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) 2024, which is the City’s fiscal year 2025 (October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025). 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 44.8% or more low- to moderate-income households (down from the previous percentage of 45.00%) – those households with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income. 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 2024 program will involve 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 2024, 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. 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 44.8%. Specific PY 2024 projects include efforts totaling $456,770 in CDBG allocations, involving activities involving: Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation ($226,901); Program Delivery Costs of Housing Rehabilitation - Per Project ($70,000); Mental Health Services ($22,838); Youth Aftercare/Child-Care Services ($22,838); and Rental Assistance - Emergency Subsistence ($22,838). Program Administration Annual Action Plan 2024 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) costs associated with program management and oversight will wrap up HUD PY 2023 expenditure plans, totaling $91,354. These activities are consistent with the history of performance of the Pearland CDBG program and the priorities set forth in the City’s 4th 5-Year Consolidated Plan (2022-2026). The table below highlights these details and provide the depiction of income levels that our 2024 program year activities will abide by, if and when there is the need to institute responses to urgent unmet needs that have an area-benefit characteristic, or other program activities that warrant an LMA approach to eligibility for using CDBG funds. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The City’s 4th 5-year Consolidated Plan was submitted in PY 2021 for use during PY 2022-2026, providing objectives and outcomes through the HUD 2026 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: Rehabilitating existing housing stock: The City will continue its Home Repair 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. 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. Affirmatively furthering fair housing choice: Identifying and reducing any barriers to fair housing choice and achieving the Annual Action Plan 2024 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) specific actions set forth in the PY 2022-2026 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: 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. Annual Action Plan 2024 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-12 Participation – 91.105, 91.200(c) 1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City’s PY 2023 Annual Action Plan was the subject of a 30-day comment period. Two public hearings were held, the first on June 24, 2024 and the second on August 12, 2024. Because the City hosts docketed public hearings when at all possible, the hearing is recorded and streamed live via YouTube and provides a larger public presence than our facility allows. The majority of citizen involvement in Pearland CDBG planning takes place during the efforts to create its 5 – Year Consolidated Plans, with interim involvement taking place during public comment periods. Due to the relatively small allocation amounts and consistent nature/scope of program/activity, the City does not find it feasible to utilize ongoing citizen committees or other official group-based considerations for developing our plans at this time. Both 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. The first public hearing on June 24, 2024 kicked off the official 30-day comment period that 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. 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 Annual Action Plan 2024 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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.

The City will always attempt to maximize investments in social services, to the tune of the allowable 15% of each year's annual allocation. Due to the need for improved spending timeliness and maximized administrative capacity, the City will budget and spend the entire program administration capacity at the full, allowable 20% of the allocation.

Table 2 - Expected Resources – Priority Table Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how Annual Action Plan 2024 9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) matching requirements will be satisfied. There are no anticipated leverages of additional resources, as the City's policy is to avoid matching funds with CDBG due to its limited oversight and management capacity and the complexity of regulations when adding non-federal resources to federal resources. There are exceptions, but the general consensus is to find projects that can be wholly completed with CDBG funds.

Annual Action Plan 2024 12 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Projects AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d) Introduction The City used local surveys and housing assessment data, as well as economic assessments of the community and other social service program information to determine its program priorities during the 2022-2026 5-year Consolidated Plan process. The associated Annual Action Plan priorities are consistent with those, and the annual allocations of CDBG funds are used accordingly. During PY 2023 (City of Pearland FY 2024), the City will focus its CDBG funds on continuing to improve the housing stock via home repair program activities, increasing resources available to social service agencies meeting local underserved needs, and other small community development activities. Projects # Project Name Funding 1 Home Repair Program $226,901 2 Mental Health Services $22,838 3 Emergency Subsistence $22,838 4 Youth Services - Aftercare $22,838 5 Home Repair Program - Administration $70,000 6 General Program Administration $91,354 Table 4 - Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs. This Plan involves the use allocations of the PY 2024 (City FY 2025) CDBG HUD allocation to the City of Pearland totaling $456,770. The local assessment of unmet needs indicate that enough COVID-19 resources are available to the community, via CDBG CARES Act provisions (CV1 and CV2) and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation of $11.8 million through December 31, 2024. The PY 2024 funds will continue on the reversion to normal uses for CDBG priorities, as the pandemic will hopefully subside. Regular allocations of historically appropriate amounts for emergency subsistence, mental health services, code enforcement activities, housing repair and rehabilitation, and the facility improvements for local non-profit mental health facility are the top priorities. The City will also make an effort to sustain investments into youth services, as one important pandemic response to an unmet need involves aftercare services.
