlookconnecting an existing Everett park to the Malden River waterfront. Thedesign will mirror that of the Park at River’s Edge constructed as part of

Phase 1.

Construction was completed on Phase I of the Wellington Greenway Projectutilizing a grant in the amount to $150,000 from the MassachusettsEnvironmental Trust. The Wellington Greenway Project, a multi-purpose pathalong the Malden and Mystic Rivers, will link River’s Edge to the MBTA’aWellington Station and other development projects along the river. Designhas been completed for Phases 2 and 3 of this project and construction isscheduled for spring of 2012.

MVDC received a grant of $175,000 from the Massachusetts Environmental

Trust for the MVDC’s share of the Plans and Specifications Phase of the ArmyCorp’s Malden River Ecosystem Restoration Project. The project includesinvasive species removal and replanting of native wetland plant species along15 acres of the riverbank corridor; creation of 5.5 acres of emergentwetland; creation of 2.8 acres of fish spawning habitat; miscellaneous debrisremoval and disposal; and improvement to fish passage through the AmeliaEarhart Dam. The plans and specifications phase commenced in fall 2010and is ongoing.

Work has also begun on environmental site assessments in Phase 2 of theRiver’s Edge Project, which takes place in Everett, using a $300,000Brownfields Assessment Grant from the U.S. EPA. Work is scheduled for

completion in 2013.

patrol services to help ensure that their residences were kept safe and securein addition to the decent and sanitary housing services that are traditionallyprovided by the Housing Authority. This security program has beensuccessful in alleviating some of the fears expressed by the residents and hasprobably prevented more severe and frequent security issues.

2. Evaluate progress in providing affordable housing that meets the Section 215definition of affordable housing for rental and owner households comparing actual

accomplishments with proposed goals during the reporting period.

All of Medford’s affordable housing meets Section 215 requirements exceptthat not all rental units are affordable to or inhabited by families earning lessthan 50% or 65% of AMI. All rental units have a rent set to be affordable forfamilies earning not more than 70% AMI, which makes them affordable forhouseholds with a lower income only if they hold a Section 8 orMassachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) voucher. The City’s goals for

all affordable units are that they are legally restricted for the long term,ideally in perpetuity, and that all units are affordable under Massachusetts’ Chapter 40B law. Chapter 40B requires units to be affordable for householdsearning no more than 80% AMI. The City aims for all future rental units tobe affordable for households earning no more than 60% AMI.

Medford continues active involvement in the Malden-Medford Continuum of Care (CoC) and the Tri-City Continuum of Care Homeless Task Force, madeup of a range of agencies and organizations from Medford, Malden and

Everett. The CoC has again applied for McKinney Vento and other funds tosupport and expand its shelter and case management services for extremelylow income individuals and families, including those with intellectual andphysical disabilities.

Medford residents also benefit from our partnership with the cities of Maldenand Everett in an Emergency Services committee. Under this partnership,we are able to provide emergency assistance for families who have fallenbehind in their rent or mortgage payments or who cannot afford their heatingor cooling bills. Tri-CAP receives funding from multiple sources for thisassistance and can provide up to $1,000.00 to households who can show that

they will be able to manage their finances after receiving the emergencyfunding. The City also awarded $1,500.00 in Block Grant funds to theSalvation Army for the provision of emergency services to Medford residents.

The City supports the pilot program being initiated by some area nonprofitsto create a one-stop housing help line in order to better connect families withexisting services. The program is planned for implementation in theupcoming program year. Medford will participate in a process to analyzedata that emerges from the help line in order to identify and address gaps inservices.

Medford is aware that the strong housing market of the early 2000’s hasresulted in an acute housing crisis that cannot be fixed overnight. Over time,the City aims to create more units of housing to serve lower incomehouseholds and to continue supporting the range of social serviceorganizations that provide assistance to our lowest income residents,including those who are disabled.

Through June 30, 2011 the use of Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing funds, the City has stabilized one hundred and sixty-two householdsthat were experiencing housing instability due to the economic downturn.

The City of Medford seeks to improve the conditions and provide suitableliving environments for low income residents of public housing developmentsby funding public housing modernization that ensures a safe environment forresidents.

The Medford Housing Authority (MHA) attempts to establish realistic goals inrelation to the needs and objectives of its community, as well as the availablefinancial and staffing resources of the Authority, both for the coming programyear and the near future. MHA’s immediate objective is to maintain, protectand improve the quality of the living environment for its current residents,

and to provide a physical plant, financial policies and management structure,which will enable the Authority to continue to offer quality housing to itsresidents.

During Year 1, the MHA received the following CDBG funding for publichousing improvements. Security services at Walking Court, in response toincreased crime levels were funded with $16,380.00 and $25,000.00 wasexpended for new handicapped accessible wheelchair ramps at WalklingCourt, an elderly/disabled housing development. An additional $150,000.00was appropriated for new flooring for 144 apartments in the Walking Courtdevelopment; Phase I is well underway, with Phase II requiring additionalfunding in the next program year.

Also in the past year, the MHA completed a conversion from electric heat togas heat at the Saltonstall Building, a 200 unit elderly/disabled federal highrise development at 121 Riverside Avenue, and completed the installation of solar hot water heating panels on the roof of the Saltonstall Building. Alsocompleted was a major waterproofing project at Tempone Apartments, a 100unit elderly/disabled building.

The Medford Housing Authority installed new flooring, replaced boilers,repaired basement walls, built 4 units of handicapped housing, and is in theprocess of a comprehensive site upgrade at our State Family Development,

LaPrise Village, in preparation of a HUD Real Estate Assessment Center(REAC) Inspection to be held in December of 2012. We anticipatefederalization of this State family development within the 1st quarter of fiscalyear 2012.

The Medford Housing Authority federalized the former elderly/disabled StateDevelopment, Weldon Gardens, after passing a REAC Inspection in August of 2010 and began receiving federal funding on October 1, 2011.



CITY OF MEDFORD

41 Version 2.0

The federalization of the above Weldon Gardens and LaPrise Village werefunded by ARRA and the LaPrise family development continues to be fundedby the State in preparation for federalization.

The Medford Housing Authority has ongoing needs to rehabilitate publichousing, improve housing authority infrastructure and provide services to itsresidents. At present, MHA has identified almost $2,000,000.00 worth of high-priority physical improvements for which it seeks federal and statefunds. Presently the two elevators in the 200-unit high rise are beingreplaced and the compactor system will be upgraded in the Saltonstall 200-unit elderly/disabled building. Also scheduled this fiscal year are thereplacement of two elevators and a water heater modernization project atTempone Apartments, a 100-unit elderly/disabled development. At our 150unit federal family development, Willis Avenue, we will replace gutters on allbuildings.

The state-aided developments have a priority for homeless persons under an

emergency priority category subject to regulations of the MassachusettsDepartment of Housing and Community Development.

The Medford Housing Authority encourages resident participation throughresident membership on its Governing Board, and through regularlyscheduled monthly meetings with resident representatives. Over the lastyear two new Tenant Councils were organized, one for a 200 unitelderly/disabled federal development and the other for a 75 unitelderly/disabled federal development. MHA meets at least annually with aResident Advisory Board to prepare its Annual Plan and has regularlyscheduled monthly meetings with residents representing each housingdevelopment.

Barriers to Affordable Housing

1. Describe actions taken during the last year to eliminate barriers to affordablehousing.

Program Year 1 CAPER Barriers to Affordable Housing response:

In Year 1, the City of Medford increased its outreach to realtors and bankersto inform them of the down payment and closing cost assistance available to

low and moderate income households. This resulted in over 65 familiesparticipating in an 8-hour first-time homebuyers class in this fiscal year.

The City provided limited translation of some information, such as how toaccess a Spanish first-time homebuyers class.

The greatest barriers to affordable housing are housing costs, increasing costof living, reduced access to financing and growing unemployment. The City



CITY OF MEDFORD

of Medford housing costs continue to be higher than the majority of NorthSuburban Consortium member communities. A family of four, who’s incomecannot be above $64,400; simply cannot afford to purchase a home inMedford where the current single family home price is on the market for$385,000 and a condo is $298,000.

Information packets have been sent to real estate brokers explaining thedownpayment and closing cost assistance.

Due to the high cost of real estate in the City of Medford, acquiring viableproperties is difficult. However, Medford Community Housing continues towork to acquire and develop property in Medford, because this is theirmission.

1. Identify actions taken to prevent homelessness.

Program Year 1 CAPER Specific Housing Prevention Elements response:

Medford is an active participant in the Tri-City Continuum of Care HomelessTask Force, largely made up of agencies that provide direct services to thehomeless from Malden, Everett and Medford. Participation in this task forceenables the City to better understand local homelessness issues andsolutions and to know best how to refer families who may come directly toCity Hall for assistance.

In August of 2009, a competitive RFP process was employed to award HPRPfunds to four nonprofit organizations: Tri-City Community Action Program$400,000.00, Heading Home $146,000.00, Housing Families Inc. $84,486.00and Mediation for Results $15,000.00. These funds assisted Medford families

and individuals that were homeless to obtain stable housing, and helpedthose at-risk of homelessness remain housed.

HPRP funds can be used for rent and utility arrears, security deposits, short-term rental assistance, utility payments, housing search and placement.These HPRP program funds have already assisted one hundred and Onehundred and sixty-two Medford families.

Additionally, the City of Medford funds nonprofit organizations that seek toprevent homelessness:

• Tri-CAP’ s Pro Bono Legal Project provides legal advice, information,advocacy, referral and representation to low income residents seekingassistance with non-fee generating civil law problems – a significantnumber of such cases are eviction cases,

• Emergency Assistance at Salvation Army assists families who may bemarginally behind on rent or mortgage or need assistance to cover energyor other housing related costs,

• Medford Family Life/Heading Home, Inc. assists homeless families byproviding temporary housing, case management, life skills/parentingsupport and housing search assistance,

• Consumer Advisor Commission provides advocacy and referral forconsumer issues, many of them being tenant landlord related.

The City’s Affordable Housing Specialist was available to local residents toanswer questions regarding rent increases, evictions and housing searchesand to refer residents to appropriate agencies for further assistance. Asneeded, she provided written material to tenants on tenant/landlord rightsand responsibilities. She also assisted tenants in negotiating to preservetheir tenancies when required. This was valuable to prevent loss of tenants’ housing in cases such as rent increases.
