The Consolidated Plan sets forth the City of Port Arthur's long-term goals for community development, housing, non-housing, and homeless services. Through the collaborative efforts of the City of Port Arthur, its citizens, nonprofit organizations, and service agencies, a five-year investment plan was derived in 2019. The Consolidated Plan establishes the City's five-year goals for providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for its citizens. These strategies will be achieved through the allocation of federal funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) programs and other sources received. The 2020 Consolidated Action Plan summarizes the primary housing and community development needs of low-moderate income households in Port Arthur. The program year begins on June 1 and ends on May 31. The 2020 allocations are as follows: • $1,152,703 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)funds • $ 294,562 in Home Investment Partnership (HOME)funds Port Arthur will focus on revitalizing its downtown area during this reporting period. The target area will cover the areas from Houston Avenue to Memorial Boulevard,4th Street,to Gulfway Drive. The revitalization activities will involve new home construction for low to moderate-income families, Annual Action Plan 1 2020 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) demolition/clearance activities, and street reconstruction. The City will also focus on assisting citizens who were devastated by Tropical Storms with the rehabilitation or demolition and reconstruction of their owner-occupied homes. The City will utilize funding from its Federal CDBG, HOME Programs, and funding from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs HOME Investment Partnerships Disaster funds for Housing Assistance Programs and Homebuyers Assistance Program. The City of Port Arthur will generate$100,000 in HOME program income during the 2020 program year. The primary sources of program income are loan repayments through CDBG and HOME housing programs and demolition repayments. Program income from the HOME program will fund new home construction, down payment, and closing costs assistance and rehabilitation/reconstruction activities. Ten percent(10%) of the HOME Program income will be used for HOME Program administrative expenses. Five percent (5%)of the HOME Program CHDO allocation will be used for CHDO operating. The CHDO will be provided a feasible and reasonable developers fee from the HOME Program. CDBG funds returned to the loan program are used for future lending. The Action Plan also serves as the City of Port Arthur's annual application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The objectives and activities funded in this plan also provide a framework for assessing the City's performance in achieving its overall community development goals. 2.

Also, some funding is available according to individual benefit rather than area benefit. It is, therefore, difficult to provide reasonable projections of the distribution of funds by target area. The numbers below are strictly estimates based on experience. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds CDBG Eligible Block Groups 100 Table 8-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The proposed allocation of funds is based on federal funding requirements for each formula-allocated grant. Areas of low to moderate-income concentration and certain areas of high minority concentration are targeted. Areas of low homeownership and deteriorating housing conditions were also considered in the targeting process. Discussion The distribution of funds by target area is projected to be primarily citywide due to use of funds for administrative, non-profit support, and individual benefit-oriented programmatic uses of the funds. The remaining funds are estimated to be spread through smaller CDBG-eligible areas.

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 of Port Arthur has no plans that would help homeless persons transition to permanent housing and independent living in the coming year.

Discussion: Port Arthur has worked to reduce the effects of public policy on affordable housing development over the past few years. While there are a number of market forces at work that make affordable housing development difficult, as discussed in the Market Analysis, the impact of public policy is not a major factor. Annual Action Plan 52 2020 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: The City currently provides a variety of services to the residents of Port Arthur, some funded by CDBG and HOME allocations, with private, State, and City funding bringing additional assets to bear on these problems. Below are some of the actions currently performed by the City or under consideration for the future.

City staff will also continue its participation in other coalitions and study groups as the opportunity arises.

Many of these organizations receive private donations to sustain their programs,and most apply for funding on the federal, state, and local level. The availability of federal funds would enhance any of the listed programs and would mean that more services, and housing, could be provided. Because of the scarcity of any type of funding, the City has been working with various organizations to try to develop programs that would increase the leveraging capacity of federal funding mechanisms so that more money would be available for other needed endeavors. Better use of the existing resources is a main concern of everyone. Annual Action Plan 57 2020 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) 2.
