Wheeler, III Director GENER The Augusta - Richmond County Action Plan for 2013 serves two purposes. First, the Action Plan is a plan outlining the local strategy to address needs in the areas of community development, economic development, housing, and homelessness. The Action Plan includes background information on Augusta - Richmond County, a housing and community development strategy for the year 2013, and a description of the projects to be implemented during the 2013 program year. Second, the Action Plan serves as the grant application for projects funded under the following formula based programs: Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). Several other federal programs require that funding applications be consistent with an approved consolidated plan. The Action Plan is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to encourage more coordination of economic and community development activities at the local level, to promote citizen participation, and to simplify the process for obtaining federal funds under HUD programs. Augusta is located in east central Georgia adjacent to the state's border with South Carolina. Augusta is the county seat for Richmond County. Hephzibah and Blythe are the other two incorporated places in the county. Augusta- Richmond County is a central city in the Augusta - Aiken, GA - SC Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Other counties in the MSA are Columbia, McDuffie and Burke in Georgia and Aiken and Edgefield in South Carolina. Augusta - Richmond County is a municipality created by the merger of the city of Augusta and unincorporated areas of Richmond County on January 1, 1996. As a result, the physical and demographic characteristics of the community reflect those of an older city merged with newer suburbs. The following table summarizes population change in Richmond County between 1980 and 2000. 4 Version 2.0 Hephzibah* 2,466 3,880 3908 Blythe* 300 713 815 Unincorporated* 142,314 0 0 Total Households Richmond County 68,675 73,921 86,331 Augusta 18,819 72,307 84,427 Hephzibah 822 1,374 1677 Blythe 101 240 227 Unincorporated 48,933 0 0 Average Household Size Richmond County 2.61 2.55 2.51 Augusta 2.26 2.55 2.49 Notes: *Augusta and Richmond County consolidated on January 1, 1996.

Data derived from Population Estimates, American Community Survey, Census of Population and Housing, State and County Housing Unit Estimates, County Business Patterns, Non - employer Statistics, Economic Census, Survey of Business Owners, Building Permits, Consolidated Federal Funds Report HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT The map below depicts which census tracts in Richmond County experienced a loss, gain, or no change in population between 1990 and 2000. The tracts shaded in black and dark gray experienced population loss, and those shaded in light gray and white experienced population gain. In general, there was population loss in the older urban core of the city — clustered in the central to northeast sections of Richmond County —and population gain on the Northwestern edge and Southern area of the county. However, there are pockets within the old city limits that did experience population growth. For example, census tract 4 (flanking the Savannah River, just south of the Riverwalk) and adjacent census tract 6 (in which US 1 enters the city) both gained population in the nineties. Tracts 10, 12, and 14 (southwest of downtown) also gained population.

S *Total population for Bureau of the Census Augusta - Richmond County does not account for elderly persons over age 85 (201,217) HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director In 2010, Augusta - Richmond County's population was 54.7 percent Black, 39.1 percent White, 0.3 percent American Indian/Alaskan Native, 1.7 percent Asian, 0.2 percent Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander, 1 percent some other race, and 2.6 percent two or more races. This marks a change in racial composition from 2000, during when the county's population was 45 percent White, 50.0 percent Black, and 4.9 percent other races. Augusta and Richmond County continue to reflect the age characteristics of a relatively mature community. The following table includes information on age structure in the county. The school age population 5 -17 years old comprises approximately 17% of the population. Those elderly (65 and over) account for another 13% of the population. The county's median age rose from 32.3 in 2000 to 33.2 in the year 2010. Median household income and per capita income are indicators of the buying power of residents in a community. Even with increases up to $37,609 and $20,629 respectively, Augusta and Richmond County figures continue to lag behind comparable averages for the state at $25,134 and $49,347. Among the factors that probably contribute to Augusta's low averages are higher percentages of poverty households, non - family households, and households receiving public assistance. The following map shows median household income as a percentage of the citywide median income of each of the forty census tracts. The map indicates that low - income census tracts - those tracts have median incomes that are less than $26,378, which was 80 percent of Augusta - Richmond County's median income - stretch in a southwest direction from downtown and its adjacent tracts. Census Tracts 4, 8, 7, 9, 14, and 15 each have median incomes of less than $16,486 (50 percent of Augusta - Richmond County's median income at the time).

And in comparing the median gross income of households for the area with housing rates, including both mortgages and rent payments, the majority of occupants exhaust upwards of 40% ($1253.63) of their gross monthly income on housing expenses.

Wheeler, III Director Managing the Process Vision and Objectives HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT The foundation of the 2013 Annual Action Plan is a shared vision of the future of the community. The city's vision is essentially a statement of basic policies that guide housing and community development activities. The vision provides a sense of direction for the community and serves as a reference point for the coordination of programs. Augusta - Richmond County envisions a future in which all residents have decent and affordable housing, have ready access to educational and economic opportunities, and are served by all the essential public facilities. Neighborhoods will be places where people can live, work and play in relative security. Some neighborhood commercial establishments will provide those products and services needed by residents on a daily basis. Other businesses will provide products and services to markets outside of the neighborhood. Job opportunities will be available within neighborhoods and at other locations in the metropolitan area. Each neighborhood will have its own unique qualities, based on its history, culture and physical characteristics, but will be seen as an integral part of the entire city. Public facilities and services — such as health care, transit, day care and schools — will be used to help residents overcome barriers to housing, employment, and essential needs. The City will implement a five -year strategic plan and an annual Action Plan with this vision in mind. The following local objectives will guide the city's efforts: OBJECTIVES OF 2013 ACTION PLAN AND FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN 1. Encourage citizen participation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the community development program. 2. Improve the existing housing stock for low and moderate income households. Action Plan 9 Version 2.0 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, HI Director 3. Increase the number of jobs and amount of private capital invested in the city, particularly in the Central Business District and neighborhood commercial areas. 4. Support public facilities and services that contribute to revitalization and provide public facility improvements that support physical development and revitalization. 5. Promote the preservation and restoration of historically significant structures and landmarks in the city. Housing and Community Development Resources Augusta - Richmond County expects a mix of public and private resources to be available during the five year expanse of the Consolidated Plan to achieve its strategic goals. Public resources include CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, Facade and local government funds and in -kind contributions. The required one -to -one match for ESG funds will be in the form of funding committed by the agencies that receive assistance. ESG resources include value of donated materials, salary paid to staff of non - profits in carrying out the program and the time and services contributed by volunteers determine at the rate of $10 per hour. Matching funds for the HOME Program are expected to come from a number of sources including capital improvement projects funded by 1% sales tax and private resources. New Initiatives and Resources The city of Augusta will use employ several new initiatives and resources as part of the Consolidated Plan. These initiatives and resources include the following: • Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy - On March 27, 2009, HUD approved the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy, (NRS), for the Laney Walker & Bethlehem Neighborhoods. This Strategy, referred to as NRS, will allow the Augusta Housing and Community Development Department (AHCDD) to modify several of its programs in order to take advantage of the NRS enhanced regulatory flexibility. The NRS relates to the implementation of CDBG Funds and provides regulatory flexibility in order to promote neighborhood revitalization at a higher level. With CDBG funding, one of three National Objectives must be met: i) Benefit Low- Mod - Income (LMI); ii) Aid in the elimination and/or prevention of slums and blight; or iii) Meet urgent needs of the community. Once an activity is verified that it supports one of these national objectives, the Sub - recipient who receives funding for the activity must validate that it provides benefit to the community. This benefit is either in providing Services to Low- Mod - Income (LMI) people or in the Creation/Retention of LMI Jobs. The validation for a Sub - recipient to prove either the public benefit or creation/retention of jobs is very time consuming and Action Plan 10 Version 2.0 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director requires tedious and complete paperwork. Many times, Sub - recipients do not apply for funding because of the labor intensive process to either show public benefit or the tracking of job creation/retention. The overall purpose of the NRS is to provide assistance to a revitalization program and to augment the CDBG program in the designated community to allow a grantee to implement programs that are outside the normal regulatory process. In order to do this, once a grantee has an approved NRS, they can implement programs that have more flexibility and can appeal to a larger number of potential Sub - recipients. With regulatory flexibility, the grantee can provide programs with higher dollar values, minimize Sub - recipient tracking paperwork, and in the end, promote the higher possibility of creating and retaining jobs. By providing services across board in the community, the CDBG funding can also begin to tackle programs that incent higher income level families to work and live in the revitalized area.

Wheeler, III Director • Laney Walker Enterprise Zone. An enterprise zone is a designated geographic area within a city or county where there is an organized effort to revitalize economic development of the community. The Laney Walker Development Zone was created to overlay the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) Boundaries in order to provide tax incentives to encourage growth in businesses and housing. A tax exempt schedule has been created for the Laney Walker Enterprise Zone. For the first five years, qualifying businesses and residential projects are exempt from all state, county, and municipal ad valorem taxes, except for the portion of the taxes that are collected for the Richmond County Board of Education. The following schedule illustrates the Tax Exempt Schedule: During 2009, the Laney Walker Enterprise Zone was expanded to include the same boundaries as the NRS. This allows the zone to include the Bethlehem Neighborhood which is also a part of the downtown revitalization effort. The Enterprise Zone will have one expanded piece that allows the boundary to go past the Laney Walker Neighborhood and extend from Walton Way to Telfair. This part of the zone is primarily commercial and will help to support businesses moving to town and also encourage businesses to move to the area. The combination of commercial businesses and residential housing will provide long term growth initiative and increase neighborhood stabilization.

Wheeler, HI Director • Harrisburg West Opportunity Zone/Enterprise Zone. The Harrisburg area in Augusta has been qualified to encourage new businesses to locate in the city or existing businesses to expand. The incentive which is available for new or existing businesses within the Opportunity Zone which create two or more jobs are credits, to receive $3,500 in employee tax credits for each new job which can be taken against the business's income tax liability and state payroll withholding. The credits are available for areas designated by DCA as "Opportunity Zones ". DCA will consider designations for areas that are within or adjacent to a census block group with 15% or greater poverty where an enterprise zone or urban redevelopment plan exists. Figure C2 -2 illustrates the Harrisburg West Opportunity Zone/Enterprise Zone. Opportunity Zone Tax Credit Incentives: • the maximum Job Tax Credit allowed under law - $3,500 per job created • the lowest job creation threshold of any job tax credit program - 2 jobs • use of Job Tax Credits against 100 percent of income tax liability and Withholding • expansion of the definition of "business enterprise" to include all businesses of any nature Action Plan 15 Version 2.0 Figure C2 -2 Illustrates the Boundaries of the Harrisburg West Opportunity Zone/Enterprise Zone Action Plan 16 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPART .'

As a result, housing units in many older neighborhoods have deteriorated, been abandoned, or demolished. The deterioration of the housing stock erodes the living environment for residents in the affected neighborhoods, and reduces housing choices for those who cannot afford to live elsewhere. Housing affordability is another problem revealed by the market analysis. There are cost burdened owners and renters in both inner city and suburban neighborhoods. These represent households that lack the income and/or information needed to expand their choice of housing. In some cases, they also face institutional barriers to living in affordable, standard housing. As the economic conditions continue to have a major impact on the mortgage and housing industry, the five years housing goals will remain constant in order to support the existing and projected market conditions. The city's housing strategy includes a mix of acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, financing, planning, and capacity building activities. Housing rehabilitation is targeted at units throughout the community that meet program guidelines. New construction will take place at locations in inner city neighborhoods where units have been demolished and/or where vacant lots are located. Down payment assistance will be provided to qualifying first -time homebuyers. The AHCD Department, the Augusta Housing Authority, developers, private lenders, CHDOs and other nonprofit housing finance organizations are among the entities that will implement the housing strategy. The following table summarizes the proposed five -year accomplishments by income category. Action Plan 19 Version 2.0 Action Plan City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development HOUSING STRATEGY OBJECTIVES & EXPECTED 2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1.

The Land Bank will have within its authority over 100 properties. During this timeframe, about four properties will be deeded to developers for development of new residential properties. 7. Underwood Homes Redevelopment Senior Housing (Low- Income Housing Tax Credit Project) To support the phased redevelopment of Underwood Homes. Phase I will be "Underwood Homes Redevelopment for Seniors ". This will provide 75 units for seniors and will provide a set aside for low income residents. 8. Edinburgh Pointe Master Planned Community (Low- Income Housing Tax Credit Project) Phase One of the project is called The Terrace at Edinburgh and was awarded Low- Income Tax Credits by Georgia Dept. of Community Affairs (DCA) in 2008. This unit will consist of 72 units of housing for seniors. The second phase which will begin in 2012 will be called The Crest at Edinburgh and will contact 40 single family homes. The units at The Terraces will be for mixed - income with 11% at market rate and the rest based on income levels at or below 60% of AMI. This project is anticipated to be completed in April of 2012. The units at The Crest will support a tenant to own program. The rents at these units will support income levels at or below 60% of AMI. 20 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Homeless Strategy and Strategy for Persons with Special Needs The overall goal of the homeless strategy in Augusta - Richmond County is to provide a continuum of care for the homeless by helping them obtain appropriate housing, providing them with support services, and preventing those at risk from becoming homeless. HOMELESS STRATEGY & EXPECTED 2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS OBJECTIVE #1: Provide case management services to the homeless and near - homeless in order to assess needs and make appropriate referrals > Expected Results: Provide case management services to 4378 homeless /near- homeless individuals and families OBJECTIVE #2: Increase the number of housing units/beds available to the homeless > Expected Results: Add the following number of units/beds to the existing inventory — Emergency Shelter — 25 beds Transitional Housing - 5 units Permanent Housing - 3 units Permanent Supportive - 10 units OBJECTIVE #3: Increase the chances of the homeless returning to self - sufficiency by providing access to supportive services, including the expansion of existing services or the development of new services, that meet their most critical needs Action Plan ➢ Provide additional ESG, CDBG, Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- Housing Program funding, and HOPWA funding to agencies and organizations serving the homeless, near homeless and those with special needs. 21 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development The City's strategy for assisting persons with special needs is to improve their quality of life by increasing the range of housing options and supportive services available to them. Persons with special needs include the elderly, frail elderly, the mentally ill, the physically or developmentally disabled, substance abusers and persons with HIV /AIDS. STRATEGY FOR PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS OBJECTIVE: Use a combination of CDBG, ESG, HOPWA, HOME and local funds to support housing and supportive services to special needs populations > Expected Results: Help provide supportive services to 1840 people Non - Housing Community Development Strategy The goal of the Non - Housing Community Development Strategy is to improve the quality of public facilities and public services, and expand economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons. The strategy involves making direct investments in public facilities, providing financial and technical assistance that creates and retains jobs, and supporting agencies that provide public services to low income and special needs populations. The strategy will improve the safety and livability of neighborhoods, create new business opportunities, and improve access to capital and credit for development activities. The Non - Housing Community Development Strategy includes a public facilities component and an economic development component. PUBLIC FACILITIES / SERVICES STRATEGY AND EXPECTED RESULTS OBJECTIVE #1: Use a combination of CDBG and local funds to support the provision of new public facilities and/or improve the quality of existing facilities including neighborhood centers, parks and/or recreation facilities, homeless facilities, senior centers, childcare and handicapped centers. OBJECTIVE #2: Support and improve the delivery of human and recreational services for low income persons and neighborhoods to include providing health, nutritional and educational services > Expected Results: Support the delivery of human and recreational services to a total of 3,600 people. OBJECTIVE 3: Support and improve the infrastructure and physical environment of lower income neighborhoods to include water, sewer and flood drainage improvements. ➢ Expected Results: Neither the CDBG nor HOME programs will be conducting any infrastructure projects in 2013. Action Plan > Expected Results: Provide assistance to 3 projects 22 Version 2.0 A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development OBJECTIVE 4: Eliminate slum and blighting conditions that degrade neighborhoods. This includes increasing code enforcement, demolition and clearance efforts and alleviating lead based paint hazards in low income neighborhoods. ➢ Expected results: Demolish and clear structures for ? properties. OBJECTIVE 5: Provide cost effective, timely and efficient support services to the four grant programs comprising the Consolidated Plan to include monitoring, oversight, evaluation of program effectiveness, coordination, strategic planning and assurance of service delivery coverage to include addressing fair housing issues. Augusta - Richmond County will also seek to increase economic development opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses and create new job opportunities for low and moderate income persons as part of its Non - Housing Community Development Strategy. In implementing an economic development strategy, the city will be striving to achieve the following goals: Lead Agency Action Plan ➢ Expected Results: Complete program administration and planning activities during the five years covered by the Consolidated Plan. 1. Increase access to capital for small businesses by offering a Small Business Loan program; 2. Increase the number of jobs for low and moderate income persons and the amount of private capital invested in the city, particularly in the Central Business District and neighborhood commercial areas; 3. Provide technical assistance and a training program to strengthen long range planning, management, finance and accounting capabilities of small businesses; and 4. Promote the preservation and restoration of historically significant structures and landmarks in the city. Accessing capital through conventional sources has traditionally been difficult for small and minority businesses. The AHCD Department has developed The Small Business Development Loan Program that will assist these disadvantaged businesses in obtaining capital. These loans are eligible to small and minority owned businesses to help retain existing jobs and/or to create new job opportunities for low and moderate income persons. Loan amounts under both programs range from $5,000 up to $35,000. Loan funds can be used to start up or expand a business, develop or recycle blighted or vacant land and/or facilities, and provide capital for manufacturing to help achieve economic diversification. The Augusta Housing and Community Development Department (AHCDD) is the lead agency in the development of the Consolidated Plan and the implementation of Plan projects in Augusta- Richmond 23 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development County. The department has over twenty years experience in administering Augusta's housing and community development programs. As a result, the department has well - established relationships with neighborhood groups, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, developers, and social service agencies involved in community development. The department has a staff of eighteen, and is divided into two areas: Housing and Programs. The Housing group coordinates HOME - financed housing rehabilitation and new construction projects, and offers down payment assistance to low- to moderate - income first -time homebuyers. This division also administers the Housing Opportunities for People with Aids (HOPWA) Program, which is designed to offer a series of housing services to people who are suffering from HIV /AIDS. The Programs division is concerned with public improvements, development, and public and nonprofit service delivery affecting low- and moderate - income areas and manages the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. It also manages any project funded under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program. The Programs division also provides assistance to businesses and promotes economic revitalization and implements the Facade program to renovate storefronts in the downtown area. The Programs division works with other economic development organizations and associations to attract new businesses and employment to Augusta - Richmond County. Departmental Study and Analysis The United States has completed the 2010 census and has compiled new statistics. The new data has impacted the amount of Federal Funding each city receives. The census data provides a city with valuable information on where to spend federal dollars in order to support the segment of the population that needs it the most. These economic conditions constantly change and therefore it is ever important to have new data on population trends and economic conditions in order to create an effective five year plan and implement it over to course of each year's action plan. As we head into 2013, the new census data is available and with the department's expanded market study providing gap analysis of the retail/services market, AHCDD will have ample data to enhance economic development in the area. Part of this Market Study was to understand the population and employment trends in and around Richmond County and how this would impact our current CDBG and HOME Programs. Figure D -1 illustrates the area in which the Market Study was performed the division of the area into three study areas. The Study has been updated to include updated market analysis data for the downtown area's commercial utilization for the facade rehabilitation program.

The racial mix is more diverse in surrounding neighborhoods, becoming more heavily Caucasian in the furthest study areas. • The median age in Laney -Walker (38.5 years) and Bethlehem (40.3 years) is noticeably higher than in any of the competitive study areas. This is due, in part, to the comparatively affordable and price stable housing options in the PSR, which allows local residents to more easily age in place. • The Primary Study Region has experienced a net decline of approximately 1,100 households since 1990, accounting for a net 35% loss from the base year total. This decline is contributing to the supply of vacant housing in the area. In contrast, the close - proximity competitive study areas have experienced stability in number of households, maintaining a steady occupancy rate. • Areas not considered competitive, but located near the Primary Study Region, are showing an increase of households due to concerted development efforts. • Both the Laney - Walker and Bethlehem neighborhoods have median household income levels approximately 60% below the Augusta - Richmond County level of $41,083. However, there are small but significant portions of Laney - Walker (16.0 %) and Bethlehem (15.7 %) with household income levels at or above the City - County median. • Residents in the Primary Study Area have comparatively lower education attainment levels than the competitive study areas Almost half of the over 24- year -old population in these neighborhoods have not completed high school. • In addition, competitive study areas located in close proximity to the hospitals downtown and Fort Gordon, have the highest percentages of residents with some level of post - secondary education, nearly tripling that of residents in Laney -Walker or Bethlehem. • There is a high level of unemployment in the PSR (21.8 %). In contrast, areas deemed competitive have a 15.3% rate and surrounding areas are at 10.2 %. This disparity is likely indicative of minimal job growth and an undereducated workforce. Action Plan 26 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Nearly one - quarter of the 84,500 jobs in Augusta - Richmond County are in the health care and social assistance economic sector. The Medical College of Georgia (MCG), University Hospital and the Medical College of Georgia Health System are all located near the Primary Study Region, and account for approximately 11,000 jobs. Other large employers include the County government (2,612 jobs), FPL Food (500 jobs), and Thermal Ceramics (444 jobs). Summary of Population Trends and Projections Half of the population (52.1%) in Augusta - Richmond County resides inside the Bobby Jones Expressway (I -520). However, this area has been experiencing a slow decline since 1990, when it accounted for 60% of all City - County residents. The shift away from this portion of the City- County has been particularly strong in the Primary Study Region, which has lost 35.5% of its population. The Bethlehem neighborhood has seen a slightly greater percentage loss than the Laney - Walker neighborhood during this time. The steady decline in population in the Primary Study Region from over 7,000 residents to less than 5,000, has contributed to the increase in vacant housing units. In comparison, the Surrounding Study Region has experienced a net increase in population since1990. The highest population growth rates have occurred in the South County and Evans/Martinez areas with each study area experiencing rates of nearly 40 %. Anecdotal information provided by local real estate professionals indicates that much of this growth is due to new housing starts. Columbia County has instituted regulatory measures to concentrate development in select areas such as Evans and Martinez. The disparity in population trends between the established neighborhoods and outlying areas can be largely attributed to the availability of developable land. Areas located around and including Laney - Walker and Bethlehem generally are built out. As a result, very little large -scale development has occurred in this area. This has created opportunities for growth to occur in nearby study areas such as Evans/Martinez, North Augusta/Belvedere and South County. The aging housing stock in areas such as Laney- Walker and Bethlehem is not competitive with the modern amenity -laden units in these new subdivisions. Furthermore, the lack of investment and upkeep in neighborhoods like Laney - Walker and Bethlehem has led to concentrations of blight, hurting the potential of these areas. Current population trends in almost every study area are projected to continue over the next five years, albeit at slower rates. Laney - Walker and Bethlehem are both projected to lose more than 10% of their respective current populations, equating to an annual percentage loss of nearly 1%. However, recently completed public capital projects along Laney -Walker Boulevard, the development of the new judicial center along Walton Way, and the investments made by various local Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) have improved the potential for attracting new residents and spurring new housing projects in the Primary Study Region. One such project, The Enclave on James Brown, is currently underway and has its first few homes complete.

Meanwhile, other study areas are expected to experience slowing growth rates. Evans/Martinez is projected to experience a net increase of 7,200 individuals between 2008 and 2013. This year - over -year annual projected growth rate (2.6 %) is greater than any previous rate in the area dating back to 1990. Through interviews conducted with local employers, the Consultant ascertained that a sizable portion of Augusta's workforce currently resides in areas west of downtown including Columbia County. It is likely that Augusta's workforce will continue to locate to Columbia County as housing development continues to take advantage of the newer housing and relatively short commute. Table D2 -1 illustrates the anticipated population trends for the city of Augusta and the surrounding areas.

Augusta - Richmond County afforded citizens and others an opportunity to provide input in a number of ways. Public Notice was posted in each of the city's local publications (Augusta Chronicle and Metro Courier) as well as on the city's website (www.augustaga.gov). A public Meeting was held in the course of developing the Action Plan on September 19th. The purpose of the meeting was to obtain input on housing and community development needs, provide an overview of the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs, and solicit project proposals for inclusion in the Action Plan. People attending the meetings had the opportunity to receive information and to review and submit comments on the content of the Plan, including the proposed activities, amount of assistance to be received, and plans to minimize displacement or assist those displaced by activities.

Public Review Period for Draft Annual Action Plan The City made the Proposed Action Plan available to the public for the required 30 -day review by publishing a notice in the Augusta Chronicle and the Metro Courier newspapers. The deadline for public comment was September 27, 2012. However, we did not receive any formal public comments. A copy of the ad can be found in Attachment X. Institutional Structure Institutional Structure and Coordination of Efforts The institutional structure is in place to implement the Action Plan. As previously mentioned, the AHCD Department has many years of experience in planning and implementing CDBG and related program activities. AHCDD will collaborate with a number of well - established agencies and organizations that will serve as sub - recipients, and will share in the responsibility for the implementing projects and delivering services. AHCDD will conduct monitoring reviews of all sub - recipients on a regular basis to assure that projects are carried out in accordance with the Action Plan and their individual contracts. Monitoring will also be done to assure that projects meet all regulatory requirements and adhere to the necessary financial management techniques. Monitoring Monitoring Standards and Procedures The City currently uses various administrative mechanisms to track and monitor the progress of HUD - funded projects that are under its control and jurisdiction. The goal is to ensure that Consolidated Plan related programs and activities are carried out in a timely manner in accordance with federal regulations and other statutory or regulatory requirements. The primary monitoring goals of the City is to provide technical assistance, identify deficiencies and promote corrections in order to improve, reinforce or augment the community's Consolidated Plan performance. The City monitors all CDBG, ESG, HOME and HOPWA sub - recipient activities as required by HUD in accordance with the agreement between the agency and the City. Sub - recipients are required to Action Plan 30 Version 2.0 Lead -based Paint City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development submit monthly and/or quarterly and annual program and financial reports to facilitate the annual monitoring process. Annual monitoring includes ensuring that the sub - recipients, including Community Housing Development Organizations, comply with the terms of their agreements, including income and client eligibility, rents, reporting requirements, timeliness, sales prices, values, property standards, affirmative marketing, periods of affordability, relocation and fair housing. For established agencies, the City may choose to conduct a desk monitoring for agencies providing public services. Other efforts include ongoing communication with sub - recipients through the provision of on -site technical assistance. Frequent telephone contacts, written communications, analysis of reports and annual audits, administrative and environmental guidance by City staff provide a basis for review and monitoring. Lead -Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Strategy The Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 focuses on the reduction of hazards, risk assessment, and prevention to reduce the effects of lead -based paint hazards on children. Elevated blood lead levels in children can cause damage to the brain and nervous system, effect intelligence, slow growth, cause learning disabilities and even lead to death. A major cause of lead poisoning is from lead based paint in residential buildings. Based on the City's review of the housing stock, approximately 50% of the housing units may contain lead -based paint. The City's actions to evaluate and reduce Lead -Based Paint hazards is outlined below and incorporated into the following programs; single - family rehabilitation program, first -time home buyer program and Community Housing Development Organization housing projects. To meet the requirements of the Act which took effect on September 15, 2000, the City has incorporated lead -based paint reduction policies into these housing programs to address the following areas of concern: • Hazards "Hazard" means any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead - contaminated dust, soil, or paint that is deteriorated or present in accessible or friction surfaces. Contaminated dust is considered the most common pathway of childhood exposure to lead. Lead -based paint hazards to not include intact lead -based paint which is not on a chewable, impact or friction surface. • Risk Assessment and Interim Controls Risk assessment requires on -site analysis to determine existence, nature, severity, and location of lead hazards. Interim controls are put into place and focus on measures that reduce human exposure to contaminated dust associated with the presence of lead -based paint. • Clearance Testing Clearance involves testing settled dust for lead contamination after hazard control work. It ensures that fine particles of lead in dust have been cleaned up. Action Plan 31 Version 2.0 Category Required Activities Notification All of the following apply: • Pamphlet • Disclosure • Notice of Lead Hazard Presumption/Evaluation • Notice of Lead Hazard Reduction Lead Hazard Evaluation One or more of the following may apply: • Visual Assessment • Paint Testing • Risk Assessment (or lead hazard screen) Lead Hazard Reduction One or more of the following may apply: • Paint Stabilization • Interim Controls • Abatement The following always apply: • Safe work Practices • Clearance Ongoing Maintenance This requirement may apply: • Inspect and maintain lead hazard reduction work City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Prevention/Treatment Reduction of hazards before a health problem occurs is critical. The age of housing stock is an acceptable basis for estimate in the location of dwellings with lead -based paint. Title X does not rely on children with elevated blood - levels (EBL) as a means of locating dwellings in need of abatement. These concerns are all incorporated in the following table which divides the lead -based paint regulatory requirements into four major categories: notification, lead- hazard evaluation, lead hazard reduction and ongoing maintenance. • Notification The major objective is to increase the overall level of awareness of lead -based paint laws and regulations so that all community residents may be aware of their rights and responsibilities. In the event the presence of lead -based paint is detected in a housing unit, notifications will be carried out by the following mandated notification requirements established by HUD: Pamphlet — Occupants, owners and purchasers must all receive Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet. Disclosure — Ensure that property owners have provided purchasers and lessees with available information or knowledge regarding the presence of lead -based paint and lead -based paint hazards prior to selling or leasing a residence. Even if federal funds are withdrawn from a transaction, the purchasers are required to receive a disclosure of any known lead -based paint findings. Notice of Lead Hazard Presumption /Evaluation and Lead Hazard Reduction — Occupants, owners and purchasers must be notified of the results of the presumption of lead -based paint or lead hazards or of any lead hazard evaluation or reduction work. Action Plan 32 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Lead Hazard Evaluation and Reduction The Lead Based Paint regulations affect all of the City's housing programs that use HUD funding. One of the City's housing inspectors is trained and certified as a Lead Paint Risk Assessor. An EPA laboratory is used for testing of samples taken during inspections. In addressing lead hazard evaluation, the city will conduct a visual assessment, paint testing, or risk assessment, depending on the activity to be undertaken. In some instances there may be supporting evidence for the City to forego testing the housing unit and want to presume the presence of lead - based paint and/or lead hazards. Lead hazard reduction activities will include paint stabilization, interim controls, standard treatments, or abatement depending on the requirements for the activity type. City will ensure that all lead hazard reduction or rehabilitation work that disturbs painted surfaces known or assumed to contain lead -based paint will be completed using safe work practices as outlined in the regulations. Clearance testing will then be performed by the Lead Paint Risk Assessor to ensure that there is no evidence of lead -based paint hazards when all work is complete. The table below summarizes the level of lead -based paint hazard evaluation and reduction required by the activity type and level of federal assistance provided.

One of the City's housing inspectors is trained and certified as a Lead Paint Risk Assessor. An EPA laboratory is used for testing of samples taken during inspections. In addressing lead hazard evaluation, the city will conduct a visual assessment, paint testing, or risk assessment, depending on the activity to be undertaken. In some instances there may be supporting evidence for the City to forego testing the housing unit and want to presume the presence of lead - based paint and/or lead hazards. Lead hazard reduction activities will include paint stabilization, interim controls, standard treatments, or abatement depending on the requirements for the activity type. City will ensure that all lead hazard reduction or rehabilitation work that disturbs painted surfaces known or assumed to contain lead -based paint will be completed using safe work practices as outlined in the regulations. Clearance testing will then be performed by the Lead Paint Risk Assessor to ensure that there is no evidence of lead -based paint hazards when all work is complete. The table below summarizes the level of lead -based paint hazard evaluation and reduction required by the activity type and level of federal assistance provided. The City will utilize this table in order to conform to the lead regulations when carrying out its housing program activities that utilize federal funds. • Ongoing Maintenance In activities where the assistance provided requires an ongoing relationship with a property, generally HOME rental programs, the owners must perform ongoing maintenance to ensure that lead hazard reduction measures are maintained. Safe work practices will be used when all subsequent maintenance or renovation work is performed where lead -based paint may be present. Clearance testing will also be completed when any repairs, interim controls, or abatement work is completed as part of ongoing maintenance. The City will also keep maintenance records on each property that will include information on inspections, repairs and Action Plan 33 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development any other lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities. These records will be kept for a minimum of five years. • LBP Rehabilitation Implementation Compliance with LBP guidelines will involve specific steps in the rehabilitation process. An example of the types of the steps involved in lead hazard evaluation and reduction/abatement are listed below: Property Inspection and Rehabilitation Planning 1. Determine level of hazard evaluation and reduction required. 2. Risk assessor schedules lead evaluation. 3. Risk assessor performs paint testing and/or risk assessment. 4. Provide notice of evaluation. 5. Lead work specification work written by Senior Inspector. 6. Determine relocation needs. Contractor Selection 1. Check qualifications of lead contractors. 2. Discuss work schedule with contractors /owners. 3. Discuss safe work practices with contractor /owner. Supervising Rehabilitation 1. Ensure interim controls and abatement are supervised by a certified Abatement Supervisor. 2. Verify quality of lead hazard reduction work. 3. Ensure that safe work practices are used by trained works. 4. Ensure work site preparation and worker protection. Final Inspection and Clearance 1. Check that work is complete and clean up is adequate. 2. Risk Assessor issues clearance report. 3. Re -clean and repeat clearance when necessary. 4. Provide lead hazard reduction notice. 5. Provide abatement or clearance report. 6. Ongoing maintenance and monitoring. The new LBP regulations do not affect the types of housing listed below: • Housing built since January 1, 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use.

HOUSING General Characteristics of Housing Market The housing market in Augusta - Richmond County reflects historic development patterns in the community. Older single - family and duplex units are concentrated in the neighborhoods of the former city of Augusta. Conventional subdivisions, with units in a variety of price ranges, are concentrated in suburban areas. Apartment complexes, many of which have been developed in the last 30 -40 years, are clustered in west Augusta and south Augusta. The south Augusta area is presently the fastest growing residential market in the county. Among the factors making south Augusta desirable are lower land and building costs, presence of developers willing to invest in the area, construction of new public schools, a relatively low level of traffic congestion, a higher perception of public safety, and proximity to Fort Gordon. Between 2000 and 2010, total housing units in Richmond County increased 2.5% to 84,427 units. This is lower than the 6.5% increase in units between 1990 and 2000 (see table below). Although the Homeownership Rate for Augusta - Richmond County is 56.5% is still greatly below the rate for the State of Georgia at 67.2 %. The chart below illustrates a comparison of the county to the state overall. 35 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Geographically, total housing units increased the most in the southern and western parts of Richmond County during the decade. Notably, five of the six census tracts with the highest percentage increase in housing units are located in south Richmond County. Other tracts in the south and west also registered smaller housing unit gains. This continues a trend evident for several decades. The detached single- family, site -built home continues to be the dominant type of housing unit in the market, representing 62% of the 86,097 total units in Richmond County in 2010. This is up slightly from a 61.5% share in 2000. In the last ten years the number of detached and attached, single- family units increased. This could be due to continued development of new housing in the Richmond County area or to occupancy increases of existing housing stock. The disparity can't be accounted for with a single explanation as the homeownership rate does not support the increase Apartments (structures with 3 or more units) comprise almost 26% of the housing stock. Mobile or manufactured homes account for 9.2% of the housing units, about the same percentage as in 1990. The following table lists the number of units by type of structure for 1990 and 2000. Currently 86.2% of the occupied housing units are owner - occupied. This is a considerable increase from the 58% rate in 2000. The vast increase in owner occupancy can be contributed to the drop in interest rates and the introduction of a tremendous number of "creative financing" options during the housing boom of the early mark of the decade. These factors greatly increased opportunities housing throughout the country throu7gh relaxed credit requirements, decreased down payments, and greater incentives to purchase including tax credits.

Below is a comparison of occupancy rates over the ten year expanse. Action Plan The census tracts with the highest percentages of homeowners are those tracts with the highest median incomes, mostly in the central to southern areas of the county. The inner city, low- income census tracts have the lowest percentages of homeowners. The age of Augusta and Richmond County's housing stock reflects the comparatively rapid growth that took place in the three decades or so after World War II, and the slower expansion of the last two decades. The following table indicates that over half (51.6 %) of the housing units were constructed between 1950 and 1979. Another 19% of the units were constructed between 1980 and 1989, but only about 10.4% have been constructed in the last ten years. Therefore despite in the spike in homeownership there still has not been a major increase in construction. Generally speaking, the majority of the units that are fifty years or older are concentrated in inner -city neighborhoods located in the northeast part of the city. The chart below compares existing housing stock today to the last Census count. 37 Version 2.0 Value of Owner Occupied Housing Units, 2010 Augusta - Richmond County and the Augusta MSA 5,300 Augusta - Richmond County State of Georgia Value Range Number Percent Number Percent Less than $50,000 5,287 12.5 202,975 8.7 $50,000 to $99,999 16,111 38.1 355,917 15.3 $100,000 to $149,999 10,542 24.9 482,984 20.7 $150,000 to $199,999 5,020 11.9 452,881 19.4 $200,000 to $299,999 2,742 6.5 414,384 17.8 $300,000 to $499,999 1,607 3.8 280,946 12.0 $500,000 to $999,999 676 1.6 114,847 4.9 $1,000,000 or over 307 0.7 26,844 1.2 Total Owner Occupied Units 42,292 Median /tableservices /isf 100.0% $99,300 /pages / productview 2,331,778 Median xhtml ?pid =ACS 10 100.0% $161,400 5YR DPO4 Source: http: //factfinder2.census.gov/ faces 1940 to 1949 5,300 6.4% 1940 to 1949 4,846 5.6 1939 or earlier 6,253 7.6% 1939 or earlier 6,771 7.9 82,312 100.0% 86,097 100.0% Source: http: / /factfinder2. census.gov/ faces / tableservices /jsf/pages /productview xhtml ?pid =ACS 10 5YR DPO4# 0 1/A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development The cost of housing in Augusta, both owner and renter, has increased over the last decade. Even with this increase, the cost of housing remains lower than the state of Georgia by comparison and contributes to the area's lower than average cost of living index as noted in the chart below. The median value of an owner - occupied housing unit in Augusta Richmond County was $99,300 in the year 2010, up from $76,800 (Richmond County) in 2000. Over 50% of the owner units in the city are valued at less than $100,000. By comparison, only 23.1% of all owner occupied units in the state are worth $100,000 or less. The median cost of renting has increased from an average of $413 per month in 2000 to $686 in 2010. By comparison the gross median rent for the State of Georgia is $808. Although the majority of the Augusta Richmond County population of occupant renters pays an amount monthly equivalent to the median range ($500 to $749), it is also a majority of this population paying greater than 35% of their gross income for rent (41.7 %). An additional eight percent pay just below this mark, utilizing between 30% and 34% of their gross for rental housing. This statistical data speaks to the increased need for an increase in the quantity of affordable rental housing throughout the county, made available to those of lower and moderate incomes. Current Housing Situation The current housing market in Augusta and the surrounding areas reflects the depreciation in home prices and the decrease in home sales that is plaguing the United States.

City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Augusta area reflect the continued expansion of suburban parts of the region. The Greater Augusta Association of Realtors tracks real estate sales in the Augusta MSA counties, plus another eight counties in the region. According to the Augusta MLS Data, House sales have continued to decline since January of 2004. In 2004, there were about 167 closings per month compared with 118 per month in 2009. The high point of the past few years was in 2005 with about 180 closings per month. The average sales price for residential home in 2004 was $121,981 with a peak of 146,875 in 2005 and a decline to 138,893 in 2009. Very few sales have occurred in the downtown area over the last three years. According to MLS data, 30 residential properties have sold in the Laney - Walker area while only six have sold in the Bethlehem area. Comparably, the Riverfront area has seen 441 sales, the Southern Loop of 1,000 sales and North Tobacco Road has seen 1,739 sales. Each of these areas has seen a decline in sales of around 20% between 2007 and 2008. One of the challenges for Richmond County home sales, is the popularity of purchasing a less expensive home in Columbia County. Columbia County lead the way in both the number of single family units sold, and the average sales price was the highest in the region. Augusta - Richmond County had the next highest number of sales, but the average sales price was the lowest in the region. The following table, a previous report by Dale Henson, summarizes the sales activity for single family and townhouse / condominium units in the Augusta region between 2003 -2004. Utilization of the Augusta, Georgia Land Bank Authority Action Plan 39 Version 2.0 Action Plan City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Contained within the recent housing market studies is information which suggests that a residential market for the development of new affordable single family housing and new rental units exists and that the trend for more affordable single family homes and rental homes will continue to increase. Even though the purchase power for a single family home may be decreasing, the need for housing continues to increase. The "City's" participation as a major player is warranted and still required. Interest in the development of new single family homes is strong, especially in South Augusta and the communities in which the CHDOs operate. Through acquisition and/or disposition procedures, the "Land Bank Authority" is expected to play a major role towards the development of current and future inventoried properties. Once these properties have been acquired through the "Land Bank Authority ", procedures can be implemented to make these and other properties attractive for future development projects. Through these and other efforts, projects are currently being developed to expand this interest throughout the municipality, especially the inner city communities. There is also strong interest in the rehabilitation of existing homes for the purposes of supplying affordable rental housing units to needy individuals and families. Partnerships between landlords and the local Housing Authority are increasing and occurring daily. Inquiries and application requests for funding through the department's "Rental Rehab" program have markedly increased from previous years. Finally, through revisions of the department's existing "Homeownership — Rehab Program" the policies and procedures governing the program have become favorable to individuals and families requiring the assistance. Through this exercise there is an expected increase in the number of applicants and the number of homes which will be served. The declining market has been an opportunity for the city to purchase vacant and underutilized property in the downtown area. By acquiring these properties and storing them in the Land Bank, the property can be used in the future for new developments, both commercial and mixed income. Needs of Public Housing Public and Assisted Housing Facilities The Housing Authority of Augusta and Richmond County is the designated Local Public Housing Agency (PHA). Established in 1937, The Housing Authority is governed by a five - member Board of Commissioners appointed by the local government. An Executive Director and staff of employees oversee the day -to -day operations of the Housing Authority and its properties. The Housing Authority currently operates and maintains thirteen (13) public housing developments in Augusta - Richmond County. Together, these properties house 4,967 people in 2,128 living units. In addition, the PHA administers another 3,674 units under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program located on scattered sites throughout the city. The 3,674 units consists of 3,579 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and 95 HUD -VASH Vouchers with a total resident count of 11,238 family members. The chart below profiles the 13 public housing communities in Augusta, showing occupancy, average monthly rent, the year built, and year most recently modernized. Augusta Housing Authority residents have had a voice in management of AHA properties for a number of years. The Resident Advisory Board meets monthly and consists of approximately 60 residents. The board provides feedback to AHA management on all quality of life issues (security, maintenance and repairs, etc.), is involved in preparing grant applications, and makes recommendations regarding the AHA annual and five -year plans. 40 Version 2.0 Profile of Augusta Housing Authority Public Housing Communities Number of Units Total Residents Average Monthly Rent Year Built/Last Modernized Hal Powell Apartments 100 100 $209 1972/1999 Olmstead Homes Legacy at Walton Oaks 255. 12 546 9 $163 $159 1937/2006 2011 Peabody Apartments 228 237 $206 1967/2011 Allen Homes 149 381 $95 1966/1998 Ervin Towers 99 97 $208 1967/1992 M.

The associations conduct workshops and sponsor social activities (dinners, fairs, health screening) at their respective complexes. Members of the resident associations also serve on the Resident Advisory Board. The AHA Resident Services staff helps the associations carry out their responsibilities. The annual budget for the Housing Authority exceeds $20 million and includes expenditures to operate and maintain the public housing projects, provide housing assistance payments to Section 8 program participants, make capital improvements, provide security and other community services, and overall administration of the program. The Augusta Housing Authority has 12 public housing units and 26 Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance units in the Legacy at Walton Oaks. The remaining 37 units at the Legacy at Walton Oaks are Low- Income Housing Tax Credit units. 14 additional public housing units are under construction in Phase 2 of the Walton Oaks mixed -finance development. Phase 2 will consist of a total of 75 family units with 61 of the units being Low- Income Housing Tax Credit units.

The WES report updated a similar study completed by TONYA in 2003. The report indicated that both individual circumstances and government policies can serve as barriers to affordable housing. Individuals and families often lack the information, income, and access to financing that make it possible for them to live in affordable, standard housing. Some have to pay excessive amounts of their income for shelter and related costs. The types of government actions that can affect the supply of affordable housing include real estate taxes, land use controls, building codes, and code enforcement. A copy of this report is available at the Augusta Housing and Community Development Department. By Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards, there are three scenarios where a household has a housing problem: ■ If a household pays more than 30 percent of its gross monthly income for housing, it is considered "cost burdened." HUD considers households that pay more than 50 percent of their income on housing costs to be severely cost burdened. • If a household occupies a unit that lacks a complete kitchen or bathroom, the unit has a physical defect. • If a household contains more members than the unit has rooms, the unit is overcrowded. Based on HUD's definition, and according to 2000 Census data, 40.7 percent of Augusta renters (11,357) are cost burdened and 19.4 percent (5,397) are severely cost burdened. Not as many homeowners with a mortgage experience this housing problem; 28 percent (7,129) are cost burdened and 11.7 percent (2,982) are severely cost burdened. According to the Census 734 housing units, 0.9 percent of all units, lack complete kitchen facilities. Similarly, 1 percent of all households — totaling 801 households —lack complete plumbing facilities. As of 2000, 1,035 owners (or 2.5 percent of all owners) in Augusta were overcrowded. A greater number and percentage of renters were overcrowded: 2,761 or 9 percent of all renters. Provisions in a local zoning ordinance that control such factors as the density of development, the number of unrelated people residing in a living unit, and the location of manufactured homes can increase the cost of housing and concentrate affordable housing units in certain parts of the community. Code enforcement activities can lead to the removal of units that might be suitable for rehabilitation and reuse as affordable housing. Subdivision regulations require new development to occur on lots that meet minimum size requirements, but existing lots may be built on without regard to their size. The WES report also used 2000 Census data and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data for the years 2001 through 2006 to develop a profile of mortgage lending activity in Augusta.

Just over 33,000 of these loan applications were specifically for home purchases. In 2001, 4,469 loans transactions were made with an increase to 6,689 by the year 2006. During this period, 12,536 loans were originated (loans were made) and 3,106 were denied. Loan denial rates were calculated by race and ethnicity of the loan applicants. In general, minority races tended to have higher denial rates than whites over the entire size year period. In particular, blacks experienced a denial rate of 22% during the six year period, with whites just 14.2 percent. Table E -1 Denial Rate for Owner Occupied Home Purchase Loan Application by Selected Races Augusta - Richmond County: HMDA Data 2001- 2006 As you can infer from this chart, the highest number of Loan Denials are in the Black and Hispanic races. The HMDA data is not quite conclusive in why the results are so high, because many of the financial institutions were not required to give a detailed reason for the denial. The most common issue with the applicant was cited as "credit issue ". Consumers who have problematic credit histories could benefit from understanding their credit report and creating and managing a budget. This would provide an avenue for many to conquer the road to home ownership. Conclusions from Study - Potential Impediments It was determined from this study that impediments to fair housing still exist in Augusta - Richmond County. One of the major areas of concern is in the mortgage denial rate for ethnic minorities. According to the data presented in Table E -1, Blacks and Hispanics face a significantly higher rate of mortgage denial. The main reason for this high denial rate is the lack of quality credit. In addition, there was an increase in predatory lending between 2002 and 2005 that targeted this population and resulted in a high foreclosure rate during the period of 2008 through 2009. One of the primary ways of decreasing predatory lending and improving credit is to offer Homeownership Counseling and Education. This education not only provides credit counseling but educates on the entire process from mortgage lending through home maintenance. Suggested Actions - Home Ownership Counseling and Education Action Plan 46 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development The study concluded that one of the best ways to increase loan approval rates and to decrease the number of foreclosures is to provide community outreach on a variety of related topics. The Housing Department felt that this community outreach was a vital need in the community and has worked to increase awareness of available homebuyer education services through its existing non -profit organizations. The purpose of these classes is to provide monthly education where families and individuals can gain the experience needed to purchase a home. The staff provides credit counseling, homebuyer education and mortgage lending education on the different products that are available. In addition, some of these also offer foreclosure prevention counseling in order to keep families in their homes. Concerns and Issues Expressed by Survey Participants over the past five years Respondents to this and past surveys also had a number of suggestions about enhancing the local housing and community development environment, delivery system, and commitment to housing production throughout the community. This includes needs, barrier or constraints to addressing the needs, and suggested actions that Augusta - Richmond County can consider in eliminating the constraints and barriers to housing. The general comments are segmented into three main areas: additional housing needs, barriers and constraints to resolving housing needs, and methods that Augusta - Richmond County can adopt to overcome their housing challenges. Other Housing Needs • Need for additional homeownership training • Building codes need additional enforcement • Elimination of vacant substandard dwellings • Demolition of run -down residential properties • Enforce housing standards and codes • Enhance financial instruments for low - interest loans or grants Barriers or Constraints to Resolving These Needs • Landlords do not adequately maintain their property • Availability of staff to enforce codes • Shortage of funds to purchase and rehab • Lack of political will or leadership • Property that is inherited and heir do not live in the area Ways Augusta - Richmond County Can Work Toward Resolving These Needs • Enhance outreach and education about affordable housing tools and programs • Demolish the dilapidated housing units, vacant and abandoned units • Enforce existing building codes or property standards • Establish stronger partnerships with banks, developers, and business • Build more affordable rental and homeownership housing Consolidated Results of Housing and Homeless Survey Action Plan 47 Version 2.0 NEED HIGH PRIORITY MEDIUM PRIORITY HOUSING Senior housing (167) Residential Rehabilitation (137) Rental housing (158) Rental Assistance (135) Disabled housing (158) Homeownership (135) Affordable for Sale Housing (149) ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Work Force Training (171) Micro- Enterprise Support (99) Business Recruitment (155) ED Assistance to For - Profits (95) Business Retention Activities (135) Create a business park (89) COMMUNITY FACILITIES Senior Center (178) Childcare Centers (132) Healthcare facility (164) Historic Preservation (97) Youth facility (160) Parks, Recreation (94) INFRASTRUCTURE Sidewalks (163) Water /Sewer (158) Street/alley Improvements (163) Street Lighting (153) Drainage (161) SPECIAL NEEDS Neglected & Abused Children centers (180) Substance Abuse (150) Homeless Shelters /Services (179) Disabled Centers (148) Domestic Violence facilities (155) Accessibility Improvements (140) PUBLIC SERVICES Mass Transit Services (190) Disabled Services (148) Homeless (179) Tenant/Landlord counseling (123) Crime Awareness (166) Fair Housing Education (123) Legal Services (143) OTHER Clearance/Demolition (175) City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Action Plan RESULTS OF HOUSING & HOMELESS SURVEY FOR 2010 - 2014 48 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Actions taken to overcome effects of impediments 1. 2. 3. Recommendation of Actions to Take Assist in improving fair housing delivery systems by: • Creating a fair housing entity to do outreach and education; • Arrange for fair housing training from a fair housing entity; and • Design a simple set of instructions for a uniform fair housing referral system. Assist in improving public awareness of fair housing by: • Acquiring and distributing additional fair housing flyers and pamphlets, including material about landlord tenant law, to social service agencies, residential rental property agencies, faith- based organizations and other advocate and service agencies; • Conduct outreach and education, especially to minority populations; • Consider coordinating and consulting with an existing Georgia fair housing entity to find ways to best present prospective fair housing sessions designed for the public and solicit stakeholders and others to join in raising public awareness; and • Create Web pages that educate local residents about fair housing. Consider enhancing first -time homebuyer training programs that are within the domain of the AHCDD; • Promote outreach and education related to credit for Actions Taken in Year 2012 to Overcome Impediments Staff contacted Atlanta Fair Housing Division for directions into how to move forward with providing fair housing training. Requested assistance from HUD - Atlanta in making contact with Atlanta Fair Housing Division for assistance in moving forward with fair housing training and locating a entity to provide directions. Contacted legal aid to discuss coordination and cooperation to provide a referral system. Distributed fair housing flyers to the local housing authority and rental complexes. Translated flyers into Spanish Language and distributed to rental complexes. AHCDD is actively seeking a Fair Housing entity to assist with providing directions in how to implement a fair housing program and how to get the local stakeholders involved. Staff is working with IT Department regarding placing a link on AHCDDs Home page to direct individuals to Fair Housing Information and Entities. AHCDD has discussed with the local housing counseling agencies the need to educate potential homebuyers on the Proposed Actions for 2013 to Overcome Impediments Seeking assistance from Fair Housing Agency to provide training and education services related to Fair Housing for staff and the citizens of Augusta - Richmond County. Continue to utilize radio and various advertisement sources to connect with the public and make the aware of Fair Housing Issues and Laws. AHCDD will continue to utilize local housing counseling agencies to educate potential homebuyers on credit and mortgage matters involving credit. Action Plan 49 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Action Plan 50 Version 2.0 prospective homebuyers. Include enhanced financial literacy for senior high school students. • Address establishment and wise use of good credit, including a discussion that educates prospective credit consumers about predatory lending practice • Identify the attributes of predatory loans • Create list of lenders that have targeted Augusta, Georgia citizens with predatory mortgages importance of maintaining good credit and predatory lending practice. It has been implemented during the monthly housing counseling classes. AHCDD has been unsuccessful in making contact with the Richmond County School System to provide information and to get involved with activities to reach students in high school and educate them on maintaining good credit. Capital City Bank currently has a pilot program with the school system and AHCDD has made contact with Capital City Bank to provide assistance. Additionally, with new research now available regarding predatory lending terms and products, mortgage companies that have engaged in those practices will be more easily identified. AHCDD will be able to detail the types of products based on credit requirements, down payments, interest rates and terms of financing to assist potential homebuyers from accepting these products. 4. Incorporate more formalize elements of fair housing planning into the Consolidated Plan • Convene a work group across departmental and governmental entities, at staff level, to meet regularly, such as quarterly, throughout the area to discuss differences between fair housing, the provision of affordable housing and landlord/tenant law. Invite members of local lending and real estate community to participate and enhance ability to do outreach and education. • Create a chapter of the Consolidated Plan or a completely separate plan that stipulates what the AHCDD plans to accomplish in the fair housing area. No actions taken during this reporting period. AHCDD attempted to get a representative from Atlanta Fair Housing to assist in meetings at the Augusta Board of Realtors and with the local nonprofits (CHDOs). AHCDD is seeking a Fair Housing Entity that would assist in facilitating work groups and meetings. With the implementation of funding a new Impediments Assessment AHCDD will be more prepared to identify specific causes of housing bias. This information will be crucial in directing Fair Housing practices to ensure that future tenants and buyers are aware of discriminatory practices through its outreach. City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Action Plan 50 Version 2.0 cs I A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development HO I ESS Specific Homeless Prevention Elements Homeless and Special Needs Facilities The Continuum. of Care (CoC) is a community -based planning process designed to identify the critical needs of the homeless and develop a plan of action to assist the homeless. The City' HCDD serves as the lead organization for coordinating homeless issues within the CoC process. Information is gathered through surveys of the homeless, community organizations and agencies, and homeless service providers. The information is shared with the community at large, with interested agencies and organizations and with members of the CoC. The Augusta continuum was the first in Georgia to implement a community -wide Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Coordinating entities can now produce an unduplicated count of our community's homeless population, with a total of 5,376 homeless men, women and children served in 2009. Of this total, 2,631 were children, an indication of our growing subpopulation of homeless women with children. At present, a total of 27 agencies and AHCD Department utilize this system. It is planned to offer this service to additional homeless service provider agencies, enhancing our continuum's ability to coordinate case management and client services.

Yet other factors exist as well in the state of the current housing market, which although is on an upswing, still has not completely rebound from the market crash. Some owners and renters are paying excessive amounts of their income for shelter, and others cannot afford the down payment or other costs related to purchasing a home. These conditions and trends are all indicators of the need for the construction of more affordable housing, and the provision of more rental subsidies and down payment assistance.

Develop Effective Leadership & Engage Community • Consistent, effective leadership in both the public and private sectors has the ability to implement policy that makes. active participation in ending homelessness enticing to business and the community and establish a reliable so ce of funding for successful programs. A collaboration of r tatives from non- profits and to recruit and maintain government agencies will wx p g g � an equal composition of service s, local government representation, private business an i nc dividuals from the community in order to effec r1 v ecute tegy for ending chronic homelessness.

However, we egin to seek ways to create this type of housing in Augusta use homeless people all need housing which provides a base o ` stability and security so they can address and overcome the short-term or chronic issues that led to the homelessness. Action Plan 58 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Currently Augusta lacks licensed residential treatment facilities, some service providers have only programs entailing residential /rehabilitation. Yet because of the magnitude of the problem most of these programs have waiting list. Currently, a number of barriers exist to effectively treating this population to include funding, lack of available services, the size and complexity of the problem, and differing philosophies. Housing in conjunction with a system of comprehensi e care is the key to overcoming this problem and therefore begin to create a seamless system of care, reduce barri and coordinate and to improve our local services to this po IV. Coordinate Education and Employm • A complete continuum of c s pportive s is required in order to address the i eeds of both the onic and transitional/episodic h popul ns. These inc . . ut are not limited to: housing, cal .dental trea it, food, clothing, substance abuse tr a and relapse prevention. In light of the fact that approxima • 5% of this population also suffers from a' occurring mental i s, simultaneous treatment for the mental i s be provid cation and vocational training needs was ssed an addressed to enhance � marketable skills for g " loyment.

The current perception of the causes of chronic homelessness is a tremendous barrier to building public support as causes such as drug and alcohol dependency, mental illness and failed prisoner re- entry are viewed as self-inflicted or too uncomfortable to be embraced by the general community. A � arketing campaign consisting of education on the cau d treatment of homelessness accompanied by consist eports of successes and progress are critical to the comm ility to embrace our efforts. • Maximizing funding stabili this plan as it is reliant working together to en devise a system of funding between service agencies in o dollar availab for distribution. funding prove . the federal an Richmond Co to be communities, we ; h eu e ,unifi progress would str cted toward o a mmuni 1s comical to the entation of very aspect of the s a mmunity ti onic ho elessness.

Through financial ance, we will be able to provide immediate stability, and will be able to the complexity of needs of those at risk. Through supportive services, education, and skills development, the risk factors that lead to homelessness can be ameliorated. Homelessness Prevention Several structural factors contribute to homelessness including: 1. Poverty—due to the decrease in livable wage jobs and the decline in the real value of minimum wage. Action Plan 60 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 2. Lack of Affordable Housing —U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that there are five million households in the U. S. with incomes below 50% of the local median who pay more than half of their income for rent or live in severely substandard housing. Also, there has been a decline in the number of housing units affordable to extremely low income households since 1991 and federal assistance has not been able to bridge the gap. 3. Disability— People with disabilities who are unable to .rk and must rely on entitlements can find it virtually impossible to find a `a� �� housing. 4. Cutbacks —in health, mental health and alcohol an . F g treatment services. 5. Lack of key services — affordable child care and tion. Individual risk factors that contribute to homelessn i include estic violence, chronic or unexpected health care expenses, �tre . mental s, substance � abuse /addiction, divorce or separation, "aging o of foster care, gener'f 1 poverty, lack of education and job skills, and a variety er cir tances. To ad e root causes of homelessness, we must first provide sa `ors . ,,permanent l sing with services sufficient to meet the needs of the homeles ` u unity. Once the basic needs of housing, nutrition and clothing are met, the next cr, issues will include physical and mental health needs, legal iss .b training an ployment, and financial i �/ y management skills. ��� ��� '' rs build and maintain a comprehensive home assistance ne that propose strategies to end homelessness for ray individuals and f ilies and will help attain the investment needed to achiev at end e must buil ® successful programs that are in place, expanding their caps ' ty to m eet the level need and put in place policies and agreements to work tog th as o e comprehensive and effective countywide system of To achieve this mission will require Di # u planning `® help those leaving institutions and rehabilitation programs access ® sing, men l << health, and other necessary community services to prevent homeles s for tho with mental illness or substance abuse.

Continuum of Care (CoC) Discharge Planning Foster Care (Youth Aging Out): • Foster Care Discharge Protocol Formal Protocol Implemented if a youth in care reaches 18 and is unable to transition to independent living or be reunited with their family, they have the option of signing a Consent to Remain In Foster Care. This allows the youth to stay in the foster care system until such time that they are able to live independently or until the time that they are 24 years of age. In addition, youth in foster care are assigned an Independent Living Coordinator and work with staff to develop a Written Transitional Living Plan.

The grant is designed to shift Medicaid Long -Term Care from its emphasis on institutional care to home and community -based services. MFP uses home and community based Medicaid waiver services and one -time transition services to help people resettle in the community. MFP is a joint effort between the Department of Community Health (DCH) and the Department of Human Resources (DHR) to transition consumers from institutional settings to a community setting. Through MFP, the state will establish a seamless information and referral process using transition coordinators, support services, and increased availability of affordable housing and transportation. The target populations include older adults, adults and children with physical disabilities and/or Traumatic Brain Injury, and adults or children with mental retardation and /or developmental disabilities. The goal is to transition individuals from nursing facilities, hospitals and/ or intermediate Care Facilities for Mental Retardation (ICF -MR) to qualified community residences and rebalance the long -term care system by offering enhanced transition services for 12 months for qualified persons transitioning from a qualified institution to a qualified community- setting. Attachments: Money Follows the Person Mental Health: Mental Health Discharge Protocol: Formal Protocol Implemented The Continuity of Care Transition Planning Guidance is provided to all state mental health hospitals. The hospitals are asked to develop a Transition Plan for all individuals being discharged which addresses multiple areas including housing and residential supports. Staff conduct assessments to identify those individuals that are at risk of re- admission, including whether or not they have been or will be homeless. Staff and community providers identify services that will address these needs and determine how services will be made available. Transition planning begins at admission including linking individuals up with community based service providers. Regional coordinators oversee the Continuity of Care planning and assure that collaboration is occurring between hospitals and community based providers. Any individual that has been hospitalized more than 60 days and is considered appropriate for discharge is placed on the Mental Health Planning List: No person on this list is discharged without an appropriate Person Centered Transition Plan that provides for the individual's receipt of appropriate community services. The State will monitor performance measures that track the quality and consistency of the transition planning process.

The residence must be considered stable and suitable. A homeless shelter is not considered to be a valid residence. No individual is released on parole directly to a homeless facility. The Reentry Partnership Housing Program was formed to facilitate the transition of individuals that are eligible for parole but lack a residence. This program is a collaborative effort between the State Board of Pardons and Parole, the Department of Corrections and the Department of Community Affairs. The program provides participating organizations with short term financial assistance in exchange for the provision of stable housing and food. There are four Pre - Release Centers throughout the State which address the reentry needs of offenders who have two years or less to serve. These centers focus on locating suitable housing and meaningful work upon discharge. The Department of Corrections also has a Faith and Character Based Initiative which matches ex- offenders with faith based organizations that assist the individual with housing and mentoring upon release.

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA BY: Ci L " ;1141 David S. Copenhaver �J Mayor 11 0/2. mission, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of a Resolution as 4OND COUNTY COMMISSION in meeting held on October 2, 2012. .0' / S. / 1 ti Clerk of Commission Attachment 1 Augusta - Richmond County Population Trends When considering the minority population of the City of Augusta, it is important to note the proportions of minorities throughout the city. Augusta - Richmond County is predominantly Black; 39.1 percent of residents are White, 4.1 percent are Hispanic, and less than two percent each of Native American, Pacific Islander and Asian populations. The City of Augusta's academic, medical, and business environments attract a wide variety of people. Blacks (non- Hispanic) make up 54.7 percent of the population while Asians (non - Hispanic) are at 1.7 percent and people of Native American origin account for 0.2 percent. The only minority group under- represented compared to the State level is the Hispanic population with Augusta only showing 4.1 percent of the population as being comprised of this group. U. S. Census Bureau: State and County QuickFacts http: / /quickfacts.census.gov /qfd /states /13/1304204.htm I 0 White persons, percent, 2010 (a) 39.1% American Indian and Alaska Native persons, percent, 2010 0.3% (a) O Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, percent, 2010 0.2% (a) O Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin, percent, 2010 (b) Defmition of Minority Concentration 4.1% A minority concentration is defined herein as any tract where the population of any minority group is ten percent more than the citywide proportion. Mapping of the City shows the Black and White populations shifting in number, depending upon the Census Tract in question, throughout the city. Nevertheless, the White population is not a demographic minority within the country or state and therefore, despite population trends within the county, the only minority group that appears as a concentration, according to this definition will be that of Blacks. Not surprisingly, the areas showing a concentration of minorities are where older and in most instances dilapidated housing is located. These are older citizens that have been a part of these communities for quite some time and either due to financial inability, or lack of desire, have remained constants within population counts and research data. Tracts 6 and 7 include some of the City's oldest neighborhoods, the only remaining Public Housing development, and the greatest degree of blight and abandonment in the city. Yet, these Tract 6 and 7 at 68.9 percent and at 89.2 percent respectively, show a concentration by this definition according to U. S. Census Data information. Definition of Racial Mix The emergence of more mixed -race communities, especially those with growing Hispanic and Asian populations, calls out for examining how policy might foster racial and ethnic integration, and encourage positive social outcomes in an increasingly diverse society. However, with the City of Augusta's dominantly represented minority group still being Blacks, the definition of a "mixed" community herein will be that of any tract where the population of any minority group is within ten percent of the citywide proportion. Mapping the City illustrates that Tracts 110 and 12 show a distinctive shift in the population percentages. These include neighborhoods with some of the most expensive housing in the city in neighborhoods like Riverfront and The Whites Building, continued development of streets and roadways, and several new major economic development projects like the TEE Center and new John H. Ruffin, Jr. Judicial Center. Tracts 110 and 12 at 44.0 percent and 50.2 percent respectively represent areas of more racial balance between the majority and the dominant minority group for the City. Allocating Investments Geographically Area -based programs have long been a feature of urban policy in the City of Augusta. Some of these programs target areas because they have large numbers of individuals in need based on statistical data retrieved from sources such as the Census. However, others target areas because of the area characteristics themselves including population concentrations. One rationale is that this is an effective means to target lower income persons. A second major rationale for area -based targeting is that concentrated poverty may have cumulative and qualitatively different effects on individuals, organizations, and infrastructure than less concentrated poverty, forming one category of `area effects'. This means that in addition to any intervention to support to poor individuals, additional special interventions may be needed to support individuals, organizations and infrastructure in these areas. Thirdly, area -based funding can be used as a form of rationing funding. In some cases, the government makes available new money for a specific purpose which will only be targeted towards areas with specific needs, usually fewer than the total number of areas with those needs, because resources are limited. In considering the extent to which area -based indices are effective in targeting needy individuals, a first issue is to establish what indices are being used and what elements of need they are attempting to measure. Some measures produce an absolute score for deprivation but many give a relative outcome, usually expressed in a ranking of different areas. Area deprivation indices can include a wide range of domains of deprivation, including income, employment, health and disability, education, skills and training, housing, and access to services. In utilizing both methods, the effectiveness of targeting the poor and/or those in need is illustrated. Area targeting is a more complete way of reaching the identified poor while indices are necessary to reach areas where targeting traditional minority concentrations is unsuccessful. Likewise this dual methodology is more effective in reaching some sub - groups, particularly children, than others, like targeting alone. The use of which method to employ in what area should depend on the type of intervention, the costs and benefits expected to be produced, and the particular balance between completeness and efficiency in each case.

Wheeler III Director Organizations will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or familial status. Organizations will take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or the organization's social status. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or advertising; lay-off or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. All organizations agree to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by Augusta setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. All organization agrees to make efforts to encourage the use of minority and women -owned business enterprises in connection with HOME supported activities. Affirmative marketing procedures must continue throughout the period of affordability. For single - family homeownership dwellings, the plan remains in effect until all the dwelling units are sold. All agencies receiving HOME funds shall adopt policies and procedures that inform the public, potential tenants, and property owners of its Affirmative Marketing Policy /Strategy. At a minimum the Affirmative Marketing Policy /Strategy of an agency must: • commit to including the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype in press releases and solicitations for participation in the program; • have a policy for referrals of housing questions and complaints to its fair housing provider, agency or organization that can provide advice on the state and federal fair housing laws; and • At least once annually, conduct a public outreach effort that will make available to the public information on all rental units that have received assistance. Minimally, this information will include the address of the units and the address and phone number of the owner. At a minimum, the Affirmative Marketing Policy /Strategy will require that owners of projects containing 5 or more units receiving assistance will comply with the following: • Prior to sales or rental activity, the agency shall identify at least 3 groups, organizations, or agencies actively involved with serving low - income persons who would benefit from special outreach efforts. Annually, the owner shall provide these groups with information on assisted units throughout the period of affordability. Part 3 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Augusta Housing & Community Development Department 925 Laney- Walker Boulevard, 2 Floor - Augusta, Georgia 30901 (706) 821 -1797 — Fax (706) 821 -1784 — TDD (706) 821 -1783 www.augustaga.gov Chester A. Wheeler III Director • If any units are publicly advertised during the period of affordability, the Equal Housing Opportunity logo must accompany the advertisement. • The owner must display the Equal Housing Opportunity logo and fair housing poster in an area accessible to the public (e.g., the rental office). • The owner will maintain information on the race, sex, and ethnicity of applicants and tenants to demonstrate the results of the owner's affirmative marketing efforts. • The owner will, for the period of affordability, maintain information demonstrating compliance with item 1, 2 and 4 above, and will make such information available to the local administrator or the State of Georgia upon request. Each agency shall maintain records indicating compliance with the above policies including: • Records documenting the recipient's or subrecipient's annual outreach efforts to affirmatively market assisted units, including an annual evaluation of the effectiveness of these efforts. Minimally, this evaluation shall include a discussion with the organizations or agencies identified in item 1 of Part 2 above, as to the number of referrals made on the basis of the information provided by the owners of assisted units. • Monitoring records (to be maintained by all state recipients of funds) that indicat the extent to which the owner has complied with the requirements of items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Part 2 above, and remedies to resolve instances of non - compliance. Recapture Guidelines for HOME - Assisted Homebuyers 24 CFR 91.254 requires that the City, its subrecipients, and CHDOs follow certain resale restrictions with regard to its HOME - funded homebuyer program. Each property sold to a homebuyer will remain affordable for the duration of the affordability period or the City will use the recapture option. The City will frequently make second mortgage HOME - funded loans to qualified purchasers for down payment assistance, closing costs, and gap financing and/or rehabilitation activities. If, or when, the buyer decides to sell the house, the City will expect full payment of its second mortgage HOME loan. The City will utilize the recapture provision of the resale restrictions as outlined in 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4)(ii). The City will ensure that recaptured funds from net sales proceeds and/or monthly repayments will be used to assist other homebuyer activities. The City will accept less than full payment of its second mortgage HOME loan only: 1. If the current appraised value of the house is less than it was at the time it was initially purchased; and 2 If funds, after paying off the private first mortgage from the sale proceeds, is less than the balance owed on the second mortgage HOME loan. 3 When it is in the best interest of the HOME Program and the City of Augusta to discount the principal balance due the City of Augusta, the amount of the discount shall not result in a windfall benefit to the debtor. If there are sale proceeds remaining after paying off the first and second mortgage loans, the seller will be entitled to keep these. The City does not anticipate using HOME funds to write -down the sale price of the house to an amount lower than the appraised value. Should a need for this type of write -down occur, the City will collect this subsidy following recapture option provisions -- unless, after paying off the first and second mortgage, there are no remaining sale proceeds. Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS About the Program The Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program was authorized by the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and revised under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, to provide states and localities with the resources and incentives to devise and implement long -term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of low - income persons with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and related diseases, and their families. Activities of primary importance are providing housing assistance and services that assist this population to maintain housing stability where they can maintain complex medication regimens and address HIV /AIDS related problems. These include, but are not limited to, the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of housing units; costs for facility operations; rental assistance; and short-term payments to prevent homelessness. HOPWA funds also may be used for health care and mental health services, chemical dependency treatment, nutritional services, case management, assistance with daily living, and other supportive services. Funds are appropriated annually by Congress to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for administration of this program. HOPWA funds are then awarded by formula to eligible states and Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Areas (EMSAs) that meet the minimum number of cumulative AIDS cases. States and metropolitan areas coordinate use of HOPWA funds with their respective Consolidated Plans, a collaborative process whereby the state or metropolitan area establishes a unified vision for community development actions. Rental assistance is short-term assistance that helps clients with rent for three months. Emergency assistance provides funds for client emergencies such as security deposits, utility bills, and small home repairs. Utility assistance provides funds for client utility bills such as electricity, natural gas, and water. Motel assistance provides for motel stays for clients traveling long distances to their medical appointments. Tenant based rental assistance provides a subsidy toward housing costs. Homeless prevention provides funds to prevent the incidence of homelessness such as rent, utilities, and security deposits. Supportive Services provides funding for mental health, personal assistance, nutrition, and other services not covered by any other funding source. The estimated amount of the FY 2013 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program formula allocation to Augusta is $425,840. As the Formula Grant Administrator, the city of Augusta is responsible for coordinating the allocation of HOPWA funds to eligible projects throughout the metropolitan area and reporting to HUD on program implementation. As a result, Augusta is working with other local governments and service agencies in the metropolitan area to develop a strategy to address the needs of persons with HIV /AIDS and grants these HOPWA funds to eligible project sponsors based on a competitive application process. During the review of the 2013 Action Plan, the City sought public input on the needs of persons with HIV /AIDS. Specific HOPWA Objectives The purpose of the HOPWA Program is to provide states and localities with resources and incentives to devise long -term strategies for meeting the housing needs of low- income persons living with HIV /AIDS and their families. This focus on providing housing assistance and related support services for HOPWA - eligible clients will reduce the risks of homelessness for this population and increase access to appropriate healthcare and other support. Homelessness, HIV disease, and access to health care are fundamentally interconnected. Stable housing coupled with supportive services responsive to their complex needs, increases the ability of persons living with HIV /AIDS, particularly those who are low income, to access and adhere to life - sustaining HIV /AIDS treatment. Without stable housing, persons with HIV /AIDS cannot access the complex treatment and care vital to survival. Access to clean water, bathrooms, refrigeration, food, and the ability to take medications on a routine schedule can be severely impaired, resulting in declining health. Therefore, Augusta, Georgia seeks to meet the following goals through its HOPWA program funding: • To ensure that progress is being made toward meeting the HOPWA goal for providing affordable housing using HOPWA funds and other resources for persons with HIV /AIDS and their families through a comprehensive community plan; • To ensure that community -wide HIV /AIDS housing strategies are meeting HUD's national goal of increasing the availability of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low- income persons living with HIV /AIDS; • To ensure that community strategies produce and support actual units of housing for persons living with HIV /AIDS; and finally, • To ensure that community strategies identify and supply related supportive services in conjunction with housing to ensure the needs of persons living with HIV /AIDS and their families are met. Applicant (Project Sponsor) Eligibility Applicants must be a nonprofit (including faith -based organizations) or governmental housing agency currently receiving HOPWA funding targeting services to individuals living within the eligible metropolitan statistical areas. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to manage the HOPWA program and all applicable federal policies and procedures including compliance with federal and state non - discrimination laws. Applicants must have established standard accounting practices including internal controls, fiscal accounting procedures and cost allocation plans and be able to track agency and program budgets by revenue sources and expenses. Applicants with outstanding audit findings, IRS findings, monitoring findings or other compliance issues are not eligible for a HOPWA grant. Please note that HCD will work with all interested parties toward the resolution of unresolved matters, where appropriate. Applicants should demonstrate the ability to coordinate, where appropriate, program participant services with other service providers and leverage where possible other resources toward meeting overall program participant needs and program goals. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to meet all reporting and record keeping requirements including maintaining the confidentiality of program participant records. Eligible applicants should be able to demonstrate sufficient organizational capacity to include but not limited to the following: • Previous experience running similar programs • Appropriate program oversight • Effective grant management experience • Adequate capacity for data collection and reporting • Ability to leverage program with other resources October 2, 2012 Mr. Chester Wheeler Director — Housing & Community Development 925 Laney Walker Blvd. Augusta, GA 30901 Dear Chester: The Augusta - Richmond County Commission, at their regular meeting held on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 took action on the following items. 6.

However, there are a number of areas which need to be addressed and or expanded on. Please see isting below for corrections needed: 1 > 1) In regards to the attached Fair Housing for HOME notice, the third section covers site selection for new ; onstruction rental. I don't recall seeing any new construction HOME rental units (which have specific site selection criteria), however each program administrators should read the attached notice in order to ensure compliance in the Fair Housing areas. > 2) See a and b questions below which I could not answer from my checklist. In question a's response, please provide a definition for "minority concentration ". Please expand your Executive Summary on page 75 to include the a and b areas. > a) Did the grantee describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income and /or racial /minority concentration) in which assistance will be directed during the next year. > b) Did the grantee describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) (91.215(a)(1)) during the next year and the rationale for assigning the priorities. > 3) In the HOME program review, I could not find an answer to the question below (please expend the NOME section to include the narrative for this question): > Did the jurisdiction describe actions taken to establish and oversee a minority outreach program within its jurisdiction to ensure inclusion, to the maximum extent possible, of minority and women, and entities owned by minorities and women, including without limitation, real estate firms, construction firms, appraisal firms, management firms, financial institutions, investment banking firms, underwriters, accountants, and providers of legal services, in all contracts, entered into by the participating jurisdiction with such persons or entities, public and private, in order to facilitate the activities of the participating jurisdiction to provide affordable housing under the HOME program or any other Federal housing law applicable to such jurisdiction? > 4) The second attachment has the 2012 CPD Notice on Resale and Recapture. There is a checklist I have to complete beginning on page 19 going to page 37. I am thinking only 19 to 25 apply to the City since you should only be using Recapture. Please provide a word doc attachment narrative to the Action Plan titled "HOME Recapture Provisions" and answer the 7 questions in the Recapture section. If in fact you are doing both Resale and Recapture, then continue and answer the 6 additional Resale questions and of course re -title the attachment "Resale and Recapture Provisions ". > 5) In the HOPWA section, please expand the narrative to answer the question below: Does the action plan identify the method for selecting project sponsors (including providing full access to grassroots faith -based and other community organizations)? 2 > 6) In reconciling the narrative listing of projects on pages 76 to 85 to the amounts available, I noted the below: > CDBG activities listed: $1,923,227 > Funds Available: $1,873,227 (see page 76) > Out of balance; $50,000 > ESG activities listed: $110,445 > Funds Available: $176,697 > Out of balance: $66,252 > HOME and HOPWA balanced. Note, I did not reconcile your narrative totals to the project listed tables. However, I did note, Family Y Improvements, has a table but is not present in the narrative and looks to be a public service activity. And the Salvation Army of Greater Georgia is shown as a public facilities project and the both narrative /table indicate it is a public service activity. 7) On pages 67 — 86 the word DRAFT is imprinted into the pages of the copy sent to our office.

Wheeler, III Director GENERAL The Augusta - Richmond County Action Plan for 2013 serves two purposes. First, the Action Plan is a plan outlining the local strategy to address needs in the areas of community development, economic development, housing, and homelessness. The Action Plan includes background information on Augusta - Richmond County, a housing and community development strategy for the year 2013, and a description of the projects to be implemented during the 2013 program year. Second, the Action Plan serves as the grant application for projects funded under the following formula based programs: Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). Several other federal programs require that funding applications be consistent with an approved consolidated plan. The Action Plan is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to encourage more coordination of economic and community development activities at the local level, to promote citizen participation, and to simplify the process for obtaining federal funds under HUD programs. Augusta is located in east central Georgia adjacent to the state's border with South Carolina. Augusta is the county seat for Richmond County. Hephzibah and Blythe are the other two incorporated places in the county. Augusta - Richmond County is a central city in the Augusta - Aiken, GA - SC Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Other counties in the MSA are Columbia, McDuffie and Burke in Georgia and Aiken and Edgefield in South Carolina. Augusta - Richmond County is a municipality created by the merger of the city of Augusta and unincorporated areas of Richmond County on January 1, 1996. As a result, the physical and demographic characteristics of the community reflect those of an older city merged with newer suburbs. The following table summarizes population change in Richmond County between 1980 and 2000. 4 Version 2.0 Hephzibah* 2,466 3,880 3908 Blythe* 300 713 815 Unincorporated* 142,314 0 0 Total Households Richmond County 68,675 73,921 86,331 Augusta 18,819 72,307 84,427 Hephzibah 822 1,374 1677 Blythe 101 240 227 Unincorporated 48,933 0 0 Average Household Size Richmond County 2.61 2.55 2.51 Augusta 2.26 2.55 2.49 Notes: *Augusta and Richmond County consolidated on January 1, 1996.

Wheeler, III Director The map below depicts which census tracts in Richmond County experienced a loss, gain, or no change in population between 1990 and 2000. The tracts shaded in black and dark gray experienced population loss, and those shaded in light gray and white experienced population gain. In general, there was population loss in the older urban core of the city — clustered in the central to northeast sections of Richmond County —and population gain on the Northwestern edge and Southern area of the county. However, there are pockets within the old city limits that did experience population growth. For example, census tract 4 (flanking the Savannah River, just south of the Riverwalk) and adjacent census tract 6 (in which US 1 enters the city) both gained population in the nineties. Tracts 10, 12, and 14 (southwest of downtown) also gained population.

S *Total population for Bureau of the Census Augusta- Richmond County does not account for elderly persons over age 85 (201,217) HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director In 2010, Augusta - Richmond County's population was 54.7 percent Black, 39.1 percent White, 0.3 percent American Indian/Alaskan Native, 1.7 percent Asian, 0.2 percent Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander, 1 percent some other race, and 2.6 percent two or more races. This marks a change in racial composition from 2000, during when the county's population was 45 percent White, 50.0 percent Black, and 4.9 percent other races. Augusta and Richmond County continue to reflect the age characteristics of a relatively mature community. The following table includes information on age structure in the county. The school age population 5 -17 years old comprises approximately 17% of the population. Those elderly (65 and over) account for another 13% of the population. The county's median age rose from 32.3 in 2000 to 33.2 in the year 2010. Median household income and per capita income are indicators of the buying power of residents in a community. Even with increases up to $37,609 and $20,629 respectively, Augusta and Richmond County figures continue to lag behind comparable averages for the state at $25,134 and $49,347. Among the factors that probably contribute to Augusta's low averages are higher percentages of poverty households, non - family households, and households receiving public assistance. The following map shows median household income as a percentage of the citywide median income of each of the forty census tracts. The map indicates that low - income census tracts - those tracts have median incomes that are less than $26,378, which was 80 percent of Augusta - Richmond County's median income - stretch in a southwest direction from downtown and its adjacent tracts. Census Tracts 4, 8, 7, 9, 14, and 15 each have median incomes of less than $16,486 (50 percent of Augusta - Richmond County's median income at the time).

Similarly, all of these tracts except for 4 and 14 lost population between 1990 and 2000. The chart below illustrates the housing characteristics of Augusta Richmond County. Eighty -six percent of available housing is occupied, single family detached property. However, the development of new housing has steadily declined since 1970, the greatest percentage of all owner occupied housing is still worth less $100,000.00, and 68.2% of all homeowners currently carry a mortgage. And in comparing the median gross income of households for the area with housing rates, including both mortgages and rent payments, the majority of occupants exhaust upwards of 40% ($1253.63) of their gross monthly income on housing expenses.

Census Bureau 1 : / /factfinder2.census.gov/ faces / tableservices /j sf/ pages /productview.xhtml ?src =bkmk Managing the Process Vision and Objectives HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director The foundation of the 2013 Annual Action Plan is a shared vision of the future of the community. The city's vision is essentially a statement of basic policies that guide housing and community development activities. The vision provides a sense of direction for the community and serves as a reference point for the coordination of programs. Augusta - Richmond County envisions a future in which all residents have decent and affordable housing, have ready access to educational and economic opportunities, and are served by all the essential public facilities. Neighborhoods will be places where people can live, work and play in relative security. Some neighborhood commercial establishments will provide those products and services needed by residents on a daily basis. Other businesses will provide products and services to markets outside of the neighborhood. Job opportunities will be available within neighborhoods and at other locations in the metropolitan area. Each neighborhood will have its own unique qualities, based on its history, culture and physical characteristics, but will be seen as an integral part of the entire city. Public facilities and services — such as health care, transit, day care and schools — will be used to help residents overcome barriers to housing, employment, and essential needs. The City will implement a five -year strategic plan and an annual Action Plan with this vision in mind. The following local objectives will guide the city's efforts: OBJECTIVES OF 2013 ACTION PLAN AND FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN 1. Encourage citizen participation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the community development program. 2. Improve the existing housing stock for low and moderate income households. Action Plan 9 Version 2.0 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director 3. Increase the number of jobs and amount of private capital invested in the city, particularly in the Central Business District and neighborhood commercial areas. 4. Support public facilities and services that contribute to revitalization and provide public facility improvements that support physical development and revitalization. 5. Promote the preservation and restoration of historically significant structures and landmarks in the city. Housing and Community Development Resources Augusta - Richmond County expects a mix of public and private resources to be available during the five year expanse of the Consolidated Plan to achieve its strategic goals. Public resources include CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, Facade and local government funds and in -kind contributions. The required one -to -one match for ESG funds will be in the form of funding committed by the agencies that receive assistance. ESG resources include value of donated materials, salary paid to staff of non- profits in carrying out the program and the time and services contributed by volunteers determine at the rate of $10 per hour. Matching funds for the HOME Program are expected to come from a number of sources including capital improvement projects funded by 1% sales tax and private resources. New Initiatives and Resources The city of Augusta will use employ several new initiatives and resources as part of the Consolidated Plan. These initiatives and resources include the following: • Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy - On March 27, 2009, HUD approved the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy, (NRS), for the Laney Walker & Bethlehem Neighborhoods. This Strategy, referred to as NRS, will allow the Augusta Housing and Community Development Department (AHCDD) to modify several of its programs in order to take advantage of the NRS enhanced regulatory flexibility. The NRS relates to the implementation of CDBG Funds and provides regulatory flexibility in order to promote neighborhood revitalization at a higher level. With CDBG funding, one of three National Objectives must be met: i) Benefit Low- Mod - Income (LMI); ii) Aid in the elimination and/or prevention of slums and blight; or iii) Meet urgent needs of the community. Once an activity is verified that it supports one of these national objectives, the Sub - recipient who receives funding for the activity must validate that it provides benefit to the community. This benefit is either in providing Services to Low- Mod - Income (LMI) people or in the Creation/Retention of LMI Jobs. The validation for a Sub - recipient to prove either the public benefit or creation/retention of jobs is very time consuming and Action Plan 10 Version 2.0 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director requires tedious and complete paperwork. Many times, Sub- recipients do not apply for funding because of the labor intensive process to either show public benefit or the tracking of job creation/retention. The overall purpose of the NRS is to provide assistance to a revitalization program and to augment the CDBG program in the designated community to allow a grantee to implement programs that are outside the normal regulatory process. In order to do this, once a grantee has an approved NRS, they can implement programs that have more flexibility and can appeal to a larger number of potential Sub - recipients. With regulatory flexibility, the grantee can provide programs with higher dollar values, minimize Sub - recipient tracking paperwork, and in the end, promote the higher possibility of creating and retaining jobs. By providing services across board in the community, the CDBG funding can also begin to tackle programs that incent higher income level families to work and live in the revitalized area.

An enterprise zone is a designated geographic area within a city or county where there is an organized effort to revitalize economic development of the community. The Laney Walker Development Zone was created to overlay the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) Boundaries in order to provide tax incentives to encourage growth in businesses and housing. A tax exempt schedule has been created for the Laney Walker Enterprise Zone. For the first five years, qualifying businesses and residential projects are exempt from all state, county, and municipal ad valorem taxes, except for the portion of the taxes that are collected for the Richmond County Board of Education. The following schedule illustrates the Tax Exempt Schedule: Tax Exempt Schedule Laney Walker Enterprise Zone HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Chester A. Wheeler, III Director During 2009, the Laney Walker Enterprise Zone was expanded to include the same boundaries as the NRS. This allows the zone to include the Bethlehem Neighborhood which is also a part of the downtown revitalization effort. The Enterprise Zone will have one expanded piece that allows the boundary to go past the Laney Walker Neighborhood and extend from Walton Way to Telfair. This part of the zone is primarily commercial and will help to support businesses moving to town and also encourage businesses to move to the area. The combination of commercial businesses and residential housing will provide long term growth initiative and increase neighborhood stabilization.

The Harrisburg area in Augusta has been qualified to encourage new businesses to locate in the city or existing businesses to expand. The incentive which is available for new or existing businesses within the Opportunity Zone which create two or more jobs are credits, to receive $3,500 in employee tax credits for each new job which can be taken against the business's income tax liability and state payroll withholding. The credits are available for areas designated by DCA as "Opportunity Zones ". DCA will consider designations for areas that are within or adjacent to a census block group with 15% or greater poverty where an enterprise zone or urban redevelopment plan exists. Figure C2 -2 illustrates the Harrisburg West Opportunity Zone/Enterprise Zone. Opportunity Zone Tax Credit Incentives: • the maximum Job Tax Credit allowed under law - $3,500 per job created • the lowest job creation threshold of any job tax credit program - 2 jobs • use of Job Tax Credits against 100 percent of income tax liability and Withholding • expansion of the definition of "business enterprise" to include all businesses of any nature Action Plan 15 Version 2.0 Figure C2 -2 Illustrates the Boundaries of the Harrisburg West Opportunity Zone/Enterprise Zone Action Plan 16 HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTIV F Version 2.0 Chester A.

As a result, housing units in many older neighborhoods have deteriorated, been abandoned, or demolished. The deterioration of the housing stock erodes the living environment for residents in the affected neighborhoods, and reduces housing choices for those who cannot afford to live elsewhere. Housing affordability is another problem revealed by the market analysis. There are cost burdened owners and renters in both inner city and suburban neighborhoods. These represent households that lack the income and/or information needed to expand their choice of housing. In some cases, they also face institutional barriers to living in affordable, standard housing. As the economic conditions continue to have a major impact on the mortgage and housing industry, the five years housing goals will remain constant in order to support the existing and projected market conditions. The city's housing strategy includes a mix of acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, financing, planning, and capacity building activities. Housing rehabilitation is targeted at units throughout the community that meet program guidelines. New construction will take place at locations in inner city neighborhoods where units have been demolished and/or where vacant lots are located. Down payment assistance will be provided to qualifying first -time homebuyers. The AHCD Department, the Augusta Housing Authority, developers, private lenders, CHDOs and other nonprofit housing finance organizations are among the entities that will implement the housing strategy. The following table summarizes the proposed five -year accomplishments by income category. Action Plan 19 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development HOUSING STRATEGY OBJECTIVES & EXPECTED 2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1. Preserve and protect the existing housing stock for low and moderate income persons through repair, rehabilitation and prevention of deterioration. • Homeowner Rehabilitation Program — Rehabilitate 13 units (CDBG) • Rental Rehabilitation Program — Rehabilitate 0 units (HOME) • Emergency Grant Program — Assist 20 units (CDBG) • Paint Program — Assist 15 units (CDBG) • Utility (Sewer) Hookup Program — Assist 5 units (CDBG) 2. Increase the supply of affordable housing for low and moderate income families with the assistance of Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) and other housing organizations. • Homeowner Housing Construction Program — Construct 2 housing units (HOME/CHDO) • Rental Housing Construction Program — Construct 0 units (HOME) 3. Provide the means for ownership of homes by low and moderate income families. • Homeownership Assistance Program — Assist 50 households 4.

Augusta - Richmond County will also seek to increase economic development opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses and create new job opportunities for low and moderate income persons as part of its Non - Housing Community Development Strategy. In implementing an economic development strategy, the city will be striving to achieve the following goals: 1. Increase access to capital for small businesses by offering a Small Business Loan program; 2. Increase the number of jobs for low and moderate income persons and the amount of private capital invested in the city, particularly in the Central Business District and neighborhood commercial areas; Accessing capital through conventional sources has traditionally been difficult for small and minority businesses. The AHCD Department has developed The Small Business Development Loan Program that will assist these disadvantaged businesses in obtaining capital. These loans are eligible to small and minority owned businesses to help retain existing jobs and/or to create new job opportunities for low and moderate income persons. Loan amounts under both programs range from $5,000 up to $35,000. Loan funds can be used to start up or expand a business, develop or recycle blighted or vacant land and/or facilities, and provide capital for manufacturing to help achieve economic diversification. Lead Agency The Augusta Housing and Community Development Department (AHCDD) is the lead agency in the development of the Consolidated Plan and the implementation of Plan projects in Augusta - Richmond Action Plan 3. Provide technical assistance and a training program to strengthen long range planning, management, finance and accounting capabilities of small businesses; and 4. Promote the preservation and restoration of historically significant structures and landmarks in the city. 23 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development County. The department has over twenty years experience in administering Augusta's housing and community development programs. As a result, the department has well - established relationships with neighborhood groups, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, developers, and social service agencies involved in community development. The department has a staff of eighteen, and is divided into two areas: Housing and Programs. The Housing group coordinates HOME - financed housing rehabilitation and new construction projects, and offers down payment assistance to low- to moderate - income first -time homebuyers. This division also administers the Housing Opportunities for People with Aids (HOPWA) Program, which is designed to offer a series of housing services to people who are suffering from HIV /AIDS. The Programs division is concerned with public improvements, development, and public and nonprofit service delivery affecting low- and moderate - income areas and manages the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. It also manages any project funded under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program. The Programs division also provides assistance to businesses and promotes economic revitalization and implements the Facade program to renovate storefronts in the downtown area. The Programs division works with other economic development organizations and associations to attract new businesses and employment to Augusta - Richmond County. Departmental Study and Analysis The United States has completed the 2010 census and has compiled new statistics. The new data has impacted the amount of Federal Funding each city receives. The census data provides a city with valuable information on where to spend federal dollars in order to support the segment of the population that needs it the most. These economic conditions constantly change and therefore it is ever important to have new data on population trends and economic conditions in order to create an effective five year plan and implement it over to course of each year's action plan. As we head into 2013, the new census data is available and with the department's expanded market study providing gap analysis of the retail/services market, AHCDD will have ample data to enhance economic development in the area. Part of this Market Study was to understand the population and employment trends in and around Richmond County and how this would impact our current CDBG and HOME Programs. Figure D -1 illustrates the area in which the Market Study was performed the division of the area into three study areas. The Study has been updated to include updated market analysis data for the downtown area's commercial utilization for the facade rehabilitation program.

Mend b% RKG Mesh 7x09 LEGEND - Primary Study Region Competitive Study Region Surrounding Study Region Action Plan 25 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Summary of Maior Findings • The Laney -Walker and Bethlehem neighborhoods (referred to as the Primary Study Region) have lost 35.5% of their population since 1990, while population has increased in those areas of Augusta - Richmond County south of Interstate 520 and in study areas in neighboring counties. • The Primary Study Region (PSR) historically has remained an African - American community. • Currently, more than 96% of residents are of African- American decent. The racial mix is more diverse in surrounding neighborhoods, becoming more heavily Caucasian in the furthest study areas. • The median age in Laney- Walker (38.5 years) and Bethlehem (40.3 years) is noticeably higher than in any of the competitive study areas. This is due, in part, to the comparatively affordable and price stable housing options in the PSR, which allows local residents to more easily age in place. • The Primary Study Region has experienced a net decline of approximately 1,100 households since 1990, accounting for a net 35% loss from the base year total. This decline is contributing to the supply of vacant housing in the area. In contrast, the close - proximity competitive study areas have experienced stability in number of households, maintaining a steady occupancy rate. • Areas not considered competitive, but located near the Primary Study Region, are showing an increase of households due to concerted development efforts. • Both the Laney -Walker and Bethlehem neighborhoods have median household income levels approximately 60% below the Augusta - Richmond County level of $41,083. However, there are small but significant portions of Laney - Walker (16.0 %) and Bethlehem (15.7 %) with household income levels at or above the City - County median. • Residents in the Primary Study Area have comparatively lower education attainment levels than the competitive study areas Almost half of the over 24- year -old population in these neighborhoods have not completed high school. • In addition, competitive study areas located in close proximity to the hospitals downtown and Fort Gordon, have the highest percentages of residents with some level of post - secondary education, nearly tripling that of residents in Laney - Walker or Bethlehem. • There is a high level of unemployment in the PSR (21.8 %). In contrast, areas deemed competitive have a 15.3% rate and surrounding areas are at 10.2 %. This disparity is likely indicative of minimal job growth and an undereducated workforce. Action Plan 26 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Nearly one - quarter of the 84,500 jobs in Augusta - Richmond County are in the health care and social assistance economic sector. The Medical College of Georgia (MCG), University Hospital and the Medical College of Georgia Health System are all located near the Primary Study Region, and account for approximately 11,000 jobs. Other large employers include the County government (2,612 jobs), FPL Food (500 jobs), and Thermal Ceramics (444 jobs). Summary of Population Trends and Projections Half of the population (52.1%) in Augusta - Richmond County resides inside the Bobby Jones Expressway (I -520). However, this area has been experiencing a slow decline since 1990, when it accounted for 60% of all City - County residents. The shift away from this portion of the City - County has been particularly strong in the Primary Study Region, which has lost 35.5% of its population. The Bethlehem neighborhood has seen a slightly greater percentage loss than the Laney- Walker neighborhood during this time. The steady decline in population in the Primary Study Region from over 7,000 residents to less than 5,000, has contributed to the increase in vacant housing units. In comparison, the Surrounding Study Region has experienced a net increase in population sincel990. The highest population growth rates have occurred in the South County and Evans/Martinez areas with each study area experiencing rates of nearly 40 %. Anecdotal information provided by local real estate professionals indicates that much of this growth is due to new housing starts. Columbia County has instituted regulatory measures to concentrate development in select areas such as Evans and Martinez. The disparity in population trends between the established neighborhoods and outlying areas can be largely attributed to the availability of developable land. Areas located around and including Laney - Walker and Bethlehem generally are built out. As a result, very little large -scale development has occurred in this area. This has created opportunities for growth to occur in nearby study areas such as Evans/Martinez, North Augusta/Belvedere and South County. The aging housing stock in areas such as Laney- Walker and Bethlehem is not competitive with the modern amenity -laden units in these new subdivisions. Furthermore, the lack of investment and upkeep in neighborhoods like Laney - Walker and Bethlehem has led to concentrations of blight, hurting the potential of these areas. Current population trends in almost every study area are projected to continue over the next five years, albeit at slower rates. Laney- Walker and Bethlehem are both projected to lose more than 10% of their respective current populations, equating to an annual percentage loss of nearly 1%. However, recently completed public capital projects along Laney -Walker Boulevard, the development of the new judicial center along Walton Way, and the investments made by various local Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) have improved the potential for attracting new residents and spurring new housing projects in the Primary Study Region. One such project, The Enclave on James Brown, is currently underway and has its first few homes complete.

Meanwhile, other study areas are expected to experience slowing growth rates. Evans/Martinez is projected to experience a net increase of 7,200 individuals between 2008 and 2013. This year- over -year annual projected growth rate (2.6 %) is greater than any previous rate in the area dating back to 1990. Through interviews conducted with local employers, the Consultant ascertained that a sizable portion of Augusta's workforce currently resides in areas west of downtown including Columbia County. It is likely that Augusta's workforce will continue to locate to Columbia County as housing development continues to take advantage of the newer housing and relatively short commute.

The deadline for public comment was September 27, 2012. However, we did not receive any formal public comments. A copy of the ad can be found in Attachment X. Institutional Structure Institutional Structure and Coordination of Efforts The institutional structure is in place to implement the Action Plan. As previously mentioned, the AHCD Department has many years of experience in planning and implementing CDBG and related program activities. AHCDD will collaborate with a number of well - established agencies and organizations that will serve as sub - recipients, and will share in the responsibility for the implementing projects and delivering services. AHCDD will conduct monitoring reviews of all sub - recipients on a regular basis to assure that projects are carried out in accordance with the Action Plan and their individual contracts. Monitoring will also be done to assure that projects meet all regulatory requirements and adhere to the necessary financial management techniques. Monitoring Monitoring Standards and Procedures The City currently uses various administrative mechanisms to track and monitor the progress of HUD- funded projects that are under its control and jurisdiction. The goal is to ensure that Consolidated Plan related programs and activities are carried out in a timely manner in accordance with federal regulations and other statutory or regulatory requirements. The primary monitoring goals of the City is to provide technical assistance, identify deficiencies and promote corrections in order to improve, reinforce or augment the community's Consolidated Plan performance. The City monitors all CDBG, ESG, HOME and HOPWA sub - recipient activities as required by HUD in accordance with the agreement between the agency and the City. Sub - recipients are required to Action Plan 30 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development submit monthly and/or quarterly and annual program and financial reports to facilitate the annual monitoring process. Annual monitoring includes ensuring that the sub - recipients, including Community Housing Development Organizations, comply with the terms of their agreements, including income and client eligibility, rents, reporting requirements, timeliness, sales prices, values, property standards, affirmative marketing, periods of affordability, relocation and fair housing. For established agencies, the City may choose to conduct a desk monitoring for agencies providing public services. Other efforts include ongoing communication with sub - recipients through the provision of on -site technical assistance. Frequent telephone contacts, written communications, analysis of reports and annual audits, administrative and environmental guidance by City staff provide a basis for review and monitoring. Lead -based Paint Lead -Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Strategy The Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 focuses on the reduction of hazards, risk assessment, and prevention to reduce the effects of lead -based paint hazards on children. Elevated blood lead levels in children can cause damage to the brain and nervous system, effect intelligence, slow growth, cause learning disabilities and even lead to death. A major cause of lead poisoning is from lead based paint in residential buildings. Based on the City's review of the housing stock, approximately 50% of the housing units may contain lead -based paint. The City's actions to evaluate and reduce Lead -Based Paint hazards is outlined below and incorporated into the following programs; single - family rehabilitation program, first -time home buyer program and Community Housing Development Organization housing projects. To meet the requirements of the Act which took effect on September 15, 2000, the City has incorporated lead -based paint reduction policies into these housing programs to address the following areas of concern: • Hazards "Hazard" means any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead - contaminated dust, soil, or paint that is deteriorated or present in accessible or friction surfaces. Contaminated dust is considered the most common pathway of childhood exposure to lead. Lead -based paint hazards to not include intact lead -based paint which is not on a chewable, impact or friction surface. • Risk Assessment and Interim Controls Risk assessment requires on -site analysis to determine existence, nature, severity, and location of lead hazards. Interim controls are put into place and focus on measures that reduce human exposure to contaminated dust associated with the presence of lead -based paint. • Clearance Testing Clearance involves testing settled dust for lead contamination after hazard control work. It ensures that fine particles of lead in dust have been cleaned up. Action Plan 31 Version 2.0 Category Required Activities Notification All of the following apply: • Pamphlet • Disclosure • Notice of Lead Hazard Presumption/Evaluation • Notice of Lead Hazard Reduction Lead Hazard Evaluation One or more of the following may apply: • Visual Assessment • Paint Testing • Risk Assessment (or lead hazard screen) Lead Hazard Reduction One or more of the following may apply: • Paint Stabilization • Interim Controls • Abatement The following always apply: • Safe work Practices • Clearance Ongoing Maintenance This requirement may apply: • Inspect and maintain lead hazard reduction work City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Prevention/Treatment Reduction of hazards before a health problem occurs is critical. The age of housing stock is an acceptable basis for estimate in the location of dwellings with lead -based paint. Title X does not rely on children with elevated blood - levels (EBL) as a means of locating dwellings in need of abatement. These concerns are all incorporated in the following table which divides the lead -based paint regulatory requirements into four major categories: notification, lead- hazard evaluation, lead hazard reduction and ongoing maintenance. • Notification The major objective is to increase the overall level of awareness of lead - based paint laws and regulations so that all community residents may be aware of their rights and responsibilities. In the event the presence of lead -based paint is detected in a housing unit, notifications will be carried out by the following mandated notification requirements established by HUD: Pamphlet — Occupants, owners and purchasers must all receive Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet. Disclosure — Ensure that property owners have provided purchasers and lessees with available information or knowledge regarding the presence of lead -based paint and lead -based paint hazards prior to selling or leasing a residence. Even if federal funds are withdrawn from a transaction, the purchasers are required to receive a disclosure of any known lead -based paint findings. Notice of Lead Hazard Presumption /Evaluation and Lead Hazard Reduction — Occupants, owners and purchasers must be notified of the results of the presumption of lead -based paint or lead hazards or of any lead hazard evaluation or reduction work. Action Plan 32 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Lead Hazard Evaluation and Reduction The Lead Based Paint regulations affect all of the City's housing programs that use HUD funding. One of the City's housing inspectors is trained and certified as a Lead Paint Risk Assessor. An EPA laboratory is used for testing of samples taken during inspections. In addressing lead hazard evaluation, the city will conduct a visual assessment, paint testing, or risk assessment, depending on the activity to be undertaken. In some instances there may be supporting evidence for the City to forego testing the housing unit and want to presume the presence of lead - based paint and/or lead hazards. Lead hazard reduction activities will include paint stabilization, interim controls, standard treatments, or abatement depending on the requirements for the activity type. City will ensure that all lead hazard reduction or rehabilitation work that disturbs painted surfaces known or assumed to contain lead -based paint will be completed using safe work practices as outlined in the regulations. Clearance testing will then be performed by the Lead Paint Risk Assessor to ensure that there is no evidence of lead -based paint hazards when all work is complete. The table below summarizes the level of lead -based paint hazard evaluation and reduction required by the activity type and level of federal assistance provided. The City will utilize this table in order to conform to the lead regulations when carrying out its housing program activities that utilize federal funds. • Ongoing Maintenance In activities where the assistance provided requires an ongoing relationship with a property, generally HOME rental programs, the owners must perform ongoing maintenance to ensure that lead hazard reduction measures are maintained. Safe work practices will be used when all subsequent maintenance or renovation work is performed where lead -based paint may be present. Clearance testing will also be completed when any repairs, interim controls, or abatement work is completed as part of ongoing maintenance. The City will also keep maintenance records on each property that will include information on inspections, repairs and Action Plan 33 Version 2.0 $5,000 $5,000 - $25,000 >$25,000 Approach to Lead Hazard Evaluation & Reduction Do no harm Identify and control lead hazards Identify & abate lead hazards Notifications All projects All projects All projects Lead Hazard Evaluation - Paint testing of surfaces to be disturbed by rehab - Paint testing of surfaces to be disturbed by rehab - Risk assessment - Paint testing of surfaces to be disturbed by rehab - Risk assessment Lead Hazard Reduction - Repair surfaces disturbed during rehabilitation - Clearance of work site - Interim controls - Safe work practices - Clearance of unit - Abatement - Safe work practices - Clearance of unit Ongoing Maintenance For HOME rental properties only For HOME rental properties only For HOME rental properties only Options - Presume LBP - Use safe work practices on all surfaces - Presume LBP and/or hazards - Use standard treatments - Presume LBP and/or hazards - Abate all applicable surfaces City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Lead Hazard Evaluation and Reduction The Lead Based Paint regulations affect all of the City's housing programs that use HUD funding.

These records will be kept for a minimum of five years. • LBP Rehabilitation Implementation Compliance with LBP guidelines will involve specific steps in the rehabilitation process. An example of the types of the steps involved in lead hazard evaluation and reduction/abatement are listed below: Property Inspection and Rehabilitation Planning 1. Determine level of hazard evaluation and reduction required. 2. Risk assessor schedules lead evaluation. 3. Risk assessor performs paint testing and/or risk assessment. 4. Provide notice of evaluation. 5. Lead work specification work written by Senior Inspector. 6. Determine relocation needs. Contractor Selection 1. Check qualifications of lead contractors. 2. Discuss work schedule with contractors /owners. 3. Discuss safe work practices with contractor /owner. Supervising Rehabilitation 1. Ensure interim controls and abatement are supervised by a certified Abatement Supervisor. 2. Verify quality of lead hazard reduction work. 3. Ensure that safe work practices are used by trained works. 4. Ensure work site preparation and worker protection. Final Inspection and Clearance 1. Check that work is complete and clean up is adequate. 2. Risk Assessor issues clearance report. 3. Re -clean and repeat clearance when necessary. 4. Provide lead hazard reduction notice. 5.

HOUSING General Characteristics of Housing Market The housing market in Augusta - Richmond County reflects historic development patterns in the community. Older single - family and duplex units are concentrated in the neighborhoods of the former city of Augusta. Conventional subdivisions, with units in a variety of price ranges, are concentrated in suburban areas. Apartment complexes, many of which have been developed in the last 30 -40 years, are clustered in west Augusta and south Augusta. The south Augusta area is presently the fastest growing residential market in the county. Among the factors making south Augusta desirable are lower land and building costs, presence of developers willing to invest in the area, construction of new public schools, a relatively low level of traffic congestion, a higher perception of public safety, and proximity to Fort Gordon. Between 2000 and 2010, total housing units in Richmond County increased 2.5% to 84,427 units. This is lower than the 6.5% increase in units between 1990 and 2000 (see table below). Although the Homeownership Rate for Augusta - Richmond County is 56.5% is still greatly below the rate for the State of Georgia at 67.2 %. The chart below illustrates a comparison of the county to the state overall. 35 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Geographically, total housing units increased the most in the southern and western parts of Richmond County during the decade. Notably, five of the six census tracts with the highest percentage increase in housing units are located in south Richmond County. Other tracts in the south and west also registered smaller housing unit gains. This continues a trend evident for several decades. The detached single - family, site -built home continues to be the dominant type of housing unit in the market, representing 62% of the 86,097 total units in Richmond County in 2010. This is up slightly from a 61.5% share in 2000. In the last ten years the number of detached and attached, single - family units increased. This could be due to continued development of new housing in the Richmond County area or to occupancy increases of existing housing stock. The disparity can't be accounted for with a single explanation as the homeownership rate does not support the increase Apartments (structures with 3 or more units) comprise almost 26% of the housing stock. Mobile or manufactured homes account for 9.2% of the housing units, about the same percentage as in 1990. The following table lists the number of units by type of structure for 1990 and 2000. Currently 86.2% of the occupied housing units are owner - occupied. This is a considerable increase from the 58% rate in 2000. The vast increase in owner occupancy can be contributed to the drop in interest rates and the introduction of a tremendous number of "creative financing" options during the housing boom of the early mark of the decade. These factors greatly increased opportunities housing throughout the country throu7gh relaxed credit requirements, decreased down payments, and greater incentives to purchase including tax credits.

Below is a comparison of occupancy rates over the ten year expanse. Action Plan The census tracts with the highest percentages of homeowners are those tracts with the highest median incomes, mostly in the central to southern areas of the county. The inner city, low - income census tracts have the lowest percentages of homeowners. The age of Augusta and Richmond County's housing stock reflects the comparatively rapid growth that took place in the three decades or so after World War II, and the slower expansion of the last two decades. The following table indicates that over half (51.6 %) of the housing units were constructed between 1950 and 1979. Another 19% of the units were constructed between 1980 and 1989, but only about 10.4% have been constructed in the last ten years. Therefore despite in the spike in homeownership there still has not been a major increase in construction. Generally speaking, the majority of the units that are fifty years or older are concentrated in inner -city neighborhoods located in the northeast part of the city. The chart below compares existing housing stock today to the last Census count. 37 Version 2.0 Value of Owner Occupied Housing Units, 2010 Augusta - Richmond County and the Augusta MSA Augusta- Richmond County State of Georgia Value Range Number Percent Number Percent Less than $50,000 5,287 12.5 202,975 8.7 $50,000 to $99,999 16,111 38.1 355,917 15.3 $100,000 to $149,999 10,542 24.9 482,984 20.7 $150,000 to $199,999 5,020 11.9 452,881 19.4 $200,000 to $299,999 2,742 6.5 414,384 17.8 $300,000 to $499,999 1,607 3.8 280,946 12.0 $500,000 to $999,999 676 1.6 114,847 4.9 $1,000,000 or over 307 0.7 26,844 1.2 Total Owner Occu I ied Units 42,292 100.0% 2,331,778 100.0% Median $99,300 Median $161,400 Source: http: / /factfinder2.census.gov/faces /tableservices /isf /pages /aroductview xhtml ?pid =ACS 10 5YR DPO4 -4, .4 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 1940 to 1949 1939 or earlier 5,300 6,253 82,312 6.4 %1 1940 to 1949 J 4,846 7.6 %1 1939 or earlier I 6,771 100.0% 86,097 5.6 7.9 100.0% Source: http: / /factfmder2. census. gov / faces / tableservices /jsf/pages/productview xhtml ?pid =ACS 10 5YR DPO4# The cost of housing in Augusta, both owner and renter, has increased over the last decade. Even with this increase, the cost of housing remains lower than the state of Georgia by comparison and contributes to the area's lower than average cost of living index as noted in the chart below. The median value of an owner- occupied housing unit in Augusta Richmond County was $99,300 in the year 2010, up from $76,800 (Richmond County) in 2000. Over 50% of the owner units in the city are valued at less than $100,000. By comparison, only 23.1% of all owner occupied units in the state are worth $100,000 or less. The median cost of renting has increased from an average of $413 per month in 2000 to $686 in 2010. By comparison the gross median rent for the State of Georgia is $808. Although the majority of the Augusta Richmond County population of occupant renters pays an amount monthly equivalent to the median range ($500 to $749), it is also a majority of this population paying greater than 35% of their gross income for rent (41.7 %). An additional eight percent pay just below this mark, utilizing between 30% and 34% of their gross for rental housing. This statistical data speaks to the increased need for an increase in the quantity of affordable rental housing throughout the county, made available to those of lower and moderate incomes. Current Housing Situation The current housing market in Augusta and the surrounding areas reflects the depreciation in home prices and the decrease in home sales that is plaguing the United States.

City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Augusta area reflect the continued expansion of suburban parts of the region. The Greater Augusta Association of Realtors tracks real estate sales in the Augusta MSA counties, plus another eight counties in the region. According to the Augusta MLS Data, House sales have continued to decline since January of 2004. In 2004, there were about 167 closings per month compared with 118 per month in 2009. The high point of the past few years was in 2005 with about 180 closings per month. The average sales price for residential home in 2004 was $121,981 with a peak of 146,875 in 2005 and a decline to 138,893 in 2009. Very few sales have occurred in the downtown area over the last three years. According to MLS data, 30 residential properties have sold in the Laney - Walker area while only six have sold in the Bethlehem area. Comparably, the Riverfront area has seen 441 sales, the Southern Loop of 1,000 sales and North Tobacco Road has seen 1,739 sales. Each of these areas has seen a decline in sales of around 20% between 2007 and 2008. One of the challenges for Richmond County home sales, is the popularity of purchasing a less expensive home in Columbia County. Columbia County lead the way in both the number of single family units sold, and the average sales price was the highest in the region. Augusta - Richmond County had the next highest number of sales, but the average sales price was the lowest in the region. The following table, a previous report by Dale Henson, summarizes the sales activity for single family and townhouse / condominium units in the Augusta region between 2003 -2004. Utilization of the Augusta, Georgia Land Bank Authority Action Plan 39 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Contained within the recent housing market studies is information which suggests that a residential market for the development of new affordable single family housing and new rental units exists and that the trend for more affordable single family homes and rental homes will continue to increase. Even though the purchase power for a single family home may be decreasing, the need for housing continues to increase. The "City's" participation as a major player is warranted and still required. Interest in the development of new single family homes is strong, especially in South Augusta and the communities in which the CHDOs operate. Through acquisition and/or disposition procedures, the "Land Bank Authority" is expected to play a major role towards the development of current and future inventoried properties. Once these properties have been acquired through the "Land Bank Authority ", procedures can be implemented to make these and other properties attractive for future development projects. Through these and other efforts, projects are currently being developed to expand this interest throughout the municipality, especially the inner city communities. There is also strong interest in the rehabilitation of existing homes for the purposes of supplying affordable rental housing units to needy individuals and families. Partnerships between landlords and the local Housing Authority are increasing and occurring daily. Inquiries and application requests for funding through the department's "Rental Rehab" program have markedly increased from previous years. Finally, through revisions of the department's existing "Homeownership — Rehab Program" the policies and procedures governing the program have become favorable to individuals and families requiring the assistance. Through this exercise there is an expected increase in the number of applicants and the number of homes which will be served. The declining market has been an opportunity for the city to purchase vacant and underutilized property in the downtown area. By acquiring these properties and storing them in the Land Bank, the property can be used in the future for new developments, both commercial and mixed income. Needs of Public Housing Public and Assisted Housing Facilities The Housing Authority of Augusta and Richmond County is the designated Local Public Housing Agency (PHA). Established in 1937, The Housing Authority is governed by a five - member Board of Commissioners appointed by the local government. An Executive Director and staff of employees oversee the day -to -day operations of the Housing Authority and its properties. The Housing Authority currently operates and maintains thirteen (13) public housing developments in Augusta - Richmond County. Together, these properties house 4,967 people in 2,128 living units. In addition, the PHA administers another 3,674 units under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program located on scattered sites throughout the city. The 3,674 units consists of 3,579 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and 95 HUD -VASH Vouchers with a total resident count of 11,238 family members. The chart below profiles the 13 public housing communities in Augusta, showing occupancy, average monthly rent, the year built, and year most recently modernized. Augusta Housing Authority residents have had a voice in management of AHA properties for a number of years. The Resident Advisory Board meets monthly and consists of approximately 60 residents. The board provides feedback to AHA management on all quality of life issues (security, maintenance and repairs, etc.), is involved in preparing grant applications, and makes recommendations regarding the AHA annual and five -year plans.

The WES report updated a similar study completed by TONYA in 2003. The report indicated that both individual circumstances and government policies can serve as barriers to affordable housing. Individuals and families often lack the information, income, and access to financing that make it possible for them to live in affordable, standard housing. Some have to pay excessive amounts of their income for shelter and related costs. The types of government actions that can affect the supply of affordable housing include real estate taxes, land use controls, building codes, and code enforcement. A copy of this report is available at the Augusta Housing and Community Development Department. By Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards, there are three scenarios where a household has a housing problem: • If a household pays more than 30 percent of its gross monthly income for housing, it is considered "cost burdened." HUD considers households that pay more than 50 percent of their income on housing costs to be severely cost burdened. • If a household occupies a unit that lacks a complete kitchen or bathroom, the unit has a physical defect. ■ If a household contains more members than the unit has rooms, the unit is overcrowded. Based on HUD's definition, and according to 2000 Census data, 40.7 percent of Augusta renters (11,357) are cost burdened and 19.4 percent (5,397) are severely cost burdened. Not as many homeowners with a mortgage experience this housing problem; 28 percent (7,129) are cost burdened and 11.7 percent (2,982) are severely cost burdened. According to the Census 734 housing units, 0.9 percent of all units, lack complete kitchen facilities. Similarly, 1 percent of all households — totaling 801 households —lack complete plumbing facilities. As of 2000, 1,035 owners (or 2.5 percent of all owners) in Augusta were overcrowded. A greater number and percentage of renters were overcrowded: 2,761 or 9 percent of all renters. Provisions in a local zoning ordinance that control such factors as the density of development, the number of unrelated people residing in a living unit, and the location of manufactured homes can increase the cost of housing and concentrate affordable housing units in certain parts of the community. Code enforcement activities can lead to the removal of units that might be suitable for rehabilitation and reuse as affordable housing. Subdivision regulations require new development to occur on lots that meet minimum size requirements, but existing lots may be built on without regard to their size. The WES report also used 2000 Census data and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data for the years 2001 through 2006 to develop a profile of mortgage lending activity in Augusta. 45 Version 2.0 Year Black Hispanic (Race) White Total Hispanic (Ethnicity) 2001 25.4% 16.7% 18.3% 25.5% 0 2002 22.2% 17.6% 15.6% 20.2% 0 2003 18.9% 21.7% 12.7% 16.9% 0 2004 23.8% 0 14.8% 20.9% 17.2% 2005 21.8% 0 13.3% 19.0% 24.7% 2006 20.2% 0 11.4% 17.1% 16.0% TOTAL 22.% 18.8% 14.2% 19.9% 19.2% City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development During this time, nearly 98,000 loan applications were process for home purchases, home improvements, refinancing mortgages, and multifamily properties. Just over 33,000 of these loan applications were specifically for home purchases. In 2001, 4,469 loans transactions were made with an increase to 6,689 by the year 2006. During this period, 12,536 loans were originated (loans were made) and 3,106 were denied. Loan denial rates were calculated by race and ethnicity of the loan applicants. In general, minority races tended to have higher denial rates than whites over the entire size year period. In particular, blacks experienced a denial rate of 22% during the six year period, with whites just 14.2 percent. Table E -1 Denial Rate for Owner Occupied Home Purchase Loan Application by Selected Races Augusta - Richmond County: HMDA Data 2001- 2006 As you can infer from this chart, the highest number of Loan Denials are in the Black and Hispanic races. The HMDA data is not quite conclusive in why the results are so high, because many of the financial institutions were not required to give a detailed reason for the denial. The most common issue with the applicant was cited as "credit issue ". Consumers who have problematic credit histories could benefit from understanding their credit report and creating and managing a budget. This would provide an avenue for many to conquer the road to home ownership. Conclusions from Study - Potential Impediments It was determined from this study that impediments to fair housing still exist in Augusta - Richmond County. One of the major areas of concern is in the mortgage denial rate for ethnic minorities. According to the data presented in Table E -1, Blacks and Hispanics face a significantly higher rate of mortgage denial. The main reason for this high denial rate is the lack of quality credit. In addition, there was an increase in predatory lending between 2002 and 2005 that targeted this population and resulted in a high foreclosure rate during the period of 2008 through 2009. One of the primary ways of decreasing predatory lending and improving credit is to offer Homeownership Counseling and Education. This education not only provides credit counseling but educates on the entire process from mortgage lending through home maintenance. Suggested Actions - Home Ownership Counseling and Education Action Plan 46 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development The study concluded that one of the best ways to increase loan approval rates and to decrease the number of foreclosures is to provide community outreach on a variety of related topics. The Housing Department felt that this community outreach was a vital need in the community and has worked to increase awareness of available homebuyer education services through its existing non -profit organizations. The purpose of these classes is to provide monthly education where families and individuals can gain the experience needed to purchase a home. The staff provides credit counseling, homebuyer education and mortgage lending education on the different products that are available. In addition, some of these also offer foreclosure prevention counseling in order to keep families in their homes. Concerns and Issues Expressed by Survey Participants over the past five years Respondents to this and past surveys also had a number of suggestions about enhancing the local housing and community development environment, delivery system, and commitment to housing production throughout the community. This includes needs, barrier or constraints to addressing the needs, and suggested actions that Augusta - Richmond County can consider in eliminating the constraints and barriers to housing. The general comments are segmented into three main areas: additional housing needs, barriers and constraints to resolving housing needs, and methods that Augusta - Richmond County can adopt to overcome their housing challenges. Other Housing Needs • Need for additional homeownership training • Building codes need additional enforcement • Elimination of vacant substandard dwellings • Demolition of run -down residential properties • Enforce housing standards and codes • Enhance financial instruments for low - interest loans or grants Barriers or Constraints to Resolving These Needs • Landlords do not adequately maintain their property • Availability of staff to enforce codes • Shortage of funds to purchase and rehab • Lack of political will or leadership • Property that is inherited and heir do not live in the area Ways Augusta - Richmond County Can Work Toward Resolving These Needs • Enhance outreach and education about affordable housing tools and programs • Demolish the dilapidated housing units, vacant and abandoned units • Enforce existing building codes or property standards • Establish stronger partnerships with banks, developers, and business • Build more affordable rental and homeownership housing Consolidated Results of Housing and Homeless Survey Action Plan 47 Version 2.0 NEED HIGH PRIORITY MEDIUM PRIORITY HOUSING Senior housing (167) Residential Rehabilitation (137) Rental housing (158) Rental Assistance (135) Disabled housing (158) Homeownership (135) Affordable for Sale Housing (149) ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Work Force Training (171) Micro - Enterprise Support (99) Business Recruitment (155) ED Assistance to For - Profits (95) Business Retention Activities (135) Create a business park (89) COMMUNITY FACILITIES Senior Center (178) Childcare Centers (132) Healthcare facility (164) Historic Preservation (97) Youth facility (160) Parks, Recreation (94) INFRASTRUCTURE Sidewalks (163) Water /Sewer (158) Street/alley Improvements (163) Street Lighting (153) Drainage (161) SPECIAL NEEDS Neglected & Abused Children centers (180) Substance Abuse (150) Homeless Shelters /Services (179) Disabled Centers (148) Domestic Violence facilities (155) Accessibility Improvements (140) PUBLIC SERVICES Mass Transit Services (190) Disabled Services (148) Homeless (179) Tenant/Landlord counseling (123) Crime Awareness (166) Fair Housing Education (123) Legal Services (143) OTHER Clearance/Demolition (175) City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Action Plan RESULTS OF HOUSING & HOMELESS SURVEY FOR 2010 - 2014 48 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Actions taken to overcome effects of impediments Action Plan 49 Version 2.0 Recommendation of Actions to Take Actions Taken in Year 2012 to Overcome Impediments Proposed Actions for 2013 to Overcome Impediments 1. Assist in improving fair housing delivery systems by: • Creating a fair housing entity to do outreach and education; • Arrange for fair housing training from a fair housing entity; and • Design a simple set of instructions for a uniform fair housing referral system. Staff contacted Atlanta Fair Housing Division for directions into how to move forward with providing fair housing training. Requested assistance from HUD - Atlanta in making contact with Atlanta Fair Housing Division for assistance in moving forward with fair housing training and locating a entity to provide directions. Contacted legal aid to discuss coordination and cooperation to provide a referral system. Seeking assistance from Fair Housing Agency to provide training and education services related to Fair Housing for staff and the citizens of Augusta - Richmond County. 2. Assist in improving public awareness of fair housing by: • Acquiring and distributing additional fair housing flyers and pamphlets, including material about landlord tenant law, to social service agencies, residential rental property agencies, faith- based organizations and other advocate and service agencies; • Conduct outreach and education, especially to minority populations; • Consider coordinating and consulting with an existing Georgia fair housing entity to find ways to best present prospective fair housing sessions designed for the public and solicit stakeholders and others to join in raising public awareness; and • Create Web pages that educate local residents about fair housing. Distributed fair housing flyers to the local housing authority and rental complexes. Translated flyers into Spanish Language and distributed to rental complexes. AHCDD is actively seeking a Fair Housing entity to assist with providing directions in how to implement a fair housing program and how to get the local stakeholders involved. Staff is working with IT Department regarding placing a link on AHCDDs Home page to direct individuals to Fair Housing Information and Entities. Continue to utilize radio and various advertisement sources to connect with the public and make the aware of Fair Housing Issues and Laws. 3. Consider enhancing first -time homebuyer training programs that are within the domain of the AHCDD; • Promote outreach and education related to credit for AHCDD has discussed with the local housing counseling agencies the need to educate potential homebuyers on the AHCDD will continue to utilize local housing counseling agencies to educate potential homebuyers on credit and mortgage matters involving credit. City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Actions taken to overcome effects of impediments Action Plan 49 Version 2.0 Action Plan City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 50 Version 2.0 prospective homebuyers. Include enhanced financial literacy for senior high school students. • Address establishment and wise use of good credit, including a discussion that educates prospective credit consumers about predatory lending practice • Identify the attributes of predatory loans • Create list of lenders that have targeted Augusta, Georgia citizens with predatory mortgages importance of maintaining good credit and predatory lending practice. It has been implemented during the monthly housing counseling classes. AHCDD has been unsuccessful in making contact with the Richmond County School System to provide information and to get involved with activities to reach students in high school and educate them on maintaining good credit. Capital City Bank currently has a pilot program with the school system and AHCDD has made contact with Capital City Bank to provide assistance. Additionally, with new research now available regarding predatory lending terms and products, mortgage companies that have engaged in those practices will be more easily identified. AHCDD will be able to detail the types of products based on credit requirements, down payments, interest rates and terms of financing to assist potential homebuyers from accepting these products. 4. Incorporate more formalize elements of fair housing planning into the Consolidated Plan • Convene a work group across departmental and governmental entities, at staff level, to meet regularly, such as quarterly, throughout the area to discuss differences between fair housing, the provision of affordable housing and landlord/tenant law. Invite members of local lending and real estate community to participate and enhance ability to do outreach and education. • Create a chapter of the Consolidated Plan or a completely separate plan that stipulates what the AHCDD plans to accomplish in the fair housing area. No actions taken during this reporting period. AHCDD attempted to get a representative from Atlanta Fair Housing to assist in meetings at the Augusta Board of Realtors and with the local nonprofits (CHDOs). AHCDD is seeking a Fair Housing Entity that would assist in facilitating work groups and meetings. With the implementation of funding a new Impediments Assessment AHCDD will be more prepared to identify specific causes of housing bias. This information will be crucial in directing Fair Housing practices to ensure that future tenants and buyers are aware of discriminatory practices through its outreach. Action Plan City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 50 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development HOMELESS Specific Homeless Prevention Elements Homeless and Special Needs Facilities The Continuum of Care (CoC) is a community -based planning process designed to identify the critical needs of the homeless and develop a plan of action to assist the homeless. The City' HCDD serves as the lead organization for coordinating homeless issues within the CoC process. Information is gathered through surveys of the homeless, community organizations and agencies, and homeless service providers. The information is shared with the community at large, with interested agencies and organizations and with members of the CoC. The Augusta continuum was the first in Georgia to implement a community -wide Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Coordinating entities can now produce an unduplicated count of our community's homeless population, with a total of 5,376 homeless men, women and children served in 2009. Of this total, 2,631 were children, an indication of our growing subpopulation of homeless women with children. At present, a total of 27 agencies and AHCD Department utilize this system. It is planned to offer this service to additional homeless service provider agencies, enhancing our continuum's ability to coordinate case management and client services.

A number of agencies affiliated with the Augusta CoC provide emergency assistance, financial assistance and free legal assistance to individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless. CoC agencies offer a broad range of outreach services to the homeless on a daily basis, both in -house and on the street. Special events, such as the Annual Homeless Stand Down and Homeless Resource Fair are held to provide the homeless with information and assistance. The range of supportive services provided by the Augusta Continuum includes, but is not limited to, case management, HIV /AIDS assistance, legal services, employment assistance, transportation, mental health services, childcare, primary healthcare, drug/alcohol treatment, life skills training, food pantries, furniture bank assistance, clothing assistance, birth certificate and photo ID program, housing counseling and placement services. More detailed information about each of the components of the Augusta CoC is contained in Augusta's Homeless Competition Consolidated grant application submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in November of 2009. Housing Needs Census data, field surveys, and input from the public and interest groups reveal a number of housing problems and needs. Lack of routine maintenance and repair work is evidence of the need for limited and moderate rehabilitation. There is a particularly high concentration of older, substandard housing units within neighborhoods in the former city of Augusta. Smaller pockets of deteriorating units are located in almost all of the neighborhoods. Still other housing units are abandoned, dilapidated, and used for criminal activities. These units need to be dealt with either through code enforcement or total reconstruction. Where dilapidated units have been removed, the resulting vacant lots have become blighting influences on neighborhoods. The vacant lots represent opportunities for construction of new housing and added future revenue to the city. Standard rental and owner units are available throughout the community, but cannot be accessed by those in need of better housing because they lack the necessary income, financing, or credit history. The high cost of housing has made it necessary for an increasing number of households to turn to lower priced rental units as the housing of choice. Yet other factors exist as well in the state of the current housing market, which although is on an upswing, still has not completely rebound from the market crash. Some owners and renters are paying excessive amounts of their income for shelter, and others cannot afford the down payment or other costs related to purchasing a home. These conditions and trends are all indicators of the need for the construction of more affordable housing, and the provision of more rental subsidies and down payment assistance.

According to the latest Gaps Analysis Chart (see below), there is a need for an additional 370 beds for individuals and another 616 beds for families with children. The need for permanent supportive housing is greatest, but there is also an unmet need for more beds in emergency shelters and transitional housing. Service providers need additional resources to staff and operate their programs, expand their services, and assist the homeless and near homeless with immediate problems (food, transportation, medical assistance, etc.). 57 Version 2.0 ! A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Chronic Homelessness — Our goals for achieving our mission to end chronic homelessness in Augusta - Richmond County are to: I. Develop Effective Leadership &Engage Community • Consistent, effective leadership in both the public and private sectors has the ability to implement policy that makes active participation in ending homelessness enticing to business and the community and establish a reliable source of funding for successful programs. A collaboration of representatives from non - profits and government agencies will work to recruit and maintain an equal composition of service providers, local government representation, private business and concerned individuals from the community in order to effectively execute a strategy for ending chronic homelessness. II. Low -Cost Permanent Housing Development & Maintenance • No component is more important for both the chronically homeless and episodically homeless than safe, secure housing. In its "Ending Chronic Homelessness Study," SAMHSA states that the importance of a community having a variety of safe, affordable housing options cannot be overstated. Without housing services, treatment cannot be effective. Currently, Walton Options operates some housing for persons with disabilities however, for the chronically homeless person, hosing options are almost non - existent. Many communities operate SRO or Single Room Occupancy facilities that consist of small bedrooms with a kitchen, laundry room and common areas. Usually these facilities are tied to services and plans are developed that meet the need of each client. In addition, Shelter plus Care programs are an option. This is the voucher system where a potion of the rent is paid by the participant with the rest being subsidized. This mode of housing is also rich with services. Augusta currently has neither of these housing options available for the chronic homeless. However, we will begin to seek ways to create this type of housing in Augusta because homeless people all need housing which provides a base of stability and security so they can address and overcome the short-term or chronic issues that led to the homelessness. III. Integrate Housing with Treatment and Services Action Plan 58 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Currently Augusta lacks licensed residential treatment facilities, some service providers have only programs entailing residential/rehabilitation. Yet because of the magnitude of the problem most of these programs have waiting list. Currently, a number of barriers exist to effectively treating this population to include funding, lack of available services, the size and complexity of the problem, and differing philosophies. Housing in conjunction with a system of comprehensive care is the key to overcoming this problem and therefore we will begin to create a seamless system of care, reduce barriers, and coordinate and to improve our local services to this population. W. Coordinate Education and Employment Options • A complete continuum of care of supportive services is required in order to address the needs of both the chronic and transitional/episodic homeless populations. These include, but are not limited to: housing, medical and dental treatment, food, clothing, substance abuse treatment and relapse prevention. In light of the fact that approximately 65% of this population also suffers from a co- occurring mental illness, simultaneous treatment for the mental illness must be provided. Education and vocational training needs must be assessed and addressed to enhance marketable skills for gainful employment. Other supportive services include childcare, trauma issues (particularly among women) and transportation needs. The chronic homeless person faces many challenges to obtaining and maintaining employment. However, the development of a marketable skill can mean the difference between long term and short term homelessness. As noted, the chronic homeless person is I need of more than traditional job training programs offer. Successful job training programs must include comprehensive assessment, on -going case management, job placement services and constant follow -up. We will work to establish a central system of job skills training which incorporates all of the above. V. Develop a Marketing and Funding Plan • The public perception of an issue will direct the community's response to any proposed solution to the prevention of and solution to chronic homelessness in Augusta - Richmond County. The current perception of the causes of chronic homelessness is a tremendous barrier to building public support as causes such as drug and alcohol dependency, mental illness and failed prisoner re -entry are viewed as self-inflicted or too uncomfortable to be embraced by the general community. A marketing campaign consisting of education on the causes and treatment of homelessness accompanied by consistent reports of successes and progress are critical to the community's ability to embrace our efforts. Action Plan 59 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development • Maximizing funding stability is critical to the implementation of this plan as it is reliant on every aspect of the service community working together to end chronic homelessness. We will work to devise a system of funding distribution that emphasizes partnership between service agencies in order to maximize the effect of every dollar available for distribution. Additionally, to increase potential funding provided at the federal and state levels for the Augusta - Richmond County area to be equivalent with like sized communities, we believe that a unified effort and a track record of progress would strengthen a lobbying effort for additional funds to be directed toward our community. VI. Prevent Homelessness from Occurring • The most effective strategy for effecting homelessness is prevention. Prevention should be the first line of defense. According to the U. S. department of Health and Human Services, homelessness is associated with extreme poverty, poor jobs skills, lack of education, mental health issues and chemical dependency. Given the scope and magnitude of these problems, we must create a community -wide service delivery system. Through financial assistance, we will be able to provide immediate stability, and will then be able to the complexity of needs of those at risk. Through supportive services, education, and skills development, the risk factors that lead to homelessness can be ameliorated. Homelessness Prevention Several structural factors contribute to homelessness including: 1. Poverty —due to the decrease in livable wage jobs and the decline in the real value of minimum wage. 2. Lack of Affordable Housing —U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that there are five million households in the U. S. with incomes below 50% of the local median who pay more than half of their income for rent or live in severely substandard housing. Also, there has been a decline in the number of housing units affordable to extremely low income households since 1991 and federal assistance has not been able to bridge the gap. 3. Disability— People with disabilities who are unable to work and must rely on entitlements can find it virtually impossible to find affordable housing. 4. Cutbacks —in health, mental health and alcohol and drug treatment services. 5. Lack of key services — affordable child care and transportation. Action Plan 60 Version 2.0 •A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Individual risk factors that contribute to homelessness may include: domestic violence, chronic or unexpected health care expenses, untreated mental illness, substance abuse/addiction, divorce or separation, "aging out" of foster care, generational poverty, lack of education and job skills, and a variety of other circumstances. To address the root causes of homelessness, we must first provide safe, affordable, permanent housing with services sufficient to meet the needs of the homeless community. Once the basic needs of housing, nutrition and clothing are met, the next critical issues will include physical and mental health needs, legal issues, job training and employment, and financial management skills. To achieve this mission will require that service providers build and maintain a comprehensive homeless assistance network that will propose strategies to end homelessness for many individuals and families and will help attain the investment needed to achieve that end. We must build on successful programs that are in place, expanding their capacity to meet the level of need and put in place policies and agreements to work together as one comprehensive and effective countywide system of care. Discharge Coordination Policy Discharge planning to help those leaving institutions and rehabilitation programs access housing, mental health, and other necessary community services to prevent homelessness for those with mental illness or substance abuse. Providing short-term intensive support services immediately after discharge from hospitals, shelters, or jails has proven effective in further preventing recurrent homelessness during the transition to other community providers. Below, you will find the Discharge Plan for Augusta Richmond County as part of the Continuum of Care (CoC) application submission for 2010 to be implemented as part of the 2013 strategy presented in this Plan.

Continuum of Care (CoC) Discharge Planning Foster Care (Youth Aging Out): GA -504 COC REG 2010 013856 • Foster Care Discharge Protocol Formal Protocol Implemented If a youth in care reaches 18 and is unable to transition to independent living or be reunited with their family, they have the option of signing a Consent to • Remain in Foster Care. This allows the youth to stay in the foster care system until such time that they are able to live independently or until the time that they are 24 years of age. In addition, youth in foster care are assigned an Independent Living Coordinator and work with staff to develop a Written Transitional Living Plan.

The grant is designed to shift Medicaid Long -Term Care from its emphasis on institutional care to home and community -based services. MFP uses home and community based Medicaid waiver services and one -time transition services to help people resettle in the community. MFP is a joint effort between the Department of Community Health (DCH) and the Department of Human Resources (DHR) to transition consumers from institutional settings to a community setting. Through MFP, the state will establish a seamless information and referral process using transition coordinators, support services, and increased availability of affordable housing and transportation. The target populations include older adults, adults and children with physical disabilities and /or Traumatic Brain Injury, and adults or children with mental retardation and /or developmental disabilities. The goal is to transition individuals from nursing facilities, hospitals and/ or Intermediate Care Facilities for Mental Retardation (ICF -MR) to qualified community residences and rebalance the long -term care system by offering enhanced transition services for 12 months for qualified persons transitioning from a qualified institution to a qualified community- setting. Attachments: Money Follows the Person Mental Health: Mental Health Discharge Protocol: Formal Protocol Implemented The Continuity of Care Transition Planning Guidance is provided to all state mental health hospitals. The hospitals are asked to develop a Transition Plan for all individuals being discharged which addresses multiple areas including housing and residential supports. Staff conduct assessments to identify those individuals that are at risk of re- admission, including whether or not they have been or will be homeless. Staff and community providers identify services that will address these needs and determine how services will be made available. Transition planning begins at admission including linking individuals up with community based service providers. Regional coordinators oversee the Continuity of Care planning and assure that collaboration is occurring between hospitals and community based providers. Any individual that has been hospitalized more than 60 days and is considered appropriate for discharge is placed on the Mental Health Planning List: No person on this list is discharged without an appropriate Person Centered Transition Plan that provides for the individual's receipt of appropriate community services. The State will monitor performance measures that track the quality and consistency of the transition planning process.

The residence must be considered stable and suitable. A homeless shelter is not considered to be a valid residence. No individual is released on parole directly to a homeless facility. The Reentry Partnership Housing Program was formed to facilitate the transition of individuals that are eligible for parole but lack a residence. This program is a collaborative effort between the State Board of Pardons and Parole, the Department of Corrections and the Department of Community Affairs. The program provides participating organizations with short term financial assistance in exchange for the provision of stable housing and food. There are four Pre- Release Centers throughout the State which address the reentry needs of offenders who have two years or less to serve. These centers focus on locating suitable housing and meaningful work upon discharge. The Department of Corrections also has a Faith and Character Based Initiative which matches ex- offenders with faith based organizations that assist the individual with housing and mentoring upon release.

Continuum of Care (CoC) Coordination Instructions: A CoC should regularly assess Its local homeless assistance system and identify shortcomings and unmet needs. One way in which a CoC can improve itself is through long -term strategic planning. CoCs are encouraged to establish specific goals and then implement short-term action steps.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Community Development Non - Housing Community Development Needs Based on input received during the development of the ACTION PLAN, Non - Housing Community Development needs can be grouped into three categories: public facilities and services, economic development, and social services. Public facilities that need improving include recreation facilities, senior citizens centers, streets, sidewalks, street lights, water and sewer lines, and fire stations. Handicapped accessibility to public facilities also needs to be addressed. Public services that need to be improved or expanded include police protection and related anti -crime efforts, code enforcement, job training, removal of dilapidated structures, and the removal of trash and debris from vacant lots. Improvements to public facilities and services, especially in conjunction with housing and economic development activities, are of benefit to the entire living environment for residents of low income neighborhoods. Economic development needs include jobs for unemployed and under employed residents, access to financing for existing businesses, technical and financial assistance for starting new businesses, and bringing more private investment into low income neighborhoods. Social service problems identified include infant mortality, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, HIV /AIDS, school dropout and truancy, irresponsible parenting, and lack of marketable job skills. Several nonprofit organizations expressed a need for property acquisition, repairs to facilities, operating and maintenance assistance, transportation assistance, and funding to offer new or expanded levels of social services dealing with many of these problems. Antipoverty Strategy Anti - Poverty Strategy According to the 2010 Census, 45,073 Augusta - Richmond County residents live in poverty. This figure represents 22.4% of the city's population which is 5.9% higher than population numbers for the same target group for the state. Of these, 21,329 persons operate at an income 50% or below poverty levels, which also exceeds the state average of only 7.3% (Source: http : / /www.city- data.com/povertv/ poverty- Augusta - Richmond - Countv - Georgia.html). Young family's especially Action Plan 67 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development female- headed households with children are particularly affected by poverty. This specific segment of the population with one or more children is growing. The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program, because of work mandates has forced more people into the workforce in low - paying jobs. The most expensive items families must provide for are housing and utility costs, child care and transportation. In addition, low - income seniors have an additional burden to cope with in regards to medical costs. The City's anti - poverty strategy is based on reducing the high cost of basic human needs, increase basic income and provide supportive services to assist in filling the gaps. Anti- Poverty priorities: 1. Develop an effective continuum of care for the homeless and those at greatest risk of becoming homeless. 2. Engage in construction and rehabilitation of safe, decent affordable housing and/or homebuyer assistance programs. 3. Provide transitional housing and self - sufficiency training for homeless families. 4. Create job opportunities and training opportunities for low- income families through economic development incentives to local businesses and newly locating industries. 5. Provide day care services for children to allow parents to work and/or take advantage of educational opportunities. 6. Promote community education programs such as preparation for a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) through the local public school system, community colleges and other social service agencies. 7. Support a transportation network between housing, jobs and educational /training facilities, especially for special needs populations. 8. Support provisions of free or low cost medical/dental care for those in need. 9. Assist in assuring that appropriate referrals are made for those persons requiring services from agencies that provide health, mental health and other services. 10. Support non - profits involved in assisting persons in poverty by providing funds for food, clothing, housing and jobs.

Activities of primary importance are providing housing assistance and services that assist this population to maintain housing stability where they can maintain complex medication regimens and address HIV /AIDS related problems. These include, but are not limited to, the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of housing units; costs for facility operations; rental assistance; and short-term payments to prevent homelessness. HOPWA funds also may be used for health care and mental health services, chemical dependency treatment, nutritional services, case management, assistance with daily living, and other supportive services. Funds are appropriated annually by Congress to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for administration of this program. HOPWA funds are then awarded by formula to eligible states and Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Areas (EMSAs) that meet the minimum number of cumulative AIDS cases. States and metropolitan areas coordinate use of HOPWA funds with their respective Consolidated Plans, a collaborative process whereby the state or metropolitan area establishes a unified vision for community development actions. Rental assistance is short-term assistance that helps clients with rent for three months. Emergency assistance provides funds for client emergencies such as security deposits, utility bills, and small home repairs. Utility assistance provides funds for client utility bills such as electricity, natural gas, and water. Motel assistance provides for motel stays for clients traveling long distances to their medical appointments. Tenant based rental assistance provides a subsidy toward housing costs. Homeless prevention provides funds to prevent the incidence of homelessness such as rent, utilities, and security deposits. Supportive Services provides funding for mental health, personal assistance, nutrition, and other services not covered by any other funding source. The estimated amount of the FY 2013 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS ( HOPWA) Program formula allocation to Augusta is $425,840. As the Formula Grant Administrator, the city of Augusta is responsible for coordinating the allocation of HOPWA funds to eligible projects throughout the metropolitan area and reporting to HUD on program implementation. As a result, Augusta is working with other local governments and service agencies in the metropolitan area to develop a strategy to address the needs of persons with HIV /AIDS and grants these HOPWA funds to eligible project sponsors based on a competitive application process. During the review of the 2013 Action Plan, the City sought public input on the needs of persons with HIV /AIDS. Specific HOPWA Objectives Action Plan 73 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development The purpose of the HOPWA Program is to provide states and localities with resources and incentives to devise long -term strategies for meeting the housing needs of low- income persons living with HIV /AIDS and their families. This focus on providing housing assistance and related support services for HOPWA - eligible clients will reduce the risks of homelessness for this population and increase access to appropriate healthcare and other support. Homelessness, HIV disease, and access to health care are fundamentally interconnected. Stable housing coupled with supportive services responsive to their complex needs, increases the ability of persons living with HIV /AIDS, particularly those who are low income, to access and adhere to life - sustaining HIV /AIDS treatment. Without stable housing, persons with HIV /AIDS cannot access the complex treatment and care vital to survival. Access to clean water, bathrooms, refrigeration, food, and the ability to take medications on a routine schedule can be severely impaired, resulting in declining health. Therefore, Augusta, Georgia seeks to meet the following goals through its HOPWA program funding: • To ensure that progress is being made toward meeting the HOPWA goal for providing affordable housing using HOPWA funds and other resources for persons with HIV /AIDS and their families through a comprehensive community plan; • To ensure that community -wide HIV/AIDS housing strategies are meeting HUD's national goal of increasing the availability of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low- income persons living with HIV /AIDS; • To ensure that community strategies produce and support actual units of housing for persons living with HIV /AIDS; and finally, • To ensure that community strategies identify and supply related supportive services in conjunction with housing to ensure the needs of persons living with HIV /AIDS and their families are met. Applicant (Project Sponsor) Eligibility Applicants must be a nonprofit (including faith -based organizations) or governmental housing agency currently receiving HOPWA funding targeting services to individuals living within the eligible metropolitan statistical areas. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to manage the HOPWA program and all applicable federal policies and procedures including compliance with federal and state non - discrimination laws. Applicants must have established standard accounting practices including internal controls, fiscal accounting procedures and cost allocation plans and be able to track agency and program budgets by revenue sources and expenses. Applicants with outstanding audit findings, IRS findings, monitoring findings or other compliance issues are not eligible for a HOPWA grant. Please note that HCD will work with all interested parties toward the resolution of unresolved matters, where appropriate. Applicants should demonstrate the ability to coordinate, where appropriate, program participant services with other service providers and leverage where possible other resources toward meeting overall program participant needs and program goals. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to meet all Action Plan 74 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development reporting and record keeping requirements including maintaining the confidentiality of program participant records. Eligible applicants should be able to demonstrate sufficient organizational capacity to include but not limited to the following: • Previous experience running similar programs • Appropriate program oversight • Effective grant management experience • Adequate capacity for data collection and reporting • Ability to leverage program with other resources Other Narrative Performance Measurements In 1993, HUD added several new reporting requirements in order for Grantees to comply with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. As part of the annual reporting process and the generation of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), each Grantee charts the year's results and compares the numbers to the expected five year goal. These performance charts are update and included in the CAPER as a way to review annual results against projects and to prepare a strategy for the next year's Action Plan. Background During September 2003, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a notice encouraging formula Grantees receiving community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Housing Opportunities with AIDS (HOPWA) programs to develop and use performance measurement systems. The purpose of a performance measurement system is to determine the effectiveness of programs and projects funded with funds from the aforementioned block grant programs. Also, the performance measurement system will enable HUD to collect information on the outcomes /results of activities funded with federal funds and to aggregate that information at the national, state, and local level. On a local level, Grantees can use the data from the performance measures to monitor progress in achieving the desired outcomes in meeting the needs of the community. HUD's standardized performance measurement system will consist of the following components: 1. Objectives a. Create Suitable Living Environments b. Provide Decent Affordable Housing c. Create Economic Opportunities 2. Outcomes a. Improve the availability or accessibility of units or services b. Improve the affordability not just of housing but also of other services Action Plan 75 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development c. Improve sustainability by promoting viable communities 3. Indicators a. Indicates that an outcome is occurring b. Measures outcomes such as the # of persons served, # of units completed, and the # jobs created. Implementation To ensure that the City's Consolidated Plan activities meet its goals, strategies and objectives in accordance with HUD's prescribed standardized performance measurement system the City implements the following guidelines: 1. The City funds only select activities that meet one of HUD's three objectives and can demonstrate achievable outcomes. 2. The need for performance measures is specified in all Requests for Proposals and Applications. 3. Performance measurement requirements are incorporated in all agreements between the City and organizations receiving funds. 4. To measure accomplishments on a short-term and long -tern basis, the City uses the "Performance Measurement Tracking Table ". This information is incorporated into the Consolidated Plan and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The table contains measurable short-term objectives planned for each year along with the planned activities, unit of accomplishment and the number of expected accomplishments upon completion of each activity. 5. Another component of the measurement system is the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). Throughout the program year, staff enters its planned and actual accomplishments for each activity into IDIS. At the end of the year, the staff generates reports that summarize the accomplishments. 6. The final component of the City's performance measurement system is the CAPER. 2013 ACTION PLAN AND PROJECTS Introduction and Executive Summary During the Year 2013 Augusta - Richmond County will implement a variety of activities designed to address the priority housing and community development needs outlined in the consolidated plan. Some projects will be implemented by the Augusta Housing and Community Development (AHCD) Department in cooperation with other city departments. Other projects will be carried out by nonprofit organizations addressing a particular need or working in a specific neighborhood. The Action Plan includes a discussion of the resources to be used in implementing the activities, followed by an outline of the activities to be undertaken. The CDBG - funded activities are subdivided into the following categories: Public Facilities and Improvements, Public Services, Action Plan 76 Version 2.0 ESTIMATED FEDERAL RESOURCES 2012 ACTION PLAN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA PROGRAM ENTITLEMENT AMOUNT PROGRAM INCOME TOTAL CDBG $1,723,227 $ 150,000 $1,873,227 ESG $176,697 0 $176,697 HOME $766,812 $235,000 $1,001,812 HOPWA $425,840 0 $ 425,840 TOTAL $3,092,576 $385,000 $3,477,576 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development Rehabilitation/Historic Preservation, Acquisition, Clearance/Demolition, Supporting Privately Owned Utilities, Relocation, Economic Development, Special Activities, Administration and Planning. HOME, ESG, and Public Housing activities are listed separately. The Action Plan concludes with a discussion of other actions and program requirements the City intends to address during the coming years. The majority of the activities will be completed during the 2013 calendar year. Projects requiring more planning and preparation, such as new housing construction, will likely take 12 -18 months to complete. The geographic distribution of 2013 Action Plan activities are shown in maps included in Section VII. These maps show the location of CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and ESG projects. The majority of projects and sponsoring agencies are located in areas with a majority of low and moderate - income persons and / or minorities. The maps indicate that almost all of the activities (CDBG, HOME, ESG, & HOPWA) included in the 2013 Action Plan are targeted to the census tracts with the highest concentrations of low and moderate income persons, minorities, and the unemployed. These areas have the highest priority because they exhibit the greatest need for eligible CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG - funded projects. By targeting assistance to these areas, the City is also helping achieve the objectives of the consolidated plan. They are also the location of almost all of the Public Housing Authority facilities. Where activity locations are outside low and moderate - income areas, assistance is targeted to organizations serving eligible groups, such as the homeless, the elderly and disadvantaged youth. It is important to note that these census tracts also coincide with the boundaries of neighborhoods having the highest concentrations of low and moderate - income persons, minorities, unemployed, and deteriorated housing. Federal and other Resources Augusta will use both Federal and nonfederal public and private resources to address the priority needs and objectives identified in the Action Plan. Federal resources to be spent in 2012 are summarized in the following table. Action Plan 77 Version 2.0 City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development It is unclear at this time what private resources (e.g. equity, bank loans) will be committed during the program year. Private funds are most likely to be committed to new housing construction and economic development. It is anticipated that private and nonprofit entities will seek funding and / or tax credits for projects in furtherance of the objectives spelled out in the consolidated plan. Homeless service providers will apply for funding under the Continuum of Care Program. There are also plans to continue to receive City funds from the Hotel tax that was implemented in 2008. During 2010, the City floated a bond to generate $8 million in revenue for the Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project.
