This appliance was purchased late in 2011. The MD3200i appliance contains 12 two-terabyte drives and is positioned in the middle of Dells' entry level class of equipment. Equipment of this nature has a useful life expectancy of 4-5 years. The replacement of this appliance was scheduled for 2015 in the IT departments Capital Improvement Plan for which $25,000 was set aside. IT workload in 2015 precluded us from scheduling this work so the CIP funds were carried over into 2016's budget. In May of this year, the MD3200i suffered a failure that took the appliance offline for an extended period of time. The earliest system to "Return to Normal Operations (RTO)" took 18 hours with the longest return at 4 days. This RTO time is unacceptable. In June of 2016, the City contracted with GSCIT, a local Dell partner solutions provider, to provide an assessment of our existing storage infrastructure and to make a recommendation given our current and future performance expectations. From that study, the recommendations were to; 1) introduce a storage area network (SAN) component to our solution for fault tolerance and; 2) upgrade the storage appliance from the entry level Dell Powervault series to the an enterprise class Dell Compellent series storage array. ATTACHMENTS: GSCIT Dell NASPO/ValuePoint Quote FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): This capital project was schedule for 2015 and as such the project budget was set in the summer of 2014 and it was intended to be a refresh using the same class equipment. In light of GCSIT study recommendations, it is necessary to increase the budget to bring in a class of equipment better suited to our operation. The project cost is $55,485.00 plus a tax of$4,826.76 bringing a total project budget of$60,311.76. The CIP budgeted for 2015/2016 is $25,000 plus we have a $6,000 network switch replacement line item in our O&M budget that is available for this project. This leaves the project deficit of$29,311.76 which will come from 2015 carryover funds and ending funding balance.

The allocation of CDBG and HOME funds are guided by the Strategic Plan which is a part of the Consolidated Plan. Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton have prepared a Consolidated Plan for 2016-2020 in order to implement our community's federal program funds. The purpose of the plan is to evaluate community needs and set goals for the five year plan period. Through a Community Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis and with community and stakeholder input, the City of Bremerton has developed a Strategic Plan. The City of Bremerton's Strategic Plan outlines the priorities and goals which guide the allocation of funds over the five year period. The funds allocated for the 2017 grant application cycle will be included in the Year 2, 2017 Action Plan. The priorities identified for the Consolidated Plan five year period are as follows: • Revitalize targeted neighborhoods; • Improve and preserve affordable homeownership housing; • Expand economic opportunities for very-low, low, and moderate income Bremerton residents; • Abate Blight conditions downtown; • Increase homeownership opportunities for low to moderate income Bremerton residents. For 2017 the City Council has slected to focus on the priorities to revitalize neighborhoods to create affordable housing, improve homeownership housing, and the development of job training programs. 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 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 Counry and the City a percentage (as determined by HUD) of the annual allocation of HOME funds is designated for the City and the remaining designated for the County. As the City of Bremerton is designated as a separate Entitlement Community, the City receives its own CDBG funds. CDBG funds are allocated annually through the City in Requests for Funding Proposals. HOME funds are allocated annually through a competitive grant process coordinated by Kitsap County. 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. 3 CDBGFUNDS 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 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 projects 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 (emergency or natural disaster) WHO IS AN ELIGIBLE APPLICANT/RECIPIENT? Eligible applicanUrecipients include: • City or County governments • Public and private nonprofit organizations (501(c)3) � Section 301(d) small business investment companies • Local development corporations • Private for-profit organizations may implement certain economic development and microenterprise activities. • Faith based organizations • Additionally, applicants must: • Demonstrate an active governing body or board of directors or other applicable leadership within your organization with skills and experience to provide leadership and direction to the agency. • Demonstrate the legal, financial, and programmatic ability to administer the proposed program/project; and, • Meet the County/City requirements for contracting agencies such as insurance requirements, audit and financial requirements. FUNDING PRIORITIES For the 2017 Program Year Bremerton City Council has chosen the following priorities for use of funds: • Capital projects in the target area to revitalize neighborhoods to create affordable housing . • Target-Area Weatherization and Minor Home Repair for Homeownership Housing � City-Wide Economic Development for job training programs Proposals for Activities that do not meet these fundinQ priorities will not be eliqible for fundin . 4 WHAT ARE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES?

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: • Rehabilitation of residential property where property is fully repaired • New construction of residential property • Acquisition of residential property • Rental assistance payments to tenants • Relocation associated with an eligible HOME project • A small part(up to 5%) of the annual HOME allocation may be used to help pay the operating expenses of designated Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs)within the guidelines established by HUD The following activities are generally not eliqible for HOME funding: • Project reserve accounts, except for the initial 18 months of a HOME assisted new construction project s • Emergency home repair programs • Public housing units • Commercial properties • Shelters, unless they meet Section 8 Housing Quality Standards and otherwise can be considered rental housing • Project based tenant assistance Note: The above lists are not comprehensive.

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 for HOME funds. The City will create a Request for Funding Proposal (RFP) based on its priorities for use of CDBG funds. The request for funding proposals will be released in September and a city-driven process will be used to determine funding allocations for CDBG. 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. 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 estimate funds available based on prior year's allocations and details will be listed in the RFP's. Applicants should request a minimum of$10,000 per application. Grant awards will typically not be awarded for less than $10,000. 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 has set additional funding targets to help meet local objectives. The following is the distribution for the City of Bremerton (local targets in italic): CDBG • Planning &Administration —20% max • City-Wide Economic Development for job training- $50,000 (fixed amount) � • Target Area Weatherization and Minor Home Repair for Homeownership Housing - $32,000 (fixed amount) • Capital Projects in Target Area to Revitalize Neighborhoods to Create Affordable Housing- $250,000 If no applicants apply for Weatherization and Minor Home Repair funds, those funds ($32,000 will be added to the Capital Projects thereby increasing the amount to $282,000). HOME • Administration - 10% max • Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Set-Aside– 15% min • Capital Projects–75% • City of Bremerton HOME funded projects Percentages may change year by year during the Consolidated Plan time period HOW CAN MY ORGANIZATION APPLY? � For the 2017 program year the application cycle will begin with the release of the Policy Plan in August and the commencement of a 30 day public comment period. At the end of the comment period, upon approval of the Policy Plan by the Bremerton City Council, the Requests for Funding Proposals (RFP's)will be made available on-line. Interested organizations can find the RFP's and all associated information on the City web site at http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/display.php?id=864. The schedule for the annual application cycle, including the due date for applications, is also available on the web site. Interested organizations may also contact Block Grant staff to request to be placed on the City interested parties list to receive automatic notices about these programs. Beginning in 2016 the annual application cycle for use of 2017 funds will begin in late summer 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 Bremerton City Council, the Requests for Funding Proposals (RFP's) will be made available on-line. WHEN WILL FUNDS BE AVAILABLE? Funds for the programs' January 1 – December 31 program year are generally not available until mid-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 City will not execute contracts with subrecipients until we have a contract from HUD. Once 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 a and HOME funds can be found on the City web site at: http://www.bremertonwa.qov/213/Subrecipient-CDBG-HOME-Guidebook. You may also contact the City Block Grant Staff for additional assistance. A. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Consistency with applicable City, County, andlor 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): y 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.qov/offices/cpd/affordablehousinq/modelquides/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. ProjecUActivity 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: 9 a. COMMITMENT: y 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 2017 must have an agreement executed by Dec. 31, 2017). i� 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: � Projects using HOME funds to acquire vacant land must be under construction within 12 months of the commitment date. y 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. 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 8� 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. 7. Applying the Public Benefit Standards When CDBG funds are used for special economic development projects and/or public facilities and improvements projects undertaken for economic development purposes, grantees must ensure that a minimum level of public benefit is obtained. Note: the public benefit standards do not apply to microenterprise assistance provided under 570.201(0). The individual and aggregate activity standards must be used as follows in order to make this determination. Applying the standards for individual activities: If an activity both creates/retains jobs and provides goods/services to LMI residents of an area, the activity is only ineligible only if it fails both standards (i.e. it must meet one); io The standards applied to the number of jobs projected or LMI area residents at the time funds are obligated; and If the activity is limited to job training/placement or employment services, the jobs assisted with CDBG are considered jobs created/retained for the purpose of applying the individual activity standards. Applying the aggregate standards: Entitlement communities must apply the aggregate standards to all activities for which funds were first obligated during any given program year; Grantees may elect to apply the standards to the creation/retention of jobs or to the provision of goods and services to LMI residents,•but cannot count an activity under both standards; If the activity is limited to job training/placement or other employment services, the jobs assisted with CDBG are considered as jobs created or retained when applying the aggregate standards; The following activities may be excluded from the aggregate standards: Jobs are provided exclusively for unemployed persons or participants of JTPA, JOBS or AFDC programs Jobs are provided predominantly for residents of public or Indian housing units; Jobs are provided predominantly for homeless persons; Jobs are provided predominantly for low-skilled, LMI persons and the business agrees to provide clear opportunities for promotion and economic advancement (e.g., provision of training); Jobs are provided predominantly for persons residing in a Census tract with at least 20 percent of the residents in poverty; Assistance is provided to businesses that operate in a Census tract with at least 20 percent of the residents in poverty; The activity stabilizes or revitalizes a neighborhood that has at least 70 percent LMI residents; Provides services or creates/retains jobs in a HUD-approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area; or With prior HUD approval, represents some other innovative approach with substantial benefits to LMI residents. ii Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area The City of Bremerton has an approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area which matches the target area for use of CDBG funds (Census Tract 805). Communities with approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas are offered enhanced flexibility in undertaking economic development. This flexibility is designed to promote innovative programs in economically disadvantaged areas of the community. Areas of enhanced regulatory flexibility include: -Job creation or retention effort focused on the selected neighborhood may be classified as meeting the LMI area benefit national objective requirements. • Businesses that receive such assistance need not track the specific income of newly hired employees to demonstrate LMI benefit. • This provision reduces the administrative burden to the business and is intended to provide an incentive to businesses to participate in the community's job creation/retention programs. - Aggregation of housing units for which CDBG funds obligated during each program year and treat them as a single structure. - 51 percent of total number of units must be occupied by LMI households. - This permits grantees greater flexibility in applying the LMI housing national objective criteria for the housing category. - In turn, grantees have flexibility in providing housing to residents of the NRSA neighborhood. - NOTE: The flexibility to aggregate housing units assisted does not change the requirement that homeownership assistance provided under 570.201 (n) must be provided only to LMI households. - Economic development activities carried out in the NRSA may be excluded from the aggregate public benefit standards. - This reduces recordkeeping requirements. - This affords greater flexibility in selecting and implementing economic development activities, and reduces the amount and scope of information that grantees must collect and document regarding its programs.

Additional information on environmental review requirements can be found in Section F of the CDBG/HOME Guidebook on the Kitsap County or City of Bremerton Block Grant Program web sites. 13 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, Geotechnical. 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. G.

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 City in development of the Consolidated Plan and annual application cycle which results in the Action Plan submission to HUD. The Kitsap County/City of Bremerton Block Grant Program Citizen Participation Plan can be found in Appendix A. �s CONSOLIDATED PLAN � WHAT IS THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN? The Consolidated Plan rolls the planning, application and pertormance 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 lonq-term strateqv 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 procrrams 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 8 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 B. The full text of the Consolidated Plan is available on both the County and City of Bremerton web sites and also available upon request. GLOSSARY A Glossary of terms has been included in Appendix F. �s Appendix A Citizen Participation Plan (Updated 7/14/2016) 19 CITY OF BREMERTON AIVD KITSAP COUNTY CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN Introduction The City of Bremerton receives both Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds. The City receives its own CDBG funds as an entitlement, and HOME funds through its membership in a Consortium with Kitsap County. The City of Bremerton is committed to assuring opportunities for citizen involvement in decisions concerning activities taking place within the community. Each year the City of Bremerton is 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, the City has adopted a Citizen Participation Plan. Beginning in 2015, the City of Bremerton has removed its CDBG funding from the Grant Recommendation Committee Process with Kitsap County. However the City still participates with the Homeless Housing Grant Program and the Affordable Housing Grant Program in the combined funding & application process. This combined process includes a single application for funds, a single Grant Recommendation Committee (GRC) process and funding recommendation for use of HOME funds and Homeless Housing Grant Program. Funding recommendations are approved by the Kitsap Board of Commissioners for County CDBG/HOME funds and by the Bremerton City Council for City CDBG/HOME funds. 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 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 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 community. Annual Atlocation Process 1 Action Plan Submission The City of Bremerton as an entitlement jurisdiction will 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. Staff will be hosting info sessions throughout this process. The first will be August 3, 2016. A.

To meet the UM income jobs standard 51% or more of the retained jobs must be either: i. Known to be held by L/M income persons at the time CDBG assistance is provided, and/or ii. For jobs not known to be held by L/M income persons, reasonably expected to "turn over" to L/M income persons within finro years. (This would involve the grantee or business taking actions to ensure that such a job, upon turnover, will be either taken by or made available to a L/M income person in a manner similar to that pertaining to a newly created job e. In order to consider jobs retained as a result of CDBG assistance, there must be clear and objective evidence that permanent jobs will be lost without CDBG assistance. For these purposes "clear and objective" evidence that jobs will be lost would include: i. Evidence that the business has issued a notice to affected employees or made a public announcement to that effect, or ii. Analysis of relevant financial records which clearly and convincingly shows that the business is likely to have to cut back employment in the near future without the planned intervention. f. Principles involved in providing "first consideration": i. The business must use a hiring practice that under usual circumstances would result in over 51% of L/M income persons interviewed for applicable jobs being hired, ii. The business must seriously consider a sufficient number of L/M income job applicants to give reasonable opportunity to fill the position with such a person, and iii. The distance from residence and availability of transportation to the job site must be reasonable before a particular L/M income person may be considered a serious applicant for the job. In counting the jobs to be used in the calculation for determining the percentage that benefit L/M income persons, the following policies apply: 1. Part time jobs must be converted to full time equivalents (FTE) (e.g. a job that will require only working half time would count as only one-half a job); 2. Only permanent jobs count; temporary jobs may not be included; 3. Seasonal jobs are considered to be permanent for this purpose only if the season is long enough for the job to be considered as the � employee's principal occupation; 35 4. All permanent jobs created or retained by the activity must be counted even if the activity has multiple sources of funds; and 5. Jobs indirectly created or retained by an assisted activity (i.e., "spin off' jobs) may not be counted. Some examples of activities that qualifity when at least 51% of jobs created/retained will be for LMI persons include: • Clearance activities on a site slated for new business; • Rehabilitation activity that will correct code violations and enable a business to survive and retain jobs; � . • Assistance to a small business with a limited number of employees that agrees to hire three additional LMI employees. The following requirements must be met for jobs to be considered created or retained: • If jurisdictions fund activities that create jobs, there must be documentation indicating that at least 51% of the jobs will be held by, or made available to LMI persons; and • For funding activities that retain jobs, there must be sufficient information documenting that the jobs would have been lost without the CDBG assistance and that one or both of the following applies to at least 51% of the jobs: o The job is held by a LMI person; or o The job can reasonably be expected to turn over within the following two years and steps will be taken to ensure that the job will be filled by, or made available to, a LMI person. NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY AREA The City of Bremerton has an approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) which matches the CDBG target area. This NRSA allows for increased flexibility in undertaking economic development and housing activities with CDBG funds. Areas of enhanced regulatory flexibility include: -Job creation or retention effort focused in the NRSA may be classified as meeting the LMI area benefit national objective requirements. • Businesses that receive such assistance need not track the specific income of newly hired employees to demonstrate LMI benefit. • This provision reduces the administrative burden to the business and is intended to provide an incentive to businesses to participate in the community's job creation/retention programs. 36 - Aggregation of housing units for which CDBG funds are obligated during each program year and treat them as a single structure. 0 51% of total number of units must be occupied by LMI households. o This permits grantees greater flexibility in applying the LMI housing national objective criteria for the housing category. - Economic development activities carried out in the NRSA may be excluded from the aggregate public benefit standards thereby reducing recordkeeping requirements. - This affords greater flexibility in seiecting and implementing economic development activities, and reduces the amount and scope of information that grantees must collect and document regarding its programs. II. Reduce or Eliminate Blight The City of Bremerton's blight area has been designated by the City. A map will be attached to Appendix G of this document. Activities to be assisted with CDBG funds must be limited to those that address one or more of the conditions which contributed to the deterioration of the area. (Note that this does not limit the activities to those that address the blight or decay itself, but it allows an activity to qualify if it can be shown to address a condition that is deemed to have contributed to the decline of the area.) II. REDUCE OR ELIMINATE BLIGHT An activity may meet the national objective of reducing or eliminating blight, instead of benefiting low and very low income people. Currently, there is one designated blight area in the City of Bremerton. There are finro different ways that CDBG activities can meet this second national objective. Area Basis A project must be located in an area defined as a blighted area under state or local law; the conditions which qualified the 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 blight on a spot basis (for example, outside of a locally designated blighted area) 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. Examples of Activities: Rehabilitation of residential structures: 37 Where the assisted activity is rehabilitation of residential structures, two additional criteria must be met: 1. Each such building must be considered under local definition (At a minimum, the local definition must be at least as stringent as the housing quality standards used in the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program — Existing Housing.) and; 2. All deficiencies making the building substandard must be corrected before less critical work on the building may be undertaken. Note: These two criteria do not apply to nonresidential rehabilitation (rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings). Other activities may include: • Acquisition and clearance of blighted properties, • Commercial revitalization through fa�ade improvements, • Commercial rehab to correct code deficiencies, 191. Meet an Urgent Need A. Urgent Need woufd be a natural disaster or federally declared disaster. NOTE: The vast majority of CDBG activities funded are designed to benefit low and very low income persons and households. How Does A Proiect Meet a National Obiective? 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 area median 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 38 This criteria allows a project located in principally residential area to meet a National Objective by demonstrating that, based on the demographics of a project's defined service area, at least 51% of the residents are low or very low income. Certain activities are a natural fit for area benefit, as they serve a geographic area, such as parks, neighborhood facilities, community centers and streets/sidewalks. Please contact the City Block Grant office for maps and more information on documenting your service area and determining eligibility under Area Benefit. Applicants must: LI 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). 0 Explain why that particular geographic area is the service area for the project; 0 Indicate on the map residential and commercial areas within the service area boundary; and 0 Provide documentation that 51%(City) 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 Block Grant office for maps and more information on documenting your service area. B. LIMITED CLIENTELE An activity which benefits a limited clientele, at least 51% of whom are lowr or 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: 0 Demonstrate that the facility or service is designed for and used predominantly by one of the groups identified above. � Demonstrate that your clientele meets HUD's definition for the presumed group you serve, for example, homeless individuals must meet HUD's definition and documentation requirements at 39 https://www.onecpd.info/resources/documents/HomelessDefinition Re cordkeepinqRequirementsandCriteria.pdf 2. Reauire documentation on familv size and income in order to show that at least 51 percent of the clientele are low income —This means your program can serve low and moderate income clientele if at least 51% of your clientele are low income. Agencies must keep information on client income and family 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: 0 Provide documentation of the total number of clients/households served in 2015 (if this is an existing service); 0 State what percent of the clients/households served in 2015 were low or very low income (or met criteria that are stricter); C�1 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; Q Provide a copy of the client intake form highlighting the questions regarding family size and income levels; and 0 Agree to maintain documentation of the client's incomes for the CDBG contract period. 3. Income Eliqibilitv Requirements (Direct Benefit) -- This means that the agency uses income screening to limit the benefits of the CDBG funded activity to o� 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: 0 Screen clients by family size and income; 40 Q Provide a copy of the income qualification criteria that were used to screen clients to determine low and very low income status; 0 Provide a copy of the client intake form highlighting the questions regarding family size and income levels; and C�1 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 Activitv Allows Conclusion of Primarilv Low and Verv 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, free childcare in an assisted housing project. Applicants must: 0 Expiain 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. ft 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 projects under the limited clientele national objective justification, the low 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 a, services) to assist business(es), the percentage of low and moderate income 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). Applicanfs musf: C�1 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. 0 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. 0 Maintain records on the total cost of the activity, including both CDBG and non-CDBG funds. 0 Screen households for family size and income eligibility. 0 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 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. 42 E. Special Economic Development Activities An economic development project in the CDBG program may be supported by a range of CDBG-funded activities, including both special economic development activities and other categories of basic eligibility, each of which must beet a national objective of the CDBG program. ' Eligible Activities: • Commercial or industrial improvements carried out by the grantee or a nonprofit subrecipient, including: o Acquisition, o Construction, o Rehabilitation, o Reconstruction, or o Installation of commercial or industrial buildings or structures and other related real property equipment and improvements. • Assistance to private for-profit entities for an activity determined by the grantee to be appropriate to carry out an economic development project. This assistance may include, but is not limited to: o Grants, o Loans, o Loan Guarantees; o Interest supplements; o Technical assistance; or o Any other form except for those described as ineligible. • Special Economic Development activities do not include: o Public facilities and improvements carried out to support or benefit a private for-profit business (These activities may, however, be eligible under the category of Public Facilities and Improvements). o New Housing Construction. This activity may be eligible under either of the categories of Construction of Housing or Special Activities by CBDO's. When a project to be assisted includes new construction of housing as part of a commercial structure (e.g. a "mixed use" project), those costs clearly attributable to the commercial portion of the project may be eligible as a special economic development activity. • For example a project would qualify as a special economic development activity under a L/M Income Area Benefit if the assistance to a business which provides 43 goods or services to residents of a L/M residential area. An example of a project would be: Assistance to neighborhood businesses such as grocery stores or laundromats serving a predominantly L/M neighborhood. Note: HUD requires that activities which could be carried out under the category of Special Economic Development must meet the standards of public benefit set forth in 570.209(b). CDBG FUNDING - SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 1. Reversion of Assets / 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 Less than$15,000 5 Years existing facilities or housing $15,000-$40,000 10 Years (including homeownership Greater than$40,000 15 Years assistance) New Construction or Acquisition of land for new Any$amount 20 Years construction *Dollar threshold is per facility, or if housing, per unit for single family housing CDBG assisted properties have a 5 year use restriction.Reversion of assets provisions require agency to transfer to the City any CDBG funds on hand at the time of expiration of the subrecipient agreement, any accounts receivable attributable to the use of CDBG funds, and any non- expendable personal property that was purchased with CDBG funds 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 will utilize the guidelines provided at 24 CFR 570.209 relative to project costs and financial requirements and standards for evaluating public benefit. 44 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. 45 Appendix D Anti-Displacement & Relocation Assistance Plan 46 Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan Introduction • Applicants for federal funds must comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Relocation Assistance and real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, referred to as URA. URA regulations, at 49CFR 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 Nofice of Voluntary Arms Length Transaction is available from the Block Grant Office) 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. a. Occupants to be displaced must be informed of their eligibility for relocation assistance and the nature of the assistance. 47 b. 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. y 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. y 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. y 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. Planninq for Relocation Under URA A. Minimizinq Displacement: It is the policy of the 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). 48 b. Inform the person that they will not be required to move without at least 9 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 CFG, Part 24). . e. Assure that those persons who are required to relocate receive their full replacement housing payments, moving, and related expenses. C. Riqhts of Residents who Remain in the Proiect a. Remaining Households must be offered affordable housing. i. 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 i. Residents who will remain in the project after rehabilitation may be required to move temporarily during rehabilitation. ii. The temporary dwelling must be suitable and decent, safe and sanitary but not necessarily comparable. iii. 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 i. Tenants may be allowed to remain in a project after rehabilitation, but not necessarily in the same unit. ii. Permanent moves within the same project must be to suitable, decent, safe and sanitary-but not necessarily comparable-units. iii. 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 for all 49 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 City to provide funds for an activity that will directly result in demolition or conversion, The City of Bremerton will require the applicant to publish a notice in the newspaper, and the City of Bremerton 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, City of Bremerton 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. Definitions Comparable replacement dwellinq unit: A unit that meets the criteria of 49 CFR 24.2 (d)(1) through (6); and is available at a monthly cost for rent that does not exceed the "Total Tenant Payment" determined under 24 CFR Part 42 813.107. 50 Conversion: This term means altering a housing unit so that it is used for non-housing purposes; used for housing but no longer meets the definition of lower income dwelling unit; or used as an emergency shelter. Lower-Income Dwellinq Unit: A dwelling unit with a market rent (including utility costs) that does not exceed the applicable Fair Market Rent (FMR) for Sectio n8 existing housing established under 24 CFR Part 888. However, the term does not include any unit that is owned and occupied by the same person before and after the assisted rehabilitation. Vacant occupiable dwellinq unit: A vacant dwelling unit that is in standard condition; vacant dwelling unit that is in substandard condition but is suitable for rehabilitation; or a dwelling unit in any condition that has been occupied (except by a squatter) at any time within the period beginning 3 months before the date of execution of the agreement by the recipient covering the rehabilitation or demolition. 51 Appendix E HOME Eligibility Requirerr�ents & Program Rules 52 HOME ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND PROGRAM RULES The HOME Program was created by the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA) to promote the following objectives: s Provide decent and affordable housing to lower-income households, Y Expand the capacity of nonprofit housing services, > Strengthen the ability of local governments to provide housing, and � Leverage private-sector participation. What are Eliqible HOME - Funded Activities? • Homeowner Rehabilitation: HOME funds may be used to assist existing owner- occupants with the repair, rehabilitation or reconstruction of their homes. • Homebuyer Activities: Participating jurisdictions may finance the acquisition and/or rehabilitation or new construction of homes for homebuyers. • Rental Housing: Affordable rental housing may be acquired and/or rehabilitated, or constructed. What are Eliqible HOIVIE Costs? • Developmental Hard Costs: HOME funds may be used for the actual cost of constructing or rehabilitating housing. Eligible costs include demolition of existing structures and improvements to the project site that are in keeping with improvements of surrounding, standard projects, and costs to make utility connections. • Acquisition Costs: HOME funds may be used for the costs of acquiring improved or unimproved real property. • Related Soft Costs: HOME funds may be used for other reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the owner and associated with the financing or development (or both) of new construction, rehabilitation, or acquisition of housing assisted with HOME funds. These costs include, but are not limited to: o Architectural, engineering or related professional services required to prepare plans, drawings, specifications, or work write-ups; o Costs to process and settle financing for a project, such as private lender origination fees, credit reports, fees for title evidence, fees o for recordation and filing of legal documents, building permits, attorney fees, private appraisal fees and fees for an independent cost estimate, builders or developer fees; 53 � o Costs of a project audit; o Costs to provide information services such as affirmative marketing and fair housing information to prospective homeowners and tenants; o Costs for new construction or substantial rehabilitation, the cost of funding an initial operating deficit reserve, which is a reserve to meet any shortfall in project income during the period of project run up and which may only be used to pay operating expenses, reserve for replacements and debt service. • Relocation Costs: HOME funds may be used for the costs of relocation payments and other relocation assistance for permanent or temporarily relocating individuals, families, businesses, non-profit organizations, and farm operation where assistance is required. • CHDO Operating Expenses • Total HOME Assisted costs: HOME funds may be used to pay for all expenses from developmental hardcosts through CHDO operating expenses. • Total Number of HOME Assisted Units: HOME funds may be used to pay for the costs of the total number of units that will be assisted with HOME funds. • HOME Costs per Unit: HOME funds may be used for the total HOME costs divided by the total number of HOME assisted units. What Is a Community Development Housinq Orqanization (CHDO)? A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community-based service organization that has obtained or intends to obtain staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. A CHDO must meet certain requirements pertaining to their: • Legal status; • Organizational structure; and • Capacity and experience HOME program rules require that a minimum of 15% of HOME funds be set-aside for CHDOs. These funds can be used by the CHDO for HOME activities where the CHDO acts as the developer, sponsor and/or owner of the housing. For more information on becoming a CHDO please contact the County or City Block Grant office. Proqram Rules 54 The HOME Program has specific program rules that applicants should be aware of when contemplating applying for funds. Some applicable program rules include but are not limited to: 1. HOME Project Completion o 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. Rental Housing: Within six months from the date of project completion, if a HOME assisted rental unit remains unoccupied, the Block Grant office will provide to HUD information about current marketing efForts, and if appropriate, an enhanced plan for marketing the unit so that it is leased as quickly as possible. Within 18 months from the date of project completion, if efforts to market the unit are unsuccessful and the unit is not occupied by an eligible tenant, HUD will require repayment of all HOME funds invested in the unit. o Homeownership Housing: HOME assisted homeownership housing must have a ratified sales contract with an eligible homebuyer within 9 months of the completion of construction or rehabilitation, or it must be converted to rental housing. If converted, this rental housing must comply with all provisions of 24 CFR 92.252. If an unsold homebuyer unit is not converted to rental housing, the HOME funds must be repaid. 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. Minimum Activity Dollar Threshold** Affordability Period Less than 5 Years Homebuyer activity for $15,000/unit 10 Years acquisition, rehabilitation $15,000 - 15 Years and new construction of $40,000/unit homes Greater than $40,000/unit Less than 5 Years Rehabilitation or $15,000/unit 10 Years Acquisition of existing $15,000 - 15 Years rental housing $40,000/unit Greater than 55 $40,000/unit Refinance of a rental Any $ amount 15 Years housing Rehabilitation project New Construction Any $ amount 20 Years (including land acquisition) or Acquisition of new rental housing. ** Dollar threshold is per unit for single family housing 3. HOME ResalelRecapture 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 restrictions must be recorded on the property to ensure the affordability. 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: r Admission & Tenant Selection (including an Affirmative Marketing Plan) � Lease Provisions 8� 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. CHDO Certification A Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) must meet certain statutory requirements under the HOME program to be designated as a CHDO. CHDO activities must involve acquisition, construction or rehabilitation, and sale (homebuyer or rental) of housing to eligible households. To be a CHDO, an organization must have "demonstrated capacity for carrying out activities assisted with HOME funds." There are two ways to meet this requirement: • Hire experienced key staff members who have successfully completed similar projects; or • Hire a consultant with the same type of experience and a plan to train appropriate key staff members of the organization. Kitsap County/ City of Bremerton Block Grant Programs are required to certify that an organization qualifies as a Community Housing Development 56 Organization (CHDO) each time it commits CHDO set-aside funds to the organization. CHDO certification will be required before a commitment of set- aside funds is made. 6. Underwriting, Subsidy Layering Review 8� Developer Capacity Analysis Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton, using 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. Staff will also conduct a review of developer capacity and project fiscal soundness. A Conditional Commitment of funds will be made until all other project funding has been secured and documented. 7. 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. 8. 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 agencies to identify sources and levels of HOME match required on a project basis. The match requirement may be met in several ways: • 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 o State appropriations o HFA reserves that are not federal funds (e.g. bond proceeds) o The interest rate subsidy achieved by the exemption of state or local taxes o Present value of the interest subsidy for loans made at rates below market • Value of waived taxes, fees or charges associated with the project; • Value of donated land or real property; • Cost of infrastructure improvements associated with the project; • A percentage of the proceeds of single or multi-family housing bonds issued by state or local government; • Value of donated materials, equipment, labor and professional services; • Sweat equity; • Direct costs of supportive services to residents of the project; • Direct cost of homebuyer counseling to families purchasing homes with HOME assistance. 57 9. Market Assessment Requirement All Homebuyer and Rental housing development projects (includes acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, down payment assistance) awarded HOME funds will be required to have a Market Assessment. It must be completed by the applicant (or consultant hired by the applicant) and submitted at the time of application for funding or before the commitment of funds. Block Grant Program staff will review the Market Assessment to determine: • If a need for the type and number of housing units has been convincingly demonstrated; • If the developer/program will be able to sell the planned homebuyer units prior to the six-month deadline; • If the developer/program will be able to lease-up the planned rental units as expected, e.g. within the timeframe specified in the project pro-forma; • If the development will adversely impact existing affordable housing developments. 10.Site and Neighborhood Standards HOME funded rental projects that are newly constructed are subject to a site and neighborhood standards [24 CFR 92.202(b)] review by the Block Grant Program to determine that: 1. Site is adequate for proposed purpose 2. Project and location furthers compliance with fair housing laws 3. Site is not in an area of minority concentration — if the site is in an area of minority concentration, the Block Grant Program will determine that one or more of the following is true: a. The project will not increase significantly the proportion of minorities b. Sufficient comparable housing opportunities exist outside the area for minorities based on analysis of HUD-assisted housing c. Proposed project is necessary to meet overriding housing need that cannot otherwise be met d. Proposed project is integral to a neighborhood preservation strategy or integral to revitalization area strategy. 4. Project promotes greater choice of housing opportunities and avoids undue concentration of assisted persons 5. Proposed site is not seriously detrimental to family life 6. Proposed site is comparably accessible to broad range of services and facilities 7. Travel and access to jobs from proposed site is not excessive. Lona Term Affordability 58 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 I 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 requirements 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 Homebuver Proiects 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 59 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. The property must be sold at a price that is "affordable to a reasonable range of low-income buyers." The sales price shall be set such that the amount of Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance does not exceed 30% of the new buyer's annual income. The Kitsap County Block Grant Program must approve the resale price. 4. The owner shall receive a fair return on their investment. Fair Return on Investment means the total homeowner investment which includes the total cash contribution (excluding standard maintenance) plus the approved capital improvements as described below: a. The cost of any capital improvements, documented with receipts provided by the homeowner, including but not limited to: i. Any additions to the home such as a bedroom, bathroom, or garage; ii. Replacement of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems; iii. Accessibility improvements such as bathroom modifications for disabled or elderly, installation of wheel chair ramps and grab bars, any and all of which must have been paid for directly by the Owner and which were not installed through a federal, state, or locally-funded grant program; and iv. Outdoor improvements such as a new driveway, walkway, retaining wall, or fence. b. Al! capital improvements will be visually inspected t verify their existence. 5. The Housing Price Index (HPI) of the Federal Housing Finance Agency will be used as the index to determine fair return on investment. The percentage of change as calculated by the HPI projects what a house purchased at a point in time would be worth today if it appreciated (or depreciated) at the average rate for all homes in the areas. The calculation shall be performed for the Bremerton-Silverdale Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). 6. Calculating Fair Return on Investment: Calculating the Fair Return to the original homeowner would be as follows: Step 1: Owner cash contribution at closing + capital improvements x HPI% change= fair return on initial & capital investments so Step 2: The results are then added to the owner's cash contribution + capital improvements to get the total return to the original homebuyer at sale. Recapture for Homebuver Proiects 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 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. HOME Housing Homeownership Requirements The HOME program requires that for all HOME assisted homeownership projects: 1. All of the HOME funds will benefit families whose incomes are at or below 80% of the area median income. 2. The assisted housing will be the owner's principal residence. 3. 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. The 2013 HOME Final Rule 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii) is amended to eliminate the use of the 203(b) limit and to change the methods for determining 95% of area median purchase price. HUD will determine and issue limits that represent 95% of the area median purchase price separately for newly 61 constructed and existing single family housing units. Kitsap County Block Grant Program will use the HUD-issued limits. 4. All homebuyers that receive HOME assistance or purchase a unit developed with HOME funds must receive housing counseling. The Block Grant staff will review the housing counseling policies of subrecipients and owner/sponsor developers of homeowner housing to determine compliance with this requirement. 5. A subsequent low-income purchaser of a HOME-assisted homeownership unit may assume the existing HOME loan and recapture obligation entered into by the original buyer when no additional HOME assistance is provided to the subsequent homebuyer. 6. Subrecipients administrating homebuyer assistance programs must have and follow written policies for: a. Underwriting: Underwriting standards for homeownership assistance � must address housing debt, overall household debt, the appropriateness of the amount of assistance, recurring household expenses, assets available to acquire the housing, monthly expenses of the household and financial resources available to the household to sustain homeownership. b. Predatory lending: (HUD will issue guidance on preventing predatory lending) c. Refinancing: The refinancing policy must address refinancing loans to which HOME loans are subordinated to ensure that the terms of the new loan are reasonable. 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 5 years existing housing per unit amount of HOME funds: Under $15,000 Between $15,000 to $40,000 10 years Over$40,000 or rehabilitation 15 years involving refinancing s2 New Construction or acquisition of 20 years newly constructed housing At least 20% of HOME assisted rental units must be occupied by families who have annual incomes that are 50% or less of AMI. Properties with 5 units or less are exempt from this rule. Additionally the Block Grant Program must ensure that 90% of the total households served under all County/City funded HOME rental programs have incomes that do not exceed 60% of the AMI. The remaining households must not exceed 80% of AMI. Minoritv 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 Fair Housinq Marketinq Plan All Home-funded programs, including downpayment assistance programs, must follow an affirmative marketing plan. The specific affirmative marketing procedures to be used will depend on the type and size of the program or project. The Kitsap County-City of Bremerton HOME Consortium has an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan that clearly state what actions owners/managers must take to provide information to, and otherwise attract, eligible persons in the housing market who are unlikely to apply without special outreach. The extent of the affirmative marketing activities typically varies depending on the size of the property. Kitsap County-City of Bremerton HOME Consortium staff will evaluate the success of the affirmative marketing actions every year for each project. Owners and managers are required to retain certain records so staff can evaluate its results. Affirmative Marketing will be reviewed during annual on-site monitoring. 63 Property and Construction Issues A. Compliance with Codes and Standards For all projects, the Block Grant office is primarily responsible for�ensuring compliance with Federal requirements and meeting both project and program goals. This is the case no matter what cost is funded under the HOME Program. 1. Acquisition of existing housing (no rehab. or construction)24 CFR 92.251(c) Housing acquired with HOME funds must be inspected for health and safety at the time of title transfer. Block Grant staff will conduct an inspection using established standards. Any deficiencies will be noted and a date for correction and re-inspection will be communicated to the owner. HOME funds will not be disbursed for the acquisition until the project passes the inspection. 2. Rehabilitation of housing 24 CFR 92.251(b) For any HOME-funded rehabilitation work, the housing must meet the Kitsap County/City of Bremerton Housing Rehabilitation Standards and County or applicable City Building Code. The Rehabilitation Standards address the following: • Health 8� Safety—the rehab. standards specify the life threatening deficiencies that must be addressed immediately if a housing unit is occupied. • Remaining Useful life of major Systems —An estimate of the remaining useful life of major system must be completed. Major systems include structural support, roofing, exterior cladding, , weatherproofing (e.g., windows, doors, siding, gutters), plumbing electrical and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. o Major systems for rental housing -This must be done with a capital needs assessment for projects with 26 or more units. If the remaining useful life is less than the affordability period, the Block Grant Program will require replacement reserve deposits to ensure that the projecYs major systems and physical needs can be adequately maintained and addressed throughout the affordability period. 64 o Major systems for homeownership housing — upon project completion, major systems must have a useful life of at least five years. • Lead based paint requirements, in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35. • Accessibility requirements, as applicable, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Fair Housing Act. • Disaster mitigation standards, in accordance with State and local requirements . • Rehabilitation work must comply with local codes, ordinances, and zoning requirements. • Uniform Physical Conditions Standards (UPCS 3. New construction of housing 24 CFR 92.251(a) � All new housing projects constructed with HOME funds must have project specific material and methods or "construction specifications" for the project. The specifications and design plans will be reviewed by Block Grant staff to ensure that the amenities and aesthetic features of the project are in keeping with modest housing of similar type in the community. Projects will be required to obtain the necessary development permits from the jurisdiction where the project is located and copies of the signed-off permit& certificate of occupancy will be required for final reimbursement of funds. All new construction work must meet the International Code Council's International Residential Code or International Building Code, whichever is applicable, and disaster mitigation standards in accordance with State and � local requirements. In addition projects must meet the applicable accessibility requirements in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act. Block grant staff will review and approve written cost estimates, construction contracts and construction documents. In addition, staff will conduct construction progress and final inspections to ensure that work is done in accordance with the applicable codes, the construction contract, and construction documents. 65 4. Newly Constructed or Recently Rehabilitated Housing 24 CFR 92.251(c)(1) Housing that has been newly constructed or rehabilitated within one year of the date of commitment of HOME funds must meet the applicable property standards [92.251(a)] for new construction and [92.251(b)] for rehabilitation. The Block Grant office will document compliance based on a review of approved building plans and certificates of occupancy and a property inspection that is conducted no earlier than 90 days before the commitment of HOME funds. 5. All Other Existing Housing— Rental For all other housing (housing not recently rehabilitated or newly constructed) that will be acquired (without rehabilitation) for rental housing, the property must meet the applicable standard for rehabilitation at 92.251(b). The Block Grant office will document compliance based upon a current inspection that is conducted no earlier than 90 days before the date of commitment of HOME assistance. If the property does not meet these standards, it cannot be acquired with HOME funds unless it is rehabilitated to meet this standard. 6. All Other Existing Housing — Homeownership (Downpayment) Assistance Block Grant staff will utilize Housing Quality Standards to ensure that existing housing acquired for homeownership is decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. Once HUD issues guidance on replacing HQS with the UPCS, staff will use the UPCS to perform inspections. 7. Manufactured Housing Property Standards [24 CFR 92.251(e)] Newly constructed manufactured housing and housing that replaces an existing substandard unit must be on a permanent foundation. For all rehabilitated manufactured housing, the foundation and anchoring must meet all applicable State and local codes and other requirements. All new construction of manufactured housing must meet the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards codified at 24 CFR part 3280. All new manufactured housing must, at the time of project completion, be connected to permanent utility hook-ups and be located on land that is owned (or leased for a period at least as Iong as the affordability period) by the manufactured housing unit owner. ss Existing manufactured housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds must meet the property standards applicable to rehabilitation, as outlined in 92.251(b). 8. On-going Property Standards for Rental Projects [24 CFR 92.251(fll Properties must be maintained to meet all applicable State and local codes. Housing will be inspected using UCPS as the standard (replaces HQS). Housing must be free of all health and safety defects and any life- threatening deficiencies identified during inspection must be corrected immediately. Housing must also meet the lead-based paint requirements in 24 CFR part 35. B. Lead Based Paint All housing funded with HOME and/or CDBG constructed before 1978 must comply with lead-based paint regulations at 24 CFR Part 35.

As you are aware, this is a vital program for the low-income residerits af our city as it resutts in a significant reduction in energy bills while at the same time provides our program the flexibility to make much needed minor home repairs. In 2Q16, the City of Bremerton CDBG funds restricted the weatherization services to the target area ident'�fied by City Counal. While Kitsap Community Resources made a concerted effort to identiFy potential homes within this target area, including sending out a targeted mailer in partnership with PSE, we concluded that the demand for services in this area is not what we antiapated.At the same time, our program turned down multiple r�equests for weatherization services from households outside the targe#area who we deemed were beyond the scope for other funding sources due to required repairs. Had the service area not been restricted, many of these households could have been served with minar hame repairs which would have then made the home eligible for other funding sources. We would therefore respectfully encourage the Bremerton City Council to expand the service area for Weatherization services to all quafifying residents across the city. We can assure you there continues to be a great need for weatherization and minor home repair senricss across the City of Bremerton and there are many low-income households who would experienoe an immediate benefit from the reduced energy bills and minor home repairs provided by this program. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

I support the funding priorities proposed by City Council, particularly the greater emphasis on "Capital Projects in Target Area to Revitalize Neighborhoods to Create Affordable Housing." While it is true that many of the City's largely single-family neighborhoods are in need of general overhaul,that must be primarily the responsibility of individual homeowners,whether they be live-in or landlords. The increasing role that housing plays in revitalizing downtowns and urban areas in our country is a national trend—and perfectly applicable here in Bremerton. We have heard ourselves say many times over the past ten to twenty years "we need more people living downtown" and it is true—a stable housing base then creates the need for appropriate commercial business that mesh with a resident population. This model, not he regional commercial shopping center, is where we want to steer Bremerton. Additionally,the focus on affordable housing is absolutely appropriate for both public funds and the Bremerton's position in both the regional and West Sound economies. This priority furthers the work you began last year with an allocation for 4`h Street revitalization of chronically empty buildings, now underway, into new apartments. Thank you, Steve (Writing as a downtown commercial business and property owner,West Bremerton City resident and homeowner,and a member of the ad-hoc 4`h Street Action Group. Steven M.
