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 5- 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 2001- 2002 CDAP identifies the goals and objectives to be achieved during the fourth program year (PY) of the plan covering the period October 1, 2001, through September 30, 2002. Round Rock's allocation for PY 2001-2002 was increased by over 9% percent. Round Rock will receive a total of $466,000. 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 5-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 two public hearings and a community-wide needs assessment survey were utilized to obtain citizens' views on community needs. Priorities for funding in 2001-2002 were established by analysis of data, services available in the community, public input, survey results, and the 5-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 CDAP 2001-02 August 9, 2001 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 three years of the housing program, sixty-one low-moderate income families became new homeowners with assistance provided them through the housing program. CDAP 2001-02 2 August 9, 2001 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 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 Consolidated Plan The Five-Year Consolidated Plan included an assessment of housing and community development needs for the five-year period beginning with Fiscal Year 1998/99. 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 5-Year Consolidated Plan: (1) Community Profile, (2) Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment, (3) Housing Market Analysis, (4) Five-Year Strategic Plan, and (5) One-Year Community Development Annual Action Plan (CDAP) for PY 1998-99. 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. 5 -Year-Strategic Plan P rc ri-- 1 : P rio rity 2 : P rio rity 3 Fo'asing Com m unity Developm ent Econom icDevelopm e n t --rate vJtraeQy 2 .

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. Administration of Federal Grants The Office of Community Development directly administers the CDBG Program with the City of Round Rock currently in its second year of receiving CDBG funds. Citizen Participation in Developing the CDAP Citizen participation, an integral part of developing Round Rock's 2001-2002 CDAP, was obtained through public hearings, public meetings, and a community needs assessment survey. • Stakeholders Meetings. • Three Affordable Housing Task Force meetings were held from January, 2001 through March, 2001. The group studied the multi family housing stock inventory, tax credit programs, and site specific locations for single family development. • Six meetings were held by the Round Rock Social Services Coalition from December through April, 2000. This coalition was 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. • Citizen Surveys. 22,000 surveys were mailed with utility bills and an additional 4,400 were distributed to area apartment complexes during the month of March. A total of 1,603 surveys were returned with payments, mailed, or faxed o the Office of Community Development, a response rate of 7.1%. • Community Development Commission. A total of six 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 three public hearings: March 21, 2001; June 11, 2001; and July 9, 2001. City Council will have conducted two public hearings: March 22, 2001 and July 12, 2001. A sixth and final public CDAP 2001-02 4 August 9, 2001 hearing will be held by City Council on August 9, 2001. During this period over 100 persons attended these meetings with one person giving testimony on the needs of the community. Notification of dates, times, and locations of these public meetings appeared in the Round Rock Leader on March 1, 2001, May 21, 2001, and May 31, 2001. Notification of the dates, times, and locations of the public hearings on the Annual Action Plan appeared on the City's website. • Written comments. The Office of Community Development collected information from hearings and surveys to prepare a draft Annual Plan. The Draft Community Development Annual Action Plan (CDAP) was made available for public review and comment on June 1, 2001. 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. Notification of the draft plan public review appeared in the Austin American Statesman on May 21, 2001 and May 31, 2001. • City Council Hearings. Three public hearings will be held by City Council to receive public input on the needs and the Community Development Annual Action Plan on March 22, 2001, July 12, 2001, and August 9, 2001. Notification of these hearings appeared in the Austin American Statesman on March 1, 2001, May 21, 2001, and May 31, 2001.

Community Development Plan - Its consolidated housing and community development plan identifies community development and housing needs and specifies both short-term and long-term community development objectives that provide decent housing, expand economic opportunities primarily for persons of low- and moderate-income. (See CFR 24 570.2 and CFR 24 part 570) Following a Plan - It is following a current consolidated plan (or Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy) that has been approved by HUD. Use of Funds - It has complied with the following criteria: 1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities that benefit low- and moderate-income families or aid in prevention or elimination of slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to meet other community development needs 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; 2.
