LISTING OF PROPOSED PROJECTS (BUD 'FORMS FOR EACH PROJECT) 2 I. 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 inc1udesbackground information on Augusta-Richmond County, a housing and community development strategy for the years 2000-2004, and a description of the projects to be implemented during the 2000 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), and the HOME Investment- Partnership Program. Several other federal programs require that funding. applications be consistent with an approved consolidated plan. The CSP is a requirement 6fthe U.S. Department of Housmgand Urban'Development (BUD) 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 A~encv The Housing and Neighborhood Development Department (HND) is the lead agency in planning' and implementing housing and community development projects in Augusta-Richmond County. The department has a staff of twelve, and is divided into two sections': Housing Programs and Neighborhood Development. The Housing Programs Section coordinates CDBG and HOME- financed housing rehabilitation projects, downpayment assistance and new housing construction. . The Neighborhood' 'Development Section. is concerned with public improvements, business development, and public and nonprofit service. delivery affecting low and moderate-income areas. It also coordinates projects funded under the Emergency Shelter Grant Program. The department has over twenty years experience in administering Augusta's CDBG Program. 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. . . . C. Bac~ound on Augusta-Richmond County Augusta-Richmond County is located in east central Georgia adjacent to the state's border with South Carolina. Augusta-Richmond is the county seat for Richmond County, and 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 and McDuffie in Georgia and Aiken and Edgefield in South Carolina. Figure 1 shows the location of Augusta-Richmond County in relation' to the surrounding counties. 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 3 demographic characteristics of the community reflect those of an older city merged with newer suburbs. Chart A summarizes population change in Richmond County between 1980 and 1994. During this period, the total population of the then unincorporated part of Richmond County increased while the population of the city of Augusta declined. While the rate of population decline in the former city has slowed in recent years, the trend reflects the migration of people out of the city and the decline in average household size. II. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION A. Citizen Particioation and the Consolidated Plan Citizen participation was an integral part of the consolidated plan. Augusta-Richmond County. afforded citizens and others an opportunity to provide input in a number of ways. Three (3) public meetings and two (2) public hearings were held in the course of developing the consolidated plan (see schedule below). The purpose of the meetings 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 year 2000 action plan. Advertisements for the hearings were placed in the Augusta Chronicle, the Augusta Focus and the Metro Courier, and were also broadcast on local radio stations. Meeting notices were also sent to the Augusta Housing Authority,' the Richmond County Department of Family and Children's Services, homeless service providers, nonprofit organizations,. neighborhood associations and other interested parties. People attending the meetings had the opportunity to receive information and to review and submit coinments on the content of the esp, including the proposed activities, amount of assistance to be received, and plans to minimize displacement or assist those displaced by activities.

The Neighborhood Needs Assessment Form (see Attachment #1) was distributed at the public meetiD.gs and through local churches, nonprofit organizations, and community centers. The form asked residents to rate the adequacy of a wide range of public facilities and services and to indicate which should be given the highest priority in spending CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. A total of eighty-four (84) forms were completed and returned to the HND Department. The results indicate that residents believe that many public facilities and services need to be improved. Below are listed the ten public facilities and services identified most often as needing improvement or non-existent. NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY FORM RESULTS - 1999. SERVICE NEEDS '.

The citizens advisory committee met nine (9) times between May and July, 1999 to discuss housing and community development needs, review funding proposals, and meet with representatives of various agencies involved in community development activities. Staff of the HND Department and the AUguSta-Richmond County Planning Commission provided the committee with background information, a summary of the needs assessment, and written evaluations of each of the funding proposals. The committee used this information to formulate a recommended strategic plan for the Augusta Commission to adopt. The City made the consolidated plan available to the public for examination and comment thirty days prior to its submission. A summary of the proposed plan was published in the AUguSta Chronicle newspaper. The summary described the content of the plan, the purpose of the submission, and included the location where copies of the plan could be examined. During the 5 thirty day examination period, the City received [ Insert comments about CSP] Once adopted, the CSP (including amendments and performance report) was made available to citizens and units of general local government to afford them a reasonable opportunity to examine its contents. B. Consultation with Other Ae:encies In April, the Housing and Neighborhood Development (HND) Department solicited input on the consolidated plan from fifty-six (56) agencies and organizations in the community. HND used a three-page survey form to obtain information on existing resources and needs in the areas of housing, the homeless, and persons with special needs (disabled, drug problems, persons with AIDS). Seventeen of the organizations returned completed copies of the form (see Table on.the following page). Another nine agencies completed a shorter survey published in local newspapers. HND staff supplemented these activities by having face-to-face meetings with representatives of seventeen of the organizations. These efforts resulted in an updated profile on each agency and additional information on the needs of their clients. The department also notified the following local governments about the development of the consolidated plan and requested input on non-housing community development needs: city of Hephzibah, city of Blythe, city of Harlem, city of Grovetown, and Columbia County..

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 25 years, are clustered in west Augusta and south Augusta. Generally speaking, the west Augusta housing market is geared to households desiring a location near employment centers in the former city and.in South Carolina. The south Augusta market is targeted to those households desiring proximity to Fort Gordon and other major employers on the south side of town. In 1990 there were 77,288 total housing units in Augusta-Richmond County, reflecting a 19% increase over the 1980 total. Census tracts in the western and southern sections of the community had the greatest increases in housing units. Fourteen census tracts had housing unit gains exceeding 20%, including six along the western edge of the county and another six located south of Butler Creek. Census tracts within the former city of Augusta registered the largest decline in housing units during the decade. The Augusta-Richmond.County Planning Commission estimates there were 83,991 total housing units in Augusta-Richmond County as of January 1, 1999. This represents a net increase of 6,703 units (8.7%) since 1990. The estimates are based on building permit data and reflect the continued growth of suburban areas. The formerly unincorporated part of the city had a net increase of 6,973 housing units between 1990 and 1998. Census tracts. in the "old" city of Augusta experienced a net loss of 270 housing units during the same period. Inner city census tracts were particularly hard hit by the demolition of dilapidated and fITe-damaged units. \ In 1990, single family site-built homes accounted for 60% of the total units in the housing stock, down froin 71% in 1980. Between 1980 and 1990, both multifamily units and mobile homes increased their share of the local housing market. Multifamily units increased from 24% to 30.7% of total units, and mobile homes rose from 3.8% to 9.3% by 1990. Of the 68,675 occupied housing units in Augusta-Richmond County in 1990, 38,762 (56.4%) were owner-occupied and 29,913 (43.6%) were renter-occupied. Significantly, rental units made up 57% of the total occupied units in the former city of Augusta. The percentage of owner occupancy increased during the 1960s and 1970s, but declined during the 1980s. Housing vacancy rates increased from 8.2% in 1980 to 11.1 % in 1990. The Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission estimates that the vacancy rate was 12.4% as of January 1, 1999. According to HUD estimates, low and moderate income families are geographically concentrated in the census tracts in and near the old city limits of Augusta. Figure 2 shows the census tracts in which at least 51 % of the total population was' classified as low and moderate income. The shaded areas on the map indicate that the low and moderate income census tracts run in a 7 southwest direction from the Savannah River toward Fort Gordon (Census Tract 108). Figure 3 shows that many of the same census tracts have a high concentration (51 % or more) of minority population, principally African-Americans. One indicator of housing conditions is the age of units. In 1960, 46% of all housing units in Augusta-Richmond County had been built prior to 1939. By 1990 only 10% of the total units had been built prior to 1939, and 82% of the units were built between 1950 and 1989. Of the 7,656 units built before 1939, 6,404 (84%) were located within the former city of Augusta. Another indicator of housing conditions is the number of units lacking complete plumbing facilities. In Augusta-Richmond County, occupied housing units lacking complete plumbing numbered 5,874 in 1960, or 16.8% of total occupied housing units. By 1990, only495 occupied' housing units (.7%) lacked complete plumbing facilities. Forty-six percent (46%), or 228 of the units lacking complete plumbing, were located in the former city of Augusta. Overcrowded housing units (1.01 + persons per room) numbered 3,114 in 1990, or 4.5% of all occupied' units in Augusta-Richmond County. Approximately one-third of the overcrowded units (1,011 units) were concentrated in the former city of Augusta The presence of lead-based paint is another issue affecting local housing. Childhood lead poisoning has been identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as "the number one environmental health hazard facing American children." Because lead-based house paint was not banned for residential and consumer use until 1978, there are housing .units in Augusta- Richmond County that contain lead-based .paint. An estimate of the number of housing units within the City that are occupied by low-income and very low-income households and that contain lead based paint hazards is shown in Chart B. The cost of housing has increased dramatically in Augusta-Richmond County over the last thirty years. The median value of an owner occupied housing unit in Richmond County increased from $8,300 in 1960 to $58,500 in 1990. In the former city of Augusta, the median value of a house increased from $7,800 in 1960 to $49,000 in 1990. DUling the same time period, median apartment rents increased from $38 to $305 in Richmond County, and from $34 to $217 in Augusta. B. 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-io-day operations of the Housing Authority and its properties. The Housing Authority currently operates and maintains fourteen (14) properties in Augusta- Richmond County. Together, these properties house approximately 6,800 people in 2,777 living units. Another 6,122 people are assisted through the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program. 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 8 other community services, and overall administration of the program. The Housing Authority was designated as a high performer by HUD's Atlanta Office for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1995. The designation reflects the Authority's high achievement in the areas of modernization, financial management, occupancy rates, 'and maintenance. c. Barriers to Affordable Housing 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. High shelter costs is a problem faced by many households in Augusta-Richmond County, and is especially prevalent among low-income renters. Census data indicate that renters have lower incomes than owner occupants, more often pay a higher share of income for. shelter, and experience substandard living conditions more frequently than owners. Households paying 30% or more of their income for housing are considered cost burdened. In 1989, 11,572 renter households, 39% of all renter households in Augusta~Richmond County, devoted 30% ormore of their income for housing costs. Approximately 62% of the cost burdened renters had less than $10,000 in household income, and 95% had less .than $20,000 in income. .An examination of comparable data for owner-occupied households indicates that 6,141, or about 18.5% of all owner households, were cost burdened. Renter households also experience substanda:rd housing conditions more frequently than owner households. Of the 409 occupied housing in Augusta- Richmond County lacking complete plumbing facilities, 268 or 65% were occupied by renters. Lower than average household income has other implications for renters desiring to become homeowners. Renters often lack the funds needed to cover downpayment. and closing costs. According to information compiled .iIi 1990 under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, insufficient funds was one of the reasons for denial of applications for FHA, VA, and FMHA home mortgage loans in the Augusta area. Credit history, employment history arid debt-to- income ratio were some of the other reasons for denial. Renters also are unable to take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction available. to. homeowners. The home mortgage' interest deduction serves to reduce the yearly tax liability of homeowners. Finally, renters need assistance in shopping for a house, selecting a Realtor, estimating the annual costs of home ownership, and completing the purchase ofa house. 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 lotsthatt:neet minimum size requirements, but existing lots may be built on without regard to their size. 9 D. Homeless and Special Needs Facilities In Augusta-Richmond County there are emergency shelters, transitional housing, permanent housing units, and supportive services that assisted an estimated 5,339 homeless individuals and families in Augusta. According to the information in Table 1 (Homeless Populations and Subpopulations), approximately 94% of the local homeless population is served in some manner by homeless service providers. Most of those are served by emergency shelters, with day shelters and transitional housing facilities serving the remainder. An estimated 6% of the homeless population is unsheltered at the present time. Eighteen percent of those who are homeless and have service needs suffer from a combination of severe mental illness and drug abuse. The agencies and organizations providing housing and services to the homeless include the Augusta Task Force for the Homeless, which consists of a group of thirty-one (31) diverse social service providers, along with the Department of Family arid Children's Services (DF ACS), the Crisis Pregnancy Center, the Community Mental Health Center, and the Augusta Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. There are four (4) emergency shelters in Augusta-Richmond County. The Salvation Army and the' Augusta Rescue Mission operate shelters . that take any adult who can get a. police clearance. The Salvation Army averages 80-120 people per night, and the Rescue Mission has a sleeping capacity of 35. These two shelters also accept children under 12 years of age when accompanied by a woman. A third shelter, Safe Homes of Augusta, Inc., serves battered women and their children. On average; SAFE Homes provides shelter to 100-150 women and 175 - 220 dependent children each year. The fourth shelter, God's Love Mission, also serves women and children. There are eleven (11) transitional housing units for homeless families with children, one unit for four AIDS clients, one unit for families with AIDS, twenty (20) beds for single males recovering from substance abuse, eight (8) beds for single females recovering from substance abuse, ten (10) beds for homeless disabled veterans, an eight (8) bed maternity horne, seven (7) crisis beds, and eight (8) transitional house beds for mentally ill adults. Agencies involved in providing transitional housing include Augusta Urban Ministries, the EOA, St. Stephen's Ministry, and the Community Mental Health Center The Crisis Pregnancy Center offers a shepherding home program to homeless pregnant women. Fifteen (15) to twenty (20) families in the community will open their homes to these women. Occasionally families are able to house a woman with a child. The Center also refers younger homeless pregnant women to two (2) maternity houses in other cities. For those women who already have children, the Center provides' fmancial counseling, introductioI}s to potential roommates, referrals to community resources, and classes dealing with budgeting, child development, and related topics. The Center also provides financial assistance to a limited number of families. 10 The only permanent supportive housing in Augusta-Richmond County for the homeless is provided at forty (40) supervised apartments for the mentally ill. The Community Mental Health Center's Supportive Living Program provides support in daily living activities, counseling, and links clients with other community resources. In addition, the Veterans Administration Hospital (Uptown Division) maintains a Homeless Chronically Mentally III Program for qualified veterans. Support services for the homeless are many and varied in the community. The Salvation Army offers a soup kitchen each evening during the week for transients. Those spending the night at the Salvation Army are able to stay for breakfast. On Sundays, the transients who accompany the residents to church are able to stay for lunch. The Salvation Army also distributes clothing vouchers to individuals and families every four months. . Each person receives a voucher for' eight (8) articles of clothing and a pair of shoes. People receive furniture and food assistance if they have been a resident of the Salvation Army and fulfilled programmatic requirements, or if they are displaced from their house because of a fire. Other services of the . Salvation Army include an adult literacy program, legal advocacy and referral through Georgia Legal Services, an emergency medical clinic maintained by students of the Medical College of Georgia, medical prescriptions through a local pharmacy, social rehabilitation services, and substance abuse counseling sessions. The EOA supports two clinics that give free health care to the homeless, provides limited transportation assistance, and funds part-time day care at the Salvation Army. In 1995, EOA assisted 553 persons at the health clinic and provided bus tickets. EOA also purchased approximately $ 20 worth of food per month from the Food Bank for homeless clients, particularly those in transitional houses. The EOA also operates a Rent Assistance Voucher Program for homeless individuals and families, not to exceed $ 200 per family per year. The EOA also operates a day shelter for homeless persons at 1730 Walker Street. The Golden Harvest Food Bank maintains a soup kitchen at 842 Fenwick Street. In addition, Catholic Social Services and Augusta Urban Ministries provide food, clothing, household goods, and other assistance to the homeless. Catholic Social Services also helps people with rent payments as long as they show an intent to follow through with some plan of action. The Richmond County Department of Family and Children Services assists homeless individuals in obtaining food stamps, welfare benefits, and information and referral services to 'homeless clients requesting their assistance. The Housing Authority also provides housing vouchers, but requires a homeless certification for priority on Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program. The In-Home Crisis Team of the Community Mental Health Center goes into homes and meets with families to prevent the disintegration of the family unit and, in many cases, to prevent homelessness. The Center also has programs to help clients adjust to living in the community in a self- sufficient manner and to minimize hospitalization. These programs teach community and support networking, independent living skills, job readiness and educational skills, vocational or prevocational training, and recreational or leisure skills. 11 E. Housine: 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 dilapidate units have been removed, the resulting vacant lots have become blighting influences on neighborhoods. The vacant lots represent opportunities for construction of new housing. 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 Augusta- Richmond County families to turn to manufactured housing and low-cost rental units as the hoUsing of choice. Some renters are paying excessive amounts of their income for shelter, and others cannot afford the downpayment 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 downpayment assistance. F. Homeless Assistance Needs Based on input 'received at, the public meetings and in funding proposals submitted by service providers, homeless assistance needs remain in the following areas : Assessment/Outreach, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Permanent Housing. Service providers need additional funds to' staff and. operate their programs, expand their services, and assist the homeless and near homeless with inimediate problems (food, transportation, medical assistance, etc.). Emergency shelters are able to handle a high percentage of the homeless population, but there is an ongoing need to expand these facilities to meet increasing demand. Additional transitional housing is needed to take some of the burden off of the emergency shelters, and to help more of the homeless take an initial step towards moving into permanent housing. Permanent supportive housing is also needed, particularly for people with mental and physical disabilities. G. Non-Housine: Community DeveloDment Needs Based on input received during the development of the CSP, 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 12 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, illY/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. Residents also said that there was a lack of knowledge about community resources already in place to help residents .deal with these problems. 13 IV. FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN A. Vision and Obiectives 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 ~xisting 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 Cen9"alBusiness 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. 14 B. Housine: 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, 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. Private resources ~clude equity, bank loans, and in-kind contributions from for-profit and nonprofit entities. It is anticipated that private and nonprofit entities will seek funding for projects under the Section 202 and Section 811 Programs in furtherance of the objectives spelled' out in the. Strategic Plan. The recommendations resulting from the recent workshop in the Laney walker neighborhood (see discussion 1.inder the Housing Strategy) suggests that other financing sources that will be tapped include FHA insured mortgages, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Georgia's housing finance agency. Homeless service providers will be encouraged to apply' for funding to provide transitional housing and rental assistance programs. It is also assumed that the Housing Authority will continue to receive Comprehensive GrantProgram (CGP) funding; and apply for Section 8 certificates and vouchers and other programs to benefit its client groups. Chart C summarizes the estimated resources available in the next five years. C. Housine: Strate~ 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. The city's five-year housing strategy involves using CDBG funds on rehabilitation, new construction, and down payment assistance activities. The strategy also includes proposals resulting from a three-day workshop (June 23-25, 1999) focusing on housing and related issues in the Laney Walker neighborhood. . The workshop brought a team of architects, financial specialists and community organizers to the neighborhood under the auspices of the Mayor's Institute of City Design. The design team toured Laney Walker and met with neighborhood residents, city officials, and local design professionals to gain insights into the relevant issues. The major recommendations on housing resulting from the workshop are iricluded in the city's housing strategy. . In addition, the city will establish an enterprise zone under the Georgia Enterprise Zone Employment Act of 1997. The enterprise zone designation is viewed as another tool for encouraging property owners to build or rehabilitate housing units.

Homeless Stratef!V The overall goal of the homeless strategy in Augusta-Richmond County is to provide a contmuum of care for the homeless by helping them obtain appropriate housing, providing them 16 with support services, and preventing those at risk from becoming homeless. The Augusta Task Force for the Homeless now has a paid staff providing the initial outreach, assessment, and referral of homeless persons. Agencies and organizations that belong to the Task Force have made great strides toward this goal. The box on the following page oulines the objectives and expected results for the next five years. HOMELESS STRATEGY & EXPECTED FIVE-YEAR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OBJECTIVE #1: Maintain the existing outreach, assessment and referral system )> Use a $300,000 grant from the state of Georgia to establish a computer data base about the local homeless population. The data base will be maintained by staff of the Augusta Task Force for the Homeless and shared with member organizations. OBJECTIVE #2: Increase the number o{housing units available to the homeless )> Add the following number of unitslbeds to the existing inventory - Emergency Shelter - 179 beds . Transitional Housing - 140 units Permanent Housing - 72 units Permanent Supportive - 15 units OBJECTIVE #3: Expand the ability of existing agencies and organizations to serve the homeless, near homeless and persons with special needs )> Provide additional ESG and CDBG funding to agencies and organizations serving the homeless, near homeless and those with special needs. E. Non - Housine: Community Develooment Stratee:v 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 fmancial 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. As outlined on the following page, the Non- 17 Housing strategy is divided into two categories: Public Facilities and Services, and Economic Development. PUBLIC FACILITIES / SERVICES STRATEGY AND EXPECTED RESULTS OBJECTIVE # I: Use a combination of CD BG and local funds to improve facilities and services in low and moderate-income neighborhoods. Emphasis will continue to be placed on a combination of improvements to sewers, streets, sidewalks and street lights in the inner city. ~ Expend $5.0 million on infrastructure improvements in the Laney Walker, Bethlehem andTurpin Hill Neighborhoods OBJECTIVE #2: Provide funds for public senior, youth, recreational, and child care facilities ~ Assist four (4) facilities OBJECTIVE 3: Provide funding to public service agencies meeting the financial, social, educational and recreational needs of seniors, disadvantaged youth, persons with disabilities, and the homeless. Funding will also be provided for.transportation, employment, crime awareness, health and substance abuse services. ~ Assist fifty agencies and organizations 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 and micro-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, fmance and accounting capabilities of small businesses. 4. Promote the preservation and restoration of historically significant structures and landmarks in the city. 18 Accessing capital through conventional sources has traditionally been difficult for small and minority businesses. The HND Department has developed loan programs that will assist these disadvantaged businesses in obtaining capital. The Augusta-Richmond County Economic Development Loan Fund (ARCEDLF) and Recaptured Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) funds are used to make loans to eligible 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. The increased business and employment opportunities will benefit the city by reducing unemployment and increasing the tax base. HND or a contracted agency may also assist small and minority businesses in locating other sources of financing. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY & EXPECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS OBJECTIVE # 1: Use the Economic Development and Recaptured UDAG .Loan Programs to provide financial assistance to small businesses creating jobs for low and moderate-income persons. . Make twenty (20) loans . Create forty (40) jobs OBJECTIVE #2: Contract with a nonprofit organization to provide training workshops on business management to existing and potential small businesses owners. . Provide twenty-four (24) workshops and assist approximately twenty (20) small business owners OBJECTIVE #3: Use tax increment fmancing to fund economic development projects. . Create a tax increment fmancing district OBJECTIVE #4: Use the Fa9ade Rehabilitation Grant Program as an incentive to renovate and reuse historic commercial structures. . Provide fifteen (15) fa9ade grants 19 AUGUSTA-RICHMOND COUNTY CONSOLIDATED PLAN; 2000 ACTION PLAN A. Introduction and Executive Summarv' During the Year 2000 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 HND 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, . Housing Programs, Historic Preservation, Economic Development, Repayment of Section 108 Loan, 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 2000 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 2000 Action Plan activities is shown on the census tract and neighborhood maps labeled Figures 4 through 10. Figures 4 through 6 show the locations of CDBG-funded activities. Figure 7 shows the location of CDBG,.HOME, ESG, and Public Housing Authority (pHA) projects. Figures 8 through 10 show.the location of all . activities in relation to concentrations of low and moderate-income persons, minorities, and the unemployed. The maps indicate that almost all of the activities (CDBG, HOME, ESG, & PHA) included in the 2000 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, 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 impo~t 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. The neighborhoods include Albion Acres, Bethlehem, Harrisburg, Laney-Walker, May Park, Old Town, Sand Hills, Turpin Hill and West End. 20 B. Federal and Other Resources In 2000, Augusta-Richmond County will use both Federal and nonfederal public and private resources to address the priority needs and objectives identified in the strategic plan. Federal resources to be spent in 2000 include $3.089 million in CDBG funds, $1.329 million in HOME funds, and $101,000 in ESG funds. Other resources to be used include in-kind contributions from several nonprofits, to match the ESG funds, and in-kind contributions from the Augusta Housing Authority and other agencies. It is unclear at this time what private.resources (e.g. equity, bank. loans) will be committed during the 2000 program year. Private funds are most likely to be committed to new housing construction. It is anticipated that private and nonprofit entities will . seek funding.for projects under the Section 202 and Section 811.programs in. furtherance of the objectives spelled out in the consolidated plan. Homeless service providers will be encouraged to apply for funding to provide transitional housing and rental assistance programs. It is also assumed that the Housing Authority will continue to receive Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) funding, and apply for Section 8 certificates and vouchers and other. programs to benefit its client groups.

Public Housin!!: Initiatives The HUD-funded Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program provides rent subsidy to very low-income residents so that they do not pay more than 30% of their income for rent and utilities. Families must qualify through the same income adjustment criteria as used for public housing and are given certificates or vouchers to apply toward their rent. Certificates are based on the fair market value of rental property. There are more than 2,300 low-income individuals and/or families in the Section 8 program and approximately 4,000 have been placed on a waiting list. Priority is given to the homeless, those living in substandard housing, and those paying more..than half of their income .for rent and utilities. No specific geographical area. of-the City will be targeted for rental assistance. Service delivery and management will be .provided by the Augusta Housing Authority. Augusta-Richmond County will work with the Augusta Housing Authority and nonprofit housing providers to identify public housing tenants who are interested in moving into new or rehabilitated housing assisted through the CDBG and HOME Programs. The Housing Authority also will continue to receive funds under HUD's Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP). According to the CGP Action Plan, the Housing Authority expects to receive approximately. $4.4 million each year' between 1997 and the year 2000. .The .funds. will be used for a combination of physical improvements, management improvements, and administrative costs affecting Authority-owned properties. Jennings Homes on Olive Road will be the focus of physical improvements in FY 1999. Jennings is the focus of an extensive modernization project that started in FY 1998 and is likely to require additional CGP funding in FY 2000. The majority of management improvement funds will pay for additional police' officers to patrol Authority- owned properties. M. Other Actions and Protrram Requirements 1. Prol!Tam Income - CDBG program income will be spent only on eligible activities that help implement the Action Plan. 2. Income From Float-Funded Activities - Float-funded activities are any activities which Augusta-Richmond County funds through the .use of a "float"; which is .the amount :of Augusta-Richmond County's CDBG funds budgeted for one or more activities that do not need the funds immediately. Float-funded activities are undertaken with the expectation that they will generate sufficient program income to allow for completion of the projects originally budgeted to receive the funds. No funds are expected to be received from float- funded activities included in the 2000 Action Plan, and no funds are expected to be received during the program year from a fl~at-funded activity described in a prior statement or plan. 3. Ur!!:ent Needs Activitv - No urgent needs activities are included in the 2000 Action Plan. 4. Surolus Urban Renewal Funds - There are no surplus CDBG funds from any urban renewal settlement for community development and housing activities, and no CDBG grant 26 funds returned to the line of credit for which the planned use has not been included in a subsequent statement or plan. 5. Plan to Reduce Barriers to Affordable Housing: - The City will follow all of the affirmative marketing, minority and women business outreach requirements as defmed in 24 CFR 92.350 and 92.351, respectively. The City has conducted a Fair-Housing Study and will integrate the information from that study as well. 6. Antipoverty Strate!!V - People living in poverty often have needs for such basics as food, clothing, shelter and health care. They also need remedial education, job training and placement, life skills training, substance abuse treatment and other social services. The city of Augusta's anti-poverty strategy is to increase economic development,. job training and placement, affordable housing, and the availability of basic human services. .These elements will create an overall environment for individual self-sufficiency and economic independence. The principal components of the anti-poverty strategy include the following: . Facilitate increased coordination among nonprofit organizations serving people in poverty . . Support grant applications by nonprofit and for-profit organizations serving people in poverty . . Continue to meet the needs of those in' poverty through such programs as rental assistance,. housing rehabilitation, family self-sufficiency, supportive' housing, Job Training Partnership Act, Job Connection, Welfare to Work, homeownership, housing counseling and credit counseling. 7. Plans to Reduce Lead-Based Paint- It is estimated that approximately 1O~000 structures in Augusta-Richmond County contain lead-based paint. The city's strategy for addressing lead- based paint in CnBO and HOME projects includes educating household members, incorporating HUD's lead-based paint regulations in all contracts, and requiring the abatement of lead-based paint in commercial buildings. . Residential Rehabilitation Projects -Property owners are provided with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's pamphlet titled "Protect Y our Family from. Lead in Your Home. " They also certify that the' residence does not contain lead, no one living in the home has 'ever been tested and found to have an elevated .blood lead level, and the residence has never been cited for the presence of lead..based paint. . Housing Program Contractors - Contractors are not permitted to use paint containing more than 0.006 percent lead by weight in the total nonvolatile conte~t of liquid paints, or in the dried film, of paint already applied on all interior surfaces, and on exterior surfaces accessible to children under 7 years of age. . Fayade Rehabilitation Progfam -::- All commercial structures assisted under the program must be tested for lead-based paint. If the test results are positiye, property owners must agree to abate the lead-based paint as part of the project. This is required before grants are approved. 27 . Lead-Based Paint Abatement Grants - The Housing and Neighborhood Development Department intends to apply for abatement grant fuds when the next Super NOF A is issued. . Augusta Housing Authority - The Housing Authority tests for lead-based paint in all units undergoing modernization. If lead-based paint is found, steps are taken to have painted surfaces treated or abated in accordance with HUD requirements. 8. Institutional Structure and Coordination of Efforts - The institutional structure is in place to implement the Action Plan. As previously mentioned, the HND 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 HND Department also will continue to conduct monitoring reviews of all 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. 28 SUMMARY OF YEAR 2000 COBG PROJECTS Name of Facility or Program Type of Facility, Program, Accomplishments National local Priority of or Service or Persons Served Objective Objective Need Friendship Community Center Adult Day Care Facility 274 Persons Low/Mod Benefit #4 High Hale House Transitional Housing 40 Persons low/Mod Benefit #4 High 100 Black Men of Augusta Youth Services 150 Youth low/Mod Benefit #4 High Able-Disabled, Inc.
