As advertised in the local newspaper on February 202012, apublic hearing was held on March 6, 2012to solicit citizen input regarding the needs and priorities of the City andhow citizens feel that the PY 2012funds should be allocated. The hearing was held in a low and moderate-income neighborhood community center. The Joint Relief Funding Review Committee (JRFRC) held 8public meetings during April and May to review applications from local non-profit agencies for CDBG Public Service funds. Note that the Cities of Bryan and College Station allocate Public Service funds through a joint process as previously approved by HUD. A public notice was placed in the local newspaper on June 15, 2012. The notice summarized the proposed projects and budget; identified the 30-day public comment period from July 2, 2012to August 1,2012, announced the public hearing on July 10, 2012and plannedCityCouncil consideration on June 28, 2012 andAugust 9, 2012, and the location where the public could view and/or obtain a copy of the proposed plan. A draft of the proposed Action Plan was made available in the City's Planning & Development Services Department, Community Development Unit office, City Secretary's Office, Public Library, and at the Lincoln Center, which is located in a primarily low-income area. In addition, information was included on the City’s informational television channel, on the City’s website, and sent to local agencies. The public hearing held on July 10, 2012reviewed the goals, objectives and strategies stated in the Consolidated Plan, the proposed projects and allocations thatare to be carried outin FY2013, and Fair Housing information. Those attending the publichearing were given the opportunity to provide comments regarding the Plan.Public comments received at two Public Hearings and during the public comment period supported the City’s continued 15% CDBG allocation to Public Service Agencies as well as maintained the importance of the strategic planning goals. All comments and suggestions received were considered in the drafting of the Plan. The Plan incorporates public comment by funding activities and projects identified by the public as important or necessary (see U.S. Dept. of HUD CPD Consolidated Plan Listing of Projects).

The maps located in Appendix F illustrate the low and moderate income areas and areas of minority concentration in the City by census tract. Areas of minority concentration are defined as any neighborhood in which the percentage of the households in a particular racial or ethnic minority group is at least 10 percentage points higher than that of the City overall. The 2000 Census indicated the following areas have concentrations ofracial and ethnic minority groups: African American/Black –Tract002002,east of Highway 6 extending outside of the City limits of College Station bounded by State Highway 30, the Brazos County Line, and Rock Prairie Road, Tract 001303,bounded by University Avenue, Texas Avenue, Harvey Road, and Munson Avenue,and Tract 000202, west of Wellborn Road between University Drive and the City limitextending outside of the City limits to north Bryan and the Brazos County line; Asian –Tract 001400, Northgate bounded by Texas Avenue, University Drive, Wellborn Road and the City limit; and Hispanic or Latino –Tract 000202, west of Wellborn Road between University Drive and the City limitextending outside of the City limits to north Bryan and the Brazos County line. The following racial groups have less than a 10% concentration of people in any census tract in College Station: American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or any race combination. Geographic distribution of projects is based on recommendations from citizen, service provider, and City staff input regarding significant needs in the low-income community, specifically in regard to public facility and infrastructure improvements. Acquisition, demolition, and code enforcement activities are designated to low-income areas of the City as identified in the map above. Housing program activities are not limited on a geographical basis, and instead the beneficiary of the housing assistance must be income-qualified. As the needs of the underserved are community-wide, public services are also not geographically defined. There are currently no Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas established by the City. 4.2 Meeting Underserved Needs A primary obstacle to addressing and meeting underserved needs is lack of funding. The City of College Station will continue to explore funding opportunities and work with local for-profit and non-profit providers to prepare funding applications. This cooperation includes Twin City Mission’s applications for Emergency Shelter Grant funds through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and other applications for programs to assist the homeless through vouchers and supportive services. Twin City Mission continues to provide support services to participants in the Home Services Program, the agency’s transitional housing program. 24 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè Another obstacle to meeting underserved needs is the knowledge of services and the lack of education regarding existing services. The City also advertises public services through its media outletsand promotes 2-1-1 Informational Services, which links callers to local agencies.Throughout the program year the City will continue to support local programming serving low-and moderate-income persons through assisting agencies that connect residents to services and publicizing programs that will benefit residents. The Neighborhood Services Coordinator for the City of College Station is now housed with Community Development Staff. Thereis now a more collaborative effort between Community Development, Code Enforcement, Neighborhood Services, and other City staff membersto address identified needs of underserved households in College Station. 25 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè 5.0 Affordable Housing 5.1 Affordable Housing One-year goals for affordable housing activities funded with federal funds provided to the City can be found in Table 3B inthe Appendix. This table includes goals for homeless, non-homeless, special needs, rental assistance, production of new affordable units, rehabilitation of existing owner-occupied units,rehabilitation of existing renter-occupied units. 5.2 Affirmative Marketing In accordance with HOME regulations and to promote affirmative marketing and equal opportunity in housing, the City has procedures to ensure affirmative marketing of units assisted using HOME funds. These are intended to further the objectives of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the Fair Housing Amendments of 1988, Executive Order 11063, and City of College Station's Fair Housing Law contained in City of College Station Fair Housing Ordinance, Chapter 4, Section 12, Code of Ordinances. Owners/managers of HOME subsidized properties using City HOME funds are required to follow affirmative marketing procedures. The City will ensure that owners, managers and residents of HOME-assisted units are informed that the grantee is operating under an established affirmative marketing policy and other applicable housing laws. This policy is included in agreements with owners/managers, and must be promoted in the community through media and other outlets, and be communicated to any respective tenants. Owners/managers of HOME-assisted units shall also affirmatively market their units by advertising vacant units in local newspapers and using other appropriate methods. All forms of program marketing should depict the Equal Housing Opportunity logo-type or slogan and owners of these properties must provide appropriate notification when any units become vacant. As part of their efforts to ensure that available units are affirmatively marketed to persons not likely to apply for such housing, grantees are encouraged to make HOME information available in non-English languages spoken by minority groups residing in or near the community. Furthermore, grantees are encouraged to distribute marketing materials to area social service agencies that work with minorities, disabledindividuals, or other protected groups. 5.3 Minority Outreach& Equal Opportunity In order to ensure compliance with Section-3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, and related regulations at 24 CFR Part 135 specifically,the City adopted a new Section 3 Plan in 2012 that will ensure a focused community-wide effort to promote economic opportunitiesare provided to eligible residents and business concerns when the city awards construction related contracts funded with federal resources.The City of College Station, City of Bryan, Bryan Public Housing Authority, and the Brazos County Workforce Solutions office will work together to maintain a Certified Section 3 Business Concern list and make job opportunities available to Section 3 Residents. All entities will collaborated to hold anannual contractor fairs to better inform local business regarding the requirements and provide technical assistance to those wanting to become certified. The City also maintains a listing of area HUB’s (Historically Underutilized Businesses) to invite to bid on covered projects. 26 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè Prime contractors will not be allowed to subcontract with subcontractors previously found in violation of the regulations and will not execute any subcontract unless the subcontractor has first provided a preliminary statement of ability to comply with the requirements of these regulations. City staff will also perform debarment reviews to ensure that no previously debarred contractors are allowed to participate in projects. 5.4 Public Housing The City of College Station doesnot have Public Housing Units. The Community Development Unit of the Planning and Development Services Department will work with the Brazos Valley Council of Governments to provideSection 8 voucher holders with security deposit assistance and to encourage self-sufficiency. 5.4 Minority Homeowners Figure 6 shows the number of owner occupied housing units in 2010by racial and ethnic minority. According to the U.S. Census. Figure 6: Number of Owner Occupied Homes by Raceand Ethnicityin 2010 African American or Black4593.9% Asian7826.7% White10,02486.2% Some other race3683.2% Total 11,633100% Hispanic or Latino2,71923.4% Source: U.S. Census, 2010. A review of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) informationshows the number of loans originated in specific metropolitan areas. In 2010HMDA reported that 16.7% of the 2,224home-purchase loans originated for 1 to 4 family and manufactured home dwellings in the College Station-Bryan M.S.A. were to minorities (identified as non white) and 9% to Hispanics or Latinos. It is estimated that about 50% of the loans in the College Station-Bryan M.S.A. were originated for homes within the city limits of College Station. Thenumberof loans originatedis estimated to remain steady in 2012 and 2013, and therefore, there is likely to be 186minorities and 100 Hispanic and Latinos originating loans for College Station dwellings. This data does not reveal whether these homes are owner or renter occupied and therefore will not illustrate the estimated number of new ethnic or racial minority households that will become homeowners within the next year.However, it is a good estimate to compare with the Census data above to illustrate the number of home transactions involving minorities. The following Figure 7 shows the number of renter households by race and ethnicity in 2010. There are many more minority households that rent than own homes in College Station. Figure 7: Number Renter Households by Race and Ethnicity in 2010 African American or Black1,9538.3% Asian2,43710.4% White17,37474.2% Some other race1,6407.0% Total23,404100% Hispanic or Latino7,70532.9% Source: U.S. Census, 2010. 27 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè 5.5Barriers to Affordable Housing Various barriers to affordable housing were identified in the 2010 –2014 Consolidated Plan. Barriers listed include the potential for higher ad valorem property tax rates, strict building and land use codes, the high cost of land and development, and thehigh cost of interim financing. The City will continue to work to address the high development costs in order to reduce the burden to affordable housing developers, homebuyers, and tenants. The following are recommendations to ameliorate barriers to affordable housing in the City of College Station: First, it is recommended that the City continue to hold down ad valorem property tax rates through sound fiscal management and economic development. It is also recommended that the City continue its policy of soliciting input from the public and working closely with the development community to keep zoning and land use regulations as well as development and building fees to those which are reasonable and necessary. The City will engage lenders and other financial institutions and build partnerships to advance affordable housing efforts in the community. The City will continue to increase awareness of community needs and affordable housing activities in the community by educating citizens. The City will work with for-profit and non-profit developers to leverage resources available for affordable housing. Finally, it is recommended that the City promote and carryout education about financial management, home buying, and homeownership to eliminate the barrier for low-and moderate- income households to achieve homeownership. The Community Development Unit will continue to hold homebuyer education programs on a one–on-one basis to ensure maximum client benefit. Staff developed a home ownership education course and offered it as a pilot program to City staff. Twelve (12) people participated in the first session. Due to the success with the pilot program, the course was offered community-wide and 15attended. This course will be offered on a quarterlybasis throughout the year in anticipation of serving at least 5 people per quarter. 28 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè 6.0 Homeless and Other Special Needs 6.1 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities In 2010-2011, the City of College Station plans to address homelessness and other special needs through the following activities and resources: While the City is not entitled to directly receive Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds from HUD, it does cooperate with and provide technical assistance to local non-profit agencies for such funds through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and other funding agencies. Due to the high cost of the rental market driven by student demand, Tenant Based Rental Assistance is important for low-income households on the path to achieving self-sufficiency. The City will make Security Deposit Assistance available to supportpermanent supportive housing, transitional housing, or permanent housing for the homelessthrough the Housing Tax Credit Properties in College Station. Additionally, the City will partner with the Brazos Valley Council of Governments Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) to provide security deposit assistance to Section 8 voucher holders in College Station.The HCV currently prioritizes homeless households and places them at the top of the waiting list. Vouchers are issued to these households upon availability. Listed below are the Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties that provide reduced rent or accept Section 8 vouchers for special needs groups, including homeless, elderly, handicapped, mentally impaired, and low to moderate-income individuals. Average occupancy rate for all units is 92% (Source: Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and apartment management staff). Figure 8.

This Committee continues to meet and, due to increased collaboration among agencies, has become the Brazos Valley Coalition for the Homeless (BVCH) with the assistance of the Texas Homeless Network. The City continues to provide technical assistance to area non-profits. Due to the increase in both individual and family homeless numbersidentified through the point in time homeless count completed in January 2012, the City will encourage non-profit developers to consider developing additional transitional housing units for individuals and families. The Request for Proposal for CHDO reserve funds will include soliciting proposals that includethe development of new and/or rehabilitated affordable rental units for individual and families transitioning froma homeless situation to a stable living environment. 6.2 Anti-Poverty Strategy The city, through its Joint Relief Funding Review Committee (JRFRC), provides the maximum allowable PSA (Public Service Agency) funding through its CDBG grant allocations to address poverty in the community. The JRFRCreceived and reviewed eleven(11)applications from local providers of health and human services for CDBG funding of direct public services to low-and moderate-income residents of Bryan and College Station. Multiple public meetings and public hearings were held by the JRFRC between April andMay. The JRFRC recommended funding for all eleven(11)public service programs;five(5) programs will be funded by the City of College Station, five(5) will be funded by the City of Bryan, and one (1) program will receive funding from each City. The City of College Station will also provide CDBG funding for two (2) additional public service programsadministered by City staff in other departments. These two programsprovide child care and educational programming forchildren from lower-income families of College Station.

The City’s Executive Director of Planning & DevelopmentServicesis designated by this Action Plan to serve as the City’s Certifying Officer for environmental review requirements. To ensure compliance with NEPA and HUD environmental regulations (24 CFR Part 58), the City complies with prescribed environment review requirements as noted below. A project binder titled "NEPA Clearance and Authorization to Commit Federal Funds" is maintained in Community Development staff’s offices. This binder contains individual Environmental Review Record (ERR) Coversheets documenting environmental clearance for each CDBG and HOME funded activity. Documents certifying NEPA clearance are the responsibility of the Community Developmentstaff. The necessary documents, as required by activity for ERR clearance, are placed in project files by the Community Development staff prior to commencement of project activities or commitment of funds. A copy of the ERR Coversheet documenting environmental clearance is forwarded to the Community Development staff. Staff members responsible to request purchase orders and process payments for program expenses ensure that no federal funds are committed nor expended on an activity prior to receipt of anERR Coversheet verifying project eligibility under NEPA for that activity. Activities defined as Categorically Excluded (24 Sec. 58.35) and reverting to Exempt, will be so documented. Projects with environmental conditions triggering the need for a fullFormat II Environmental Assessment will have a completed ERR and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) will have been published and a Request for Release of Funds (RROF) received prior to commitment of funds. An ERR Coversheet is prepared for each project which includes the type activity, project name and description, grant and year and approval to proceed. Other required ERR documents are attached to the coversheet. Following is a list of the required ERR clearances and documents typically requiredfor the various CDBG and HOME funded activities. 31 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè Figure 9.

The City continues to proceed with the plans and actions outlined in that section of the Consolidated Plan, and, in an effort to gauge the potential problem with elevated lead blood levels, staff monitors information from the Texas Department of Health’s Environmental Lead Branch related to testing and results for children in the Bryan –College Station MSA. The most current information related to this elevated blood lead levels in local children is found in the following table -Texas Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. The information shows that, out of 259 children tested, less than 5 had elevated lead levels as compared to14 for the entire county. The City’s goals and objectives will continue to be utilized to address this issue and other opportunities to reduce lead-based paint hazards will be explored. 33 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè Texas Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program *Counts for unduplicated children under 15 years of age at time of test.

The City will coordinate with and provide support to other entities that either directly or indirectly help in accomplishing Consolidated Plan goals locally. Organizations having contractual agreements with the City will be monitored as outlined below. Other entities contributing to Consolidated Plan endeavors, but not receiving CDBG/HOME funds from the City, will be supported and encouraged as appropriate. City staff will participate in coordination efforts among local health and social service providers to help further Consolidated Plan goals and objectives. The City executed a non-financial agreement with the Brazos Valley Council of Governments for the intake processing, rental unit inspections, and information management of Section 8 Voucher holderswho will apply for and receive TBRA Security Deposit Assistance from the City’s program. Additional, the City will work to execute contracts with all HTC properties in College Station to provide Security Deposit Assistance to their eligible tenants. 35 ùÓÈÃÍÖùÍÐÐ×Õ×éÈÛÈÓÍÎ ìã ûÎÎÇÛÐûÙÈÓÍÎìÐÛÎøêûöè 9.0Program Monitoring The City of College Station Monitoring Plan will consist of three reviews: 9.1 Internal Review of City Programs Formsused in the implementation of community development programs and constitute legal instruments, such as contracts, will be approved by the City Attorney prior to their use. Other necessary forms will be developed and approved by the Community Development staff in compliance with all applicable regulations.

A secondary goal of monitoring is to obtain ongoing data for use in identifying needs and for program reporting. Evaluations will summarize monitoring findings and program goals and measure progress toward those goals during the provision of services. All sub- recipients will be monitored at least once a year. Currently, the City's CHDO is required to provide a written report of its activities on a bi-annual basis and staff monitors the agency twice annually.
