The major sections of the Consolidated Plan include a Housing Market Analysis, Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment, 5-year Strategic Plan, a 1-year Action Plan, and Consultation and Citizen Participation, with accompanying documentation relating to public comment. The Strategic Plan addresses specific needs that were identified in the data analysis, with specific goals and program targets for each category designated for funding. The Action Plan is a subset of the Strategic Plan, addressing funding options for the next fiscal year. The Consolidated Plan can be used by organizations in the community as a guide for identifying activities through which they can help the jurisdiction reach their housing and community development goals. The Consolidated Plan also serves as the baseline for measuring program effectiveness, as reported in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) required by HUD for each fiscal year's funding allocation. Incorporated into the Consolidated Plan are an analysis of the local housing market and a review of housing and homeless needs in Lubbock as a means of defining the current environment in which federal funding is being used. The Consolidated Plan provides a strategic plan for meeting priority needs that were identified through the community participation process. The analytical parts of the document draw from the 2005-2009 and the 2008-2012 American Community Surveys and 2005 CHAS data provided by HUD. Other data sources include the 2010 U.S. Census and other information gathered locally, including the Lubbock Continuum of Care and a survey of citizens that was used to assist in prioritizing needs. The survey was available on the City's website and was distributed at community meetings. Public housing information was provided by the Lubbock Housing Authority. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview This Consolidated Plan contains a range of goals, objectives, and outcomes formulated to address needs identified for homelessness, other special needs, affordable housing, non -housing community Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) development, barriers to affordable housing, lead -based paint hazards, institutional structure, and coordination. These objectives include: • Continue to collaborate with homeless providers to supply a continuum of services. • Support services aimed at the prevention and elimination of homelessness and Rapid Re- housing. • Improve the condition of housing for low-income homeowners. • Increase the viability of potential homeownership opportunities. • Improve the condition of housing for low-income renters and home owners through regulatory programs. • Support improvement of infrastructure and public facilities in CDBG targeted areas in Lubbock. • Expand business opportunities by supporting economic development projects through Section 108 Program funding. • Address community needs through community -based public service programs. These goals are supported by a collection of associated objectives and performance goals. These objectives seek to work toward meeting the goals stated, addressing the need for more affordable housing, housing rehabilitation, public facilities and infrastructure improvements, and social services. Specifics can be found in the Strategic Plan and Annual Action Plan. 3. Evaluation of past performance The City of Lubbock has a long history of successful programs funded through the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program. Of particular importance to the health of the city have been programs that address the condition of the housing stock. The City has successfully funded housing rehabilitation activities targeting lower income and elderly households unable to properly maintain their homes. The City also operates a successful program that provided downpayment and mortgage assistance to new homebuyers. The City has worked actively with local homeless services providers to expand both the stock of units/beds available to homeless persons and services aimed at helping those persons find employment, housing, health care services, and educational opportunities. Details of past performance can be found in the City's Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The 2014-2018 Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) was adopted for development of the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan. The CPP provides details for public notice for all meetings and the various stages of Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Consolidated Plan development, public hearings before the citizens of Lubbock and City Council, accommodations for persons with disabilities, and the conduct of public review of draft documents. In addition to public hearings as a means of receiving comment from the public in front of the Mayor and City Council, City staff held community meetings to provide citizens with information concerning the availability of Community Development Block Grant, HOME, and Emergency Solutions Grant funds and to incorporate their comments into the planning process. These included five technical assistance workshops which were held during the day or evening at community centers and one meeting held at City Hall for housing, homeless, and disability service providers. A survey to establish a community involvement process for prioritizing needs was distributed among workshop attendees and other interested individuals and was also posted on the City's website for enumeration online. Additional interviews were conducted with representatives of the housing and banking industry, non-profit organizations, and the community to further explore community needs and concerns. 5. Summary of public comments No comments were received in the public review process, therefore none were rejected for any reason. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them No public comments were received during the public review period. 7. Summary This document was developed through a process that included a significant community engagement component, which included focus groups, workshops, and a public review period. No comments were received from the public during the public review period, which is indicative of the extent to which community involvement was incorporated into the development of the Consolidated Plan.

Table 4—Citizen Participation Outreach Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 13 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Needs Assessment NA-05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview The needs assessment looks at a variety of housing, homeless, community development, and non - homeless special needs through an examination of census and CHAS data, which was created by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These data qualtify housing problems, such as overcrowding and cost burden, and measure the magnitude of special needs populations, such as the elderly, frail elderly, and persons with HIV/AIDS. As shown in the following analysis, cost burden (paying more than 30 percent of household income on housing expenses) and extreme cost burden (paying more than 50 percent of household income on housing expenses) has a considerable impact on households in Lubbock, particularly lower income households. Measures of housing condition (lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities) doesn't provide a very reliable measure of condition, though it represents the best, easily accessible data on the topic. Other needs are represented through public housing wait lists and various census and state data sources. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 14 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs The following data provide an analysis of housing problems in Lubbock, including lack of complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, overcrowding (1.01 to 1.5 persons per room), severe overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room), cost burden (paying more than 30% of household income on housing expenses), and severe cost burden (paying more than 50% of household income on housing expenses. By far, the most common housing need related to cost burden, hitting lower income households particularly hard, with over 67 percent of renter households and 62 percent of owner households earning less than 30% of the area median income (AMI) paying more than 50% of their income on housing expenses. For rental households, severe cost burden is the most common housing problem with 36 percent of all renter households earning below 100% of the AMI paying more than 50% of their income on housing expenses, while cost burden is the most common for owner households where 21.6 percent of all owner households earning below 100% of the AMI paying more than 30% of their income on housing expenses, with severe cost burden not far behind with 21.5 percent paying more than 50% of their income on housing expenses. The next most pressing housing problem in Lubbock is overcrowding in rental housing, with four percent living in units with 1.01 to 1.5 persons per room. When comparing overcrowding with cost burden, the needs observed are not nearly as pressing.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. What are the most common housing problems? By far, the most common housing problem in Lubbock is cost burden. According to the CHAS data in Table 5 above, over 72 percent of households in the 0-30% AMI income category (including renters and owners) had a cost burden of over 30%, with over 66 percent having a cost burden of over 50%. A 30% cost burden means that a household is spending more than 30% of their gross income on housing expenses, including utilities. Over 70 percent of households in the 30-50% AMI income category had a 30% cost burden, with 37 percent having a 50% cost burden. The numbers fall off somewhat for the next highest income category where 42 percent of households in the 50-80% AMI category had a 30% cost burden, with only eight percent having a 50% cost burden. Looking at cost burden and severe cost burden by tenure, over 67 percent of renter households and 62 percent of owner households earning less than 30% of the area median income (AMI) paying more than 50% of their income on housing expenses. For rental households, severe cost burden is the most Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) common housing problem with 36 percent of all renter households earning below 100% of the AMI paying more than 50% of their income on housing expenses, while cost burden is the most common for owner households where 21.6 percent of all owner households earning below 100% of the AMI paying more than 30% of their income on housing expenses, with severe cost burden not far behind with 21.5 percent paying more than 50% of their income on housing expenses. By comparison, the numbers for overcrowding and incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities were low, with less than five percent of the lowest income category living in overcrowded conditions and less than two percent living without complete kitchen or plumbing facilities. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Cost burden and extreme cost burden affect all household types in the lower income categories. In simple numerical terms, it would appear that "Other" households bear much of the brunt of severe cost burden, with over 61 percent of the total number of below 30% AMI rental households experiencing severe cost burden and 41 percent of owner households in the same income category experiencing severe cost burden. The data, however, does not provide a perspective in the percentage of households that comprise the "Other" household category. Much of the "Other" category is made up of single -person households and census data indicate that about 30 percent of households in Lubbock are single -person households. It is therefore safe to assume that the size of the "Other" household category is relative large. Generally speaking, it appears that all household types in both the renter and owner categories are hard hit by housing costs in the below 30% AMI income groups. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Low-income individuals and families who are currently housed but are at risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered are living paycheck to paycheck, just making ends meet. They are often one paycheck away from being homeless in the event of a sudden loss of employment or medical emergency which redirects financial resources. These households span all types, including individuals living alone, small families, large families, and the elderly. Some households have relatives or friends with whom they can double -up, thus avoiding homelessness, at least in technical terms, but these accommodations are not long-term solutions to their needs. These households, particularly extremely low-income households, need a wide variety of assistance to help them meet those emergency needs that occasionally crop up in everyone's lives. This assistance could include job training to help them transition into better paying professions, mortgage/rental assistance, medical clinics that provide low or no cost care, rent subsidies, and other services that help absorb the costs that might redirect funds dedicated to housing. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Formerly homeless families and individuals also need these services to reduce the prospect of returning to homelessness. Transitional housing units, permanent supportive housing, and rent subsidies help meet the housing expenses of households returning from homelessness, while job training programs help with job prospects. Other social services are needed on occasion as circumstances demand. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: Homeless service providers in Lubbock work together to plan for the needs of homeless individuals and families. They have combined their efforts as South Plains Homeless Consortium, a non-profit umbrella organization that strives to: • Avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts and close gaps in services • Educate ourselves and our community about the causes and extent of homelessness • Advocate for the homeless/at risk population to prevent homelessness The South Plains Homeless Consortium, along with other local consortiums/coalitions, belongs to the Texas Homeless Network Balance of State Continuum of Care (THNBoSCoC). More than 200 Texas Counties are covered by this Balance of State CoC. The Texas Homeless Network assists local communities with point -in -time surveys of homeless populations in those communities. The point -in - time count provides the estimates of the various categories of homeless individuals and families. These include chronic homeless, veterans, families with children, families without children, individuals, and unaccompanied children. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Severe cost burden is linked with housing instability and an increased risk of homelessness. When a household is paying too large a portion of their income on housing expenses, sudden and unexpected financial demands can tip the scales, forcing them from their homes. These demands might include illnesses requiring hospital stays or time away from their job, automotive problems requiring repairs or loss of work due to lack of transportation, and legal problems that might require payments to lawyers or time away from their job. Lower income households are particularly susceptible to these financial impacts because they are less likely to have savings that can cover these expenses and buffer the effects of monetary demands in covering unexpected events. Discussion Cost burden and extreme cost burden are the most common housing problem across all lower income households in Lubbock, both renter and owner. The lower the income of the household, the more extreme the cost burden. Overcrowding is also a common problem in many lower income households, Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) though the numbers are much lower than those of cost burden. There is some concern with lack of complete plumbing and kitchen facilities, but these conditions are not widespread. As a proxy for housing condition, lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities does not tell the entire story. Many units with complete kitchen and plumbing facilities may not be habitable.

Among these three groups, there are no disproportionate needs identifiable between the groups when compared with the jurisdiction as a whole. The only racial group that shows a disproportionately greater need is the Asian population in the 0-30% AMI income category and the 80-100% AMI income category. In both instances the prevelance of housing problems for the Asian population is more than 10 percent above the prevelance for the jurisdiction as a whole. The Asian population, however, is only 1.36 percent of the population of Lubbock and do not represent a large disparity given the size of the population.

From the CHAS data presented in the previous sections, there is little identifiable disproportionately greater need indicated between racial/ethnic groups in Lubbock other than the lowest and the highest income groups for a relatively small Asian population. The total Asian population makes up less than two percent of the total population of Lubbock, however, and the impact of the disproportionately greater need is small. Between the two major racial/ethnic groups, White and Hispanic, which comprise more than 90 percent of the population of Lubbock, the CHAS data show little difference. If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? None identified Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Maps included in the market analysis show some census tracts east of downtown Lubbock are home to a relatively high portion of the city's African -American population, with the total African -American population in those tracts ranging from 25 to 68 percent of the total population of those tracts, in a city where the total African -American population is only seven percent of the total population of the city. Likewise, there are tracts north, east, and southeast of the downtown area that are home to relatively high portion of the city's Hispanic population, ranging from 50 to 85 percent of the total population of the tracts, compared to a total Hispanic population in the city of about 30 percent.

The average annual income of their public housing residents and voucher holders is almost $12,000. The average length of stay for public housing residents and voucher holders is five years. The residents include 70 elderly persons in public housing and 126 with vouchers and 46 families with persons with disabilities in public housing and 217 with disabilities holding vouchers. The largest racial/ethnic groups among residents are White, with 219 in public housing and 408 vouchers, and African -American, with 135 in public housing and 334 with vouchers. Hispanics account for 172 in public housing and 226 with vouchers. It should be noted, most of those categorized as White are also Hispanic, as Hispanic is an ethnic category and not a racial category.

As with families with disabilities in privately owned housing, residents needs housing units that provide easy access to the unit and all rooms within the unit, are free of obstacles that would prevent access to bath and kitchen facilities, and are designed in a way that allows those with disabilities access to cooking and food preparation surfaces. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders According to the PHA Plan, a total of 544 families were on the Section 8 waiting list. Thirty-six percent are families with children, three percent are elderly, 21 percent are families with disabilities, 46 percent are White, and 29 percent are Hispanic. The public housing wait list included 476 families. Sixty-four percent were families with children, while seven percent were elderly and 27 percent were families with disabilities. Considering immediate housing needs of public housing residents, almost 55 percent were seeking one -bedroom units, 14 percent were looking for two -bedroom units, 30 percent needed three - bedroom units, and the remaining seven percent were wanting four or more bedrooms. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The housing needs of the public housing wait list closely reflect the distribution of units by number of bedrooms for the rental population at large in Lubbock. Units are fairly evenly divided between one - and two -bedroom units, with a much smaller portion being three -bedroom units. Discussion The wait lists for public housing and Section 8 vouchers were closed at the time of the development of the PHA Plan in 2011 but was expected to be reopened during the plan year. The wait list was more than the total public housing units being operated by the PHA, while the Section 8 wait list was more than 72 percent of the number of vouchers managed by the PHA. As most of both wait lists were most likely families with extremely low incomes, the private housing market holds little hope of their finding suitable housing without assistance. This points to the need for additional public housing options for potential residents.

Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: Non -homeless special needs populations include the elderly, frail elderly, persons with physical and developmental disabilities, substance abusers, persons with mental illness, and persons living with HIV/AIDS. These families and individuals are living either with families, in group facilities, or independently. They have a wide variety of needs, many of which are being met without public assistance. In some cases, where parents are caring for disabled children, the future of their independence is at risk. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: These populations have a broad spectrum of characteristics, similarto the population at large, but a distinguishing factor for them is an increased risk of homelessness due to the fragile nature of their existance, some relying heavily on others for their care, others living on fixed incomes and vulnerable to hardships caused by sudden demands on their resources. Alcohol and drug abuse are defined as excessive and impairing use of alcohol or other drugs. The National Institute of Alcohol and Abuse and Alcoholism estimated the number of adult men with a drinking problem at 15 percent of the total population and that of adult women at 6 percent. These percentages, when applied to Lubbock, would yield a total population of alcohol abuser at 23,921 persons, using 2010 U.S. Census population figures. Elderly are those individuals aged 62 or older. The elderly population continues to show a strong growth pattern as a population group. The elderly live a distinctive lifestyle requiring numerous supportive services. The South Plains Association of Governments operates the local Area Agency on Aging (AAA), which provides an inclusive and coordinated variety of services and opportunities for seniors, inclusing information, legal counseling, healthcare assistance, ombudsmanship, family caregiver support, and resource assistance. The City of Lubbock is responsible for the operation of four senior citizen centers and and provides a seniors lunch program at five sites (including the four senior centers). The centers provide much needed services including meals, recreation activities, and a social component. The local Meals on Wheels program serves over 150,000 meals per year to seniors with a volunteer workforce of over 1,100 persons. Between 2000 and 2010, the population aged 65 years and over fell from 11.1 percent of the population to 10.8 percent. The 2010 U.S. Census put the population of Lubbock's population of 62 and over at 30,070. Persons with physical or developmental disabilities often require special facilities and care. Persons with developmental disabilities sometimes lack the capacity to care for themselves and rely on a caretaker to see to their daily needs. More often than not the caretaker is a parent. If the child outlives the parent who has provide their care all their lives, other arrangements must be made to see to their continued care. This group can include all ages, races, and ethnicities. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 44 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? Housing and supportive service needs of these populations include: • Group housing, • Physical rehabilitation and medical care, • New job training skills, • Unemployment and the resulting loss of income/ insurance coverage due to inability to perform job functions, • Extensive medical care and treatment, • Rehabilitation programs, • Counseling/ support groups to deal with the problem, • Addressing unemployment and the resulting loss of income/ insurance coverage due to inability to perform job functions, • Medical care/prescription medications, straining their already limited income, • Special transportation needs due to medical and physical condition, • Mobility assistance in normal daily activities, • Assistance in meal preparation, housekeeping and shopping, and • Physical rehabilitative care due to injury/falls. These needs were compiled through consultation with service providers. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: According to the 2012 Texas HIV Surveillance Report, there were 26 new HIV diagnoses and 44 new AIDS diagnoses in Lubbock County, with a total of 339 persons living with HIV/AIDS. All of the HIV cases and all but two of the AIDS cases were within the city of Lubbock. The document reported a cumulative total of 339 cases of persons living with HIV and 650 HIV diagnoses. The 26 new HIV diagnoses was the highest number of new diagnoses since 2003 in Lubbock County, while the 44 new AIDS diagnoses was by far the highest in the last ten years, eclipsing the 27 reported in 2003. One person living with HIV/AIDS was identified in the latest homeless point -in -time survey. Discussion: Non -homeless special needs populations encompass a wide variety of persons and households and cannot be easily categorized except in very general terms. Many as coping well with their situations with the need for public assistance. Some find needs that can only be met with help from outside their family. Some are on the verge of homelessness themselves and struggle from day today. Some live independently, while others depend of family or caregivers to help them on a daily basis. Needs for these populations are as varied as the populations are themselves and depend on individual situations.

In Lubbock, the housing market has slowly rebounded from the foreclosure crisis of the last decade. With that recovery, housing prices have increased, but are still affordable with the historically low mortgage interest rates found in the current market. The following analysis looks at a variety of data from the American Community Survey, the census, the Lubbock Housing Authority, and homeless service providers to provide a picture of the local market. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction The housing stock in Lubbock is heavily weighted toward single-family housing, with 66 percent of households residing in single-family detached structures. Approximately 55 percent of households are home owners, with 85 percent of owner households living in housing units with three or more bedrooms. Twenty-eight percent of housing units are in multifamily development, with two to twenty or more units in the structure. With over 27,550 multifamily units serving over 38,000 renter households, the data suggest that over 10,000 renter households reside in single-family structures, either attached or detached. The use of single-family structures for rental housing does address some of the need for larger housing units for renter households, but the vast disparity of larger units between renter (34%) and owner (85%) households suggests the need for new housing development aimed specifically toward larger renter households requiring three or more bedrooms.

The Lubbock Housing Authority owns and operates 355 units of public housing and administers 748 Section 8 vouchers, most of which are tenant -based. There are over 764 assisted apartment units in Lubbock, operating under contract with HUD. The public housing units target households with low- to moderate -incomes, though demand for units among low-income households predominates. Units assisted through contracts with HUD target households with incomes below 80 percent of the area median income. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. A database of HUD assisted multifamily properties indicates that there are 23 properties in Lubbock that have benefitted from HUD insured mortgage instruments with a total of 2,855 units. Of these 23 properties, only nine properties include HUD subsidized units. In these properties, 764 units of a total of 859 units receive HUD subsidies. A total of 1,996 units are included in the 14 properties no longer receiving HUD subsidies for any of the units in the properties. While the data do not indicate why no subsidies are being received, it can be assumed that at one time subsidies were being applied to at least a portion of these 1,996 units, but are no longer. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Sixty-six percent of all households in Lubbock reside in single-family detached homes. While this is often considered the ideal in terms of raising a family, the growing senior population may require a reconsideration of what is ideal with respect to housing type. In the coming years, the growing senior population may put more market pressure on smaller apartment units, particularly efficiencies and one - bedroom units, as they look to downsize from the single-family home in which they raised their families. Future development of units designed with retirees in mind and active senior apartment communities may take on a larger presence in the housing market. Describe the need for specific types of housing: As shown in the Units by Tenure data, the vast majority of owner households reside in home with three or more bedrooms (85%). By comparison, only 34 percent of renter households reside in units with three or more bedrooms. While many renter households contain single or couple households with no children, a number of larger renter households are overcrowded in smaller rental units, less than three bedrooms. There is a need for more apartment developments with larger units, particularly three or more bedrooms. Discussion Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The majority of housing units in Lubbock are in single-family structures (68%). Of renter households, most (66%) live in units with two or fewer bedrooms. As the demographics of the city and state start reflecting the aging of the baby boom generation, the housing market will need to adapt to provide new housing opportunities for those seeking to downsize from their family home to smaller units, some of which might be in senior's communities where residents can participate in a variety of community activities, including meals, exercise, shopping, and entertainment. The housing stock also needs additional supplies of larger rental units, some of which may come from the baby boomers moving to smaller units. The rental stock is 34 percent larger units (three or more bedrooms) compared to 85 percent for owner occupied units. There is a large inventory of HUD insured rental units in Lubbock which are not subsidized, suggesting loss of affordable housing inventory from the expiration of Section 8 contracts over the years.

In 2000, the median home value in Lubbock was $67,900. By 2009, the median value had increased by 49 percent to over $101,000. Rental costs had similar, though somewhat lower, increases rising 30 percent from $441 in 2000 to $573 in 2009. In Lubbock, almost 54 percent of renter households paid between $500 and $999 per month in rent. Just over six percent of the rental housing stock was affordable to households earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. No homes were priced in a range that would be affordable for a household earning less than 30 percent of the area median income.

As would be expected, the lowest income households have the least housing stock from which to choose, clearly not enough to meet the needs of the community. With no homes priced at a level affordable to those earning below 30 percent of the area median income, rental properties are their only option. The data show that six percent of rental units are affordable to those earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. With this limited housing stock, many households are forced to spend more of their income on housing expenses, moving up to higher priced rental housing. This creates a cost burden for those households, requiring that they spend more than 30 percent of their household income on housing expenses. In many cases it creates an extreme cost burden, requiring more than 50 percent of their income for housing. In some cases households are forced to double -up with other families, sharing housing units that were designed for only one household. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? With a 49 percent increase in median home value, homeownership is becoming less affordable. With an improving economy, that pressure on homeownership is likely to increase as the housing market recovers from the mortgage foreclosure situation of the recent past and home prices return to pre-2008 levels and grow even more. On the other hand, mortgage interest rates are at historic lows, which make home purchases more affordable than would have been possible in 2000 when rates were higher. The lower interest rates are, to some extent, responsible for the rise in home prices since 2000 as an individual household is able to afford a higher home price with the lower interest rate. Rents, however, rose at a slower pace, 30 percent between 2000 and 2009. Rents are less affordable than in 2000 and the demand for rental housing is most likely higher than in 2000 with former homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure looking for rental housing instead of looking to buy. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? In most cases, high HOME rents do not meet fair market rent expectations in Lubbock. Only in the case of one -bedroom units do high HOME rents exceed the fair market rent. For three -bedroom units, high HOME rents amount to only 83 percent of fair market rents and only 79 percent for four -bedroom units. In all cases, the low HOME rents are significantly below fair market rents. HOME and Fair Market Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 57 Rents compare favorably to the area median rent of $573 in 2009. The median rent covers all unit sizes while HOME and Fair Market Rents are shown by unit size indicated by the number of bedrooms. In almost all cases, the HOME and Fair Market Rents exceed the median rent. Fair Market Rents for three and four -bedroom units are sufficiently high to justify housing strategies that target the development of larger units for larger households looking for rental properties with Section 8 assistance. Discussion Competing factors in the housing market, rising prices and historically low mortgage interest rates, have kept homeownership affordability somewhat constant over the past decade. The mortgage market, however, created a situation through "liar" loans and adjustable rate mortgage products where large numbers of homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure. This resulted in a bubble in the supply of homes on the market and a dip in home prices, but many were unable to take advantage of the market conditions because of a tightening of mortgage requirements and the inability of many to qualify for mortgage under the more stringent rules. Rents, on the other hand, increased by 30 percent since 2000, putting pressure on lower income households looking for rental opportunities. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 58 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a) Introduction The condition of housing units is highly correlated to the income of the household residing within those housing units. In Lubbock, 78 percent of owner -occupied housing units and 47 percent of renter - occupied housing units have no housing problems reported. Four conditions are represented as housing problems, including lack of complete kitchen facilities, lack of complete plumbing facilities, more than one person per room, and cost burden (paying more than 30% of household income on housing expenses). The data show that 21 percent of owner households and 51 percent of renter households have one housing problem or condition. Presumably, this one housing problem is most likely either cost burden or more than one person per room, with the later more likely for renter housing than for owner housing. Sixty-one percent of owner -occupied housing and 55 percent of renter -occupied housing was built prior to 1980, making those units potential sources of lead -based paint contamination. While not all will have lead -based paint, the age of the units suggest that at one time lead -based paint may have been used on the unit and provides a potential hazard, particularly for households with children present. Over 12,400 units in Lubbock were built before 1980 and have children present in the household. It is reasonable to assume that a large number of these households are lower income households due to the fact that older housing stock is often filtered down through the income categories to the lowest income households. Definitions Substandard condition is defined as a combination of incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities, missing windows or exterior doors, severely compromised foundations, outdated electrical infrastructure, holes in floors or walls, and holes in roof or severely compromised roofing materials preventing closure from weather penetration. Many units with a combination that includes all these conditions may be unfit for human occupation. Some may be candidates for rehabilitation, others may not be. Substandard condition by suitable for rehabilitation would be units where the home is determined to be 60 percent deteriorated or the cost of the combination of needed repairs of all conditions does not exceed the estimated after -rehabilitation value of the house.

As the housing stock ages, water infiltration and many other factors can cause rapid deteriorization of housing units, particularly where the residents don't or can't provide needed maintenance. In some areas of Lubbock, the housing stock may exceed 50 years of age and the median income of the residents of those areas may be less than 50 percent of the area median income. In these situations it is likely that housing conditions generally throughout these areas are poor. In some areas of Lubbock one can find many homes with poor external conditions which suggest equally poor internal conditions. The City operates owner and rental rehabilitation programs that target these areas in an effort to improve the basic housing stock found in the city. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Hazards The data show that the number of housing units in Lubbock built prior to 1980, and potentially where lead -based paint hazards might be found, include 61 percent of all owner housing and 55 percent of rental housing. Eighteen percent of owner housing units and 10 percent of rental housing units built prior to 1980 are occupied by families with children present, a total of over 12,400 housing units. As housing units and neighborhoods age, they typically fall through the income classes from middle- or Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) moderate -income households to lower income households. Neighborhoods that were once middle class become home to lower income groups as they age. Typically, with some exceptions, the oldest neighborhoods found are where the poorest residents are found. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that most of the 12,400 units in Lubbock built prior to 1980 and occupied by families with children are likely occupied by low- or moderate -income families. Discussion There is an extensive need for rehabilitation programs in Lubbock targeting the improvement of the City's oldest housing stock. These programs, which are currently ongoing through the City's CDBG and HOME funding, provide owners of owner -occupied, single-family housing and multifamily rental housing with loans and/or grants to facilitate needed repairs which have not been effected by current or previous owners. These repairs include structural and cosmetic repairs both inside the unit and on the exterior and testing for and remediation of lead -based paint hazards in older housing units.

All depend, to some extent, on mainstream services to supplement those offered in-house. These include transportation services, dental care, legal assistance, health and mental health care, job training, and childcare. Some of these services are offered pro bono from caring professionals. Other services require some payment from the client. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. Lubbock is served by a wide range of organizations that address the needs of homeless individuals and families. Included are: • Women's Protective Services - emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence • Chatholic Charities - counseling at -risk youth • The Salvation Army - emergency shelter and transitional housing • Sunrise Canyon Hospital - emergency shelterfor people who are a danger to themselves or others • Lubbock Faith Center -transitional housing • Alcohol Recovery Center - transitional housing • Family Promise - transitional housing • Managed Care Center for Addictions and Other Disorders - transitional housing • The Door for Sober Living - transitional housing • Simple Acts Ministry - transitional housing • StarCare Specialty Health System - permanent supportive housing These facilities and programs address housing and service needs of homeless individuals and families by offering beds and a variety of much needed services. Contained within this group of programs are emergency shelters, transitional and permanent housing, drug treatment programs, services for victims Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 68 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d) Introduction Special needs populations in Lubbock include the elderly; frail elderly; persons with mental, physical, or developmental disabilities; persons with HIV/AIDS; and persons with substance abuse problems. Considering the non -homeless special needs population, many in these populations are currently having their housing and service needs met without or with limited public assistance. Circumstances, however, are subject to change and the more the community prepares for future needs, the better it will be able to meet those needs when they occur. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs The supportive housing needs of special needs populations in Lubbock vary according to the population. In coming years, the needs of the elderly and frail elderly will increase as the over 65 year old population grows with the aging of the baby boom population. These needs may include nursing care facilities targeted to lower income households who cannot afford private nursing home care. Permanent supportive housing options for persons with mental, physical, and developmental disabilities may also become a pressing issue as persons with disabilities who previously been taken care of parents lose those caregivers to death or incapacity. With healthcare systems enabling persons with disabilities to live longer, many are now outliving their caregivers, increasing demand for group housing that provides the care this population needs. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing Many of the homeless shelters operate under a rapid re -housing structure for clients coming into the system, but there is no established protocol within the service provision structure in Lubbock regarding returning patients from mental and physical health institutions. Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) The City will be funding housing rehabilitation and emergency repair programs that work with the elderly, among other populations, in an attempt to maintain their home so they can continue to reside there. As a homeowner ages he/she is often unable to continue to provide the maintenance needed to Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 69 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) keep the home habitable. The City's programs work with those homeowners to address pressing issues that arise, such as roof leaks or plumbing failures, and also more extensive rehabilitation needed to bring a home completely up to current building code.

That sector is followed by Retail Trade and Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations with 12 and 10 percent respectively. Professional, Scientific, Management Services has a nine percent share of workers, followed by Finance, Insurance and Real Estate with seven percent and Manufacturing and Construction with a six percent share each.

Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 78 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. There have been several recent economic development successes in Lubbock that will affect job and business growth in the coming years, according to the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA). These successes include: Republic National Distributing Company's announcement of the construction of a 125,000 square foot distribution facility that will provide 51 jobs over five years and have an annual economic impact of over $19 million; Custom TeleConnect's announcement of expansion of their Lubbock office providing 163 new jobs with an annual economic impact of over $17.7 million; and AmpliSine Labs' expansion of their Lubbock location to add another 115 new jobs with an annual economic impact of over $9 million. These investments will require new skills in the local workforce, many of which can be provided in partnership with existing job training programs. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Generally, there is a wide range of jobs in Lubbock with a variety of education and skill requirements. The industry with the most workers in Lubbock is the Education and Health Care Services sector, which typically has stringent education and skill requirements for the most visible portion of the workforce, the educators, doctors, and nurses. The sector also has a large support staff with lower education and skill requirements, including maintenance workers, drivers, and many other job classifications. Lubbock's second and third largest sectors are Retail Trade and Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations, typically calling for a less educated, less skilled workforce. Lubbock has a relatively well educated workforce, with over three times as many residents over the age of 16 having a college degree as those not having finished high school. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. According to the LEDA website, the following workforce training initiatives were active in Lubbock. Community Workforce Partnership (CWP) - In 2000, LEDA helped form the CWP. The purpose of CWP is to carry out a cooperative program that meets the training, education and information needs of local and regional businesses, industries and the local and regional labor market. In 2004, the CWP received the Workforce Best Practices Award from the Texas Economic Development Council. Some of the advances that LEDA and the CWP have helped foster are listed below: Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 79 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) South Plains Center for Productivity and Innovation (SPCPI) - Thanks to the Wagner-Peyser 7(b) grant, local businesses and their employees can benefit from specialized education and training programs offered at the newly opened South Plains Center for Productivity and Innovation. SPCPI is an initiative of the CWP, a 501(c)(3), made up of a group of local organizations dedicated to meeting the workforce needs of local businesses and industries. The new facility, located at 1622 Mac Davis Lane, will provide training and education in a variety of specialized areas, including Operations and Service Measurements, Continuous Improvement, Service Business Flow and Simulations, Sales Team Strategy and Structure and more. Nursing Grant Program — Many members of CWP played a role in obtaining the nursing grant, which was awarded to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. This grant has been renewed over the years and provides vital funding for instruction, professors and clinical work. The additional funding has helped increase the number of nursing graduates for this region. South Plains Economic Development Task Force (SPEDTF) — In 2002, the SPEDTF began looking for ways to leverage the many resources of the Lubbock Independent School District (L.I.S.D.) to be available to all students of the South Plains region. The efforts of the CWP helped form the Career and Technology Consortium of West Texas. This organization was responsible forstarting the Automotive Technician Pilot Project to help facilitate curriculum at the secondary level as well as build a feeder program for post -secondary education for auto technicians. This pilot project became the model program for building other industry -led certifications, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, and in this case, a doctoral program at Texas Tech University for Mechanical Engineering. Other career pathway programs which used this pilot program as a blueprint are listed below: • West Texas Manufacturing Association • Industrial Manufacturing • Allied Heath Programs • Cotton Gin Technicians • Wind Turbine Technicians • Computer Programming Project Skills Development Fund Grants —The CWP assisted South Plains College, The Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center and Workforce Solutions in writing grants, which provided funding to train and enhance the skills of incumbent and new employees for local businesses.

If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. As detailed on the LEDA website, LEDA opened the Lubbock Business Park, a 586-acre tract of land located on Interstate-27, approximately one mile south of Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport. This successful venture is currently showing signs of increased growth, with the construction of Verizon Wireless' new data center and the Texas Department of Public Safety's regional headquarters slated to open soon. To date, $24.9 million has been committed for public infrastructure at the Lubbock Business Park. For every $1 spent, private investment has spent $5.21. With the addition of more roads into the complex and an additional 10 lots now available for new construction, the Lubbock Business Park is showing all the signs of being a vibrant option for any business looking to relocate or expand. While looking for a viable means to increase commerce to this region, LEDA helped implement the Lubbock Rail Port, a 526-acre tract of land located just north of the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, which provides convenient access to Interstate-27, the airport and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway. Due to the acquisition of an additional 200 acres and a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration to extend additional rail into the Park, the rail port is an attractive location for food processors, light manufacturing and heavy industrial companies. Discussion The Lubbock Economic Development Alliance has worked in concert with the City and private companies to provide structure for the growth of the city's job base and provide training for the workforce. New initiatives, including the Lubbock Business Park and the Lubbock Rail Port, provided infrastructure improvements that make relocation to and/or expansion of facilities in Lubbock more attractive to corporate entities. The success of these facilities are reflected in the number of corporate relocations and expansions to these facilities in recent years. To staff these new expansion opportunities, the LEDA provides several workforce training initiatives. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 81 MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The census tracts that are identified as eligible for CDBG area benefit (median income below 80 percent of the area median income) include some of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The housing in these neighborhoods are often in poor condition and many are in need of extensive rehabilitation or removal. These neighborhoods are also where the lowest income households in the city live, in housing stock that is in poor condition, and, therefore, offered at lower rents or sales prices. Despite the lower rents or purchase price, the lower income households pay a large portion of their income on housing expenses. In this case, concentrated would mean that a large portion of the neighborhood shows the impact of these housing problems. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") As of the 2010 Census, African -Americans comprise about eight percent of the population of Lubbock (8.6%). There is some concentration of the African -American population in census tracts east of downtown, with the percentage of the total population being as much as 68 percent. Most of the tracts are within the CDBG area benefit tracts (where median incomes of the tracts are below 80 percent of the area median income). These areas also show high rates of poverty, with poverty rates above 40 percent of the population of the tracts. Maps of poverty rates and concentrations of African -Americans are included below. Likewise, the Hispanic population, which makes up 32 percent of the total population of Lubbock, is concentrated in census tracts north, east, and southeast of the downtown area. In some of these tracts, the percentage Hispanic exceeds 85 percent of the total population of the tract. These tracts also show high rates of poverty. A map of the Hispanic population concentrations is provided below as well. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? These neighborhoods, as mentioned above, contain much of the poorest housing stock in the city. As a result, the housing market contains much of the lowest cost housing as well. Code enforcement officials worked extensively in these areas in an attempt to maintain the integrity of the community in past years, however previous CDBG funding for code enforcement has been ended. Some neighborhoods have a number of vacant lots where homes have been removed. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 82 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) These areas do have community assets, including community and senior centers, parks, and other public facilities. Much of the public housing operated by the Lubbock Housing Authority is also located within these neighborhoods. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? In neighborhoods where many homes have been removed, there may be opportunities for development of new housing units. In areas where brownfield issues are not a concern, private and non-profit developers can find appropriate redevelopment sites to provide homes for a range of household incomes, including lower and upper income households. These efforts would aid in sustainability efforts, bringing more people into the neighborhoods and improving the housing stock available in the market.

Table 49 — Priority Needs Summary Narrative (Optional) The City conducted a survey of residents through a survey instrument posted on the City's website and hard copy surveys distributed at all Fair Housing focus group sessions and Consolidated Plan forums. The results of these surveys were used by City staff to allocate priorities among the various facility, infrastructure, service, and economic development needs listed above. Use of Community Development Block Grant funds is limited to those activities deemed to have "High" priorities. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 104 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-30 Influence of Market Conditions — 91.215 (b) Influence of Market Conditions Affordable Market Characteristics that will influence Housing Type the use of funds available for housing type Tenant Based The use of tenant -based rental assistance is dependent on rental property Rental Assistance owners willingness to rent their units to TBRA clients. In many communities, (TBRA) landlords are reluctant to rent to these clients due to the reputation they have that the clients do not take care of the property as well as other renters do. Other market conditions that could influence the use of TBRA have to do with rents being asked for rental property. If rents are too high, the rental assistance might not be enough to allow clients to lease the units, even if the landlord was willing. TBRA for Non- Added to the description of TBRA market characteristics above, non -homeless Homeless Special special needs clients may also encounter housing units that do not meet their Needs accessibility needs. Most housing in any community has not had accessibility improvements that allow persons with mobility issues ease of access. While landlords are obligated to make reasonable accommodations for such renters, many need more accommodations than typical landlords would consider reasonable. New Unit The production of new housing units is influenced by several market conditions, Production including the cost of land, the cost of construction, and prevailing interest rates. While rates are currently at historic lows, the mortgage markets are still recovering from the recent mortgage foreclosure crisis and restrictions placed on lending institutions that resulted. In many areas lenders are not making new loans as freely as before and some well qualified buyers are finding it difficult to navigate the new mortgage processes that have been instituted. The resulting delays in securing loans can burden housing developers and restrict their activities. Rehabilitation Rehabilitation activities can be influenced by the cost of materials and labor. In Lubbock, these costs are relative low in comparison to other areas of the country. The efficiency of rehabilitation is dependent on the after rehabilitation value of the home. If the market value of the home does not support the extent of rehabilitation required, it's not worth the effort to repair the home. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 105 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type Acquisition, Acquisition, including preservation, can be influenced by the market value of including the structure. With home purchases by private individuals, the historic low preservation interest rates off -set increases in the market value of the housing stock. Monthly housing costs of higher priced homes at lower interest rates approximate the monthly housing costs of lower priced homes at higher interest rates. In the case of a City agency or non-profit organization buying housing stock for rehabilitation and resale or for preservation, the costs of purchasing a home outright at higher prices can reduce the number of homes that can be purchased or reduce the funds available for rehabilitation activities.

North East Lubbock CHDO Ownership Jurisdiction CDC Rental Table 52 - Institutional Delivery Structure Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The institutional delivery system in Lubbock is well coordinated and spans a range of community needs. The City has many years of experience managing and implementing the programs addressed in the Consolidated Plan, as well as working with outside agencies that fill some of the needs as outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Services provided by the Emergency Solutions Grant Program are managed by a group of homeless service providers who work together as a coalition in response to HUD grant requirements as the South Plains Homeless Consortium. Though this organization, the group collects facilities and client information and prepares grant proposals in an effort to bring additional resources to Lubbock. The Housing Authority of Lubbock operates public housing units and works well with City staff and the City political leadership. The lone gap is the limited number of CHDOs operating in Lubbock.

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 service providers in Lubbock work closely together to provide a continuum of services in response to needs identified through surveys of homeless persons and general observations of the providers. Providers in Lubbock are particularly strong in the areas of case management and life skills training. The lone gaps identified in the chart above are child care services and educational services targeted to homeless persons. Another gap in the coordination of services centers on the lack of universal participation of providers in the HMIS system. All homeless providers who participate in federal funding programs are enrolled in the HMIS 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 1. Work with non-profit organizations to address community needs and provide support to federal and non-federal funding initiatives. 2. Work with private industry to address important issues that hamper housing and community development efforts. 3. Identify opportunities to create private/public partnerships for project finance and development to leverage federal funds.

Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 127 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement — 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement) Every development in the Lubbok Housing Authority inventory is in compliance with the number of accessible units required. The housing authority is in the process of adding 10 new units for elderly residents which will add to the accessible inventory. Activities to Increase Resident Involvements The Lubbock Housing Authority organizes a resident council to assist with planning activities. Councils at the individual development level have not been successful due to lack of resident interest.

The coalition also conducts yearly point -in -time counts of the homeless and conducts a bi-yearly survey of the homeless. City staff participate in the counts and surveys. The point -in -time counts and the surveys work to reach out to homeless persons, including unsheltered persons, and assesses individual and family needs, contributing to the consultation brought to the Consolidated Plan forums and survey from which priorities are formed. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Strategic Plan provides that the City provide support for fundraising efforts for non-profit homeless providers who work with organizations to add transitional housing units. The City also provides funding for organizations that offer emergency shelters through the Emergency Solutions Grant program. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The Strategic Plan supports efforts to provide permanent supportive housing, including special needs populations. The plan also provides for attention to expansion of services for the prevention of homelessness through tenant -based mortgage and rental assistance programs that provide temporary assistance to prevent evictions. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 130 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The plan provides support for tenant -based mortgage and rental assistance programs in an effort to prevent evictions and the homelessness that would ensue.

Strategies: • Continue to meet HUD lead -based paint abatement standards in housing rehabilitation programs. • Identify additional funding to perform abatement on pre 1978 housing in the target census tracts and perform abatement to reduce affected units by 10 percent during the five year period ending December 2018 based on current estimates of lead -based paint affected units. • Seek funding as it becomes available to provide testing and abatement of lead -based paint hazards in single-family housing where young children are present. • Expand the stock of lead safe housing units through housing initiatives. • Seek funding as it becomes available to provide for testing, abatement, training, and educational awareness. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The effectiveness of the programs operated by the City of Lubbock work through the City's housing rehabilitation programs. These programs target some of the oldest housing stock in the city, which is typically in the worst condition and most likely to have lead -based paint hazards. To the extent that lead -based paint hazards are found in the older housing stock, these programs address the issue directly. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City of Lubbock currently performs visual inspections of housing units included in their housing programs. Where defective paint is observed, surfaces are prepped and repainted, following abatement guidelines provided by HUD. All rehabilitation and down -payment assistance programs include provisions requiring that all painted surfaces be in good condition. Similar efforts are undertaken by the Lubbock Housing Authority when bringing new Section 8 housing units into the program. Housing units are inspected according to the provisions of Housing Quality Standard regulations, including lead -based paint conditions.

Also, some funding is available according to individual benefit rather than area benefit. It is, therefore, difficult to provide reasonable projections of the distribution of funds by target area. The numbers below are strictly estimates based on experience. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds City Wide Area 50 Mahon 16 Parkway -Cherry Point 16 Dunbar -Manhattan 17 Table 58 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The proposed allocation of funds is based on federal funding requirements for each formula -allocated grant. Areas of low to moderate -income concentration and certain areas of high minority concentration are targeted. Areas of low homeownership and deteriorating housing conditions were also considered in the targeting process. The City will target the majority of its resources in small geographic areas in order to make a visible, measurable impact. Discussion The distribution of funds by target area is projected to be primarily citywide due to use of funds for administrative, non-profit support, and individual benefit -oriented programmatic uses of the funds. The remaining funds are estimated to be spread through smaller target areas.

The agency continually evaluates units as they are vacated for renovation needs, often removing individual units from the inventory temporarily to allow for renovation activities. The agency also will re-evaluate its payment standard to assure that subsidies are relevant in the housing market. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Each year, the Lubbock Housng Authority encourages resident participating in resident councils, but has little success maintaining ongoing interest at the individual development level. The organization -wide resident council is maintained to assist in the planning process. The agency does not operate any homeownership programs. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Not applicable. Discussion See the PHA Plan for details of actions mentioned above. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 173 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction Funding from the Emergency Solutions Grant Program is used to support non-profit homeless services providers in Lubbock. These funds provide agencies with additional means to target specific activities. In the coming program year, the following goals were identified for the ESG request for proposals. (1) Street Outreach funds may be used for costs of providing essential services necessary to reach out to unsheltered homeless people; connect with emergency shelter, housing, or critical services; and provide urgent, non -facility -based care to unsheltered homeless people who are unwilling or unable to access emergency shelter, housing, or an appropriate health facility. (2) Emergency Shelter funds may be used for costs of providing essential services to homeless families and to individuals in emergency shelters, renovating buildings to be used as emergency shelter for homeless families and individuals, and operating emergency shelters. (3) Homelessness Prevention funds may be used to provide housing relocation and stabilization services and short and/or medium -term rental assistance necessary to prevent an individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter or another place. (4) Rapid Re -housing Assistance funds may be used to provide housing relocation and stabilization services and short and/or medium term rental assistance as necessary to help a homeless individual or family move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability in that housing. (5) Relocation and Stabilization Services funds may be used to pay financial assistance to housing owners, utility companies and other third parties. (6) HMIS funds may be used to pay the costs of contributing data to the HMIS designated by the Continuum of Care for the area. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The South Plains Homeless Consortium, the coalition of local homeless service agencies, conducts annual surveys of homeless individuals, including unsheltered persons. These surveys serve to help focus agency activities for the coming year, as well as provide documentation in response to HUD program Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 174 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) requirements. ESG funding includes street outreach activities. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Homeless providers are focusing efforts on increasing the bed count for both emergency shelter and transitional housing programs. These efforts are reflected in the proposed ESG funding. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again Proposed funding for the ESG program include activities targeting improvements in the areas of rapid rehousing, discharge planning, and homeless prevention. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs Homeless prevention is a major focus of the participants in the South Plains Homeless Consortium. For some agencies, homeless prevention is their sole purpose. Other agencies include homeless prevention as a support program in conjunction with the provision of shelter and other support services. Discussion The participants in the South Plains Homeless Consortium work closely together to meet the needs of homeless individuals and families through the continuum of services coordinated through the partnership. The City participates in the planning efforts and provides a framework through the ESG Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 175 funding process to focus attention on specific programmatic areas. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 176 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j) Introduction: No public policies were identified that have negative effects on affordable housing development. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment None. Discussion: The City of Lubbock has worked to reduce the effects of public policy on affordable housing development over the past few years. While there are a number of market forces at work that make affordable housing development difficult, such as construction and land costs, the impact of public policy is not a major factor. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 177 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: The City currently provides a variety of services to the residents of Lubbock, some funded by CDBG, HOME, and ESG, with private, State, and City funding bringing additional assets to bear on these problems. Below are some of the actions currently performed by the City or under consideration for the future. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to look for new funding sources for programs to address underserved needs. Funding is the major obstacle in providing the services needed to focus on the vast variety of issues that prevent families from breaking out of poverty and from living in the best, most affordable housing possible. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to work to identify any city -owned parcels that might be suitable for affordable housing development opportunities, work with developers to fund projects, support tax credit applications, and manage programs to assist homeowners with maintenance and rehab needs. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards 1. Continue to meet HUD lead -based paint abatement standards in housing rehabilitation programs. 2. Identify additional funding to perform abatement on pre 1978 housing in the target census tracts and perform abatement to reduce affected units by 10 percent during the five-year period ending June 2019 based on current estimates of lead -based paint affected units. 3. Seek funding as it becomes available to provide testing and abatement of lead -based paint hazards in single-family housing where young children are present. 4. Expand the stock of lead safe housing units through housing initiatives. 5. Seek funding as it becomes available to provide for testing, abatement, training, and educational awareness. Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 178 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City will continue its efforts in conjunction with the South Plains Homeless Consortium and the Housing Authority of Lubbock to reduce the number of poverty -level families through the development of services needed to assist those families with educational opportunities, job growth, and life skills training through the various social service agencies operating in the city. Actions planned to develop institutional structure 1. Work with non-profit organizations to address community needs and provide support to federal and non-federal funding initiatives. 2. Work with private industry to address important issues that hamper housing and community development efforts. 3. Identify opportunities to create private/public partnerships for project finance and development to leverage federal funds. 4. Create networking opportunities through a housing roundtable that provides opportunities for City staff to interact with all sectors of the housing industry. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City will continue to coordinate planning activities with private housing providers and social service agencies, including participation in South Plains Homeless Consortium meetings, development of the Continuum of Care, and enumeration of point -in -time and homeless surveys. City staff will also continue its participation in other coalitions and study groups as the opportunity arises. Discussion: The actions are primarily the continuation of what the City is currently doing in the various areas. No major obstacles in the institutional structure have been identified that need to be addressed. The City is also satisfied with its efforts to coordinate with private housing and social service agencies.

Specify the years covered that include this Annual Action Plan. 75.00% HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(I)(2) 1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 180 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) as follows: The City of Lubbock utilizes other forms of investment as opportunities arise. In the past, projects have utilized funding from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs Community Services Block Grant and Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program to supplement federal funding sources. The City continually evaluates funding opportunities for applicability to community development priorities and applies for such funding when appropriate. 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: <p style="margin: Oin Oin Opt; text -align: justify; tab-stops:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The City of Lubbock follows the regulations for resale and recapture. For the Lease/Purchase Program the resale method is used. This is accomplished through a homeowner's agreement. For the New Construction Program the recapture method is used. The city administers this program and places a recapture clause in the loan agreements. These loans are serviced in house. The recapture amount will be based on the net proceeds available from the sale up to but not exceeding the entire amount of the HOME investment</font>. The complete guidelines are attached to this document.</p> 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: Resale requirements must ensure that if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the full period of affordability that the housing must be made available for subsequent purchase only to a buyer whose family qualifies as a low-income family and will use the property as their principal residence. The resale requirement must also ensure that the price at resale provides the original HOME -assisted owner a fair return on investment (including the homeowner's investment and any capital improvement as defined below) and ensure that the housing will remain affordable to a reasonable range of low-income homebuyers. The period of affordability is based on the total amount of HOME funds initially invested in the housing. Complete details are attached to this document. 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 181 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: The City does not intend to use HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds. In addition, the funds will not be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program. The City is aware that HOME funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Reference 91.220(I)(4) 1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) Currently funded agencies or those who have received prior funding from the Department of Community Development (DCD) will also be evaluated on past performance in carrying out programmatic activities and contractual compliance. Factors such as agency ability to meet service delivery goals, timely expenditure of funds, timely reporting, accuracy of reporting, ability to meet audit requirements, and other programmatic and fiscal contractual requirements will be considered. These other factors will be considered in conjunction with the proposal score in developing an overall recommendation for agency funding. 2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. Congress has directed HUD to improve the collection of data on the extent of homelessness locally and nationally. Communities must collect an array of data including an unduplicated count of homeless persons, analyze their patterns of the use of the McKinney-Vento and other assistance, including information on how they enter and exit the homelessness assistance system and assess the effectiveness of that assistance. Through the Federal Register Notice, the Emergency Solutions Grants Program and Community Development Block Grants were made a part of this mandate. Therefore, all proposed projects/organizations must provide written certification of their participation in an existing HMIS. 3. Identify the process for making sub -awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 182 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith -based organizations). The City of Lubbock expects to receive approximately $168,098 for the FY2014 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program. These funds will be awarded to community -based, nonprofit organizations providing emergency shelter and related services to the homeless, on a dollar -for -dollar match. Emergency Solutions Grant funds may be used for operations and maintenance, homeless prevention, essential support services and renovation/rehabilitation activities in connection with emergency shelters for the homeless. It is a priority of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Lubbock to work under a Continuum of Care approach to homelessness to assist homeless individuals and families to obtain a decent living environment, either through rental housing or home ownership. The Community Development Department specifically seeks proposals to provide shelter and supportive services for the homeless. The purpose of the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program is to: 1) Broaden existing emergency shelter and homelessness prevention activities; 2) Emphasize Rapid Re -Housing; and, 3) Help people quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness; 4) Enhance alignment of ESG regulations with other HUD programs including CDBG, HOME, and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program; and, 5)Support more coordinated and effective data collection, performance measurement, and program evaluation. 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. The City requires non -profits participating in the ESG program to have homeless representatives on their boards of directors. 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. HUD has implemented a mandated system of reporting performance measurements in a precise and timely manner. All recipients funded under this proposal must provide needed data to the city of Lubbock in order to be reimbursed for eligible expenses. All of the activities funded must identify one of the three performance measurements overarching objectives: 1) creating suitable living environment (In general, this objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment); 2) providing decent affordable housing (This objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose is to meet individual family or community needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort); 3) creating economic opportunities (This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation). There are also three Consolidated Plan LUBBOCK 183 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) outcomes under each objective: (1) Availability/Accessibility, (2) Affordability, and (3) Sustainability. Thus, the three objectives, each having three possible outcomes, will produce nine possible outcome/objective statements within which to categorize grant activities, as follows: Availability/Accessibility. This outcome category applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low -and moderate -income people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living available and accessible to low -and moderate -income people. Affordability. This outcome category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of low -and moderate -income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or services such as transportation or daycare. Sustainability: Promoting Livable or Viable Communities. This outcome applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefits to persons or low -and moderate -income people or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods. Discussion: The City strives to meet all program specific requirements as detailed in the enabling legislation and program guidelines. City staff work with subgrantees to ensure that these requirements are met and oversees internal operations towards the same goal.
