Consolidated Plan vi 2009-2013
City of Round Rock
1. Introduction
The Consolidated Plan is a five-
year plan required by the US
Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) that
serves as a comprehensive
strategy to address the needs of
low and moderate income
residents in Round Rock. The
plan identifies community needs
and provides a strategy to
address those needs using
Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds as well as
other City and federal resources.
This section provides information
regarding the Consolidated Plan
process, community involvement
in the plan, and additional
resources for detailed information
on local needs.
Round Rock is located in central
Texas between the capital,
Austin, and the county seat,
Georgetown.
Round Rock is a rapidly growing
community with current year
2009 population of 89,321. With a
projected annual growth rate of
4.57% the population will be
111,664 by 2014. The 2000 Census
counted the city's population at
61,136. A family oriented
community, the City has many
parks, a hike and bike trail
system, an award winning school
system, minor league baseball,
and a commitment to becoming
known as the Sports Capital of
Texas.
Though predominately White, the
City is becoming increasingly
diverse and urbanized.
The City of Round Rock Office of
Community Development within
the Planning Department serves
as the lead agency for the
Consolidated Plan and
administration of CDBG funds.
The Consolidated Plan serves as
an application to HUD for the
CDBG funds. The Consolidated
Plan must be submitted to HUD
45 days prior to the start of the
City's fiscal year, which begins on
October 1.
In addition to the Consolidated
Plan, the City must prepare an
Action Plan which describes how
funds will be spent each year to
address the needs identified in
the Consolidated Plan. The
Action Plan is also due 45 days
prior to the start of the new fiscal
year.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 1
City of Round Rock
For accountability, the City
prepares a Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Report
(CAPER) which is submitted to
HUD 90 days after the end of the
fiscal year. (refer to Table 1-1)

The City published notice in the
local newspaper of three public
hearings to solicit input from
residents and social services
providers on the needs in Round
Rock on the following dates and
locations:
• 2/17/09: McConico
Community Room
• 3/5/09: Community
Development Advisory
Commission
• 3/12/09: City Council
Fifteen service provider
organizations and attended the
meetings. Comments from the
meetings are included in
Appendix A.
According to responses received,
the key needs of low and
moderate income persons in
Round Rock are:
• Affordable single family
homes
• Youth programs
• Temporary/emergency
housing
• Adult day care
• Affordable housing for
senior citizens
• Home repair loans
• Health services
• Economic development
opportunities
• Battered and abused
women services
• Land acquisition for
development of
affordable housing
Opportunities for public input on
the Consolidated Plan are
available during the pubic review
period from June 15 through July
15, 2009. A public hearing will be
held by City Council prior to
adoption of the Consolidated
Plan in July, 2009.
A number of housing,
community, and social services
providers and public agencies
were consulted for the
preparation of the Plan. These
included:
• Round Rock Housing
Authority
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 2
City of Round Rock
• Local social service
providers
• Various civic groups
• Round Rock Senior Center
• Various state agencies
A number of data sources were
used in the preparation of the
Consolidated Plan. These
included:
• City of Round Rock
General Plan
• City of Round Rock
Strategic Plan
• 2000 Census
• 1999 Census
• ESRI forecasts for 2009 and
2014
• City Departments
• Local service providers
Income definitions provided by
HUD are used as the basis for
determining eligibility for
participants. Those persons or
households with an income less
than 80 percent of the area
median income (AMI) fall within
the "target income" for purposes
of the goals, policies, and
programs of the Consolidated
Plan.

The CDBG program requires that
each CDBG funded activity must
either principally benefit low- and
moderate -income persons, aid in
the prevention or elimination of
slums or blight, or meet a
community development need
having a particular urgency
because existing conditions pose
a serious and immediate threat
to the health or welfare of the
community and other financial
resources are not available to
meet that need. With respect to
activities that principally benefit
low- and moderate -income
persons, at least 51 percent of
the activity's beneficiaries must
be low and moderate income.
However, in some communities,
such as Round Rock, there are
none or very few areas in which
51 percent of the residents are
low and moderate income. For
these grantees, the CDBG law
authorizes an exception criterion
in order for such grantees to be
able to undertake area benefit
activities.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 3
City of Round Rock
For Round Rock, the low -
moderate Income threshold for
any area beneM activity is 47.4%.
Section 105(c) (2) (A) (ii) at 24 CFR
570.208(a) (1 ) (ii), identifies the
methodology to calculate a
grantee's "exception" threshold.
The Consolidated Plan contains a
summary of housing and
community development needs.

Affordable housing is a major
need for target income
households (0-80% AMI). The
following information identifies
housing characteristics, trends,
and needs in Round Rock.
Housing Growth
• In 2000, Round Rock had
21,658 housing units.
• By 2009„ 20,174 single
family housing units had
been permitted or built.
• By 2009, 10,041 rental units
had been permitted or
built
• Projected housing need
between 2009 and 2014 is
1,500 additional units per
year.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 13
City of Round Rock
Housing Type, Tenure, and
Vacancy Rate
• 62% of units are owner -
occupied.
• 34% of units are renter
occupied.
• Housing types in Round
Rock:
• Single family detached
69%
• Single-family attached
4.5%
• Multi -family units 21.6%
• Duplexes 3.8%
• <1.% Mobile homes
• Vacancy rate in 2000 was:
• Owner -occupied units
1%
• Renter -occupied units
3.5%
Lead -Based Paint Hazards
Lead-based paint in residential
units can pose severe health risks
for children. Texas requires public
health organizations to identify
children at risk of lead poisoning
and that the general population
lead level is monitored with
particular attention to children up
to the age of six. No cases of
elevated lead blood (EBL) have
been reported for children six
years old or younger. This
information is tracked through
the Williamson Counties and
Cities Health District and the
Round Rock Health Clinic.
HUD provides a general formula
to estimate the potential
presence of lead-based paint
(LBP) in housing units built prior to
1978. Any housing unit under
construction in January, 1978 is
subject to LBP rules, but
construction completed by
January 1978 is exempt.
Round Rock is establishing lead-
based paint procedures I
accordance with the Residential
Lead -Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act (Title X) and the
new regulations adopted in 1999,
as part of its new Housing
Rehabilitation and Minor Home
Repair Programs.

NOTE: Used 80% of median income
figure for Round Rock. Based on this
information, 35% (rounded) of owner
households and 28% (rounded) of renter
households had incomes less than 80% of
area median. These percentages were
applied to the tenure by age of structure
table (H#A) to determine possible LBP
units.

Housing Costs
• 2009 Median home price
in Round Rock was
$199,926.
• 2009 Median rent by
bedroom size in Round
Rock is:
• One -bedroom = $749
• Two-bedroom = $912
• Three-bedroom=$1,228
Affordability
• Single-family home prices
are not affordable to
target households.
• A low -moderate income
(51-80% AMI) household of
four can afford
approximately $139,490.
• A very low income (50%
AMI) household of four
can afford approximately
$68,150.
• Median home sales price
for a new three bedroom
home in 2009 was
$199,926.
• The majority of rental rates
are not affordable to
lower income households.
• A low -moderate income
household of four can
afford a rent of $830 per
month. (80%AMI)
• 50% AMI household of four
can afford $380.00
• Low income and many
moderate income
households need
assistance in order to
afford housing in Round
Rock.
Note: Used 2009 AMI to calculate
affordability, assuming a 30 year note at
7% interest, 30% housing ratio, and 35%
debt -to -income ratio. Rent assumptions
are for a 3 bedroom apartment.
Currently the City of Round Rock
is under the 2006 International
Building Code (ICC) which
includes the Mechanical,
Plumbing and Fire Code. The City
has also adopted the 2008
National Electric Code (NEC).
Substandard housing is defined
as housing that does not meet
current building codes adopted
by the City of Round Rock.
This type of housing may be
suitable for rehabilitation if the
cost to rehab the property does
not exceed 40% of the current
appraised value. The
homeowners must meet the
current low to moderate income
limits.
Overpayment
According to HUD, a household
that pays more than 30 percent
of its income on housing is
defined as having a housing cost
burden (overpayment).
Overpayment is a concern for
target income households since
they may be forced to cut
necessary expenditures such as
health care in order to afford
housing.
• 15.9% of owners paid more
than 30% of income on
housing.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 15
City of Round Rock
• 39.2% of renters paid more
than 30% of income on
housing.
• 40% of renters paid
between $750-$999 for
rent.
• 74% of households with
earning less than $20,000
had a housing cost
burden.2
• 76% of households earning
between $35,000 and
$50,000 had a housing
cost burden.
• Lack of affordable entry-
level housing is one factor
that contributes to high
housing cost burden
among target income
households.
Overcrowding
Overcrowding is defined by the
Census as more than one person
per room excluding kitchen,
porches, bathrooms, and
hallways. Overcrowding is
relatively low in Round Rock.
• Owner households 3%
• Renter Households 10%
Public and Assisted Housing
• The City does not own or
operate any public or
assisted housing.
• Public housing is owned by
the Round Rock Housing
Authority.
• Lancehaven, 30 units,
built in 1972
2 Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy data (CHAS)
• Cushing, 30 elderly
units, built in 1975
• Westwood, 28 units,
built in 1983.
• Twelve scattered sites,
single family residences
• No assisted affordable
housing projects are at risk
of conversion to market
rate rents within the next
five years.
• All public housing units are
over 30 years old, but in
good condition.
• Round Rock Housing
Authority (RRHA) is
consistently rated "high
performing" by HUD for
property maintenance.
• RRHA has developed
housing plan for disposition
of twelve scattered sites.
Funds will be used to
purchase land to build
more public housing.
Section 504 Needs Assessment
Section 504 prohibits
discrimination on the basis of
disability in any program or
activity that receives financial
assistance from any federal
agency, including the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). The
RRHA accommodates persons
with disabilities with handicap
housing units at each property
location.
Tenant Based Housing Assistance
(Section 8)
The Housing Choice (Section 8)
Voucher Program provides
2009-2013 Consolidated Pian 16
City of Round Rock
portable vouchers that assist low
income households with housing
costs. The Round Rock Housing
Authority has 76 vouchers and
administers 125 portable
vouchers.
The Housing Authority started a
program in 2004 to convert
vouchers into homeownership for
tenants who are ready to
purchase a home and make
mortgage payments. This
program involves core
homeownership training, credit
counseling, and mentoring.
Vouchers will be used to make
mortgage payments for ten years
and then terminated as the
participant becomes self-
sufficient.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
Potential barriers or constraints to
the development of affordable
housing include:
• Availability of sites for
multi -family housing
• Environmental constraints
• Development standards
• Development fees
• Availability of funding for
affordable housing
• High cost of housing
• High cost of land
The cost of housing is affected by
public policy. There are no
incentives in place for developers
to build affordable housing.
• Entry-level affordable
housing
• Diversity of housing types
• Rehabilitation assistance
• First-time homebuyer
assistance
• Additional public housing
Fair housing is crucial to ensuring
that persons of like income levels
have equal access to housing.
HUD requires that jurisdictions
receiving federal funds commit
to affirmatively further fair
housing. A key part of achieving
this goal is the preparation of an
Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing (Al). Efforts have been
made to reduce impediments,
and development and regulatory
incentives for affordable housing
are being developed.
Public facilities, infrastructure,
and economic development are
elements of community
development which is the
foundation of a successful
community. CDBG "target
areas" (low and moderate
income areas) often have
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 17
City of Round Rock
greater needs that the rest of the
community. Community
development needs were
developed based on
consultation with the Community
Development Advisory
Commission, staff, input provided
by residents and service providers
at public hearings.
Economic Development Needs
• Workplace development
and job training services to
benefit small employers
and target income
residents.
• Job creation and retention
for low income persons
Housing
• Affordable single family
housing
• Affordable elderly housing
• Home repair loans
• Down payment assistance
for first time homebuyers
• Temporary / Emergency
housing
• Rental assistance
Public Service and Facility Needs
• Rehabilitation of existing
public service agencies
• Health and mental health
services
• Transportation services to
get residents to basic
need and medical
services
• Affordable child care
services and facilities
• Youth centers and
recreation centers
• Neighborhood parks and
playground equipment in
low income target areas
• Services for battered and
abused persons
• Drug/Alcohol abuse
treatment
Infrastructure Needs
• Sidewalk, curb, and gutter
improvements
• Storm drain and flooding
improvements
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 18
City of Round Rock
3. Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan outlines how
the City will address the
community's housing and
community development needs
over the next five years. The
priority needs, goals and
objectives were determined by
City staff with input from
meetings, public hearings, and
discussion with area service
providers.
The goals, objectives, and
programs are designed to assist
those households with incomes
less than 80 percent area median
income (AMI). This group is
referred to as the "target
income" group. The 1-35 corridor
through the central part of the
city contains the majority of the
low and moderate income block
groups known as the "target
area". Refer to Figure 2-5.
The goals and objectives in the
Round Rock 2009-2013
Consolidated Plan are built upon
the following set of overall
guiding principles, which
provided a framework for the
development of the
Consolidated Plan.
• Assist: Develop compre-
hensive strategies to
support and assist those in
need in the community.
• Involve: Involve the
community and provide
opportunities for citizen
participation in the
Consolidated Plan process
and the preparation of the
documents.
• Collaborate: Encourage
collaboration with and
between public, private,
and non-profit agencies in
order to ensure the
efficient and effective
provision of services.
• Leverage: Leverage
CDBG funds and local
resources to maximize the
effectiveness of programs
and services.
The priority needs were
determined primarily from data
presented in Section 2 -
Community Needs, and through
consultation with City staff, public
hearings, and local service
providers. Key factors affecting
the determination of the five-year
priorities included: 1) the types of
target income households with
greatest need for assistance; 2)
those activities that will best
address their needs; and 3) the
limited amount of funding
available to meet those needs.
2009-2013 Consolidated Pian 19
City of Round Rock
The priority ranking system for
housing and community
development needs is as follows:
• High Priority: Activities
assigned high priority are
expected to be funded
during the five-year
period.
• Medium Priority: As funds
are available, activities
that are medium priority
are expected to be
funded.
• Low Priority: Activities
assigned low priority are
not expected to be
funded during the five-
year period. The City may
support application for
public assistance by other
agencies if those activities
conform to the
Consolidated Plan.
• No Such Need: The City
has determined that there
is no need for these
activities in the
community. Funding will
not be provided and
applications by other
agencies will not be
supported.
For the five-year Consolidated
Plan period, Tables 3-1 and 3-2
identify the priorities assigned to
the housing and community
development activities
anticipated to occur during the
Consolidated Plan period.
While priorities have been
assigned to housing and
community development needs,
these represent estimates. The
specific type and level of need in
the community is not completely
known at this time. The City will
be undertaking a thorough
analysis of the specific nature of
needs in Round Rock in the
coming year.
Availability of Resources
The Strategic Plan focuses on
those activities funded through
CDBG funds which are provided
to the City by HUD on an annual
basis. Based on the City's annual
allocation of $413,341 for fiscal
year 2009-10, the City is expected
to receive approximately $2.24
million over the five-year
Consolidated Plan period.
In addition to these funds, the
City has other funds which may
be used to leverage CDBG
money for infrastructure projects
and public services. HOME funds
will be used for tenant based
rental assistance if the City
receives any through the Texas
Department of Housing and
Community Affairs (TDHCA) or
directly from HUD. At this time,
the City does not receive HOME
funds.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 20
City of Round Rock
The City's housing strategy is
based on the priority needs and
goals included in its General Plan
and the City's Strategic Plan
Report which includes Council
priorities.
Table 3-1 summarizes the housing
priorities and objectives for the
Consolidated Plan period. Those
activities that are expected to be
funded with CDBG monies are
described in this section.
Summary of City's Housing Needs
Given the high cost of housing
and the growing number of
families in Round Rock, high-
priority needs include affordable
rental housing for target income
families as well as seniors who are
often on fixed incomes.
Rehabilitation and emergency
repair assistance for target
income homeowners is a high
priority (refer to Tables 3-1, 3-3).
Goals listed in Table 3-1 can be
attained if the City receives
HOME funding for tenant based
rental assistance and
rehabilitation. These numbers
will be adjusted with the next
funding cycle if the City only has
CDBG funds.

2. Section 215 Goals: Housing
assistance that meets the definition
of "affordable" in Section 215 of the
National Affordable Housing Act.
These definitions require a tenant,
owner, or [purchaser to be low or
moderate income (0-80% AMI) and
set standards for rents, purchase
price and housing values.
Housing Goals
The primary housing goal of the
Consolidated Plan is to foster the
development and maintenance
of housing affordable to target
income households as well as
those with special needs. Any
unspent program funds will be
reallocated to the City's housing
rehabilitation program.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 21
City of Round Rock
In the development of the City's
affordable housing plan, key
elements will include that the City
will:
• Identify appropriate sites
for affordable housing.
• Assist in the development
and provision of housing
for target income
households and special
needs groups.
• Identify and, were
appropriate, remove
constraints to the
maintenance,
improvement, and
development of housing,
including housing for all
income levels and special
needs groups.
• Conserve and improve the
condition of existing
affordable housing stock.
• Promote equal housing
opportunities.
• Increase assisted housing
developments for target
income households.

Though Round Rock has a very
small visual homeless population,
the loss of a job, a raise in rent,
an eviction or domestic violence
can easily lead to homelessness
for many low income individuals
and families. Accordingly, the
City's high priority activities are
concentrated on homeless
prevention.
Priority Homeless Needs
With a focus on homeless
prevention, the City and local
service providers have identified
the provision of direct assistance
(e.g., food and clothing) as well
as supportive services to help
those potentially at risk of
becoming homeless as the key
priorities for homeless assistance
and prevention over the five year
period.
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
shelters only provide temporary
facilities for displaced women
and children, the City will work
with area providers to address its
share of the homeless need
through facilities and services
provided at the regional level.
Homeless Assistance Goals
A primary goal to address the
issue of homelessness and
homeless prevention is to
encourage a range of supportive
services to help those at risk of
becoming homeless and those
who are without shelter.
The City will continue work with
service providers to address its
goal and the local needs of the
homeless.
Homeless Assistance and
Prevention

The City will work with service
agencies to provide emergency

training, and health care. Staff
has also identified infrastructure
improvements and fair housing
services.
Community Development Goals
and Objectives
Goals to assist target income
households and areas are:
G-1: Improve the infrastructure
and physical environment
of Round Rock's target
areas.
G-2: Support economic
development and
employment opportunities
in the City's CDBG target
areas.
G-3: Encourage the provision of
services to assist target
income individuals and
families, including those
with special needs.
G-4: Assist in the provision of
services for target income
youth in the community.
G-5: Support services for the
elderly, including the frail
elderly, in Round Rock.
G-6: Promote facilities that
serve the City's special
needs groups and target
income households.
While the exact dollar amount
necessary to address the needs
of homeless and special needs
populations is currently unknown,
Table 3-2 demonstrates planned
funding for these groups over the
next five years. Refer to the Non
Homeless Special Needs chart
shown in Appendix "F".

Development of a One -Stop
Center
In order to better serve target
income residents as well as local
businesses, the City will
investigate the feasibility of
providing a One -Stop Center and
may potentially assist in the
development of the center. The
One -Stop Center would provide
a variety of services, including
workforce development, job
training, career planning and

Approximately 7% of Round Rock
residents live in poverty
• 2.8% (446) families
• 4% (2,369) individuals
Female headed households with
children are particularly affected
by poverty.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 33
City of Round Rock
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. In
addition, the City's strategy is to
provide supportive services for
target income residents, such as
childcare services when feasible.
Planned economic development
and anti -poverty programs
include:
• Development of a One -
Stop Center
• Job Training services
• Commercial rehabilitation
• Childcare center and
services
• Homeless services
The City is committed to
removing or reducing barriers to
affordable housing whenever
possible.
Future actions to address these
issues include:
• Incentives for affordable
development
• Fee waivers or reductions
• Allowances in
development standards
Despite efforts, there remain a
number of significant obstacles to
meeting underserved needs. The
following obstacles to meeting
these needs in Round Rock are:
• Rapid population growth
• Cut backs in state and
federal funding for basic
needs services
• High cost of housing
• Need for transportation to
existing services and
childcare exceed
available services
Most of the development in
Round Rock has occurred after
the use of lead-based paint was
banned; however, some areas of
the community may have some
homes with lead based paint.
With the establishment of the
Owner Occupied Rehabilitation

City will develop procedures in
an "action plan" in compliance
with the Residential Lead Based
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of
1992 (Title X) and subsequent
changes in September, 1999. The
procedures will include:

Effective implementation of the
Consolidated Plan involves a
variety of agencies.
Coordination and collaboration
between agencies is important to
ensuring that the needs in the
community are addressed. The
key agencies that are involved in
the implementation of the Plan
as well as additional resources
that may be available are
disrobed below.
Public Sector
City of Round Rock, Office of
Community Development
The Office of Community
Development is responsible for
the administration of the City's
programs funded by CDBG
money. This office has primary
responsibility for managing and
implementing the City's
affordable housing programs, the
Consolidated Plan programs, and
related documents.
Other city departments also
involved in providing services
include Code Enforcement, Parks
and Recreation Department,
and the Public Works
Department.
Williamson County and Cities
Health District (WCCHD)
WCCHD offers a variety of
services to Round Rock and
Williamson County residents,
including:
• Alcohol and Drug Services
• Children's Services
• Family Assistance
• Public Health Services
• Senior Services
• Emergency Services
Round Rock Housing Authority
The Round Rock Housing
Authority administers the Housing
Choice (Section 8) Voucher
Program. The City works in close
consultation with the Housing
Authority regarding public
housing issues in Round Rock.
The Round Rock Development
Cooperation is a 501 (c) (3) non-
profit organization established by
the Housing Authority for the
purpose of purchasing and
developing affordable housing.
Non -Profit Agencies
No community development
organizations that construct
housing for target income
households or provide
rehabilitations services are
located in the City. However,
some are located in Austin which
is close proximity to Round Rock.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 35
City of Round Rock
Private Sector
The private sector is an important
collaborator in the services and
programs associated with the
Consolidated Plan. The private
sector brings additional resources
and expertise that can be used
to supplement existing services or
fill gaps in the system.
Lenders, affordable housing
developers, business and
economic development
organizations, and private sector
providers offer a variety of
assistance to residents such as
health care, small business
assistance, home loan programs,
and assisted housing, among
others. Some of these
organizations include the Round
Rock Development Corporation
which has been active in
purchasing affordable housing
and the Small Business
Development Center which
provides resources to local and
start up businesses.
Coordination
The City is committed to
continuing its participation and
coordination with federal, state,
county, and local agencies, as
well as with the private and non-
profit sector, to serve the needs
of target income individuals and
families I the community.
In particular, the City will
continue to work in close
coordination with area service
providers for the provision of
services. The City will also work
with the building industry to
address housing needs.
The primary gaps in the delivery
system relate to the lack of
services for target income
households in Round Rock. These
include senior and transportation
services, youth recreation and
child care, adequate clothing
and food assistance, and
emergency or transitional
housing. The Department of
Human Resources has an office
in Round Rock that provides
welfare assistance and
information to target income
individuals.
The Round Rock Consolidated
Plan is designed to address these
gaps by first identifying
appropriate programs and
services to provide in the City,
then providing local services,
facilities, and programs over time
to assist target income residents.
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan 36
City of Round Rock
The City of Round Rock has
developed a monitoring system
to ensure that the activities
carried out in the Plan are done
so in a timely manner in
accordance with the federal

GENERAL
Executive Summary
The City of Round Rock will receive $413,341 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds for the 2009/2010 program year. This is the first program year
to implement high priority activities identified in the 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan
and meet projected long range goals. In this final program year, Community
Development Block Grant funds are allocated to public service activities,
program administration, economic development activities, and public facilities
improvements. Objectives and outcomes of the plan are identified in Project
Tables, shown in Appendix "D".
During the development of this plan, the City held three public hearings to solicit
input from residents and social services providers on the needs in Round Rock.
Housing rehabilitation, public services, and land acquisition for the development
of affordable housing were identified as community needs. All comments were
accepted. See Appendix "A" for Public Comments.
The City of Round Rock historically has invested 80 percent of its CDBG funds in
programs and activities benefitting low and moderate income persons and
families since 1999. All other funds have been used to support program activities,
such as staff, training, special studies, and day to day operations.
On May 27 the Community Development Advisory Commission made the
funding recommendations that are identified in this First Program Year Action
Plan (the Plan). There are limitations on the portion of the City's entitlement that
can be spent on certain activities.
The City may obligate up to 20% of the current year's allocation ($413,341) plus
20% of the current year's anticipated program income for eligible and
reasonable planning administrative costs. [24 CFR 570.200(g)]
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 41 Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
The City may obligate up to 15% of the current year's allocation ($413,341) plus
15% of the prior year's program income for public services. [24 CFR 570.201
(e)(1)]•
There were no revenue producing activities funded by CDBG in the prior year, so
only the maximum amounts allowed for public services and program
administration (15% and 20% respectively) were used to determine funding.
Applications for public services totaled $87,090, however, the 15% limitation on
funding is $62,001. Two applications totaling $600,000 for projects other than
public services or program administration were received, but only one was
recommended for partial funding. Public Services, Projects, and Program
Administration funding recommendations totaled $413,341.
In addition to expenditure caps, other federal requirements were considered to
determine if a project is eligible for funding. Any project or activity must meet
one of three National Objectives to be eligible [570.200 (a)]: (1) benefit low and
moderate income persons; or (2) prevent slum or blight; or, (3)to meet an urgent
need (per HUD's definition).
The activities in this Plan meet the criteria for funding and the CDBG program
goals and objectives. Location maps show census tract boundaries and the
percentages of low to moderate income persons who reside in the target area
are shown in Exhibit "E".
2009-2010 First Program Year Action Plan
This document was created by using HUD's new CPMP tool and is designed to
address all Federal statutory requirements, including the new performance
measurements. Activities identified in this Plan meet the requirements of the HUD
Outcome Performance Measurement System and National Objectives. Table 1
on page 3 identifies the recommended activities and Community Development
Block Grant funding for Program Year One of the 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan.
The City of Round Rock will direct assistance to the geographic areas shown in
Exhibit "E" Census Tract Maps (Low and Moderate Income Target Areas map).
The investment will be allocated geographically when feasible due to the
concentration of target population in the areas shown in the Minority
Concentration Map, Exhibit E.

Priority Needs Determination
The priority needs were determined primarily from consultation with City staff,
public hearings, surveys, and local service providers. Key factors affecting the
determination of the five-year priorities included: 1) the types of target income
households with greatest need for assistance; 2) those activities that will best
address their needs; and 3) the limited amount of funding available to meet
those needs.
The priority ranking system for housing and community development needs is as
follows:
• High Priority: Activities assigned high priorities are expected to be
funded during the five-year period.
• Medium Priority: As funds are available, activities that are medium
priority are expected to be funded.
• Low Priority: Activities assigned low priorities are not expected to be
funded during the five-year period. The City may support application
for public assistance by other agencies if those activities conform to
the Consolidated Plan.
• No Such Need: The City has determined that there is no need for
these activities in the community. Funding will not be provided and
applications by other agencies will not be supported.
In the 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan, Tables 3-1 and 3-2 identify the priorities
assigned to the housing and community development activities.
Underserved Needs
Despite efforts, there remain a number of significant obstacles to meeting
underserved needs. The following obstacles to meeting these needs in Round
Rock are:
• Rapid population growth
• Cut backs in state and federal funding for basic needs services
• High cost of housing
• Need for transportation to existing services and childcare exceed
available services
To address these obstacles this year, the city will dedicate community
development funds to the acquisition of real property by Habitat for Humanity,
fund the position of Resident Services Coordinator for the Round Rock Housing
Authority, and provide funds for the Utility Assistance Program conducted by the
Round Rock Serving Center.
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 45 Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
High cost of housing continues to be an obstacle for new homeowners and
renters. Round Rock may receive HOME funds as an entitlement once the city
reaches the population threshold of 100,000, which is expected by 2011. This
money will be used as gap financing for the development of affordable housing.
Managing the Process
The City of Round Rock Office of Community Development within the Planning
Department serves as the lead agency for the Consolidated Plan and
administration of CDBG funds. The following agencies were consulted in the
development of this annual action plan: Habitat for Humanity of Williamson
County, Bluebonnet Trails MHMR, The Round Rock Volunteer Center, Williamson -
Burnet Counties Opportunities, Round Rock Independent School District, United
Way of Greater Williamson County, Agape Pregnancy Resource Center, Round
Rock Housing Authority, the Round Rock Area Serving Center, and the Williamson
County Crisis Center.
Round Rock will continue to participate in and also host interagency meetings
on a monthly basis to enhance coordination between public and private
housing, health, and social service agencies.
Citizen Participation
Citizen participation, an integral part of developing Round Rock's 2009-2010 First
Program Year Action Plan, was obtained through public hearings, public
meetings, and a community needs assessment. The City's Citizen Participation
Plan that was adopted with the first five year Consolidated Plan, details
procedures to follow for public hearings, plan amendments, reporting
information, and public accountability.
The City held three public hearings to solicit input from residents and social
services providers on the needs in Round Rock. Those meetings were held at the

Institutional Structure
Effective implementation of the Consolidated Plan involves a variety of
agencies. Coordination and collaboration between agencies is important to
ensuring that the needs in the community are addressed. The key agencies that
are involved in the implementation of the Plan as well as additional resources
that may be available are described below.
Public Sector

Voucher Program. The City works in close consultation with the Housing Authority
regarding public housing issues in Round Rock.
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 47 Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
The Round Rock Development Cooperation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization
established by the Housing Authority for the purpose of purchasing and
developing affordable housing.
Non -Profit Agencies
No community development organizations that construct housing for target
income households or provide rehabilitations services are located in the City.
However, some are located in Austin which is close proximity to Round Rock.
Private Sector
The private sector is an important collaborator in the services and programs
associated with the Consolidated Plan. The private sector brings additional
resources and expertise that can be used to supplement existing services or fill
gaps in the system.
Lenders, affordable housing developers, business and economic development
organizations, and private sector providers offer a variety of assistance to
residents such as health care, small business assistance, home loan programs,
and assisted housing, among others. Some of these organizations include the
Round Rock Development Corporation which has been active in purchasing
affordable housing and the Small Business Development Center which provides
resources to local and start up businesses.
Coordination
The City is committed to continuing its participation and coordination with
federal, state, county, and local agencies, as well as with the private and non-
profit sector, to serve the needs of target income individuals and families I the
community.
In particular, the City will continue to work in close coordination with area service
providers for the provision of services. The City will also work with the building
industry to address housing needs.
Monitoring
The City of Round Rock has developed a monitoring system to ensure that the
activities carried out in 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
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 48
Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
and all other applicable laws, regulations, policies, and sound management and
accounting practices. The objectives of monitoring are:
• To assure that subrecipients are carrying out their program/project as
described;
• To assure that subrecipients are implementing the program/project in a
timely manner;
• To assure that subrecipients are assessing costs to the program/ project
which are eligible under CDBG regulations and the contract;
• To assure that subrecipients are conforming with other applicable laws,
regulations, and terms of he agreement;
• To assure that the program/project is operating in a manner that
minimizes the opportunity for fraud, waste, and mismanagement;
• To assure that subrecipients have the capacity to carry out the
approved project/ project;
• To assure that subrecipients are carrying out their program/project as
described.
The City will track and report on its progress toward meeting its housing and
community development goals. On an annual basis, City staff will prepare a
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that
summarizes progress on goals and priorities in the Consolidated Plan and Annual
Action Plan.
Lead-based Paint
The majority of residential housing development in Round Rock occurred after
the use of lead-based paint was banned; however, some areas of the
community may have some homes with lead based paint.
With the implementation of the Minor Home Repair program, the program policy
and procedures manual address compliance with the Residential Lead Based
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) and subsequent changes in
September, 1999. The procedures include:
• Notification
• Identification
• Treatment (if necessary)
Specific Housing Objectives
Round Rock will reconsider its down payment and closing costs assistance for first
time homebuyers when market conditions improve. The Community Housing
Rehabilitation Repair Program will be used to assist families to bring their
substandard property up to code. Priorities for home repair assistance have
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 49 Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
been established and will be implemented when there is a waiting list for future
projects.
Both programs have residency requirements that will trigger repayment of loans if
property sells, leases, or transfers title within the five year note period.
Needs of Public Housing
The Round Rock Housing Authority was established in 1966, with the first
development being built in 1972. Today the Housing Authority owns 100 units and
administers 125 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Approximately 200 persons
are assisted through these programs.
The Round Rock City Council appoints a five member board, including a resident
board member that oversees the organization. Each board member serves a
two year term.
The Housing Authority mission is to provide safe, affordable housing to families
and individuals of the greater Round Rock area; and provide education and
training opportunities that empower residents to reach self-sufficiency with
dignity.
The Round Rock Housing Authority was awarded $77,430 CDBG funds in May
2008 to renovate its community room and office space at 1505 Lance Lane.
There have been no significant upgrades to this facility since it was constructed
in 1972. This money was used to enclose an existing patio area and convert it to
additional space for a small computer lab that will have free Internet access and
computer terminals for residents' use. The additional space will allow staff to
provide the education and training opportunities that are part of its mission.
Consultants hired by the Housing Authority continue to explore opportunities for
new housing. The first option is to locate suitable and affordable land to build
additional family units. The second option is to renovate the existing properties
located at 1505 Lance Lane; 1100 Westwood Drive; and 1007 Cushing Drive.
The Housing Authority owns twelve scattered sites (single family homes) that it
intends to sell with first option to purchase going to the occupying tenants.
These tenants are part of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and
will participate in programs offered by the Housing Authority to prepare them for
the financial responsibility of home ownership.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City is committed to removing or reducing barriers to affordable housing
whenever possible. Zoning standards for multifamily tracts have been amended
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 50
Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
that will allow redevelopment of existing multifamily public housing. Prior to the
zoning amendment, all three public housing developments had density and
acreage that did not meet the current standards. The Round Rock Housing
Authority can now proceed with its plans to redevelop its properties.
HOME/ American Dream Down payment Initiative (ADDI)
Round Rock does not receive HOME/ADDI funds at this time. If these funds were
available to Round Rock, they would be combined with private funds to make
an investment with the Round Rock Housing Authority to maintain current
affordable units and develop additional units.
If the city were to receive ADDI funds, The Round Rock Housing Authority would
take the lead to outreach to residents and tenants of public housing and to
other families assisted by public housing agencies, for the purposes of ensuring
that the ADDI funds are used to provide down payment assistance for such
residents, tenants, and families. Families receiving ADDI funds would take classes
related to all aspects of homeownership. Housing counseling would be
mandatory homebuyers. City staff and Round Rock Housing Authority staff have
received certification in teaching Homebuyer Education and Financial Fitness.
These certification programs were administered by the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and NeighborWorks America.
Specific Homeless Prevention Elements
Homeless Strategy
Though Round Rock has a very small visual homeless population, the loss of a job,
an increase in rent, an eviction or domestic violence situation can easily lead to
homelessness for many low income individuals and families. Accordingly, the
City's high priority activities are concentrated on homeless prevention.
Priority Homeless Needs
With a focus on homeless prevention, the City and local service providers have
identified the provision of direct assistance (e.g., food and clothing) as well as
supportive services to help those potentially at risk of becoming homeless as the
key priorities for homeless assistance and prevention over the five year period.
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 shelters only provide temporary facilities for displaced women
and children, the City will work with area providers to address its share of the
homeless need through facilities and services provided at the regional level.
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 51
Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
Homeless Assistance Goals
A primary goal to address the issue of homelessness and homeless prevention is
to encourage a range of supportive services to help those at risk of becoming
homeless and those who are without shelter.
The City will continue work with service providers to address its goal and the local
needs of the homeless.
Homeless Assistance and Prevention
Homeless Assistance
The City will work with service agencies to provide emergency shelters,
transitional housing, and other support services that address the City's fair share
of homeless need at the regional level.
Homeless Services
In order to help those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, the City
will assist with the provision of supportive services which may include free food
and clothing, counseling, emergency housing assistance, referral, or temporary
shelter.
Job Training Program
To provide better economic opportunities to target income residents, the City will
assist with the provision of job training and workforce development services by
improving communication within the community.
Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership
The Housing Choice (Section 8) Voucher Rental Assistance Program provides
vouchers to very low and extremely low income households that are in need of
housing and are potentially at risk of becoming homeless or have special needs.
The city housing rehab program can assist low income homebuyers with grants
up to $25,000 for repairs needed to bring substandard property to code.

Antipoverty Strategy
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. In addition, the City's strategy is to provide supportive services for
target income residents, such as childcare services.
Planned economic development and anti -poverty programs include:
• Development of a One -Stop Center
• Job Training services
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 53 Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
• Commercial rehabilitation
• Childcare center and services
• Homeless services
Non -homeless Special Needs (91.220 (c) and (e))
Priority housing and supportive service needs of persons who are not homeless
but require supportive housing (i.e., elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities
(mental physical, developmental) persons with alcohol or other drug addiction
persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and public housing residents are
available through a limited amount of resources provided through Bluebonnet
Trails MHMR, Trinity Care Nursing Home, Round Rock Housing Authority,
Williamson -Burnet Counties Opportunities, and the Williamson County Health
District.
Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS
Round Rock does not receive HOPWA funding. Any housing in this area for
persons with HIV/AIDS is funded privately or assisted through the Interfaith Care
Alliance.
Specific HOPWA Objectives
Round Rock will continue dialogs with the Interfaith Care Alliance and other
local agencies that deal directly with housing issues for this target population
and assist when possible with housing needs with its Home Repair Program.
Other Narrative
Exception Grantee Status
The CDBG program requires that each CDBG funded activity must either
principally benefit low- and moderate -income persons, aid in the prevention or
elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a
particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate
threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources
are not available to meet that need. With respect to activities that principally
benefit low- and moderate -income persons, at least 51 percent of the activity's
beneficiaries must be low and moderate income.
However, in some communities, such as Round Rock, there are none or very few
areas in which 51 percent of the residents are low and moderate income. For
2009-2010 Program Year Action Plan 54 Version 2.0
City of Round Rock
these grantees, the CDBG law authorizes an exception criterion in order for such
grantees to be able to undertake area benefit activities.
For Round Rock, the low -moderate income threshold for any area benefit
activity is 47.4%. Section 105(c) (2) (A) (ii) at 24 CFR 570.208(a)(1)(111, identifies the
methodology to calculate a grantee's "exception" threshold.

prevention activities for families that have received eviction notices or notices of
termination of utility services will meet the requirements that: (A) the inability of the

APPENDIX TO CERTIFICATIONS
Instructions Concerning Lobbying and Drug -Free Workplace Requirements
Lobbying Certification
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this
transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or
entering into this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code. Any person who fails to
file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not
more than $100,000 for each such failure.
Drug -Free Workplace Certification
1. By signing and/or submitting this application or grant agreement, the grantee is providing the
certification.
2. The certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed when the
agency awards the grant. If it is later determined that the grantee knowingly rendered a false
certification, or otherwise violates the requirements of the Drug -Free Workplace Act, HUD, in
addition to any other remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action
authorized under the Drug -Free Workplace Act.
3. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the
certification. If known, they may be identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not
identify the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award, if there is no application,
the grantee must keep the identity of the workplace(s) on file in its office and make the
information available for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces
constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free workplace requirements.
4. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or parts of buildings) or
other sites where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used
(e.g., all vehicles of a mass transit authority or State highway department while in operation,
State employees in each local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio
stations).
5. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the grant, the
grantee shall inform the agency of the change(s), if it previously identified the workplaces in
question (see paragraph three).
6. The grantee may insert in the space provided below the site(s) for the performance of work
done in connection with the specific grant: Place of Performance (Street address, city, county,
state, zip code)
Check if there are workplaces on file that are not identified here. The certification with regard
to the drug-free workplace is required by 24 CFR part 21.

7. Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment common rule and
Drug -Free Workplace common rule apply to this certification. Grantees' attention is called, in
particular, to the following definitions from these rules: "Controlled substance" means a
controlled substance in Schedules I through V of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and as further defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through
1308.15); "Conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo contendere) or
imposition of sentence, or both, by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to
determine violations of the Federal or State criminal drug statutes; "Criminal drug statute"
means a Federal or non -Federal criminal statute involving the manufacture, distribution,
dispensing, use, or possession of any controlled substance; "Employee" means the employee of
a grantee directly engaged in the performance of work under a grant, including:
All "direct charge" employees;
all "indirect charge" employees unless their impact or involvement is insignificant to the
performance of the grant; and
a. temporary personnel and consultants who are directly engaged in the performance of
work under the grant and who are on the grantee's payroll. This definition does not
include workers not on the payroll of the grantee (e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a
matching requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on the grantee's
payroll; or employees of subrecipients or subcontractors in covered workplaces).
Note that by signing these certifications, certain documents must completed, in use, and on file for
verification. These documents include:
1. Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
2. Citizen Participation Plan
3. Anti -displacement and Relocation Plan

Round Rock, Texas 78664
Commissi6ners:
•Habitat
for Humanity'
I became aware of the results of the May 27, 2009, Community Development Commission meeting this
week. As you know, this meeting centered around the 2009-10 CDBG funding recommendations. The
Commission voted to not fund, at any level, Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County's (HFHWC) 2009-10
CDBG request for the Round Rock Habitat Land Acquisition and Development Project.
During the discussion of Item 6.t=. -and -prior to the commissioners' vote, inaccurate and incomplete
statements were made to the Commission regarding Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County's (HFHWC)
use of 2008-09 approved CDBG funding in the amount of $150,000. Below are the facts as we know them:
• HFHWC identified 5 appropriate lots for purchase (October – December 2008).
• HFHWC notified the Community Development office of the interest in these Tots and requested the
2008-09 CDBG contract and funds be transferred as soon as possible (October 2008 - January
2009).
No action on these lots was taken by the Community Development Department and the contract or
funds were not received by HFHWC.
As of July 16, 2009, HFHWC does not have a signed 2008-09 CDBG contract or receipt of any of
the funds awarded in the amount of $150,000.
HFHWC cannot acquire lots in Round Rock until the 2008-09 CDBG contract is signed and funds
are received. Land acquisition is the first step, and most critical step, in providing safe and
affordable home ownership opportunities in Round Rock.
There have been numerous phone calls, emails and visits to the Community Development
Department, the City Manager's office, and the City Attorney's office by me and the HFI -IWC Board
President, Joanne Land, since January 2009. These interactions with the City of Round Rock have
been made to obtain the 2008-09 CDBG contract and the awarded funds to fulfill the 2008-09
Round Rock Habitat Land Program.
— Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County respectfully requests a re -consideration of the Community
Development Commission's funding decision. We request that a decision on 2009-10 CDGB funding of the
HFHWC Round Rock Habitat Land Acquisition and Development Project be made utilizing the facts outlined
above.
In advance, thank you for reconsidering your decision.
