Introduction The City has developed an outreach effort to encourage input from a large cross section of residents and stakeholders.The outreach effort included two public hearings before the City Council, published and posted meeting notices,social media notifications, emails, and flyers. In addition to reaching out during the development of the plan, City's CDBG staff continues to maintain a strong networking relationship with public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental, health, mental health, and social service agencies throughout the program year. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)) To better enhance coordination and form effective relationships between public and assisted housing providers, private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies,the City actively consults with a variety of non-profits, social service providers, neighborhoods and citizens,and other governmental agencies. City's CDBG staff attends monthly Williamson County Non-Profit Networking Meetings virtually the first Tuesday of every month. Local non-profits come together to network and to promote meetings, public hearings, and events. A variety of non-profits attend the monthly networking meetings including non-profits that provide housing, mental health, health,transportation, affordable childcare, and other services to low income, disabled and elderly residents of Round Rock. City's CDBG staff attends the Round Rock Housing Authority (RRHA) monthly board meetings virtually on ZOOM as well as meets regularly with the RRHA staff to provide technical assistance on the CDBG grant and to work together on the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Regional Working Group goals and action items. City's CDBG staff along with other local non-profits and social service agencies have recently formed a Homeless Coalition. This coalition meets regularly to discuss the needs of homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless.The goals of the group are to find resources to fill the gaps within the community regarding homeless and at-risk homeless. Included among the agencies that meet each month are food pantries, mental health agencies, neighboring local units of government, housing agencies, local and neighboring public housing authorities, local not for profit health clinics, and Texas Homeless Network staff.

The Round Rock ISD (RRISD) receives a grant for the Families in Transition Program that assists homeless families with children,families with children that are living with friends or relatives as well as unaccompanied youth. This grant ensures that any student lacking a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence is provided with resources. Because there are no homeless shelters in Round Rock or Williamson County(except for the domestic violence shelter) homeless youth and unaccompanied youth are bused to shelters in Austin. According to the RRISD, a third of homeless students are unaccompanied youth. Goodwill of Round Rock and Central Texas (Goodwill) provides job rehabilitation and placement for homeless veterans as well as assistance with rent and job training. Currently due to COVID-19 the Round Rock location is closed but is taking intake applications for services over the phone.

In trying to meet the transportation demands of population, employment and economic growth,the City developed the Transportation Master Plan,which consists of two basic elements, a roadway element, and a bicycle/pedestrian element.The Transportation Master Plan encompasses the transportation system within the City limits as well as the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).The City also coordinates with City regional planning partners.The updated Transportation Master Plan was adopted by City Council on Oct 12, 2017. The City's CDBG Staff consults with the Round Rock Housing Authority(RRHA) regularly and attends RRHA monthly board meetings virtually. The RRHA and the City both participated in the development of the Central Texas Joint Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Study. Together,the RRHA staff and City's CDBG staff are currently consulting and meeting with the other local units of government and other regional housing authorities on the goals and metrics identified in the Central Texas Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Report. This group met quarterly prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the most recent meetings have been virtual ZOOM meetings. The City's CDBG staff continues to maintain a relationship and consults with community based and regionally based organizations that represent protected class members such as Meals on Wheels, Drive-a-Senior, CASA, Hope Alliance,ARCIL(Advocacy Resource Center for Independent Living), and the Austin Tenant's Council. The City's CDBG staff regularly meets and networks with the Austin Tenant's Council regarding tenant rights and Fair Housing issues. Residents are referred to the Austin Tenant's Council for assistance with filing a fair housing complaint and with assistance with tenant issues. All the sub- recipients that receive CDBG funds are required to have on file a fair housing policy. The City's CDBG staff does not network with any corrections programs or institutions other than the Council for At-Risk Youth. CDBG funded the Council for At-Risk youth in program year 2019 to provide counseling to at-risk youth in the RRISD from grades 5-12. Other than that agency the City's CDBG staff does not network with any other corrections programs or institutions, but the City HR department does participate in the Jails to Jobs Program. This program is literally transforming lives by breaking the cycle of youth recidivism. The Jails to Jobs Program empowers juvenile offenders to find purpose, personal growth and achievement through an employment-based mentoring and job skills program to reduce recidivism in the justice system. The City guarantees graduates of this program a job.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting In hopes of promoting citizen participation during the development of the CDBG 2022 Action Plan, public hearing notices in English and Spanish were made available at the following locations and agencies: • Publication in the Round Rock Leader • City News section of the city website as well as in the CDBG webpage • Public hearing notices and executive summary in the kiosk at senior center • Public Hearing notices posted in the city hall bulletin • Public hearing notices and Executive Summary posted at Round Rock Housing Authority, Round Rock Area Serving Center, and the Round Rock Public Library • Nextdoor The public participation process was developed to help the City identify priority needs in the community and set goals that will help address affordable housing needs and to better provide social services to the low to moderate income household and persons. Two public hearings were held before City Council during the development of the plan. Residents were given at least 14-day notice of a public hearing and at least 30 days for the comment period. Copies of the public notices and proof of publications from the Round Rock Leader are in the attachments. The projects and activities funded in this action plan all tie back to the high priority needs and goals in the CDBG Five Year Consolidated Plan (2019-2023). During the development of the five-year consolidated plan the City's CDBG staff had a goal and plan for citizen participation to ensure a broad participation of residents, housing, economic and social service providers as well as city departments and local housing authority. The City held stakeholder and resident meetings in addition to public hearings. This process helped the City develop the consolidated plan to assist for planning and developing the action plans for the next five years.

By combining these two processes,the City can make sure to fund agencies providing high priority needs with General Funds that could not be funded with CDBG funds due to the 15%funding cap.This process will also help prevent duplication of services. The process of funding social services agencies is as follows:A team, consisting of City Council members,the City's Neighborhood Services staff and the City's CDBG staff, review agency applications as well as conduct a risk analysis using set criteria and performance measures. Funding recommendations are presented to the City Council through the budget process. Awarded agencies are contracted to deliver the specific services to the residents of Round Rock.

Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Qualified Census Tracts 55 Citywide 45 Table 8-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The rationale for allocating investments geographically either citywide or qualified census tracts ties back to the CDBG 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. Public services and home repair were high priority needs in the consolidated plan as well as facility improvements. Discussion The City did not use geographic target areas as a basis for funding allocation priorities. The City will focus the majority of location-specific funds (i.e. infrastructure projects) in the defined LMI areas. Public service allocations serve low-to-moderate income populations across the City(but are not placed based allocations).

Continued implementation of the City of Round Rock Minor Home Repair Program will assist low-income residents, especially the elderly and disabled with repairs that they cannot afford and will keep them living in their homes longer. Annual Action Plan 49 2022 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) AP-60 Public Housing— 91.220(h) Introduction The Round Rock Housing Authority (RRHA)was established in 1966,with the first development built in 1972.Today,the RRHA owns 100 units and administers 94 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Approximately 200 persons are assisted through these programs.The City will act as a resource for the RRHA to assist the public housing authority with capacity building as well as programming that is associated with CDBG funds. The RRHA historically was a five-member board, including a resident board member,that oversees the RRHA.The board is appointed by the City's Mayor. Recently the Mayor appointed two additional board members, making it a total of seven members. The City is invested in ensuring that selections made are in the best interest of the RRHA. Each board member appointed by the Mayor possesses management qualities that will ensure that best business practices are deployed. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing To address and improve the needs of public housing and resident initiatives,the RRHA has started a Senior Gardening Program. The RRHA is partnering with the local A&M Agricultural Program to promote healthy living. This includes healthy cooking, exercise, and the promoting of gardening and growing fresh food. There are three series of classes. Each series has four classes. The first includes healthy cooking,shopping for groceries, and calorie counting, etc. The second includes exercises such as chair exercises and nonstrenuous stretching for seniors. While the third series will focus on growing vegetables and eating fresh grown food. The RRHA consists of three locations with 88 units combined and they also own twelve scattered sites around the City. The RRHA is preparing to submit an application to HUD requesting approval to dispose of the twelve scattered sites. The residents currently living in those homes will be relocated and they will also be given the option to purchase the home at market rate before putting them on the market. The residents will essentially have first choice to purchase. Once the housing authority gets the go ahead from HUD to dispose of these twelve homes, they will be sold and the proceeds will be reinvested. The RRHA has hired a consultant that will identify ways to reinvest the monies from the sale of the scattered sites into the remaining 88 units. The aging units are in much need of renovations. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Currently there are no public housing homeownership initiatives in place either under the public housing program or the Section 8 program.The City plans to encourage Affordable Housing Roundtables that are conducted by the RRHA and include affordable housing builders, housing counseling nonprofits and Annual Action Plan 50 2022 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) banking institutions. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The RRHA is not designated as a troubled housing authority by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). Discussion The RRHA receives an annual Capital Fund Grant from HUD.The RRHA uses these grant funds for the following Administrative and Operations expenses: • Staff Salaries, Fringe Benefits,Travel and Training • Office Supplies • Postage • Memberships • Maintenance Expenses • Utilities &Telephone • Insurance • Accounting Fees • Legal Expenses Annual Action Plan 51 2022 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 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 nonprofit membership-based organization helping Texas communities to prevent and end homelessness.THN is a 501(c)(3) organization that is partially funded through 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 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 nonprofit membership-based organization helping Texas communities to prevent and end homelessness.THN is a 501(c)(3) organization that is partially funded through Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and Texas Department of State Health Services. The City CDBG staff continues to attend and participate in the Williamson County Homeless Coalition which meets monthly via ZOOM. The coalition has started to develop a mission statement and establish by laws as well as develop goals to try and meet the needs of homeless in the community. In trying to reach out to homeless persons,the Williamson County Homeless Coalition participated along with the assistance of the Texas Homeless Network in a Winter Point in Time Count in January 2022. On this day, coalition members, participants and volunteers are hoped to capture the following: • Number homeless living on the streets, in their car or in camps. • Conduct a survey that will gather information on their individual situations and needs as well as the gaps in services that are lacking in order to reduce or end homelessness. • Take survey data and continue to work with the Williamson County Homeless Coalition to develop of plan that will include goals and actions to reduce or end homelessness. A total of 24 individuals were counted a homeless in Williamson County(Round Rock, Georgetown, and Taylor) on this day. The City of Round Rock is trying to develop a list of providers, non-profits and faith-based organizations that provide a wide array of services and resources to those that are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. This data will be shared with coalition members and will help establish goals and help figure Annual Action Plan 52 2022 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) out gaps in services/resources. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City 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 nonprofit membership-based organization helping Texas communities to prevent and end homelessness.THN is a 501(c)(3) organization that is partially funded through Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and Texas Department of State Health Services. The City does not receive any Emergency Solutions Grant funds but acknowledges that there are resources and services in the city that provide emergency shelter and transitional housing. The City's CDBG staff closely works with these agencies at the Williamson County Homeless Coalition monthly meetings. Although not funded with CDBG,the City seeks to gather information from these agencies on what services are provided and how the needs of emergency shelter and transitional housing are addressed and provided. Emergency Shelter: Hope Alliance is the only emergency shelter in Round Rock.They provide emergency shelter to victims of domestic violence. Hope Alliance is not funded with CDBG funds but is funded yearly with City of Round Rock General Funds Social Services Program in the amount of$40,000 for 2022. These funds help pay for the partial salary of counselor. Transitional Housing: Texas Baptist Children's Home (TBCH) administers the Family Care Program that provides transitional housing for single mothers and their children. This program helps mothers and their children transition into successful, independent futures. The City assists TBCH with a grant from the general fund in the amount of$10,000 that helps pay for a licensed counselor that provides trauma informed counseling to these single mothers and their children. 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 is trying to address the needs of homeless persons and persons at risk of homelessness by Annual Action Plan 53 2022 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) funding the following with either CDBG or General Funds: • Round Rock Area Serving Center Food Pantry that assists those that are homeless and at-risk of becoming homeless with $25,000 of CDBG 2022 funds. • Round Rock Area Serving Center Rent/Mortgage Assistance for those that are at-risk of becoming homeless with $25,000 of CDBG 2022 funds. • Hope Alliance Domestic Violence Shelter with $40,000 in General Funds to assist victims of domestic violence that are homeless. • Texas Baptist Children's Home with $10,000 in general funds to assist single mothers and their children in transitional housing. • Sacred Heart Community Clinic with $13,228 in CDBG 2022 funds to assist and provide medical services to low income and those that are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. The RRISD has a Families in Transition Program. The Families in Transition Program assists homeless families with children,families with children that are living with friends or relatives as well as unaccompanied youth. The Families in Transition Program ensures that any student lacking a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence is provided with resources. Because there are no homeless shelters in Round Rock or Williamson County(except for the domestic violence shelter) homeless youth and unaccompanied youth are bused to shelters in Austin. According to the RRISD, a third of homeless students are unaccompanied youth. Goodwill of Round Rock and Central Texas provides job rehabilitation and placement for homeless veterans as well as assistance with rent and job training. The City's CDBG staff will continue to network with the Goodwill to stay up to date on services that are being provided to homeless veterans.

Plans for the development call for a mixture of studios and one and two-bedroom units. Building height is anticipated to be three stories. City Council has also approved several Planned Unit Developments that allow for detached single family housing units on condominium lots. By providing this housing alternative to standard single-family home on fee simple lots, developers can offer quality housing units at a lower price points due to reduced infrastructure, and public improvement costs.

Discussion: The City 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 Annual Action Plan 62 2022 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) documents. The City 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] 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 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 City's 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.
