Introduction ' The 2018 Action Plan represents Year Four of the 2015-2019 five-year Housing and Community Development Plan (HCD Plan) of the St. Joseph County Housing Consortium. This plan indicates the PY2018 priority needs and related objectives to support strong neighborhood revitalization activity in St. ' Joseph County. The priority needs and objectives are outlined in the HCD Plan under the following categories: Housing, Non-Housing Community Development, Homeless, Non-Homeless Special Needs, and Public Services. ' The City of South Bend is receiving $2,785,114 in federal resources for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) in PY2018. The St.Joseph County Housing Consortium is receiving$1,030,317 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding in PY2018. ' 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless ' needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. Most 2018 CDBG-funded activities will coordinate with geographic priorities of the Vacant and Abandoned Housing Initiative and the West Side Corridors Plan.The City of South Bend has targeted specific portions of the Near Northwest (Census Tract 6), the Near West Side including the Lincoln Park neighborhood (Census Tract 19), and the Southeast Neighborhood (Census Tracts 29 and 30) for programs that promote first time homebuyers, renovate quality rental properties, create affordable single-family homes, and remove vacant and abandoned structures.These neighborhoods show relatively low incomes and high concentrations of poverty, high rates of residential vacancy and abandonment, and a high incidence of sub-prime loans. The target areas, adjacent to downtown, are also areas that have begun to see redevelopment activity by local non-profit housing organizations and private developers. The Monroe Park Neighborhood, bounded by Monroe Street, Lincolnway West, Osborne Street, and Michigan Street, will be targeted for owner-occupied housing rehab activity.The neighborhood includes three (3) low-mod income census tracts (33, 35 and 17). The 2018 CDBG funding plan follows the basic parameters of previous plans, with emphasis on the physical nature of revitalization activities as they relate to affordable housing and strong communities. ' An emphasis on neighborhood revitalization through partnerships with community development corporations, rehabilitation of owner-occupied homes, homeownership opportunities, public facility improvements, and public services will occur. ' The HOME Program is receiving $1,030,317 for housing programs that include tenant-based rental assistance, new home construction, housing acquisition-rehab, and homeownership opportunities throughout St. Joseph County in 2018. The HOME program will exceed the 25 percent ' match requirements through private funding, project sponsors and banked match. Annual Action Plan 1 2018 ' OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) The ESG Program in the City of South Bend is receiving $212,959 in 2018 for emergency shelter and ' rapid rehousing activities that serve the community's homeless population. ESG grant matching requirements will be satisfied using funds from other federal, state, and private dollars. ' Numerous sources of funding are expected to be available to supplement the federal dollars for Supporting Homeowners and Helping Renters become Homeowners. In addition to annual CDBG and ' HOME funds, private local financial institution support, and general community donations are anticipated. A consortium of six local financial institutions will continue to pool resources to provide mortgage assistance to new homeowners through the Community Homebuyers Corporation (CHC) ' program. Rebuilding Together will rehab homes with CDBG dollars and local labor and material donations. South Bend Home Improvement Program (SBHIP) will rehab owner-occupied homes with CDBG. Housing counseling will be made available through CDBG, South Bend city resources and state dollars via the Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network. Additionally, in 2011, the Hardest Hit Funds Program was added to the pool of assistance to those facing foreclosure. These sources fund the counseling activity that supports the efforts to asssist homeownership. Over 200 households are expected to attend a counseling session and or class in 2018. 3. Evaluation of past performance This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or ' projects. The City has a long history of successfully partnering with Community Development Corporations (CDCs) to create affordable housing, both rental and owner-occupied. This partnership also provided the means to create community meeting spaces and improve public facilities in low-mod income neighborhoods. In addition, the City administers an owner-occupied home rehab program, and annually provides additional homeowner assistance with CDBG funds to Rebuilding Together and REAL Services, Inc. for home rehabs. Direct homeownership assistance was provided to low-mod income first-time homebuyers through the Community Homebuyers Corporation homebuyer assistance program. , Public facilities improvements are a high priority, and will be funded with CDBG in 2018. To ensure compliance with applicable requirements, every CDBG, HOME and ESG subrecipient is desktop-monitored multiple times throughout the year. This monitoring occurs with each claim for reimbursement and each application for funding that is submitted to the Department of Community Investment (DCI). All subrecipients receive feedback and/or guidance via email and phone communication, and in-person meetings with DCI staff. In addition, DCI staff conduct at least eight (8) on-site monitoring visits of sub-grantees every year to review their internal systems. As part of the monitoring visit, DCI staff meets with appropriate members of the sub-grantee staff to review , procedures, client files, financial records and other pertinent data. Any new sub-recipient is monitored in its first year of funding. Promoting Quality Rental Property is realized with the PHA's Section 8 vouchers, CDBG funds for rehab ' of existing rental units, as well as HOME funds for Tenant Based Rental Assistance. Efforts to prevent homelessness and assist the homeless are supported with Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, as well as HEARTH McKinney-Vento Homeless funds. ESG funding has been allocated for operations of emergency shelters, outreach, rapid re-housing, homeless prevention and program Annual Action Plan 2 ' 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) ' administration. The FUSE project, which addresses housing/supportive services needs of homeless individuals with mental illness and addiction issues, is funded in part with HOME funds. 4.

Introduction The 2018 Action Plan is prepared in consultation with community, governmental, public housing authorities, and nonprofit service and neighborhood organizations. Several federal, state and regional ' sources for information on economic, health, assisted housing, and social service issues are utilized. Dialogue with local sub-grantees and the St. Joseph County Homeless Regional Planning Council is on-going. 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)). The City of South Bend has a seat on the RPC and attends regular monthly meetings. The Planning Council continues to be very active in working cooperatively to apply for relevant grants, and to assess its funding opportunities/challenges. Regular RPC participants include: • Oaklawn Psychiatric Center, which works primarily with mental illness issues; • AIDS Ministries/AIDS Assist, which provides services to HIV/AIDS patients; • Youth Service Bureau, which services unaccompanied youth under the age of 25; • YWCA, a domestic violence shelter; • Dismas House, which serves ex-offenders; • Brightpoint, which serves to eliminate conditions of poverty; • The Center for the Homeless, which provides services to homeless persons/families; • Life Treatment Centers, which treats persons with substance addictions; and, • The Veterans Administration, serving the veteran population. In addition, regular meetings and/or discussions take place with representatives of local housing authorities, Bridges out of Poverty, and the St.Joseph County Health Department. On behalf of efforts related to the former St. Joseph County Continuum of Care, the City of South Bend contracted with the Corporation for Supportive Housing's (CSH) National Consulting Team to explore the action steps needed to bring the Continuum into compliance with current federal guidance and ' regulations. In addition to requesting analysis of current administrative and oversight compliance, the Continuum expressed interest in exploring the option of joining the Indiana Balance of State Continuum of Care. After review and consultation with CSH, the St. Joseph County Continuum of Care unanimously ' approved reaching out and pursing the process to join the Balance of State. The St. Joseph County CoC officially joined the Indiana Balance of State CoC in 2017 and is now known as the St. Joseph County Regional Planning Council (SJC RPC). Annual Action Plan 5 2018 ' OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) 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 City and SJC RPC discussed and agreed that ESG funds would be used to assist nonprofit organizations that provide assistance to homeless individuals and families by supporting the following: , • Broadening existing shelter activities; • Emphasizing Rapid Re-housing (helping individuals and families who are literally homeless [in a ' shelter or sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation]) to quickly access permanent housing; • Helping people quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness; • Aligning the ESG program with other HUD programs; and, • Supporting more coordinated and effective data collection, performance measurement, and program evaluation. r 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 proposed performance standards are based on the regulations, desired outcomes, and experience with HPRP. The Center for the Homeless has been and continues to be the Continuum's lead agency with regard to HMIS.The Center maintains an individual as the lead point person who can assist with training and any HMIS issues, and contracts directly with Client Track for HMIS service. All HMIS users follow confidentiality and privacy requirements. 2.

The City also identified Census Tracts 19 and 20 as areas of greatest need based on the data and foreseen liklihood of foreclosures. Census Tract 19 is ranked as the ' 10th area most in need; however, it is believed that its proximity to four of the top five census tracts makes it a critical area to help stabilize.The Monroe Park neighborhood near downtown South Bend has been targeted as part of Habitat for Humanity's 2018 Carter Build. To complement Habitat's efforts, r Rebuilding Together will target the Monroe Park neighborhood for it's owner-occupied rehab program. In 2018, the City of South Bend will also focus funds for housing activities in Census Tracts 6 and 19. Additionally,the geographic allocation of resources was based upon: ' • History of the City's focus/redevelopment and support of the Community Development Corporations (CDCs) complementing previous investment r • Areas of need per NSP determinations • Location of most vacant and abandoned structures ' • High foreclosure rate (NSP) • Age of housing stock ' • High cost loans (NSP) r r r r r r r r Annual Action Plan 46 ' 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) ' Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing - 91.420, 91.220(g) Introduction ' For the City of South Bend, priority areas include housing needs for low-mod income homeowners, persons with mental disabilities, unaccompanied youth, battered spouses and persons with HIV/AIDS.

In early 2015, a new Board of Commissioners was appointed to the Housing Authority. The Board is guiding the HASB toward financial and performance ' stability. For the first time since 2012, the HASB has a Board approved annual budget. The Housing Authority scored 80%on its recent physical inspections by HUD. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The HASB is meeting the needs of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families residing in the jurisdiction and is actively seeking to expand its capacity to assist more families on a continual basis. The HASB has 110 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) families in its rolls in the ' HCV Program and expects that number will increase by at least 11 during 2017. The Public Housing Program has 814 units and is regularly 97% + leased. The HASB added three additional single-family homes to the Public Housing inventory. , Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and ' participate in homeownership The HASB participates in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS), a voluntary Program for Section 8 participants. Additionally, for the past 12 years residents of public housing have participated in a similar ' Program that combines the Public Housing Authority Section 32 Program with an Indiana State Program of Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). The FSS Program requires that the head of household enter a five-year contract with the PHA during which time the family will receive supportive services through a ' case worker. The goal is that the family will eventually not require public assistance of any type. In return, any rent increases from increased income earnings that the participant experiences are placed in an interest bearing escrow account which the participant receives when they complete their five-year , contract. This escrow account can be used for a down payment on a home, education costs, or medical expenses. In the Public Housing Homeownership Program (now referred to as Section 32) at the Housing Authority of South Bend since it was begun and initially titled Turnkey III, well over 100 families , have moved from public housing to homeownership. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The HASB was rated as a troubled Public Housing Authority during most of 2015. Currently, the HASB is ' waiting the scoring of its 2015 Financial Assessment Submission as well its Management Assessment (directly tied to the Financial Assessment). The HASB currently has 40 out of 50 points in the Public ' Housing Assessment System's 100 point scoring system and with 50 points remaining on the Financial and Management areas, the HASB needs only 20 of 50 points to move out of the troubled range. However, even if this should occur, HUD could continue treating the HASB as a troubled PHA. ' Annual Action Plan 48 , 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) ' ' AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.420, 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 The Continuum of Care (CoQ agencies are working together to design and implement a collaborative process based on referrals and complementary programs and services. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons ' The CoC continues to discuss and work on strategies that will result in the following priorities: Restructuring the traditional shelter system toward the Housing First model and meeting Hearth Act ' priorities, and supporting the City's efforts in joining the Mayor's Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness • Focusing on rapid re-housing activities • Using two distinct approaches, one for situational impoverished homeless individuals and one for the chronically improverished homeless, to re-house them • Reducing the unsheltered or precariously housed population • Reducing the time spent in transitional housing ' 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 The chronically homeless, severely mentally ill, veterans, persons with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence, and youth will be moved into rapid re-housing options rather than the traditional shelter system whenever possible; the chronic substance abuse homeless subpopulation will use a traditional shelter model with expanded services and programs. The Center for the Homeless established a homeless veteran facility. Low income housing tax credits were awarded for a facility for the chronically homeless with substance abuse issues who typically stay outside of the shelter system. ' Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly ' Annual Action Plan 49 2018 ' OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) 1 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. Discharge planning within the community continues to be extremely difficult. While the hospitals and community mental health centers have coordinated plans with the emergency shelter facilities, they are still less than ideal for an individual just released from their care. Additionally, county and state correctional facilities are not coordinating their releases; it is not uncommon to have an individual arrive ' at a facility with paperwork ordering them into residence when there is no available bed. With the support of the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, the CoC has been working with the State Department of Correction and the Department of Child Services to improve the coordination ' of discharge policies. The St. Joseph County CoC developed the following discharge coordination policies for foster care, health care, and mental health systems of care. ' Foster Care: The Indiana Division of Child Services case managers are responsible for creating individualized plans for each youth being discharged from foster care. They are responsible for case , planning, and reunification conferences with providers including foster parents, birth parents, children (when age appropriate), and Court Appointed Special Advocates. Youth aging out of foster care receive independent living services that cover areas such as financial independence, educational needs, ' vocational needs, mental health and substance abuse treatment. The Division of Child Services has a written protocol and partners with appropriate community providers to ensure that youth discharged from foster care are not discharged into the streets. ' Health Care: Memorial Hospital and Health Care Systems and St.Joseph Regional Medical Center are the two major health care centers in the community. Both have written protocols concerning the Discharge Planning and Process in place. Discharge planning begins at the time of admission. The protocols state , that the social worker/case manager shall provide assistance when identified or requested. Mental Health: Oaklawn Psychiatric Center has numerous written policies, protocols, and ' Memorandums of Understanding involving discharge of homeless or potentially homeless individuals. When an individual is considered potentially homeless, the protocol instructs the social worker to contact the Center for the Homeless and/or other shelters to determine whether the individual is ' banned, timed-out or needs to go to the grievance board. 1 1 Annual Action Plan 50 , 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) ' ' AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) ' Introduction The following public policies could negatively impact affordable housing and residential investment in St. Joseph County: ' Property Tax Rate - Homeowners in South Bend and Mishawaka pay city taxes while those in the County Remainder do not. To address this problem, South Bend has implemented a residential tax abatement ' program. In addition, the County Property Tax Rate for St. Joseph County is the second highest in the State. Design Standards - South Bend and Mishawaka require design improvements such as curbs, sidewalks 1 and drainage. The areas within the unincorporated county do not require these infrastructure improvements. ' Building Codes and Local Historic Districts - Codes related to construction and development allow no special provision waivers for the construction of new, or rehab of existing, affordable housing. The lack of provision waivers for affordable housing could be considered a barrier to the development of affordable housing. Local regulations for historic districts require exterior compatibility at the time of renovation or rehabilitation, possibly imposing costs which could make the development of affordable housing within ' those districts more expensive. Regulatory Barriers in the Rural and Suburban Areas - Roughly sixty percent of the land in the unincorporated areas of St. Joseph County is zoned agricultural, meaning a home built in the district must have a minimum of a twenty acre lot. This requirement limits the development of affordable housing in areas zoned agricultural. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve p g p p 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 Support for the development efforts that improve employment prospects for low/mod income individuals is ongoing. People returning to the community from prison often need assistance in securing jobs and affordable housing. ' The Residential Tax Abatement program is available to potential homeowners for consideration when thinking about homeownership. This allows a phasing in the costs that can lessen the immediate financial burden and, coupled with the legislative property tax cap, could be critical to new homeowners. The City of South Bend will continue its Housing Counseling and Homebuyer Education programs. Although not a financial mechanism, being better educated and understanding the costs and risks of homeownership can direct individuals where their situation best suits them. Understanding if and when a home purchase is a viable option is most critical. ' In an effort to expand the jurisdiction of the South Bend Human Rights Commission, the Chair of the Commission and the Executive Director met with the Mishawaka Common Council in October 2013. ' There has been no movement on this issue. Annual Action Plan 51 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k) ' Introduction ' 1. The City of South Bend continues to work on developing creative solutions and possible resources to address the issue. 2. Continuing the emphasis on homeowner rehab support to assist owners with being able to remain in ' their homes. 3.The City has budgeted funding for its Vacant&Abandoned housing initiative. ' 4. City's continuing support of housing counseling, successful renewal of Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network (IFPN) and Hardest Hit Funds (HHF) awards, and outreach efforts for Making Home Affordable will ultimately assist those facing foreclosure. 5.The City of South Bend supports a tax credit project that will create affordable housing for chronically homeless individuals with substance abuse issues (FUSE project). , 6. Continuum of Care strategic decision to merge with the Balance of State to strengthen the structure, communication and efforts to support the homeless and special needs populations will continue to: ' • Broaden existing shelter and homelessness prevention activities. • Emphasize Rapid Re-housing (helping individuals and families who are literally homeless [in a ' shelter or sleeping place not meant for human habitation]) to quickly access permanent housing. • Help people quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis , and/or homelessness. • Align the ESG program with other HUD programs. ' • Support more coordinated and effective data collection, performance measurement, and program evaluation. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The age of the housing stock in the inner cities creates certain challenges for neighborhoods particularly ' if the houses within it have not been properly been maintained. This sometimes occurs because low income homeowners may not have the means to keep up with the maintenance requirements of an , older home.To assist these residents, South Bend supports the inclusion of the following activities: • Grants to low-mod income owner occupied homes for rehabilitation/repair/purchase • Delinquency&foreclosure resolution for existing homeowners ' • Clearance and demolition • Homebuyer education programs/training ' • Forgivable second mortgages and closing cost assistance to income-qualified first-time homebuyers ' • Acquisition/rehab for resale to income-qualified homebuyers Annual Action Plan 52 ' 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) ' • New construction of single-family homes for sale to income-qualified homebuyers ' • Creation of new rental units for income-qualified tenants ' Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The Housing Authority of South Bend maintains a Section 8 Landlord Assistance Program in which any resident living in a Section 8 unit that has been identified as lead contaminated and where the owner refuses to bring the home into a lead safe status, has an absolute preference on the Public Housing waiting list for the first available unit. Additionally, any pre-1978 Section 8 home that is identified during the Housing Authority's Annual Housing Quality Standards Inspection as having chipping, peeling or 1 cracking paint must receive and pass a clearance test by a State certified inspection. These policies have significantly increased the number of affordable housing units that are lead-safe in the City. The HASB also maintains an active list of current lead safe addresses at http://www.hasbonline.com/docs/safe.pdf Additionally, from 2006 through 2016, the HASB received a Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Grant. In 2016, due in part to HUD reducing the amount of funds in this program by 50%, the HASB grant was not renewed. The HASB will continue to apply or support another application for additional lead hazard reduction funds to be available to St.Joseph County. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The Housing Authority of South Bend maintains a Section 8 Landlord Assistance Program in which any resident living in a Section 8 unit that has been identified as lead contaminated and where the owner refuses to bring the home into a lead safe status, has an absolute preference on the Public Housing waiting list for the first available unit.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families ' South Bend continues to utilize a team approach to working with its partners in implementing the programs/projects funded through the various federal sources. The Community Investment staff regularly communicates with all sub-grantees, and meets with those entities involved in the targeted areas. Regularly scheduled meetings with the CDCs occur due to the nature of the work and the amount of funds allocated. The Center for the Homeless STAR (Skilled,Trained, Able, and Ready) program addresses the root causes ' Annual Action Plan 53 2018 ' OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) of poverty by assisting participants with job readiness, externships, job retention, and job search. Bridges Out of Poverty is a local program based on a nationally recognized model that educates both the low-income individual and the business community on working together to address issues that prevent people in poverty from becoming and remaining employed. In 2014, the City of South Bend, in conjunction with the City of Mishawaka, the St. Joseph County Chamber of Commerce, IVY Tech Community College, WorkOne Development, and a number of local businesses launched a new ' workforce training initiative, "Supporting Manufacturers and Regional Talent" (SMART). SMART assists residents in obtaining the necessary skills to participate in a wider range of employment opportunities. Participants are trained through IVY Tech as skilled workers in manufacturing. The program helps develop a skilled workforce to meet the needs of local manufacturers. Actions planned to develop institutional structure i South Bend continues to utilize a team approach to working with its partners in implementing the , programs/projects funded through the various federal sources. The Community Investment staff regularly communicates with all sub-grantees, and meets with those entities involved in the targeted areas. Regularly scheduled meetings with the CDCs occur due to the nature of the work and the amount of funds allocated. The targeted geography approach meshes the efforts of the South Bend City departments, the CDCs, and other nonprofits such as Habitat for Humanity, to broadly plan and advance the City's efforts. The HOME, CDBG and NSP funds targeted to the Near Westside and Near Northwest neighborhoods offer an opportunity for all of these entities to work together using their various areas of expertise to support the successful conclusion of the plan. ' Staff meets with an entity upon approval of a project and prior to contracting. In addition, desktop monitoring and on-site monitoring occur. The Consortium members are continually informed as to project/program status at their meetings ' during the year. Scheduled in advance of the beginning of the year, sub-grantees are aware and plan for visual and verbal updates. , The Continuum of Care members, who include the City of South Bend, meet every month to discuss program status and funding opportunities, and to address the broader issues of homelessness in the community. , Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The Continuum of Care is merging with the Balance of State.

Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) The Continuum of Care agrees that any client is eligible to receive assistance up to 12 months within ' a 3 year period as determined by the certification process required for all ESG clients. In December 2014 the Continuum agreed to extend the time period for youth to a maximum of 24 months. The Continuum of Care anticipates this timeframe to be of assistance, and believes it supports the rapid re-housing emphasis of the program. It is the case manager's responsibility to document client need and ensure that ESG is the most appropriate assistance for the client. Any potential client must go through a detailed intake process in order to determine and document eligibility to participate in the program. Case managers will consistently reevaluate the need for assistance during the 12 month period. All sub-grantees are expected to provide support to clients for the full time neccessary to stabilize that client and provide for the likelihood of a positive housing outcome after assistance. Also approved by the Continuum in December 2014 was the option for an agency to tier the rent ' assistance over the 12 month period. For example, 100% assistance would be provided for the first 3 months, 75% for months four through six, 50% for months seven through nine, and 25% for the remaining three months of the period. This scale may be adjusted for youth that are eligible for 24 ' months of assistance. 2. if the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. ' The Continuum of Care is beginning the process of implementing coordinated entry under the guidance of the Balance of State. Training is scheduled and a formal implementation plan is being discussed. 3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). The City of South Bend has the final decision making authority on the selection of proposals to be funded. Proposals will be evaluated and preference given to those which address the following: • Top priority will be given to agencies that are actively involved in the Continuum of Care. ' Allow for the most efficient and cost-effective use of ESG Program funds so that as many homeless individuals and families as possible will be assisted. • Demonstrate a committment to the project in terms of time, effort, resources, etc. ' • Include a realistic, detailed financial package that documents the ability of the applicant entity to match the Emergency Solutions Grant funds and demonstrates the ability to leverage financing from ' other sources. (Expenditures should be explained). • Describe the nature and extent of the (documented) unmet homeless need within the applicant's jurisdiction and detailed extent to which the proposed activities address the need. ' Annual Action Plan 57 2018 ' OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) • Provide the ability of the applicant entity to carry out the proposed activities within the 2017 program year. • Demonstrate effectiveness in serving the homeless, including the ability to establish, maintain, ' and/or improve the self-suffiency of homeless individuals. • Timeliness of reimbursement request/draw requests will be considered for currently or previously ' funded entities. • It is a HUD policy that, within the framework of constitutional church-state guidelines, faith-based organizations should be able to compete on an equal footing with other organizations for federal funding. Accordingly, organizations that are faith-based are eligible, on the same basis as any other organization, to participate in HUD programs and activities, and therefore the City of South Bend's ' HUD-funded programs and activites. 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR ' 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions ' regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. The City, along with the Continuum of Care, has as their combined agenda, the development of a long term plan to include homeless participation on the Continuum. All sub-grantees are required to ' involve program participants in the operation of their ESG funded program. This involvement can be in the form of a program participants' employment or volunteering in program activities such as construction, renovation, maintenance, general operation of facilities, and provision of services. For example, a shelter might involve participants in ongoing maintenance tasks or other operations of the facility such as staffing the reception desk. This involvement can include paid and/or volunteer work. ' 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. ' The City, like HUD, recognizes that performance standards will evolve over the next few years as ESG sub-grantees improve their program outcomes through evaluation of HMIS data and through the ' integration of ESG services into the Continuum of Care. Implementation of the Emergency Solutions Grant will allow the City to gain baseline data about specific performance measures and performance standards. Information from FY 2012 through FY 2016 is used to further refine ' measures and standards for the FY 2017 ESG funds. When developing the performance standards, the City will also consider which data elements were required to be collected in HMIS for ESG, and additional data elements included in the March 2010 HMIS Data Standards. Discussion to date has ' included standards of housing stability; maintaining income/employment; access to other resources assistance; and the ability of a client to not fall back into a homeless situation. The CoC will continue to be a consulting partner as the ESG performance standards are finalized. ' Performance Measures for Homelessness Prevention: A reduction in the number of homeless households involving families with children (a priority need for homeless assistance within the local Continuum of Care community) ' Expected Outcome: At least 35% of participants assisted will remain in permanent housing six (6) months after the last assistance provided under ESG.

Under HOME resale provisions, the period of affordability is based upon the total amount of HOME funds invested in the development of the housing unit to make it affordable for low-mod income buyers. The required minimum affordability periods are outlined below: Total HOME Direct Subsidy or Investment period of Affordability ' per Housin Unit Under$15,OOQ 5 years Between $15,000 and $40,000 10 years Over $4o,000 15 yea rs A HOME deed restriction will be executed that accurately reflects the resale or recapture provisions at the time of sale. The executed deed restriction will be recorded with the St. Joseph County Recorder. Recapture Policy ' Under HOME recapture provisions, all or a portion of the HOME financial assistance provided directly to the homebuyer (direct subsidy) must be repaid if the buyer ceases to use the housing unit as their primary residence during the period of affordability noted above. Under the recapture provision the original homebuyer may sell the property to any willing buyer during the period of affordability, and the PJ will recapture a portion of the HOME assistance provided to the original buyer. Should the homebuyer or homeowner breach the terms and conditions for any other reason, e.g. no longer occupies the property as his/her/their principal residence without having sold the property, the full amount of the direct subsidy is immediately due and payable. In general, the St. Jose h Count Housing Consortium forgives a portion of the direct HOME 9 p Y 9 9 P subsidy for each year a homebuyer occupies a home during the period of affordability. The remaining balance is equal to the amount of the original HOME direct subsidy less the forgiven portion. The percentage forgiven is determined by the years of affordability: PERIOD OF PERCENT OF TOTAL SUBSIDY FORGIVEN ' AFFORDABILITY 5 years 20% every year for 5 years 10 years 10% every year for 10 years ' 15 years 1 9.33% every year for 15 years 20 years 5% every year for 20 years The amount of HOME funds subject to recapture under 24 CFR Part 92, Section 92.254, with respect to such Unit, will be determined as follows: 1. HOME funds expended for the development only of a specific affordable housing unit, with no additional HOME investment to assist the homebuyer, will not be recaptured upon the initial sale by the recipient of HOME funds of said unit, but will instead be subject to resale provisions. 2. The total HOME investment in the unit that is subject to recapture upon sale of the unit by the homeowner is that portion of the investment (direct subsidy) that reduced the buyer's investment from the fair market value (as determined by an independent appraisal of the after-rehab value) to an affordable price, enabling the buyer to purchase the unit. h 3. The Consortium will not recapture an amount that exceeds the net sale proceeds from the sale of the property. Net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment and any closing costs. The Consortium will recapture the outstanding balance based on the "Percent of Total Subsidy Forgiven" guidelines, however this amount will never. ' be greater than the net sale proceeds. If there are no net sale proceeds the Consortium will recapture zero. Resale Policy The resale provision ensures that HOME-assisted units remain affordable over the entire affordability period. This method is utilized when HOME funds are provided directly to a developer to reduce development costs, thereby making the price of the home affordable to the buyer. Referred to as a "development subsidy", these funds are not repaid by the developer to the PJ, but remain with the property for the length of the affordability period. The resale policy is explained to the prospective homebuyer(s) prior to signing a contract to purchase the HOME-assisted unit. The prospective homebuyer(s) sign an acknowledgement ' that they understand the terms and conditions applicable to the resale policy as they have a been explained. This document is included with the executed sales contract. (See attached Notification for Prospective Buyers). The resale policy is enforced through the use of a deed restriction signed by the homebuyer at closing. The deed restriction will specify: 1. The length of the affordability period; 2. That the home remain the buyer's principal residence throughout the affordability ' period; and 3. The conditions and obligations of the owner should the owner wish to sell before the end of the affordability period, including: ' a. The owner must contact the developer if intending to sell the home prior to the end of the affordability period; b. The subsequent purchaser must be at or below 80% of current South Bend- Mishawaka AMI and occupy the home as his/her primary residence for the iremaining years of the affordability period; and c. The sales price must be affordable to the subsequent purchaser. "Affordable" is defined as limiting the principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) amount to ' no more than 30% of the new purchaser's gross monthly income. The Consortium will ensure that the owner receives a fair return on his/her investment and that the home will continue to be affordable. "Fair return on investment" is defined as total ' homeowner investment, which is the total cash contribution plus approved capital improvements as described below: ' 1. The amount of the down payment; 2. The cost of capital improvements, documented with receipts provided by.the. homeowner, including but not limited to: ' a. Any additions to the home such as a bedroom, bathroom or garage; b. Replacement of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; c. Accessibility improvements such as bathroom .modifications for disabled or elderly; installation of wheel chair ramps and grab bars, any and all of which must have been paid for directly by the owner and which were not installed through .a federal, state or local-funded grant program; and d. Outdoor improvements such as a new driveway, walkway, retaining wall or fence, ' Note: All capital improvements will be visually inspected to verify their existence, After inspection, the PJ will determine if the improvements qualify as capital improvements for the purpose of"Fair Return on Investment". 3. The percentage of change as calculated by the Housing Price Index (HPI) Calculator of ' the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The HPI Calculator can be found at http•//www fhfa gov/DataTools/Tools/Pages/HPI-Calculator.aspx and projects what a house purchased.at a point in time would be worth today if it appreciated at the average ' appreciation rate of all homes in the area. The calculation will be performed for the South Bend-Mishawaka Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The Consortium will ensure continued affordability to a range of buyers whose total household income does not exceed 80% AMI for the South Bend-Mishawaka MSA. Sale prices will be set such that the amount of principal, interest, taxes and insurance does not exceed 30% of the new buyer's annual income, yet provides a fair return on investment to ' the original buyer. Note: In certain circumstances, such as a declining housing market where home values are depreciating, the original homebuyer may not receive a return on his/her investment because the home sells for less or the same price as the original purchase price. i Adopted &phabtr 955 , 2015 by the St. Joseph .County Housing Consortium.
