If you have pictures of your project, please provide. Use this space to address any unusual or creative features of your proposal. Attach additional pages if necessary. The Community Development Department currently administers several housing repair programs to assist low to moderate -income households. If successful in receiving this grant, the C. D. Dept. will target all the funds to rehabilitate owner -occupied homes with 20% of the funding/units set aside to assist first time homebuyers. All funds will be for eligible applicants whose incomes are at or below 50% of Median Income as defined by HUD. The AHP project will be used to expand existing programs and to allow more households in dire need of repairs to be assisted, thus providing decent, safe, sanitary, barrier free and energy Revised: 1/2002 efficient housing to more low-income homeowners. Each year as programs are administered, there is always more need for assistance in the'community than there is money available. These funds will be used in conjunction with the following programs administered by this department in order to expand these programs to more low-income families and individuals in need: Emergency Repair Program: This program is a grant to assist homeowners with emergency and severe housing situations that would be considered an eminent threat to health and safety. Conditions include: waterlines, sewer lines/private water disposal, gas lines, water heaters, heaters, air conditioners, electrical systems and other health and safety issues as may be referred by the Housing Inspector or other City Departments. Barrier Free Program: This program is a grant designed to assist homeowners that are disabled or have someone living in the household on a permanent basis that is disabled in resolving problems which restrict mobility within single-family structures. Eligible repairs include building/installing wheelchair ramps, grab bars, accessible showers, handicap toilets, sinks/faucets, widening of doors, lowering of cabinets, light switches and other required accessible items which may be deemed necessary for various types of disabilities. Homeowner's Exterior/Energy Efficient Loan Program (IIEELP): This program is a loan which is part forgivable and part payback based on a sliding scale of income according to family size to assist with roofing, windows, doors, heating, air conditioning, insulation and other energy efficiency items. Section 108 Program: This is a loan program from HUD and is required to be paid back 100% to HUD with interest. This program will be new and will be administered citywide as a 100% payback loan to homeowners since the C.D. Department is required to pay it back to HUD. The AHP grant would be used as a grant to the homeowners in conjunction with this loan to offset the 100% payback requirement. This would allow more low-income homeowners to participate in the program by making it more affordable to the applicant. The Section 108 loan will be used for total rehab to minor rehab of homes and to make homes energy efficient. Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program — this program will be a grant to assist first time homebuyers to achieve the American Dream of owning a home. The C. D. Dept. has administered Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Programs in the past and already has guidelines in place to implement this program. 20% of the funds/units will be used for down payment and closing cost assistance. This program will be 100% AHP Grant funded if approved. The AHP Grant will provide funding and /or leveraging for all the above-mentioned programs or in some cases will be used as a stand-alone grant for the same purposes as mentioned above. The AHP Grant portion will only be eligible to applicants at or below 50% of median and a forgivable lien will be placed on the property as required by the AHP Grant. Revised: 1/2002 c CAPACITY The C. D. Department has the capacity to operate this program, including Housing Staff, program guidelines, paperwork, and legal documents already in place and the experience to administer this program. The Housing staff consists of twelve full-time and two part-time staff members. They include a Field Services Coordinator, one Senior Building Construction Specialist, four Housing Inspectors, three Rehab Loan Specialists, one Real Estate Specialist, one Administrative Assistant, one Office Assistant, and two part-time clerks. In addition, the C. D. Department Administrative Section consists of ten full-time staff members. They include the CD Manager, one Account Analyst, one Bookkeeper, one Loan Servicing Specialist, one CD Contract Coordinator, one Sr. Program Specialists, three Program Specialists, and one Administrative Assistant. Also, two interns are on board in the department at this time. The Housing Staff will market the programs, take all program applications, verify eligibility, inspect the homes initially to prepare the work write-ups, bid the work, award the contracts to eligible and approved independent contractors, hold loan closings and proceed the work to begin, inspect the work during and at completion by doing a final inspection, have final completion documents signed by homeowner and contractor including "All Bills Paid Affidavit" and "Subs Releases" from contractors, approve invoices for payment, process payments and maintain in-house files as well as provide all required paperwork to the Member Bank and the FHLB. A Report will be set up to track all AHP Grant Funds along with direct benefit client's name, client's address, client's income, % of median, number in household, amount of grant, contractor's name, if rehab case, mortgage company's name, if for down payment and closing cost assistance and any other necessary information. Revised: 1/2002 Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Affordable Housing Program VII. Project Cost Information A. What is the total cost of this project? $3,975,000 B. How does this cost compare to other housing developments in your area? This is a scattered site project to assist low-income applicants in rehabilitating owner occupied housing and with Down Payment and Closing Cost assistance to purchase single family homes. The $3,975,000 consists of CDBG and Section 108 Loan funds from HUD, if the 108 Loan is approved, and will allow us to assist an estimated 120 to 170 families depending on which in house program applicants apply for and are qualified to receive. Some programs have higher amounts of assistance than others do. The $500,000 AHP funds will be used to leverage the other programs or in some cases as a stand-alone grant; thus allowing an additional 105 low-income households to be assisted. Without the AHP funds some households will not qualify for the existing programs the Department has in place due to loan underwriting and payback ability. For grant programs many applicants will be denied due to a lack of funding. The AHP funds would help those that would otherwise be turned down. The $500,000 amount of AHP Grant requested is the maximum allowed due to the fact that the Department always has many more applications than it is able to approve each year for every program that it administers. The $5,000 per case is an average that was determined that would best meet the needs in order to leverage each program and to help more low-income households and individuals. Comparably, with the exception of the Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program, no other organizations offer the same type of programs administered by our department. For the Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program, the eligible costs will be $4,000 per case. C. How did you determine the amount of AHP funds to apply for? The Community Development Department administers several housing programs each year with Community Development Block Grant and Home Entitlement Funds. Because of the population in Lubbock and the need in the Community based on waiting lists and yearly carry-over of people who need assistance, the justification and need is there to apply for the maximum amount allowed under the FHLB AHP. The Barrier Free Program to carry out assistance for handicap accessible type items for example, at the end of September 2000, when our funding year ended, there were 31 people on the list waiting to be assisted. This year, September, 2001, eleven disabled individuals were carried over. At an average of $8,350 per case, this is approximately $92,000 short this year and $258,850 last year of the need for assistance within our fiscal year. FHLB funds would help reach the disabled in our community, which would otherwise not be helped. For the Emergency Repair Program, staff stops taking names after funds are depleted. Funds for assistance is usually depleted in April of each year with the exception of a small set aside for elderly or handicap that need air conditioning assistance during the hot summer months. This means that very low income families needing emergency assistance with water lines, gas lines, hot water heaters, and other serious electrical or plumbing problems go without assistance until the program is funded again October of each year. AHP funds would help fill the gap by providing funds for Emergency Repairs year around. This program was funded $50,000 less this year than last out of CDBG due to other demands on the CDBG Funds. Revised: 1/2002 The Homeowner's Exterior/Energy Efficient Loan Program is anew program that began October of this year. $150,000 in funds is available to assist approximately 15 families with exterior repairs and heating and energy efficiency type items. With the high energy costs of gas this past year that affects heating and electrical, utility bills have risen greatly. Because of high utility costs last year, funds had to be found to help people pay their utility bills through the winter months. This program is designed to reduce some of the high utility cost for the low-income homeowner. The intakes for this program were opened on October 1St' The list has already been closed with 60 owners on the list. Staff is asking people to check back to see if additional funds will be available pending approval/disapproval of this grant application. The FHLB funds would help to bridge this gap. The Section 108 Loan will be to assist people with a 100% payback loan for eligible repairs from minor to major rehab type needs eligible. It is a 100% payback loan because this is a loan from HUD and it is required to be paid back to HUD at 100% plus interest. This grant would help people below 50% of median by leveraging the 108 Loan with a grant, thus lowering the required payment for the low-income homeowner. FHLB funds would fill this gap - Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance is a program to assist people in becoming first time homebuyers. There is always more need than funding availability. People who own a home that is substandard beyond repair need this type of assistance to help them get into a decent, safe and sanitary home. Under our federal regulations, if people live in a substandard home, they can still be considered a first time homebuyer. Two people in the last week have applied for housing programs that need this type of assistance. This program would hopefully help people in these dire need situations move to better quality housing as well as others in rental situations. The Member Bank is also waiving all credit report fees in conjunction with applications to them for this program. Also, with lead base paint regulations, less money is being allocated for Down Payment and Closing Costs to go for lower -price range house purchases. This year, the CDBG funds allocated for Down Payment and Closing Cost assistance are for new construction only because of the lead base paint regulation. This hurts the lower income families because most people in the 50% and lower income category can only afford the lower price range homes that are on the market, not newly constructed homes. $75,000 is all that was funded for Down Payment and Closing Cost assistance out of CDBG Funds for FY 01-02. This will limit the number of low-income families that can be assisted this year to transition from rental housing to being homeowners. The FHLB Grant would help to fill this gap. Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Affordable Housing Program Discuss how you determined the need for the housing outlined in your proposal The City of Lubbock Consolidated Plan for 2000-2003 indicates there is a need for affordable housing in all income categories at of below 80% of median. The Plan also states that there is inadequate federal funding available to adequately serve both renter and owner housing issues. Owner -occupied affordable housing is a high priority in the Consolidated Plan. By increasing homeownership opportunities for the purchase of a home or by assisting homeowners with rehabilitation opportunities, neighborhoods in decline, due to the age of housing and the income level of its residents, begin to see an upward turn in the appearance of their neighborhood. It has a ripple effect in the areas as other residents begin to take pride in their property and Revised: 1/2002 participate in available programs. The last step of this process occurs when private businesses come into the area to take over where federal funds have left off. This Department has administered various Housing Programs since the inception of CDBG in 1974. There has always been more need than funding availability for the types of programs mentioned in our proposal. The programs outlined in the proposal are the standard yearly programs that continue to need funding each year to help the very low-income households in the community with the most dire housing needs. IX. Fair Ho Projects that receive AHP funds must demonstrate how they will promote fair housing. A. Provide a statement indicating that the project will abide by the Fair Housing Act. The City of Lubbock Community Development Department complies with the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and handicap.

Examples could include special market targeting and outreach, alternative media advertising, social service agency referrals, or other similar efforts. Attach a marketing plan, if available. The City of Lubbock C. D. Department does extensive marketing to promote the programs it administers as well as to promote Fair Housing. The Community Development Department houses the Fair Housing Officers for the City of Lubbock. Also, as required by HUD, the C. D. Department is responsible for doing the Impediments to Fair Housing Analysis periodically to assess the impediments in Lubbock. The C. D. Department has developed its own Fair Housing Brochure. Fair Housing is listed on the CD Web Site. Staff also holds and/or attends several housing fairs each year to promote its programs and fair housing. The fair housing logo is used on all brochures. The Fair Housing statement is a part of the City's monthly newsletter and is included in the Grantee Performance Video that is produced by the City every other year. The C. D. Department also participates in the Housing Consortium and an annual Dream Tour to encourage private developers to build "Affordable Housing" in low-income neighborhoods. Fair Housing is promoted at this activity as well. Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Affordable Housing Program X.
