I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of Consolidated Plan
The Augusta'-Richmond County C<?nsolidated 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 2005-2009, and a description of the projects to be
implemented during the ~005 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
~evelopment activities at the local level, 'to promote citizen participation, and to simplify the
process for obtaining federal funds under HUD programs.
B. 'Lead A2enCy.
The Augusta Housing and Economic Development Department (AHEDD) 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
community development programs. As a result, the department has well-established relationships
with neighborhood gtoups, nonprofit organizati,ons, financial institutions, developers, and social
service agencies involved in community development.
The department has a staff of twenty, and is divided into three divisions: Housing Programs,
Community Development and Economic Development. The Housing Programs Division
coordinates CDBG and HOME-financed housing rehabilitation and new construction projects,
and offers down payment assistance to low-income first-time homebuyers. The division is also
, administering 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
Community Development Division is concerned with public improvements, development, and
public and nonprofit service delivery affecting low and moderate-income areas, It also manages
projects funded under the Emergency Shelter Grant Program. The Economic Development
Division provides assistance to businesses and promotes economic revitalization. The division
works with other economic development organizations and associations to attract new businesses
and employment to Augusta-Richmond County.

C. Background on Augusta
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 th~ 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,

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.

In 2000, Augusta-Richmond County's population was 50 percent Black, 45 percent White, 0.3
percent American Indian/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.

In the same older areas of the city where population has declined over the past two decades, the
percent of non-White population has increased. In 1990, 14 census tracts were 50 percent or
more non-White. As seen in the following map, by 2000, the population in 21 census tracts was
50 percent or more non-White.

Augusta and Richmond County continue to reflect the age characteristics of a relatively mature
community. The following table includes information on age structure in the county. The school
age population 5-17 years old comprises approximately 20% of the population. Those elderly
(65 and over) account for another 11% of the population. The county's median age rose from
30.3 in 1990 to 32.3 in the year 2000.

Median household income and per capita income are indicators of the buying power of residents
in a community. 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 following map shows median household income as a percentage of the citywide median
income of each of the forty census tracts. The map indicates that low-income census tracts - those
tracts have median incomes that are less than $26,378, which is 80 percent of Augusta-Richmond
County's median income - stretch in a southwest direction from downtown and its adjacent
, tracts. Census Tracts 4, 8, 7, 9, 14, and 15 each have median incomes of less than $16,486 (50
percent of Augusta-Richmond County's median income). All of these census tracts except tract 4
are majority non-White. Similarly, all of these tracts except for 4 and 14 lost population between
1990 and 2000.

H. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
A. Citizen Participation 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. One (1) public
hearing and three (3) public meetings 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 2005 Action Plan. Advertisements for the
hearings were placed in local newspapers and were also broadcast on local radio and TV 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, Community Housing and Development Organizations
(CHDOs) and other interested parties. People attending the meetings had the opportunity to
receive information and to review and submit comments on the content of the CSP, including the
'proposed activities, amount of assistance to be received, and plans to minimize displacement or
assist those displaced by activities.

Residents were also given an opportunity to provide written comments on housing and
community development needs. 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 eighty-four (84) forms were completed
and returned to AHEDD by citizens, The following table indicates that housing rehabilitation,
sidewalk improvements, drainage improvements, senior centers and community centers were the

As part of the citizen participation process, the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for the
Augusta Housing and Economic Development provided input on the strategic plan, and made
written recommendations to the Augusta Commission on CDBG, HOME, ESG and R-UDAG
funding for the year 2005, The CAC held two meetings (June 29 and 30, 2004) to discuss
housing and community development needs, review ,funding proposals, and meet with
representatives of various agencies involved in community development activities. AHEDD staff
provided the committee with background information, a summary of the needs assessment, and
9
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 Proposed Action Plan available to the publi~ for the required 30-day review
by publishing 'a notice in' the Augusta Chronicle, Augusta Focus and the Metro Courier
'newspapers. The deadline for public comment was December 23, 2004. . As a result, the City
received comments from two (2) housing agencies Promise Land Community Development
Corporation and East Augusta Community Development Corporation (comments attached in
Section XI.) The comments were submitted to Commission for consideration. Below is a listing
of the comments on the Proposed Plan and the Commission actions:

B. . Consultation with Other Ae:encies
In March-April 200.4, the Augusta Housing and Economic Development Department (AHEDD)
solicited input on the consolidated plan from service agencies and organizations in the
community. A total of 40. agencies completed the survey, providing an updated profile of their
services and the needs of their clients. The table below summarizes. the needs of the homeless,
low-income households, and special needs populations as identified by the service agencies. The
department also notified the following local governments about the development of the
consolidated plan and solicited input on non-housing community development needs from all the
cities, towns and counties in the metropolitan area. Burke County, the city of Waynesboro and
the Town of Edgefield, South Carolina responded to the request for input.

HI.. HOUSING AND HOMELESS NEEDS ASSESSMENT
A. . . 'General Characteristics ofHousin2 Market
The housing ,market in Augusta-Richmond County reflects historic de~elopment patterns in the,
_ community. Older single-family and duplex units are,coricentrated in the neighborhoods of the
former city of Augusta. Conventional subdivisions, with units ina 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 ~ichmond County incre~sed 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 isa 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.

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
12
south and west aiso 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 continl,les 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 builtin Augusta. In addition, the aging
of the population and growth in "empty-nester" and one-person households has increased the
, demand for attached and semi-detached 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. TheJollowing table lists the number of units by type of structure for 1990 and 2000.

Currently 58% of the occupied housing units are owner-occupied, 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 marker 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 per~entage of renter-
occupied units up. The table belo\;V summarizes current housing tenure in Richmond County and

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. Table 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 llist 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
'of the city.
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 of the 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 15
- 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 bdow 80' percent of the county's median income - meanIng the majority of the
households are low-income. .

The cost of housing in Augusta, both owner and renter, has increased steadily over the decades.
Even with the increase, the cost of housing remains lower than regional and state levels and
contributes to the area's lower than average cost of living index, The median value of an owner..'
'occupied housing unit in Augusta and Richmond County was $76,800 in the year 2000, up from
$58,500. (Richmond County) in 1990. Almost 38% of the owner units were in the $60,000 to

B. Public and Assisted Housing Facilities
The Housing Authority of Augusta and Richmond County is the designated Local Public
Housing Agency (PHA). Established in 1937, The Housing Authority is governed by a five-
, '
. member Board of Commissioners appointed by the local government. An Executive Director and
staff of employees oversee the day-to-day operations of the Housing Authority and its properties.
The Housing Authority currently operates and maintains fourteen (14) properties in Augusta-
Richmond County. Together, these properties house 6,369 people in 2,766 living units. In
addition, the PHA administers another 3,476 units' under the Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payment Program located on scattered sites throughout the city. The chart below profiles the 14
public housing communities in Augusta,. showing occupancy, average monthly rent, the year
built, and year most recently modernized.
Augusta Housing Authority residents have had a voice in management of AHA properties for a
number of years. The Resident Advisory Board meets monthly and consists of approximately 60
residents. The board provides feedback to AHA management on all quality of life issues
(security, maintenance and repairs, etc.), is involved in preparing grant applications, and makes
recommendations regarding the AHA annual and five-year plans.
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
17
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.

Fair Housin~ Study, April 2003
C. Barriers to Affordable Housin2
In April 2003 the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Study was completed for Augusta-
Richmond County by TONY A, Incorporated. The TONY A report updated a similar study
completed by Metro Fair Housing Services, Inc. in 1995. The report indicat~d 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.
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.
19
...",.,,~... . -...
tI
If a household occupies a unit that lacks a complete kitchen or bathroom, the unit has a
, physical defect.
c
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 proble:rn; ~8 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 ina 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 TONY A report also used 2000 Census data and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
(HMDA) data for the years 1997 through 2001 to develop a profile of mortgage lending activity
in Augusta. Nearly 60 percent of loan applicants are white, while Augusta's population is 50
percent black. Fifteen percent of these applications come from those in the lowest income range
(earning less than 50 percent of the area's median) and another 27.5 percent come from those
earning less than 80, percent. Thus, nearly forty-three percent come from the lowest income
ranges, while 32 percent come from the area's wealthiest households (over 120 percent)., Of the
loans originated, 40.8 percent go to applicants earning more than 120 percent of the area's
median income. Another 33.8 percent go to low- and moderate-income applicants.
Applications for refinancing are still the most popular, although about 33.5 percent of these
applications are denied. A higher percentage of applications from white borrowers are denied
than from black borrowers (21.4 versus 16.2 percent); however, the large number of applicants
who did not report their race prevents an accurate evaluation on this point.
Of all those who apply, the chief reason for denial is credit history (Figures 7, 9, 10). Still, denial
for this reason is more frequent for black applicants than white (52.9 percent and 47.3 percent,
respectively), The second most common reason for denials, debt-to-income, is applied nearly
equally to black and white applicants (20.7 and 20.3 percent, respectively).

D. ,Homeless and Special Needs Facilities
The City supports and participates in the work of the Augusta Task Force for the Homeless
(ATFH). The ATFH is the lead agency in implementing the community's homeless assistance
strategy. The ATFH is a coalition of more than 50 agencies that provide housing and services to
the homeless. The ATFH is located at 730 East Boundary in Augusta and provides intakeand
referral services to the homeless,' distributes information, coordinates communications among
service providers, and provides administrative support to service providers.
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 ATFH
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 A TFH.
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
AHEDD utilize 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. The tables on the following pages identify 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 in 2003 and 2004.
Overall, the tables show that the number of emergency shelter beds decreased between 2003 ,and
2004, the number of transitional beds increased, and the first group of permanent supportive beds
in the community were added to the inventory.

In addition to shelter, the fundamental components of Augusta's Continuum of Care (CoC)
system include prevention, outreach, assessment and supportive services for the homeless and
, those at-risk of becoming homeless. 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'ofoutreach 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 mariagement system
maintained by ATFH. 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. '
E. Housin1! 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 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
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
25
indicators of the need for the construction of more affordable housing, and the provision of more
rental subsidies and down payment assistance.
F. 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 f?r 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-homeless special needs populations 'include the elderly, frail elderly, persons with
disabilities, persons with alcohoL or other drug addictions and persons with HIV / AIDS and their
families. These special populations have needs for housing and supportive services that vary
depending on such factors as the type of frailty or disability, nature and extent of addiction or
illness and ability to function independently.

H. Non-Housin2 Community Development 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
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 pr~gnancy, substance abuse, mY/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. To address this concern, the department has selected six (6) communities (Bethlehem,
Laney Walker, Hyde Park, Aragon Park, Rocky Creek/Dover Street and Harrisburg) which will
serve as "Project Areas" designed to receive the full services of the department. The department
27
:,~~;,~~!~~;.:~~;.:.,- ,:
has pledged to work with each of the selected community/neighborhood organizations towards
designing and implementing revitalization projects and initiatives.
,][. 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
existto help these groups secure transitional housing. and related services.
The relative priority of housing needs, as summarized in Table 2A, Priority Housin~ Needs, is
based on the housing market analysis in, Section ill 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
providing assistance to extremely low-income renters (small related, large related and elderly)
and owners. 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, groups non-housing community development needs
under the following 'categories: public facilities, infrastructure, public services, anti-crime, youth
programs, senior programs, economic development' and pl~nning. 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.

:u:v.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 pl~ces 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 plaiming, 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.

.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, HOPW A 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.
Private resources include equity, bank l~ans, and in-kind contributions from for-profit and
nonprofit entities. It is anticipated that that the city of Augusta will make use of the Section ~08
Loan Guarantee Program and 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. Examples of 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. State ESG funds awarded to three (3) agencies totaling $695,493 will be
available for use (Augusta Task Force for the Homeless - $339,124, Goodwill Industries of
Middle Georgia & CSRA - $293,508, and Hope House for Women - $62,861). The Augusta
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.
B. 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:
e Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy - In July 2003 the Augusta Commission adopted
the Target Area Master Plan. The plan is a revitalization strategy and redevelopment
plan for an area compassing the following neighborhoods: Laney-Walker, Bethtehem,
Turpin Hill and part of Uptown. The overall goal of the plan "is to create a sustainable,
economically diverse neighborhood that contains housing, jobs, and educational and
workforce development opportunities". The revitalization strategy.seeks to achieve the
overall goal as stated by implementing a series of projects in the target area in
cooperation with non-profit organizations and several major institutions - the Medical,
College of Georgia, Paine College, the Augusta Housing Authority, the Richmond
County Board of Education, and the MCG Foundation. The City is acting as a facilitator
in the development process, bringing stakeholders together on a regular basis to review
the status of projects, identify problems and issues, and develop solutions that keep
projects on track, Also, this master plan is the foundation for desi.~nating four (4)
revitalization districts.
30
~~.;::. :~:'.~
Revitalization Districts - On December 7, 2004, the Augusta Commission adopted a
Revitalization District Ordinance using authority granted by the Georgia Redevelopment
Powers Law (O.C.G.A.36-44-1 et seq.). This ordinance established the first district
"Inner Urban District" an area comprised of Bethlehem, Laney Walker, Hanisburg and
Turpin Hill neighborhoods. This first district is contiguous to the area cited'as the Target
Area Redevelopment M~ster Plan and contains a 20-block special demonstration project
area in the Laney-Walker neighborhood. Approval of this ordinance will facilitate the
designation of distressed neighborhoods throughout the city as revitalization districts. The
districts would be the focus of a coordinated effort to eliminate blight, improve housing
conditions, expand economic opportunity and deliver public services. Four (4) more
districts are being considered for designation in Year 2005.
e, Augusta Housing Trust Fund (FUND) - The Augusta Housing Trust Fund was created
by the Augusta Commission in 2004 and will provide support for the preservation,
rehabilitation and production of affordable housing in Augusta, especially for low-income
households. The FUND will assist efforts to increase homeownership among those of
lower income, with a focus on creating sustainable, economically diverse communities
that have jobs educational opportunities as well as decent housing. The FUND was
initially granted $100,000 for start-up capital and will seek a dedicated revenue source so
'that it may reach $5-7' million over the first 5 to 8 years. Assistance policies and
procedures will be determined by an appointed board of trustees.
G Georgia Energy Star Conservation Program - Purpose of the Energy Star concept is to
incorporate energy efficiency methods into rehabilitation and new construction
homebuilding projects to ensure that housing improvements are energy efficient, durable,
sustainable and healthy, Projects based on Energy Star@ specifications will lower utility
. costs. AHEDD will pursue training and certification for developers and Community
Housing Development Organizations to participate in this program.
C. Housin2: Strate2:V
. 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 baniers to living in affordable, standard housing.
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
31
.,.;" ....
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
HEDDepartment, the Augusta Housing Authority, developers, .private lenders, CHDOs and other
nonprofit housing finance organizations are among the entities that will implement the housing
strategy. The following table summarizes the proposed five-year accomplishments by income
category.

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, 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 business~s. The RED 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. RED or a contracted agency may also assist small. and minority
businesses in locating other sources of financing,

2005 ACTION PLAN ,"
V. AUGUSTA-RICHMOND COUNTY CONSOLIDATED PLAN -,2005 ACTION PLAN
A. INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the Year 2005 Augusta-Richmond County will implement a variety of activities designed
to address the priority housing and corrimunity development needs outlined in the consolidated
plan. Some projects will be implemented by the BED 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 2005 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 2005 Action Plan activities is shown on the maps
labeled Figures 4 through '9. Figures 4 through 7 show the locations of CDBG, HOME, 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 (see Figures 8 and 9).
The maps indicate that almost all of the activities (CDBG, HOME, ESG, & PHA) included in the
2005 Action Plan are targeted to the census tracts with the highest cOlicentrations 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:-fundedprojects. 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.
37
B. FEDERAL AND OTHER RESOURCES
Augusta will use both Federal and nonfederal public and private resources to address the priority
needs and objectives identified in the Action Plan. Federal resources to be spent in 2005 are
summarized in the following table. Other resources to be used include Special Purpose Local
Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds, in-kind contributions from several nonprofits to match the
ESG funds, Augusta Housing Authority funds, and in-kind contributions from the Augusta '
Housing Authority and other agencies. It is anticipated that additional resources will be
committed to HOPW A-related activities.

the program year. Private funds are most likely to be committed to new housing construction and
economic development. It is anticipated that private and nonprofit entities will seek funding and /
or tax. credits for projects in furtherance of the objectives spelled out in the consolidated plan.
Homeless service providers will apply'for funding under the Continuum of Care Program, It is
also assumed that the Housing Authority will continue to receive Capital Fund Program (CFP)

M. Public Housine 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 deii very and management will be provided by the Augusta
Housing Authority. Augusta-Richmond County will work with the Augusta Housing Authority
49
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). The funds will be used for a combination of physical improvements,
management improvements, and administrative costs affecting Authority-owned properties.
N. Other Actions and Proe:ramReQuirements
1. Proe:ram 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 fr<?m float-
funded activities included in the 2005 Action Plan, and no funds are expected to be
received during the program year from a float-funded _activity described in a prior
statement or plan,
3. Ure:ent Needs Activitv - No urgent needs activities are included in the 2005 Action Plan.
4. Surplus Urban Renewal Funds - There are no surplus CDBG funds from any urban
renewal settlement for community development and ,housing activities, and no CDBG
grant 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 Housine- The City will continue to reduce the
barriers to affordable housing by carrying out the following types of activities:
$ Work with local regulatory agencies (License and Inspection Department, Board of
Zoning Appeals and Planning Commission) to increase the supply of affordable housing
by either waiving or modifying rules (e.g. minimum lot size requirements, minimum
setbacks, building codes) that otherwise increase the cost of housing,
e Work with developers whose objective i's to build affordable housing
e ,Print and distribute information relative to Fair Housing laws and rules
e . Refer individuals and families to the appropriate agencies when Fair Housing complaints
are made
50
. "
o Work with area lenders to make construction loans and permanent financing available for
affordable housing
o Follow all of the affirmative marketing, minority and women business outreach
requirements as defined in 24 CFR 92.350 and 92.351, respectively.
6. Anti"'Povertv Strategy - According to the 2000 Census, 37,313 Augusta-Richmond
County residents live in poverty. This figure represents 19.6% of the city's popul~tion.
Young families especially female-headed, households with children are particularly
affected by poverty. This specific segment of the population with one or more children is
growing, The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (T ANF) Program, because of
work mandates has forced more people into the workforce in low-paying jobs. The most
expensive items families must provide for are housing and utilitY costs, child care and
. transportation. In addition, low":income seniors have an exact burden to cope with in
regards to medical costs.
The City's anti-poveI1Y strategy is based on reducing the high cost of basic human needs,
increase basic income and provide supportive services to assist in filling the gaps.
Anti-Poverty priorities:
,,' Develop an effective continuum of care for the homeless and those at greatest risk of
becoming homeless.
o Engage in construction and rehabilitation Of safe, decent affordable housing and/or
homebuyer assistance programs.
o Provide transitional housing and self-sufficiency training for homeless families.
ell Create job opportunities and training opportunities for low-income families through
economic development incentives to local businesses and newly locating industries.
e Provide day care services for children to allow parent)s) to work and/or take advantage of
educational opportunities.
o Promote community education programs such as preparation for a General Equivalency
Diploma (GED) through the local public school system, community colleges and other
social service agencies.
e Support a transportation network between 'housing, jobs and educational/training'
facilities, especially for special needs populations.
" Support provisions of free or low cost medical/dental care for those in need.
. . Assist in assuring that appropriate referrals are made for those persons requiring services
from agencies that provide health, mental health and other services.
e Support non-profits involved in assisting persons in poverty by providing funds for food,
clothing, housing and jobs,

7. Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Strategy
The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 focuses on the reduction of
hazards, risk assessment, and prevention to reduce the effects of lead-based paint hazards on
children: Elevated blood 'lead levels in children can cause damage to the brain and nervous
system, effect intelligence, slow growth, cause learning disabilities and even lead to death. A
major cause of lead poisoning is from lead based paint in residential buildings, ,Based on the
City's review of the housing stock, approximately 50% of the housing units may contain lead-
based paint.
The City's actions to evaluate and reduce Lead-Based Paint hazards is .outlined below and
" incorporated into the following programs; single-family rehabilitation program, first-time home
buyer program and, Community Housing Development Organization housing projects. To meet
the requirements of the Act which took effect on September 15, 2000, the City has incorporated
lead-based paint reduction policies into these housing programs to address the following areas of
,concern:
· Hazards
"Hazard" means any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead-contaminated dust, soil, or
'paint that is deteriorated or present in accessible or friction surfaces. Contaminated dust is
considered the most common pathway of childhood exposure to lead. Lead-based paint hazards
to not include intact lead-based paint which is not on a chewable, impact or friction surface.
'" 'Risk Assessment and Interim Controls
Risk assessment requires on-site analysis to deterrriine existence, nature, severity, and location of
lead hazards. Interim controls are put into place and focus on measures that reduce human
exposure to contaminated dustassociated with the presence of lead-based paint.
III 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.
rI Preventionffreatment
, 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,
52
Cateeory Reauired Activities
Notification All bf the following apply:
II Pamphlet

II Paint Stabilization
II Interim Controls
II Abatement
The following always apply:
II Safe work Practices
II Clearance
Ongoing Maintenance This requirement may apply:
II Inspect and maintain lead hazard reduction work
$ Notification
The major objective is to increase the overall level of awareness of lead-based paint laws and
regulations so that all community residents may be aware of their rights and responsibilities. In
the event the presence of lead-based paint is detected in a housing unit, notifications will be
carried.out by the following mandated notification requirements established by HUD:
Pamphlet - Occupants, owners ,and purchasers must all receive Lead Hazard Information
Pamphlet.
Disclosure - Ensure that property owners have provided purchasers and lessees with available
information or knowledge regarding the presence of lead-based paint and lead-based paint
hazards prior to selling or leasing a residence. Even if federal funds are withdrawn from a
transaction, the purchasers are required to receive a disclosure of any known lead-based paint
findings.
Notice of Lead Hazard Presumption/Evaluation and Lead Hazard Reduction - Occupants,
owners and purchasers must be notified of the results of the presumption of lead-based paint or
lead hazards or of any lead hazard evaluation or reduction work.
53
o Lead Hazard Evaluation and Reduction
The Lead, Based Paint, regulations affect all of the City's housing programs. that use HUD
funding. One of the City's housing inspectors is trained and certified as a Lead Paint Risk
Assessor. An EP A laboratory is used for testing of samples taken during inspections.
In addressing lead hazard evalua!ion, 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 stabiiization, interim controls, standard treatments, or abatement depending on the
requirements for the activity type~ City will ensure that all lead hazard reduction or'rehabilitation
work that disturbs painted surfaces known or assumed to contain lead-based paint will be
completed using safe work practices as outlined in the regulations. Clearance testing will then be
performed by the Lead Paint Risk Assessor to ensure that there is no evidence of lead-based paint
hazards when all work is complete.
The table below summarizes the level of lead-based paint hazard evaluation and, reduction,
required by the activity type and level of federal assistance provided. The City will utilize this
table in order to conform to the lead regulations when carrying out its housing program activities
that utilize federal funds.

Ongoing Maintenance
. '
In activities where the, assistance provided requires an ongoing relationship with a property,
generally HOME rental programs, the owners must perform ongoing maintenance to ensure.that
lead hazard reduction measures are maintained.
. -
Safe work practices will be used when all subsequent maintenance or renovation work is
performed where lead-based paint may be present. Clearance testing will also be completed
when any repairs, interim controls, or abatement work is completed as part of ongoing
maintenance. The City will also keep maintenance records on each property that will include
information on inspections, repairs and any other lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities,
These records will be kept for a minimum of five years.
Ii LBP Rehabilitation Implementation
Compliance with LBP guidelines. will involve specific steps in the rehabilitation process. An
example of the typ~s of the steps involved in lead hazard evaluation and reduction/abatement are
listed below:
Property Inspection and Rehabilitation Planning
1. Determine level of hazard evaluation and reduction required.
2. Risk assessor schedules lead evaluation.
3. Risk assessor performs paint testing and/or risk assessment.
, 4. Provide notice of evaluation.
S, Lead work specification work written by Senior Inspector.
6. Determine relocation needs.
Contractor Selection
1. Check qualifications of lead contractors.
2. Discuss work schedule with contractors/owners,
3. Discuss safe work practices with contractor/owner..
Supervising Rehabilitation
1. Ensure' interim controls and abatement are supervised by a certified Abatement
Supervisor.
2. ,Verify quality of lead hazard reduction work.
3. Ensure that safe work practices are used by trained works.
4. Ensure work site preparation and worker protection.

Final Inspection and Clearance'
1. Check that work is complete and clean up is adequate.
2. Risk As.sessor issues clearance report.
3. Re-clean and repeat clearance when necessary.,
4. Provide lead hazard reduction notice.
5. Provide abatement or clearance report..
6, Ongoing maintenance and monitoring.
The new LBP regulations do not affect the types of housing listed below:
CI
Housing built since January 1, 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use.
III
Housing exclusively for the elderly or people with disabilities, unless a child under age 6
is expected to reside there. '
EI
Zero-bedroom dwellings,- including efficiency apartments, single-room occupancy
housing, dormitories, or military barracks.
IJ
Property that has been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified lead-based paint
inspector.
II
Property where all LBP has been removed,
a
Unoccupied housing that will remain vacant until it is demolished.
EI
Non-residential property.
D
Any rehabilitation or housing improvement that does not contain evidence of
deteriorating paint and will not disturb a painted surface.
8. Institutional Structure and Coordinaiion of Efforts - The institutional structure is in
place to implement the Action Plan. As previously mentioned, the BED 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 RUD'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 BED 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
56
..,-
''';.P;.'.:'. . ..c;,;,::~;..
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 arid
debris in the streets and on vacant lots, the dilapidated condition of housing units, and
erivironmentill 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 tip or expanding businesses in low income
neighborhoods, and in providing job training for low income residents.

Mrs. Rose White
Augusta HouSing and Economic Dev. Department
925 Laney Walker Blvd., 2nd Floor
_ Augusta, Ga. 30901
Dear Mrs. White:
Below are our concerns regarding the proposed 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan and Year
2005 Action Plan. .
1. East Augusta Commons is a tax credit property, however it is not listed on page
17, "Low Income Housing Tax Credit Properties".
2. According to information on page 30, pa"ragraph 2, '~ew construction will take
place :81 locationS in inner city neighborhoods where units have been demolished
and/or where vacant lots are located". This statement appears to be in direct'
conflict with previous mandates of AHEDDthat "infill strategies will not be
allowed", .
3. On Page 42, item #2 "Other Special Project Initiatives", why are you including
initiatives tluit have not been'approved by commission to create, i.e. Augusta
Renovation Works? These funds, since no approval has been given, should be
earmarked elsewhere.
4. On page 43, item #4 regarding CHDO' s, why isn't Laney-Walker included as a
CHDO? Why is ANlC included as a CHDO? Will ANIC be entitled to the 20%
set aside and 5% operating? .
5. Under the HOME program, item #4 CHDO's, why isn't there a more descriptive
narrative regarding CHDO's and the role that they play in Augusta's Housing
strategies and initiative. This paragraph is rather weak compared to other projects
listed.
