The overall goal of the CDAP is to identify resources which will improve the lives of Round Rock's residents by: providing homeownership assistance; improving neighborhoods; providing economic opportunities; providing public services assistance; and delivering needed services. In accordance with federal regulations, the City of Round Rock prepared a 3 -year Consolidated Plan which included a needs assessment, a list of priority community needs, and strategies to address priority needs. The categories of priority needs addressed in the Consolidated Plan are neighborhood improvements, economic opportunities, housing, public services, and community development. The document also includes the one -year CDAP which identifies the City's plan for funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Department (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The 2002 -2003 CDAP identifies the goals and objectives to be achieved during the first program year (PY) of the plan covering the period October 1, 2002, through September 30, 2003. Round Rock's allocation for PY 2003 -2003 was decreased by seven percent. Round Rock will receive a total of $434,000. These funds and anticipated general fund contributions to public services will exceed $600,000. The Office of Community Development is the lead agency responsible for developing the 3 -Year Consolidated Plan and CDAPs. The Office coordinated with the Round Rock Housing Authority, Williamson County and Cities Health District, and the Chamber of Commerce to develop the plan. Citizen participation was coordinated by the Community Development Manager and Community Development Specialist. A series of five public hearings and a community -wide needs assessment survey were utilized to obtain citizens' views on community needs. Priorities for funding in 2002 -2003 were established by analysis of data, services available in the community, public input, survey results, and the 3 -year Consolidated Plan. The priorities are 1) Affordable and accessible housing; 2) Community development; and 3) Economic development. Some of the programs funded through the CDBG program will be emphasized in seven target areas based on census block groups. Other programs are operated on a city -wide basis. A full description of targeted programs is included in the CDAP. A minimum of 90 percent of the CDBG funds made available to the City will benefit households earning less than 80 percent of the median family income. Of the CDBG funds allocated for housing, 100 percent will benefit households earning less than 80 percent of the median family income. In the first four years of the down payment assistance program, 100 low - moderate income families became new homeowners with assistance provided them through the housing program. 2 Introduction and Background Community Development Annual Action Plan The Consolidated Plan The City of Round Rock is committed to encouraging the development and preservation of services and facilities which improve housing options, increase economic diversification, and improve opportunities for low- and moderate - income citizens. The primary challenge is to protect the quality of life while managing rapid growth and change. The Three -Year Consolidated Plan includes an assessment of housing and community development needs for the three -year period beginning with Fiscal Year 2002/03. This document also identified priorities and strategies for the CDBG program. A one -year annual action plan was developed to implement the strategies during the first year covered by the Consolidated Plan. Five main components were included in the 3 -Year Consolidated Plan: (1) Community Profile, (2) Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment, (3) Housing Market Analysis, (4) Three -Year Strategic Plan, and (5) One - Year Community Development Annual Action Plan (CDAP) for PY 2002 -03. General priorities were developed based on the results of staff analysis, citizen participation and public hearings, surveys of housing and social service needs, and Census data in conjunction with Community 2020 software. Using information provided by these sources, the City identified three priorities: housing, community development and economic development. The following table summarizes the priorities and the strategies the City plans to implement over the next five years to address the priorities. Priority 1: Housing 3-Year Strategic Plan Priority 2: Community Development Priority 3: Economic Development Strategy 1 Strategy 1: Strategy 1: Strategy 2: None Ownership Neighborhoatl Enhancements Joh c Lion and Assistance Program Program Strategy 2: Strategy 2: Studies of Specific Needs Social Services Support Job skills tnprovenent business support and education 3 Lead Agency Administration of Federal Grants Citizen Participation in Developing the CDAP Stakeholders Meetings Citizen Surveys The Office of Community Development is the lead agency designated to prepare and submit the Three -Year Consolidated Plan and One -Year CDAPs in each succeeding year. The goal is to effectively and efficiently provide affordable housing and economic development opportunities in partnership with the community. To accomplish this, the Office directly administers a variety of programs to serve the community's housing, community development, social and economic development needs. The Office of Community Development directly administers the CDBG Program with the City of Round Rock currently in its fourth year of receiving CDBG funds. Citizen participation, an integral part of developing Round Rock's 2002 -2003 CDAP, was obtained through public hearings, public meetings, and a community needs assessment survey. The Planning Strategies 2025 Steering Committee held monthly meetings beginning November, 2001 through April, 2002. The vision and purpose of this group is to assure quality health and human services for Williamson County residents. Six meetings were held by the Round Rock Social Services Coalition from December 2001 through June, 2002. This coalition is comprised of the following agencies: United Way, Any Baby Can, The Volunteer Center, Bluebonnet MHMR, The Round Rock Serving Center, The Community Services Council, The Round Rock Health Clinic, St. John Vianny, Round Rock ISD, Williamson- Burnet Counties Opportunities, and the Round Rock Caregivers. The goal of this coalition is to have a central location to house all services these agencies provide. 28,000 surveys were mailed with utility bills and an additional 5,000 were distributed to area apartment complexes during the month of March. A total of 1600 surveys were returned with payments, mailed, or faxed o the Office of Community Development, a response rate of .05%. 4 Community Development Commission Written comments Resources A total of seven public hearings before the Community Development Commission (CDC) and the City Council will be held during the Annual Action Plan process. By the time the plan has been adopted, the CDC will have conducted two public hearings: March 7, 2002; and June 6, 2002. City Council will have conducted two public hearings: March 14, 200s and June 13, 2002.

The CDAP could be reviewed by the public at the Robert G. and Helen Griffith Public Library, the Office of Community Development, and the Planning and Community Development office.
