inform the public about upcoming funding amounts and how to apply for grants, and to receiv e
community input on grant funding needs . As part of this hearing, the HRC developed
recommended priorities for funding considerations .

City of SLO CDBG Administration $45,85 0
Total $573,125
The total funding requested during the 2012 CDBG application process was $917,285, whic h
amounts to approximately 38% more than anticipated available funding . Attachment 1 includes a
list of the applications submitted to the City for CDBG funding and the recommended fundin g
amounts . Attachment 2 includes the December 7, 2011, HRC staff report with a description of eac h
funding request, followed by the meeting minutes as Attachment 3 .
The CAPSLO request for the Maxine Lewis Homeless Shelter is for a total of $144,753, which i s
slightly more than requested for the past several years . In the past, the City has chosen to provid e
100% of the CDBG public services allowance to the shelter to maximize the benefit of these funds .
This year, the total is anticipated to be $85,969 (15% of the City's CDBG allocation). The City ca n
PHI-2
2012 CDBG Funding Recommendations Page 3
augment this with $45,000 budgeted from the General Fund for the shelter during the 2012-201 3
fiscal year, which leaves a $13,784 funding gap . CAPSLO has been advised that CDBG an d
General Fund sources will not completely meet their request of $144,753 . Staff recommended tha t
they complete a Grants-in-Aid request or seek outside funding to make up the difference .
2012 Federal Budget Reduction s
Preliminary CDBG funding estimates are provided by the County based on available informatio n
from the U .S . Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during 2011 . The recentl y
adopted 2012 Federal budget includes a 12% reduction in CDBG funding from the 2011 Progra m
Year . This 12% reduction is not likely to be an across the board reduction and it is not known at thi s
time what impact this will have on the City's 2012 Program Year allocation . Due to the uncertaint y
of HUD's final funding allocation amount to the County, funding could increase or decrease onc e
HUD releases its allocations in the spring . Staff will keep Council up to date when mor e
information is known about the impact of budget reduction on the City's allocation .
Reallocation of Prior Year CDBG Fund s
In 2008, the City was awarded $403,112 in CDBG funds for Curb Ramp ADA Stree t
Improvements . This project is complete and staff and the HRC recommend reallocating th e
remaining $7,979 of the award to the property acquisition project for affordable housing at 31 3
South Street .
In 2009, the City was awarded $264,246 for Santa Rosa Park ADA Improvements . This project i s
also complete and staff and the HRC also recommend reallocating the remaining $34,882 of th e
award to the property acquisition project for affordable housing at 313 South Street .
In 2010, the City was awarded $81,790 for Housing Element Implementation . Due to th e
temporary vacancy of the Housing Programs Manager position during this program year, a balanc e
of $20,040 remains . Staff and the HRC recommend reallocating the remaining $20,040 of th e
award to the property acquisition project for affordable housing at 313 South Street .
In 2010, ROEM Corporation was awarded $150,000 for Property Acquisition for Affordabl e
Housing at 2201 Emily Street . The 2201 Emily Street project is under construction and nearin g
completion . Funding allocated to this project was not needed for property acquisition . Staff and th e
HRC recommend reallocating the remaining $150,000 of the award to the property acquisitio n
project for affordable housing at 313 South Street .

$212,90 1
Total To $212,901
Staff is recommending funding reallocations to Property Acquisition for Affordable Housing (31 3
South) because it fulfills an important CDBG funding priority established by Council to develop
housing affordable to low and very-low income persons . In addition, the project would involv e
implementation of Housing Element Program 6 .12, which specifically identifies the site as a
location that should be considered for rezoning to allow infill housing .
The project includes 42 for-rent apartment units 100% affordable to extremely-low, very-low, an d
low income households earning 30% to 60% of area median income within the County . The project
has received all necessary entitlements, including a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning an d
Architectural Review . This project has received multi-year CDBG funding in order to acquir e
enough money for acquisition . The applicants are proposing to apply in March 2012 to th e
California Tax Credit Allocation Committee for 9% tax credits to help fund the project . The fundin g
reallocations will assist the project's score on the competitive application . Property acquisitio n
could occur in fall 2012, after 2012 CDBG Program Year funds become available .
Next Step s
The 2012 CDBG funding recommendations adopted by the City Council will be forwarded to th e
County Board of Supervisors for inclusion in the 2012 Urban County Action Plan, which include s
funding allocations for all of the participating jurisdictions . Although the CDBG fiscal year begin s
on July 1, 2012, funds for projects awarded by the City Council are not expected to be availabl e
until October 2012 .
FISCAL IMPAC T
Decisions made regarding CDBG funding determine how the limited pool of funds the City receive s
through the Urban County allocation process is spent . To the extent that projects are funde d
through CDBG, the burden on the City's General Fund to pay for those projects is reduced . As a
result, projects that receive CDBG funding have a positive fiscal impact on the City if the y
otherwise would have been paid for out of the General Fund . The amount of funding available fo r
2012 is an estimate based on current year funding . If the amount awarded to the City is differen t
than the amounts shown, staff will recommend adjustments to the allocations .
ALTERNATIVE S
1.
The Council may modify the proposed funding amounts .
2.
The Council may choose to fund a CDBG application not recommended by the HRC o r
staff.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
TO :
Human Relations Commission
VIA :
Kim Murry, Deputy Community Development Directo r
FROM :
Tyler Corey, Housing Programs Manage r
MEETING DATE : November 16, 201 1
SUBJECT :
Item #1 : Overview and discussion of 2012 CDBG applications .
Situation
On October 4, 2011, the City Council endorsed the HRC's recommended Communit y
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding priorities for 2012 . The priorities established by th e
HRC and City Council are listed below :
1.Emergency and transitional shelter, homelessness prevention and services .
2.Develop and enhance affordable housing for low and very-low income persons .
3.Economic development (to include seismic retrofit, economic stability, low and moderat e
income jobs).
4.Promote accessibility and/or removal of architectural barriers for the disabled and elderly .
2012 CDBG Application s
The above priorities are used as the basis for making recommendations regarding the 201 2
CDBG applications . The City received a total of 12 CDBG funding applications requestin g
$917,285 . Expected funding for the 2012 Program Year is $573,124 . The following discussion
provides a brief overview of each funding request and evaluates the proposals for consistenc y
with funding priorities . This recommendation is also summarized in a spreadsheet, which is
included as Attachment 1 . A copy of each of the 2012 CDBG applications is provided for HR C
review . Those applications not recommended for funding also have the opportunity to apply fo r
the City's Grants-In-Aid funds .
Project Overview and Preliminary Funding Recommendation s
1 . Maxine Lewis Homeless Shelter (CAPSLO):The CAPSLO request for the homeles s
shelter is for $144,753 . The City is limited to using 15% of its allocation for public service s
uses . In the past, the City has chosen to provide 100% of this allowance to the shelter t o
maximize the benefit of these funds . This year, the total is anticipated to be $85,969 (15% of
PHI-7
Attachment 2
HRC Memorandum, 2012 CDBG Applications Worksho p
Page 2
the City's CDBG allocation). The City has budgeted $45,000 from the General Fund for th e
shelter during the 2011-2012 fiscal year . In order to fully fund CAPSLO's request, th e
Council would have to authorize $58,784 from the General Fund in fiscal year 2012-2013 ,
which is $13,784 more than the current General Fund support .
2.Prado Day Center (CAPSLO):The CAPSLO request for $59,907 cannot be met by CDB G
funding if the City allocates all of the Public Services allowance to the homeless shelter, a s
proposed . The City normally supports operations at the Prado Day Center through a
contribution from the General Fund . In the 2011-2012 financial plan, the City allocate d
$60,000 to the Prado Day Center from the General Fund, which would fully fund the 201 2
CAPSLO request.
3.Transitional Food and Shelter :Transitional Food and Shelter has requested $1,000 t o
support their operations of providing emergency shelter for the medically fragile an d
homeless . These funds would come from the limited pool of funds available to suppor t
public services . Although this request meets Council adopted priority one, City staff does no t
support using CDBG funds to support this activity because it would reduce the amount o f
funding available for the homeless shelter, which matches the City's funding priorities mor e
closely. It should be noted that this activity has been successful in receiving grant fundin g
from the City's Grants-In-Aid program for the past several years .
4.Alliance for Pharmaceutical Access : Alliance for Pharmaceutical Access has requeste d
$7,000 to support their operations of providing access to prescription medications for chroni c
medical conditions to targeted populations . These funds would come from the limited pool o f
funds available to support public services . The preliminary recommendation from staff doe s
not allocate CDBG funds to this project because it would reduce the amount of funding
available for the homeless shelter, which matches the City's funding priorities more closely .
It should be noted that this activity has been successful in receiving grant funding from th e
City's Grants-In-Aid program for the past several years .
5.Transitional Food and Shelter (Property Acquisition ; 7860 Sinaloa, Atascadero):
Transitional Food and Shelter has requested $70,000 for the acquisition of property located i n
the City of Atascadero for transitional housing for the medically fragile and homeless . City
staff does not support using CDBG funds to support this activity because the property is no t
located within or adjacent to the City of San Luis Obispo, and these funds would come fro m
the pool of funds available to support housing, public facilities and economic development ,
thereby precluding other high-priority projects within City limits from receiving funding .
6.Tri-Counties Housing Corporation (Property Acquisition and Rehabilitation ; 542
Hathway):Tri-Counties Housing Corporation has requested $95,000 for the acquisition an d
rehabilitation of a three-unit apartment project consisting of two one (1) bedroom units and
one (1) studio unit . These units have been utilized as affordable housing for extremely-lo w
income individuals with developmental disabilities for the past seven years . The project
PHI-8
Attachment 2
HRC Memorandum, 2012 CDBG Applications Worksho p
Page 3
meets the second priority for use of CDBG funds and staff is recommending funding of thi s
proposal in the amount of $95,000 .
7.Habitat for Humanity for SLO County (Site Clearance and Remediation ; 321 2
Rockview):Habitat for Humanity (HFH) has requested $30,000 to clear and remediat e
property located on 3212 Rockview in preparation for the construction of three single-famil y
homes for very-low income families . HFH received $211,217 in CDBG funds from the 201 1
Program Year to acquire the property. The project meets the City's second priority for use o f
CDBG funds and staff is recommending funding of this proposal in the amount of $30,000 .
8.ROEM Development Corporation (Property Acquisition ; 313 South Street): ROEM
Development Corporation has requested $300,000 to acquire property for the construction o f
a 43-unit (42 affordable housing rental units and 1 manager unit) apartment complex withi n
four three-story buildings . The units would be available for rent to extremely-low, very-lo w
and low-income households earning 30% to 60% of the AMI within the County .
ROEM Corporation will be applying to the State of California for tax credits during 2012 an d
CDBG funding will assist the developer's tax credit application . The project has receive d
public assistance commitments from a variety of sources including CDBG, HOME, Cit y
Affordable Housing Fund and development review and impact fee waivers for a combine d
total of committed funding of $2,293,729 . Local support is necessary for the project to b e
competitive on a State-wide basis . The project meets the second priority for use of CDB G
funds and staff is recommending funding of this proposal in the amount of $270,04 8
($82,531 from Program Year 2012 and $187,517 from previous year reallocations). Fully
funding the request would use most of the funds available for housing, public facilities an d
economic development and preclude other high-priority projects with impending timeline s
from receiving funding .
9.City of SLO (Curb Ramps):The City of San Luis Obispo, Public Works Department, i s
requesting $105,000 for curb ramp projects to remove architectural barriers for disabled an d
elderly persons . As the Public Works Department moves through various neighborhoods an d
re-paves streets, the City is required to upgrade each curb ramp to current ADA standards .
The project is consistent with the Council adopted priority four and staff is recommendin g
funding of this program in the amount of $105,000 .
10.CAPSLO Homeless Services Campus :CAPSLO is requesting $50,000 to help fund pre-
develppment costs for the design and construction of a new homeless services campus to b e
located adjacent to the Department of Social Services on 3451 South Higuera Street . Th e
campus would combine services currently provided at the Maxine Lewis Homeless Shelte r
and the Prado Day Center, consistent with the concepts of the 10-Year Plan to End Chroni c
Homelessness . CAPSLO received $25,000 in CDBG funds from the 2011 Program Year t o
assist with pre-development costs . The project is consistent with Council's top priority fo r
CDBG funding and staff is recommending funding of this proposal in the amount of $50,000 .
PHI -9
Attachment 2
HRC Memorandum, 2012 CDBG Applications Worksho p
Page 4
11.MCSC : Mission Community Services Corporation is requesting $10,000 in CDBG fundin g
for the Women's Business Center Program . The project would fall under the economi c
development category, which corresponds to the third funding priority adopted by the City
Council . Although the program will have a focus on women-owned business and wome n
entrepreneurs, the program would provide training for any income-eligible client, consisten t
with the Small Business Administration program guidelines . The proposed training woul d
occur within the City of San Luis Obispo, in offices located at 71 Zaca Lane, Suite 130 .
MCSC received $10,000 in CDBG funds for the Women's Business Center Program from th e
2010 Program Year . Staff is recommending funding of this proposal in the amount o f
$10,000 .
12.City of SLO (Program Administration, Implementation of Housing Element): HUD
allows up to 20% of the City's CDBG allocation ($114,625) to be used for progra m
administration . CDBG administration and Housing Element implementation are both eligibl e
activities . Activities accomplished with this funding include processing CDBG applications ,
completing environmental clearances, preparing contracts, preparing quarterly reports an d
monitoring projects as they progress . Implementation of the Housing Element is anothe r
function that is proposed to be funded through the CDBG administration program . These
activities include administration of the Affordable Housing Fund, administration of the City's
affordable housing stock, implementation of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance an d
implementation of various Housing Element programs . These activities are consistent with
the Council's first two priorities because they further affordable housing opportunities in th e
City. All of these functions are carried out by the City's Housing Programs Manage r
position. The preliminary staff recommendation is to continue funding this position wit h
CDBG funds .
HRC Rol e
These preliminary recommendations are provided for the benefit of the HRC . The HRC's role i s
to consider these recommendations and either (1) accept the allocations proposed if the HR C
concurs, or (2) make changes so that the recommendation reflects the views of a majority of th e
Commission . The adopted priorities should guide the Commission throughout the discussion .
The November 16 `h HRC meeting is scheduled as a workshop to provide the HRC with an
opportunity to discuss these applications and ask questions of staff. A public hearing i s
scheduled on December 7 `h for the HRC to receive public testimony and finalize thei r
recommendation .
The HRC's recommended allocations will be forwarded to the County for incorporation into th e
Draft Action Plan for the 2012 CDBG program year . The entire Draft Action Plan will b e
considered by the Council in February, 2012 .
