CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes

Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

The City continued to work toward stabilizing the physical infrastructure of older neighborhoods, especially in Southeast Arvada, the Ralston Fields

urban Renewal area, and Olde Town Arvada utilizing varied City resources and urban renewal resources.EHR bank loans completed in the 2016 with a

total expenditure of $209,086. 38 program applications processed and 20 cases approved for assistance in this time frame. 92 households on EHR

Program waiting list for assistance at end of 2016. Program evaluation process continuing and responses received in 2016 indicating very good

program ratings from participants with City Staff satisfaction rating at 100% on all rated factors. The Marcella Manor assisted seniors only housing

project is located at 6555 Schneider Way just east of Arvada Senior High School. Only very low income senior citizens occupy the project receiving

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program rent assistance so they have an affordable place to call home. This project of 206 one bedroom units has

provided a valuable source of affordable housing in Arvada for very low income seniors since 1977. In 2016 when the project was placed up for sale,

City staff in the Community Development Department and Security Properties worked together to see how the City could assist Security Properties

which was committed to retaining the project as affordable housing for very low income seniors and making a large number of needed improvements.

Security Properties had approached the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) about obtaining approximately $22,000,000 in financing for their

acquisition and rehabilitation costs for the project. In turn, CHFA was interested if the City would consider assigning its 2016 allocation of private

activity bonding (PAB) authority to help move the project forward. In April the City council approved the transfer of $5,666,300 in City PAB after

Security Properties completed their purchase in February. All the work will be completed by the end of 2016 with a few items that will remain to be

completed early in 2017. The public/private sector collaborative effort has resulted in the retention of a vital affordable housing development for low

income elderly residents that has undergone a host of needed improvements that will certainly make this home more comfortable, safe, and livable for

all its residents.In September 2016, city council approved Safe and Accessible Arvada, a project aimed at renovating the homes of Arvada’s low-income,

elderly and disabled residents to increase “visitability” — the measurement of an environment’s ease of access for a person with limited mobility. The

city has partnered with Brothers Redevelopment Inc., a Denver-based nonprofit dedicated to providing housing-related services for low-income

residents in the Denver metro area.$75,000 expended for 2016 CDBG funded Human Services. 25,407 separate instances of service or assistance

provided to persons or households reported through services using CDBG funding in 2016. The City has sponsored with CHAC in 2016 and local realtors

evening homebuyer education classes held at the Ann Campbell Room of the City Municipal Building that have had full attendance since their inception

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,

giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

Strategic Plan to Date Accomplishments represent total results through 2015 plus annual accomplishments in 2016. In 2016, the City of Arvada utilized

CDBG funds to assist various agencies in providing vital services to low and moderate income Arvada citizens. End of year reporting reveals that Arvada

CDBG funding was utilized, most often in cooperation with local non-profit organizations. The Human Services Advisory Committee reviewed requests

for assistance for 2016 and allocated funding upon action by the Arvada City Council to applicants totaling the entire budgeted amount of $75,000

from CDBG and $135,000 from City Funds. The City continued to use Community Development Block Grant Funds for funding most of the cost for the

Essential Home Repairs Program especially regarding low income homeowners and renewed its leveraged assistance from FirstBank for its 3% and 0%

loan program. An overall evaluation of the progress the City has made in 2016 relative to the goals and objectives contained in the City Consolidated

Plan indicated the City is making substantial and marked progress on those items as listed in other sections of this report. 2016 saw an extensive array

of efforts and accomplishments the City made toward accomplishing its Consolidated Plan. In certain areas Strategic Plan Goals were too optimistic

anticipating a higher level of Federal funding support which did not materialize or private for or non-profit activity that did not occur. EHR Program

Leveraging

Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The City continued the Human Services Advisory Committee and funded it again in 2016 with $135,000 in City and CDBG funds for the Human Services

that will be used to provide assistance to non-profit public service groups to provide assistance to an array of special needs clients in the

City. Additional actions included allocation of other City funding for the Essential Home Repairs and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Programs as well

as reserving funds for targeted improvements to a low/moderate income neighborhood area for infrastructure improvements. Additional funds

allocated to cover partial costs for the Healthy Place Grant Coordinator and for selected Human Services in cooperation with outside agencies serving

Arvada residents. The City continued to work toward stabilizing the physical infrastructure of older neighborhoods, especially in Southeast Arvada, the

Ralston Fields urban Renewal area, and Olde Town Arvada utilizing varied City resources and urban renewal resources. The City has provided City

funding to support the Community Wheels Program through the Seniors Resource Center. That funding has allowed for two buses to circulate in the

community to assist the elderly and disabled to secure transportation and access to shopping, doctors’ appointments, lunch programs, etc. The City is a

supporter of the Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI). The City has been supportive of the joint efforts through this valuable effort. In

2016, the City consistently found applicable notifications of funding applications by homeless service providers to be consistent with the City

Consolidated Plan and those findings were submitted when requested as documentation for funding applications made by MDHI.In September 2016,

city council approved Safe and Accessible Arvada, a project aimed at renovating the homes of Arvada’s low-income, elderly and disabled residents to

increase “visitability” — the measurement of an environment’s ease of access for a person with limited mobility. The city has partnered with Brothers

Redevelopment Inc., a Denver-based nonprofit dedicated to providing housing-related services for low-income residents in the Denver metro area. In

2016 when the Marcella Manor project was placed up for sale, City staff in the Community Development Department and Security Properties worked

together to see how the City could assist Security Properties which was committed to retaining the project as affordable housing for very low income

seniors and making a large number of needed improvements. Security Properties had approached the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA)

about obtaining approximately $22,000,000 in financing for their acquisition and rehabilitation costs for the project. In turn, CHFA was interested if

the City would consider assigning its 2016 allocation of private activity bonding (PAB) authority to help move the project forward. In April the City

CAPER 11


Attachments to the CAPER 2016 provides a summary of the number of households and persons assisted through the CDBG funded activities in

2016. The primary housing programs the City has provided includes the Essential Home Repairs Program and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher

Program. The average number of clients to be assisted through the Section 8 Program is difficult to predict given the unstable and uncertain nature of

the Federal program appropriations process which is normally severely delayed in providing funding commitments for the program and the lack of

certainty as to what those funding levels will be. The waiting list for the program is close to 4,000 and this was reflected in the One-Year Goal but

turnover rates and funding restrictions do not allow the PHA to meet this non-homeless housing goal. The Essential Home Repairs Program was close

but did not reach its goal for 2016 since the voluntary nature and diverse and wide ranging nature and needs of units for program clients can

significantly impact program utilization during the year. The CHAC homebuyer assistance program has assisted 7 households in providing down

payment and closing cost assistance to first time qualified low and moderate income homebuyers with non CDBG resources. City staff in the

Community Development Department and Security Properties worked together to see how the City could assist Security Properties which was

committed to retaining the Marcella Manor project as affordable housing for very low income seniors and making a large number of needed

improvements. All the work will be completed by the end of 2016 with a few items that will remain to be completed early in 2017. The public/private

sector collaborative effort has resulted in the retention of a vital affordable housing development for low income elderly residents that has undergone

a host of needed improvements that will certainly make this home more comfortable, safe, and livable for all its residents. The collaborative program

for Bridges to Opportunity had 14 homeless or at risk of homelessness clients enrolled by year end while the new City Safe and Accessible Arvada

program in collaboration with Brothers Redevelopment has an initial 2 clients progressing for assistance through the program.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

These outcomes will continue to require conservative approaches and estimates regarding outcomes in future years given the continuing uncertainty

in Federal funding levels anticipated for these programs. Future Annual Action Plans will now also include goals for assistance through the Bridges to

Opportunity Program for the homeless or those at risk of homelessness and the Safe and Accessible Arvada Program that was initiated by the City in

2016.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Table 7 – Number of Persons Served

Narrative Information

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program provides vital rental subsidy assistance to only extremely low income households but is not CDBG

funded. Anticipated severe reductions in funding for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program will lead to a reduction in the number of very low

income households assisted through this vital program in the City. The Essential Home Repairs Program provides assistance primarily through CDBG

entitlement funds, program income from loan repayments and through loans made in collaboration with a local lender. The continuing past and

proposed erosion in funding provided through the CDBG will negatively impact the capability of the City to address its waiting list of low and moderate

income homeowners who have requested assistance through the Essential Home Repairs Program. CDBG has provided essential support to three

public services that provided an extensive array of assistance to a large number of low and moderate income households and persons during the year

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs

The City is a supporter of the Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI). The City has been supportive of the joint efforts through this valuable

effort. In 2016, the City consistently found applicable notifications of funding applications by homeless service providers to be consistent with the City

Consolidated Plan and those findings were submitted when requested as documentation for funding applications made by MDHI.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

The Arvada Housing Authority (AHA) and the Arvada Community Food Bank (ACFB) entered into an agreement through 2016 for the ACFB’s Bridges to

Opportunity Program will provide self-sufficiency services to 25 of the Housing Authority’s Section 8 families. The services offered by this program can

help Section 8 families move beyond basic survival to reaching their highest individual potential of self-sufficiency. The target group for this program is

homeless clients, clients at risk of becoming homeless and clients who are paying extraordinarily high housing costs that jeopardizes their ability to

meet other basic needs. The Bridges to Opportunity staff will identify these clients through an intake process and then refer the clients to the Housing

Authority for a Housing Choice Voucher.

The Arvada Housing Authority continued in 2016 an agreement with Colorado Homeless Families to support its self-sufficiency program with the

allocation of a total of 25 Section Housing Choice Program Vouchers directly designated to that program. That allocation has allowed Colorado

Homeless Families to increase its cash flow to allow for expansion of its facilities and to provide a coordinated self-sufficiency program to its clients.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and

those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving

assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

Energy Outreach Colorado (EOC): The City of Arvada receives a grant to provide financial assistance with Xcel bills to Arvada residents who are at risk

of having their electric and/or gas service disconnected. This is especially crucial for households at risk of homelessness. Financial assistance is made

available to help those behind in paying their gas and/or electric bill because of adverse one-time circumstances in their lives such as illness, loss of job.

or high medical bills.

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

A new extensive list of Community Resources was designed and added to the City website to assist and provide information to disadvantaged

households. That list includes links and contact information for Fair Housing CO-HUD as well as varied resources regarding, “Housing, Shelters, Hotel

Vouchers, Rental Assistance” of most importance to the homeless or those in danger of homelessness. Robert Oates of the “Back Home SSVF” program

through the Volunteers of America invited to make a presentation regarding issues regarding homeless veterans and the services his organization

provided to City staff meeting. A link also added to City website regarding the program.

1. 1. The revised City Comprehensive Plan includes Goal N-4: Provide opportunities for special needs and senior housing in Arvada. N-4.1 Special Needs

Housing The City will encourage the provision of quality special needs housing throughout the community. The provision of such housing will be in

accordance with proper sizing, location, and design to meet the particular needs of the group involved. Goal E-3: Facilitate development of human

Accessible Arvada, a project aimed at renovating the homes of Arvada’s low-income, elderly and disabled residents to increase “visitability” — the

measurement of an environment’s ease of access for a person with limited mobility. The city has partnered with Brothers Redevelopment Inc., a

Denver-based nonprofit dedicated to providing housing-related services for low-income residents in the Denver metro area. The City typically installs

or replaces ADA ramps around the City. 87 ramps were installed or replaced in 2016. The cost per ramp varies a lot and the estimated cost for the

ramps. The cost for the ADA ramps replaced in 2016 was approximately $115,000. ADA ramps are replaced on an as-needed basis. In locations where

sidewalks with ADA ramps are missing, they're added whenever a parcel of land is redeveloped, as a condition of approval by the City. New

developments are required to have ADA ramps at all corners and crosswalk locations. The City convened a meeting in October 2016 with the President

of FirstBank to discuss varied aspects of housing and community development in the City regarding the needs of low/moderate income households and

special needs populations. Several items including addressing information and initiatives in the City Executive Summary of the Analysis of Impediments

to Fair Housing Choice and the Fair Housing Action Plan Matrix. Information was requested new efforts by FirstBank (and potentially other local

lenders) to affirmatively address the provision of housing assistance or credit to persons with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, and non-English

speakers in the City. FirstBank indicated it would:• Provide the City a report of the examples of efforts taken by FirstBank to reach the low to moderate

income populations as well as the Latino and Asian populations in Arvada – In progress. We will have something for you by early first quarter 2017.

The Division instituted its new name (Housing Preservation and Resources) and has drafted and inserted data for performance measures, efficiency

measures, demand measures, and output measures as needed into the MFR Live. The new budgeting and accounting structures for the FOCUS system

have been implemented in cooperation with the Finance Department and the CMO. Division staff have prepared information as needed and

participated in scheduled MFR and STAT meetings with primary City staff administering or implementing the FOCUS system. The City and the Arvada

Housing Authority encouraged and provided for individualized training to employees as necessary to make more appropriate and efficient use of the

Community Development Block Grant for housing rehabilitation. The City has continued to retain in the City Manager’s Office a community relations

coordinator who works on a variety of efforts to assist needy persons and that employee continues operation of the Human Services fund. The City

continued to work with private lenders within the City to help address housing rehabilitation needs. The City pursued actions through professional

associations such as the National Association of Housing Redevelopment Officials and other associations as appropriate to amend or change Federal

law or regulations to make these Federal housing resources more flexible, to provide for an independent stuffy of the added costs resulting from

regulations, and to work to provide full additional Federal funding to meet these federal mandates. In 2016, the City collaborated with the Office of

Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) and completed a new Limited English Proficiency Analysis to determine action steps required by Grantee to

fully comply with its LEP obligations. The City completed the appropriate four-factor analysis to assess the extent of their obligation to provide LEP

services along with the Language Assistance Plan in 2016.The city’s continued effort to address homelessness was part of a 2016 City Council Strategic

Plan retreat. The Police Department was originally designated to lead this effort and provide a progress report during the second quarter of 2016. On

March 7, police department staff held a stakeholder meeting. Attendees included Family Tree, Going Home and several community members

interested in the issue. The purpose of our meeting was to discuss what the community leaders should focus on, determine priorities, assign

responsibility and work toward execution.

The city designed and has continued funding and commitment in 2016 to its effort with local lenders and CHAC for the Arvada Homebuyer Assistance

Program which assists income qualified borrowers to purchase a home in the city. Areas with older homes would be a focus for these homebuyers, to

add local investment and stability to these neighborhoods. In September 2016, city council approved Safe and Accessible Arvada, a project aimed at

Vouchers, Rental Assistance” of most importance to the homeless or those in danger of homelessness. The City is a supporter of the Metropolitan

Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI). The City has been supportive of the joint efforts through this valuable effort. In 2016, the City consistently found

applicable notifications of funding applications by homeless service providers to be consistent with the City Consolidated Plan and those findings were

submitted when requested as documentation for funding applications made by MDHI.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing

choice. 91.520(a)

The Review by FHEO of the City 2015 CAPER stated, “FHEO has determined that Grantee is currently a low risk. It is clear from this submission that

Grantee is fully aware of its responsibilities to affirmatively further fair housing and is actively engaged in taking actions to address identified

impediments. In addition, Grantee has addressed many of the concerns highlighted in previous FHEO CAPER reviews. Grantee provided specific

information about its affirmative outreach efforts to encourage participation by persons in protected classes in the CAPER preparation

process. Grantee provided a narrative as an attachment to the CAPER discussing the various actions the City took during PY 2015 to address the

impediments identified in the AI. Grantee also included some quantitative results of those actions that demonstrate the measurable impact of

implemented actions for people in protected classes. The City has assembled data including reported data for Disabled/Handicapped and female Head

households in an attachment to the 2016 CAPER as requested. The City has undertaken an extensive and large number of actions to overcome the

effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice in 2016 and these are attached as

I. Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and Fair Housing Action Plan

Actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice in 2016

ACTION ITEM NO. 1—Improve the housing environment for people with disabilities. Maintain a list of resources on city websites (or link to state websites maintained by CHFA and the Division of Housing and/or similar organizations) for people with disabilities—for example, information about rights concerning service animals, reasonable accommodations procedures, list accessible housing. To the degree resources are available, continue to support nonprofit organizations that assist persons with disabilities find accessible housing, make accessibility improvements/reasonable accommodations, and develop accessible, affordable housing. Encourage the production of “visitable,” accessible, and affordable housing by private sector developers. Possible examples include: visitability ordinances (already adopted by Arvada), offering accessibility modifications as part of home repair programs (currently in place), exploring fee waivers and/or expedited review for affordable, accessible housing developments and/or donating land for such developments. ACTIONS TAKEN REGARDING LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN In 2016, the City collaborated with the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) and completed a new Limited English Proficiency Analysis to determine action steps required by Grantee to fully comply with its LEP obligations. The City completed the appropriate four-factor analysis to assess the extent of their obligation to provide LEP services along with the Language Assistance Plan in 2016. The Language Assistance Plan provided the City would:

Translate vital primary program documents into Spanish

o The four factor assessment provided guidance for Arvada to provide meaningful access. While Spanish speakers who speak English “less than very well” only comprise 1.1% of the population, they do minimally exceed the 1,000 person “safe harbor” threshold.

CAPER 37


o The Housing Preservation and Resources Division and Housing Authority prepared and completed necessary written translations of vital program documents translated into Spanish for its primary programs through which it comes into contact with the general public in terms of beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries, including a translated written posted notice of the right to receive free oral interpretation for the primary programs utilizing program Federal funding made available for this purpose.

Establish Access to Translation Resources

o Arvada identified in 2016 has eight staff persons that speak Spanish, two that speak Russian, one that speaks French, one that speaks Hmong, and one that speaks Polish. As LEP Spanish speakers and LEP Russian speakers are the two largest LEP language groups in the City’s service area, providing reasonable assistance to those persons, so long as such assistance does not interfere with those employee’s primary work responsibilities, should be able to be accomplished by existing City staff members. The Arvada Housing Preservation and Resources Division and Housing Authority will consider establishment of access to such a translation line such as the Interpreter Network of Colorado and the Asian Pacific Development Center if necessary if the use of Arvada resources indicated above is not sufficient.

o The Arvada Housing Preservation and Resources Division and Housing Authority prepared and now can utilize ass needed an “American Sign Language Fingerspelling Alphabet” at the Front Counter for use as needed.

Make “I Speak” Cards Readily Available

o The Arvada Housing Preservation and Resources Division and Housing Authority prepared and now provides “I Speak” cards in Spanish. In addition the Housing Preservation and Resources Division and Housing Authority will consider making “I Speak” cards available in significant languages used by LEP persons encountered in its service area.

Advise LEP Persons of the Availability of Free Oral Interpretive Services

o Arvada took steps to notify LEP persons of the significant population of the availability of free oral interpretive services, through posting notices in the lobby of the Housing Preservation and Resources Division and its conference room, in the language of the significant population.

o In addition, Arvada currently in 2016 has staff persons that speak Spanish, Russian, French, Hmong, and Polish. As LEP Spanish

speakers and LEP Russian speakers are the two largest LEP language groups in the City’s service area, providing reasonable assistance to those persons, so long as such assistance does not interfere with those employee’s primary work responsibilities, should be able to be accomplished by existing City staff members.

OTHER RELATED ACTIONS TAKEN

4. DISABLED RESIDENTS ARVADA EMERGENCY SERVICES DISPATCH SYSTEM - Special Assistance service for residents that are hearing impaired, vision impaired, and mobility impaired.

When an emergency occurs, a fast appropriate response is critical to a successful outcome. The Arvada Police Department, Arvada Fire Protection District, and Pridemark Ambulance Service may be able to deal more effectively with an emergency when additional information about the victim is provided. The City of Arvada collects information related to special assistance requirements for Arvada citizens. Information is sent to dispatchers for these three agencies and entered into the computer dispatch system; it is made available to response teams in case of an emergency. This information is updated annually by the City of Arvada.

CAPER 39


5. A new extensive list of Community Resources was designed and added to the City website in 2016 to assist and provide information to

disadvantaged households.

6. The Housing Resources and Preservation Division and the Housing Authority maintains and provides a list of assisted and affordable housing located in the City that includes those that have handicapped access.

7. Jefferson County (including the City of Arvada and the City & County of Broomfield emergency services agencies, including law enforcement, fire and EMS, have launched in 2015 THAT CONTINUES IN 2016 a Text to 911 service. Most cell phone carriers now have the technology to make this available. Major carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile have made this available. “We are rolling out this service to better serve our communities, but with the motto, ‘Call if you can, text if you must,’” said Vicki Pickett, director of 9-1-1 Communications at Arvada Police Department. A text sent to 9-1-1 will go to emergency dispatchers who are logged in to a secure website to see the message. If you are in a service area where texting is not available, you will be sent a bounce-back text alerting you. At that point, you will need to call 9-1-1. Like cell phone calls to 9-1-1, dispatchers will not know your exact location. The location service for texting is even broader than with cell phones which make pinpointing an exact location more difficult. So if you are texting your emergency, it is important to include your location and the nature of your emergency as part of the first message. While calling 9-1-1 is the preferred method of contact, making Text to 9-1-1 available is important for when calling is not a viable or safe option. This service will be very useful to those who are hard of hearing, deaf or speech-impaired.

8. The Arvada Housing Authority provided in 2016 a WEBSITE Information insert under the Housing Choice Voucher Program regarding

Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities:

If you or a person in your household is a person with a disability and needs a reasonable accommodation in order to fully participate in the

Housing Choice Voucher program, please contact the Arvada Housing Authority at 720-898-7494 or TDD 303-424-9379.

ACTION ITEM NO. 2—Continue efforts to increase the supply of affordable housing and homeless resources in all areas of Jefferson County. Explore standard incentives for affordable housing development. The city currently has a provision whereby the payment of certain city fees can be delayed (e.g., from being due at the time of a building permit issuance to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy). Incentives like this should continue. The city should encourage Arvada financial institutions to provide educational and counseling classes to desired homebuyers. ACTIONS TAKEN

1. The city designed and has continued funding and commitment in 2016 to its effort with local lenders and CHAC for the Arvada Homebuyer Assistance Program which assists income qualified borrowers to purchase a home in the city. Areas with older homes would be a focus for these homebuyers, to add local investment and stability to these neighborhoods. If this effort is successful, it should continue as part of this action item.

2. In September 2016, city council approved Safe and Accessible Arvada, a project aimed at renovating the homes of Arvada’s low-income, elderly

and disabled residents to increase “visitability” — the measurement of an environment’s ease of access for a person with limited mobility. The

city has partnered with Brothers Redevelopment Inc., a Denver-based nonprofit dedicated to providing housing-related services for low-

income residents in the Denver metro area.

“We know there is a large aging population in Arvada and [these residents] want to stay in Arvada,” said Jason McCullough, manager of the

Home Maintenance and Repair Department of Brothers Redevelopment. “It’s a great place to live and they don’t want to leave especially with

the housing market how it is. It’s very difficult to replace existing housing if you have mobility issues. This is a good program to alleviate that

problem.”

The project will install features such as wider doors, wider hallways, bathroom grab bars, roll-in showers, stairway railings, levered door

handles, no-step entries and ramps that will aid residents with impaired mobility. “The demographic for 55 [years of age] and over is the

largest in Jefferson County right now,” McCullough said. “The sooner we can get there and outfit these homes and make sure they’re safe, the

less falls you’re going to have, the less emergency room calls, it’s going to increase the visitability for all of Arvada.”

CAPER 41


Safe and Accessible Arvada is replacing an ordinance that was adopted by the city in September 2005. The ordinance required homebuilders in

Arvada to construct a certain percentage of homes with visitability features. However, homebuilders were also given the option to opt out by

making a payment to the city in lieu of building such houses. Payments made through July 2015 left the city with approximately $500,000 in

opt-out fees. This leftover money is now funding Safe and Accessible Arvada. The project is grant-based, not requiring clients to pay for

services provided. “Very often the households we will be working with may not be in a position financially to pay back the assistance that was

provided,” said Edward Talbot, manager of the city’s Housing Preservation and Resources Division. “The intention is to help people with the

structural elements in their home without structuring this as a loan program.”

Because the program is grant-based, the city estimates the money will run out within five years — give or take client volume and success rates

— and the program will expire. The city will reevaluate the program after a year and make adjustments if needed. Regarding whether the city

will develop a new ordinance or program once Safe and Accessible Arvada ends, Talbot said, “I can’t make an assurance one way or the other

because a program like this needs a source of funding. But it will be interesting to monitor how people are being benefitted in the community

and based on that real demonstrated need, its operation, its success and its degree of helping the community, the question could come up,

‘Should we continue this in some way?’ ”

For the first year of this project, Brothers Redevelopment was allocated $75,000 and each home could qualify for up to $5,000 in renovations.

Their goal is to complete 15 homes within the first year. Residents must apply to receive assistance from Safe and Accessible Arvada and

maintain an income that is less than 80 percent of area median income. Renters may also apply to receive assistance but must have the

homeowner’s consent and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

“I think the homeowners who take advantage of this are going to love it,” said Jeff Martinez, president of Brothers Redevelopment Inc.

“Brothers is a long-established and trusted nonprofit housing provider that has worked to enhance mobility for thousands of residents across

the state. I think [the city of Arvada is] really going to value the program and be pleased with the results.”

3. The city’s continued effort to address homelessness was part of a 2016 City Council Strategic Plan retreat. The Police Department was originally designated to lead this effort and provide a progress report during the second quarter of 2016. On March 7, police department staff held a stakeholder meeting. Attendees included Family Tree, Going Home and several community members interested in the issue. The purpose of our meeting was to discuss what the community leaders should focus on, determine priorities, assign responsibility and work toward execution.

4. The revised City Comprehensive Plan includes:

Goal N-4: Provide opportunities for special needs and senior housing in Arvada.

CAPER 42


a. N-4.1 Special Needs Housing

The City will encourage the provision of quality special needs housing throughout the community. The provision of such housing will be in accordance with proper sizing, location, and design to meet the particular needs of the group involved.

Goal E-3: Facilitate development of human resources b. E-3.1 Human Services

Arvada will work with partners to facilitate necessary human services, including but not limited to: homeless shelters, transitional housing, teen and youth activities, satellite police stations, correctional facilities, senior housing, neighborhood community centers, medical facilities, as well as hospice and day-care facilities.

5. The City is a supporter of the Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI). The City has been supportive of the joint efforts through this

valuable effort. In 2016, the City consistently found applicable notifications of funding applications by homeless service providers to be consistent with the City Consolidated Plan and those findings were submitted when requested as documentation for funding applications made by MDHI.

6. The Arvada Housing Authority continued in 2016 an agreement with Colorado Homeless Families to support its self-sufficiency program with

the allocation of a total of 25 Section Housing Choice Program Vouchers directly designated to that program. That allocation has allowed Colorado Homeless Families to increase its cash flow to allow for expansion of its facilities and to provide a coordinated self-sufficiency program to its clients.

7. Energy Outreach Colorado (EOC): The City of Arvada receives a grant to provide financial assistance with Xcel bills to Arvada residents who are at risk of having their electric and/or gas service disconnected. This is especially crucial for households at risk of homelessness. Financial assistance is made available to help those behind in paying their gas and/or electric bill because of adverse one-time circumstances in their lives such as illness, loss of job. or high medical bills.

8. The Marcella Manor assisted seniors only housing project is located at 6555 Schneider Way just east of Arvada Senior High School. Only very low income senior citizens occupy the project receiving Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program rent assistance so they have an affordable place to call home. This project of 206 one bedroom units has provided a valuable source of affordable housing in Arvada for very low income seniors since 1977. In 2016 when the project was placed up for sale, the City was concerned and committed to work with any purchaser so that the property would remain as a quality affordable assisted housing resource for seniors. City staff in the Community Development Department and Security Properties worked together to see how the City could assist Security Properties which was committed to retaining the project as affordable

CAPER 43


housing for very low income seniors and making a large number of needed improvements. Security Properties had approached the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) about obtaining approximately $22,000,000 in financing for their acquisition and rehabilitation costs for the project. In turn, CHFA was interested if the City would consider assigning its 2016 allocation of private activity bonding (PAB) authority to help move the project forward. In April the City council approved the transfer of $5,666,300 in City PAB after Security Properties completed their purchase in February. Security Properties quickly moved to commence and complete the extensive $10,000,000 renovation of the housing complex including:

Energy efficient siding and windows replacement

New rooftop photovoltaic 153 Kw system

Renovation of all 206 residential units

Parking lot resurface & regrading

Backup elevator generators

Renovation of Hallways

ADA additions & improvements, automatic entrance doors, eleven ADA units

Reconstruction of entry area, resident business center & lounge, and offices

All the work will be completed by the end of 2016 with a few items that will remain to be completed early in 2017. The public/private sector collaborative effort has resulted in the retention of a vital affordable housing development for low income elderly residents that has undergone a host of needed improvements that will certainly make this home more comfortable, safe, and livable for all its residents.

9. 2016/17 CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOPS, PRESENTATIONS AND RETREATS WORKSHOPS ON ATTAINABLE HOUSING. At the City Council retreat in January 2016, Council asked staff to schedule a future workshop with the intent of providing information for Council to determine if a strategic result is desirable to address attainable housing. This workshop is scheduled for January 2017. Leading up to that workshop were several workshops that informed Council about attainable housing from different perspectives. The first workshop on August 22 described attainable housing developments in Denver Metro Area. The second workshop on September 26 discussed development barriers and incentives in Jefferson County. The third workshop on October 10 presented several housing options that increase the diversity of housing types in the City and also tend to be more affordable than traditional single family and multi-family housing choices. The purpose of the fourth in a series of workshops was to showcase more market rate solutions for attainable housing. The final workshop pertaining to attainable housing issues is the January 9, 2017 workshop to discuss the Arvada Housing Needs and Resources Assessment

10. Robert Oates of the “Back Home SSVF” program through the Volunteers of America invited to make a presentation regarding issues regarding homeless veterans and the services his organization provided to City staff meeting. A link also added to City website regarding the program.

11. New extensive list of Community Resources are present and updated on the City website to assist and provide information to disadvantaged

households. That list includes links and contact information for Fair Housing CO-HUD as well as varied resources regarding, “Housing, Shelters, Hotel Vouchers, Rental Assistance” of most importance to the homeless or those in danger of homelessness.

CAPER 44


12. The City participated in the 2016 Point In Time survey conducted by MDHI annually to measure the extent and characteristics regarding the

homeless or those at risk of homelessness.

13. The Arvada Housing Authority (AHA) and the Arvada Community Food Bank (ACFB) entered into an agreement through 2016 for the ACFB’s Bridges to Opportunity Program will provide self-sufficiency services to 25 of the Housing Authority’s Section 8 families. The services offered by this program can help Section 8 families move beyond basic survival to reaching their highest individual potential of self-sufficiency. The target group for this program is homeless clients, clients at risk of becoming homeless and clients who are paying extraordinarily high housing costs that jeopardizes their ability to meet other basic needs. The Bridges to Opportunity staff will identify these clients through an intake process and then refer the clients to the Housing Authority for a Housing Choice Voucher.

ACTION ITEM NO. 3—Strengthen fair housing information, educational and training opportunities. Add visible, easy to understand fair housing information on city websites or links to websites. The information should be prominent and contain links to CCRD and HUD at:

http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=DORA‐DCR%2FDORA Layout&cid=1251614735957&pagename=CBONWrapper

http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp If the Metro Denver Fair Housing Center offers education and outreach activities to residents and landlords, support through suggesting venues, publicizing events, and providing other types of non-financial assistance. Keep new staff abreast of fair housing resources and information. Arvada’s provision of training to staff on accommodating non-English speakers, persons who are hearing impaired, and people with other types of disabilities is a good model for disseminating such information and should be continued. ACTIONS TAKEN

1. The City Website for the Arvada Housing Authority includes right after Mission the following statement:

Equal Housing Opportunities The Arvada Housing Authority provides equal housing opportunities and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, familial status, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.

http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp

CAPER 45


2. The City has posted large signs with the Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity logo at prominent locations at the City Municipal Building at prominent locations at the entrance to City Divisions or Departments and utilizes the logo on a variety of housing and community development related publications, brochures, etc.

3. The City typically installs or replaces ADA ramps around the City. 87 ramps were installed or replaced in 2016. The cost per ramp varies a lot

and the estimated cost for the ramps. The cost for the ADA ramps replaced in 2016 was approximately $115,000. ADA ramps are replaced on an as-needed basis. In locations where sidewalks with ADA ramps are missing, they're added whenever a parcel of land is redeveloped, as a condition of approval by the City. New developments are required to have ADA ramps at all corners and crosswalk locations.

4. These provisions are in our Essential Home Repairs Program agreement contracts regarding discrimination: PROHIBITION AGAINST

7. CITY INCLUSION TEAM: February 2011 saw the formation of and initial meetings of the City Inclusion task group which has continued its work

in 2016. This group is tasked with developing recommendations for the Executive Management Team of actions, changes, additions, or training we believe should be undertaken to move the City toward a more inclusive environment. A staff member from the Housing Preservation and Resources Division serves on that task group.

CAPER 46


INCLUSION COMMITTEE Project Overview: To develop an inclusion program that makes the City of Arvada an exceptional workplace for people of all backgrounds and experiences. Providing a valuable program will meet the needs of all employees while supporting the Core Values of the City of Arvada.

City of Arvada Core Competencies Values: Professionalism, Accountability, Open Communication, Respect, Innovation, Integrity, Community, Personal and Professional Enrichment Core Competencies: Effectively Manages Relationships, Communicates Effectively, Demonstrates Leadership, Is Self-Aware, Demonstrates Ethics and Integrity, Demonstrates Problem Solving and Decision Making Skills.

8. On April 4, 2016 a Proclamation for National Fair Housing Month in Arvada was adopted which spoke to:

Every April, HUD celebrates National Fair Housing Month and commemorates the anniversary of the passage of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Act). The Fair Housing Act requires that housing providers offer equal access to housing, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status, or disability. In April 2016, communities and various entities celebrate the 48th anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act. Residents of this country will be reminded that all housing consumers have the right to be free from illegal housing discrimination and be able to select and live in housing of their choice. Fair Housing Month is a perfect time to recognize our commitment in fostering open and diverse communities of opportunity. During April, HUD has indicated there are fair housing events throughout the region. These events recognize that equal opportunity and cultural diversity strengthen communities and are synonymous with sustainability. In addition, this year the City recognizes the Denver Metro Fair Housing Center for their work to promote fair housing choice and to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities for all. The City Clerk shall attest and affix the seal of the City to this proclamation and a copy will be transmitted to the Denver Metro Fair Housing Center. In recognition of these efforts, it is appropriate for the City to issue and distribute a proclamation declaring the month of April as “National Fair Housing Month in Arvada.”

9. The City continued its links as recommended in the Action Item under Resources for the National Organization on Disability, Fair Housing Equal

Opportunity HUD, Colorado Civil Rights Commission, and Colorado Housing Connects. The logos for Equal Housing Opportunity and Disabled Access are included on the relevant pages as well.

opportunity logo for the disabled.

13. The public notice published to inform citizens about the availability of the 2016 CAPER for review was published both in English and in Spanish ACTION ITEM NO. 4—Encourage efforts to improve residents’ creditworthiness. Arvada should share information about disparities in loan approval

rates among borrowers with different races and ethnicities with local offices of financial mortgage lending institutions serving the city.

ACTIONS TAKEN

1. William Quintanilla and Ed Talbot with the City convened a meeting in October 2016 with the President of FirstBank to discuss varied aspects of housing and community development in the City regarding the needs of low/moderate income households and special needs populations. Several items including addressing information and initiatives in the City Executive Summary of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and the Fair Housing Action Plan Matrix. Information was requested new efforts by FirstBank (and potentially other local lenders) to

CAPER 51


affirmatively address the provision of housing assistance or credit to persons with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, and non‐English speakers in the City. FirstBank indicated it would:

Provide the City a report of the examples of efforts taken by FirstBank to reach the low to moderate income populations as well as the Latino and Asian populations in Arvada – In progress. We will have something for you by early first quarter 2017.

CHAC Community Education – We will reach out to our realtors and brainstorm on ways to educate the realtors on the home ownership programs available through CHAC/City of Arvada.

2. The City has sponsored with CHAC in 2016 and local realtors evening homebuyer education classes held at the Ann Campbell Room of the City

Municipal Building that have had full attendance since their inception where information regarding how residents can improve or act upon their credit worthiness is included.

3. A report was obtained from the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals as part of obtaining information on Hispanic homeownership rates where a February 3, 2017 review noted a positive and encouraging trend:

Hispanic homeownership rate surged in 2016 Only ethnic demographic to increase homeownership rate The homeownership rate for Hispanics increased in 2016, contrary to other ethnic groups, who all saw a decrease in homeownership. The homeownership rate among Hispanics increased to 46% in 2016, up from 45.6% the year before, according to a report from the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows the overall homeownership rate dropped from 63.7% in 2015 to 63.4% in 2016. At the same time, the African-American rate also dipped from 43% to 42.2% and the Asian-American rate dropped from 56.5% to 55.5%. Hispanics were the only ethnic demographic with an increase in their homeownership rate. Hispanics also led the nation in household formations with a net increase of 330,000 households in 2016. The overall homeownership rate in the U.S. is currently hovering at the lowest level in 50 years. Hispanics broke the trend due to their high workforce participation rate, according to NAHREP’s report. Also helping advance the growth is the increase of Hispanic entrepreneurs in mortgage banking and the real estate brokerage business.

CAPER 52


“With credit remaining tight and limited housing inventory in several markets, these numbers are extremely encouraging and a testament to the economic resilience of the Hispanic community,” 2016 NAHREP President Joseph Nery said. “As the mortgage industry continues to recognize the exceptional opportunities in serving the Hispanic market and adjusts accordingly, we expect these numbers to only improve.”

II. Items by FHEO in July 18, 2016 CAPER FHEO REVIEW SUMMARY of the City’s PY 2015 CAPER

submission

The Review stated, “FHEO has determined that Grantee is currently a low risk. It is clear from this submission that Grantee is fully aware of its responsibilities to affirmatively further fair housing and is actively engaged in taking actions to address identified impediments. In addition, Grantee has addressed many of the concerns highlighted in previous FHEO CAPER reviews.” Comments: Grantee has addressed some, but not all, of FHEO’s concerns as listed below: • Grantee provided specific information about its affirmative outreach efforts to encourage participation by persons in protected classes in the CAPER preparation process. • Grantee provided a narrative as an attachment to the CAPER discussing the various actions the City took during PY 2015 to address the impediments identified in the AI. Grantee also included some quantitative results of those actions that demonstrate the measurable impact of implemented actions for people in protected classes. • Grantee did not provide complete data with respect to the number of female-headed households and persons with disabilities who are direct beneficiaries of Grantee’s programs. The City has assembled data including reported data for Disabled/Handicapped and female Head households in an attachment to the 2016 CAPER as

reported by CDBG funded subrecipients and city programs. Additional information is included in the ATTACHMENTS.
