Introduction The City of Bremerton Washington is an entitlement community and is a member of the Kitsap County HOME Consortium where Kitsap County is the lead entity for the Consolidated Plan. The City of Bremerton receives their own CDBG funds and prepares their own non -housing Consolidated Plan and their own Action Plan. The City of Bremerton Community Development Block Grant Program is a component of the Department of Community Development and is responsible for the administration of City CDBG funds. HOME funds are administered by Kitsap County. The City of Bremerton City Council holds public hearings and provides important policy direction. The Consolidated Plan follows requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and uses HUD 's format and data tables required for plans adopted after November 15, 2012. The purpose of this 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 input, the City of Bremerton has developed a Strategic Plan, The Strategic Plan outlines the priorities and goals which guide the allocation of funds over the five-year period. The City will develop an Action Plan annually which will include projects awarded funds through an annual application process. These projects will address the priorities and goals over the 5-year period. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds will be used over the next five years to address the needs outlined in the Strategic Plan. HUD's objectives guiding the proposed activities are • Provide decent affordable housing; • Create suitable living environments; and • Create economic opportunities. The following are the priorities and goals outlined in the Strategic Plan portion of this document. These will guide the investment of CDBG and HOME funds in the City of Bremerton. The City intends on utilizing its CDBG and HOME funds in the most efficient way possible to ensure projects/activities in the Community which can utilize the funds are able to do so. The strategic planning portion has kept the Consolidated Plan BREMERTON 5 OM8 Control No: 2606-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Exhibit A priorities relatively open but allows the City Council to target or open priorities as they see fit throughout the Policy Planning process. 3. Evaluation of past performance The City of Bremerton has continued to work collaboratively with Kitsap County to use CDBG and HOME funds in the most efficient way possible. During the last consolidated plan, the City made the difficult decision to target funds in a geographic location. While this was an ideal decision at the time in 2014 and 2015, throughout the Consolidated Plan timeframe it became apparent that restricting our funding in that way made it difficult to respond to market conditions especially surrounding affordable housing. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process Development of this plan is the result of evaluation of information and data from a variety of sources, including the preparation of a Community Needs Assessment and Housing Market Analysis, consultations with local municipalities and agencies, an online survey, community meetings and public hearings. The City in consultation with Kitsap County conducted a comprehensive affordable housing market analysis and inventory which helped drive significant portions of this plan. As a result of COVID- 19 the City began conducting virtual public hearings where comments were taken via zoom. All of the input received from the outreach conducted in 2019 and 2020 has been considered and incorporated into the priorities and goals for the plan. All public comments received during public comment periods will be addressed and included in the final Consolidated Plan before submission to HUD. 5. Summary of public comments The City did not receive public comments during any of the public hearings but did get feedback during the survey process. A summary of the comments received are listed below: • Need for more units of affordable housing • Need for more social service resources • Homeless resources • Improvements to empty buildings • Sidewalks, curb ramps and sidewalks 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and views were accepted 7. Summary Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Exhibit A The City of Bremerton's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan has been prepared to develop a viable community by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, expanded economic opportunities principally for low and moderate -income persons, and programs that will address homeless and near homeless persons, affordable housing opportunities, economic opportunities and infrastructure updates. An approved Citizen Participation plan was used to gather public comments through public meetings and the consultation process provided additional input. Information gathered from the public, a market analysis, housing study and data provided by HUD was used to identify goals and the activities of this Consolidated Plan.

Improved discharge planning and coordination has been identified as a high priority and work continues to develop respite beds for those who are homeless and discharged from systems of care. The City worked with Kitsap County to enhance coordination through implementation of the Coordinated Grant Process. This single online application platform, Fluid Review, is used for CDBG, HOME, Affordable Housing Grant Program (AHGP) funds and Homeless Housing Grant Program (HHGP) funds. Funding is prioritized through the Consolidated Plan for CDBG and HOME and Kitsap Homeless Housing Plan for AHGP and HHGP funds. Through this process duplication of funding is minimized and high priority projects are provided an opportunity to maximize local funding.

Current conditions in the local housing market, detailed in this section, are in large part, the result of deteriorating local economics and a gradual weakening of the residential qualities of the city's aging neighborhoods. The data, however, also portrays the opportunity to capitalize on Bremerton's well -established neighborhoods, the city's unique position in the greater Puget Sound economy, and lastly, to capitalize on regional and national housing trends. In 2019 the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County initiated a housing market inventory and analysis to better understand the housing needs in the City of Bremerton. Through an RFQ process ECO Northwest was hired to prepare the analysis and final report, which was released in 2020. Information about current and future housing needs from this report are included here. Bremerton's infill development toolkit has been seen as a best practice and a helpful guide for development Rent restricted affordable housing is scarce in Kitsap County and is concentrated in a few locations in the County. Bremerton has the most affordable housing and also has the most deeply affordable housing; about 66 percent of all units restricted below 30% MFI are located in Bremerton, likely due to the presence of the Bremerton Housing Authority and the presence of extremely low income households needing housing. The City of Bremerton has the most ethnically diverse population, more diverse than the Kitsap County Average at 12% of its residents. Kitsap County is expected to need an additional 25,147 total housing units over the next 17 years, or approximately 1,480 per year. As currently zoned, the majority of these housing units are expected to be single family -detached, similar to current development trends. Jurisdictions across Kitsap County will need to more than triple their annual rates of net housing production in the 2010-2014 time period (515 units per year) to reach the rate of production needed to accommodate these new housing units by ME Jurisdictions across the county have not been building enough housing to meet the needs of its residents. Over the 2010 to 2017 time period it only built 42 new housing units for every 100 new UJOTMOMM Consolidated Plan 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Exhibit A households formed. Over that timeframe, fewer than 3,800 housing units have been built and when accounting for demolition or obsolescence of units, the net new units is about 3,600. Kitsap is seeing strong job growth, in line with the strong national and regional economies. Amazon just built a distribution center in Bremerton. Due to this strong economic growth and spillover effects from the Seattle region, the City of Bremerton does appear to be gaining households at higher income levels (earning more than $80,000) since 2010. While many Bremerton residents are still below AMI and due to a high rental market, this makes the competition for rental housing units in the City very difficult for low-income renters. In the 2010-2017 time period, Kitsap also gained households at the lowest income levels, (earning under $20,000 per year). And as of 2013-2017, Kitsap County had a shortage of almost 5,800 units of rental housing affordable to its extremely low-income renter households (those earning less than 30 percent of the median family income or about $23,135 for a family of four). This lack of housing plus increased competition from higher -income households puts many renter households at risk of rent increases and displacement. Consolidated Plan BREMERTON 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) NA-50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities. The City has a world class parks system and works hard to enrich the lives of Bremerton citizens by providing an array of parks, open spaces, trails, recreation and enrichment opportunities that are responsive to citizen needs and build community through celebration and inclusion. The City historically has utilized CDBG for improvements to its parks system specifically focused on improvements to parks in our lower income communities, and improvements to ADA facilities in our parks system. The City, with the National Recreation and Park Association and the Trust for Public Land, and the Urban Walk Institute has adopted a 10-minute walk campaign. This campaign establishes the ambitious goal that everyone live within a 10-minute walk of a high -quality park or green space. The City has identified through a gap analysis areas which are not served within a half -mile walking distance. Conversion of City owned property to parks can help fill the need for neighborhood parks in the underserved residential areas of East Bremerton. The City also has a number of community centers and homeless facilities serving homeless and special needs populations and these facilities are also in need of improvements and repairs. How were these needs determined? The City has adopted a Parks and Open Space Plan, which provides a needs assessment and an action pIan for improvements to the City Parks system. Kitsap County has an adopted Homeless and Crisis Housing response plan which provides a current assessment of resources and an action plan which addresses needs, gaps, core strategies, and action areas. Both were consulted in preparation of this Consolidated Plan. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The vision for the City's public infrastructure improvements are focused on promoting, managing, and maintaining a safe, efficient and integrated multi -modal transportation system which is consistent with the City's overall vision and adequately serves anticipated growth. Guidance from City staff, the Planning Commission, stakeholders, and citizens helped identify several priorities: • Improve safety for all users through updated facilities and street designs that accommodate all modes; • Create an interconnected multimodal network that connects all users to City Centers and major destinations within Bremerton as well as Kitsap County; • Coordinate with local and regional partners to ensure that travel patterns do not disproportionately impact Bremerton's residents' quality of life; • Increase transportation spending on maintaining, preserving, and operating the existing transportation system. Consolidated Plan e�»► Txi-ri7►1 m OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) How were these needs determined? These needs were determined through the City's Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Improvement Plan, Consultation with the public, the City Council, public meetings and workshops, and consultation with the City's ADA committee. The City also must coordinate its transportation planning with a variety of jurisdictions, including Kitsap County, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), the State of Washington, the US Navy, Kitsap Transit, the Suquamish Tribe, along with the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council. The City Coordinated the transportation plan with the agencies and government bodies which have an interest or influence on transportation in Bremerton. These groups include: • Puget Sound Regional Council • Washington State Department of Transportation • Washington State Ferries • Kitsap County • Port of Bremerton • Kitsap Transit • Naval Base Kitsap • City of Bremerton ADA Representatives • Bremerton School District • West Sound Cycling Club. The City also routinely coordinates with the appropriate jurisdictions and agencies on planning and engineering projects. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: The City hosts a large number of public service organizations in Kitsap County. These organizations range from Meals on Wheels, to foodbanks, to Boys and Girls Club, YWCA, and Coffee Oasis job training programs. All of these organizations do much needed work in our community often on a shoestring budget. While the City would love to support all the agencies operating in our community, because there is only one staff member dedicated to work in the Community Development Block Grant Program it was determined that the City would not carry many public service contracts due to the reporting required for these contracts. During this Consolidated Planning process, the City Council, determined that the only public service activities that will be funded with CDBG funds will be job training programs. How were these needs determined? The City determined through a needs assessment and feedback from the community that economic empowerment, and improvement is much needed in our community. There are still a number of persons in our community who do not have the skills needed to have gainful employment, especially youth in our community. The City has worked in collaboration with Coffee Oasis in implementation of Consolidated Plan ul9tiri7►1 29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) their Hope Inc. program which provides critical skills and internship opportunities to homeless youth who are looking for employment in our community. Based on the needs analysis above, describe the State's needs in Colonias Not Applicable Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Housing Market Analysis MA-05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: he City of Bremerton has the largest inventory of aging housing in the County. In the City of Bremerton 77.3% of housing units were built before 1980 and 22% were built in 1939 or earlier. In the City of Bremerton rehabilitation of the aging housing stock is a high need. Over three-quarters of the housing units were built before 1980, nearly one -quarter before WWII. Many of these housing units are solidly built and are structurally sound but in need of energy efficiency improvements and upgrades to preserve them for the long therm. The older age of Bremerton's housing stock, with an associated increased cost for maintenance, has an impact on the conditions of housing particularly in comment deference of maintenance as homes approach obsolescence in today's market for homeowners. The City has historically carried a high rental to owner occupant rate approximately 60% of Bremerton residents rent to 42.5% buyers. Single family owner units are no longer available at relatively low prices and demand is high. The rental market is strong because of the transient nature of the community which creates an increased demand, especially for more modern or better kept buildings. Rents tend to increase even for poorer buildings, exacerbating the cost burden issue for low-income households. Landlords are often unable to make costly repairs to their rental units thereby creating unsafe and a lower quality of housing for some low- income households as well. Older homes may also present health hazards due to their potential to contain lead -based paint and/or asbestos, and knob and tube electrical wiring. Many of these older housing units require some degree of work to bring them to current, acceptable building standards. Aging housing is also important in regard to renter -occupied units. When renters occupy older housing, housing quality and occupant safety concerns become more of an issue because many of the owners may not have much of an incentive to invest time and money into maintenance and improvements. Thus, over time rental units begin to deteriorate and suffer from deferred maintenance. Geographic analysis shows that the concentration of older housing stock overlaps with a concentration of low to moderate income families. Areas which have a greater than 51% concentration of low and moderate income persons are located throughout the City but primarily in West Bremerton and some locations in East Bremerton. Housing units built before 1978, also concentrated primarily in these locations are more likely to contain lead -based paint and are more likely in need of major repair. Yet, these houses are occupied by families least likely to have the financial means to correct either potential lead hazards or to make all other needed repairs. The City's low/moderate Census Tracts are all in need of reinvestment through owner and rental housing rehabilitation.

(include a definition of "concentration") The City does not have a concentration of households with multiple housing problems geographically however the City does have a large number of renters who are living in rental units which have multiple housing problems. These households have housing problems such has substandard housing quarters, high rental costs, multiple family members per dwelling unit, or landlords unwilling to fix errors needed in the homes which can cause a hazard such as leaking roof, mold, or other scenarios. These households often reach out to Code Enforcement to look for assistance in requiring the landlord to make these repairs. The City does attempt in some situations to assist with its Weatherization and Minor Home Repair program, but this program does not work in every scenario. Concentration is only defined by the high percentage of renters at 60% and a subset of those renters, around 20% are those who are experiencing these housing problems. Another primary housing problem which affects City residents is housing cost burden. Concentration would be defined as a Block Group or Groups where multiple housing problems exist and are 10% above the overall number for the City. Almost all the block groups in the City where low-income households are experiencing severe cost burden and substandard housing units. This issue is fairly broadly distributed throughout the City and there is not one area where it is concentrated. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The City of Bremerton has an ethnically diverse community a large majority of these minorities are from Guatemala or Mexico. There is no real area concentration of these households however a large number Athese households are below the Federal poverty level. An area is considered to have a concentration of minority persons if the percentage of households in a at racial or ethnic minority group in a Block Group or Groups is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of that minority group for the MSA. There are no block groups with a racial or ethnic minority concentration. To determine if a concentration of low-income households exists, block groups that meet HUD's definition of Low -Mod area are used. Low -mod areas are block groups that are primarily residential where at least 51% of the residents are low -and moderate -income persons (have incomes below 80% of the Area Median Income). All but one Block Group in the City meet the Low -Mod definition. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OM8 Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018i The City of Bremerton, much like many other locations in the Greater Puget Sound has a strong housing market which increasing prices and demand. Areas with a concentration of low-income households within the City have "affordable housing" when compared to other areas in Kitsap County. These areas are attracting first-time homebuyers and renters looking or affordable options. However, more increasingly there is low supply and significant competition for these units. The City has attracted investors who are looking to purchase homes for a smaller cost, renovate them, and sell them for a higher cost. This makes competition difficult for first time homebuyers, or programs such as Community Frameworks who are looking to do the same thing but sell the home to an income qualified home buyer. The City does have some areas with blight, but the instance of finding large areas or specific neighborhoods with blighted conditions is low. There are some abandoned or derelict properties which the City could address with CDBG funds on a 'spot' basis to improve neighborhoods. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The City, as an older City has many community assets in these low-income neighborhoods. The City's park system which has many wonderful amenities available to its residents, as well as access to the waterfront, improved sidewalks and curbramps, access to services and transit, a great school district, and many community partners who know the community and its needs well. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? Housing affordability is a significant difficulty for minorities in our community. Housing prices in the area have spiked while incomes remain about the same, leading to many families opting to share tightened spaces in houses and apartments rather than allow their neighbors to become homeless. Opportunities for more housing assistance, partnerships with immigrant assistance organizations, and participation in planning and community groups. Additionally, the City's Low -Mod areas will benefit from investment of CDBG Capital funds for both public facilities and infrastructure projects. Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate -Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2) Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate -income households and neighborhoods. FCC maps of Washington State for 2017 indicate that 100% of the population have access to broadband services at or above 25 Megabits per second (Mbps), although this does not match up with the actual experiences of many residents. A substantial number of Washingtonians experience speeds below the federal and state broadband standard of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. Broadband wiring and connections exist in all areas of the City of Bremerton. Low-income households living in multi -family rental housing have access, but affordability may be a barrier. The monthly subscription cost for connection to broadband may go beyond what some low-income households can afford. Low-income households living in single-family housing will most likely have access if located in an urban area or rural area or existing homes with service. Low-income households living in single family homes in some rural areas have very limited to now broadband connection. The number of people with no broadband connection is unknown. Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. When measuring the digital divide in Washington, the affordability and availability of public broadband must be taken into account. With this in mind, there are a total of 242 providers in the state. Although this is the case, there are 338,000 people in the state without access to a wired connection capable of 25 Mbps download speeds. It should also be noted that there are 529,000 people who currently only have access to one provider, making it impossible for them to switch. Another 103,000 people in Washington have no wired internet provider at all where they live. There are several providers of broadband in Kitsap County. All urban areas have several choices of service providers with Comcast, Century Link, Wave, Xfinity, Viasat, and HughesNet being the most common providers. When it comes to broadband speeds, 94.6% of Washingtonians have access to wired broadband 25 Mbps or faster, while 92.8% have access to broadband 100 Mbps or faster. On the other hand, only 25.8% of Washingtonians have access to 1-gigabit broadband. The government of Washington is working to improve its broadband infrastructure. The Community Economic Revitalization Board has been actively trying to improve local economic development in communities. Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The Washington State Broadband Project has been awarded over $7 million in federal grants since the year 2011 for the Washington State Initiative. An additional $166 million was awarded to broadband initiatives to further connections throughout the state. Consolidated Plan BREMERTON m OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3) Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. The City of Bremerton, as a component of Kitsap County has an adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan that was prepared by Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management and last updated in 2012. This plan identifies winter storms, flooding, and earthquakes as the most common hazards historically. Flooding is the most common hazard occurring in the City of Bremerton. Heavy, prolonged rain the fall, winter, or spring months often results in saturated ground and high stream flows. Due to ground saturation, some City of Bremerton businesses and homes located in low-lying areas, particularly around Dyes and Sinclair inlets could flood during prolonged periods of rain. Wind -driven tidal flooding is also possible along inland waters. Flooding does occurto some extent in particular areas of the City annually, especially in floodplain zones of streams. Evergreen Rotary Park is occasionally faced with flooding both due to rising waters but additional due to poor storm water drainage. Beaches, particularly along the shoreline are often affected by flood tides compounded by heavy rainfall and high tides. More than any other natural hazard, flooding represents the single biggest repetitive event that has a damaging affect to City property and resources. The City does have a few urban streams which are subject to flooding annually due to drainage system overload during large or intense storm events. The City is also home to the Gorst Watershed and Casad dam which Casad Dam is located approximately 10 miles from downtown Bremerton in a protected watershed. The dam is a concrete arch structure completed in 1957. It is owned and operated by the City of Bremerton to impound the Union River for the city's drinking water supply. Downstream of Casad Dam is McKenna Falls, which provides a natural barrier to migratory fish. The city provides an environmental benefit by protecting water quality and ensuring downstream fish flows. When full, the Union River Reservoir holds over a billion gallons of water and supplies about 60% of the city's drinking water during years with normal precipitation. Casad Dam is one of Bremerton's most remarkable and valuable investments. Storms have caused major damage to portions of the City in the past particularly when accompanied by high winds. The main effects of local storms include disruption of electrical power, accidents and transportation problems, flooding and landslides and damage to buildings. Climate change could negatively affect the City if it causes more frequent and severe storms and if there is a rise in sea level. Fires, on a minimal scale have also adversely affected the City with residents restricted from going outside and participating in activities due to poor air quality. Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate -income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) While the City does not have locations of the City with high concentrations of low/moderate income housing, and the majority of affordable housing is not located along the shoreline so the risk of storm surge is low. However, the City is home to PSNS which houses a large number of workers and contains barracks for housing which is located right on the water. Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview The City of Bremerton's Five -Year Strategic Plan outlines the ways Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will be used to address community needs in the City. The City's information regarding the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds will be detailed in the Kitsap County Consortium Plan as Kitsap County Serves as the Participating Jurisdiction and thus is responsible for implementation of HOME funds. Because CDBG funds are very limited, the City has made a concerted effort to target the funds to specific priorities as necessary but makes sure to not target in a way to make it difficult to expend funds in a timely manner. This plan includes objectives and proposed accomplishments and outcomes. The projects funded each year, and included in the Action Plan, must address the priorities of the Strategic Plan. The outcomes are based on the funding we estimate to be available for the five-year period. Funding for HUD is determined by Congress annually and the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds are based on a formula. If funding changes during the five-year period Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton may amend the output goals accordingly. The overall goal of the CDBG and HOME programs are to provide decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities. Evaluation and analysis of the needs in our community have resulted in a decision to focus on several areas: Affordable Housing -Housing supply and affordability continues to be a major problem county -wide. New construction of rental units for low-income households, especially supportive housing for special needs populations is needed. Preservation of existing income -restricted rental units is also a high priority. Homebuyer assistance is also needed to enable low/moderate income households, to step into homeownership, but will not be considered a high priority for City of Bremerton funding. New construction of homeownership housing will also not be a high priority for the City at this time, but still remains eligible. The City anticipates feeling the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for a long period of time. The City has many small business owners, and persons without gainful employment who we anticipate will struggle for a time after the pandemic is over. The City will set -aside 15% of the annual CDBG allocation for public service programs for job training and activities which will assist in the economic recovery effort. Public Facilities and Infrastructure -The City of Bremerton will fund community development needs such as parks, transportation facilities, infrastructure projects and public facilities. The City will place a higher priority on public facilities and infrastructure projects linked to affordable housing, provision of high priority public services, or projects located in HUD designated Low -Mod Areas. Consolidated Plan 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Economic Development -Expanding economic opportunities for lower income residents is a high priority, particularly for any economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reducing homelessness is a high priority for the City. Projects addressing homelessness are eligible for funding from local Housing and Homeless Grant Program and Affordable Housing Grant Program funds among other State and Federal funds. CDBG funds are limited and therefore prioritized for other housing and community development needs of low-income households and communities. High priority housing and public facilities projects serving homeless populations may be considered for CDBG funding if the project addresses strategies outlined in the Kitsap Homeless Crisis Response and Housing Plan- 2019 Update and the project is a high priority for the County. Consolidated Plan 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) SP40 Geographic Priorities - 91.415, 91.215(a)(1) Geographic Area Table 12 -Geographic Priority Areas General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the state The City will not be targeting its fund in a geographic area in this Consolidated Plan cycle. When carrying out LMA projects, the City will ensure that the service area is within a Low/Mod area. The City will anticipate receiving 39% of Kitsap County HOME funds to carry out projects within the City limits.

There is a wide variety of non-profit and government agencies working together to address our community's needs. The City is a participating agency in the Continuum of Care Coalition (Housing and Homelessness Coalition) with over 40 participating organizations. These organizations include government, and non-profit sectors, foundations and the faith -based community. Kitsap County has fully implemented HMIS and conducts an annual Point in Time Count. The Homeless Housing Plan was updated in 2019 and work is underway with community partners to implement action steps detailed in the plan. Kitsap County also implemented the 1/10th of 1%tax for mental and behavioral health. This funding is allocated through an annual grant process to government and non-profit organizations implementing programs serving individuals and families impacted by mental and behavioral health issues. Through an online coordinated application process each year the City's HOME funds along with Homeless Housing Grant Funds and Affordable Housing Grant funds are awarded. The City conducts its own process for CDBG funds. The City of Bremerton, like many other locations in the Country are experiencing an affordable housing crisis. There is a significant and growing need for development of new affordable housing units. The City is experiencing many constraints including: Consolidated Plan BREMERTON 59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) • Limited number of organizations, including CHDO's with the capacity to successfully develop new units at scale in the City; • Insufficient amount of low-cost capital to build rent -restricted housing; • Availability of land and restrictive regulations which puts pressure on development costs; • Rising construction material and labor costs; and • Market feasibility -for development to occur, rents and prices need to be high enough to offset the costs of land, construction and development. Availability of services targeted to homeless persons and persons with HIV and mainstream services Homelessness Prevention Services Available in the Community Targeted to Homeless Targeted to People with HIV Homelessness Prevention Services Counseling/Advocacy X Legal Assistance X Mortgage Assistance X Rental Assistance X Utilities Assistance X Street Outreach Services Law Enforcement X Mobile Clinics X Other Street Outreach Services X Supportive Services Alcohol & Drug Abuse X Child Care X Education X Employment and Employment Training X Healthcare X HIV/AIDS X Life Skills X Mental Health Counseling X Transportation X Other Table 16 -Homeless Prevention Services Summary Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OMB Control No: 2606-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The City of Bremerton, as the largest City in Kitsap County has the largest number of service providers. The City's service providers participate in Kitsap Connect which had the goal of helping severely vulnerable residents reduce their reliance on costly emergency services which saves money, public resources and ultimately people's lives. Throughout the years of participating in Kitsap Connect clients have taken fewer trips to the emergency room and spent less time in the hospital. There has also been a marked reduction in arrests and nights in jail. People are better connected with primary medical care, mental health services and treatment programs. Many of those once sleeping in shelter or on the streets have found a place and remain in stable housing. Kitsap Community Resources through the Housing Solutions Center has navigators who work directly with clients who are needing assistance in navigating the systems of resources in the community. These navigators can provide a one stop 'shop'for people needing assistance, so they do not have to go to many different locations to get assistance. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above The strength of the Kitsap homeless crisis response system is both from the experienced service providers and in the leadership from elected officials and social service providers throughout the Kitsap Housing and Homelessness Coalition. Kitsap's coordinated entry system, the Housing Solutions Center, is recognized as one of the best programs of its kind in the state. Other strengths include accurate data collection through the Kitsap Homeless Management Information System and data sharing between organizations, with periodic analysis and reports being generated. Despite great improvements in provision of housing and services to people experiencing homelessness, and improved capacity over the last 10 years, specific barriers and gaps to our community's capacity to assist all people who are experiencing homelessness to be identified. These barriers and gaps are the underlying causes of Kitsap's inability to meet the needs of all homeless residents at this time. They include: • Insufficient funding • Increased demand • Limited capacity -both in housing stock and services, and in providers' ability to expand service provision. The following needs and gaps in homeless housing and resources have been identified: • Create additional units of emergency shelter for single men, men with children, couples and large families; Consolidated Plan BREMERTON 61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) • Implement discharge planning and increase housing and services for homeless individuals entering the community from jails, correctional facilities, foster care, hospitals, and mental institutions, and who are chronically unsheltered; • Encourage development of more affordable housing; • Add low -barrier shelter and supportive housing units; • Low barrier shelter beds (for chronically unsheltered individuals); • Additional units of Permanent Supportive Housing; • Coordination of case management both between homeless providers and among other systems of care; • Cross -sector leadership; • Citizen outreach and communication. The 2019 Kitsap Homeless Crisis Response and Housing Plan includes additional detail about the needs and gaps in the current homeless response system. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs The 2019 Kitsap Homeless Crisis Response and Housing Plan includes a strategic plan, comprising five goals with supporting strategies and action steps. Indicators of success are included for each goal. The overall goal of the Plan is to worl<together as a community to make homelessness a rare, brief, and one-time occurrence in Kitsap County through an efficient and effective homeless response system. 1) Make homelessness rare (prevention strategies) 2) Make homelessness brief (Crisis response strategies) 3) Make homelessness one-time (ensure long-term housing stability strategies) 4) Continuously improve the homeless response system (increase capacity and efficiency strategies) 5) Expand community engagement (leadership, planning and communication strategies) Consolidated Plan 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) �r f0 Ln e-i N O 'r+ m Ln Vi O L L (A m m E O E Ln N m a O O a ai o m � c S c c S m c S a)S c .a — +� en ao nn fa }, (U Le, bjO a U C ++ C L10 O N N en � a 4- M =s to > N N Q) E tcn: O a Q E O SO O SO Ln O SO u o -a a U -a -aa O O O a) N O c Ln i O L O i(n aLA N aj t O mc c a c a 3° w c aN' (U — U. o � O U' m O ns O a) O O u O O y O S c= E m S (U E= a= ai Ln a) 0N O a1 Ln O O O Ln O to CO � 0 m U O C LO O N Li. t/} 'a Q O � O Q = U s a m M 0 Q 0 ar C'J a Lo (U Lw tin u � c L 'y o =3 O Q s L Ln ui W 0)N iw O L L r"f LO f6 N al ON L% } (7 V) M bA a, a1 c v c a Z O S � a O t0 a) cu a L Q 0 a) o d t N O O F b to v v v 'N v N 4� =3 ° L _C c N U ° U ° MimiMO OU C _ _ .� Q) mammau N C N -O c6 ,,0 f0 t3 O 4J 4; i GammaN i C +O Mamas QU O +� N can Q N O s— Q N— N O L N N p v E N N s L (mooUl O0 ice+ Mamatw C°C7 N O N3 Ln L 00 O N4mJ amN M� Oam mma nO U\C —� N .

The purpose of the regulation is to identify and address lead -based paint hazards before children are exposed to lead. All housing projects are required to complete the Lead Safe Housing Requirements Screening Worksheet. The worksheet is used to determine if the project is Exempt or if additional follow-up is required. The City of Bremerton has specific policies and procedures in place for lead disclosurelead evaluation, and assessment and lead safe work practices ,. The potential for lead is also evaluated during the environmental review of projects funded with CDBG, including non -housing projects. Projects where lead is suspected are required to have a risk assessment performed and a written report with recommendations for action completed. For the 2020 and 2021 Program Year the City has allocated funds to conduct full scale lead hazard abatement on the County's own Domestic Violence shelter. This was after the City contracted with Stantec to conduct a hazardous materials survey to disclose all lead paint hazards on the property. The City also funds weatherization and minor home repair program and within the uses of these funds there is an incentive to assess lead -based paint hazard risks and abate as needed. Anyone who moves into a home rehabbed by Community Frameworks, or who is certified for a Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance is provided with the lead hazard information pamphlet prescribed by HUD. Properties housing tenants assisted by the Housing Choice Voucher program, and Shelter Plus Care units are inspected annually, and the inspection checklist includes a visual assessment for signs of lead - based paint. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City of Bremerton has policies and procedures that follow Lead Safe Housing Rules. All housing funded with CDBG and HOME funds must follow these requirements. Kitsap Community Resource's Weatherization and Minor Home Repair program are trained in lead safe work practices. KCR has certified lead inspector/risk assessors and they test all pre 1978 homes with an XRF lead machine. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) SP-70 RntFPoverty Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families Although the City doesn't have a specific and stated anti -poverty strategy for reducing the number of poverty -level families, the City through its various departments, the Mayor's office, the City Council and the newly formed Race and Equity Advisory Committee, the faith -based community, local business and other governmental entities work together to address poverty in the community. The City's Race and Equity Advisory Committee was formed to provide advice and counsel to the City Council on matters identifying programmatic, community, and legislative options; and to seek suggestions on how to ensure that the City of Bremerton is an open and welcoming community for all. Throughout the City there are several programs which serve low-income individuals and families. Some programs are targeted to specific populations such as the elderly, disabled, veterans, homeless, etc. In addition to these programs, services and initiatives the City has a number of programs aimed at helping students finish high school and engage in post -secondary education through Olympic College or through workplace apprentice programs. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan The City will continue to use its funds to improve the local community. Through increasing affordable housing, or employment training programs, or infrastructure development and programs which create jobs. CDBG will also be used for high priority facility and infrastructure needs for low-income households and neighborhoods. The City's HOME funding will be used to create and preserve affordable housing to promote housing stability so families can work towards improving their incomes and escape poverty. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) SP-80 Monitoring - 9L230 Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements Monitoring eligibility, performance, compliance, regulations and accomplishments, as well as tracking financial data are the primary responsibilities of the lead agency, the City of Bremerton Community Development Block Grant Program. The County is the lead agency for the implementation of the City's HOME funds. The City has established clear policies and procedures governing the oversight and monitoring of all organizations that receive funds. Each organization must sign a written agreement with the City which outlines roles and obligations of the City and contract agency and lays out the framework for the monitoring requirements. All contracts contain timelines and a scope of work to promote timeliness of expenditures and compliance with specific goals and requirements. The CDBG administrator is responsible for clearly conveying the requirements described in the agreement to the contract agency. Throughout the year, organizations are responsible for submitting quarterly performance reports, and each request for reimbursement must be accompanied by appropriate back-up documentation. Questions of capacity and expertise are reviewed through this process, and supported where necessary by technical assistance, resource referral, or guidance. Information collected throughout the year is used to provide direction for on -site monitoring at least once a year. Quarterly reports are used to determine funding eligibility and timeliness of expenditures. During the program year, each organization with an open contract will undergo a full, on site audit of project and program records related to grant performance and fiscal accountability by the City of Bremerton Community Block Grant Administrator. The purpose of the review is to assess performance against the agreement, and to verify all federal, state, and local regulations are satisfied. Where required, monitoring for capital projects in a period of affordability is also performed on site. Housing Inspections are performed consistent with HUD requirements by qualified inspectors and reviewed or completed by the Block Grant Administrator. Each on -site monitoring follows specific timeline for completing tasks, are written to each contract organization. Organizations are monitored in a timely manner for compliance with these written requests and given assistance or guidance where necessary.

All projects selected address the priorities and goals prepared by the City of Bremerton in order to implement the City's Federal program funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Consolidated Plan period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025. This Action Plan is the first year under the new 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and will be submitted as part of the Consolidated Plan, The City of Bremerton is designated as an entitlement community and receives its own allocation of CDBG funds. The City is a member of the Kitsap County HOME Consortium and works in partnership with the Kitsap County Consortium to administer HOME funds. The City of Bremerton receives its share of HOME funds based on a percentage of allocation determined by HUD. The Strategic Plan is a component of the Consolidated Plan. # Project Name Table 20 — Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs In 2020 funds were allocated for the 2021 program year according to the priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Within these priorities Capital funds were awarded to organizations which provide public facility upgrades for special needs populations, and critical home repairs serving low-income households, elderly, families with children and disabled, job training public service funds were provided to job training programs for homeless youth, and economic development funds were provided to microenterprise programs to help low/moderate income business owners start or sustain their small businesses.

This is the first year of a new Consolidated Plan where the City will not target funds in a geographic location. All of the City's allocation of CDBG funds will be directed to projects which serve low-income populations across the City. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Table 21- Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City through its last Consolidated Plan distributed funds geographically. This Consolidated Plan it was determined to not target funds geographically and to fund activities and programs which provide a benefit and serve households throughout the City who are low/moderate. Discussion N/A Consolidated Plan 77 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP485 Other Actions - 9 AM.. 91.220(k) Introduction The City recognizes the need for affordable housing but are lacking agencies which have the capacity to successfully develop new units in the City. The City is exploring options for other ways to support affordable housing such as supporting the use of ADU's, or assistance with site development. There is a challenge for agencies to obtain financing for the construction of new units and need to be adept at applying for funding from multiple sources. The hope is that agencies looking to support affordable housing come forward for funding in the future. The City also has great departments within the City who are doing good work to benefit the community specifically targeting ADA upgrades and agencies in the City are also doing work improving the lives of our low/moderate income residents as well as special needs populations. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City has the highest number of non-profit organizations operating in the City compared to Kitsap County. There is a need for affordable housing, and improvement to our old housing stock it is important for the City to continue to address repairs in this housing stock to allow households to live in safe and sanitary housing an additional benefit is to allow seniors to age in place and not place stress on the healthcare system. The Bremerton Housing Authority provides much needed rental assistance to low income renters in the City, however it has become apparent that there is a difficulty in recruiting new landlords to participate in the program. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City continues to make affordable housing a priority for CDBG funds but given the inability to utilize CDBG for new construction and the small amount of our entitlement amount it is difficult to utilize CDBG funds for housing. Agencies and departments with public facility needs and public infrastructure needs compete well in our competitive grant application. The City does not often receive applications for agencies develop housing but does from organizations working to preserve affordable housing and the City will continue to support programs that foster and maintain affordable housing even when it is not new development. The Kitsap Homeless Housing Plan, which includes the City contains strategies to address housing barriers experienced by people experiencing homelessness. The City also has the Housing Solutions Center to provide people experiencing housing problems a single point of contact for information and referral. Through the projects funded, the City will continue to foster and maintain affordable housing throughout the County. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards Any housing units which are assisted with CDBG funding is evaluated for a potential lead hazard. The Consolidated Plan BREMERTON OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) City has invested funding in improvements of the YWCA shelter and included in that work is lead hazard abatement required by CDBG funds. Any programs which provide rehabilitation or weatherization services have staff trained in lead hazard evaluation and lead safe work practices. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City will continue to target all CDBG funds to projects and activities which serve the lowest income households and will continue to award funds for public service job training programs. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City has awell-developed institutional structure to provide service delivery and provide funding for capital projects. The City has looked for ways to collaborate with Kitsap County in order to improve its processes for grant application especially considering many of the agencies applying for funding operate in both the City and Kitsap County. The City also, since there is only one staff member administering the CDBG program always is looking for ways to improve and streamline its processes for grant management and efficient contracting with its partners in the community. There is a coordinated application process for HOME funds along with Homeless Housing Grant funds and Affordable Housing Grant funds are awarded. The City also utilizes the same platform for this coordinated application process for these funds and require all applicants who are applying for multiple grant sources to only fill out one organizational information application. These funding sources are administered by the City and staff is housed in the Department of Community Development. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies There are a number of housing and social service agencies who are active in the Kitsap Housing and Homeless Coalition. These organizations meet monthly to share information and coordinate efforts to serve the most vulnerable populations. The City has on -going conversations with the County Block Grant Program, Housing and Homeless Program, and housing agencies and developers to coordinate our efforts and understand the challenges associated with housing and understand what plans they have for developing new projects.
