Introduction This Annual Action Plan for the City of Pearland covers Program Year (PY) 2019, which is the City's fiscal year 2020 (October 1, 2019—September 30, 2020). CDBG funding in Pearland will be expended to meet one or more of the 3 National Objectives: 1. Benefiting low-to moderate-income persons; 2. Preventing, reducing or eliminating slum and blight; or 3. Meeting an urgent community development need as a result of a disaster or other event. During the next year,the City expects to focus its CDBG entitlement funds on improving the quality of life for those low- to moderate-income households throughout the City and in City neighborhoods with 41.77%or more low-to moderate-income households—those households with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income—based on the City's Exception Criteria status for the applicable program year. This percentage has changed over the years, and represents an increase of 0.84%over last year.The map below shows the location of the CDBG area-benefit neighborhoods.

' Map 1—City of Pearland with CDBG Areas Eligible for Area-wide Benefit As a result of the changes to the City's Exception Criteria,the configuration of the City's CDBG Target Area boundaries has adjusted, removing an important program activity area from Pearland's ability to serve low-moderate income households with area-benefit projects. Nonetheless, the City will continue to see its Old Townsite community as one that can be improved with local CDBG funds, and the planned implementation of Pearland's priorities will generally be unaffected by this change. The quality of local community-based facilities and public service agencies is critical for the future of our ability to serve low-moderate income households,so Pearland will focus most of its PY 2019 resources on facility improvements for charitable organizations that support these efforts. Social/public service activities will involve continuing investments in the high-priority efforts involving as the growing importance of mental health services for uninsured and/or low income individuals/households.As a result of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, local secondary school students are facing a number of adjustments where their family's housing conditions are concerned, as there is an increase in situational homelessness in the demography of Pearland schools that is slowly being remediated. Unfortunately, the mental and emotional impacts of the disaster linger, and the ongoing investments in mental health support will continue. Professional development in program administration activities will be critical for PY 2019, as there are a number of important regulatory, policy and procedures and program best practices that need to be implemented into the City's oversight and management of the program. The City's Finance Department, specifically employees involved in accounting and procurement/purchasing, will participate in training and professional development activities pertaining to federally-funded programs. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The City's 5-year Consolidated Plan was submitted in PY 2017, providing objectives and outcomes through the HUD 2021. Broad objectives continue to include the following, which remain to be unchanged: • Decent Housing — The City will strive to improve the housing stock city-wide and residential areas within the eligible CDBG area-benefit neighborhoods. It is anticipated that activities will include: o Rehabilitating existing housing stock: The City will continue its HERO (Housing Enforcement and Rehabilitation Opportunities) program, to repair, rehabilitate, and/or retrofit houses for accessibility, as well as preserve Pearland's residential neighborhoods within the CDBG areas through code enforcement. o Encouraging homeownership opportunities: Encouraging local and regional agencies to provide down-payment and/or closing cost assistance to moderate (low)-income households seeking to move from renting to owning a home. Additionally, encouraging local and regional agencies to provide homeownership and financial counseling to those who plan to purchase their first home. o Affirmatively furthering fair housing choice: Identifying and reducing any barriers to fair housing choice and achieving the specific actions set forth in the PY 2017-2021 Fair Housing Plan to affirmatively further fair housing choice. • Suitable Living Environment: The City will fund several activities that benefit the community by improving the living environment through: o Preventing, reducing and eliminating blighted conditions: Blending CDBG with other funds the City will conduct code enforcement activities throughout the CDBG areas, and through non-federal funds, identify and demolish abandoned structures within CDBG areas. o Improving public facilities and infrastructure: The City will use several funding sources to improve public facilities and infrastructure in CDBG Target Areas, particularly Old Townsite. o Assessing transportation services: The City will assess existing transportation assistance for elderly, disabled and domestic violence victims and develop a plan to address the need for increased demand response transportation within Pearland and to/from medical services in Houston. o Supporting private non-profit public services: CDBG funds will continue to be used to support public service agencies in better serving the disadvantaged throughout the City. • Economic Opportunity: The City will undertake activities that expand economic opportunities for low-to moderate-income (LMI) persons and businesses through: o Supporting private economic advancement activities: The City will respond to funding applications by non-profits and for-profits for the provision of educational and/or job training programs that can advance the employment potential of youth and adults. o Striving to meet Section 3 goals: The City will continue to diligently strive to meet all of the hiring, contracting and contractor education goals related to the Section 3 requirements; and making Section 3 compliance a high priority in all contracts using federal funds. 3. Evaluation of past performance During the past year(CDBG PY 2018),the City has undertaken a number of measures to meet the priorities established by the Pearland community and program stakeholders; including but not limited to (to-date): • Code Enforcement in low-to moderate-income target areas; Performance YTD No. of Inspections No. of Cases Code Violations/Citations 423 114 150* *Multiple violations/citations can occur on a per case basis. • Housing rehabilitation for low- to moderate-income owners/occupants of single- family homes in Pearland; Performance YTD Home Repairs Completed In Progress In Application Review 2* 0 2 *The City is actually in the final stages of revising its procurement objectives for this program, and will resume housing rehab activities under the auspices of a new contract service provider upon selection of a successful offerer. • Emergency subsistence (assistance) payments for renter/occupants facing evictions and/or loss of utilities due to exigent and/or emergent conditions resulting in non- payments; Performance YTD Clients served Amount of assistance Average Income 41 $11,856.04 $19,852.47 and • Mental health counseling services for low- to moderate-income individuals in Pearland, particularly youth from families affected by Hurricane Harvey and school/peer experiences warranting additional supportive interventions. Performance YTD Clients served Amount of assistance Average Income 58 $30,622.68 $25,14826 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The City's Citizen Participation Plan provides Pearland's CDBG program with the parameters for compliance with 24 CFR Part 91.200(b),and was formed in 2007 with the origination of our status as a HUD Entitlement Jurisdiction. It was updated in 2013. The applicable processes for developing and completing the City's CDBG Annual Action Plan involves a variety of activities designed to include the public in the planning process, inform the community and stakeholders about the ongoing dynamics of the program, develop the Action Plan itself, and engage local leaders in decision-making as authorized officials that approve the Plan prior to submission to HUD. This process results in short-term and medium-range planning documents- its Annual Action Plan, 5-year Consolidated Plan and Affordable/Fair Housing Plan— all within the framework of meeting applicable long-range HUD goals and National Objectives. This Action Plan development process began in May of calendar year 2019 when the City received its 13th allocation notice of CDBG funding. Upon receipt of the notice, a planning process takes effect with the publication and scheduling of two Public Hearings, a 30-day public comment period, stakeholder reviews of priorities and local conditions that drive the selection of new or continuing community-based programs and services,and the budgetary assessment of necessary costs for completing action plan items. The process generally ties annual action items back to the priorities established in the 5-year Consolidated Plan. However, in 2017 the City was impacted by the same massive disaster that has affected the lion's share of the Texas coastal region — Hurricane Harvey— and a number of urgent need situations came about that constituted making changes to our prior year's plan, which may continue to affect the course our CDBG programmatic priorities. The specific activities involved in developing this Action Plan for PY 2019 included the following: • May 20, 2019 — Public Hearing#1, posted in the City's local, official newspaper of public record, on Wednesday, May 15, 2019 (at least 72+ hours prior to the Public Hearing); • June 15 — July 15, 2019 — Initial Public Comment Period — General CDBG Program Priorities; • July 17 — August 15, 2019 — Additional Public Comment Period — CDBG PY 2019 Application; • July 22, 2019 — Public Hearing #2, posted in the City's local, official newspaper of public record, on Wednesday, July 17, 2019 (at least 72+ hours prior to the Public Hearing); • August 12, 2019—Final Public/Council Input, Discussion, Consideration and Approval—PY 2019 CDBG Annual Action Plan; • August 15, 2019—Submission of Final Action Plan to HUD in IDIS. 5. Summary of public comments No public comments have been received pertaining to this Action Plan. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them None. 7. Summary The City of Pearland has used its CDBG funds to address the highest priority needs in the community and make the greatest impact possible on the living environment of low- to moderate-income residents. Efforts are hampered by the limited funds and by the lack of comprehensive services available through non-profit social service, housing, and homeless agencies in Pearland. Due to the relative size, location, and economic stability of the residents, the economies of scale do not exist to justify many social service, homeless, and affordable housing providers to locate in Pearland. However,the City has continued to address the housing, social service, and economic development needs of the community, particularly those voiced by the residents and stakeholders, through the CDBG program and other funding to the extent possible. In addition to the programmatic,social services and infrastructure improvements being proposed, which total $343,776, the City will use $85,943 for General Program Administration (CDBG Matrix Code 21A). AP-10 Consultation —91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1) 1. Introduction Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)) Pearland consults with a number of local and regional agencies throughout the year and works to coordination with all agencies serving the community. Being a relatively small city, Pearland must rely heavily on the services provided by private agencies and Brazoria County, as well as the regional Council of Governments, and neighboring Harris County and Houston. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The Gulf Coast Homeless Coalition (GCHC) is the official homeless coalition for Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers and Liberty Counties. It is located in Galveston but does hold some meetings in Brazoria County, though none in Pearland. Most of the GCHC's activities occur out of the Gulf Coast Center in Galveston, as the primary provider of shelter, transitional housing, and services • to the homeless. The GCHC is part of the Balance of State for the Continuum of Care. The City works with Brazoria County who coordinates with Texas Homeless Network, the manager of the Balance of State program. There are no agencies in Pearland and only a few in Brazoria County that serve the homeless. Most homeless individuals and families must go to Galveston or Houston for services. Gulf Coast Center in Galveston is the primary provider of homeless information, services, and housing. The Salvation Army provides emergency shelter in Freeport, while the Women's Center provides shelter and transitional housing for victims of domestic violence, neither is geographically near Pearland. Forgotten Angels provides permanent housing for those adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Most of the residents would be homeless without the services of Forgotten Angels. The City is engaged in activities that support increases in situational homelessness and homeless prevention efforts due to Hurricane Harvey. These include mental health counseling services, more robust emergency subsistence, and a plan to increase the use of CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation and pending CDBG-DR funds being passed through to Pearland from the State of Texas. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The Gulf Coast Homeless Coalition is the group that coordinates programs for serving homeless individuals and families. The Coalition covers Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers and Liberty Counties; however the member agencies are located primarily in Galveston County. The Coalition has moved the Continuum of Care management and oversight to the Texas Homeless Network under the Balance of State. The Galveston agencies are better equipped than the smaller Brazoria County agencies to manage the funding allocations and provide the much needed services to the region's homeless. As a result, no Brazoria County agency has received Continuum of Care funding, other than the fact that Gulf Coast Center receives the bulk of the funding and does have a presence in the County, but not in Pearland. The County staff is not closely involved in the Coalition or the Balance of State program and does not receive consultation from Texas Homeless Network in determining how to allocate its ESG funding, develop performance standards or evaluate outcomes. It is a participant in the THN HMIS system and does receive consultation when necessary for administering its local participation in HMIS. 2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction's consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities Pearland contacted a number of stakeholders, including housing, social service agencies, and advocacy groups to provide input into the priority needs in the community, the current services and service gaps, the equal distribution of services geographically and to all population groups, and fair housing issues. Among those participating in the process were: Texas General Land Office, Pearland Neighborhood Center, DCMC Partners LLC,The Odom Group Consultants,Texas Division of Emergency Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Counseling Connections for Change, Adult Reading Center, Pearland Independent School District (PISD), Pearland Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), Pearland Economic Development Corporation, Brazoria County Housing Authority, Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC), and others. Because housing and long-term economic resiliency are a critical component of Pearland's "road to recovery" following Hurricane Harvey, the City has included some State agencies in the process, for discussion sake. Table 1—Agencies,groups,organizations who participated Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting Agencies that duplicate services prioritized in the City's 5-year Consolidated Plan were not specifically targeted for consultation. However, the City's citizen participation and public involvement processes do not restrict those perspectives and/or opinions from being provided for the sake of planning and program delivery,or spending.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The Citizen Participation process will continue to be an on-going element of the CDBG program. Each year, the City makes a concerted effort to involve the residents in all of its planning activities. In preparation for PY 2019, the City hosted two public hearings and a pre-application workshop for public service providers. Both public hearings were advertised in the general circulation newspaper and appeared on the City's website via publication of the public meeting agenda. The two public hearings were conducted at or after 6:30 PM, one on May 20,2019 and the second on July 22, 2019, to allow participation by residents that work during the day. The public hearings included an overview of the CDBG process with time given to receive the comments of every attendee regarding housing, special population, community development and fair housing issues in Pearland. There was an opportunity for discussion on better ways to collaborate and reach more residents with services and opportunities to become involved in CDBG planning. An extended 30-day comment period was included in the process. The City has attended various meetings of public service agencies and provided information and contacts for them to share with their staff, volunteers and program participants regarding the CDBG program. The City is committed to working with public service agencies in identifying needs, priorities, funding opportunities and opportunities to collaborate. One of the most effective avenues to involving residents in the planning process is through the agencies that directly serve them. Pearland will continue to encourage citizen participation, with particular emphasis on participation by persons of very-low, low, and moderate income and those who are residents of target areas in which funds are allocated or proposed to be allocated. Citizen Participation Outreach The City of Pearland has been involved in the public participation process and has relied on the social service agencies to assist in outreach to the community, particularly minorities, non-English speakers, elderly and persons with disabilities. The social service agencies were asked to provide to their program participants information about CDBG and contact information and notices of public hearings. The City will continue to attempt to host public hearings in different locations around the City in future years, particularly in CDBG Target Areas and/or buildings housing subrecipient agencies. The City will make information available at the public venues and will provide meeting and public hearing notices to agencies for their consumers. The Mayor and City Council are also ambassadors into the community to garner more public participation.

A Grants Coordinator was hired, in addition to the ongoing consultancy provided by a subject matter expert in CDBG program management, and the annual planning and program implementation activities were delivered out of that oversight model. In 2017, to elevate the oversight and management of CDBG funds, program oversight and management was relocated back into the City Manager's Office (now referred to as Administration), with supportive financial management functions remaining in Finance. The Finance Department is responsible for paying all invoices and reimbursement requests from the U.S. Treasury through HUD's IDIS on-line system once the funds have been verified as eligible. The Code Enforcement Division of the Fire Department oversees the City's CDBG-funded code enforcement activities and housing rehabilitation program. Infrastructure projects are mostly carried out by the Capital Projects & Engineering or Public Works departments, with Parks and Recreation as a possibility if the scope of work is applicable to that department's domain. The City Attorney has been instrumental in maintaining Fair Housing compliance, and has participated in all HUD-sponsored training and professional development in that regard.

The primary basis for allocating investments being the City's 3rd 5-Year Consolidated Plan, other supportive activities produce specific priorities each year towards meeting longer term goals and objectives.These include observational research by local code enforcement support groups such as the Eyes of Pearland and the Citizen Patrol,the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the Pearland Citizen Survey, Subrecipient funding applications, and demographic indications of the need for specific investments. Therefore, in addition to Fair Housing activities, the City will plan for the implementation of four projects that serve low-moderate income residents of the City of Pearland. The City proposes to use Community Development Block Grant funds from HUD for: • Continuation of its Code Enforcement in Low-Moderate Income Target Areas; • Continuation of its single-family housing rehabilitation program for low-moderate income Pearland residential homeowners that occupy such residences, with carryover funds from the previous year(PY 2019 unfunded); • Facility expansions of agencies serving low-moderate income beneficiaries; • Mental health services to low-moderate income residents; and • Improvements to dilapidated neighborhood facilities or those experiencing excessive wear and tear. Code Enforcement(CDBG Eligibility Matrix Code 15) Code Enforcement is an eligible expense under 24 CFR 570.202(c), and will be used to deploy a Code Enforcement Officer to serve low-moderate income areas of town (CDBG Target Area) to identify code violations, improve education and awareness of local standards, cite violators of local ordinances, and encourage violators to self-remediate code infractions to avoid citations.

In addition to the non-homeless being served by other programs, there are a number of students within that same framework of programming that are dealing with other challenges related to the 2017 disaster. Forgotten Angels Day Hab Center will be able to complete its construction of a 4,000 square foot vocational facility with CDBG funds from a prior year, to meet a critical social services objective for the community. Adjacent to that objective, the City's CDBG funding will support a much-needed fire protection resource for the facility,for which the local code requires and there are limited funds available — a fire lane at this facility. This facility's program will serve 50 mentally-disabled adults, of which vocational and other skill-building activities will help them to live productive lives as they develop. Finally, the prior year's funding of housing rehabilitation activities will carry over into PY 2019 and continue to provide minor repairs for low-moderate income single-family owner-occupied homeowners. AP-60 Public Housing— 91.220(h) Introduction Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Not applicable Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Not applicable If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Not applicable Discussion Not applicable AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs There are very few services for the homeless, and no shelters, in Pearland. While the Gulf Coast Homeless Coalition serves Pearland, its main focus is on Galveston Island, with limited activity in the Angleton area far south of Pearland. Pearland Neighborhood Center,which the City supports with CDBG funds, does provide food and referrals to homeless individuals and families. The City continues to support Forgotten Angels which provides permanent supportive housing to disabled adults who would be homeless if not for their group homes and supportive services. However, Hurricane Harvey has produced some levels of situational homelessness, a significant part of which involve families that have children in the Pearland Independent School District (PISD). The City has partnered with Counseling Connections for Change (CCFC) to create a collaborative effort that helps these families deal with the mental health outcomes associated with any temporary homelessness; particularly, having to reside with family members or friends, and the loss of their own single or multi-family residential stability prior to Harvey. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. There are no emergency or transitional housing programs in Pearland or the immediate area. Gulf Coast Center provides a limited number of units in Brazoria County relatively far removed from Pearland. Bay Area Turning Point, a domestic violence shelter, can serve Pearland but is located in Webster a significant distance from Pearland. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. Goodwill Industries no longer has a presence in Pearland, but does receive clients from Brazoria County,specifically Pearland. They provide rapid rehousing,job training, and supportive services to homeless individuals and families, particularly veterans, at one location in Galveston and three locations in or south of downtown Houston. Though not easily accessible, they are available to provide the services to Pearland residents. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The City historically funded Pearland Neighborhood Center with CDBG funds to provide emergency rent/utility assistance and food assistance to needy households to prevent homelessness, but the program does not specifically target or track those who have been discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care. There is no local HMIS system and no local agencies specifically serving the homeless. Pearland Neighborhood Center tracks the services they provide and that clients receive from other agencies, but the information is self-declared and not in a centralized HMIS system. Those who are accessing health, housing, employment, and other social services are residing in areas close to those services, such as Alvin or Angleton in Brazoria County, or Houston. The City's HERO (Housing Enforcement & Rehabilitation Opportunities) program helps to prevent low- income homeowners from becoming homeless when their homes are no longer safe or meet City codes. The repairs and rehabilitation activities provide suitable living environments and improve affordability for local, eligible homeowners that would otherwise face challenges sustaining a safe, livable home. AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing —91.22O(j) Introduction: Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment Discussion: The City of Pearland has reviewed and analyzed the public policies affecting the development, availability, and cost of housing accessible to the low income and protected classes. All relevant city ordinances have been reviewed and none impede fair housing choice. The majority of the city's housing stock was developed by developers in the Pearland Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and then annexed into the City Limits. Therefore, ordinances regarding building type and size were not applicable at the time of construction. New housing developments within the city limits must follow standard 2015 international building codes, with a few local amendments. While the City does have minimum lot size requirements for development, the ordinance is in keeping with the general planning practices throughout Texas. A major barrier to the development of affordable housing is the requirement to meet minimum standards for the construction of windstorm resistant housing. These standards have been set forth by the Texas Department of Insurance Windstorm in Title 28 of the V.T.C.A. Administrative Code, Section 5.4011 and adopted by the City of Pearland. These standards have increased construction costs. Additionally, the regulatory methods of reducing flood losses in new construction can increase the overall cost of multi-family developments and subdivisions. One regulatory issue that can have a disparate impact on affordable and fair housing is the lack of a fair housing ordinance, and the City is committed to reviewing the viability and benefit of establishing such an ordinance during the next five years. An additional barrier, not related to public policies, include the relatively high income levels of residents and those choosing to move to Pearland, driving the demand for higher-priced housing. The majority of the housing in Pearland is less than 20 years old, pricing it out of reach for most renters and many homebuyers. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Without the funds that HOME and other HUD programs outside of CDBG provide, and with the very limited CDBG funding,the City can do little to ameliorate the barriers to affordable housing. What it can do and has committed to doing is to assist Brazoria County Housing Authority to access landlords and encourage that they accept Section 8 HCVs and encourage Pearland residents who have secured vouchers to seek out housing in Pearland. The City will also work with Brazoria County, to the extent feasible, to identify potential developers who would be willing to become CHDOs and construct affordable housing in the ETJ. The City will continue to review LIHTC applications and give positive responses to those applications to the State that are feasible and sound. The City will continue its owner occupied housing rehabilitation program to assist low-income homeowners in remaining in their homes by bringing them up to code, making them accessible, and stemming additional damage from deteriorated roofs or damaged foundations. The City will work with the County or H-GAC when disaster recovery funds for housing are released to ensure that Pearland residents receive equal access to the funds. The City will continue to support the efforts of Forgotten Angels, which provides supportive housing in a group home environment to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The City will also be reviewing the current ordinances and policies for any barriers to affordable and fair housing and will be completing a new Fair Housing Plan. In conjunction with the plan will be an investigation into the viability and efficacy of adopting a fair housing ordinance that would indirectly address affordable housing. By improving the infrastructure, especially storm drainage, in older, low-income areas, not only will the homes be better protected against damage but the residents will have a better quality of life. • AP-85 Other Actions—91.220(k) Introduction: Pearland is dedicated to investing in and overcoming the obstacles that face the City and Pearland agencies. In an effort to meet the ever-evolving needs of our residents, we are committed to the long-term support of our community. The actions to be taken in PY 2019 include heavy investments in neighborhood and community-based facilities that serve low-moderate income beneficiaries, or that provide mental health services to those without insurance and/or income to support such costs. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Direct actions to address the obstacles to meeting underserved needs include providing needed CDBG funds to community partners for their on-going building improvements. We are addressing the needs in many different angles: Neighborhood Centers- The Pearland Neighborhood Center is in dire need of additional space, primarily for storage of non-perishable and other goods that are distributed throughout to those in need. A possible 1,000 square foot expansion of the facility at 2335 N.Texas Avenue in Pearland is warranted, and the agency will be able to serve more individuals with a variety of services. Counseling Connection for Change- Our partnership with Counseling Connection for Change provides mental health services to the under-served community who face challenges post Hurricane Harvey. Families who are dealing with serious mental health service crises, are often not in a financial position to allocate funds for these necessary services. Working with Pearland ISD, student and family counseling services post Hurricane Harvey will be available through CDBG funding to ensure that families are not only recovering in their physical homes, but they are mentally recovering as well. Counseling services to the uninsured and underinsured allows access to services that would not ordinarily be available. Students in our school's district are reeling in the aftermath of the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey. As parents work to rebuild, we must make sure our students mental well-being doesn't get off track. We are committed to maintaining accessibility, affordability and sustainability for mental health services. Knapp Senior Center—Senior Transportation- The local Senior Center is currently suffering from a deficient set of transportation resources and does not have adequate accessibility levels to meet the needs of the community. Due to aged equipment with limited ADA characteristics, the City will need to use CDBG funds to support the costs of transportation in the form of an ADA accessible van. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The Housing Rehabilitation Program overcomes barriers to maintain affordable housing. The City of Pearland offers this program to address the needs of our citizens who have dilapidated homes in need of major repair. In an effort to maintain pride in their home and reduce abandonment, we allocate CDBG funds for needed repairs to provide a suitable living environment. Without the CDBG funds, residents could move dangerously close to becoming homeless. The City's program provides a way for at least 15 low-to moderate-income owners who have deteriorating homes, particularly with code violations, to repair and preserve their property. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards Each of the 15 homes slated for approved for housing rehabilitation will be evaluated for lead- based paint and assessed as to the level of rehabilitation and if the work will disturb existing paint in houses built before 1978. Based on the level of rehabilitation, appropriate remediation will take place for those built before 1978. The owners of those homes will be given brochures on the dangers of lead and lead-based paint, along with information on managing future repairs to reduce LBP hazards. If there are children in the homes, the owners will be encouraged to have them tested for elevated lead levels. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families None of the CDBG-funded activities for PY 2019 will directly reduce the number of poverty-level families, but the City is committed to providing whatever assistance we can through working with local agencies, community colleges, and UHCL in planning and implementing educational and job training programs that will facilitate beneficiaries in moving out of poverty. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City continually strives to develop and improve institutional structure within our own departments, in other agencies and in collaborative efforts. During PY 2019, the City will continue to ensure that staff members will attend relevant trainings to increase their knowledge of HUD and CDBG regulations and programming. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies There are no public or private housing agencies in Pearland, however the City staff encourages local social service agencies to coordinate with housing activities in Brazoria County outside of the City. Additionally,the City does work closely with Forgotten Angels which maintains 12 group homes for the intellectually disabled in Pearland. They are self-sufficient in-service provision through their Day Hab center, in-house transportation, and other in-house services. However, the City is a conduit to assist in linking Forgotten Angels to local mainstream services which may benefit their residents, as well as informing social service agencies and advocacy groups about Forgotten Angels and its housing and services. Discussion: With limited resources and limited private-sector institutional structure, Pearland is restricted in the level of collaborative enhancements and capacity-building it can accomplish. However, during PY 2019, it will continue to advocate for more collaboration among local agencies and between local and regional agencies; identify and encourage funding applications from viable local agencies; and, increase the institutional knowledge of agencies and city staff about the CDBG program and its requirement. Program Specific Requirements AP-90 Program Specific Requirements — 91.220(1)(1) The City of Pearland receives no program income and will not be expending funds on urgent need activities. Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(1) (1) Projects planned with all CDBG funds expected to be available during the year are identified in the Projects Table. The following identifies program income that is available for use that is included in projects to be carried out. 1.The total amount of program income that will have been received before $0 the start of the next program year and that has not yet been reprogrammed 2.The amount of proceeds from section 108 loan guarantees that will be $0 used during the year to address the priority needs and specific objectives identified in the grantee's strategic plan 3.The amount of surplus funds from urban renewal settlements $0 4. The amount of any grant funds returned to the line of credit for which the $0 planned use has not been included in a prior statement or plan. 5.The amount of income from float-funded activities $0 Total Program Income $0 Other CDBG Requirements 1.The amount of urgent need activities $0 2. The estimated percentage of CDBG funds that will be used for activities that benefit 71.00% persons of low and moderate income. Overall Benefit—A consecutive period of one, two or three years may be used to determine that a minimum overall benefit of 70% of CDBG funds is used to benefit persons of low and moderate income. Specify the years covered that include this Annual Action Plan. Discussion: The City of Pearland receives no program income, but may be expending funds on urgent need activities due to Hurricane Harvey. The percentage of CDBG funds that will be used for activities benefitting LMI persons is based on the allocation to public services and housing rehab for which 100% of the beneficiaries are LMI, plus all of the subrecipients receiving CDBG funds from Pearland's allocation which serves 100% LMI individuals, plus the share of the LMI population in the area-based projects. • • • FY 2019 GRANT AGREEMENT This Grant Agreement is made by and between the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Pearland,Texas, Grantee. The Grantee's Tax Identification Number is 74-6028909. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Grant Number: B-19-MC-48-0400 Duns Number: 020796397 The terms of the CDBG award in the amount of$429,719.00 which are the subject of this part of this Agreement are set forth in the attached executed form HUD -7082, Funding Approval/Agreement. The special condition in your Grant Agreement and Funding Approval concerning the review procedures under Executive Order(EO) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs, and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 52 restricts the obligation or expenditure of funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities until the completion of the review process and receipt of written notification of release of funds for such activities from HUD. The condition requires that in the event you amend or otherwise revise your Consolidated and/or Action Plan to use funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities, you must receive written release of funds from HUD before obligating or expending funds for such activities. In order to establish a Line of Credit for the Fiscal Year 2019 grant, it will be necessary for you to execute and return two copies of the Grant Agreement. In addition, if there is a need to delete or add individuals authorized to access eLOCCS, a Security Access Authorization Form (HUD-27054) must be prepared, notarized, and returned to this office with the Grant Agreement. Also if there is a need to establish or change the depository account to which these grant funds are to be wired, a Direct Deposit Sign-Up Form(SF-1199A) must be completed by you and your financial institution and mailed to this office. CDBG grants funds have historically been disbursed through the Integrated Disbursement and Information System(IDIS) on a"first-in,first-out" basis (FIFO). Under this methodology, CDBG grantees do not designate a specific fiscal year grant in IDIS when funding an activity or when creating an expenditure voucher. In general, all obligations and disbursements are recorded against the earliest annual grant with an available balance, thereby exhausting the oldest grant available before recording expenditures against the next grant. However, the HUD Inspector General has deemed this approach to be inconsistent with generally accepted government accounting principles and CPD is in the position of having to the adjust the disbursement approach in IDIS from FIFO to a grant-based approach. CPD believes that this change should not cause significant disruptions to grantee processes as many grantees' accounting systems typically track expenditures according to each annual grant. However, some grantees may have to make some adjustments and certain new steps have been programmed into IDIS to accommodate the change. CPD is in the process of finalizing a rule to implement these changes for the CDBG program to be published in the Federal Register. CPD will issue alternative guidance to ensure that grantees have appropriate instructions for beginning to draw upon their FY 2019 CDBG funds. Please do not draw funds until such guidance is issued; otherwise grantees may have to correct information in IDIS once the guidance is public. As a recipient of HUD financial assistance covered by Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, it is required that Section 3 Summary Reports (Form HUD-60002) be submitted to HUD in accordance with the guidelines given. Please refer to HUD's website at www.hud.gov/section3 for additional information.
