Fifth Program Year Action Plan

The CPMP Fifth Annual Action Plan includes the SF 424 and Narrative Responses to Action

Plan questions that CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and ESG grantees must respond to each year in

order to be compliant with the Consolidated Planning Regulations. The Executive Summary

narratives are optional.

Narrative Responses ACTION PLAN Annual Action Plan includes the SF 424 and is due every year no less than 45 days prior to

the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between

August 15 and November 15.

Executive Summary 91.220(b)

1. The Executive Summary is required. Include the objectives and outcomes identified in

the plan and an evaluation of past performance.

This Plan outlines the many housing, economic and community development initiatives the

City will undertake in fiscal year 2012-2013 to continue to maintain our neighborhoods,

commercial corridors and to help enrich the lives of our citizens. As in previous planning

years, the City continues to embark on its community development efforts in partnership

with our departmental agencies, local non-profits and local and state quasi-governmental

organizations.

Past Performance The City continued its on primary objective of increasing home

ownership in Richmond during 2011-2012 by using a significant portion of the CDBG and

the HOME program funds to improve and preserve existing housing stock, to help create

new housing and to increase homeownership opportunities. One such outlet is the City’s

award-winning Neighborhoods in Bloom program, a local initiative to help restore and

maintain Richmond’s historic neighborhoods through rehabilitation projects and new, in-kind

housing construction. This year, the NiB program is focused on the Bellemeade, Blackwell,

Carver-Newtowne West, Church Hill Central, Highland Park Southern Tip, Southern Barton

Heights and Swansboro neighborhoods.

The City worked to increase home ownership and neighborhood stability through new

housing construction on formerly abandoned vacant lots, through the sale of such newly

constructed homes, through the rehabilitation and sale of vacant houses and through

rehabilitation assistance to owner-occupied housing for low and moderate income

households. To help ensure homeownership affordability, Richmond used some program

funds for down payment assistance and principal reduction assistance. The City provided for

necessary capital improvements through capital improvement dollars.

Outside of the NiB program, the City allocated a significant portion of CDBG funds to create

a revolving loan fund that went to providing gap financing and increased job opportunities

for Richmond’s low- and moderate-income citizens. Known as the Commercial Loan Fund,

Page 3: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

this allocation got its first run in the City during the 2011-2012 fiscal year and was able to

help a number of businesses open their doors in downtown Richmond. Moving forward,

these loans funds will be used to encourage new and existing businesses to locate or

expand within the city and will require that those businesses create of retain jobs for LMI

citizens proportionate to the amount of the loans provided.

To maintain our current homeownership rates, the City continued to allocate funds to help

low- and moderate-income homeowners finance maintenance repairs or substantial home

renovations that would help to maintain safety and increase energy efficiency and

functionality in older homes. This provision helped to fulfill the needs of not only the low- to

moderate-income homeowner, but also the elderly homeowner, where, in both cases,

homeowners often delay investing in necessary maintenance due to the expense involved in

repairing or renovating their homes.

In addition to the these investments in preserving Richmond’s housing stock, the City used

CDBG and HOME program funds to help support a systematic code enforcement initiative to

remove blight, and supported housing counseling and fair housing education programs.

Special Needs Populations and 2011-2012 Performance Our $213,989 of Emergency

Shelter Grant funds continued to go to support of emergency homeless services shelters,

transitional shelters and other specialized services to homeless individuals. The City Cold

Weather Overflow Shelter provided emergency housing to approximately 6,800 persons

during inclement weather (some duplication because of repeat stays). Approximately 1,000

homeless individuals received sheltering through ESG service providers, while 900 people in

families received assistance in transitional shelter to be able to get back on their feet. Area

homeless service providers coupled their ESG allocations with dollars provided by United

Way of Greater Richmond, individual citizen donations and private industry donations.

To further address the needs of special populations, the City allocated the 2011-2012

HOPWA funds to three AIDS service organizations to serve persons with HIV/AIDS

throughout the Richmond-Petersburg MSA. The HOPWA funds allocated to these agencies

totaled $781,825. The agencies provided the case management; short-term rent, mortgage,

utility assistance; long-term rental assistance and first month’s rent assistance.

Approximately 560 clients received HOPWA-funded service during the program year.

Objectives and outcomes for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 This year, the City will slightly

retool our revitalization allocations in order to help grow our housing opportunities and to

incorporate greater investment in economic development initiatives. The City will continue

to make significant investments in our housing stock by way of the Neighborhoods in Bloom

development strategy, code enforcement actions, owner-occupied rehabilitation projects as

well as through Citywide housing investments. Yet, in addition to servicing our

neighborhoods, the City will use some of our CDBG resources to help in the effort to

revitalize commercial corridors and gateways, as City leaders are rooting their confidences

in local small businesses and gateway commercial areas as sources of existing and potential

new jobs for local residents and as sources of goods and services for the local economy.

The City has developed and will be implementing during the fiscal year a series of economic

development loans designed for small, minority- and women-owned businesses and

development contractors, as well as for gap financing for other potential business deals, to

help stimulate the local economy. Additionally, with all of our community development

projects, the City will focus more effort on the workforce piece of our project investments,

by encouraging greater job creation/retention from the projects we initiate with our

subrecipients.

Page 4: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

In sum, the City will utilize its Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds to:

Provide rehabilitation assistance to existing homeowners for repairs and for

substantial rehabilitation where necessary. (These programs are available citywide

as well as in the NiB areas.)

Through the NiB program, provide funds to acquire vacant lots for the construction of

new housing and the rehabilitation of vacant houses in order to create affordable

homeownership opportunities for low and moderate income persons and elderly

residents.

Provide funds to support small businesses in neighborhood commercial areas and to

support fair housing, housing counseling and financial literacy activities.

Provide public services to homeless families and those affected by code enforcement

actions

The City will use the newly revamped Emergency Solutions Grant funds to help support

transition to more permanent housing solutions using policies and practices rolled over from

successful Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program projects, as well as

through partnerships with our nightly shelter programs, and homelessness prevention

services. The funds also will help support licensed day care for families in shelters,

transportation for shelter patrons and to help cover operational expenses for homeless

service providers.

The City will use Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS funding to support long-term

rental assistance; short–term rental, mortgage and utility assistance and HIV/AIDS client

support services; as well as to provide operating funds for an eight unit housing facility.

Grant Allocations and Match Requirements HOME funds and ESG funds are the only

funds being used that have historically required a match, although match has always been

an important factor in awarding CDBG and HOPWA funds. In awarding CDBG funds, the City

strives for at least a 3-to-1 match. Because of the City's status as a depressed area, under

HUD's criteria, the City in the past has been responsible for meeting only one-half of the

match requirement for HOME funds and 12.5% for rehabilitations and new construction. The

City has met that match requirement with City property tax abatements and public

improvements that directly impact the property. In some instances, bank funds at a lower

interest rate than the HOME funds were used as direct grants from LISC and other

foundations.

ESG funds require a 100% match. The match requirement has been met with the Virginia

State Shelter, United Way and other grants, as well with foundation and private individual

gifts.

Page 6: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

Budget and Notice of the 30-Day Period for Public Comment, are advertised in local papers

and on the City’s website.

The City makes copies of a draft of the Annual Plan available at public libraries and

government offices for the duration of the 30-day public comment period, as an additional

opportunity for citizen review and input.

The City held the first of two public comment hearings on the 2012-2013 Annual Plan on

January 19, 2012. There were no comments made.

The 30-day public comment period on the initial draft of the Annual Plan will begin on March

26th. Upon receiving public comment, the Neighborhood Revitalization division will

incorporate any public feedback into the Annual Plan and forward it on to City Council for

final approval. City Council will receive the final version of the 2012-2013 Annual Plan in

May 2012.

The City consulted with various groups that advocate for minority and special needs

populations while developing the Five Year Plan. A complete listing of the advocacy groups

involved is featured in that document.

The public comment period remains open until April 2012.

Resources 91.220(c)(1)) and (c)(2)

5. Identify the federal, state, and local resources (including program income) the

jurisdiction expects to receive to address the needs identified in the plan. Federal

resources should include Section 8 funds made available to the jurisdiction, Low-Income

Housing Tax Credits, and competitive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds

expected to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in

the strategic plan.

6. Explain how federal funds will leverage resources from private and non-federal public

sources, including how matching requirements of HUD programs will be satisfied.

Richmond has benefitted greatly by the number of nonprofit, philanthropic, educational and

financial institutions based here that include community reinvestment as a key component

of their work. Because of that proximity and duel goal, the City has a number of other

federal, state and local resources at work in the community that complement our

community development allocations. Those funds include the following:

viability of the community

7. Provide a summary of specific objectives that will be addressed during the program

year.

The City of Richmond Department of Economic and Community Development will use an

estimated $4.8 million (94 percent) of its CDBG allocation to fund activities that benefit low-

to-moderate income persons, and $123,600 (6 percent) from CDBG funds to address slum

and blighting properties in FY 2012-2013.*

The City will expend 72 percent ($3.7 million) of CDBG funds and 76 percent ($1.6 million)

of HOME funds on target areas in the City of Richmond during the 2011-2012 fiscal year.

The target areas are those designated as Neighborhoods in Bloom communities, which

include Bellemeade, Blackwell, Carver-Newtowne West, Church Hill Central, Highland Park

Southern Tip, Southern Barton Heights and Swansboro.

In addition to utilizing our community development funds, the City will continue to

incorporate grant funds from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, a program designed

to help alleviate the impact from the country-wide foreclosure crisis. Since its infusion into

the City’s housing marketplace, Neighborhood Revitalization has been able to expend $2.4

million in NSP funds on qualifying foreclosed properties that might have otherwise sat

vacant. In 2012-2013, the City will use $332,317 to acquire, rehabilitate and market

foreclosed homes in specific target areas.

*Note: The City had not received exact totals on how much it would receive in federal entitlement grant dollars, thus dollar figures are guest estimates based on previous year allocations.

Fair Housing. Fair housing continues to play a pivotal role in the City’s homeownership

mission. As in previous years, the City maintains it commitment to furthering affordable

and fair housing opportunities to all would-be and existing City homeowners.

For the upcoming fiscal year, Richmond has allocated over $1 million in CDBG and HOME

grant resources to Housing Opportunities Made Equal, our lead regional housing advocacy

non-profit organization, in order to enlist the agency to provide fair housing assistance and

representation, credit counseling, first-time homebuyer advisory services, down payment

assistance and housing information and counseling services for potential and existing

homeowners.

The City complements this financial commitment with a participatory one. City community

development employees have partnered with local non-profit housing organizations, as well

as private industry outfits and the Virginia Housing Development Authority, to plan and

present a series of workshops and neighborhood tours that will help to inform the public

about affordable housing barriers and current affordable, fair housing ownership

opportunities.

Description of Activities 91.220(d) and (e)

*If not using the CPMP Tool: Complete and submit Table 3C *If using the CPMP Tool: Complete and submit the Projects Worksheets

8. Provide a summary of the eligible programs or activities that will take place during the

program year to address the priority needs and specific objectives identified in the

strategic plan, the number and type of families that will benefit from the proposed

activities, proposed accomplishments, and target date for the completion of the activity.

Page 10: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

Describe the outcome measures for activities in accordance with Federal Register Notice

dated March 7, 2006, i.e., general objective category (decent housing, suitable living

environment, economic opportunity) and general outcome category

(availability/accessibility, affordability, sustainability).

Please see the City’s Project Worksheets for a description of our activities for FY 2012-2013.

Geographic Distribution/Allocation Priorities 91.220(d) and (f)

9. Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income families

and/or racial/minority concentration) in which assistance will be directed during the next

year. Where appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the percentage of funds the

jurisdiction plans to dedicate to target areas.

10. Describe the reasons for the allocation priorities, the rationale for allocating investments

geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) during the next

year, and identify any obstacles to addressing underserved needs.

Geographic Distribution and Rationale For the 2012-2013 fiscal year, the City will

continue using our Neighborhoods in Bloom development investment model to reach our

low- to moderate-income targets. Our NiB neighborhoods include the following:

Bellemeade

Blackwell

Carver-Newtowne West

Church Hill Central

Highland Park Southern Tip

Southern Barton Heights

Swansboro

These neighborhoods have been selected for concentrated assistance because of their high

levels of low-to-moderate income residents and because of their distinct need for housing

revitalization due to long-term neglect.

The City continues to focus on increasing homeownership and neighborhood stability,

through the construction and sale of new housing on formerly abandoned vacant lots, the

rehabilitation and sale of vacant houses and through rehabilitation assistance to owner-

occupied housing for low and moderate income households. The City also provides funds

for down payment assistance and principal reduction assistance to ensure affordability. The

City provides for necessary supportive capital improvements through local capital

improvement dollars.

Outside of the NiB program, the City will use remaining funds to address the housing needs

of low and moderate income households that are more widely disbursed citywide. We will

use funds to help low- and moderate-income homeowners finance maintenance repairs or

substantial home renovations that would help to maintain safety and increase energy

efficiency and functionality in older homes. This provision helps to fulfill the needs of not

only the low- to moderate-income homeowner, but also the elderly homeowner, where, in

both cases, homeowners often delay investing in necessary maintenance due to the

expense involved in repairing or renovating their home.

Page 11: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

In addition to these investments in preserving Richmond’s housing stock, the City will use

CDBG and HOME program funds to help support a systematic code enforcement initiative to

remove blight, and supports housing counseling and fair housing education programs. The

City will rely upon CDBG funds to help in the effort to revitalize commercial corridors and

gateways, as City leaders are rooting their confidences in local small businesses and

gateway commercial areas as sources of existing and potential new jobs for local residents

and as sources of goods and services for the local economy.

Geographic Distribution and Special Needs Residents For our special needs

populations, our HOPWA and Emergency Solutions Grant funds go beyond specific

neighborhoods and instead are invested in service agencies that are widely known sources

of support and assistance among our citizenry that have these distinct needs. Our funds

support the bulk of local agencies that serve the highest number of agencies that are set up

specifically for AIDS and HIV patients and those facing housing crises, respectively. Our

investment in these community groups, coupled with the City’s own Human Services

initiatives via the Richmond Department of Social Services, enables the City to achieve the

most reach.

Annual Affordable Housing Goals 91.220(g) *If not using the CPMP Tool: Complete and submit Table 3B Annual Housing Completion Goals.

*If using the CPMP Tool: Complete and submit the Table 3B Annual Housing Completion Goals.

11. Describe the one-year goals for the number of homeless, non-homeless, and special-

needs households to be provided affordable housing using funds made available to the

jurisdiction and one-year goals for the number of households to be provided affordable

housing through activities that provide rental assistance, production of new units,

rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of existing units using funds made available

to the jurisdiction. The term affordable housing shall be defined in 24 CFR 92.252 for

rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership.

Please see Table 3B for detail on the City’s Affordable Housing Goals.

Public Housing 91.220(h)

12. Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the needs of

public housing and activities it will undertake during the next year to encourage public

housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in

homeownership.

13. If the public housing agency is designated as "troubled" by HUD or otherwise is

performing poorly, the jurisdiction shall describe the manner in which it will provide

financial or other assistance in improving its operations to remove such designation

during the next year.

The City has committed to providing priority focus in FY 2012-2013 on working with the

Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) to redevelop Dove Court and

Carrington Gardens. Richmond City Mayor Dwight C. Jones and the board of directors for

RRHA recently named a new director to help steer the organization on a path to completing

Page 12: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

this new construction venture as well as on to addressing issues with the agency that inhibit

their efforts to provide decent housing for its clients.

The City also will continue to support the efforts of the Housing Opportunities Made Equal’s

(HOME) Center for Home Ownership, including continued funding of the Keystone Program,

a down payment assistance initiative that sets aside four assistance slots for public housing

residents that are on track to buy their own homes. The Department of Social Services will

continue to be a resource as residents work to increase economic self-sufficiency.

Homeless and Special Needs 91.220(i)

14. Describe, briefly, the jurisdiction’s plan for the investment and use of available resources

and one-year goals for reducing and ending homelessness.

15. Describe specific action steps for reducing and ending homelessness that (i) reach out to

homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs;

(ii) address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs; (iii) help homeless

persons (especially persons that are chronically homeless, families with children,

veterans, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and

independent living.

16. Homelessness Prevention—Describe planned action steps for reducing ending

homelessness that help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless,

especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to be discharged

from publicly funded institution and systems of care or those receiving assistance from

public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, employment,

education or youth needs.

17. Describe specific activities the jurisdiction plans to undertake to address the housing and

supportive service needs of persons who are not homeless (elderly, frail elderly, persons

with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS, persons with alcohol or other substance abuse

problems).

The City’s Plan for Investment and Use of Funds Directed Towards Homelessness

The City of Richmond is a vested implementation partner in our region’s Ten Year Plan to

Prevent and End Homelessness as it is managed under the guise of Homeward, our region’s

planning and coordinating organization for homeless services. Richmond has worked to

address homelessness for decades, and continued that commitment through our

participation in sessions with other regional leaders, service providers, some homeless

individuals and other community stakeholders.

That process was recorded and eventually became what is our ten year framework today.

Creating the plan has given leaders and practitioners in Richmond and throughout the

region the ability to tailor our services to the needs of our population, thus better enabling

us to serve clients now and to help get clients back to an independent state down the line.

The Ten Year Plan provides an implementation outline made up of multi-level strategies and

actions under five core goals that all community partners, including state and local

government, service providers and advocates, need to take up in order to end

homelessness in the Richmond region.

Page 13: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

For Economic and Community Development’s part, we continue to commit a combination of

CDBG and ESG funds to public and human service initiatives. We have and continue to

allocate a combined $390,000 of CDBG funds to housing information and counseling

services, housing code enforcement counseling and lead abatement programs, in order to

proactively address code violation issues that lead to homelessness. With the same

motivation, the City allocates $95,000 in family residential support programs, as it provides

a much needed housing source for homeless families,.

Our $380,505 Emergency Solutions Grant allocation not only will go to support emergency

financial assistance for city households in need, transitional sheltering, emergency

sheltering, care for domestic violence victims and child care for children of low-income or

homeless familial situations, but also to helping special needs clients become stably housed

more quickly, through the use of time-tested success models demonstrated under our local

HPRP program.

Thus, the city’s plan for the investment and use of funds are aligned with the

implementation strategies of our region’s Ten Year Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness.

We are committed to continuing to direct some of our grant funds to the implementation

strategies that local government can impact.

Combating Homelessness Prevention: Our Local Approach

As institutional policy, the City of Richmond makes every effort to help individuals and

families who either may be experiencing homelessness or is on the brink of becoming

homeless through adult and family services within our Department of Social Services. The

Richmond Department of Social Services (RDSS) has a full roster of adult and family

protective services available for Richmond citizens. Under department policy, RDSS cannot

deny service to anyone who presents a need and is an established city resident, and as

such, works to assist any and all qualifying persons with the programs they have available.

As a complement to our existing programs and services, the City will use Emergency

Solutions Grant funds to provide homeless assistance and homelessness prevention services

to individuals and families. The four non-profit service providers to whom we allocate funds

help connect individuals and families to housing in affordable rentals (including public

housing) around the city or in housing stabilization arrangements with willing relatives.

Clients of these programs have the opportunity to sign on for financial or programmatic

support from RDSS within 180 days of discharge from their programs, should additional

support be required.

Barriers to Affordable Housing 91.220(j)

18. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to remove barriers to

affordable housing.

The City of Richmond has implemented several regulatory changes and programs to

augment the quality and distribution of affordable housing. Among these are:

Establishment of the rehabilitation tax credit, which provides for the assessment of

real estate taxes on rehabilitated property at the pre-rehabilitated value rather than

the increased value. While available to all qualified properties citywide, this program

has proven invaluable in the rehabilitation of vacant properties in the revitalization

areas. It has made possible more affordable mortgages for low and moderate

Page 14: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

income buyers.

Support to mixed-income and Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LITHC) projects that

re-use vacant industrial buildings in areas in need of or currently undergoing

revitalization.

Implementation of the affordable housing trust fund.

Implementation of the affordable dwelling unit ordinance.

The City will continue incorporating these support mechanisms into our housing

development strategies during FY 2012-2013.

Other Actions 91.220(k)

19. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to address obstacles to

meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, evaluate and

reduce the number of housing units containing lead-based paint hazards, reduce the

number of poverty-level families develop institutional structure, enhance coordination

between public and private agencies (see 91.215(a), (b), (i), (j), (k), and (l)).

20. Describe the actions to coordinate its housing strategy with local and regional

transportation planning strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that residents of

affordable housing have access to public transportation.

PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS CDBG 91.220(l)(1)

1. Identify program income expected to be received during the program year, including:

amount expected to be generated by and deposited to revolving loan funds;

total amount expected to be received from each new float-funded activity included in

8. Estimated amount of CDBG funds that will be used for activities that benefit persons of

low- and moderate income.

CDBG Investments and Returns

The City expects to receive $272,041 in program income for FY2011-2012 activities

Richmond currently does not have outstanding projects funded by Section 108 loan

guarantees, nor does the City have any urban renewal settlement funds

Approximately 68.3% of CDBG funds will be used for activities that benefit persons

of low and moderate income.

HOME 91.220(l)(1)

1. Describe other forms of investment. (See Section 92.205)

If grantee (PJ) plans to use HOME funds for homebuyers, did they state the guidelines of

resale or recapture, as required in 92.254.

2. If grantee (PJ) plans to use HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by

multifamily housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds, state its refinancing

guidelines required under 24 CFR 92.206(b).

3. Resale Provisions -- For homeownership activities, describe its resale or recapture

guidelines that ensure the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds. See 24 CFR

92.254(a)(4).

4. HOME Tenant-Based Rental Assistance -- Describe the local market conditions that led to

the use of a HOME funds for tenant based rental assistance program.

If the tenant based rental assistance program is targeted to or provides a preference for a

special needs group, that group must be identified in the Consolidated Plan as having an unmet

need and show the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by

this population.

5. If a participating jurisdiction intends to use forms of investment other than those

described in 24 CFR 92.205(b), describe these forms of investment.

6. Describe the policy and procedures it will follow to affirmatively market housing

containing five or more HOME-assisted units.

7. Describe actions taken to establish and oversee a minority outreach program within its

jurisdiction to ensure inclusion, to the maximum extent possible, of minority and women, and

entities owned by minorities and women, including without limitation, real estate firms,

construction firms, appraisal firms, management firms, financial institutions, investment

banking firms, underwriters, accountants, and providers of legal services, in all contracts,

entered into by the participating jurisdiction with such persons or entities, public and private, in

order to facilitate the activities of the participating jurisdiction to provide affordable housing

under the HOME program or any other Federal housing law applicable to such jurisdiction.

8. If a jurisdiction intends to use HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by

multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds, state its financing guidelines

required under 24 CFR 92.206(b).

Page 16: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

Richmond’s HOME Investment The City of Richmond does not intend to use other forms

of investment not described in Section 92.205(b).

The City of Richmond maintains the same guidelines for resale that began with the HOME

Program in 1992. Participants using HOME program funding must use the City’s approved

Deed of Trust document that enforces the affordability terms outlined in the HOME program

final rule regulations. Currently, each Deed of Trust document given to a new homeowner

or investor as part of their down payment assistance loan contract includes the following

guidelines:

HOME–assisted units for rehabilitation or new construction projects under $15,000 –

five year affordability period.

HOME–assisted units for rehabilitation or down payment assistance projects from

$15,000 to $40,000 – ten year affordability period.

HOME–assisted units for rehabilitation projects over $40,000 – 15 year affordability

period.

HOME–assisted rental units for new construction projects only - 20 year affordability

period.

Recapture Provision

The City of Richmond currently uses the recapture provision option outlined in Section 24 CFR

Part 92.254 to ensure the affordability requirements for the HOME Investment Partnership

Program. The recapture provision is defined as the amount of HOME funds used to assist an

eligible purchaser. The recapture provision must ensure that the City recoups all or a portion

of the HOME assistance subject to recapture in the event of resale of property to the net

proceeds available from the sale if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence

of the family for the duration of the period of affordability. The affordability period is

determined by the amount of HOME funds included in the deed or land covenant, which will

be defined in the terms of the loan. The affordability period will apply as follows:

projects under $15,000-five-year term

projects from $15,001- $40,000-ten year term

projects over $40,000-fifteen-year term

The City will enforce the recapture provision requirement in our contractual agreement with

our sub-recipients. The sub-recipients will pass the requirement to the purchaser of the

HOME assisted unit in the form of a deed or land covenant that runs concurrently with the

affordability period.

The affordability period can only be reduced or terminated if a transfer in lieu of a foreclosure

occurs prior to satisfying the recapture agreement. In such a case, the purchaser will be

required to share in the net proceeds available from the sale. Where there are no net

proceeds, the HOME requirements are considered to be satisfied. The purchaser of a HOME-

assisted unit also can satisfy the terms of the deed of trust by transferring the remaining

requirements of the original deed of trust to another eligible home purchaser.

To be an eligible home purchaser, the new homeowner must meet the HOME program's

income requirements and be approved by the City. This new home purchaser also must agree

to be responsible for the prorated portion of the terms in the original deed of trust until the

Page 17: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

affordability period is satisfied. Proceeds from the sale of properties using HOME funds will be

recaptured and returned to the City. These funds will be considered program income and

used for future housing development projects.

The City does not intend to use HOME funds to refinance existing debt serviced by

multifamily housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds.

The City of Richmond spent all of its American Dream Down Payment Initiative allocation by

the end of FY 2009-2010. The ADDI allocation was used to increase the homeownership

rate, especially among lower-income and minority households, and to revitalize and stabilize

City neighborhoods. Housing Opportunities Made Equal, Inc., offered up to $7,500 of down

payment and closing cost assistance to first-time homebuyers under the Keystone Program.

The City of Richmond did not receive ADDI funds for FY2010-2011, and is not expecting an

allocation for FY2012-2013.

HOPWA 91.220(l)(3)

1. One year goals for the number of households to be provided housing through the use of

HOPWA activities for: short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance to prevent

homelessness of the individual or family, tenant-based rental assistance, units provided

in housing facilities that are being developed, leased, or operated.

The City of Richmond regards persons with special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS,

as a top priority constituency. The City, in consultation with its partners, proposes the

allocation of $864,491 in HOPWA funds to four area agencies located throughout the

Richmond-Petersburg MSA that will provide a range of housing assistance and supportive

services, including facilities and community residences, rental assistance, short-term

payments to prevent homelessness, technical assistance, supportive services and other

activities to serve persons with HIV/AIDS. Additionally, two City departments will provide

program administration and expenditure monitoring.

To ensure that the above services are provided, the City, in collaboration with the AIDS

Service Organizations (ASOs), developed a comprehensive and coordinated regional housing

and service delivery system called a "Continuum of Care for Persons with HIV/AIDS." The

fundamental components of the Continuum of Care are:

1. HIV/AIDS prevention education programs

2. Outreach and assessment

3. Short-term rental assistance (up to 21 weeks)- 50 households

4. Long-term rental housing assistance – 25 clients

5. First month’s rental assistance – 8 clients

6. Case management and support services - 533 clients

.

ESG 91.220(l)(4)

1 Identify the written standards for providing ESG assistance in accordance with 24 CFR

576.400(e)(1) and (e)(3).

2 If the Continuum of Care for the jurisdiction’s area has established a centralized or

coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe the centralized

Page 18: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

or coordinated assessment system and the requirements for using the system,

including the exception for victim service providers, as set forth under 24 CFR

576.400(d)

3 Identify the process for making awards and how the jurisdiction intends to make its

allocation available to nonprofit organizations, and in the case of urban counties,

funding to participating units of local government.

4 If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR

576.405(a), specify the plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or

formerly homeless individuals in considering and making policies and decisions

regarding any facilities or services that receive funding under ESG.

5 Describe the performance standards for evaluating ESG activities.

6 Describe the consultation with each Continuum of Care that serves the jurisdiction in

determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards, evaluate

outcomes of activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding policies, and

procedures for the administration and operation HMIS.

City Standards for ESG Assistance The City of Richmond uses federal grant funds to

complement the efforts of our own Human Services efforts as well as those of local

homeless service providers in the community. As such, the City requires our subgrantees to

establish and fully abide by their individual agency policies and procedures, but all with the

base foundation that they serve clients according to the mission of their organizations, and

according to the contractual agreements set forth with the City. For its part, the City has

allocated support to local organizations that provide emergency and more supportive

services that go toward permanent housing for single adults and families. The City depends

on our subgrantees to provide such service.

Additionally, as institutional policy, the City of Richmond makes every effort to help

individuals and families who either may be experiencing homelessness or is on the brink of

becoming homeless through adult and family services within our Department of Social

Services. The Richmond Department of Social Services (RDSS) has a full roster of adult and

family protective services available for Richmond citizens. Under department policy, RDSS

cannot deny service to anyone who presents a need and is an established city resident, and

as such, works to assist any and all qualifying persons with the programs they have

available.

Central Intake and Richmond’s Continuum of Care Richmond’s network of homeless

service providers rely on the Conrad Center, the centrally located day shelter, as an entry

point for service in the assistance community. Service providers find shelter for potential

clients based on bed availability, then connect clients to that sponsoring organization. Once

clients are linked to a given sheltered, they are then entered in HMIS and gain access to the

case management, life skills and other supportive services granted by that organization.

The City of Richmond will be supporting six such organizations that are part of the

Continuum of Care, with Emergency Solutions Grant funds in FY2012-2013. Those

organizations and a description of their services are listed below:

Performance Evaluation for ESG activities The City of Richmond will distribute its

Procedures Manual and will provide training to new program participants on program

procedures and requirements, to ensure long-term compliance with program requirements

and comprehensive planning requirements, at the beginning of the new fiscal year.

Page 20: Consolidated Action Annual Plan - City of Richmond, Virginia...the start of the grantee’s program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between ... Known as the Commercial Loan

The City's Department of Economic and Community Development, Division of Neighborhood

Revitalization, will contract with sub-recipients, and will be responsible for the reporting,

monitoring and compliance of all agencies and sub-recipients using Emergency Solutions

Grant funds, in accordance with HUD's regulations. Each contract will contain a detailed

item plan that outlines the goals and objectives against which the sub-recipient’s

performance will be measured. The sub-recipient shall provide the Division with a quarterly

report on the status of each activity as agreed to in the contract.

The Neighborhood Revitalization Division shall be responsible for monitoring the

performance of each grantee under the terms of the contract and Letters of Agreement.

Each program will be reviewed for compliance or non-compliance with applicable

Consolidated Plan regulations, executive orders, labor standards, Equal Employment

Opportunity, Section 3, environmental and other 504 federal requirements.

Monitoring will be accomplished through bi-annual on-site visits, analysis of quarterly

reports, review of subcontracts and bid documents, employee interviews, pre-construction

conferences and review of activities in relation to the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act and

Wage procedures.

The Department of Finance shall conduct financial monitoring, including monthly desk

reviews of expenditures and one on-site visit each year, in order to ensure that costs

charged against Consolidated Plan activities are eligible.

Continuum of Care Consultation for FY 2012-2013 ESG Allocation Upon the

restructuring of the Emergency Solutions Grant program in Fall 2011, the City met with

HOMEWARD, our regional Continuum of Care lead agency, and citywide CoC agencies, to

outline HUD’s new standards for achieving permanent housing solutions through use of ESG

dollars. The City solicited new applications from our local homeless service providers and

organized a review panel to make funding determinations based on program outlines and

their proposed number of clients served. The panel included one community member who

was once homeless, a volunteer from Virginia Supportive Housing staff (did not apply for

funds) and a staff person from HOMEWARD. Through this panel, the City was able to

determine how it would allocate funds.
