COKER CITY ATTORNEY Exhibit A DRAFT City of Pearland, Texas 15th Year Annual Action Plan for the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program HUD Program Year 2021 (City of Pearland FY 2022) DUNS Number: 020796397 Kevin Cole, Mayor Clay Pearson, City Manager Prepared for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Houston Field Office August 2021 Executive Summary AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction This Annual Action Plan for the City of Pearland covers Program Year (PY) 2020, which is the City’s fiscal year 2022 (October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2022). 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 these three objectives by improving the quality of life for those low- to moderate-income households throughout the City and in City neighborhoods with 45% or more low- to moderate-income households (up from the previous percentage of 41.77%) – those households with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income. Pearland will focus most of its PY 2021 resources on rental assistance. Social/public service activities will involve continuing investments in the high-priority efforts involving homeless prevention in the form of emergency subsistence to low- to moderate-income households facing evictions and/or loss of critical utility services, as well as the growing importance of mental health services for uninsured and/or low income individuals/households. In addition, the PY 2021 program will need to provide opportunities for those impacted economically by COVID-19 to return to work, which involves allocation of CDBG funds to aftercare/child-care programs that also offer academic enrichment to students as they return to more traditional, face-to-face, education modalities. Program administration activities will be critical for PY 2021, as there are a number of coordinating efforts in place that involve a variety of regular community-based action plan items and the local disaster recovery activities in Pearland. Pearland’s relatively small allocation of CDBG funds, the voluminous financial impact of Hurricane Harvey, and the looming mitigation activities needed to bring the community back to normal all play a significant role in our assessment that administration and oversight will be substantive. 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 The City's CDBG Exception Criteria status with HUD allows Pearland to utilize Census block groups with less than the regulatory 51% or more low -moderate income composition for area -benefit projects, due to the low poverty rate in the City. That percentage is now 45% and is reflected in the map above. 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 Program Year. Broad objectives include the following: • 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, including parks, 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 2020), 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: • Rental Assistance; • Food/Meal Delivery; • Code Enforcement; • Mental Health Services; • Senior Center Facility Improvements; and • Community Medicine. 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 and most recently again in 2020. 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 June of 2021 following the completion of major investments in COVID-19 response and recovery (CARES Act). Upon completion of the City’s primary COVID-19 response, a planning process takes effect with the publication and scheduling of Council input and discussion, a public hearing, a 5-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 2020 the City was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the entire world and a number of urgent need situations have arisen that constitute making changes to our current plan. Some of these may end up adjusting the course of our future CDBG programmatic priorities. 5. Summary of public comments Citizen Jimmy Davis, 5604 Colmesneil Street, Pearland TX 77584 provided comments at the applicable public hearing to the effect that the City should not be spending CDBG funds on Code Enforcement as a revenue-producing endeavor. He later emailed staff requesting additional clarification and a response ensued. That information has been attached to this Annual 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.

Agency Role Name Department/Agency Lead Management & Oversight Pearland Administration Financial Management Pearland Finance Housing and Code Enforcement Pearland Community Development Dept Table 1 – Responsible Agencies Narrative (optional) Soon after the inception of the City’s CDBG Entitlement Jurisdiction status in 2007, the oversight and management of the CDBG program in Pearland was moved from the City Manager’s Office to the Finance Department. 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. Community Development now oversees housing rehabilitation. 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. Consolidated Plan Public Contact Information Joel Hardy Grants & Special Projects Administrator City of Pearland 3519 Liberty Drive Pearland, TX 77581 281-652-1795 JHardy@pearlandtx.gov AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l) 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(l)) 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, IMPACT Strategic Consulting, 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 the Coronavirus pandemic, the City has included some State agencies in the process..

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 2021, the City hosted a docketed public hearing for City Council members and the public to provide input and discussion on potential spending priorities. The public hearing was advertised on the City’s website. In addition, the public hearing notice was posted physically at City Hall in its public notices window. The public hearing was conducted at or after 6:00 PM on June 14, 2021. The public hearing 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. A 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.

Projects AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d) Introduction During PY 2021 (City of Pearland FY 2022), the City will focus its CDBG funds on improving the housing stock, increasing resources available to social service agencies meeting local underserved needs, and other small community development activities. Projects # Project Name HUD National Objective Matrix Code 1 Code Enforcement 15 2 Housing Rehabilitation 14H 3 Mental Health Counseling 05O 4 Emergency Subsistence Payments – Rental Assistance 05Q 5 Senior Center – Facility Improvements 03A 6 Youth Services 05D 7 General Program Administration 21A Table 1 - Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs The primary allocation priorities for HUD Program Year 2021 (City of Pearland FY 2022) stem from the need to restore allocation practices to pre-Coronavirus pandemic levels and provide and the necessary traditional CDBG program support. Rental assistance, community health, senior center facility improvements, youth services, housing rehabilitation, and code enforcement make up the expenditures planned for during the applicable program year. The main obstacle to addressing these underserved needs is funding, so the CDBG program resources will be used to address the highlighted unmet needs. The tables below provide a breakdown of each proposed project by funding allocation and dollar amount to be funded.

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 seven 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; • Continuation of a program to provide short-term emergency financial assistance to eligible, local, low-moderate income residents that are facing evictions, utility shut-offs, or even prescription medicines for the elderly or mentally-disabled adults; • Mental health services to low-moderate income residents; • Youth services; • Improvements to senior facilities or those experiencing excessive wear and tear; and • General Program Administration 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.

These are households that are facing eviction and are low-moderate income within the City of Pearland. 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. 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 funds Pearland Neighborhood Center 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 – 91.220(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 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-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-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 2021 include developing the institutional structure, improving housing conditions and neighborhood quality, and addressing the social service needs of the community. 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: The Adult Reading Center The goal of The Adult Reading Center is to improve literacy while encouraging community involvement. Part of the CDBG funded improvements will include repair to the roofing structure, flooring and other elements allowing the center to continue to serve and meet the needs of their eligible clientele. Neighborhood Centers For those who are having a hard time paying necessary household bills, we are teaming with our community partners to help our residents address these obstacles. Through our partnership with Pearland Neighborhood Centers, we can offer our low to moderate income single family owner occupied beneficiaries with assistance emergency subsistence payments progress (rental/utilities assistance). We believe that providing this much needed CDBG allocation will help keep our families moving forward on the path toward success. 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. Housing Rehabilitation Program- The Housing Rehabilitation Program overcomes barriers to 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 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 2021 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 2021, the City will ensure that staff members will attend relevant trainings to increase their knowledge of HUD and CDBG regulations and programming. These may be on-site trainings or webinars. The City current collaborates closely with Brazoria County's Community Development office and this will continue in PY 2021. All CDBG-funded agencies will receive one-on-one training during contract negotiations and monitoring to enhance their internal and collaborative structure with the CDBG program. 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 2021, 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.
