EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Gwinnett County, Georgia is located in the northeastern portion of the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. Since 1970, the population has grown from 72,349 persons to 859,304 persons in 2014.

Gwinnett County is an Entitlement grantee that receives annual funding allocations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funds awarded to Gwinnett County are invested to address locally identified affordable housing, community development, and homeless priority objectives.

As a HUD entitlement grantee, the County is required to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan that identifies housing, community development and homeless needs, prioritizes the needs, identifies resources that could be used to address the needs; and includes annual performance goals and objectives. The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to outline strategies that the County will follow when investing its HUD grant funds. The current Consolidated Plan covers the years 2010-2014. Funding is awarded each year, by HUD formula, to Gwinnett County following the County’s submission of its annual Action Plan.

Each year, Gwinnett County is required to provide an assessment of its performance toward achieving its priority goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan and in the annual Action Plan. This assessment is known as the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER 2014 provides a review and evaluation of the County’s progress toward meeting the annual goals and outcomes included in Action Plan 2014 and reports achievements toward the five-year goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. The CAPER 2014 reporting period is January 1 through December 31, 2014.

Public Facilities – A total of $3,137,891.88 in CDBG funds was spent on 21 projects that created new or improved public facilities, including street improvements and sewer improvements, building renovations for various facilities, drainage improvements for a local children’s shelter, and playground renovations for abused and neglected children.

Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program – Housing rehabilitation assistance was provided to 22 low- and moderate-income (LMI) households. Each household received approximately $20,000 to rehabilitate their home by making essential repairs to help remedy deteriorating conditions. In addition to locally disbursed funds, $302,692.45 in FFY 2011 – FFY 2013 CDBG funds were utilized to support this program.

Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program – A total of $273,170.69 of HOME funds was spent to assist 40 first-time homebuyers. Each eligible first-time homebuyer received at least $7,500.00 for downpayment assistance.

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation Welcome Home Program – In 2014, Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC) expended $392,550.00 of its total HOME 2012-2013 budget that it was awarded as a developer to complete construction of eight HOME funded affordable housing units and disposition of three units. As a part of its ‘Welcome HOME’ Program for first-time homebuyers, LHC constructed all eight properties and will sell the properties to low- to moderate-income first-time homebuyers with deferred payment, zero-interest, homebuyer assistance loans of $14,975.00.

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation Pathways Home Program – In 2014,

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC) expended $230,669.85 for the purposes of rehabilitating eight vacant properties acquired with previously receipted CHDO Proceeds from 2012 to 2013. As a part of its ‘Pathways Home’ transitional housing program for qualified households that are designated as ‘homeless’, LHC acquired and rehabilitated eight properties in Gwinnett County and then made those properties available for low-cost rental housing for very low-income households (below 60% AMI) that have completed a 30 day homeless recovery program and are transitioning from homelessness into stable housing conditions. Households must reflect that they are making progress towards self-sustainability and will be given the option of one additional year of re-certification if necessary.

ANDP – In 2014, the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. (ANDP) was certified as the Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for Gwinnett County. ANDP built on its experience as a NSP developer to continue to acquire, rehabilitate, and resell single-family affordable housing units in Gwinnett County. For PY 2014, ANDP acquired one property, expending $143,741.00 in HOME CHDO funds. This property completed its rehabilitation in 2014 but was yet to identify an income-eligible buyer by the close of the year.

Homeless Solutions – A total of $462,666.27 was spent in ESG funding by seven

nonprofit agencies to facilitate homeless solutions services including homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, and rapid re-housing for 738 individuals in need.

PY 2014 CDBG/HOME/ESG Beneficiaries at a Glance:

1,676 new low- and moderate-income persons received benefits in PY 2014.

Of the households receiving housing rehabilitation assistance in PY 2014, 68.1% were minority-owned and 63.6% of these households were Female-Headed. This data reflects a 31% increase in Female-Headed households served and an increase of 63% in minority-owned households served in PY 2013 by the Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program.

Of the persons receiving Public Services in PY 2014, 42.6% were minorities and 22% total households receiving Public Services were Female-Headed. This data reflects a decrease from PY 2013 due to a new pool of subrecipients awarded operating funds in PY 2014. Prior to PY 2014, Public Services funds were only awarded to three qualified agencies; however, PY 2014 introduced a more diversified portfolio for Public Services awards. Staff worked with these new subrecipients to provide technical assistance to improve the total number of minorities and Female-Headed households for PY 2015.

GENERAL NARRATIVES

1. Assessment of the Five-Year Goals and Objectives

a. Accomplishments attaining goals and objectives for the reporting period.

The Gwinnett County Community Development Program identified its multi-year and annual performance goals in the Consolidated Plan 2010-2014. During 2014, CDBG, HOME and ESG funds were awarded to projects that addressed three priority objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan.

Priority Objective 1: Affordability of Decent Housing

Gwinnett County’s Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program uses HOME Program funds to provide downpayment assistance, principal reduction and closing cost reduction, to first–time homebuyers. The Lawrenceville Housing Corporation’s Welcome Home and Pathways Home Programs and Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc.’s (ANDP) homeownership program utilize HOME funds for new construction of homeownership units, and acquisition/rehabilitation of homeownership and rental (transitional) housing units. The County uses Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds for a similar purpose; the program purchases previously foreclosed homes and rehabilitates them before reselling the property to an income-eligible homebuyer. Additionally, Gwinnett County uses CDBG Program funds for homeowners to make basic repairs to homes that they occupy as their principal residence. The funds are provided through a 0% interest, five-year deferred payment loan.

Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program – Gwinnett County

Serving all of Gwinnett County, HOME entitlement grant and program income funds are used to provide downpayment assistance, principal reduction, and closing costs reduction to income eligible first-time homebuyers through deferred payment loans. During 2014, 37 loans were closed totaling $273,170.69 in HOME funds. A total of $68,766.71 in HOME loans were provided through Program Income generated in Program Year (PY) 2013. Another $273,170.69 was funded through HOME Entitlement grant funds received from FFY 2009 through FFY 2014. Forty property closings took place between January 1 and December 31, 2014, of which 35 were drawn and closed in 2014, leaving 5 to meet completion in the first quarter of 2015. Two closings that took place in 2013 were drawn and completed in 2014. In summary, Gwinnett County’s Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program has identified $273,170.69 in PY 2014 expenditures benefitting 37 households.

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation – Welcome Home Program

In 2014, Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC) expended $392,550.00 of its total HOME 2012-2013 budget that it was awarded as a developer to complete construction of eight HOME funded affordable housing units and disposition of three units. As a part of its ‘Welcome HOME’ Program for first-time homebuyers, LHC constructed eight townhome


12

and will sell the properties to low- to moderate-income first-time homebuyers with deferred payment, zero-interest, homebuyer assistance loans of $14,975.00.

In 2014, LHC worked diligently to identify buyers for its townhome properties and by the close of the program year they had entered into a sales contract with a number of these clients. All eight townhomes are expected to be sold and closed out in IDIS by the end of 2015.

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation – Pathways Home Program

In 2014, Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC) expended $230,669.85 for the purposes of rehabilitating eight vacant properties acquired with previously receipted CHDO Proceeds from 2012 to 2013. As a part of its ‘Pathways Home’ transitional housing program for qualified households that are designated as ‘homeless’, LHC acquired and rehabilitated eight properties in Gwinnett County and then made those properties available for low-cost rental housing for very low-income households (below 60% AMI) that have completed a 30 day homeless recovery program and are transitioning from homelessness into stable housing conditions. Households must reflect that they are making progress towards self-sustainability and will be given the option of one additional year of re-certification if necessary.

Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership – CHDO Activities

Acting in capacity as Gwinnett County’s designated Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. acquired and rehabilitated one (1) property in 2014, expending $143,741.00 from CHDO Reserve funds awarded for FFY 2013. This property will be sold to one (1) HOME eligible low-income homebuyer who is able to qualify for a fixed-rate mortgage to purchase this home. In addition, ANDP expended $50,000.00 in FFY 2013 HOME CHDO Operating funds on housing staff operations conducted in 2014. ANDP will continue acquiring and rehabilitating single-family unit homes in 2015 as Gwinnett County’s designated CHDO.

Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) – Gwinnett County

Gwinnett County’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) is utilized for the purchase of foreclosed homes for rehabilitation and resale to eligible homebuyers. The NSP investment is leveraged to offset the decline of neighborhoods where housing values are deteriorating due to the number of foreclosed homes. NSP funds also provide affordable housing to NSP-eligible homebuyers through principal reduction/closing cost assistance.

NSP funds provided Homebuyer Assistance through a five or 10 year deferred loan term to 21 new homeowners who purchased Gwinnett NSP homes during 2014. Since 2009, Gwinnett County NSP has purchased and rehabilitated 169 homes with 156 sold at the time that this CAPER was prepared. As of December 31, 2014, Gwinnett County has expended over $36.8 million in NSP funds and has generated over $18.9 million in program income.

Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program

With funding made available through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, Gwinnett County’s Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program maintains affordable housing through the rehabilitation of the existing housing stock by making essential home repairs to help remedy deteriorating conditions. In 2014, housing rehabilitation assistance was provided to 22 Gwinnett County low- and moderate-income (LMI) households. From 2010 through 2014, Gwinnett County’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Program has completed 239 units, 239% of its projected goal to complete 100 rehabilitated units through 2014.

Priority Objective 2: Availability/Accessibility of Suitable Living Environment

In 2014, CDBG grant funds were utilized to fund Public Facilities/Infrastructure projects which provided new or increased availability and accessibility of Suitable Living Environments for residents of Gwinnett County.

Street Improvements (City of Buford, City of Loganville and City of Dacula)

• The City of Buford completed its Cloud Street – Street Improvements project during the third and fourth quarters of 2014, expending its total CDBG award of $50,000.00 before the close of 2014.

Lastly, the City of Dacula completed its Hill Circle Phase I & II – Street Improvements project within the second quarter of 2014 and expended its total award of $469,779.00 by the close of 2014. The Cities utilized CDBG funding to improve infrastructure in areas that directly benefit low-and moderate-income individuals. In Buford, the project area was qualified by census data as an eligible low- and moderate-income service area, identifying that 8 individuals would benefit directly from this street improvements project; whereas the Cities of Loganville and Dacula qualified their infrastructure projects through Project Service Area (PSA) household surveys. In Loganville, the PSA will benefit a total of 238 individuals, and in Dacula the PSA will benefit 63 individuals.

Sewer/Water Improvements (City of Buford and City of Loganville)

• Gwinnett County awarded CDBG funding to the City of Buford (FFY 2014 funding and reprogrammed FFY 2013 funding was awarded at the close of 2014) to improve sewer and waterline access to persons of low- and moderate-income levels. The City of Buford completed improvements to South Street Waterlines and Sewers along East Park, Garnett, and Alexander Streets, and expended its combined awards of $1,094,000.00 in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2014. In Buford, the project areas were qualified by census data as eligible low- and moderate-income service areas, identifying that 52 individuals would benefit directly from its waterline improvements project, and the individuals identified to benefit from its


14

sewer improvements project 350 (78%) of the 450 individuals identified are considered low- and moderate-income.

• The City of Loganville completed its FFY 2012 (reprogrammed funding received at the close of 2013) Pecan/Brand/Oak Grove Road Waterline Improvements project in 2013 but was awaiting Georgia Power to complete their certifications before the project could be considered closed. The City of Loganville completed the project $16,343.00 under budget expending $230,140.08 during the second quarter of 2014, with a total of $385,657.00 expended for the project. Household surveys were collected to qualify the Pecan/Brand/Oak Grove Road Waterline Improvements project where 12 (92%) of the 13 households surveyed are considered low- and moderate-income.

Childcare Center Playground Reconstruction (PADV-Gwinnett Safehouse Playground and Rainbow Village Community Center Playground)

• Partnership Against Domestic Violence, Inc. (PADV) utilized CDBG funding to construct a playground at the Gwinnett Safehouse which houses homeless women and children who are victims of domestic violence. Of the 144 women and children benefiting from this CDBG funded project, 140 [97%] are homeless. Construction of the playground was substantially completed by the end of 2013 and PADV expended 87% of its total award of $100,000.00.

Construction of the playground was substantially completed by the end of 2014 and RV expended $35,319.80 (78%) of its total award of $45,000.00. As installation of the playground equipment continues, RV will expend its total award within the first quarter of 2015.

Accessibility Improvements (City of Lilburn and Creative Enterprises, Inc.)

• The City of Lilburn utilized CDBG funding to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The City of Lilburn encountered design delays during 2013 and construction began in early 2014. The City’s project area was qualified by census data as an eligible low- and moderate-income service area, identifying that 49 individuals would benefit directly from its sidewalk expansion and accessibility improvements project.

• Creative Enterprises, Inc. (CEI) was awarded CDBG reprogrammed FFY 2013 funding at the close of 2014 to improve accessibility and safety standards at their Main Operating Building in Lawrenceville.

Senior Services Center Construction (Gwinnett County)

• Construction for the Gwinnett County Senior Services Center Phase II Kitchen Expansion project was substantially completed by the close of 2013; however, completion in IDIS was delayed due to LEED certification and the completion of punch items. This project is expected to close out by June 30, 2015. The project, has allowed the County to triple its capacity to provide Home Delivered Meals to homebound seniors.

Priority Objective 3: Sustainability of Suitable Living Environment

Provide Shelter to Homeless and Prevention Services for Those At Risk of Becoming Homeless

In the second quarter of 2014, Gwinnett County received $397,141 from FFY 2014 Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) Program funds.

c. Reasons for progress not made towards meeting the goals and objectives.

In 2014, Gwinnett County was successful in meeting or exceeding its overall goals and objectives – with the exception of the projects detailed below.

• The following projects met completion in December, but did not request timely reimbursement for their project. Final payment will occur and projects will be closed in IDIS in the first quarter of 2015.

o Gwinnett County Board of Education – Equipment Purchase o CredAbility – Homeless Support o Rainbow Village, Inc. – Playground Installation o Gwinnett Children’s Shelter – Shelter Operating Costs

• The Lawrenceville Senior Center Renovations project began in the second quarter of

2014; however, delays with the design and approvals process have prevented construction activities from commencing at the close of 2014. Construction is scheduled to begin during the second quarter of 2015.

• The Department of Transportation fell behind schedule due to Environmental Clearance delays and obstacles with US Army Corps of Engineers approval during mid-2014. Projected completion is unknown at this time.

• Families First, Inc. was unable to initiate its Gwindale Permanency Cooperative project in which they intended to make improvements to the interior and exterior of this single-family residential home which provides supportive care for male and female youth. After a determination that the organization did not have the capacity to carry out the scope of work necessary to complete the project, Families First, Inc. rescinded their award of $29,471.00.

• The Senior Service Center Phase 2 Construction began in January 2013 and was

substantially completed by the close of 2014. The project is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2015.

• Through additional technical assistance Gwinnett County Community Development

staff have created a plan to work with the following Subrecipients to expend their remaining balances in a timely manner in 2015.

o Hope Clinic, Inc. – Equipment Purchase o Hope Clinic, Inc. – Chronic Care Program Operating Costs o Gwinnett County Department of Community Services – Senior

Services Center Operating Costs o PADV – Domestic Violence Shelter Operating Costs

• Subrecipient Agreements are structured to permit the recapturing and reprogramming of funds by the County to maintain compliance with HUD’s timeliness standards. The FFY 2010 - FFY 2014 funds were approved for reprogramming by the Board of


17

Commissioners on January 6, 2015. The amounts are derived from previously completed projects that had remaining unexpended balances or recaptured funds that had not yet been expended before the termination date of their Agreements. The following table identifies the project details for recaptured funding from FFY 2010 - FFY 2014 and proposed project details for reprogramming those funds for rapid implementation during PY 2015.

d. Manner in which the recipient would change its program as result of its experiences.

Gwinnett County will take the following steps to improve its programs:

• Determine the feasibility of creating an online grants management process that would provide increased efficiency in the administration of grants awarded to Subrecipients, CHDOs, County Departments, and other vendors.

• Encourage and promote fair housing awareness and knowledge, through expanded marketing of affordable housing resources to additional neighborhoods, communities, and protected classes.

• Encourage more CHDO’s and other nonprofit and for-profit housing providers to participate in competition for Gwinnett County HOME Program funds.

2. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing

a. Summary of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice

In February 2011, the Gwinnett County Community Development Office updated its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The impediments identified in the AI included limited supply of affordable housing, unfair banking practices, unfair housing brokerage practices, discriminatory tenant practices, limited access to public transportation, and lack of fair housing awareness and education.

In 2014, the Community Development Program office began the process of recreating its AI as an accompanying document to the submission of its 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. The AI is scheduled to be delivered to HUD by April 10, 2015.

b. Actions taken to overcome effects of impediments identified

• Need for Fair Housing Activities: In 2014, the Gwinnett County Community Development Program conducted a Needs Assessment for its AI. As part of this Needs Assessment, residents in Gwinnett County were requested to give feedback either through a public survey, or by attending one of 12 public meetings.

The survey found that less than 40% of respondents knew their Fair Housing Rights and a total of 45% of residents who responded to the survey stated that they were not aware of what organizations provided fair housing services.

In order to address these concerns the Gwinnett County will award $40,000.00, in CDBG funds, to the Center for Pan-Asian Community Services to conduct Fair Housing Activities throughout Gwinnett County in 2015. These events will be done in conjunction with the Community Development Program and will focus on raising awareness about Fair Housing.


20

• Needs for Outreach and Education: See comments above.

• Limited Supply of Affordable Housing: During 2014, funds were expended to serve 22 households to rehabilitate the existing housing stock by making essential home repairs to help remedy deteriorating conditions. To further assist this effort, on January 6, 2015 the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners will approved an additional $266,823.13 in reprogrammed CDBG funds for this valued program.

In 2014, Gwinnett County used HOME entitlement funds to provide downpayment assistance to 38 income eligible first-time homebuyers through the Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program. The Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC) utilized a combination of HOME Program funds and CHDO Proceeds to purchase and rehabilitate ten households for its Transitional Housing program. Of the 10 purchased homes, eight were occupied by the end of 2014.

Gwinnett County also oversaw the completion of the construction of 16 townhomes at the Oakland Downs development by LHC. This project was funded through a combination of HOME and NSP grants. By the close of 2014 nine of the units had already been sold to income-eligible homebuyers. Since 2009, the Gwinnett Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) has acquired and rehabilitated 169 homes, of which 156 have been sold to NSP eligible homebuyers.

b. Worst-case needs (defined as low-income renters with severe cost burden, in substandard housing or involuntary displacement).

According to the data provided by the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), derived from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey (ACS), 24.24% of renters were considered low-income (at or below 80% Area Median Income [AMI]) with severe cost burdens (less than 50% of household income), thus considered a worse case need.

A transitional housing program was also initiated in 2014 by the Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC). Through this rental program for very-low income households (below 60% AMI) recovering from homelessness, LHC provided affordable rental housing to eight households. In 2014, 11 affordable housing units were acquired and rehabilitated with CHDO Proceeds received from past CHDO activity dispositions and $402,074.84 from FFY 2013 and 2014 HOME funds.

OTHER ACTIONS

a. Obstacles to meeting underserved needs

Obstacles to meeting underserved needs include:

1. Limited numbers of service organizations with the experience and capacity to address crucial service needs;

2. Diminishing financial support available from corporations and foundations; and

3. Growing number of low- and moderate-income persons in Gwinnett County, further taxing existing services and resources.

To address these obstacles, the Gwinnett County Community Development Program is working to increase the number of viable, capable service organizations that can address the Priority Needs identified in the Gwinnett County Consolidated Plan 2010-2014. These efforts include: technical assistance to existing and new service providers with regard to finding alternative funding sources, promoting collaborative efforts among existing service providers, and assisting new service organizations with needed training and administrative direction.

1. Fostering and maintaining affordable housing

The following is a list of actions taken by Gwinnett County during FFY 2014 to foster and maintain affordable housing (More details are presented under the General Narrative Section, under the Affordable Housing Subsection).

• During 2014, Gwinnett County expended $373,685.45 from CDBG funds to rehabilitate the homes of 22 homeowner households. While these numbers do represent a decrease from previous years performance they do exceed the annual goal set forth in the 2014 Action Plan of serving 15 eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners through the Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program.

• Gwinnett County expended $273,170.69 in HOME Program funds to provide downpayment assistance to 40 first time homebuyers.

• The IMPACT! Group, a HUD approved housing counseling agency, used CDBG funds from Gwinnett County to provide housing counseling to 469 households of which 339 or 72% were low-income (at or below 80% of Area Median Income).

• Since the creation of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) in 2009 Gwinnett County has acquired and repaired 169 homes, 156 of which have been sold to homebuyers. During 2014, 21 homes were sold to NSP-eligible homebuyers.


31

2. Eliminating barriers to affordable housing*

[See “Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing,” immediately above.]

In February 2011, Gwinnett County received revisions to its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). Impediments identified included: (1) a limited supply of affordable housing; (2) potential unfair banking practices; (3) potential unfair housing brokerage practices; (4) potential discriminatory tenant practices; (4) limited access to public transportation; and (5) lack of fair housing awareness and education.

*For a list of Impediments, and actions taken during 2014, see the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Section located in General Narratives.

3. Overcome gaps in institutional structures and enhance coordination

The Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services is the entity responsible for submitting the Consolidated Plan that is developed and coordinated through its supervision and oversight of the Gwinnett County Community Development Program (GCCDP). The GCCDP, staffed by program management firm, W. Frank Newton, Inc., assists the County by administering the day to day operations for the County’s CDBG, HOME, ESG, and NSP programs.

4. Improve public housing and resident initiatives

Public housing authorities in Gwinnett County are located in the cities of Buford, Lawrenceville, and Norcross. All of these authorities reported that during 2014 they provided opportunities for residents to participate as representatives of the agency by joining a Resident Advisory Board (RAB) and also offered mechanisms for tenants to submit suggestions and comments on agency operations, facility improvements, and programs of interest. All three authorities report that they encourage feedback from tenants. Housing authorities also offer financial literacy and planning classes when private or other external resources are made available.

The following is a brief description of the use of HUD funding received by each of the authorities.

The Housing Authority of the City of Buford

HUD awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Buford $229,958.00 through the FFY 2014 Capital Fund Grant for the purpose of making any necessary repairs and/or improvements to the public housing units in their community. The funding is provided to ensure that such developments continue to be available to serve low-income families.

Specific projects funded in 2014 include continuation of parking lot improvements from 2013 to increase access and transportation means for their occupied units in the City of Buford’s seven apartment developments. The Buford Housing Authority is earmarking capital funds for future replacements of roofs and windows to their Central office building


32

and for modernizing bathrooms to include handicap access improvements to their central office and community buildings.

The Housing Authority of the City of Lawrenceville

HUD awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Lawrenceville $240,878.00 through the FFY 2014 Capital Fund Grant to carry out any necessary repairs, renovations and/or modernization of the public housing units in their community, to ensure availability of decent housing to low-income families. In 2014, The Housing Authority of the City of Lawrenceville reserved its Capital Fund grant for purposes of constructing and converting old public housing units to Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD).

The Housing Authority of the City of Norcross

HUD awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Norcross with $46,541.00 through the FFY 2014 Capital Fund Grant to carry out the building, repair, renovation and/or modernization of the public housing in their community.

From the $46,541.00 received along with past Capital Funds the Housing Authority of Norcross expended their award on installing new roofs for six units (1 duplex and 1 quadruplex). Capital funds were also used to upgrade windows and pressure wash 25 housing units, install new tile floors in two units, replace doors in over 20 units and provide internal and external upkeep to all units during the year, including unit turn around for new tenants in four units.

5. Evaluate and reducing lead-based hazards

Lead-based paint and asbestos testing, performed by the County’s housing rehabilitation inspectors, is required for Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation program eligible clients whose houses were constructed prior to 1978. Before other repairs may occur, the hazardous materials must be removed or ameliorated, in compliance with EPA and HUD requirements. If a house tests positive for lead or asbestos, the CDBG loan is used to remove the materials containing the lead-based paint or asbestos. Certified lead-removal contractors must be hired to remove the hazardous materials and replace it with lead and asbestos free materials. During the removal process, the homeowners have the choice to either live with a relative/friend or if they choose to be temporarily relocated to a hotel/motel to protect them from contamination during the removal process. During 2014, 22 units participating in the Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation program were built prior to 1978, of which eight (8) tested positive for asbestos and none tested positive for lead.

6. Ensuring compliance with program and comprehensive planning requirements

7. Reducing the number of persons living below the poverty level

During 2014, Gwinnett County carried out the following activities in its efforts to help all individuals and families increase their economic stability:

1. Provided funding ($140,000) from local funds to Partnership Gwinnett, which seeks to develop economic opportunities through long term business investments.

2. Continued to provide CDBG funding to The IMPACT! Group to provide housing counseling services to predominantly low-income households. Housing Counseling offerings include financial advice and planning and guidance if dealing with housing discrimination.

3. Provided incentives for existing business to expand in designated “Opportunity Zones” by offering a tax credit based on the number of new jobs created. There are currently two Opportunity Zones located in Gwinnett County. Clearleap Inc., a leading provider of multiscreen video logistics for the broadcasting and pay-TV industry, announced their expansion to the Gwinnett Place Opportunity Zone in July 2014 to foster job growth and revitalization.

8. Leveraging Resources

a. Progress in obtaining other public and private resources that address the needs identified in the plan

The expenditure of CDBG, HOME, ESG, and NSP grant and program income funds leverages the investment of private and other non-Federal public resources. Matching funds are required for HOME expenditures – 25% of HOME expenses and by ESG – 100% of expenditures.

During 2014, matching funds leveraged for HOME and ESG totaled $937,330.69.

As detailed throughout this report, aside from the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and NSP entitlement grants administered by the County, agencies in Gwinnett County also utilize funds from HUD’s Supportive Housing Program (SHP), Shelter Plus Care awards, and Public Housing Capital Grant Funds. Other private resources are also leveraged through the investment of these HUD funds.

b. How federal resources from HUD leveraged other public and private resources

The expenditure ($273,170.69) of HOME funded Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program funds leveraged 40 private market sector mortgages that totaled over $4,250,000.00 during 2014. Similarly, eligible homebuyers in the Gwinnett County NSP Program expended $967,500.00 in homebuyer assistance funds, which leveraged over $5,057,800.00 in private market investment in affordable homes with an average purchase price of $133,100.00.

Gwinnett County HOME developer, Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC), used HOME Program funds to provide homebuyer assistance ($44,925.00) to three income eligible


35

homebuyers. The three homes were newly constructed by LHC in the Oakland Downs subdivision in Lawrenceville, where combined HOME and NSP funds were used to construct 16 affordable housing units.

9. Matching requirements

HOME Program Matching Funds

As set forth under 24 CFR Part 92.220, HOME grantees are required to provide a 25% match derived from non-Federal sources. Fulfillment of the matching funds requirements can be met by the Grantee or Subrecipient by providing matching funds derived from non-Federal sources such as monetary donations from the general public, corporations, foundations or other non-Federal government entities. Matching funds required by HOME program expenditures during the Program Year are always derived from sources which are permitted under 24 CFR 92 and detailed in CPD Notice 97-03.

For FFY 2014, Gwinnett County’s Match obligation as listed in IDIS report PR-33 was $73,768.28. Total HOME match contributions equaled $443,332.79, of which $65,330.00 was generated through the Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program and $368,002.79 was received from the HOME 2014 subrecipient agency and CHDO.

With excess match funds from prior HOME match contributions, Gwinnett County assumed $14,550,061.96 in Fiscal Year 2014. After meeting its required match obligation for FFY 2014, Gwinnett County will retain $14,476,293.68 in excess match contributions.

*See Attachment A-7 for a detailed HOME Match Report

ESG Program Matching Funds

As set forth under 42 U.S.C. 11375(a) (1), ESG grantees are required to provide a 1:1 match derived from non-Federal sources. Fulfillment of the matching funds requirements can be met by the Grantee or Subrecipient by providing matching funds derived from non-Federal sources such as monetary donations from the general public, corporations, foundations or other non-Federal government entities. In the case of emergency shelters, the matching funds requirements can also be met, in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 11375(a)(3), by documenting in-kind contributions such as the utilization of volunteers at a rate of $5.00/hr., the value of donated materials, buildings, etc. based on a calculation of fair market value. The total match received from the ESG subrecipients during PY 2014 was $493,997.90. Because of the delayed release of funds, FY 2014 funds will continue to be expended and matched in 2015.

NOTE: The sources and amounts of ESG matching funds are listed in Table 32.

10. Citizen Comments

Availability of FY 2014 CAPER for public review and comment

The draft CAPER was advertised for public comment on February 27, 2015 in the Gwinnett Daily Post. English and Spanish versions of the Public Notice are included in Exhibit 2. Copies of this notice were distributed through the Gwinnett County Community Development Program contact list of individuals and many organizations that serve low-income and minority communities, as well to organizations serving other protected classes.

A Public Hearing was held on March 4, 2015 @ 9:00 A.M. at:

Gwinnett County Community Development Program One Justice Square 446 West Crogan Street, Suite 275 Lawrenceville, Georgia 30046-2439

The deadline for the receipt of public comments on Draft CAPER 2014 was March 16, 2015 – 5:00 PM, EDT.

Public comments received during the Public Comment period are provided in Exhibit 2.

11. Self-Evaluation

a. Activities and strategies having an impact on identified needs and indicators that best describe overall results

Community Development Block Grant Program funds are utilized to implement a wide variety of housing and community development activities. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities to benefit low- and moderate-income residents. The Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program provides Gwinnett County homeowners with essential repairs to their home, which assists in the revitalizing and stabilizing the neighborhoods throughout Gwinnett County.

The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program funds provided Gwinnett County citizens with homeless solutions and homelessness prevention assistance.

Gwinnett County’s Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program, funded by the HOME Program, assists first–time homebuyers purchase homes in neighborhoods across the County, many of which were short sales or foreclosures. Additional HOME funded support through the Lawrenceville Housing Corporation’s Welcome Home Program results in the acquisition, rehabilitation and disposition of rejuvenated properties to income-eligible first-time homebuyers. This nonprofit’s Pathways HOME Program also acquires and rehabilitates distressed properties, but retains these properties for purposes of transitional housing for homeless households. These actions, combined with CHDO activities to


37

acquire, rehab and resell foreclosed properties helps stabilize neighborhoods by placing vacant properties back into homeownership.

Gwinnett County Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds were used to help slow the decline of neighborhoods where housing values and conditions were deteriorating due to the amount of foreclosed homes. Actively working to address the foreclosure problem in Gwinnett, the County uses NSP funds to purchase vacant foreclosed homes in targeted Census Tract/Block Groups, make necessary repairs to the homes, and resell the houses to income-eligible homebuyers. These actions help stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods.

b. Barriers that may have a negative impact on fulfilling strategies and achieving the overall vision?

• Job losses, bankruptcies, foreclosures and increasing demand for services. • A limited stock of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families who

need to live near place of employment due to limited transit options in Gwinnett County.

• A dramatically increasing population of immigrants with limited language skills who need adequate and affordable housing at a time when the housing marketplace continues to offer housing at higher prices than these households can afford.

• A growing homeless population, which consists mainly of single-mothers and children. This population often has limited job skills and/or education, which limit their ability to find employment at a level where they can attain self-sufficiency.

c. Adjustments or improvements to strategies and activities might help meet the identified needs more efficiently

• Increasing the engagement and involvement of Gwinnett County residents as volunteers and as donors for programs serving low- and moderate-income families and programs assisting the homeless or serving persons at risk of becoming homeless.

• Raising the level of awareness of policymakers and administrators of the growing impact resulting from the increasing numbers of low- and moderate-income residents of Gwinnett County and the need to target programs and activities of the County to address the challenge of meeting their increasing needs.

• A concerted effort to develop and implement fair housing education.


38

12. Monitoring

a. Monitoring Process, Procedures and Frequency

Monitoring Process

Gwinnett County established monitoring standards consistent with the federal guidelines for each HUD programs that it administers. These federal programs include: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program, and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). Monitoring procedures are described in the Operating Procedures for each of these programs. Gwinnett County also reviews applications for other programs which require consistency with the Consolidated Plan.

Subrecipient activities are monitored, in accordance with the Subrecipient Agreement, to ensure funds are used for eligible activities and are compliant with HUD’s program specific rules and regulations. Gwinnett County staff utilizes a Risk Analysis Matrix to assess the level of risk assigned to the subrecipient, which in turn determines the intensity of the monitoring recommended for the subrecipient.

To ensure grant program compliance, Gwinnett County staff reviews subrecipient’s monthly reports [Financial and Programmatic (to include contractor reporting to assess compliance with Section 3, Labor Standards, and Minority Business Outreach)], analyzes program financials, and makes periodic program visits. The Gwinnett County’s HOME, CDBG and NSP ongoing housing activities are continually monitored through review of household incomes, housing property standards (including Asbestos and Lead Based Paint Risk Assessment), and environmental reviews.

Monitoring Procedures

Monitoring is determined by using a risk assessment process to determine which subrecipient will be monitored. Monitoring involves a five-step process to ensure that all statutory and regulatory requirements are being met:

1. Monitoring organizations and programs which use federal funds awarded by Gwinnett County. Reports are made on a regular basis as required by the appropriate federal program regulations. Gwinnett County checks the records of organizations receiving federal funds from Gwinnett County to ensure the information is reported accurately and completely.

2. Collecting and reviewing data to ensure consistency with the Consolidated Plan. The County reviews the number, and types, of households served with federal funds and analyze leveraging and matching sources.

3. Making visits to each subrecipient organization to check records and verify the occurrence of grant funded activities.

4. Using a system of checklists and documentation for HUD-funded projects. Site visits to projects and reviews of project documentation are geared to ensure compliance with regulations and agreements.

5. Utilizing a system of notification to alert agencies or organizations when an instance(s) of non-compliance with federal regulations or county policies has been determined. The County notifies the agency or organization responsible and proceeds according to the established policies and procedures.

Gwinnett County’s monitoring tools were created to be consistent with those used by HUD in its monitoring of Gwinnett County’s Entitlement Grant programs. HUD’s documents are contained in the Community Planning and Development Monitoring Handbook.

Monitoring Frequency

Gwinnett County conducts annual subrecipient monitoring utilizing the HUD recommended risk assessment process. In some cases, a more frequent monitoring may be triggered by performance concerns or other compliance factors. Depending on the subrecipient, the nature of the project and results of previous monitoring, Gwinnett County may opt to conduct a Desk Monitoring rather than performing an on-site monitoring.

In 2014, eight (8) subrecipients received formal on-site monitoring. County monitoring involved on-site visits, review of program progress, audits of client files and beneficiary data, financial reviews, staff interviews and meetings, and follow up letters describing the results. Subrecipients were operating within the program and agreement requirements. Guidance was provided to organizations related to financial controls, intake verification, and performance measurements. Additionally, in 2014, 105 Gwinnett County housing units were monitored for program compliance; 83 of which were units inspected for housing standards compliance.

ESG

In Program Year 2014, the Gwinnett County Community Development Program closed out its FFY 2012 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The FFY 2013 ESG program was evaluated and funding was recaptured from poor performers and reprogrammed to high performers. These changes will allow Gwinnett County to fully expend these grant funds prior to grant closeout scheduled for August 2015. Subrecipients of FFY 2014 ESG funds are on track to meet project completion by December 31, 2015. HOME In Program Year 2014, the Gwinnett County Community Development Program closed out its Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Programs funded with FFY 2009 and 2011 HOME funds. The Lawrenceville Housing Corporation completed its Transitional Housing Program (HOME 2013) and its Oakland Downs Townhome Construction project (FFY 2013). Subrecipients of FFY 2014 HOME funds are on track to meet project completion and remaining projects have been funded with reprogrammed funds awarded by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on January 6, 2015 and therefore are just initiating project startup. *For a full report on the status of grant programs, see Attachments A–1 and A–2.

c. Are grants disbursed timely?

Grants disbursements are being made in a timely fashion in all cases, except those currently behind schedule, as noted above. Gwinnett County had a CDBG timeliness ratio of 1.45 on November 2, 2014 as exhibited by IDIS report PR 56.

CDBG Timeliness Compliance:

Local governments receiving CDBG Entitlement funds from HUD may have no more than 1.5 times their most recent CDBG grant amount remaining in their HUD Letter of Credit by the end of the tenth month of their CDBG Program Year. For Gwinnett County this means the end of October of every year.

Although Gwinnett County did not receive its FFY 2014 allocation until the end of June 2014, it was able to reach 1.45 and comply with the 1.5 compliance requirements when HUD ran its annual expenditure report on November 3, 2014.

With the exception of PY 2011, Gwinnett County has fulfilled its obligation to expend its CDBG funds in a timely manner for four (4) of the five (5) years of its current Consolidated Plan (2010-2014). During PY 2012, Gwinnett County created and successfully implemented a Workout Plan. The County has met its 1.5 Timeliness Requirement each year since its Workout Plan implementation.

Gwinnett County had no CDBG loan defaults during 2014.

Lump Sum Agreements:

The CDBG Regulations (24 CFR 570.513) permit CDBG funds to be drawn from IDIS in a Lump Sum for the purpose of Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program. In order to help meet the demand for rehabilitation assistance, Gwinnett County performed a Lump Sum Drawdown in an amount of $2,718,115.38 in May 2012, utilizing Wells Fargo Bank as its financial institution. These funds were invested to address Gwinnett County Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program goals. The CDBG Program regulations for Lump Sum drawdown require that 100% of the total lump sum drawdown funds must be locally disbursed within 24 months. By December 31, 2013, the County expended $2,269,761.53, representing 84% of the Lump Sum Drawdown. The remainder of the 2012 Lump Sum Drawdown ($448,353.85) had to be expended by May 9, 2014, to comply with the 2-year Lump Sum Drawdown expenditure deadline. Unfortunately, due to individual project delays, Gwinnett County did not meet this deadline. After completion of all Lump Sum funded rehabilitation projects, a total of $153,216.41 in unobligated 2012 Lump Sum funds were wired from Gwinnett County to HUD to be deposited in Gwinnett County’s 2012 CDBG Line of Credit. These funds remain allocated to the Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program and, at the time of this CAPER 2014 submission, these funds were fully obligated to eligible homeowners.

II. HOME Program

Local Priority Objectives Addressed in 2014:

AH1 Principal Reduction [Downpayment Assistance] & Closing Cost Reduction for first-time homebuyers

AH3 Homebuyer/homeowner renter education/counseling on housing issues and housing finance (including predatory lending practices)

During 2014, Gwinnett County addressed the affordable housing needs of low- and moderate-income households by expending its HOME Program funds for homebuyer assistance and by using HOME and CHDO Reserve funds to acquire and rehabilitate vacant single-family homes for sale to first-time homebuyers or transitional housing for very-low income ‘homeless’ households.

Assessment of the Relationship of HOME funds and Goals and Objectives

a. Assess the use of HOME funds in relation to the priorities, needs, goals and specific objectives in Consolidated Plan/Action Plan

The table below identifies the County’s high priority housing needs and the proportion of the PY 2014 HOME funds committed to each activity. These commitments are made to address the County’s needs identified in the Consolidated Plan 2010-2014.

b. Evaluation of progress toward meeting the goals of providing affordable housing using HOME, include number and types of housing.

Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program

Gwinnett County’s Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program used HOME entitlement grant and program income funds to provide downpayment assistance to 40 first-time homebuyer families, 67% of the annual goal (60). The purchase price of the home must also be compliant with the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) Section 215(b) homeownership value limits. NAHA’s 215(b) 95% Median Purchase Price limits in Gwinnett County created a shortage of units that would be considered eligible for purchase in the program. Also, decreased household income limits for 2014 created a shortage for program eligible first-time homebuyers. At the end of 2014, 6 additional qualified applications were ready to be processed in early 2015.

In 2014, Gwinnett County provided 40 (37 of which were closed in IDIS at the end of the report period) income eligible first-time homebuyers with deferred payment loans. Program Income in the amount of $68,766.71 and $204,403.98 from direct HOME grant funds was expended.

Pathways Home Program: In 2014, Lawrenceville Housing Corporation (LHC) expended $230,669.85 for the purposes of rehabilitating eight vacant properties acquired with previously receipted CHDO Proceeds from 2012 to 2013. As a part of its ‘Pathways Home’ transitional housing program for qualified households that are designated as ‘homeless’, LHC acquired and rehabilitated eight properties in Gwinnett County and then made those properties available for low-cost rental housing for very low-income households (below 60% AMI) that have completed a 30 day homeless recovery program and are transitioning from homelessness into stable housing conditions. Households must reflect that they are making progress towards self-sustainability and will be given the option of one additional year of re-certification if necessary.

HOME MBE and WBE Reports:

Gwinnett County encourages minority and women owned businesses to bid on its HOME Program Funded housing work and will continue its efforts to outreach in this manner. During 2014, Gwinnett County awarded 7.8% ($232,690.67) of its total contracts to Minority Owned Businesses, 1.0% ($27,000.00) to Section 3 businesses, and 38.0% ($1,141,988.47) to Women Owned Businesses.

Oakland Downs, a 16 unit townhome project located in Lawrenceville, was approved by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in 2013 and construction was completed on these units in 2014. The developer for this property is a subsidiary of a local Housing Authority and therefore they post all potential job openings locally to encourage the hire of Section 3 residents.

HOME Affirmative Marketing Actions:

The Gwinnett County HOME Program Operating Procedures have ensured that each appropriate HOME-assisted project adheres to Affirmative Marketing Guidelines. These procedures, as required by the HOME Program regulations (24 CFR Part 92), apply to all HOME Program housing with five or more units.

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation and its general contractor, Carnesville Home & Supply ensured that Affirmative Marketing Guidelines were compliant as construction was completed on eight (8) HOME funded townhome units in the Oakland Downs subdivision.

Outreach to minorities and women owned businesses:

MBE and WBE forms are included in all procurement documents. Gwinnett County and its Subrecipients, encourage MBE, WBE and Section 3 firms to bid on CDBG/HOME/ESG/NSP work activities. The Gwinnett County Program Management Firm, W. Frank Newton, Inc., maintains contact with the Hispanic Contractor’s Association of Georgia and transmits bid information to this organization so as to increase the number of awards to minority contractors. During 2014, Gwinnett County awarded 7.8% ($232,690.67) of its total contracts to Minority Owned Businesses, 1.0% ($27,000.00) to Section 3 businesses, and 38.0% ($1,141,988.47) to Women Owned Businesses.

On HOME funded acquisition and rehabilitation projects, MBEs and WBEs were encouraged to submit a bid on any contracts for rehabilitation work. One qualified MBE was solicited to submit a bid for procurement on homeowner rehabilitation work however, a bid for the work was never submitted by the MBE.

Oakland Downs, a 16 unit townhome project located in Lawrenceville, was approved by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in 2013. The developer for this property is a subsidiary of a local Housing Authority and therefore they post all potential job openings locally to encourage the hire of Section 3 residents.


58

Additionally the Gwinnett County NSP program follows all HOME operational procedures with regard to its MBE, WBE, and Section 3 requirements. The NSP program currently has one MBE that works as a developer within the program (DMD Engineering & Construction, Inc.).

III. HOPWA Program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides HOPWA Program grant funds to the largest city (Atlanta, Georgia) in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Organizations from throughout metropolitan Atlanta apply for HOPWA funding to the City of Atlanta to provide housing services for persons with AIDS or HIV. The funding information and service data for the HOPWA Program are included in the City of Atlanta’s CAPER 2014. HOPWA funding totaling $ 671,000.00 was awarded to AID Gwinnett for July 2014 through June 2016 to help funding housing programs to assist clients in Gwinnett County.

IV. Emergency Solutions Grant Program

Priority Needs Addressed in 2014:

HML: Increase Housing Options for Homeless and Near-Homeless Individuals and Families.

HML2: Address the emergency shelter needs of homeless persons, including families, adults, and youth.

HML6: Help prevent homelessness of low-income individuals and families.

Emergency Solutions Grant funds were used to address the needs of the homeless or near homeless in Gwinnett County. The need for emergency and transitional housing is addressed by using emergency shelters, “extended stay” economy motels, permanent transitional housing, and rapid re-housing apartments with funding provided by Gwinnett County’s Emergency Solutions Grants Program, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (ESG and State Housing Trust Fund monies), and the Balance of State Continuum of Care. The existing shelter spaces are not adequate to meet the growing demand for housing for the homeless in Gwinnett County, and the primary shelter resource – extended stay motels – is not a long-term solution. During 2014, $462,666.27 was expended from FFY 2011 - FFY 2014 ESG entitlement funds by nonprofit service providers (Center for Pan Asian Community Services, The Latin American Association, Norcross Cooperative Ministry, Partnership Against Domestic Violence, Rainbow Village, The Salvation Army, and View Point Health) to provide homeless solutions to address the needs of the homeless or near homeless in Gwinnett County. By the second quarter of 2015, all remaining FFY 2013 and FFY 2014 ESG funds will be expended and closed out in IDIS. All ESG funds must be expended within 24 months of their award date from HUD. a. Actions to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless

individuals and families (including significant subpopulations such as those living on the streets).

Homeless Need # 1 – Inadequate Supply of Emergency Shelter Unfortunately, Gwinnett County has only one emergency shelter, SaltLife Center, to house homeless single mothers and children; however, there are no general emergency shelters for individuals who have lost their housing due to economic or physical disaster. Two shelters house homeless women and children who are victims of domestic violence in Gwinnett County. Other nonprofit organizations provide shelter for children, and persons suffering from mental health and substance abuse. In addition, a few local churches assist with emergency housing needs by sheltering and sponsoring needy families. The existing


61

shelter services do not meet the current and growing demand for emergency shelter in Gwinnett County, and this problem will continue to increase in the future unless additional shelter options become available. While the shelter shortage remains a challenge, Gwinnett County awarded FFY 2014 ESG shelter funds ($238,280.00) to homeless service providers: Center for Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS), Norcross Cooperative Ministries (NCM), Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV), The Salvation Army, Rainbow Village, and View Point Health. Homeless Need #2 – Inadequate Supply of Transitional Housing During 2014, 110 transitional housing units were operated in Gwinnett County by the following 11 nonprofit organizations, using Supportive Housing Funds, other public funds, and private donations.

The IMPACT! Group: Operated 27 units of transitional housing, acquired with a combination of CDBG, and Supportive Housing Program funds, or, are rented. The organization provides housing and supportive services primarily for homeless families with children. The program incorporates the following goals for the beneficiary families:

• Gain/regain financial stability.

• Acquire permanent affordable housing.

• Provide the necessary life skills to remain in the acquired housing.

• Acquire reasonable self-sufficiency, which includes a regular savings regime, improved credit, reduction of past debt, and the determination to live within their means.

Rainbow Village: Operated 12 transitional housing units, utilizing Supportive Housing Funds.

Partnership Against Domestic Violence: Operated nine units of transitional housing for homeless victims of domestic violence.

Action Ministries: Operated seven transitional housing units in Gwinnett County.

AID Gwinnett, Inc.: Operated 18 transitional housing units in Gwinnett County utilizing Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funds.

Asian American Resource Center: Operated four transitional housing units utilizing Supportive Housing Funds.

Family Promise of Gwinnett: Operated two transitional housing units using Supportive Housing Funds.

Hope Atlanta: Operated two transitional housing units in Gwinnett County.


62

Lawrenceville Housing Corporation: Operated ten transitional housing units utilizing Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds.

The Salvation Army - Gwinnet Corps.: Operated 12 transitional housing units using Supportive Housing Funds, United Way funds, and local grants.

View Point Health: Operated seven transitional housing units utilizing funds from the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities.

b. Progress made in using ESG funds to address homeless and homelessness prevention and goals.

During PY 2014, Gwinnett County remained involved in expanding collaborative efforts among homeless, transitional and prevention service organizations. This involvement included providing technical assistance and funding for emergency shelter through the Center for Pan Asian Community Services, The Latin American Association, Norcross Cooperative Ministry, Partnership Against Domestic Violence, Rainbow Village, and The Salvation Army.

Further technical assistance and funding has also been provided to address homelessness prevention, to the Asian American Resource Center, Norcross Cooperative Ministry, and The Salvation Army as a result of an increase in demand due to foreclosures, lay-offs and the rising cost of living.

c. Relationship of the use of ESG funds to the implementation of comprehensive homeless planning strategy, including the number and types of individuals and persons in households served with ESG funds.

Gwinnett County ESG projects reflect the priorities set in the County’s Consolidated Plan 2010-2014 and homeless planning strategy, as a participating locality in the Georgia Balance of State Continuum of Care.

Following the Continuum of Care model, providers of services to the homeless and persons at risk of becoming homeless provide:

1. Housing and financial counseling;

2. Payment of rent/mortgage payments/utility payments to prevent evictions;

3. Emergency shelter for short-term housing of the homeless;

4. Transitional housing for homeless persons who need longer to become self-sufficient; and

5. Permanent housing through affordable rental housing or homeownership through programs, which use HOME Program funds to finance rental housing or homeownership opportunities.

Based on the monthly beneficiary reports submitted by subrecipient organizations, a total of 738 persons were served by Emergency Solutions Grant. The 2014 annual goal was to serve 1,261 individuals who were homeless or at risk at becoming homeless. The number of persons served in 2014 represented 59% of the annual goal.

ESG Matching Resources: As set forth under 42 U.S.C. 11375(a)(1), ESG grantees are required to provide a 1:1 match derived from non-Federal sources. Fulfillment of the matching funds requirements can be met by the Grantee or Subrecipients by providing matching funds derived from non-Federal sources such as monetary donations from the general public, corporations, foundations or other non-Federal government entities. In the case of emergency shelters,


64

the matching funds requirement can also be met, in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 11375(a)(3), by documenting in-kind contributions such as the utilization of volunteers at a rate of $5.00/hr., the value of donated materials, buildings, etc. based on a calculation of fair market value. The match received from subrecipients in PY 2014 totaled $493,997.90.

Homeless Discharge Coordination: Gwinnett County utilizes the “Housing First” model as temporary housing for persons who are being released from health care facilities, youth facilities, or correctional institutions. An agreement was reached between United Way and the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department, in early 2012, to provide needed housing for released non-violent inmates who are homeless. Gwinnett County requires any organization receiving its ESG funds to comply with the HUD homeless discharge coordination requirements. During FFY 2014, no ESG homelessness prevention funds were used to assist individuals or families being released from publicly funded institutions. ESG Financial Report – Expenditures in PY2014:

INTRODUCTION Gwinnett County is pleased to submit the 2014 Annual Performance Report (APR) to the Georgia Office of Community Planning and Development, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and to our key stakeholders: local government and community leaders, residents of Gwinnett County, CDBG Subrecipients, and participating contractors/subcontractors. Gwinnett County, a suburban community located in the northeast portion of the Atlanta Metropolitan area, has been a recipient of CDBG funding since 1986. To date, Gwinnett County has received over $90 million in CDBG funding from HUD. Gwinnett County allocates resources and chooses projects every five years in preparation of their Consolidated Plan and each corresponding annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan presents a framework for the comprehensive use of federal, state, local, and private resources to increase affordable housing and maintain a suitable living environment. This document identifies priority housing needs and describes the strategy for organizing and allocating all available resources to address those needs.

Each year, Gwinnett County evaluates priority objectives listed in the Consolidated Plan, then makes local, community-based decisions on how to use its CDBG resources. As a general HUD requirement, Gwinnett County utilizes 15% of its total CDBG allocation on Public Service activities. Nonprofit agencies and Gwinnett County departments carry out projects that provide services to low-income individuals and presumed benefit clientele. Additionally, Gwinnett County complies with HUD requirements to use no more than 20% of its annual allocation for Program Administration. This year, the County utilized only 6% of its 20% allowance providing more funding to be utilized for CDBG eligible activities that directly serve the low- and moderate-income residents of Gwinnett County. Gwinnett County also utilizes CDBG funding to assist qualified residents maintain and update their homes by providing financial assistance to homeowners. The availability of affordable loans provides low-income homeowners the opportunity to make repairs to their homes and ultimately helps maintain Gwinnett County’s housing stock.

This APR summarizes our resources and programmatic accomplishments and assesses our progress toward addressing Gwinnett County’s goals and priority objectives. Each major section includes an informational summary followed by detailed information and statistics.

Introduction

Gwinnett County is pleased to submit the 2014 Annual Performance Report to the Georgia Office of Community Planning and Development, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and to our key stakeholders: local government and community leaders, residents of Gwinnett County, Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), Subrecipients, developers, owners, and sponsors.

Gwinnett County, a suburban community located in the northeast portion of the Atlanta Metropolitan area, has been a recipient of HOME funding since 1992. From 1992-1999, Gwinnett received funds as a part of a Consortium that included Cobb County, Fulton County (excluding the City of Atlanta), Clayton County, and the Cities of Marietta and Roswell. In May of 1999, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted to withdraw from the GUCC, commencing with the Program Year 2000. Fulton County’s withdrawal from the GUCC caused Clayton and Gwinnett Counties to lose their contiguous border with Cobb County and their ability to continue participation in the GUCC for the years 2000 and beyond.

Gwinnett County allocates resources and chooses projects every five years in preparation of their Consolidated Plan and each corresponding annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan presents a framework for the comprehensive use of federal, state, local, and private resources to increase affordable housing and maintain a suitable living environment. This document identifies priority housing needs and describes the strategy for organizing and allocating all available resources to address those needs.

Each year, Gwinnett County evaluates priority objectives listed in their Consolidated Plan, and then makes local, community-based decisions on how to use its HOME resources. HUD requires that Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) receive a minimum of 15% of Gwinnett County’s HOME allocations. These nonprofit agencies carry out projects that provide additional affordable housing in their community. The remaining HOME funds are often used in partnership with local nonprofit groups - to fund a wide range of activities that build, acquire, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing for rent or homeownership or provide direct rental assistance to low-income people.

The following entities perform additional activities:

Subrecipients – Public agencies or nonprofit organizations that administer a specific housing program on behalf of Gwinnett County;

Developers – Individuals, corporations, partnerships, public agencies, or nonprofit organizations that own property, or have a contractual obligation to a property owner, to develop affordable housing;

Owners – Individuals, corporations, partnerships, or other legal entities that hold legal title to or have a long-term lease for property to be developed for affordable housing; and


80

Sponsors – Individuals, corporations, partnerships, public agencies, or nonprofit organizations that own property, develop it to provide affordable housing, and transfer ownership to a nonprofit organization during the development process.

Gwinnett County has 24 months to enter into written agreements with CHDOs, Subrecipients, developers, owners, and sponsors to commit HOME Program funds. These funds must be spent within four years (CHDO has an additional one year to expend funds).

HOME funded projects specifically reflect a vision of decent housing in decent neighborhoods for every resident of Gwinnett County. Needs are great and resources are limited, so difficult choices were made as to which problems could be effectively addressed.

2014 Expenditures

In 2014, Gwinnett County expended $1,421,689.69 ($1,352,922.98 entitlement funds and $68,766.71 program income). These expenditures are identified by program activity in the table below.

HOME Match FFY 2014

Gwinnett County’s Match Requirement for October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 was $73,768.28. Gwinnett County’s Homestretch program generated $443,332.79 in match during this period, and has accrued excess match since 1993 in the amount of $14,550,061.96.

Gwinnett County’s match funds are primarily generated through the Homestretch downpayment assistance program and consist of the equity amount in the home that is


81

available when a homebuyer completes their closing purchase. Match was also contributed from Gwinnett County subrecipients and CHDO private fund contributions, property equity, and forgone fees and charges.

Housing Goals & Priority Objectives

Gwinnett County’s 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan established the following housing priority goals and objectives:

Housing Goal [AH]: Increase Access to Affordable Housing for Low and Moderate-Income Persons

Increasing opportunities for affordable housing is rated as the highest priority need for Gwinnett County due to the burden it places on low- and moderate-income residents. The high cost of initial principal payments on a home is a frequent deterrent for potential first-time homebuyers who are deciding between purchasing and renting a home. Also, substandard housing, in addition to the health and safety hazards it presents can also cause a cost burden on residents with limited resources to pay for necessary repairs. The recent economic downturn has increased the need for rehabilitating aging infrastructure for the County to remain livable, affordable, and competitive in the ever-changing economy.

This need is readily addressed with Consolidated Plan resources by providing deferred payment loan opportunities to eligible first-time homebuyers and also working in conjunction with nonprofit and private contractors that have the capacity and are qualified to rehabilitate affordable single-family housing. Deferred payment loans make this process economically feasible for residents’ at all financial levels, as these loans do not require repayment.

AH1: Principal Reduction [Downpayment Assistance] & Closing Cost Reduction for First-time Homebuyers

AH2: Rehabilitation of Existing Housing for First-time Homebuyers

AH3: Homebuyer Education/Counseling

AH7: Encourage Private and Nonprofit Developers by Funding Acquisition, Development, and Rehabilitation Activities

Summary of Accomplishments

This year, Gwinnett County spent the greatest share of HOME program funds to reduce the high cost of housing through the following strategies:

Downpayment and closing costs assistance for 40 first time homebuyers; and Acquisition and rehabilitation of 9 single-family unit properties for both resale to

income eligible first-time homebuyers, and use as transitional housing units for income eligible renters.


82

Gwinnett County partners with nonprofit developers in the acquisition and rehabilitation of single-family unit homes to increase availability of affordable housing for low- to moderate-income households. Gwinnett County also implemented other strategies and programs to increase the supply of affordable housing, including: providing joint HOME and NSP funding for site work on a new affordable housing development and initiating a transitional housing project for the homeless. Applicants for homeownership are required to participate in pre-purchase housing counseling. The pre-purchase counseling provides applicant(s) with the opportunity to clear credit problems and learn financial planning skills prior to purchasing a home. Many of these applicants, without our programs, would be subject to mortgages from sub-prime lenders. Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program

Initially managed by a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) through 2008, the Homestretch Downpayment Assistance Program was brought in-house to be managed by Gwinnett County Community Development Program staff in 2009. Specifically created to assist low- to moderate-income households in affording the principal payments and closings costs on their first home purchase, this program is one of Gwinnett County’s largest housing programs. First-time homebuyers that are below 80% Area Median Income (AMI) receive a deferred-payment, zero-interest loan of $7,500.00 to help pay the minimum downpayment requirement, along with any additional closing costs such as: title examination costs, appraisal fees, insurance costs, filing and recording fees, and attorney fees.

In order to become eligible, the homebuyer must also attend an 8 hour pre-purchase housing counseling course with a HUD approved housing counseling agency and must be pre-approved for their first mortgage with a 640 minimum credit score. Eligible homebuyers must purchase a single-family unit home, town home or condominium that was constructed after 1978 and located in Gwinnett County. Homebuyers must have a back end debt-to-income ratio of 43% to meet Gwinnett County program requirements and Qualified Mortgage (QM) requirements. The purchase price of the home must also be compliant with the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) Section 215(b) homeownership value limits. The property must also pass a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) program inspection, conducted by an inspector contracted with Gwinnett County. To maintain the terms of their loan agreement, must remain the clients primary residence for a 5-year, pro-rated affordability period.

In 2014, Gwinnett County provided 40 (37 of which were closed in IDIS at the end of the report period) income eligible first-time homebuyers with deferred payment loans. Program Income in the amount of $68,766.71 and $204,403.98 from direct HOME grant funds was expended.

Introduction

The Gwinnett County Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was created to gradually assist the decline of neighborhoods where housing values and conditions are deteriorating due to the presence of foreclosed homes. NSP additionally provides affordable housing to eligible low, moderate, and middle income homebuyers. To address the foreclosure problem, Gwinnett County utilizes NSP funds to purchase vacant foreclosed homes, make necessary repairs on the homes, and resell the houses to income eligible homebuyers.

In 2009, Gwinnett County Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) received $10,507,827.00 in grant funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and $3,901,338.19 from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for NSP1. The rehabilitation of purchased homes, including duplexes and other multi-family homes, and to provide housing to low income families, either through the sale of single family homes or through renting duplexes and other multi-family homes is the focus for the funding of NSP1.

In 2011, Gwinnett County received an additional $2,065,581.00 from HUD and $3,493,905 from DCA in grant funds for NSP3. The additional funds are utilized to continue the efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The homes are then rehabilitated into move-in condition and then sold to income eligible homebuyers who receive Homebuyers Assistance funds.

The NSP Homebuyers Assistance is a deferred loan that is offered to income eligible homebuyers who maintain the property as a primary residence. The homebuyers are offered two loan options:

• $22,500 ten year affordability period, reduced by 10% per year. • $14,500 five year affordability period, reduced by 20% per year.

In efforts to stabilizing communities, Gwinnett County NSP requires homebuyers receiving NSP assistance to attend eight hours of homebuyer education from a HUD Certified Housing Counseling agency.


90

2014 Overview of Gwinnett County Neighborhood Stabilization Program In the first quarter of 2014, both HUD and DCA approved a substantial amendment to Gwinnett County’s 2008 and 2010 Action Plan which called for the expansion of the target area for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). When calculating its new target area Gwinnett County utilized the NSP mapping tool that HUD provided for entitlement grantees. With each of Gwinnett County's census tracts selected the proposed Target Area scored an average of 18.02. Data received by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) identified the entire county as an area of high risk of foreclosures, therefore prompting the target area expansion. This expansion was a necessary step to ensure that the program could increase its property inventory and program capacity in a very competitive marketplace. Additionally, this expansion helped prep both of Gwinnett’s NSP grants as they move towards closeout which is scheduled to occur by the end of 2015. In March of 2014, NSP announced that its NSP1 and NSP3 grants met the 100% expenditure deadline. Additionally, during the program year NSP achieved the 25% set-aside national objective requirement for NSP1 and NSP3. The staff is currently preparing the NSP1 grant for closeout expecting to finalize the process in 2015. NSP Project Updates

In 2010, the NSP program acquired a multi-family project at Bradford Gwinnett Townhomes that consists of 92 townhome units. The Bradford Gwinnett project utilized NSP1 funds for the rehabilitation of the townhomes. The project was completed in 2013 and was formally closed out in the first quarter of 2014. This community is currently being managed by Riverstone Residential Corporation. Compliance for this

project is ongoing with monthly rental reports being submitted. As of the end of 2014 the townhome development was at full capacity.

In 2013, Gwinnett County approved the Oakland Downs Townhome Community project. This project is a collaboration utilizing funding from both NSP and HOME grant funds. Construction of the townhomes began during the first quarter of 2014. A total of 16 townhomes were built that made up two buildings, each housing eight units.

Bradford Gwinnett Townhomes


91

NSP grant funds were utilized to construct one of the buildings, while HOME funds were utilized to construct the second. These townhomes were developed specifically to increase the County’s supply of affordable housing. In addition to meeting a need within the community, they also helped the County’s NSP program meet its National Objective of expending at least 25% of its grant allocation on low-income households. All of the homes in Oakland Downs that were built with NSP funds are reserved for homebuyers whose income qualifies under 50% of Area Median Income (AMI).

In October 2014, The Lawrenceville Housing Authority announced the completion of the construction of all 16 townhome units. At the close of 2014, four of the eight NSP funded units had been sold to income qualified homebuyers. The remaining four units are still on the market with the intent of selling by Spring 2015.

NSP Property Data

Acquisition

In 2014, the NSP program acquired 21 properties by expending a total of $2,022,446.90 in NSP program funds. The program expended a total of $456,040.94 in grant funds and $1,563,405.96 in program income. The program has now acquired a total of 169 homes for the purposes of rehabilitation and resale.

Of the 21 properties that were acquired, 13 were designated as low-income properties and eight were designated as mid/moderate-income properties. Properties receive designation when they are acquired in order to ensure compliance with the low-income set-aside national objective.

The majority of the acquisitions in 2014 were located around the Lawrenceville area. A total of 14 properties (66.7%) were from this area, while the other sites were scattered throughout Gwinnett County. The table on the next page shows a breakout of property location by both municipality and zip code.

Rehabilitation

To date Gwinnett County has sold 156 of the 169 homes it has acquired, leaving 13 properties currently undergoing rehabilitation. In 2014, Gwinnett County expended a total of $1,989,542.63 on rehabilitation activities with just over 67% of that ($1,339,734.01) being spent on properties designated as low-income. The following graph shows a breakdown of the programs rehabilitation expenses by grant.

The majority of grant activity over the last year was in both of Gwinnett’s NSP3 grants which are illustrated in the graph above. Given the relative age of the NSP3 grants (3 years) compared to the NSP1 grants (5 years) these expenditure levels are as expected.

Disposition

For Program Year 2014 the Gwinnett County NSP program sold 21 properties, including four sales from the Oakland Downs project. In total, all four NSP grants provided $516,000.00 in homebuyer’s assistance to income eligible homebuyers in 2014. The chart below shows how the 21 sales broke down by grant.

Client Data

In 2014 a total of 21 single-family homes were sold to income-eligible families throughout Gwinnett County.

As Gwinnett County continued to prepare all of its NSP grants for closeout the focus for the year was to serve low-income clients. This was done to ensure that the grants would be fully compliant with the required low-income set-aside.

Gwinnett County is considered to be one of the most diverse counties in the Metro Atlanta area. That diversity is shown in the results from its NSP program in 2014. It also shows that the need for Affordable Housing is not simply an issue for a single demographic but rather an issue for a wide range of residents in Gwinnett County.

Program Grant Expenditures

In 2014, NSP1 expended $1,523,625.60 ($278,234.10 Grant Funds and $1,245,391.50 Program Income) and NSP3 expended $3,065,685.40 ($1,428,634.80 Grant Funds and $1,637,050.60 Program Income) to acquire, rehabilitate and resell foreclosed and abandoned properties throughout Gwinnett County to low- and mid/moderate-income homebuyers.

The NPS1 program has expended $13,799,333.56 in grant funds and $14,468,754.8 in Program Income. Combined the program has expended a total of $28,268,088 grant to date.

The NSP3 program has expended $4,564,275.71 in grant funds and $4,056,265.89 in Program Income. Combined the NSP 3 expended a total of 8,620,541.60 since the grant was awarded in 2011. The table below shows grant expenditures broken out over all four of Gwinnett’s grants.

Annual Performance U.S. Department of Housing OMB Approval No. 2506-0171 HOME Program and Urban Development (exp. 05/31/2007) Office of Community Planning And Development Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2.5 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number. The HOME statute imposes a significant number of data collection and reporting requirements. This includes information on assisted properties, on the owners or tenants of the properties, and on other programmatic areas. The information will be sued: 1) to assist HOME participants in managing their programs; 2) to track performance of participants in meeting fund commitment and expenditure deadlines; 3) to permit HUD to determine whether each participant meets the HOME statutory income targeting and affordability requirements; and 4) to permit HUD to determine compliance with other statutory and regulatory program requirements. This data collection is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act or related authorities. Access to Federal grant funds is contingent on the reporting of certain project-specific data elements. Records of information collected will be maintained by the recipients of the assistance. Information on activities and expenditures of grant funds is public information and is generally available for disclosure. Recipients are responsible for ensuring confidentiality when public disclosure is not required. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This form is intended to collect numeric data to be aggregated nationally as a complement to data collected through the Cash and Management Information (C/MI) System.
