Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary- 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Round Rock(the City) is a federal entitlement community under the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development's(HUD)Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program.As a
HUD entitlement community,the City is required to prepare an Annual Action Plan in order to
implement the CDBG program that funds housing,community development and economic development
within the community. The City of Round Rock Annual Action Plan covers the period from October 1,
2017 to September 30, 2018. The City of Round Rock will receive$605,539 in CDBG funds for the 2017-
2018 program year. This is the fourth year to implement the high priority needs that are identified in
the City of Round Rock Five Year Consolidated Plan (2014-2018). In this fourth year,Community
Development Block Grant funds are allocated to Public Services, Public Facilities and Improvements and
Program Administration. (see projects in Section AP 35)
During the development of this plan,the City held two public hearings to solicit input from residents and
social service providers in Round Rock. There were no comments received.The City will obligate up to
20%of the current year's allocation ($121,107.80)for eligible and reasonable planning administrative
costs. [25 CFR 570.200(g)]
The City will obligate up to 14%of the current year's allocation ($85,950)for public services [24 CFR
570.201(e)] and up to 66%($398,481)for public facility and infrastructure improvements[24 CFR
570.201(c)].
In addtion to funding caps, other federal requirements will be considered to determine if a project is
eligible for CDBG funding. Any project or activity must meet one of the three (3) National Objectives to
be eligible [24 CFR 570.200(a)]: 1) Benefit low to moderate income persons,or 2) Prevent slum or
blight; or 3) Meet an urgent need (per HUD's definition).
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.
Annual Action Plan 1
2017
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
The Action Plan defines the one-year activities in relationship to the five-year goals and objectives of the
Consolidated Plan covering Fiscal Years 2014-2018,submitted to HUD in October 2014. The Action Plan
provides a brief description of the programs and projects of the City of Round Rock in Fiscal Year 2017-
2018,as well as funding announcements for the CDBG program. The City established three priorities
based on the analysis of market and community conditions, and input from Round Rock residents and
service providers:
1. Public Facilities& Infrastructure
2. Public Services
3. Decent Affordable Housing
Furthermore,the City of Round Rock is using the three(3) main components of the HUD Outcome
Performance Measurement System:Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators.
The HUD Outcome Performance Measurement System offers three (3) possible objectives for each
activity: Decent housing,a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities.
The HUD's Performance Measurement System is closely related to the objectives.The program outcome
helps further refine the grantee's objective and is designed to capture the nature of the change or the
expected result of the objective that a grantee seeks to achieve. The three outcomes are:Availability,
Affordability and Sustainability.
There are some common indicators that will be reported for nearly all program activities. The four
common indicators are:
1.Amount of money leveraged from other Federal,State, local, and private sources, per activity.
2. Number of persons, households, businesses, units or beds assisted as appropriate.
3. Income levels of persons or households by 30 percent,50 percent, 60 percent,or 80 percent of
area median income.
4. Race,ethnicity,and disability rate for activities that currently report these data elements.
The City has been awarded CDBG funds in the amount of$605,539 for the 2017-2018 program
year. The City has an additional$150,000 from the general fund to fully fund social services projects
that exceed the 15%cap for public services. In accordance with the priorities identified and outlined in
the City's Consolidation Plan,two public facilities and improvement projects and four public
service programs were identified for PY17 allocations. The projects will serve low to moderate income
areas and households within the City. The Action Plan covers the period of October 1, 2017 through
Annual Action Plan 2
2017
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
September 30,2018. The projects meet national goals and supports ongoing efforts in the community
to address the growing population.
The City has developed these performance measures in accordance with the Final Rule for 24 CFR Parts
91.220 and 91 as well as utilizing IDIS to track the outputs and outcomes of each project and activity.
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 of Round Rock has a history of successful programs funded through the Community
Development Block Grant Program. Of importance to the health of the City,there have been programs
that address the condition of the housing stock. The City has funded CDBG projects which have
improved the overall quality of life and the community serving low-and moderate-income persons. The
City has also funded home repair activities targeting lower income and elderly households unable to
properly maintain their homes. During the upcoming year the City will continue to utilize viable
resources and successfully administer CDBG subrecipients that provide services aimed at helping low to
moderate income persons with housing/mortgage assistance and access to a food pantry to improve the
quality of life in the community.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

7. Summary
The Community Development Block Grant program is provided through the US Department of Housing
and Urban Development(HUD)Office of Community Planning and Development. Due to its size and
composition,the City of Round Rock is classified as an entitlement community. This means that Round
Rock does not apply for the CDBG program, but is awarded CDBG funds at level based on a HUD formula
involving population and demographics. In order to receive CDBG funds,the City must complete a
Consolidated Plan every five years and an Annual Action Plan, based on the Consolidated Plan that
details the uses of funds. Congress' primary objective for CDBG is to improve communities, principally
for low and moderate income persons by:
1. Providing Decent Housing,
2. Providing a Suitable Living Environment, and

As the lead agency/entity responsible for preparing the Consolidated Plan (CP)the City uses the CP as a guide for federal funding decisions for
the next five years. The CP is guided by three overarching goals that are applied according to a community's needs.The goals are:
• To provide decent housing by preserving the affordable housing stock, increasing the availability of affordable housing, reducing
discriminatory barriers, increasing the supply of supportive housing for those with special needs,and transitioning homeless persons and
families into housing.
• To provide a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods,greater integration of low-and moderate-income
residents throughout the City, increased housing opportunities, and reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods.
• To expand economic opportunities through more jobs paying self-sufficient wages, homeownership opportunities,development
activities that promote long-term community viability, and the empowerment of low-and moderate-income persons to achieve self-
sufficiency.
The overall priority for the investment of federal funds is to increase self-sufficiency and economic opportunity for lower income residents and
individuals with special needs so that they can achieve a reasonable standard of living.

Annual Plan. The CDBG Administrator works closely with local social service agencies and other City
agencies to coordinate resources delivered to eligible LMI households/residents. These efforts will
continue in the 2017-2018 plan year.
The City works with a wide variety of agencies, organizations and service providers to identify local
housing and service needs. On-going relationships,focused on specific needs designed to bring public
input into the Annual Action Plan,are another way the City utilizes outside organizations in the
consultation and development process.

public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1))

Tuesday of every month. At these networking meetings, non-profits, social service providers, public
housing agencies,and health and human service providers discuss the needs of their clients as well as
resources and services that their agency provides for the community. The City also works closely with
the Housing Authority of Round Rock who organizes resources from the federal government to address
the housing needs of City's lowest income households.

in addressing community needs,and establishes specific objectives that the City intends to initiate or complete during the following five-
year period.
3. Adoption of an Annual Action Plan,a plan covering a single year within a Consolidated Plan that sets forth specific projects and initiatives
that will be funded with CDBG funds during that year.
4. On occasion during the year, it might be necessary to change the use of the money already budgeted in an Annual Action Plan, or to
change the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan. In that case, a Substantial Amendment, as defined below,will be proposed,
considered and acted upon.
5. After a Program Year, defined below, is complete,a consolidated annual performance and evaluation report("CAPER") must be drafted
for public review and comment and then sent to HUD.

To leverage funds,the City has combined the CDBG Annual Allocation and General Funds to assist the social service funding process. By
combining these two processes,the City assures the funding of social service programs providing high priority needs with General Funds that
could not be funded with CDBG funds due to the 15%funding cap. This also eliminates the duplication of services. The process for selecting
projects for funding social services is as follows:the scoring team,consisting of Council members,an Assistant City Manager,City Finance staff
and CDBG staff, review agency applications using set criteria and performance measurement. Funding recommendations are presented to the
City Council through the budget process. Awarded agencies are contracted to deliver the specific services to residents of Round Rock.

Introduction
The Annual Action Plan reflects the City's funding priorities and identifies the projects that the City
proposed to implement with funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program. The funding is allocated according to the
community's highest priority needs.

Table 8—Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
Allocation priorities were based upon the Needs Assessment undertaken as part of the planning process
and demand for projects and services in the past.The City identified one low-to-moderate income
neighborhood where pedestrian transportation is minimal. The City has several areas that are without
sidewalks. Unfortunately,the need for infrastructure far exceeds the amount of CDBG funding
available. The primary obstacle to addressing underserved needs is the limited resources available to
address such needs throughout the City. The Social Services fund of 15%is also oversubscribed at far
beyond what is available. The City encourages CDBG applicants to seek other resources from other
public and private entities to leverage the limited amount of CDBG funds available.

Introduction
The Round Rock Housing Authority(RRHA)was established in 1966,with the first development built in
1972. Today,the Housing Authority owns 100 units and administers 209 Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers.The City of Round Rock(CORR) plans encourage more partnerships with RRHA through public
events/activities for low-mod families who are public housing residents. CORR will act as resource for
the RRHA to assist the public housing authority with capacity building as well as programming that is
associated with CDBG funds.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The Round Rock Housing Authority receives approximately$97,040 annually in Capital Fund Grant from
HUD to provide for the maintenance and renovation needs of its public housing stock,which it considers
to be in good condition. CORR plans to support the RRHA by providing administrative services that will
allow for environmental assessments to the RRHA capital improvement projects. The CORR plans to
increase their visibility at round tables that discuss public housing issues while offering resources/grant
announcements to assist with the need of public housing.
In an effort to address and improve the needs of public housing and resident initiatives,the City of
Round Rock will fund the Round Rock Housing Authority Neighborhood (RRHA)Outreach Center(NOC)
Program. The RRHA partnered with Round Rock ISD to employ retired educators to tutor/mentor
elementary and secondary children after school.CDBG funding was provided for the salaries of teachers
and a facilitator. The facilitator will work with families of the Housing Authority and will provide
resources to assist in growth development. An implemented reading program for the afterschool
tutoring program will increase reading levels with children that attend the NOC.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The RRHA is a five member board, including a resident board member,oversees the Round Rock
Housing Authority. The board is appointed by the CORR Mayor and City Council. The CORR employ their
affordable housing knowledge in selecting new board members when a position becomes available. The
CORR is invested in ensuring that selections made are in the best interest of the RRHA. Each board
member appointed by CORR Mayor and City Council posse management qualities that will ensure that
best business practices are deployed.
The CDBG staff will meet with RRHA to have brainstorm sessions in regards to the RRHA administered
Family Self Sufficiency Program and how to leverage programs and funds for homeownership. Staff will
provide affordable housing expertise, homeownership grant resources and programming initiatives
to promote self-sufficiency to the program participants. The FSS program serves families in the Housing

Choice Voucher(HCV)and Public Housing(PH) Programs. Present participants have completed the
following goals:
• obtaining or maintaining employment
• continuing to pursue higher education
• continue to maintain first time businesses with supportive mentorship and education
The unique value of the FSS program is that clients are able to receive supportive case management to
reach their individual goals towards self-sufficiency.
Currently there are no public housing homeownership initiatives in place either under the public housing
program or the Section 8 program. The CORR plans to encourage Affordable Housing Roundtables that
are conducted by the RRHA and include affordable housing builders, Housing Counseling non-profits and
banking institutions.
If the PHA is designated as troubled,describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
N/A-the Round Rock Housing Authority is no longer in "troubled status."
The Round Rock Housing Authority holds a "High Performer"status under HUD's Section Management
Assessment Program (SEMP);therefore, it is not designated as a "troubled"agency. Units are inspected,
repaired, and maintained on a regular basis. Per RRHA,the physical condition of its public housing stock
is considered to be in compliance with building standards according to their previous review per HUD.
"High Performer"status will allow RRHA to apply for additional programs and funding,allowing for an
increased level of service for families in the City of Round Rock.
Discussion
The housing authority continues to partner with several local agencies,faith-based organizations,the
City,and the school district in order to bring resources to residents.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities—91.220(i)
Introduction
The City of Round Rock and Williamson County are part of the Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care
(BoS CoC). The BoS CoC is part of the Texas Homeless Network(THN),a non-profit membership-based
organization helping Texas communities to prevent and end homelessness. THN is a 501(c)(3)
organization that is partially funded through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
and Texas Department of State Health Services.
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 City of Round Rock funds the Round Rock Area Serving Center with CDBG funds to assist residents in
jeopardy of becoming homeless with housing and mortgage assistance. Sometimes the loss of a job or
an illness can cause a family to fall behind on rent or mortgage which can lead to eviction. Funding the
housing/mortgage assistance program is an action and goal that will assist with reducing homelessness.
The following agencies reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual needs such as the need
for temporary shelter,transitional housing and other services:
• The Williamson County Crisis Center(Hope Alliance)offers two housing programs to assist
its clients.They offer a short-term,transitional housing program that helps families who are
transitioning out of the shelter and a longterm, supporting housing program.
• STARRY Emergency Shelter serves children who need immediate protection,typically after
being removed from their home by court order due to life-threatening abuse or neglect.
• Lifeworks provides emergency shelter and transitional housing as well as
counseling, education/workforce and youth development to youth and their families.
• Round Rock Area Serving Center provides emergency shelter,food and clothing vouchers,
as well as mortgage and utility assistance, in an effort to prevent homelessness.
• CASA provides trained,court-appointed volunteers to advocate in the best interest of abused
and neglected children on their journey to a safe, permanent home.
The City of Round Rock will join Texas Homeless Network in participating the Point-In-Time survey to
Annual Action Plan 36
2017
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
collect the count of the city's homeless population.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Hope Alliance and Williamson Burnet Counties Opportunities(WBCO)were both awarded Emergency
Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)Grants from FEMA. Hope Alliance is using these funds to provide
emergency shelter, purchase food and aid toward the purchase of bedding and cleaning supplies and
other like items for the domestic violence shelter. WBCO is using the EFSP funds to purchase food for
the Senior Nutrition Program.
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 City of Round Rock will continue to fund the Round Rock Area Serving Center for program year
2017-2018. Funding will be used to purchase food for the food pantry at the Round Rock Area Serving
Center. The Round Rock Area Serving Center assists over 1,000 households with food every program
year. To prevent homelessness, CDBG funding will allocate funding to the Round Rock Area Serving
Center to provide mortgage and rent assistance to the residents of Round Rock.
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.
Homelessness is a regional issue and is best addressed countywide through the efforts of both
Williamson and Travis Counties and local jurisdictions. Since Round Rock's emergency shelter only
provides temporary facilities for displaced women and children,the City will work with area providers
such as Bluebonnet Trails MHMR to address its share of the homeless need through facilities and
services provided at the regional level.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing —91.220(j)
Introduction
The City of Round Rock CDBG Program is currently working with other local entitlements, participating
jurisdictions and housing authorities to develop the AFFH due January 2019. CDBG staff will enter into a
interlocal agreement with other cities/housing authorities and prepare a scope of work for
procurement. The largest entitlement/participating jurisdiction will undertake the procurement
process.
In 2000, consultants from the University of Texas prepared a report titled "Analysis of Impediments to
Fair Housing, Round Rock,Texas" (AI). This document provided a comprehensive review of the City's
administrative and judicial policies. This study's assessment of the location,availability,and accessibility
of housing will assist in planning to address impediments to fair and affordable housing. This analysis
profiled the housing market in Round Rock,addressed housing affordability, physical condition of
housing stock, and public housing. Barriers to affordable housing identified through the City's citizen
participation process were:
• Lack of options
• Lack of transitional support, assistance needed for move-in costs/deposits
• Land prices
• Lack of community involvement and creativity in problem solving
• Negative neighborhood perception regarding low income housing
• Lack of public transportation
Identified policies impacting the development of affordable housing included the following:
• Inflexible development standards
• Lack of incentives for developers to construct affordable housing
• High development fees
The City of Round Rock CDBG staff refers anyone needing to file a housing discrimination complaint or
needing information on fair housing to the Austin Tenants Council. The Austin Tenants Council Fair
Housing Program helps any person who has been discriminated against in the rental,sale,financing or
appraisal of housing. The state and federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination because of a
person's race,color, national origin, religion, sex,disability(mental or physical)or familial status. The
Fair Housing Program documents and investigates complaints;provides advice about remedies under
fair housing laws,and coordinates legal services to assist victims of housing discrimination. The Fair

Housing Program provides fair housing seminars and presentations to interested parties.
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
The CDBG staff will strategize with internal departments to develop strategies that will assist in
the removal of barriers to affordable housing. The CDBG staff will enlist industry and subject matter
experts to brainstorm ideas in developing a comprehensive plan for affordable housing.

Introduction
The City of Round Rock will continue to work with partners in the region to improve the housing and
employment opportunities for low and moderate income persons and other special populations.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Despite ongoing efforts,there still remains a number of significant obstacles to meeting underserved
needs. The following obstacles to meeting these needs in Round Rock include:
• Population growth
• Cut backs in state and federal funding for basic needs and services
• High cost of housing
• Need for transportation to existing services and childcare available services
To address these needs,the City of Round Rock dedicated CDBG funds to the following:
• Round Rock Area Serving Center for the purchase and distribution of food and to provide rent
and mortgage assistance
• Round Rock Housing Authority to pay for partial salaries for the resident
services coordinator/facilitator and teachers at the Neighborhood Outreach Center(NOC)at the
Round Rock Housing Authority.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City of Round Rock will support two programs in FY 17 (2017-2018)that support affordable
housing. These include the housing assistance program through the Round Rock Area Serving Center
(RRASC)to assist residents with rent or mortgage at$100 a household,and a program through Habitat
for Humanity for the minor home repair of low income residents of Round Rock up to$10,000 per
unit. Funds will be spent on the purchase of materials and volunteers will do the actual home repairs. A
plumber or electrician will be hired if needed.
Habitat for Humanity will be funded by FY13 CDBG funds.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The CDBG program has procedures in place to comply with the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard
Annual Action Plan 41
2017
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X)and subsequent changes in September 1999.These procedures include
notification, identification, and treatment(if necessary).
Most of the development in Round Rock occurred after the use of the lead based paint was
banned. HUD estimates that as many as 540 housing units in Round Rock built prior to 1978 and
occupied by extremely low, low and moderate income households could contain lead-based paint.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City's anti-poverty strategy is based on attracting a range of businesses and providing workforce
development including job training services for low income residents.
Planned economic development and anti-poverty programs include:
• Friendly Rock Program to assist residents with utility bills
• Food Pantry Program provides residents access to food
• Foundation Communities Tax Center provides free tax preparation
• YMCA provides after school and summer scholarship dollars to low and moderate income
families in Round Rock
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City relies on a network of public sector, private sector, and non-profit organizations to implement
the Strategic Plan, particularly to address homelessness and special needs.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
In an effort to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies,the
City of Round Rock CDBG staff will continue to attend the Williamson County Monthly Networking
Meetings. These meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month at the Alan R. Baca Senior
Center. Collaboration and coordination between agencies is important to ensure that the needs in the
community are being addressed.
Discussion
The City of Round Rock,Office of Community Development is responsible for the administration of the
City's programs funded with CDBG funds. This office has the primary responsibility for managing and
implementing the City's affordable housing and infrastructure program,the Consolidated and Annual
Plans and related documents.
The City of Round Rock has developed a monitoring system to ensure that the activities carried out in
Annual Action Plan 42
2017
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
the Plan are done so in a timely manner in accordance with the federal monitoring requirements of[24
CFR 570.501 (v)] and [24 CFR 85.40] and all other applicable laws, regulations, policies and sound
management and accounting practices.
Sub-recipients are monitored to ensure that they have implemented and administered their CDBG
funded activities according to applicable federal requirements. Particular attention is paid to
compliance with management systems, procurement practices and compliance with civil rights
requirements.
When applicable,sub-recipients are required to submit copies of paid receipts,timesheets, income
documentation, client data and self-certification forms with their monthly requests. This information is
used to determine the number of unduplicated beneficiaries. Monthly reports are submitted by each
sub-recipient enabling staff to monitor the progress of each activity, provide technical assistance or
consultation when needed and to ensure that all objectives are met.
The City of Round Rock conducts monitoring of sub-recipients every program year during the
summer. Particular attention is paid to compliance with eligibility and national objective
requirements. The HUD monitoring checklist is used during these on-site monitoring visits. The
monitoring visits are conducted by the CDBG Program Coordinator. Technical assistance is provided for
sub-recipients at the beginning of the program year and anytime during the program year upon request.
Throughout the year,staff conducts mini desk reviews of all sub-recipients. Sub-recipients are required
to submit monthly progress reports and reimbursement requests by the 15th of every month. This
allows the City to monitor the sub-recipient's progress and spending on a monthly basis.
The City of Round Rock Office of Community Development maintains an open door policy for all
agencies and frequent unofficial visits are made at participating agencies throughout the year.

Citizen Participation--It is in full compliance and following a detailed citizen participation plan that
satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
Community Development Plan--Its consolidated plan identifies community development and housing
needs and specifies both short-term and long-term community development objectives that that have been
developed in accordance with the primary objective of the CDBG program(i.e.,the development of
viable urban communities,by providing decent housing and expanding economic opportunities,primarily
for persons of low and moderate income)and requirements of 24 CFR Parts 91 and 570.
Following a Plan--It is following a current consolidated plan that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds--It has complied with the following criteria:
1.Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG
funds, it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which
benefit low-and moderate-income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight. The Action Plan may also include CDBG-assisted activities which the grantee certifies

existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community,
and other financial resources are not available(see Optional CDBG Certification).
2.Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds, including Section 108 guaranteed loans,
during program year(s) 2017-2018 [a period specified by the grantee of one,

assisted with CDBG funds,including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds,by assessing any
amount against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income,

improvements.
However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the
capital costs of public improvements(assisted in part with CDBG funds)financed from other
revenue sources,an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
In addition,in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate-income(not low-income)
families,an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements
financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds
to cover the assessment.
Excessive Force--It has adopted and is enforcing:
1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its
jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations;and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or
exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such non-violent civil rights demonstrations
within its jurisdiction.
Compliance with Anti-discrimination laws--The grant will be conducted and administered in
conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964(42 U.S.C.2000d)and the Fair Housing Act(42
U.S.C. 3601-3619)and implementing regulations.
