INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of Consolidated Plan The Augusta-Richmond County Consolidated Strategy and Plan (hereafter consolidated plan or CSP) serves two purposes. First, the CSP is a plan outlining the local strategy to address needs in the areas of community development, economic development, housing, and homelessness. The CSP includes background information on Augusta-Richmond County, a housing and community development strategy for the years 201014, and a description of the projects to be implemented during the 2010 program year. Second, the CSP serves as the grant application for projects funded under the following formula based programs: Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPW A). Several other federal programs require that funding applications be consistent with an approved consolidated plan. The CSP 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. B. Lead Ae;encv 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 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 twenty two, and is divided into two divisions: Housing Division and the Programs Division. The Housing Division coordinates HOME-financed housing rehabilitation and new construction projects, and offers down payment assistance to low-income first-time homebuyers. The division also administers the Housing Opportunities for People with Aids (HOPW A) 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 projects funded under the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program. The Division also provides assistance to businesses and promotes economic revitalization and implements the Facade program to renovate storefronts in the downtown area. The division works with other economic development organizations and associations to attract new businesses and employment to Augusta-Richmond County.

Backe:round on Aue:usta 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.

City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 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.

Alaskan Native, 1.5 percent Asian, 0.1 percent Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander, 1 percent some other race, and 2 percent two or more races. This marks a change in racial composition from 1990, during when the county's population was 55 percent White, 42 percent Black, and 3 percent other races.

The following table indicates that median household and per capita income increased in Augusta and Richmond County between 1989 and 1999. The increase in Augusta is somewhat deceiving because consolidation resulted in a large population increase in the city. Even with the increases, Augusta and Richmond County figures continue to lag behind comparable averages for the state and metropolitan area. 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 new data will impact the amount of Federal Funding each city will receive. 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. As the department entered into the last year of its Consolidated Plan, they realized that economic conditions had changed and that it was important to have new data on population trends and economic conditions in order to create an effective five year plan. As we progress towards our next census in 2010, the data we need won't be readily available until April 2010, and with the current economic conditions, the department felt that a Market Study would provide a gap analysis prior to the release of the 2010 Census data. Part of the Market Study would be 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-l illustrates the area the Market Study was performed on and the division of the area into three study areas. Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 8 Year 2010 Action Plan .

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 ofInterstate 520 and in study areas in neighboring counties. I The Primary Study Region (PSR) historically has remained an African-American community. I I . 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. I . 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. I I I I I . 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. I . 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. I . 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. I I I I . 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. . 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 Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 10 Year 2010 Action Plan I ~4~--~. yo.

Other large employers include the County government (2,612 jobs), FPL Food (500 jobs), and Thermal Ceramics (444 jobs). I D2. Summarv of Population Trends and Proiections I Half of the population (52.1 %) in Augusta-Richmond County resides inside the Bobby Jones Expressway (1-520). 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. I I I 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. I I I I 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 r~sult, 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. I 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. I I I I I I The population growth rate is projected to increase in the Evans/Martinez area. 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.

Citizen Participation and the Consolidated Plan Citizen participation was an integral part of the Consolidated Plan planning process. Augusta- Richmond County afforded citizens and others an opportunity to provide input in a number of ways. Three public meetings and three focus group meetings were held in the course of developing the consolidated plan (see schedule below). The purpose of the meetings were 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 Consolidation Plan. Advertisements for the hearings were placed in local newspapers and were also broadcast on local radio and TV stations. 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.

The Community Needs Assessment Survey Form (copy attached) was distributed at the public meetings and through local churches, nonprofit organizations, and community centers. The form -asked residents to select the two most important needs in the community from a list of projects and services that are eligible for funding under the CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPW A programs. A total of three hundred and ten (310) forms were completed and returned by citizens. During the previoosplanning process, the department had to its increased use of both focus group meetings and in more highly attended public meetings. This increased the awareness of the Planning Process and also enforced the importance of completing the forms. The Form Data was used in the generation ohhe 2009 Augusta Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment. A.l Public Notices and Public Comments We published the Public Notice for a Public Meeting and request for Public Comments in both the Augusta Chronicle and the Metro Courier on Augusta 28, 2009. Our Public Meeting was held on September 8, 2009 and our comment period ended October 8, 2009 . We received one comment from the August Mini Theater. A copy of this letter can be found in Part III, along with a copy of our Public Notices. The request from the Mini-Theatre was for additional funding to increase their grant from $15,000 to $25,000. Our recommendation was to leave their funding at $15,000 and to give the agency first consideration if reprogram funds become available during the Year 2010. B. The 2009 AU2usta Housin2 and Homeless Needs Assessment B.l Purvose of the Studv This study had three main purposes: to collect and evaluate both quantitative and qualitative information, analyze this information, and prepare a report that summarizes the Augusta housing market and the housing and homeless needs assessments. This information was also used in developing the five-year consolidated plan by the City of Augusta. B.2 Housinf! Needs Across all household types and income categories, there were 23,500 households experiencing a housing problem, with about 19,570 of these households having incomes 80 percent or less of median family income. By 2014, the number of households with unmet housing needs is expected to rise to 25,635 as the population continues to grow. Further, the number of households with incomes below 80 percent of mediM-mmseoold income will be 21,303. This will continue to place pressures on affordable housing resources and programs. The findings of the 2008 Housing and Community Development Survey indicates that housing of any sort is thought to be of high need by a majority of StlTVeyl'espondents. The following were all consistently and loudly expressed as high need: affordable for-sale, affordable rental, housing for the disabled, assistance with homeownership, rehabilitation of existing units, senior housing or simply just assistance with rental housing.

The-entity:ftlmgthe application was the Continuum of Care Focus Group, which comprised 90 percent of its membership from non- profit providers, homeless or formerly homeless persons, advocates, and citizens interested in homeless issues. This document indicated that there were 441 ....flemeless..... reop-Ie, with 29 unsheltered and 149 considered as chronically homeless. There is a wide gap between demand and supply of homeless shelter facilities. The findings of the 2008 Housing and Community Development Survey indicated that emergency shelters, such as domestic'viOlence faciIities and other homeless shelters are badly needed in the community. C. Efforts to Enhance Citizen and Public Ae:encv Involvement To encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the housing and homeless needs assessment as well as the upcoming Consolidated Plan, the AHCDD undertook two main actions: facilitating three focus group meetings and sending out a city-wide" survey. The focus group meetings were vital to the planning process because they allowed interested parties to voice their opinion on the needs in the community for housing and homeless needs. TIle attendees at the focus meetings are those organizations who deal with the needs on a daily basis and are able to provide prioritization on services that are being met and those not being met. The other tool used by the department was to issue a city wide survey. This survey was available online as was also mailed out to organizations who work with the Department Thi~ survey asked questions on all aspects of community development to get a good picture on what areas the community sees as its highest need. C.] Focus Group Meetinf!s for the Consolidated Plan The AHCDD conducted selected focus group meetings in December of 2008. These meetings targeted specific audiences. A special session was held on Tuesday December 9, for the purpose of discussing homeless and non-homeless special needs. This particular focus group was organized as [oUows:. The focus group meeting started at 10:00 a.m. with introductions being given by all attending. Those in attendance included AHCDD staff persons: Donna Wickes, VickiC.Joooson, Adrian Small-Jones and Henry Holt III. Others attending the meeting included: Ed Austin, Phil Bishop, Gerald T. Williams, Orion Jeter, Nancy Szocinski, Joan Stoddard, Dorothy Gibson, Rico M. Hogan, Lynda Suarez, Mackenzie Harkins, and George Champlin. AHCDD gave an overview of the purpose for the focus grouprneetingand its role in the process of writing the upcoming Five-year Consolidated Plan. The facilitator explained in detail the components of homelessness and special needs populations. After the slide presentation was completed, the attendees we broke into two smaller groups. Each group was given four questions Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 15 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development and asked to discuss, answer and prioritize their answers and nominate a spokesperson to present to the full group. The questions the groups received were: What services should your organization provide? What would you like to see happen in the community? Does your organization have the capacity to provide the services? Are there organizations you would like to partner with? The results of this session were very useful. One of the positive results of the meeting was the interactive among the organizations. They were very happy to interact with the other organizations and better understand what services they provide. This knowledge would provide value when individuals had a need they couldn't support; nowtb:ey ccmMrefeF the inaivllual te.- another organization. Several of the key areas for improvement were as follows: more transportation to doctor's appointments and interviews, money for utilities and rent, money for bus tickets, and more support for case management. C.2 2008 Resident Survev The AHCDD elected to use a survey instrument for development of the upcoming, Consolidated Plan. The survey comprised a series of questions, in which the respondent was asked to rank the desirability of the particular housing or community development need. The levels of the ranking were listed as "no need," "little need," "medium need," or "high need." Topics included community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, the neecls of special populations, housing, and economic development needs. Selected questions were then posed under each topic area. A sample of the printed survey is presented on the following two pages. The survey was distributed by way of an email containing a link to a Web-based survey, with additional printed copies distributed throughout the community. The survey generated more than 300 responses, nearly four times the response experienced during the previous consolidated planning process. This document presents only those survey responses related to the housing and homeless needs assessment. A copy of this survey can be found in Section 8. The following table briefly outlines those responses to the housing component of the survey. A complete list of the responses can be found in the final document ca:lted <4l'he 2009-Angnsta Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment". A copy of this document can be obtained by calling the AHCDD.

HOUSING AND HOMELESS NEEDS ASSESSMENT A. General Characteristics of Housine: 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 1990 and 2000, total housing units in Richmond County increased 6.5% to 82,312 units. This is lower than the 19% increase in units between 1980 and 1990 (see table below). The number of units in Augusta nearly tripled, but this is a statistical anomaly reflecting the consolidation of Augusta and Richmond County in 1996. Nevertheless, Augusta accounts for 98% of all the housing units in Richmond County. Hephzibah and Blythe also recorded significant increases in total housing units, but part of the gain reflects annexations the two communities completed prior to consolidation.

(); J ,\ 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. In contrast, most census tracts in or near the "old" city either recorded a decline in housing units or remained esssentially unchanged from 1990. Of interest is the fact that areas encompassing some post-World War II subdivisions are beginning to expereience a decline in housing units. Also of note is that downtown and adjacent areas registered an increase in housing units. The detached single-family, site-built home continues to be the dominant type of housing unit in the market, representing 61.5% of the total units in Richmond County in 2000. This is up slightly from a 60% share in 1990, but below the 71 % share recorded in 1980. In the last twenty years a number of new apartment complexes have been built in Augusta. In addition, the aging of the population and growth in "empty-nester" and one-person households has increased the demand for attached and semidetached units on small lots. As a result, the number of attached, single-family units increased from 2,387 in 1990 to 3,088 in 2000 (+29%). 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.

This is up slightly from the 56.4% rate in 1990. Since Augusta includes nearly 98% of all the housing units in Richmond County, the city's owner/renter split is almost identical to the county's mix. Prior to consolidation, a majority of the occupied units in Augusta were renter-occupied units. This characteristic had been a part of Augusta's housing market for several decades, owing in part to the age of the housing stock and the concentration of public housing complexes in the former city. Until the 1980s, owner-occupancy had been steadily increasing in the county. The construction of several apartment complexes during the 1980s pushed the percentage of renter- occupied units up. The table below summarizes current housing tenure in Richmond County and the three cities. Housing Tenure, 2000 Richmond County, Augusta, Hephzibah and Blythe Richmond Co.

S. Bureau of the Census, SF 1,2000 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 7.5% have been constructed in the last ten years or so. The remaining 14% were built in 1949 or earlier. Generally speaking, the majority of the units that are fifty years or older are concentrated in inner-city neighborhoods located in the northeast part ofthe city.

"- City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development In 2000, 8,392 (10.2%) of Richmond County's housing units were vacant. Of the total vacant units, 8,174 (97.4%) were located in Augusta. The 10.2% vacancy rate is lower than the 11.1% vacancy rate recorded at the time ofthe 1990 census, but higher than the 8.2% rate in 1980. One factor that contributed to the decline in the vacancy rate is that fewer apartment units were constructed during the 1990s than in the 1980s. The following map shows the distribution of vacant units across Richmond County census tracts. The map reflects an inverse relationship between vacancy rates and income and homeownership. The tracts with the highest income and homeownership have the lowest percentage of vacancies. The tracts with the highest concentrations of low-income, minorities, and renters are the tracts with the greatest percent of vacant properties. As shown on this map, census tracts 3, 6, 7, and IS-all of which are located within the old city limits and two of which are downtown-have vacancy rates of more than 17 percent. These same census tracts have median incomes that are equal to or below 80 percent of the county's median income-meaning the majority of the households are low-income.

Current Housine: 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. Housing sales in the Augusta area reflect the continued expansion of suburban parts of the region. The Greater Augusta Association of Realtors tracks real state 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 Aue:usta. Geore:ia Land Bank Authoritv 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 playa 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 Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 Year 2010 Action Plan 29 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I c>-/~--.~. City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 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. D. Public and Assisted Housine: 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 sixteen (16) properties in Augusta- Richmond County. Together, these properties house 6,169 people in 2,763 living units. In addition, the PHA administers another 3,609 units under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program located on scattered sites throughout the city. The chart below profiles the 16 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 Jor 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. There are fourteen (14) resident associations. Residents of all AHA properties are automatically members of a resident association. Participation in the resident associations is voluntary. 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.

Barriers to Affordable Housin2 In December of 2008, the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Study was completed for Augusta-Richmond County by Western Economic Services, LLC, referred to as WES. The WES report updated a similar study completed by TONY A 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 complete copy of this report can be obtained 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. Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 32 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I c>-/~~ . City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development · 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. 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.

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,. El. Conclusions from Studv - 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-l, 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. E2. SUJ!J!ested Actions - Home Ownership Counselin/l and Education 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 opened a Housing Counseling and Homebuyer Education Office. The purpose of this office Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 34 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~~~--~.. ~() It c. I.. ~..

The staff will provide credit counseling, homebuyer education and mortgage lending education on the different products that are available. In addition, they will provide foreclosure prevention counseling in order to keep families in their homes. F. 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 CoCo The Augusta continuum was the first in Georgia to implement a successful 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 2003. Of this total, 2,631 were children, an indication of our growing subpopulation of homeless women with children. At present, a total of 25 agencies and AHCD Department utilized this system. It is planned to offer this service to up to 29 additional homeless service provider agencies, enhancing our continuum's ability to coordinate case management and client services. The homeless population in Augusta has an ongoing need for food, shelter, medical care and a variety of supportive services. Table F-l identifies the organizations currently providing housing (emergency, transitional and permanent supportive) and supportive services to the homeless. The housing inventory tables list the name of the provider, the target population, and the number of beds available for individuals and/or families, for Emergency Shelter (ES), Transitional Housing (TH) and Permanent Housing (PH).

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. Access to prevention and outreach services is available via a homeless emergency hotline operated by the Augusta Task Force for the Homeless (ATFH). The A TFH also offers centralized intake, assessment and referral programs. 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 quarterly Street Outreach and the annual Homeless Stand Down and Homeless Resource Fair, are held to provide the homeless with information and assistance. Centralized assessment is one component of a computer-based case management system maintained by A TFH. Service providers utilize this system to review initial assessment information about clients and add to the database. Clients are linked and case managed through this system to insure appropriate referrals are made and services are delivered. At present, 25 service agencies participate in the case management system. 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 on July 26,2004. G. Housin2: 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 manufactured housing and low-cost rental units as the housing of choice. Some owners Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 40 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I C---~~-~~ City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 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. Over the next five-year period, the City will provide affordable rental and homeownership with Federal funds to the following number of extremely low and moderate income families: Priority 5-Yr Goal CDBG/Home 0-30% 31-50% 51-80% H M L H M L OCR/OHR, OHNC OCR/15HR,OHNC OCR/OHR, OHNC 15CR/OHR,5HNC 25CR/OHR,15HNC 5/CR/OHR,15HNC 60 REHAB 35 New Construction RENTER Rental Rehab - CDBG (CR) Rental Rehab - HOME (HR) Rental New Construction -HOME (HNC) OWNER Housing Rehab - CDBG (CR ) Housing Rehab - HOME ( HR) New Construction - HOME (HNC 0-30% 31-50% 51-80% Total H. Homeless Assistance Needs Based on input received at public meetings (Consolidated Plan and Continuum of Care) and in funding proposals submitted by service providers, more beds and additional supportive services are needed for the homeless in Augusta. According to the latest Gaps Analysis Chart (see below), there is a need for an additional 365 beds for individuals and another 583 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.).

Non-Housim! Community Development Needs Based on input received during the development of the CSP, Non-Housing Community Development needs can be grouped into-three categoifes:-public facilities arid 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. K. Priority Needs Tables lA, IB, 2A and 2B identify the priority needs for the homeless, non-homeless, housing, and community development. Table lA, Homeless and Special Needs Population, identifies the needs for housing and support services among homeless subgroups. It also lists the relative priority assigned to each category of need. The relative priority (high, medium, low) was assigned based on a combination of factors. These included the size of the unmet need, the perception of the need by the homeless and homeless service providers, the presence or absence of resources to address the need, and the quality of the existing support services. As a result, a high priority was assigned to such categories as emergency and transitional shelters and support services such as job training, case management and mental health care. Table IB, Special Needs of the Non-Homeless shows the estimated need for transitional housing for selected non-homeless subpopulations. Statistically, the need is greatest among the elderly, the physically disabled and persons with HIV/AIDS. In the table, these groups were assigned a priority need of "high' or "low" based on the statistical need and on the fact that organizations exist to help these groups secure transitional housing and related services. The relative priority of housing needs, as summarized in Table 2A, Priority Needs Summary, is based on the housing market analysis in Section III of the plan. The market analysis revealed needs related to housing condition, affordability, choice, and financing. Extremely low income renters and owners encounter these problems to a greater extent than households in the low or moderate-income categories. As a result, the city's housing strategy places a high priority on Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 55 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~4~~-r~ /" ORG I.

A medium priority has been assigned to assisting low-income families and individuals. A low priority is placed on assistance to moderate-income households. Table 2B, Community Development Needs (Table 2B), groups non-housing community development needs under the following categories: public facilities, infrastructure, public services, anti-crime, youth programs, senior programs, economic development and planning. The relative priority among categories was assigned based on such factors as the need for specific public improvements serving low and moderate-income households, input received on survey forms and needs assessment forms, the ability of local government and/or service organizations to address the need, the presence or absence of institutional capacity and the desire to fund projects that further the national objectives of community development programs.

(~.I...... City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development IV. FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN A. Vision and Objectives The foundation of the consolidated 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 with this vision in mind. The following local objectives will guide the city's efforts: OBJECTIVES OF CONSOLIDATED 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. 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.

Housin2 and Community Development Resources Augusta-Richmond County expects a mix of public and private resources to be available during the next five years. Public resources include CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPW A, 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. C. 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: 1. Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy - On March 27, 2009, BUD 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 ofthree 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 Subrecipient 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 Subrecipient to prove either the public benefit or creation/retention of jobs is very time consuming and requires tedious and complete paperwork. Many times, Subrecipients 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 Subrecipients.

City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development flexibility, the grantee can provide programs with higher dollar values, mlrumlze Subrecipient 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. Figure C 1-1 Illustrates the Boundaries of the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. 2. 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: Tax Exempt Schedule Laney Walker Enterprise Zone Years 1-5 Years 6-7 Years 8 Years 9 Year 10 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 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. Figure C2-2 illustrates the Laney Walker Enterprise Zone. 3. Housing Counseling and Home Ownership Center. In order to support the many issues surrounding Home Ownership, the Department as invested money in the opening of a Housing Counseling and Home Ownez:ship Center. The purpose of the Center will be to prepare people for Home Ownership by proving home ownership seminars and short and long term credit and budget counseling.

There will be qualified individuals on staff to review mortgage options from both an initial purchase point and information on foreclosure prevention after the sale of the home. This Center will provide information on Fair Housing and provide a solution to mediate many of the barriers to Fair Housing. D. Housin2 Strate2V The Augusta-Richmond County housing market is a growing one, but one in which much of the new construction is taking place in suburban areas. 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.

In implementing an economic development strategy, the city will be striving to achieve the following goals: 1. Increase access to capital for small businesses. 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. 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 $25,000. 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.

AUGUSTA-RICHMOND COUNTY CONSOLIDATED PLAN - 2010 ACTION PLAN A. Introduction and Executive Summary During the Year 2010 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, RehabilitationlHistoric Preservation and Residential, Acquisition, Clearance/Demolition, Privately Owned Utilities, Relocation, Economic Development, Special Activities, and Administration, Planning and Contingency. 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 2010 calendar year. Projects requiring more planning and preparation, such as new housing construction, will likely take 18-24 months to complete. The geographic distribution of 2010 Action Plan activities are shown in maps included in SeCtion VII. These maps show the location of CDBG, HOME, HOPW A, 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, & HOPW A) included in the 2010 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, HOPW A 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.

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. There is a current proposal within the City to float a bond to cover the building of a TEE Center and to continue funding the Laney- Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Effort. The current funding has been used for the acquisition of property by the Land Bank. The property acquired will be deeded to developers in the future for the construction of new housing within the revitalization area.

Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Strate2V 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 outliried 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 ofthe 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. · Preventionffreatment Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 80 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I e:-/~'~~ City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 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. Cate 0 Notification Ongoing Maintenance Re uired Activities All ofthe following apply: · Pamphlet · Disclosure · Notice of Lead Hazard Presumption/Evaluation · Notice of Lead Hazard Reduction One or more of the following may apply: · Visual Assessment · Paint Testing · Risk Assessment (or lead hazard screen) One or more of the following may apply: · Paint Stabilization · Interim Controls · Abatement The following always apply: · Safe work Practices · Clearance This requirement may apply: · Ins ect and maintain lead hazard reduction work Lead Hazard Evaluation Lead Hazard Reduction . 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 Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 81 Year 2010 Action Plan I I C>-~~~/~ ~() R CI A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development I transaction, th~ purchasers are required to receive a disclosure of any known lead-based paint findings. I 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. I . Lead Hazard Evaluation and Reduction I 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 EP A laboratory is used for testing of samples taken during inspections. I I 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. I I I 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. I I Approach to Lead Hazard Evaluation & Reduction Notifications Lead Hazard Evaluation $5,000 Do no harm $5,000 - $25,000 Identify and control lead hazards >$25,000 Identify & abate lead hazards I On oin Maintenance Options - Repair surfaces disturbed during rehabilitation - Clearance of work site For HOME rental ro erties onl - Presume LBP - Use safe work practices on all surfaces All ro. ects - Paint testing of surfaces to be disturbed by rehab - Risk assessment - Interim controls - Safe work practices - Clearance of unit For HOME rental ro erties onl - Presume LBP and/or hazards - Use standard treatments All ro' ects - Paint testing of surfaces to be disturbed by rehab - Risk assessment - Abatement - Safe work practices - Clearance of unit For HOME rental ro erties onl - Presume LBP and/or hazards - Abate all applicable surfaces I All ro. ects - Paint testing of surfaces to be disturbed by rehab Lead Hazard Reduction I I I I Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 82 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .~~~-~ ~o. l:t <~ I. A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development . 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 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 qf 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.

As previously mentioned, the AHCD Department has many years of experience in planning and implementing CDBG and related program activities. The Augusta Housing Authority also has many years of experience in providing public housing and related support services, and has been designated as a high performer by HUD's Atlanta Office. These two agencies will be responsible for the implementation of the majority of projects covered by the strategy. However, a number of well- established agencies and organizations will serve as subrecipients, and will share in the responsibility for the implementing projects and delivering services. Augusta-Richmond County and the Augusta Housing Authority will keep lines of communication open with the involved parties to assure coordination and effective implementation of all activities. The AHCD Department also will continue to conduct monitoring reviews of all Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 84 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .1 I C>-~~~-~ yO ~..() J "- City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development subrecipients on a regular basis to assure that projects are carried out in accordance with the CSP. Monitoring will also be done to assure that projects meet all regulatory requirements and adhere to the necessary financial management techniques. During the public meetings, verbal comments were made regarding a number of housing and community development needs. Residents of low and moderate income neighborhoods are concerned about the level of crime, the accumulation of trash and debris in the streets and on vacant lots, the dilapidated condition of housing units, and environmental hazards in or near their neighborhoods. They believe that CDBG funds should be spent on cleaning up neighborhoods, improving the delivery of public services, rehabilitating owner and renter housing, relocation assistance, code enforcement, providing assistance to businesses, historic preservation, and building new facilities that offer more opportunities for recreation and the delivery of programs and services. 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 service. Representatives of the nonprofit groups said their clients needed more affordable housing, job opportunities, and improved access to services. These nonprofit organizations represented a diverse group including the homeless, seniors, the handicapped, veterans and low income neighborhoods. Some individuals expressed a need for assistance in starting up or expanding businesses in low income neighborhoods, and in providing job training for low income residents. H. Pro2:ram Specific Requirements 1. HOME Program a. HOME Program Match The allocation of funding by activities for the HOME Program represents the estimated entitlement and program income for Year 2010. The investment strategies proposed in the form of match will be met through: . Cost of infrastructure improvements associated with HOME projects paid through non-federal monetary sources . A percentage ofthe proceeds of single- or multi-family housing bonds issued by state, state instrumentality or local government; . Sweat equity . Direct costs of supportive services to residents of HOME projects . Direct cost of home buyer counseling to families purchasing homes with HOME assistance Consolidated Plan 2010 - 2014 85 Year 2010 Action Plan I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~4~--~ ~o U; C I A City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development b. HOME Resale and Recapture Provisions The provisions of PART 24 CFR 92.254 will apply to all HOME assisted homeownership projects. HOME funds may be provided to eligible homebuyers in the form of a forgivable loan for down payment assistance, closing costs or subordinate financing. The funds will be secured by a forgivable second mortgage. Should the buyer sell or transfer the property prior to the end of the required affordability period, recapture or resale provisions will be applied to ensure that the HOME assisted property remains affordable for the duration of the required affordability period. Recapture provisions will be enforced by means of a mortgage that is placed on the assisted property. The HOME funds will be secured by a mortgage recorded against the property and must include a provision that requires the recapture of the funds by HCDD in the event of the sale or transfer of the property or the occurrence of other non-compliance condition. The mortgage will also contain a provision that permits (upon sale of the property) that the initial investment of HOME funds need not be returned to HCDD if the property is sold to a low- income family in accordance with the regulations and with prior approval of HCDD. The Resale provision allows the original HOME-assisted owner to receive a fair return on the investment. This will include the full amount of the HOME assisted owner's investment in the property - conditioned on the property maintaining or appreciating in value over the elapsed affordability period. In instances where the property has appreciated in value over the elapsed period of affordability, the amount of the appreciated value to be retained by the original HOME assisted owner shall be prorated based upon the ratio of the original HOME-assisted owner's total investment in the property to the total amount of HOME assistance initially provided. If the proceeds from the sale or transfer are not sufficient to repay the entire HOME assistance, the repayment may be reduced or prorated by Augusta Housing and Community Development at its discretion. Alternatively, if the property is sold or transferred to an eligible low-income buyer, the affordability period will continue to be in effect for the remainder of the original affordability period and the same resale provisions will apply to the new owner. 2. Emergency Shelter Grant Program a. Match Requirements The City's allocation of ESG funds will be matched dollar for dollar by agencies receiving ESG grants. Sources of match to include but is not limited to cash and in-kind volunteer labor valued at $10 an hour. I. Monitorinf!

(~ I .., City of Augusta, Georgia - Housing and Community Development 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 HOPW A subrecipient activities as required by HUD in accordance with the agreement between the agency and the City. Subrecipients are required to submit monthly and/or quarterly and annual program and financial reports to facilitate monitoring. Site visits are conducted at least twice a year and an in-depth monitoring is conducted once a year. Annual monitoring includes ensuring that the subrecipients, 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 subrecipients 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. n. 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 Consolidate 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. Section 8 shows the HOPW A Performance Chart and Section 9 shows a sample of the overall Projects Performance Chart. These charts were added to track expected results to actual resorts for the five year period.

As you already know, the $15,000 is $10,000 less than our 2009 grant of $25,000. Also, we have expended all of our 2009 funds and are in need of additional Public Service funds to provide tuition fee assistance to our Fall students. Because of the new arts school and added programs, we are experiencing a one hundred percent increase in enrollment and the number of students needing financial assistance. This fiscal year, please consider granting $25,000 of recaptured funds to the Mini Theatre and increase the 201 o Tuition Fee Assistance grant to $25,000.
