Executive Summary
Community Development Annual Action Plan
Intent
The City of Round Rock has prepared the 2002 -2003 Community Development Annual
Action Plan (CDAP) that identifies how the City will use federal resources to meet priority
community needs. 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.

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.

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%.

(CDAP) was made available for public review and comment on June 3, 2002. The CDAP
could be reviewed by the public at the Robert G. and Helen Griffith Public Library, the
