provisions relating to impounds of vehicles for violations of driving while license is suspended

Re: City of Bremerton Block Grant Program 2014 Policy Plan and NOFA
The City will again conduct a Coordinated Grant Application process in cooperation with Kitsap
County Block Grant and KRCC Homeless and Affordable Housing Grant programs. 2014 will be our
second year utilizing a 3rd party vendor, Review Room, to develop and host an online application. The
online application has proven to be a great tool for streamlining, timesaving, and conservation of
resources, especially in the 2nd year.
The 2014 Notice of Funding Availability for the Coordinated Grant Application provides
information about the funds available, funding schedule, review and rating process, how to
submit an application and where to obtain assistance.
The 2014 CDBG / HOME Policy Plan is a joint document of the City and County Block Grant
Programs. It sets parameters for the management of our HUD entitlement grant awards,
provides specific information about the policies and regulations for the use of HUD Block Grant
funds, includes the Citizen Participation Plan, and outlines the allocation process. Each year the
Policy Plan is reviewed and presented to Council for changes, if necessary. The following are
changes proposed in the 2014 Policy Plan:
1. Set-aside of funds for Down-Payment Assistance Programs: Staff recommends setting
aside $30,000 in HOME funds and $20,000 in CDBG funds to reactivate the House-Key
Bremerton program, which offers down-payment assistance to 1st time income-qualified
homebuyers including a match of 25% of the down payment loan from the Washington
State Housing Finance Commission. The Commission is ready to reactivate the program,
following the program guidelines previously authorized by Council April 2, 2008.
Besides making a valuable resource available to Bremerton residents, the DPA loan
programs provide the City with a future revenue stream in the form of interest and loan
payoffs. This income will help buffer the effects of unpredictable program funding.
A 30-day public comment period, commencing April 19, 2013, was advertised in the Kitsap Sun.
All comments received from the public by May 20, 2013, will be provided to City Council for
consideration. The Draft 2014 CDBG / HOME Policy Plan and NOFA will be presented to City
Council for adoption in a public hearing scheduled for June 5, 2013.
If you have any questions about the program or recommended funding, please do not hesitate to

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM?
The Community Development Block Grant Program is a source of funds used in the local
community to provide decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities
primarily for low and moderate income households.
The City of Bremerton is designated as an Entitlement Community by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and receives federal funds in the form of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG). Kitsap County, with the cities of Port Orchard, Poulsbo and
Bainbridge Island, is also designated as an Entitlement Community and receives a separate
allocation of CDBG funds. Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton together form a consortium
and receive an allocation of HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds. Through an
interlocal agreement between the County and the City, 44.4% of the annual allocation of HOME
funds is designated for the City and the remaining designated for the County.
CDBG and HOME funds are allocated annually through a competitive grant process. Projects
funded are included in the annual Action Plan submitted to HUD. Projects funded must address
needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, which is updated every five years.
CDBG FUNDS
WHAT ARE CDBG FUNDS?
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a flexible program that provides
communities with funding to address a wide range of unique community development needs.
The program is authorized by Title I of the Community Development Act of 1974. Funds are

WHAT IS THE SECTION 108 LOAN GUARANTEE?
Section 108 is a loan guarantee provision of the CDBG program. Section 108 provides
communities with a means of leveraging their CDBG funds to obtain additional financing
resources for economic development, public facilities, large-scale physical development projects
and housing rehabilitation. Local governments borrowing funds guaranteed by Section 108
must pledge their current and future CDBG allocation to cover the loan amount as security for
the loan. The decision to award a Section 108 loan to a particular project is made by HUD.
Section 108 Loan Guarantee funds may be used for activities described in 24 CFR 570.703
provided such activities meet the general requirements of the CDBG program as described at
24 CFR 570.200. Eligible activities are defined in the CDBG program regulations at 24 CFR
570.201 and 570.207. Eligible activities include, but are not limited to:
Acquisition and rehabilitation of real property;
Specific relocation assistance;
Clearance, demolition and removal activities;
Site preparation;
Specific economic development activities;

Specific construction of housing by non-profit organizations.
HOME FUNDS
WHAT ARE HOME FUNDS?
The HOME Program was created by the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA). The
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and the Multifamily Property Disposition Act
of 1994 made important changes to the Program. The intent of the HOME Program is to:
Expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing;
Strengthen the abilities of state and local governments to provide housing;
Expand the capacity of nonprofit community based housing development
organizations; and,
Leverage private sector participation in financing affordable housing.
Beneficiaries of HOME funds – homebuyers, homeowners or tenants – must have incomes
below 80% of the area median income. The HOME program also requires a match of 25% or
greater in other non-federal funds for projects. For more information on specific requirements of
the HOME program see Appendix E.
WHAT ARE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES?
The Eligible activities are defined in the HOME program regulations at 24 CFR 92.205. A list of
some of the activities follows:

ALLOCATION PROCESS
HOW ARE FUNDS ALLOCATED?
The City of Bremerton and Kitsap County, in conjunction with the Affordable Housing Grant
Program and Homeless Housing Grant Program, conduct a competitive funding application
process. A single application is made available in May of each year and a public process is
used to determine funding allocations. This process is detailed in the Citizen Participation Plan
(Appendix A). The public is encouraged to participate in the process and its end product: the
submission of an annual Action Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in
November of each year.
HOW MUCH MONEY IS AVAILABLE?
The amount of CDBG and HOME funds available for the annual application cycle is determined
by the amount appropriated in the federal budget and HUD’s formula allocation for that year.
The City and County estimate funds available based on prior year’s allocations and includes the
estimates in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the year. Applicants should request a
minimum of $10,000 per application. Grant awards will typically not be awarded for less than
$10,000 except at the discretion of the Grant Recommendation Committee.
The amount of funds available for Section 108 Loans is five times the current CDBG allocation,
less any outstanding loans. The amount is included in the NOFA separately for the County and
City. Please note, at this time the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County Section 108 Loan
Guarantee Programs are inactive due to funding cuts.
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014

FORMS OF ASSISTANCE
Kitsap County: Funds will be provided in the form of a grant except HOME projects obtaining tax
credits may be provided a loan. Loan terms will be negotiable and be determined at the time of
underwriting review.
City of Bremerton: Funds will be provided in the form of a grant except awards of $200,000 or
more of CDBG and/or HOME (cumulative and including awards from multiple years) for a single
project site will trigger a loan for the following types of activities:
Acquisition of land and/or buildings
Rehabilitation
New construction
Direct homeowner assistance
Loan term will be for a maximum of 40 years. All loans will be interest bearing at 3% annual
interest rate and will not be forgivable. Other loan terms will be evaluated on a project by project
basis during the subsidy layering review and included in the written agreement and loan
documents.
WHAT IS THE DISTRIBUTION OF CDBG AND HOME FUNDS?
The CDBG and HOME programs allow certain set-asides to further specific program goals. The
City and County set additional funding targets to help meet local objectives. The following is the
distribution for Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton (local targets in italic):
CDBG
Public Service Projects - 15% max
Planning & Administration – 20% max
o Planning applications not accepted due to insufficient funding
Capital Projects – 65%
o Economic Development – 10% of capital
o City of Bremerton Down Payment Assistance set-aside - $20,000
HOME
Administration - 10% max
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Set-Aside – 15% min
Capital Projects– 75%
o City of Bremerton Down Payment Assistance set-aside - $20,000
o City of Bremerton HOME funded homeownership projects are capped at $30,000 per unit.
HOW CAN MY ORGANIZATION APPLY?
The annual application cycle begins in April with the publication of the Notice of Funding
Availability and Policy Plan and commencement of a 30 day public comment period. At the end
of the comment period, upon approval of the Policy Plan by the Kitsap Regional Coordinating
Council (KRCC) and Bremerton City Council, the application is made available on-line.
Interested organizations can find the application and all associated information on the County
web site at http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/block_grant_program/block_grant_program.htm , under
Annual Application Process, or on the City web site at
http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/display.php?id=864. The schedule for the annual application
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
6
cycle, including the due date for applications, is available on the web site. Interested
organizations may also contact Block Grant staff to request to be placed on the City/County
interested parties list to receive automatic notices about these programs.
WHEN WILL FUNDS BE AVAILABLE?
Funds for the programs’ January 1 – December 31 program year are generally not available
until spring or early summer of the program year. Timing is dependent on federal budget
approval—which is often delayed—and how quickly HUD is then able to allocate funds to local
jurisdictions. The County and City will not execute contracts with subrecipients until we have a
contract from HUD. Once subrecipient contracts are executed CDBG and HOME funds can only
be disbursed on a reimbursement basis.
POLICIES & REGULATIONS FOR USE OF FUNDS
CDBG and HOME funds are Federal funds. Use of Federal funds may affect the way your
agency does business. If you are applying for Federal funds for the first time, you are strongly
encouraged to familiarize yourself with the requirements. A Guidebook for recipients of CDBG
and HOME funds can be found on the Kitsap County Block Grant Program web site at:
http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/block_grant_program/block_grant_program.htm
You may also contact the County or City Block Grant Staff for additional assistance.
A. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Consistency with applicable City, County, and/or State Codes and Policies
To be considered for funding, projects must be consistent with adopted codes and other
applicable policies, plans and standards
Agencies that are currently receiving County or City CDBG or HOME funds, who are
applying for funds, must be in compliance with all terms of their current agreement(s)
and must not have outstanding audit findings, monitoring findings or concerns related to
prior year’s funding.
2. Contract Retainage for Federal Compliance
City/County will withhold up to 20% of the award amount included in the written
subrecipient agreement until all federal compliance requirements are met.
All construction contracts between a subrecipient (ie: your agency) and contractor shall
have 10% of payment retained until fulfillment of federal compliance is documented.
3. Definition of Income
Most CDBG and HOME funded projects use income to determine who is eligible for
services or housing. Per HUD, income must be defined in one of two ways under the
CDBG and HOME programs; subrecipients must select one method which it will use for
the duration of each program/project (rental housing projects must use the Part 5
definition):
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
7
Annual income as defined in 24 CFR 5.609, referred to as “Part 5 annual
income”, or;
Adjusted gross income as defined for reporting purposes under the IRS Form
1040 long form (not IRS Forms 1040A or 1040EZ).
For more information on determining income see the Technical Guide for Determining
Income and Allowances for the HOME program. This guide and can be downloaded
from: http://archives.hud.gov/offices/cpd/affordablehousing/modelguides/1780.pdf
4. Project/Activity Delivery Costs
Block Grant staff costs directly related to carrying out a funded activity may be charged
to the subrecipient grant award, reducing the amount available to the subrecipient.
Project/Activity delivery costs will be charged back to capital projects only, for staff duties
including but not limited to carrying out NEPA compliant environmental review, fulfilling
Davis Bacon Certified Payroll review and enforcement, underwriting loans and housing
inspections. For example, an agency is awarded $50,000 for a capital project, block
grant retains $2,500 for completing the NEPA review, and the subrecipient agreement is
written for $47,500. Staff reports the full award of $50,000 to HUD in the annual Action
Plan.
5. Commitment and Timely Expenditure of Funds
In order to meet regulatory requirements the City and County have established the
following policies for CDBG and HOME funded projects:
a. COMMITMENT:
Organizations awarded CDBG or HOME funds must enter into a written
agreement with the County/City during the award year (i.e. Funds awarded for
2014 must have an agreement executed by Dec. 31, 2014).
In certain circumstances a conditional commitment of funds may be made for
Capital projects that do not have all project funds committed at the time of
recommendation. If after 18 months of conditional commitment (from the
beginning of the program year, January 1) all funds have been committed, the
subrecipient will enter into a formal written agreement with the Block Grant
Program. If all project funding has not been secured within the 18 months the
conditional commitment will be canceled and the funds will be allocated in the
next funding round.
b. TIMELY EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS:
CDBG Public Service funding must be fully spent by December 31st of the award
year.
Projects using HOME funds to acquire vacant land must be under construction
within 12 months of the commitment date.
Organizations must begin drawing funds within one year of the contract
execution date (date the contract was signed by County/City Mayor) and at least
annually thereafter.
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
8
c. DEOBLIGATION OF FUNDS:
Organizations unable to meet these requirements will lose their funding; funds
will be allocated to another eligible project.
6. On-going Restrictions for CDBG & HOME Funded Capital Projects
HUD requires that facilities acquired, constructed or improved with CDBG and/or HOME
funds be “publicly owned” and that the public interest be protected. The interest will be
secured, when appropriate, through a lien on the property recorded as a deed of trust,
explaining the sale and change of use provisions that accompany CDBG/HOME
assisted real property. The specific terms and conditions of the public interest security
agreements will vary depending on the type of project assisted.
B. HOME FUNDING - SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1. HOME Project Completion
Recipients of HOME funds will have 4 years from the commitment date (contract date) to
complete projects. Project completion means that all construction work and title transfer
(if applicable) is completed and the final draw of HOME funds has been disbursed. For
projects that are not completed within 4 years, termination of the project and repayment
of HOME funds is required.
2. Affordability Period restrictions for HOME funded projects
To ensure that HOME investments yield affordable housing over the long term, HOME
imposes rent and occupancy requirements over the length of an affordability period. The
length of the affordability period depends on the amount of the HOME funds in the
property and nature of the activity funded. Affordability periods range from 5 to 20 years
and follow the guidelines in the chart below.
Activity Dollar Threshold**
Minimum
Affordability
Period

Any $ amount 20 Years
** Dollar threshold is per unit for single family housing
3. HOME Resale/Recapture Provisions
For HOME, the Participating Jurisdiction (County or City) will designate in the
subrecipient contract whether Resale or Recapture (24 CFR 92.294(a)(5)) will be used
for maintaining affordability for each HOME assisted property. Additionally, deed
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
9
restrictions must be recorded on the property to ensure the affordability. See Appendix E
for more details.
4. HOME Assisted Rental Housing
The HOME Program requires that all households who occupy HOME units be low
income. Property owners and operators must develop policies and procedures which
address:
Admission & Tenant Selection (including an Affirmative Marketing Plan)
Lease Provisions & Occupancy
At initial occupancy and during the period of affordability Block Grant staff will monitor
the project for compliance with HOME requirements. The monitoring will include
inspections of HOME assisted units and the property overall, review of policies and
procedures, project financial information and tenant files.
5. Transfer of Homebuyer unit to a Rental unit: HOME funded Homeownership units not
sold to an eligible buyer within 6 months of the date of the final inspection and/or
issuance of the occupancy permit, must be rented in accordance with 24 CFR Part
92.252.
6. CHDO Certification
Kitsap County/ City of Bremerton Block Grant Programs are required to certify that an
organization qualifies as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)
each time it commits CHDO set-aside funds to the organization. A CHDO is required to
document that it has the capacity to own, develop, or sponsor housing in accordance
with the regulations at 24 CFR Part 92.2. CHDO certification will be required before a
commitment of set-aside funds is made.
7. Subsidy Layering Review
Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton, using subsidy layering guidelines it has
established, will document that when HOME funds are used in combination with other
government assistance in a project, no more subsidy is invested than necessary. A
subsidy layering review will be conducted by staff during the technical review of the
Application. The review will be kept in the project file and updated if additional sources of
funds not originally contemplated are added, or if sources originally anticipated are
significantly reduced or eliminated.
8. Leveraging
The City of Bremerton requires leveraging of HOME funds for homeownership housing
projects. For every $1 of HOME funds committed, the project sponsor must show
leveraged funding of $2 from other sources.
9. HOME Match
The HOME program requires a match of 25% for every HOME dollar spent. Block Grant
staff is responsible for ensuring that the HOME Consortium is meeting this requirement.
Staff will work with subrecipients to identify sources and levels of HOME match required
on a project basis.
10. Market Assessment Requirement
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
10
HOME funded Homebuyer and rental housing projects, where development is occurring,
must have a market assessment completed which addresses criteria established by the
County & City HOME programs prior to contract execution with the Block Grant
Program.
C. CDBG FUNDING - SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1. Restrictions on the Change-of-Use of CDBG Assisted Property
All recipients must agree to restrict the use of the property, which was acquired and/or
improved using CDBG funds, to the intended purpose for which the funds were awarded.
The restriction will be based on the dollars invested and follow the guidelines in the chart
below. This is to ensure compliance with HUD requirements and to ensure continued
public benefit.
Activity Dollar Threshold* Minimum Years
Restricted
Rehabilitation or Acquisition of
existing facilities or housing
(including homeownership
assistance)
Less than $15,000
$15,000 - $40,000
Greater than $40,000
5 Years
10 Years
15 Years
New Construction or
Acquisition of land for new
construction
Any $ amount 20 Years
* Dollar threshold is per facility, or if housing, per unit for single family housing
2. Restriction on Assessments
CDBG funds may not be used for public improvement projects where a portion of the
projects is to be financed by assessments to area property owners, unless the project is
structured such that CDBG funds are used to pay the assessments of all low and very
low income property owners. The analysis of incomes of affected persons must be done
ahead of time and submitted as part of the application for CDBG funds.
3. Guidelines for Economic Development Projects (24 CFR 570.209)
City and County will utilize the guidelines provided at 24 CFR 570.209 relative to project
costs and financial requirements and standards for evaluating public benefit.
4. Supplanting (24 CFR 570.207)
Federal regulations prohibit using CDBG funds to supplant (replace or substitute for)
local funds for public services or ongoing responsibilities of general local government.
The intent of this federal regulation is to prevent local government from using the
availability of federal CDBG dollars as an excuse to reduce local funding commitments.
D. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
1. Uniform Administrative Requirements
Agencies which are governmental entities must comply with the requirements and
standards of:
OMB Circular No. A-87, “Principles for Determining Costs applicable to Grants and
Contracts with State, Local and Federally recognized Indian Tribal Governments”
OMB Circular A-128 “Audits of State and Local Governments”
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014

Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals or Other
Non-Profit Organizations”.
2. Audit Requirements
Private non-profit agencies expending $500,000 or more in federal funds annually
(whether CDBG / HOME alone or CDBG / HOME in conjunction with other federal funds)
must have an annual audit conducted by an independent auditor in accordance with
OMB A-133 Audit Standards for Private Non-Profit Organizations. Agencies are
responsible to meet this audit requirement.
Agencies that do not meet the $500,000 threshold mandatory A-133 audit are
encouraged to obtain an annual audit if their operating budget is $100,000 or greater.
Smaller agencies are encouraged to obtain at least an annual financial review. Block
Grant staff will review financial information closely for all agencies submitting application.
E. PROCUREMENT
Any subrecipient using CDBG or HOME funds to purchase goods or services must have a
formalized written procurement procedure in place prior to contracting for any goods or
services. Procurement requirements are contained in 24 CFR Part 85 for governmental
entities and 24 CFR Part 84 for Non-Profits, Institutions of Higher Education and Hospitals.
Additional information on procurement requirements can be found in the CDBG/HOME
Guidebook on the Kitsap County Block Grant Program web site at:

F. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
1. Environmental Review (24 CFR Part 58)
All CDBG/HOME projects must have a NEPA compliant environmental review process
completed before any funds, including funds committed from other sources, can be
spent on the project. For more information on the environmental review process visit
www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/environment/review/
The costs associated with conducting a NEPA compliant environmental review for
Capital CDBG and HOME funded projects may be charged to the grant award as project
costs (HOME) or activity delivery costs (CDBG). Cost will vary depending on the level of
review and complexity of the project and include staff time, cost of publishing required
legal ads and printing costs. The cost of any studies required to complete the
environmental review (i.e. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Geotech. Report,
Cultural Site Assessment, etc.) will be in addition to the costs associated with
preparation of the NEPA environmental review and will be the responsibility of the
subrecipient.

accessibility of Federally-assisted buildings, facilities and programs.
a. Americans with Disabilities Act: Provides comprehensive civil rights to individuals
with disabilities in the areas of employment, public accommodations, state and local
government services and telecommunications. The Act requires certain buildings or
other facilities that receive Federal funds to be designed, constructed or altered in
accordance with standards that insure accessibility to and use by physically
handicapped people.
b. Section 504: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination in
federally assisted programs on the basis of handicap.
H. LABOR STANDARDS & CONSTRUCTION

2. Labor Requirements
CDBG and HOME projects must comply with certain regulations on wage and labor
standards. Pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act, federal wage rates apply to most (but not
all) construction projects over $2,000. Applications that involve construction must
consider Davis-Bacon wage rates in the budget. The costs associated with the review of
Certified Payrolls and compliance with DBRA requirements may be charged to the grant
award as project costs (HOME) or activity delivery costs (CDBG). Cost will vary
depending on the complexity of the project
a. Davis-Bacon and Related Acts: Ensures that mechanics and laborers employed in
construction work under federally assisted contracts are paid the Federal prevailing
wage for the locality.

laborers employed on federally assisted construction jobs are paid time and one-half
for work in excess of 40 hours per week.
c. Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act: Governs the deductions from paychecks that are
allowable.
For more information on Davis Bacon requirements visit http://www.hud.gov/offices/olr/
3. Lead-Based Paint Hazard (24 CFR Part 35)
Housing built before 1978, assisted with HOME or CDBG funds, is subject to the Lead-
Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act. The law imposes requirements related to:
Disclosure of known hazards and what has been done to reduce them;
Treatment, relocation during treatment, and ongoing inspection of units.
Project feasibility is an important consideration for housing with lead-based paint.
Recipients of CDBG or HOME funds will need to be aware of the potential for additional
time and cost associated with lead-based paint hazards.
4. Compliance with Codes & Standards for Rehabilitation and New Construction
a. All capital projects funded with CDBG or HOME must comply with local building and
fire codes.
b. All HOME funded Rehabilitation projects must comply with the Rehabilitation
Standards adopted by the Kitsap County & City of Bremerton Block Grant Program.
c. All rental housing units purchased and/or rehabilitated with CDBG or HOME must
pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection.
d. All housing must comply with the applicable accessibility requirements for persons
with disabilities.
I. REPORTING & MONITORING
All programs and projects funded with CDBG or HOME funds will be required to submit
quarterly reports. Reports will be provided by the Block Grant Program and may be
submitted electronically. Annual on-site monitoring is conducted by staff for all open
contracts. A monitoring checklist is used by staff to review compliance with the requirements
of the written agreement and federal regulations. Agencies will be contacted at the end of
the program year to schedule the monitoring visit.
J. ACQUISITION & RELOCATION
1. Uniform Relocation Assistance & Real Property Acquisition (49 CFR Part 24)
These regulations apply to any federally-assisted project involving acquisition, demolition
or rehabilitation. Proposals for CDBG and HOME funded projects that are likely to
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
14
cause displacement of people or businesses are discouraged. Any project that is likely
to cause displacement must include relocation assistance payments in the budget and
be consistent with the federal Uniform Relocation Act. Projects which trigger this
regulation must follow the Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan included in
Appendix F. If your project includes acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition you are
strongly urged to discuss the requirements with Block Grant staff before entering into
any legally binding agreements.
2. Minimizing the Loss of Low and Very Low Income Dwelling Units (24 CFR Part 42)
Any CDBG/HOME proposal that would directly result in any occupied or vacant
occupiable low and very low income dwelling units being (1) demolished, or (2)
converted to a use other than as low and very low income housing must include a
realistic plan to provide replacement housing within three years of the commencement of
the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Projects which trigger this
regulation must follow the Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan included in
Appendix F.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
HUD requires a Citizen Participation Plan be adopted by jurisdictions receiving CDBG and
HOME funds. The plan details the process used by the County and the City in development of
the Consolidated Plan and annual application cycle which results in the Action Plan submission
to HUD. The Citizen Participation Plan for the County and the City can be found in Appendix A.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN
WHAT IS THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN?
The Consolidated Plan rolls the planning, application and performance reporting requirements
of several programs run by HUD into one process and one document. In our community the
Consolidated Plan covers CDBG (Community Development Block Grants) and HOME (grant for
affordable housing) programs jointly for the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County. The plan
covers a 5-year period.
The Consolidated Plan requires a jurisdiction to identify all of its housing and community
development needs, and then develop a long-term strategy for meeting those needs. A key part
of the strategy is setting priorities. The Plan identifies priority housing needs, non-homeless
special needs, homeless needs, economic development and community development needs.
The Consolidated Plan also indicates what programs and resources will be used over the 5-year
planning period. The plan contains objectives and strategies to address the identified needs
and estimates the resources needed to fund activities to address the different needs.

WHAT ARE THE KEY PARTS OF THE PLAN?
A. Housing & Community Development Needs Assessment
This is the part of the Plan that has U.S. Census Bureau information and other
information which presents a picture of the jurisdiction. People are the focus of the
“Needs” section of the plan. The emphasis is on the human side of housing and
community development including the needs of homeless people, people with special
needs and those who are low-income.
B. The Housing Market Analysis
This part of the Plan describes the physical “bricks and mortar,” side of housing – the
supply side of housing. It looks at what housing exists. When the housing conditions in
this part of the plan are lined up with human needs in the previous part of the plan, a
clear picture of what must be done should emerge.
C. The Strategic Plan
The Strategy is the part of the Consolidated Plan where the County and City sets out
how it intends to use its CDBG and HOME funds from HUD’s Department of Community
Planning and Development over the next five years. The strategy must declare what
priority the local government will give to the various housing and community
development needs identified earlier in the Consolidated Plan; the activities designed to
respond to those needs; and the different geographic areas where needs exist.
D. Annual Action Plan
The Action Plan is the one-year plan a jurisdiction must have to show how it is carrying
out its long-term Strategic Plan. It shows how the jurisdiction will spend its CDBG and
HOME money in the upcoming year. Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton use an
annual application process through which funds are competitively awarded.
Note: The Objectives & Strategies from the Consolidated Plan are included in Appendix C. The
full text of the Consolidated Plan is available on both the County and City of Bremerton web
sites and also available upon request.

CITY OF BREMERTON AND KITSAP COUNTY
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
Introduction
Kitsap County and its consortium cities of Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island receives
both Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME)
funds. The City of Bremerton receives Community Development Block Grant funds as its own
entitlement, and HOME funds through its membership in a Consortium with Kitsap County.
Both the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County are committed to assuring opportunities for
citizen involvement in decisions concerning activities taking place within their communities.
Each year the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County are eligible to receive CDBG and HOME
funds. There are specific rules and regulations governing the allocation and use of the funds,
including provisions for citizen involvement in decision making. In order to facilitate citizen
involvement, both jurisdictions adopt a Citizen Participation Plan.
Beginning with the application cycle for 2012 funding, Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton
Block Grant Programs have joined with the Homeless Housing Grant Program and Affordable
Housing Grant Program to develop a combined funding & application process. The combined
process will include a single application for funds, a single Grant Recommendation Committee
(GRC) process and funding recommendation. Funding recommendations will continue to be
approved by the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) for County CDBG/HOME funds
and by the Bremerton City Council for City CDBG/HOME funds. This Citizen Participation Plan
reflects the changes that have been made to the annual application process.
Purpose
The purpose of the Citizen Participation Plan is to provide an on-going mechanism to ensure
widespread citizen participation whereby all citizens have an opportunity to fully express their
needs and wishes for community improvement. Special efforts will be made to encourage
participation by:
Low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted
areas.
Residents of predominately low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
Minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities.
This plan provides opportunities for representation of all of the citizens of Kitsap County and the
City of Bremerton by allowing them to have a voice in the decision-making process and giving
them greater power and control over activities taking place within their communities.
Annual Allocation Process / Action Plan Submission
Together the entitlement jurisdictions conduct a competitive annual process to determine
allocation of CDBG and HOME funds. The public is encouraged to participate in the process
and its end product—the submission of an annual Action Plan to HUD.
A. Notice of Funding Availability & Application
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
19
In April of each year a notice will be published in the newspaper of record to announce
funding availability and provide an opportunity for comment on the CDBG/HOME Policy
Plan. This notice will begin a 30-day comment period on the Policy Plan (including the
Citizen Participation Plan) and include the date and time of public hearings to take citizen
comments. Notifications will also be sent to any agency or organization who requests to be
placed on our mailing lists.
Upon approval of the Policy Plan by the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council and
Bremerton City Council, information about the application and mandatory technical
assistance session will be available from:
Kitsap County Block Grant Division
345 6th Street, Suite 400, Bremerton, WA 98337-1873.
http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/block_grant_program/block_grant_program.htm

http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/display.php?id=864.
or by contacting Marie Vila at marie.vila@ci.bremerton.wa.us or by phone at 360-473-5375
Applications will be made available in a format accessible to persons with disabilities upon
request.
Application submittal instructions and due date are included in the Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA). Applications must be submitted online and require access to the
internet.
B. Technical Assistance
At least one madatory technical assistance session will be held for those interested in
applying for funding. During the session, staff will provide information to citizens concerning
who can apply for funds, funds expected to be available, the range of activities that may be
undertaken, priorities for funding, application submission requirements, the application
deadline, and how decisions concerning funding will be made. The date and time of the
technical assistance session(s) will be published in the NOFA, included in the schedule
posted on the web sites and emailed to all interested parties on the current mailing list.
In addition to the mandatory Technical Assistance described above, City and County Block
Grant staff is also available by appointment for one-on-one Technical Assistance to provide
guidance to citizens and organizations regarding specific project considerations.
At any time, any citizen may contact the City or County Block Grant Divisions for technical
assistance or general information in relation to programs described in this Plan. The
Department will help citizens understand CDBG and HOME funded programs, the
procedures for submitting proposals, the Citizen Participation Plan and other program
requirements so they can effectively participate in CDBG and/or HOME programs and the
funding process.
C. Application Review & Grant Recommendation Committee Process
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
20
Applications will be reviewed by Block Grant Staff to determine compliance with technical
requirements including eligibility for CDBG and/or HOME funds. Applications which are
found not eligible for CDBG or HOME funds, will be disqualified and the applicant will be
notified. Eligible applications will be reviewed and evaluated by staff for organizational and
financial capacityand will also be provided to a Grant Recommendation Committee (GRC)
for consideration The GRC will review all proposals, interview applicants and develop
recommendations for funding based how they address needs & objectives identified in the
2011-2015 Consolidated Plan and/or Homeless Housing Plan, organizational and financial
capacity of the organization to carry out the program/project, project feasibility, and funding
availability. There are two GRCs. The Services GRC reviews applications for public
services The Capital GRC reviews housing capital improvements,economic development
and CHDO operating applications. Both GRCs play an integral role in the allocation of
CDBG and HOME federal funds according to the needs of the community.
While all GRC members must be well-versed in the needs of the community and be willing
to participate in all the activities relevant to the GRCs, each individual GRC requires that
members demonstrate specific skills and qualifications:
The Services GRC requires that its members have experience in one or more of the
following capacities: background working with non-profit community service providers
as an employee, volunteer, board member or consumer; background with homeless
programs; grant experience, project management, compliance monitoring and/or
practical experience with HUD regulations.
The Capital GRC requires that its members have experience in one or more of the
following areas: affordable housing; construction or project management; mortgage
lending; housing development; economic development; real estate; or architecture.
Each GRC will be comprised of 8 members as follows:
Two members representing the City of Bremerton and approved by the Bremerton City
Council
Three members appointed by Kitsap County Commissioners. Three members, one each
appointed by the cities of Bainbridge Island, Port Orchard, and Poulsbo
Applicant interviews will be conducted with the GRC. Applicants will have the opportunity
to present their project and the GRC will an opportunity to ask questions. At the
conclusion of interviews the GRC will formulate a funding recommendation for approval
by the KRCC and the Bremerton City Council.
GRC members serve two terms, terms are staggered so each year there are at least
four returning members
D. Funding Recommendations & Action Plan
Organizations submitting applications will be notified whether or not the GRC has
recommended their proposal for funding. The notification will include the date, time and
place of the public hearings, during which the recommendations will be considered by the
Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council and the Bremerton City Council.
All projects approved for funding will be included in each jurisdiction’s Action Plan. A
summary of each Action Plan will be published in the newspaper of record and on the City’s
and County’s websites. The summaries will describe the contents and purpose of the Action
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
21
Plans, and include a list of locations where copies of the entire proposed plans may be
examined. Citizens will be provided a period of at least 30 days to review and comment on
the plans. Comments or views of citizens will be considered at the public hearings, and a
summary of any comments or views not accepted and the reasons therefore, will be
attached to the final Action Plan which will be submitted to HUD.
The City of Bremerton and Kitsap County Block Grant staff will submit their Action Plans,
including the projects proposed to be funded, to HUD no later than November 15th of each
calendar year.
Five Year Consolidated Plan
The Consolidated Plan is the result of a process set forth by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) to provide a planning and application process for the CDBG and
HOME programs within a single document. The Kitsap County HOME Consortium is required to
submit the Consolidated Plan for the HOME participating jurisdiction (which consists of Kitsap
County and the City of Bremerton). The Consolidated Plan is available online at:
http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/block_grant_program/block_grant_program.htm (scroll down
for a link to the documents)
http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/display.php?id=790 (scroll down for a link to the documents)
A printed copy may be requested from the Kitsap County or City of Bremerton Block Grant
Divisions
There are a number of specific elements in the 5-Year Consolidated Plan, including:
Needs Assessment: an assessment of housing needs (primarily of low and moderate
income people) and needs of homeless people;
Housing Market Analysis: an analysis of the City of Bremerton’s and Kitsap
County's housing market;
Strategic Plan: a discussion of the City of Bremerton’s and Kitsap County's priority
needs to establish goals and objectives for implementing strategies which address
housing and community development activities;
Citizen Participation Plan
Annual Action Plan: describes the activities that will be undertaken to address
priority needs utilizing HOME and CDBG grant funds during the upcoming program
year; and
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): describes
how funds were used in activities that provided benefits to low and moderate income
individuals and families during the previous program year.
Governments, service providers, citizens, and non-profit/for-profit agencies are encouraged to
identify needs and priorities, assist in the development of strategies, and to participate in the
annual allocation process. The following are specific opportunities for citizens to participate in
the development of the information to be incorporated in the Consolidated Plan, which is
updated every five years:
1. At least one community meeting will be held to obtain the views of citizens, public agencies,
and other interested parties concerning housing and community development needs,
including non-housing community development needs and priorities during development of
the plan.

neighborhoods, minorities, non-English speaking persons, and persons with disabilities will
be contacted to encourage participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan.
Amendments to the Annual Action Plan
Citizens will be notified and have an opportunity to comment on any substantial amendments
proposed to the Annual Action Plan.
Substantial Amendments will be published in the City’s and County’s newspaper of record
and be subject to a 30-day public comment period to allow for comment prior to
implementation of the proposed amendment. Substantial Amendments may be forwarded
for review by the appropriate GRC prior to submission to the KRCC or the Bremerton City
Council for final approval. Comments or views of citizens will be considered at the public
hearing, and a summary of any comments or views not accepted and the reasons therefore,
will be attached to the substantial amendment of the final Action Plan which will be
submitted to HUD. Substantial amendments include:
Changes in the use of CDBG or HOME funds from one eligible activity to another

A substantial change to the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries of the project as
defined in the application for funds and approved by the GRC.
CDBG or HOME activities awarded funds which have a substantial change in the purpose,
scope, beneficiaries, location or budget will be evaluated by Block Grant Staff and m ay be
required to submit a new application for funding in the next application cycle.
Projects not expending their full CDBG or HOME award will not trigger a substantial
amendment. These funds will be re-obligated to new projects during the following year’s
regular application cycle.
Minor Changes: Any request for a change in the amount to be expended on a program or
project budget line item, or a minor change to the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries
of the project as defined in the application for funds, shall not be considered a Substantial
Change requiring citizen notification and Annual Action Plan amendment; however, prior
written approval of these changes must be obtained from the appropriate Block Grant
Administrator.

Appendix B
Requirements for
Section 108 Loan Guarantee
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
26
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
27
SECTION I – GENERAL GUIDELINES
A. Introduction
Section 108 is the loan guarantee provision of the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program. Section 108 enables grantees to leverage their CDBG funds by borrowing
up to five times their CDBG allocation. Section 108 loans provide long term, lo w-cost
financing with flexible terms. The funds are available year-round, on a non-
competitive basis and for a wide variety of uses.
HUD provides a full faith and credit guarantee of notes issued by public jurisdictions
and sold to private investors. In turn, public jurisdictions are required to pledge
CDBG funds as collateral for the loans. These funds are not escrowed and grantees
may continue to use CDBG funds as planned. Additional collateral is also required,
which provides a safeguard to reduce the risk to CDBG funds. Collateral may be
project-based such as a lien on real property or based on other types of security
unrelated to the Section 108 project. In most cases, Section 108 loans do not count
against a community’s bonding authority and are not used to determine credit
worthiness of the community by private credit rating agencies.
The Loan Program is administered by the Kitsap County Block Grant Program for
County funds and by the City of Bremerton Block Grant Program for City funds. All
loans require approval from the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council and Board of
County Commissioners for County loans, or the Bremerton City Council for City
loans.
B. Section 108 Loan Program Criteria
Eligible Applicants:
Private companies;
Governments,
Public agencies;
Non-Profit institutions;
For-Profit and Not-for-Profit owners of multi-family projects.
All projects must be located in Kitsap County and for projects using City funds the
project must be located in the City of Bremerton.
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
28
Eligible Activities:
Economic development activities eligible under the CDBG program including
assistance to for-profit businesses.
Acquisition of real property;
Rehabilitation of publicly owned real property;
Clearance, demolition, and removal on acquired or rehabilitated public
property (including environmental cleanup);
Site preparation including construction, reconstruction, or installation of public
improvements related to property acquired or rehabilitated using Section 108
funds or for economic development purposes;
Acquisition, construction, reconstruction or installation of public facilities;
Housing rehabilitation eligible under CDBG;
Housing construction as part of community economic development (in limited
circumstances);
Relocation costs;
Debt service reserves; and
Payment of interest on the guaranteed loan and issuance costs of public
offerings.
Meeting a National Objective:
CDBG regulations apply to the Section 108 loan guarantee program. All projects
must either:
Principally benefit low and moderate income persons;
Aid in the elimination or prevention of slum and blight; or
Meet an urgent need of the community
C. Projects Eligible for Section 108 Loans
1. Economic Development Projects:
Examples of economic development projects include loans made to a for -profit
business, development of a business or industrial park, construction or
reconstruction of infrastructure to support business, or implementation of a
redevelopment project. In each of the following examples the project must create
new job opportunities for low and moderate income persons. Examples include:
a. Business Loans – funding provided to a local firm for expansion of its
operations.
b. Business/Industrial Park – funding provided to purchase real estate for
the development of a business or industrial park.
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
29
c. Redevelopment Project – funds could be used for the acquisition,
relocation, rehabilitation of buildings, and clearance of site(s) for
redevelopment purposes.
2. Housing Projects:
Examples of housing projects that are eligible for Section 108 loans include
rehabilitation, acquisition of sites for new development, homeownership, etc. All
housing type activities must be affordable to low and moderate income persons
and be eligible under CDBG.
3. Community Development:
Large scale public facilities and infrastructure type projects may be undertaken
with Section 108 loan funds. These projects must benefit the low and moderate
income population of the area in which they are intended to serve. Examples of
Community Development projects include:
a. Parks & Recreation – funds may be used for the expansion of an existing
park facility or the development of a new facility.
b. Streetscape Improvements – funds may be used to provide loans/grants
for building façade improvements, streetscape work such as tree planting,
walks, curbs, signage, etc.
c. Infrastructure Improvements – for the construction or reconstruction of
roads, streets and public utilities.
d. Public Facilities – funds may be used for purchase, rehabilitation or
construction of public facilities which principally benefit low/mod income
persons.
D. How The Program Operates
1. Maximum Commitment Amount
An entitlement entity (County or City) may apply for up to five times the public
entity’s latest CDBG entitlement amount, minus any outstanding Section 108
commitments or principal balances on Section 108 loans. This amount is
published annually in the Application.
2. Financing Source
Section 108 obligations are financed annually through underwritten public
offerings in which fixed rate notes are sold to private investors. To ensur e
marketability of Section 108 notes HUD provides a 100% full faith and credit
guarantee to investors. Financing between public offerings is provided
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
30
through an interim lending facility established by HUD. Although HUD
coordinates the funding process, it does not have a direct role in the flow of
funds.
3. Security
Security for the loan guarantee includes a pledge by the public entity of its
current and future CDBG funds. The CDBG funds are not escrowed and may
continue to be used as planned. Additional security is also required, which
provides a safeguard to reduce the risk to CDBG funds. The additional
security requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
4. Loan Repayment
The maximum repayment period for a Section 108 loan is 20 years. Interim
loan interest payments are due quarterly on the first day of the months of
February, May, August, and November. On permanent loans, principal
payments are due once a year on August 1 and interest payments are due
twice a year on August 1 and February 1. HUD has the ability to structure the
principal amortization to match the needs of the project and borrower.
5. Prepayment
Investors buying the Section 108 notes are guaranteed the timely payment of
principal and interest for a ten-year period. Technically, the borrower cannot
prepay the loan during this period. However, by guaranteeing the income
stream to the investor through a deposit of funds with a Fiscal Agent, the
borrower is defeasing or voiding the Section 108 obligation. Interim loans may
be prepaid at any time without penalty. Jurisdictions do have the options of
remaining in the interim financing facility for the term of the loan.
6. Interest Rates
Interest rates on interim borrowing are priced at the three-month London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 20 basis points (0.2%). Interest rates on
obligations sold in public offerings will be determined by market conditions at
the time but generally will be slightly lower than yields on Federal agency
securities (e.g. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) with comparable terms.
7. Financing Fees
The only financing fees of the Section 108 program are those related to
issuance of the Section 108 notes, such as fees to the underwriters and the
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
31
Fiscal Agent and any other expense related to the offering. Total financing
fees will generally be one-half to one percent (0.5% - 1.0%) of principal. No
additional maintenance fees are charged for permanent Section 108 notes.
Interim loans are charged a $100 quarterly fee.
8. Regulations
All CDBG program regulations such as citizen participation, Davis-Bacon, and
relocation/displacement compliance must be met. The environmental
assessment must be completed prior to incurring or expending any project
costs.
SECTION II – UNDERWRITING STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
A. Underwriting Standards & Guidelines
Kitsap County and The City of Bremerton Block Grant Programs have developed
standards for financially underwriting and evaluating the eligibility of potential
projects for Section 108 loan financing. The size and scope of certain proposed
projects will dictate the level of review required. The staff and consultant costs
associated with the financial review and underwriting will be charged to the
applicant. After an initial review of a project for eligibility an Application must be
submitted to be considered for the Section 108 loan. At that time an agreement
between the jurisdiction (County or City) and the applicant will be executed and
include a scope of work and budget to complete the application review and
processing of submission to HUD.
B. Objectives of Financial Review
The objectives of the financial review of each application are the same as the HUD
Guidelines and Objectives for Evaluating Project Costs and Financial Requirements
that are found in Appendix A to Part 570 of the Federal Regulations. These
objectives are to ensure:
Project costs are reasonable;
Sources of project funding are committed;
To the extent practicable, Section 108 funds are not substituted for non-
federal financial support;
Project is financially feasible;
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
32
To the extent practicable, the return on the owner’s equity investment will not
be unreasonably high (in the case of a loan to a private firm); and
To the extent practicable, the Section 108 loan funds are disbursed on a
proportional basis with other finances provided to the project.
The City and County will also be evaluating projects using the following criteria:
Is the project feasible and is it supported by market studies, engineering
studies, housing studies, feasibility studies, etc.;
Is the project site/location suitable for this project;
What is the capacity and capability of the project development team;
Does the project meet the eligibility criteria of the Section 108 loan program;
What is the public benefit to be derived from the project; and
What are the sources of loan repayment.
C. Application
Applications for Section 108 loans are accepted year round. If you are interested in
submitting an application you must first meet with the County or City to determine
the eligibility of your project. For projects within the City of Bremerton please contact
Marie Vila at 360-473-5375 or Marie.Vila@ci.bremerton.wa.us . For projects in
Kitsap County please contact Bonnie Tufts at 360 -337-4606 or

The following information is provided to assist you in defining the eligibility and national
objective that your activity meets and the type of information you need to provide to the
County. Specific regulations that govern the CDBG program are available the Block Grant
office.
What are the National Objectives? (Benefit Criteria)
An eligible CDBG activity must either
I. Principally benefit low and very low income
A. Area Benefit
B. Limited Clientele
1. At least 51% of beneficiaries are low or very low income persons/households

III.Meet an Urgent Need
NOTE: The vast majority of CDBG activities funded are designed to benefit low and
very low income persons and households.
How Does A Project Meet a National Objective?
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
47
I. Principally benefit low and very low income
To meet this national objective, an applicant must document that the proposed project
will benefit predominantly low and very low income persons or households. A low
income person/household is one whose annual income does not exceed 80% of median
family income -- a very low income person/household is one whose annual income does
not exceed 50% of the area median income. HUD Income Limits for Bremerton/Kitsap
County are included in the Application each year. There are several different ways that
CDBG activities can benefit low and very low income persons:
A. AREA BENEFIT
Some CDBG assisted activities, such as parks, neighborhood facilities,
community centers and streets, serve an identified geographic area. These
activities generally meet the low and moderate income principal benefit
requirements if 51% of the residents in the activity’s service area are low and
moderate income. However, in some communities, they have no or very few
areas in which 51% of the residents are low and moderate income. For these
grantees, the CDBG regulations authorize an exception criterion in order for such
grantees to be able to undertake area benefit activities.
The City of Bremerton does not have exception criteria so projects which qualify
under the Area Benefit must meet the 51% threshold. Kitsap County has
exception criteria that is published by HUD and updated annually. For 2010 the
exception percentage for Kitsap County is 43.27%. Please contact the City or
County Block Grant office for maps and more information on documenting your
service area.
Applicants must:
Attach a map with the boundaries of the project's service area delineated
(the surrounding geographic area in which all or most of the people
benefiting from the project reside).
Explain why that particular geographic area is the service area for the
project;
Indicate on the map residential and commercial areas within the service
area boundary; and
Provide documentation that 51%(City) or 43.3%(County) or more of the
residents within the service area are low and very low income
persons/households utilizing the most recent census data as provided by
HUD. Please contact the City or County Block Grant office for maps and
more information on documenting your service area.
B. LIMITED CLIENTELE
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
48
An activity which benefits a limited clientele, at least 51% of whom are low o r
very low income persons/households. There are four types of activities in this
category:
1. Presumed Benefit -- An activity may benefit one of the following groups
who are presumed by HUD to be principally low and very low income: abused
children, battered spouses, elderly persons, handicapped persons, homeless
persons, illiterate persons, migrant farm workers and persons living with
HIV/AIDS.
Applicants must:
Demonstrate that the facility or service is designed for and used
predominantly by one of the groups identified above.
2. Require documentation on family size and income in order to show
that at least 51 percent of the clientele are low or moderate income -
Agencies must keep information on client income and fa mily size which
can document whether or not 51% or more of the clientele are persons
whose family income does not exceed low and moderate income limits for
Kitsap County. Note: Income qualification criteria from other programs
(such as state poverty guidelines) may be substituted provided those
criteria are at least as restrictive as the HUD income limits.
Applicants must:
Provide documentation of the total number of clients/households
served in 2009 (if this is an existing service);
State what percent of the clients/households served in 2010 were low
or very low income (or met criteria that are stricter);
Provide a copy of the income qualification criteria that were used to
screen clients and to determine the percent that were low and very low
income;
Provide a copy of the client intake form highlighting the questions
regarding family size and income levels; and
Agree to maintain documentation of the client's incomes for the CDBG
contract period.
3. Income Eligibility Requirements (Direct Benefit) -- This means that the
agency uses income screening to limit the benefits of the CDBG funded
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
49
activity to only those persons who are low and very low income. For
example, a housing counseling program would screen potential clients
and use the CDBG funds to pay for the counseling only of those who are
income eligible.
Applicants must:
Screen clients by family size and income;
Provide a copy of the client intake form highlighting the questions
regarding family size and income levels; and
Describe how the program/project would limit the benefits of the CDBG
funded activity exclusively to low and very low income
persons/households.
4. Nature/Location of Activity Allows Conclusion of Primarily Low and
Very Low Income Benefit -- This means that the activity is of such a
nature and in such a location that it may be concluded that the clientele
will be primarily low and very low income; for example, a food bank near
an assisted housing project.
Applicants must:
Explain how the nature, and if applicable, the location of the proposed
project, establishes that it is used primarily for low and very low income
persons.
In addition to the four activities described above, the following activities
may qualify under the limited clientele national objective.
Removal of Architectural Barriers
A project which removes material or architectural barriers which restrict the
mobility and accessibility of elderly or handicapped persons to publicly owned
and privately owned non-residential buildings, facilities and improvements, and
the common areas of residential structures containing more than one dwelling
unit is considered a limited clientele activity. Note: This refers to the removal of
existing barriers. It does not apply to new construction.
Assistance to Owners of Microenterprises
When assistance is to be provided to a microenterprise (a commercial enterprise
that has five or fewer employees, one or more of whom owns the enterprise) the
owner must qualify as low or moderate income. Note: for microenterprise
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
50
projects under the limited clientele national objective justification, the low and
moderate income threshold applies only to the owner, there are no income
requirements for the workers the owner employs.
Employment Support Services.
If CDBG assistance is only provided for training or supportive services (peer
support programs, counseling, child care, transportation, and other similar
services) to assist business(es), the percentage of low and moderate in come
persons assisted may be less than 51% if the proportion of the total cost borne
by CDBG funds is no greater than the proportion of the total number of persons
assisted who are low or moderate income. For example: A new business moves
into town and begins an on-site day care program for workers. The total cost of
the day care is $10,000. There are 40 children, 3 of which meet qualifications as
low and moderate income. The maximum amount chargeable to the CDBG
program is $750.00. ($10,000/40 =$250 X 3 = $750).
Applicants must:
Maintain data documenting the total cost of the service, Screen clients by
family size and income; and provide a copy of the client intake form
highlighting the questions regarding family size and income levels;
C. Housing Activities
These are activities providing or improving permanent residential structures which are
or will be occupied by low and very low income households. It does not include group
homes or shelters for the homeless, which are considered limited clientele activities.
Applicants must:
Maintain a copy of the written agreement with each landlord or developer
receiving CDBG assistance indicating the total number of dwelling units in
each multi-unit structure assisted and the number of those units which will
be occupied by low and moderate income households after assistance.
Maintain records on the total cost of the activity, including both CDBG and
non-CDBG funds.
Screen households for family size and income eligibility.
For rental housing, maintain records on rent charged (or to be charged)
after assistance for each dwelling unit in each structure assisted.
D. Job Creation or Retention Activities
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
51
These are economic development activities which are designed to create or retain
permanent jobs, where at least 51% of the jobs, computed on a full -time equivalent
basis, can be documented to employ low and very low income persons for the
geographic area where it is located. There are very specific elements of this
national objective. Please contact the Community Development staff to discuss
your project prior to submitting an application.
II. REDUCE OR ELIMINATE SLUM OR BLIGHT
An activity may meet the national objective of reducing or eliminating slum and blight,
instead of benefiting low and very low income people. Currently, there are no
designated slum and blight areas outside of the City of Bremerton. There are two
different ways that CDBG activities can meet this second national objective.
Area Basis A project must be located in an area defined as a slum or blighted
area under state or local law; the conditions which qualified th e area as slum or
blight must be on record; and the project must specifically address one or more
of these conditions.
Spot Basis A CDBG project to eliminate slum and blight on a spot basis (for
example, outside of a locally designated slum or blighted a rea) must be limited to
activities necessary to eliminate specific conditions posing a threat to the public
health or safety. The health or safety hazard must be identified, and the scope
of the project must be limited to correcting the hazard.
III. MEET AN URGENT NEED
Use of this category is extremely rare. It is designed only for activities that alleviate
emergency conditions. Urgent need activities must meet the following qualifying
criteria.
The existing conditions must pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or
welfare of the community;
The existing conditions are of recent origin or recently became urgent (generally,
within the past 18 months);
The recipient is unable to finance the activity on its own; and
Other sources of funding are not available.
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
52
An example of an activity that would qualify under the urgent Needs National Objective:
Our County is hit by an earthquake within the last month and does not have any other
resources to demolish severely damaged structures which pose a danger to occupants
of neighboring structures.

One of the purposes of the HOME Program is to increase the supply of affordable
housing units. To ensure that HOME investments yield affordable housing over the long
term, HOME imposes rent and occupancy requirements over the length of an
affordability period. The length of the affordability period depends on the amount of the
HOME funds in the property and nature of the activity funded. Affordability periods
range from 5 to 20 years. Deed restrictions must be recorded on the property to ensure
the affordability
Homebuyer activities will use either Resale or Recapture (24 CFR 92.294(a)(5) for
maintaining affordability for each HOME assisted property. Kitsap County and City of
Bremerton will designate in the subrecipient agreement (contract) the method to be
used.
Rental housing activities will carry rent and occupancy restrictions during the period of
affordability. Affordability restrictions remain in force regardless of transfer of ownership.
Homebuyer Projects
Homeownership housing projects assisted with HOME must meet the affordability
described below, as per 92.254(a)(4). The affordability period begins after project
completion, and is based on the amount of HOME investment per unit:
HOME assistance per unit Period of Affordability
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
57
Under $15,000 5 years
Between $15,000 to $40,000 10 years
Over $40,000 15 years
If a program or project does not meet its affordability requ irements through change in
ownership, change in use, or other failure to adhere to contractual obligations, Resale
or Recapture provisions are triggered in order to continue the HOME investment to its
intended recipient. Either Resale or Recapture is set forth in each project/program’s
contract.
Resale for Homebuyer Projects
All HOME assisted homebuyers subject to Resale provisions must meet the following
during the Period of Affordability, which will be recorded in a restrictive covenant and
shall be required of the original and any subsequent buyer of the subject property during
the term of the Period of Affordability:
1. The homebuyer must enter into restrictive covenant outlining resale
requirements.
2. Subject property must be homebuyer’s principal residence at all times during
the Period of Affordability.
3. Property is sold to an income qualified homebuyer with an income within the
range of 51% and 80% of Area Median Income.
Recapture for Homebuyer Projects
All HOME assisted homebuyers subject to Recapture provisions must meet the
following during the Period of Affordability, which will be recorded in a restrictive
covenant and shall be required during the term of the Period of Affordability:
1. The homebuyer must enter into restrictive covenant outlining recapture
requirements.
2. The PJ will record a lien on the property securing the asset until expiration of
the Period of Affordability.
3. The homebuyer may sell the home at any time during the Period of
Affordability, to any willing buyer, and at the price the market will bear.
4. In the event of voluntary or involuntary sale during the Period of Affordability,
the PJ will recapture the HOME investment as follows:
a. The owner shall receive a fair return on their investment: portion of
HOME funds recaptured will be based on shared net proceeds (down
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
58
payment and any capital improvements, excluding standard
maintenance, since purchase).
Net Proceeds = [Sale Price] – [Non-HOME Debt] – [Closing Costs]
b. A third party appraisal will determine fair market value.
Rental Housing Projects
Rental housing projects which include HOME assisted units must meet the affordability
described below. As per 92.252(e), the affordability requirements apply without regard
to the term of any loan or mortgage or the transfer of ownership.
Rental Housing Activity Period of Affordability
Rehabilitation or acquisition of
existing housing per unit amount of
HOME funds: Under $15,000
5 years
Between $15,000 to $40,000 10 years
Over $40,000 or rehabilitation
involving refinancing
15 years
New Construction or acquisition of
newly constructed housing
20 years
Minority and Women Owned Businesses
The HOME program requires the encouragement and use of minority and women
owned business enterprises in the implementation of HOME program activities.
Affirmative Marketing
HOME regulations require affirmative marketing of housing units assisted with HOME
funds. Describe the methods of affirmative marketing that will be undertaken as part of
the HOME-assisted project. Affirmative marketing steps consist of actions to provide
information and otherwise attract eligible persons from all racial, ethnic, and gender
groups.
At a minimum, project sponsors will be required to use affirmative fair housing
marketing practices in soliciting renters or buyers, determining their eligibility, and
concluding all transactions. Any HOME assisted housing must comply with the following
procedures for the duration of the applicable compliance period:
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
59
Project sponsor advertising of vacant units must include the Equal Housing
Opportunity logo or statement (newspapers, radio, television, brochures,
leaflets, sign in a window, etc.)
The project sponsor will be required to solicit applications for vacant units
from persons in the housing market who are not likely to apply for the h ousing
without special outreach (e.g. use of community organizations, places of
worship, employment centers, fair housing groups, etc)
The project sponsor must maintain records containing documentation of all
marketing efforts (e.g. copies of newspaper advertisements, memorandums
of telephone calls, copies of letters, etc.). A listing of all tenants residing in
each unit at the time of application submittal through the end of the
compliance period must also be maintained. Records to assess the results of
the affirmative fair housing marketing actions must be available for inspection
by Kitsap County Community Development Block Grant Staff.
Homeownership Requirements
The HOME program requires that for all HOME assisted homeownership projects:
All of the HOME funds will benefit families whose incomes are at or below
80% of the area median income.
The assisted housing will be the owner's principal residence.
The purchase price of the property or the appraised value of a property
already owned, after rehabilitation will be less than 95 percent of the median
area purchase price.
HOME Income Eligibility Requirements
The HOME program requires that all HOME assisted rental projects ensure that:
At least 20% of HOME assisted rental units must be occupied by families who
have annual incomes that are 50% or less of median income (minus tenant
paid utilities).

under all PJ funded HOME rental programs have incomes that do not exceed
60% of the area median income. The remaining households must not exceed
80% of AMI
Income calculation must be made using one of three HUD approved methods:
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
60
o Section 8 Program definition of Annual Gross Income
o IRS definition of adjusted gross income

Home Match Requirements
The HOME Program requires a match of 25% or greater in other non -federal funds
for projects. The match requirement may be met in several ways: City requires a
minimum leveraging ratio of 1:2, or two dollars of other funding for every HOME
dollar.
Non-Federal Cash or Cash Equivalent – acceptable sources of cash match
include
o Local or state general revenues
o Housing Trust Funds
o Foundations, donations

Priorities for Use of HOME funds
The City of Bremerton will give priority to HOME projects located in the Anderson
Cove and Downtown designated Blight Zones. Please contact the City for a map of
these areas. In the absence of qualified, viable projects that fit the City’s vision, the
City Council may elect to set aside HOME funds for a future use, including for a City-
initiated affordable housing project.
The County does not have priority areas for the use of HOME funds.

Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan
INTRODUCTION
Applicants for federal funds must comply with the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, referred to as
URA. URA regulations, at 49 CFR Part 24, apply to any federally-assisted
project involving acquisition, demolition or rehabilitation.
The URA protects all persons who are displaced by a federally assisted project,
regardless of their income. This is in contrast to Section 104(d) which only
protects displaced persons whose income is at or below 80% of the area median
income. The URA also protects businesses located in a building acquired,
demolished or rehabilitated with federal funds.
REAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION
A. When acquisition of real property is the result of a voluntary proposal which has
been submitted by an owner in response to a public invitation or solicitation for
offers, it is referred to as voluntary acquisition. In contrast, acquisition of property
by the local government entity which is not voluntarily offered for sale is referred
to as involuntary acquisition. Voluntary Acquisition must adhere to the following
procedures:
a) Determine if the housing unit is a low/moderate income dwelling unit and if
so contact the Block Grant Program office.
b) Clearly advise the owner that in the event negotiations fail to result in an
agreement the property will not be acquired.
c) Arrange for a full independent narrative appraisal of the property by a
qualified appraiser.
d) Inform the owner of what the agency believes to be fair market value of
the property and that the agency does not have the authority to acquire
the property by eminent domain. (HUD Guideform Notice of Voluntary
Arms Length Transaction is available from the Block Grant Office)
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
64
B. All acquisitions must go through real estate escrow. The escrow agent must be a
neutral third party to the acquisition.
C. All acquisitions must have title insurance.
D. All acquisitions will need a notice of some kind. All occupants are entitled to
timely notice explaining whether or not they will be displaced.
Occupants to be displaced must be informed of their eligibility for
relocation assistance and the nature of the assistance.
Occupants not to be displaced must be informed of the terms and
conditions under which they may occupy the property upon completion of
the project.
NOTICES
General Information Notice (GIN): Informs occupants of a possible project and
of their rights under URA. Stresses that the household should not move at this
time.
Move-in Notice informs households moving into potential projects after the
application that may be displaced and that they will not be entitled to assistance.
Notice of Non-Displacement informs households who will remain in the project
after completion of the assisted activity of their rights and of the terms and
conditions of their remaining at the property.
Temporary Relocation Notice informs households who will be temporarily
relocated of their rights and of the conditions of their temporary move.
Notice of Eligibility informs households to be displaced of their rights and levels
of assistance under federal law.
90 and 30 Day Notices informs displaced households of the day by which they
must vacate the property.
PLANNING FOR RELOCATION UNDER URA
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
65
A. Minimizing Displacement: It is the policy of the Kitsap County and City of
Bremerton Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) Programs to minimize displacement of people or
businesses as a result of activities assisted with CDBG or HOME funds. This
means:
a) Considering whether displacement will occur and how this would affect the
feasibility of the project.
b) Identifying potential relocation workload and resources early.
c) Assuring, whenever possible, that residential occupants of buildings to be
rehabilitated are offered an opportunity to return.
d) Planning rehabilitation projects to include “staging” where this would
minimize displacement.
B. Relocation Assistance for Displaced Residents
Relocation is defined as the permanent movement of occupants/tenants,
required as a result of a CDBG or HOME activity. Federal regulations require
that if any individuals, families, businesses or farms are displaced the
subrecipient must:
a) Inform the person(s) that they may be displaced and generally
describe the relocation payment(s) for which they may be eligible, the
basic conditions of eligibility, and the procedures for obtaining
payment(s).
b) Inform the person that they will not be required to move without at least
90 days advance written notice and that the person to be displaced
cannot be required to move permanently unless at least one
comparable replacement dwelling unit has been made available.
c) Inform the person that they will be given reasonable relocation
advisory services, including referrals to replacement properties, help in
filing payment claims, and other necessary assistance to help them
relocate.
d) Provide the person with a description of their right to appeal any
determinations for assistance under the Uniform Relocation and Real
Property Acquisition Act (49 CFR, Part 24).
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
66
e) Assure that those persons who are required to relocate receive their
full replacement housing payments, moving, and related expenses.
C. Rights of Residents who Remain in the Project
a) Remaining Households must be offered affordable Housing.
Tenants who are intended to remain in the project must receive
the offer of a “suitable” unit which can be rented at an “affordable”
price. Determining which tenants will be able to remain in the
project is a key component of determining the feasibility of an
occupied project.
b) Temporary Relocation
Residents who will remain in the project after rehabilitation may
be required to move temporarily during rehabilitation.
The temporary dwelling must be suitable and decent, safe and
sanitary but not necessarily comparable.
In addition to the Notice of Non-displacement, the resident must,
as a minimum, receive reasonable advance written notice of the
date and approximate duration of the planned temporary move;
information about the terms and conditions under which the
tenant will be returning to when the project is completed; and
reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with the temporary move.
c) Permanent Moves Within the Project
Tenants may be allowed to remain in a project after rehabilitation,
but not necessarily in the same unit.
Permanent moves within the same project must be to suitable,
decent, safe and sanitary - but not necessarily comparable –
units.
In addition to the Notice of Non-displacement, the resident must,
as a minimum receive reasonable advance written notice of the
date of the planned move to an alternate unit and; reimbursement
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan 2014
67
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with the move.
SECTION 104(d) - REPLACEMENT OF HOUSING
Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended
requires the one-for-one replacement of low/moderate income occupied or occupiable
dwelling units which are demolished or converted to a use other than low/moderate
income housing as a direct result of CDBG or HOME assistance. Under this section
relocation assistance shall be provided in accordance with 24 CFR Part 42.350. One
for one replacement of units shall be provided in accordance with 24 CFR Part 42.375.
All comparable replacement housing will be provided within one year prior to or three
years after commencement of the demolition or conversion. Before entering into a
contract committing the County to provide funds for an activity that will directly result in
demolition or conversion, Kitsap County will require the applicant to publish a notice in
the newspaper, and Kitsap County will submit to HUD, the following information in
writing:
1) Description of proposed assisted activity;
2) The address, number of bedrooms and map of location of the lower income
housing that will be lost as a result of the project;
3) Time schedule for start and completion of the demolition or conversion;
4) To the extent known, the address, number of bedrooms and map of the location
of replacement housing that has or will be provided. If such data are not
available at the time of the general submission, Kitsap County will identify the
general location on an area map and information identifying the specific location
and number of dwelling units by size shall be submitted and disclosed to the
public as soon as it is available;
5) Basis for concluding replacement housing will remain a low-income unit for at
least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy;
6) Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of housing units, that
are different in size from those units lost, is appropriate and consistent with
housing needs and priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan.

About the Funding
The Coordinated Grant Application Process brings together four separate funding sources into one common
application. A brief description of the funding sources is listed below. For more detailed information please
refert to the CDBG/HOME Policy Plan or the AHGP /HHGP Policy Plans.
Community Development Block Grant
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a flexible program that provides communities
with funding to address a wide range of unique community development needs. The program is a uthorized
by Title I of the Community Development Act of 1974. Funds are used to assist in the development of
decent housing, create suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities primarily for
persons of low and moderate income. All proje cts funded with CDBG must meet one of the three national
objectives:
1. Principally benefit low and very low income households;
2. Reduce or prevent slum and blight; or,
3. Meet an urgent need
HOME Investment Partnership Program
The HOME Program was created by the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA). The Housing and
Community Development Act of 1992 and the Multifamily Property Disposition Act of 1994 made important
changes to the Program. The intent of the HOME Program is to:
expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing;
strengthen the abilities of state and local governments to provide housing;
expand the capacity of nonprofit community based housing development organizations; and,
leverage private sector participation in financi ng affordable housing.
Homeless Housing Grant Program
The Homeless Housing Grant Program was created in Washington State by Engrossed Second Substitute
House Bill (ESSHB) 2163 on August 1, 2005. The law created a document recording fee on certain
documents to be utilized by local jurisdictions to reduce homelessness. Administration of the grant funds
are shared between local governments and the state. Eligible uses of the funds are broad as long as the
program funded addresses homelessness through housing and/or services.
Affordable Housing Grant Program
The Affordable Housing for All Grant Program came about through enactment of Substitute House Bill 2060
which became law in Washington State on June 13, 2002. The law created a document recording fee on
certain documents to be utilized for low -income housing.
Consolidated Homeless Grant Incentive Program
The Consolidated Homeless Grant Incentive Program is part of the WA Commerce’s Consolidated Homeless
Grant program. This incentive funding was earned through specific homeless activities provided by Ki tsap
agencies for the 2013 Cycle. Pending WA legislative action and WA Commerce Program Guidelines , this
grant funding source may be available in 2014.
Eligible Activities

3. Homeless
4. Community Development
5. Economic Development
The Plan provides objectives and strategies for how our community will meet the Pr iority Needs and will be

The 2011-2015 City of Bremerton and Kitsap County Consortium Consolidated Plan may be viewed at:
http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/display.php?id=790
http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/block_grant_program/block_grant_program.htm
More information about funding priorities may also be found in the City of Bremerton/Kitsap County
CDBG/HOME Policy Plan.
A ffordable Housing Grant Program and Homeless Housing Grant Program
The Affordable Housing Grant Program and Homeless Housing Grant Program funding priorities are
determined annually through a collaborative process of the Kitsap Continuum of Care Coalition and the
Kitsap Housing Funders Leadership Group, and approved by the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council .
2014 Coordinated Notice of Funding Availability 7
AHGP priorities are determined by type of housing allowed in the legislation. HHGP priorities must be
consistent with the Kitsap Homeless Housing Plan.

2014 Coordinated Notice of Funding Availability 8
2014 Funds Available
CDBG and HOME programs are federally funded through the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Funding levels are determined by HUD after the Federal Budget is finalized, which often
occurs after the program year has begun. Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton estimate funding levels
in order to start the grant application process ; therefore, funding amounts shown in the table below are
estimates. If HUD allocates a different amount to these programs than what was estimated, actual funding
awards w ill be increased or decreased to accommodate the discrepancy. We anticipate cuts to 2014
program funding.
The Affordable Housing Grant Program and the Homeless Housing Grant Program grant funds are
considered local funds. Washington State legislation created a surcharge on certain types of documents
being recorded at the Auditor’s Office in each county. A portion of the funds collected is remitted to
Washington State for distribution through statewide housing & homeless programs. The portion of the
funds that remains in each county is used to further the goals of the legislation through local grant
programs. In Kitsap, these are the Affordable Housing Grant Program and the Homeless Housing Grant
Program. Funds for each grant cycle are collected in advance; therefore grant award amounts are final.
Consolidated Homeless Grant Incentive Program funds may be available, pending WA legislative action and
WA Commerce Program Guidelines.
For 2014, the minimum grant request is $10,000. All grants will be made for one year only (no forward
commitments).
The following table shows an overall view of the total estimated amount of funds available in this
application cycle by the application type and funding sources.

2014 Coordinated Notice of Funding Availability 14
If Your Agency is Awarded Funds
If your project/program is awarded funding, you will need to understand and follow the regulatory
requirements associated with each of the funding sources .
Please refer to the following documents for guidance:
Bremerton/Kitsap County CDBG/HOME Policy Plan
(http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/display.php?id=864 )
Bremerton/Kitsap County CDBG/HOME Guidebook
(http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/block_grant_program/block_grant_program.htm )
AHGP, HHGP and CHGIP Policy Plan (http://www.kitsapregionalcouncil.org/housing_cga.php)
Things you should know:
1. CDBG and HOME funds are Federal funds. Use of Federal funds may affect the way your agency
does business.
If you are applying for Federal funds for the first time, you are strongly encouraged to
meet with Block Grant staff to discuss Federal regulations.
In addition to the rules and requirements of HOME and CDBG, there are several additional
broad Federal rules that must be followed including rules surrounding non -discrimination
and equal access, employment, contracting and procurement, environmental requirements,
record keeping and financial controls.
2. Contracting
Your agency will be required to enter into a contract with the jurisdiction providing the
funding, either the City of Bremerton, Kitsap County or Kitsap Regional Coordinating
Council.
The City of Bremerton and Kitsap county manage their CDBG and HOME contracts
separately. However, for both jurisdictions, the following applies:
o Public Service contracts may begin incurring costs at the start of the contract year .
o Capital contracts must receive a notice to proceed before costs can be incurred.
o Contracts for federal funds operate on a reimbursement basis.
The Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) manages the grant contracts for awards
from the Affordable Housing Grant Program and the Homeless Housing Grant Program , in
partnership with the Kitsap County Auditor’s Office.
o The Auditor’s Office uses information provided by the KRCC Grant Program
Manager to issue contracts to grantees.
o The KRCC Grant Program Manager monitors grantees and approves
reimbursement requests.
The program year begins January 1, 2014.
o NOTE: If you are a recipient of federal funds you may not receive a contract until
mid-year, based on when the federal budget is approved and when the
City/County receive a contract from HUD. Depending on your project, your
contract term may coincide with the program year start date.
3. Reporting Requirements
Quarterly Reports : It is your responsibility to submit quarterly performance and
demographics reports, beginning January 1, 2014. Reports are to be submitted to each
funding agency you are under contract with.
HMIS Reporting: Homeless projects/programs will be required to report in the Homeless
Management and Information System (HMIS ) system in addition to any other required
quarterly reports. For further information about HMIS, please consult the HHGP Policy Plan.

SUMMARY: The Washington State Department of Health requires water systems to establish water
efficiency goals every six years at the same time the Water System Plan is being adopted.
Bremerton last established water efficiency goals in 2007. Washington Administrative Code 246-290
requires that water efficiency goals describe measurable outcomes in reduced or maintained water
usage, be set in a public forum providing opportunity for comments, and that City Council review the
comments received.
City staff recommend the following goals:
1) Keep water use in single family homes to an average of less than 180 gallons per day.
2) Businesses provided with targeted water efficiency information will reduce their water use by
3%.
Between May 24 and June 10, 2013 Bremerton will solicit comments on these goals and will present
to City Council study session for review. The establishment of the final efficiency goals will be on
June 19, 2013.
ATTACHMENTS: Efficiency Goal Setting Fact Sheet, Resolution
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): Bremerton’s water efficiency program is budgeted
at approximately $25,000 per year to provide outreach on ways customers can use water wisely.

Bremerton’s Water Efficiency Rule Goal Setting Proposal for 2013
The Washington State Municipal Water Supply Efficiency Requirements Act requires the City of Bremerton
Water Utility to comply with the following:
Requirement Status
Provide source, consumption, and demand forecast
data
In compliance as documented in the Water System
Plan
Meter all sources and customers All Bremerton sources and customers are metered
Distribution system leakage must be less than 10% on
a 3-year average Bremerton’s water leakage rate is less than 10%
Establish measurable water efficiency goals using a
public process
Public efficiency goal setting first conducted by City
Council in November 2006 in conjunction with WSP
public informational meeting and will next be
addressed in 2013
Water efficiency program must implement or evaluate
at least nine measures and describe how customers
will be educated on efficiency practices
Bremerton’s Water Efficiency Plan meets these
requirements
Annual performance reports must be delivered to
customers beginning July 1, 2008
Bremerton’s report is included in the annual
Consumer Confidence Report sent in the customer
utility bills
WAC 246-290-830 requires water systems to develop water efficiency goals that must:
Describe measurable outcomes in terms of reduced or maintained water production or usage
Be set in a public forum that provides opportunity for consumers to participate and comment
Be reviewed by City Council who shall consider all comments received
The following water efficiency goal is proposed for Bremerton main System:
Keep water use in single family households to an average of less than 180 gallons per day over a 3-
year period.
The following water efficiency goal is proposed for the Bremerton W517 Zone System:
Businesses provided targeted efficiency information will reduce water use by 3%.
Our community has done an excellent job with water efficiency. The proposed goals were selected to maintain
our conservation achievements, be reasonable to attain, and be easily communicated to our customers.
The rationale for the main system goal is that over 80% of the water used within the City’s retail water system
is used for residential use, most of that by single family homes. The amount of water used by single family
households is calculated annually and is shown in the chart below.
Bremerton and other area water systems
have seen a decline in use per household.
The proposed water efficiency goal is 7%
less than our previous goal of 195 gallons
per day and demonstrates the City’s
dedication to maintaining the conservation
advances already made. A separate goal
was designed for the W517 Zone system
since it is almost all businesses.
A survey will be used and the June 19 City
Council meeting will serve as the public
forum to encourage public input for water
efficiency goal setting. Goals may be
revised and new ones could be included
as a result of the public process.

M EMORANDUM
CITY OF BREMERTON, D EPARTMENT OF COMMUNI TY DEVELOPMENT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEANNIE VAUGHN, BUILDING OFFICIAL
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS OF CITY BUILDING CODE
DATE: MAY 14, 2013
The Washington State Building Code will be updated on July 1, 2013, to the 2012 editions of the
International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code,
International Fuel Gas Code, International Energy Conservation Code, and the Uniform
Plumbing Code.
The adoption by the State of Washington applies to all cities, towns and counties, including the
City of Bremerton. Cities and counties are charged with enforcement of the State Building Code,
and may make amendments as long as the amendments maintain the minimum performance
standards and do not affect single dwellings or multifamily dwellings (2-story, <5,000 sf, and ≤4
dwellings). The proposed motion will repeal the 2009 editions of the codes, adopt the 2012
editions, and provide for amendments to the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) 17.04.
The Department will give the Council workshop presentations on May 22, 2013, and June 12,
2013, with the public hearing and adoption scheduled on June 19, 2013. The new code will be
effect on July 1, 2013.
Attachment 1 to this memo includes a summary of the significant or interesting changes that I
thought would be of most interest in my professional opinion. More than 500 changes are
incorporated into the 2012 codes, many of which are editorial or clarifications. About 200
changes are significant in that they are additions or improvements to the code. The “Impact”
column to the right of each item in the summary is a measurement of the anticipated impact to
the contractor, developer, homeowner, or City staff. Impacts are rated from 1 to 3, with 1 being
little or no impact and 3 being controversial or significant added cost of construction or time.
The State Building Code Council consists of 15 members appointed by the governor and
includes elected officials, commercial and residential construction representatives, architect,
structural engineer, mechanical engineer, representative of construction trades, a person with a
physical disability, and a representative of the general public. The code is adopted on a 3-year
cycle by the State legislature, and the Council makes recommendations to the State legislature
as to the adoption language of the codes.
The Council appoints experts and interest group representatives to serve on the Technical
Advisory Groups (TAG) to assist the Council by providing detailed information on state building
code changes and other issues. All meetings are open to the public and active participation is
encouraged. The groups include the Building Code Tag, Residential TAG, Green Construction
TAG, Plumbing Code TAG, Fire Code TAG, among others. Public participation is encouraged in
all meetings and hearings.

Fees are covered in the BMC. 1107.5 Section number changed from 107.4 to 107.5.1302.8Motor vehicles is not adopted presently. The section would assist code enforcement in those complaints regarding parked cars in disrepair.1303.1, 303.2The entire section of 303 Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs is not adoopted presently, because the Health District was thought to beinvolved with pools. The proposed code deletes 303.2 for the enclosures because the Healt6h District and the IRC has regulations for enclosures, and adopts 303.1 Swimming pools.1307307 Handrails and Guardrails is not adopted presently. It has language that allows handrails at lower and higher heights than what is allowed by today's codes. However, in order to apply the code more efficiently, this section should be adopted as it applies to the maintenance of existing buildings. The section has been amended to reflect today's codes for height of handrails and guardrails, but will also allow for a reduced standard if the height was allowed by the code at the time of construction and is considered safe in the opinion of the Building Official. 1309.5309.5 Occupant is not adopted presently. This section makes the occupant responsible for maintaining a structure as rodent and pest‐free, except that the owner is responsible if the infestation is due to the defects of the structure. 1505.4505.4 Water systems was adopted without the second section that limits the installation in rooms that can be closed off. This section matches what is written in the fuel gas code. The whole section should not be adopted as written in the code.1Attachment 1 to Staff Memo Page 8 of 8

concluded and require carryover expenditure authority, to reallocate revenue and
expenditure line items within budget control categories with zero net increase,
and to formally account for various council motions/resolutions previously
approved during 2013.
Enclosed is the mid-year budget amendment ordinance and supporting

Increase Real Estate Excise Tax in Fund 308 for additional anticipated
revenue, $70,000, and allocate $6,900 to Debt Service Funds 203 and
204 to account for revenue reduction in BAB’s subsidy payments.
In the Parks Construction Fund, increase capital by $268,342 and
intergovernmental revenue by $29,942 for Kiwanis Park carryover.
Account for $1,313,228 in revenue and $1,650,854 in expenditures as
carryover in the Lower Wheaton Way Fund.
Budget $3,958,674 to account for revenue and expenditures in the newly
created Pacific Avenue Construction Fund 332.
Enterprise & Internal Service Funds
Adjust Gold Mountain Golf Fund to reflect changes associated with debt
service refinancing, and previously approved Columbia Hospitality
contract - total budgeted revenue $3,870,608 and total budgeted
expenditures $3,752,741.
Based on the rate study analysis and 2012 carryovers, the Water,
Wastewater and Stormwater Operations and Capital Funds had
adjustments to reflect charges for services, transfers-in and transfers-out,
supplies and capital. The O & M Funds also includes a reallocation of
budget from supplies to personnel for part-time and seasonal extra help.
Account for transfers-out from Water Capital, $500,000, and Wastewater
Capital, $550,000, to newly created Pacific Avenue Construction Fund for
utility work associated with Pacific Avenue Construction Project.
3
Adjust Information Technology Fund to reflect reallocations within budget
categories due to savings in personnel and reduced revenue from Gold
Mountain Golf.
To accommodate cross training within the Public Works Administration, staff
recommends upgrading an existing vacant Office Assistant II position to an Office
Assistant Senior. Additionally, Engineering is requesting an upgrade of a Civil
Engineer I to a Civil Engineer II based on the scope of work required for the
Pacific Avenue, Anderson Cove, Lower Wheaton Way and Eastpark Stormwater
Outfall Projects. A budget adjustment is not needed for 2013 for these positions
due to current vacancies in both departments.
The budget adjustments are necessary to properly reflect the nature and extent
of revenues and expenditures of the various City funds and department s. The
ending fund balances, as amended by this ordinance for the Utility Systems,
meets the City’s adopted Financial Goals & Policies expectations. The fund
balance for Gold Mountain Golf, does not meet the target, however with the
adjustments proposed under the new contract with Columbia Hospitality, the
anticipated ending fund balance is increased by $332,256 which demonstrates
progress toward meeting the target level.
The General Fund ending fund balance of $3,017,815 exceeds the 8.5% target
level by $58,617 after the proposed adjustments. The 2013 budget, as proposed,
increases the General Fund ending fund balance by $676,257 over the
previously adopted budget and includes a transfer of $230,000 to the
Contingency Reserve Fund demonstrating continued effort to build reserves.
The attached ordinance and supporting schedules (by fund) include adjustments
by budget control category for both revenues and expenditures with a City-wide
appropriation of $128,630,272.
