These data quantify housing problems, such as overcrowding and cost burden, and measure the magnitude of special needs populations,such as the elderly,frail elderly, and persons with HIV/AIDS.As shown in the following analysis, cost burden (paying more than 30 percent of household income on housing expenses) and extreme cost burden (paying more than 50 percent of household income on housing expenses) has a considerable impact on households in Port Arthur, particularly lower income households. Measures of housing condition (lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities) doesn't provide a very reliable measure of condition,though it represents the best, easily accessible data on the topic. Other needs are represented through the Section 8 wait list and various census and state data sources. 411 • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 13 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs The following data provide an analysis of housing problems in Port Arthur, including lack of complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, overcrowding (1.01 to 1.5 persons per room), severe overcrowding(more than 1.5 persons per room), cost burden (paying more than 30%of household income on housing expenses), and severe cost burden (paying more than 50%of household income on housing expenses. By far,the most common housing need related to cost burden, hitting lower income households particularly hard,with over 46 percent of renter households and 54 percent of owner households earning less than 30%of the area median income (AMI) paying more than 50%of their income on housing expenses. For rental households, cost burden is the most common housing problem with almost 24 percent of all renter households earning below 100%of the AMI paying more than 30%of their income on housing expenses. Likewise,cost burden is the most common for owner households where 17.4 percent of all owner households earning below 100%of the AMI paying more than 30%of their income on housing expenses,with severe cost burden not far behind with 16.8 percent paying more than 50%of their income on housing expenses.The next most pressing housing problem in Port Arthur is overcrowded rental housing, with almsot six percent living in units with 1.01 to 1.5 persons per room.When comparing overcrowding with cost burden,the needs observed are not nearly as pressing. • Demographics Base Year: 2000 Most Recent Year: 2011 %Change Population 57,755 53,825 -7% Households 21,869 20,066 -8% Median Income $26,455.00 $32,178.00 22% Table 5-Housing Needs Assessment Demographics Data Source: 2000 Census(Base Year),2007-2011 ACS(Most Recent Year) • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 14 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 0 Median Household Income bw 1'.

According to the 2008-2012 American Community Survey, there were 6,548 single person households in Port Arthur(31.8%of all Port Arthur households), over 37 percent of which were elderly(age 65+). Forty-eight percent of single person households were homeowners,with 52 percent renters.Twenty- five percent of single person renter households lived in single-family housing units, compared to 98 percent of owner households. The median household income of single person households was$18,559, approximately 55 percent of the median income for all households in Port Arthur. As shown in Table 10 above, severe cost burden was a major factor for the"Other" category,with 38 percent of the rental cases and 32 percent of the owner cases. Most of the "Other" category will be made up of single person households. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence,sexual assault and stalking. Data from the 2008-2012 American Community Survey show that 16.3 percent of the population of Port Arthur reports some form of disability. Disabilities reported increase with age.Those below the age of 5 • are reporting less than one percent with a disability. In the 5 to 17 year age group, 5.5 percent are reported to have disabilities. In the 18 to 64 year age group, 13.5 percent report disabilities,with 7.9 percent reporting ambulatory difficulties, 2.4 percent with self-care difficulties, and 4.0 percent with independent living difficulties. The 65 year and older age group reported 55.9 percent with disabilities, including 37.1 percent with ambulatory difficulties, 14.5 percent with self-care difficulties, and 25.2 percent with independent living difficulties.The ACS data also show that 4.7 percent of the population of Port Arthur reports a disability and living in poverty. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety,there were 865 cases of family violence reported by the Port Arthur Police Department. What are the most common housing problems? By far,the most common housing problem in Port Arthur is cost burden. According to the CHAS data in the tables above, over 64 percent of households in the 0-30%AMI income category(including renters and owners) had a cost burden of over 30%,with over 49 percent having a cost burden of over 50%.A 30% cost burden means that a household is spending more than 30%of their gross income on housing expenses, including utilities. Over 47 percent of households in the 30-50%AMI income category had a 30% cost burden,with 20 percent having a 50% cost burden. The numbers fall off somewhat for the next highest income category where 29 percent of households in the 50-80%AMI category had a 30% cost burden,with only four percent having a 50%cost burden. Looking at cost burden and severe cost burden by tenure,46 percent of renter households and 55 percent of owner households earning less than 30%of the area median income (AMI)were paying more than 50%of their income on housing • expenses. For rental households, cost burden is the most common housing problem with over 23 Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • percent of all renter households earning below 100%of the AMI paying more than 30%of their income on housing expenses. Cost burden is the most common for owner households where 17 percent of all owner households earning below 100%of the AMI paying more than 30%of their income on housing expenses,with severe cost burden not far behind with 16.8 percent paying more than 50%of their income on housing expenses. By comparison,the numbers for overcrowding and incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities were low, with six percent of the lowest income category living in overcrowded conditions and four percent living without complete kitchen or plumbing facilities. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Cost burden and extreme cost burden affect all household types, particularly in the lower income categories. In simple numerical terms, it would appear that "Small Related" and "Other" households bear much of the brunt of severe cost burden among renters,with 38 percent each of the total number of renter households experiencing severe cost burden. For ownership households, "Elderly" households made up 32 percent of the total experiencing severe cost burden. Large related households comprised the smallest portion of those experiencing severe cost burden for all but one income category, presumably because they are the smallest of the household types. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the • needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Low-income individuals and families who are currently housed but are at risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered are living paycheck to paycheck,just making ends meet. They are often one paycheck away from being homeless in the event of a sudden loss of employment or medical emergency which redirects financial resources.These households span all types, including individuals living alone,small families, large families, and the elderly. Some households have relatives or friends with whom they can double-up,thus avoiding homelessness, at least in technical terms, but these accommodations are not long-term solutions to their needs. These households, particularly extremely low-income households, need a wide variety of assistance to help them meet those emergency needs that occasionally crop up in everyone's lives.This assistance could include job training to help them transition into better paying professions, mortgage/rental assistance, medical clinics that provide low or no cost care, rent subsidies, and other services that help absorb the costs that might redirect funds dedicated to housing. Formerly homeless families and individuals also need these services to reduce the prospect of returning to homelessness.Transitional housing units, permanent supportive housing, and rent subsidies help meet the housing expenses of households returning from homelessness, while job training programs help with job prospects. Other social services are needed on occasion as circumstances demand. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: The point-in-time count provides the estimates of the various categories of homeless individuals and families.These include chronic homeless,veterans,families with children,families without children, individuals, and unaccompanied children. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Severe cost burden is linked with housing instability and an increased risk of homelessness. When a household is paying too large a portion of their income on housing expenses,sudden and unexpected financial demands can tip the scales,forcing them from their homes. These demands might include illnesses requiring hospital stays or time away from their job,automotive problems requiring repairs or loss of work due to lack of transportation, and legal problems that might require payments to lawyers or time away from their job. Lower income households are particularly susceptible to these financial impacts because they are less likely to have savings that can cover these expenses and buffer the effects of monetary demands in covering unexpected events. • Discussion Cost burden and severe cost burden are the most common housing problem across all lower income households in Port Arthur, both renter and owner.The lower the income of the household,the more extreme the cost burden. Overcrowding is also a common problem in many lower income households, though the numbers are much lower than those of cost burden. There is some concern with lack of complete plumbing and kitchen facilities, but these conditions are not widespread. As a proxy for housing condition, lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities does not tell the entire story. Many units with complete kitchen and plumbing facilities may not be habitable. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 28 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

The next largest population group was White, at about 36.1 percent. The Hispanic population was 29.6 percent of the total, many of which would have been accounted for as White. The remaining racial groups are relatively small,with about six percent for Asian and less than one percent from American Indian/Native Eskimo. The data show that American Indian/Alaska Natives in the 0-30% income range show disproportionately greater need,though with very small population numbers. In the 30-50% income category,the Hispanic and American Indian/Alaska Native populations show disproportionately greater need. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 31 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction: The 2007-2011 CHAS data were used to compare housing cost burden across racial/ethnic groups. Cost burden (30 to 50%of household income going to housing expenses), extreme cost burden (more than 50% of household income going to housing expenses), and no cost burden (less than 30%of household income going to housing expenses)were compared by racial/ethnic group to the city as a whole.

The size of the severe cost burdened African-American population was 10 percentage points about the population as a whole. The size of the African-American population paying less than 30 percent of their income on housing expenses was 6.7 percentage points above that of the population as a whole. The American Indian/Alaska Native population showed much higher rates of both cost burden and severe cost burden,though the size of the population was very small, compared to the major racial groups. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 35 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) . NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion — 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? From the CHAS data presented in the previous sections,the Hispanic population shows a disproportionately greater housing need and severe housing need, particularly in the lower income categories. The Asian population shows greater need for the lowest income category under the housing need table, but the total Asian population makes up six percent of the total population of Port Arthur, and the impact of the disproportionately greater need is small. Between the two major racial/ethnic groups,White and African-American, which comprise more than 77 percent of the population of Port Arthur,the CHAS data show a disproportionate impace on African-American households with regard to cost burden. If they have needs not identified above,what are those needs? None identified. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? • Maps included in the market analysis show some census tracts in the central parts of Port Arthur are home to a relatively high portion of the city's African-American population, with the total African- American population in those tracts ranging up to 82 percent of the total population of those tracts, in a city where the total African-American population is 40.7 percent of the total population of the city. Likewise,some of those same tracts in the central parts of the city that are home to relatively high portion of the city's Hispanic population, ranging from 41 to 64 percent of the total population of the tracts, compared to a total Hispanic population in the city of about 30 percent. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 36 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 0 NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion — 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?

All public housing development operated by the Port Arthur Housing Authority provide accessible units within the complexes and the authority is willing to make reasonable accommodations when requested. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders As described in the 2010 PHA Plan,there were 646 families on the public housing wait list, of which 197 included children and 24 were elderly. Ninety-nine percent had incomes below 30%AMI. Seventy-six percent were African-American and 10 percent were White. Another 10 percent were Hispanic. Of the 646 families,449 were looking for 1-bedroom apartments, 149 were looking for 2-bedroom apartment, and 48 were wanting 3-bedroom apartment. Of 744 families on the voucher wait list, 99 percent earned less than 30%AMI. There were 701 families with children,43 elderly families, and nine families with disabilities. Of those 744 families on the wait list for Section 8, 605 were African-American,92 were White,43 were Asian, and 51 were Hispanic. • How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The housing needs of the public housing wait list closely reflect the distribution of units by number of bedrooms for the rental population at large in Port Arthur. The majority of units were divided between one-and two-bedroom units,with a much smaller portion being three-bedroom units or larger. Discussion The wait list was more than the total public housing units being operated by the PHA, while the Section 8 wait list was amost 30 percent of the number of vouchers managed by the PHA. As most of both wait lists were most likely families with extremely low incomes,the private housing market holds little hope of their finding suitable housing without assistance. This points to the need for additional housing options for potential residents. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 40 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • a* i 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a) aJ aJ v c _ 52 c CU v CU (a o a in -c aJ �( i+ 'p in L (1)as s- Y aJ Q aJ D o v E ° a x E 2 -C y aJ p 0 C o E W t 0 N 4' z Y C C 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0cii N L +F H rl 0 U f9 al CD L ru L aJ L to C M w CO U T �' c Vf a! r IA >. i 000 0 r+ aJ O OJ CO (a E �X y R ` -0 n aJ E E c0 hi, vii O 41 Y VI = 0 aJ LU L sci- aJ t CU CD E a a) 0 aJ40 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 y > .0 L c L r .c 0 (a 0 F- O C al E al CU E 0 Q.; Q +a f6 O a/ >. ro N +, v o C O0 7. _o O C OA in (1) vii t a10 aJ CO _Q W ro (73 p 7t 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o. aJ V.) -C t fp C N > (O U 4+ U = C 'c c N aJ E 0 (moi, CU (j) Y al v v, tO ++ (Q L C in c LE C a, E cu to ^ o }' w O� v, r X p 0 Q 3 L 0 v, aJ L N W a a CC Cl = 0.. -a a) O `vi Q of Ql in 00 I� M 0 i s--i Z °J 2 CC • •� i c ,41 y CP .--I 00 �--I r-I CO �-i TV o > O C as v x Q 'O Y o aJ i vhf ++ = E I— C L "O al al t TU Ecc 0 Q v- C Q aJ .ts0 .c 0 no 0 v o v "O E E C = a a L ,Q +,, L a/ N c v O Y E O L dp y +`°.

These families and individuals are living either with families, in group facilities, or independently. They have a wide variety of needs, many of which are being met without public assistance. In some cases, where parents are caring for disabled children,the future of their independence is at risk Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: These populations have a broad spectrum of characteristics,similar to the population at large, but a distinguishing factor for them is an increased risk of homelessness due to the fragile nature of their existence, some relying heavily on others for their care, others living on fixed incomes and vulnerable to hardships caused by sudden demands on their resources. Alcohol and drug abuse are defined as excessive and impairing use of alcohol or other drugs.The National Institute of Alcohol and Abuse and Alcoholism estimated the number of adult men with a drinking problem at 15 percent of the total population and that of adult women at 6 percent.These percentages,when applied to Port Arthur, would yield a total population of alcohol abuser at 5,613 persons, using 2010 U.S. Census population figures. Elderly are those individuals aged 62 or older.The elderly population continues to show a strong • growth pattern as a population group.The elderly live a distinctive lifestyle requiring numerous supportive services. Between 2000 and 2010,the population aged 62 years and over fell from 17.8 percent of the population to 16.1 percent. The 2010 U.S. Census put the population of Port Arthur's population of 62 and over at 8,691. Persons with physical or developmental disabilities often require special facilities and care. Persons with developmental disabilities sometimes lack the capacity to care for themselves and rely on a caretaker to see to their daily needs. More often than not the caretaker is a parent. If the child outlives the parent who has provide their care all their lives, other arrangements must be made to see to their continued care. This group can include all ages, races, and ethnicities. Data for persons with disabilities were reported earlier in the Needs Assessment. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? Housing and supportive service needs of these populations include: -Group housing, - Physical rehabilitation and medical care, - New job training skills, • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 45 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • - Unemployment and the resulting loss of income/insurance coverage due to inability to perform job functions, - Extensive medical care and treatment, - Rehabilitation programs, -Counseling/support groups to deal with the problem, -Addressing unemployment and the resulting loss of income/insurance coverage due to inability to perform job functions, - Medical care/prescription medications,straining their already limited income, -Special transportation needs due to medical and physical condition, - Mobility assistance in normal daily activities, -Assistance in meal preparation, housekeeping and shopping, and - Physical rehabilitative care due to injury/falls.These needs were compiled through consultation with • service providers. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: According to the Texas HIV Surveillance Report 2013,there were 14 cases of HIV disease in Port Arthur in 2013. Of that total, 10 cases of AIDS were reported. For Texas Public Health Region 5,with includes the Metropolitan Statistical Areas for Jefferson and Orange Counties,there were a total of 167 new HIV cases reported, 1,595 persons living with HIV, a reported 2,776 cumulative HIV cases, and 65 AIDS cases. Discussion: Non-homeless special needs populations encompass a wide variety of persons and households and cannot be easily categorized except in very general terms. Many as coping well with their situations with the need for public assistance. Some find needs that can only be met with help from outside their family. Some are on the verge of homelessness themselves and struggle from day to day. Some live independently,while others depend of family or caregivers to help them on a daily basis. Needs for these populations are as varied as the populations are themselves and depend on individual situations. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 46 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs— 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: The identification of needs is currently ongoing and this section will be updated with the results when the process concludes. How were these needs determined? The City conducted a survey of residents and service providers asking their input into the ranking process for the variety of uses of CDBG funds. The survey was available online and as hard copy at fair housing focus group sessions and Consolidated Plan forums. While the survey was not a statistically reliable instrument for prioritizing, it was a useful tool to include community concerns and preferences into consideration. Staff took the results of the survey and the comments received in the focus group sessions and forums and completed the ranking process. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: Utilities upgrades and replacement of obsolete and deteriorated utilities,water and sewer,streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter in both downtown and low-moderate income neighborhoods will be needed in order to improve existing housing stock and create new affordable housing in single and multifamily III family developments and downtown housing as part of mixed used development and commercial adaptive reuse projects.

In Port Arthur,the housing market has slowly rebounded from the foreclosure crisis of the last decade. With that recovery, housing prices have increased somewhat, but are still affordable with the historically low mortgage interest rates found in the current market. The following analysis looks at a variety of data from the American Community Survey,the census,the Port Arthur Housing Authority, and homeless service providers to provide a picture of the local market. III IIIConsolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 49 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • MA-10 Number of Housing Units— 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction The housing stock in Port Arthur is weighted heavily toward single-family housing,with 75 percent of households residing in single-family detached structures, while 24 percent reside in structures with two or more units.Approximately 61 percent of households are home owners,with 71 percent of owner households living in housing units with three or more bedrooms. With over 5,300 multifamily units serving over 7,700 renter households,the data suggest that over 2,400 renter households reside in single-family structures, either attached or detached. The use of single-family structures for rental housing does address some of the need for larger housing units for renter households, but the vast disparity of larger units between renter(29%) and owner(71%) households suggests the need for new housing development aimed specifically toward larger renter households requiring three or more bedrooms.

The Port Arthur Housing Authority manages 286 units of public housing. Additionally,there are 2,657 units in 12 projects that have HUD insured mortgages,serving low-income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. Over 1,600 units have been developed in Port Arthur through Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and 1,585 units include Project-Based Vouchers for their tenants. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. HUD's Multifamily Database shows a total of 12 projects with 2,657 units that have HUD insured mortgages and offer subsidized housing to their tenants. Maturity dates for these projects range from 2031 to 2048. This suggests that there is little risk of loss of affordable housing units from the inventory in the near future. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Seventy-five percent of all households in Port Arthur reside in single-family homes. While this is often considered the ideal in terms of raising a family,the future growth in the senior population may require a reconsideration of what is ideal with respect to housing type. In the coming years,the growing senior • population may put more market pressure on smaller apartment units, particularly efficiencies and one- bedroom units which,as they look to downsize from the single-family home in which they raised their families. Future development of units designed with retirees in mind and active senior apartment communities may take on a larger presence in the housing market. Describe the need for specific types of housing: As shown in the Unit Size by Tenure data,the vast majority of owner households reside in homes with three or more bedrooms (71%). By comparison, only 29 percent of renter households reside in units with three or more bedrooms. While many renter households contain single or couple households with no children, a number of larger renter households are overcrowded in smaller rental units, less than three bedrooms. There is a potential need for more apartment developments with larger units, particularly three or more bedrooms. Discussion The largest sector of housing units in Port Arthur are in single-family structures (76%). Of renter households, most (71%) live in units with two or fewer bedrooms. As the demographics of the city and state start reflecting the aging of the baby boom generation,the housing market will need to adapt to provide new housing opportunities for those seeking to downsize from their family home to smaller units, some of which might be in senior's communities where residents can participate in a variety of • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 56 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) community activities, including meals, exercise, shopping, and entertainment.The housing stock also needs additional supplies of larger rental units, some of which may come from the baby boomers moving to smaller units. The rental stock is 30 percent larger units (three or more bedrooms) compared to 72 percent for owner occupied units. There is a large inventory of HUD insured rental units in Port Arthur(2,657 units)with maturity dates in 2031 and 2048, suggesting little risk of loss of affordable housing units in the near future. • • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 57 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction Housing costs are a major portion of any households' monthly budget. In 2000,the median home value in Port Arthur was$35,700. By 2011,the median value had increased by 75 percent to$62,600. Rental costs had similar,though somewhat lower, increases rising 53 percent from $310 in 2000 to$473 in 2011. In Port Arthur, 58 percent of renter households paid less than $500 per month in rent.Just under 15 percent of the rental housing stock was affordable to households earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. No homes were priced in a range that would be affordable for a household earning less than 30 percent of the area median income.

As would be expected,the lowest income households have the least housing stock from which to choose, clearly not enough to meet the needs of the community. With no homes priced at a level affordable to those earning below 30 percent of the area median income, rental properties are their only option. The data show that 15 percent of rental units are affordable to those earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. With this limited housing stock, many households are forced to spend more of their income on housing expenses, moving up to higher priced rental housing.This creates a cost burden for those households, requiring that they spend more than 30 percent of their household income on housing expenses. In many cases it creates a severe cost burden, requiring more than 50 percent of their income for housing. In some cases households are forced to double-up with other families, sharing housing units that were designed for only one household. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? With an 75 percent increase in median home value, homeownership is becoming less affordable. With an improving economy,that pressure on homeownership is likely to increase as the housing market recovers from the mortgage foreclosure situation of the recent past and home prices return to pre-2008 levels and grow even more. On the other hand, mortgage interest rates are at historic lows, which make • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 61 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • home purchases more affordable than would have been possible in 2000 when rates were higher.The lower interest rates are,to some extent, responsible for the rise in home prices since 2000 as an individual household is able to afford a higher home price with the lower interest rate. Rents, however, rose at a slower pace, 53 percent between 2000 and 2011. Rents are less affordable than in 2000 and the demand for rental housing is most likely higher than in 2000 with former homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure looking for rental housing instead of looking to buy. How do HOME rents/ Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? High HOME rents are relatively close to Fair Market Rents,with the exception of the larger size units (3- and 4-bedroom units) and all HOME rents are higher than the area median rents as shown for 2011. These data suggest that the development of new rental housing units may increase the area median rent,while possibly remaining within the fair market rents for the area. Discussion Competing factors in the housing market, rising prices and historically low mortgage interest rates, have kept homeownership affordability somewhat constant over the past decade.The mortgage market, however, created a situation through "liar" loans and adjustable rate mortgage products where large numbers of homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure.This resulted in a bubble in the supply of • homes on the market and a dip in home prices, but many were unable to take advantage of the market conditions because of a tightening of mortgage requirements and the inability of many to qualify for mortgage under the more stringent rules. Rents,on the other hand, increased by 53 percent since 2000, putting pressure on lower income households looking for rental opportunities. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 62 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing— 91.210(a) Introduction The condition of housing units is highly correlated to the income of the household residing within those housing units. In Port Arthur, 74 percent of owner-occupied housing units and 55 percent of renter- occupied housing units have no housing problems reported. Four conditions are represented as housing problems, including lack of complete kitchen facilities, lack of complete plumbing facilities, more than one person per room, and cost burden (paying more than 30%of household income on housing expenses). The data show that 24 percent of owner households and 42 percent of renter households have one housing problem or condition. Presumably,this one housing problem is most likely either cost burden or substandard housing,with the later more likely for renter housing than for owner housing. Eighty percent of owner-occupied housing and 65 percent of renter-occupied housing was built prior to 1980, making those units potential sources of lead-based paint contamination.While not all will have lead-based paint,the age of the units suggest that at one time lead-based paint may have been used on the unit and provides a potential hazard, particularly for households with children present.Almost 1,000 units in Port Arthur were built before 1980 and have children present in the household. It is reasonable to assume that a large number of these households are lower income households due to the fact that older housing stock is often filtered down through the income categories to the lowest income households. Definitions • Substandard condition is defined as a combination of incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities, missing windows or exterior doors,severely compromised foundations, outdated electrical infrastructure, holes in floors or walls, and holes in roof or severely compromised roofing materials preventing closure from weather penetration. Many units with a combination that includes all these conditions may be unfit for human occupation. Some may be candidates for rehabilitation, others may not be. Substandard condition not suitable for rehabilitation would be units where the home is determined to be 60 percent deteriorated or the cost of the combination of needed repairs of all conditions does not exceed the estimated after-rehabilitation value of the house. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 63 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) .

In some areas of Port Arthur,the housing stock may exceed 50 years of age and the median income of the residents of those areas may be less than 50 percent of the area median income. In these situations it is likely that housing conditions generally throughout these areas are poor. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards The data show that the number of housing units in Port Arthur built prior to 1980, and potentially where lead-based paint hazards might be found, include 80 percent of all owner housing and 66 percent of rental housing. Four percent of owner housing units and seven percent of rental housing units built prior to 1980 are occupied by families with children present, a total of almost 1,000 housing units. As housing units and neighborhoods age,they typically fall through the income classes from middle-or moderate- income households to lower income households. Neighborhoods that were once middle class become home to lower income groups as they age.Typically,with some exceptions,the oldest neighborhoods found are where the poorest residents are found.As a result, it is reasonable to assume that most of the 1,000 units in Port Arthur built prior to 1980 and occupied by families with children are likely • occupied by low-or moderate-income families.

Considering the non-homeless special needs population, many in these populations are currently having their housing and service needs met without or with limited public assistance. Circumstances, however, are subject to change and the more the community prepares for future needs,the better it will be able to meet those needs when they occur. Including the elderly,frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs The supportive housing needs of special needs populations in Port Arthur vary according to the population. In coming years,the needs of the elderly and frail elderly will increase as the over 65 year old population grows with the aging of the baby boom population. These needs may include nursing care facilities targeted to lower income households who cannot afford private nursing home care. Permanent supportive housing options for persons with mental, physical, and developmental disabilities may also become a pressing issue as persons with disabilities who previously been taken care IIIof parents lose those caregivers to death or incapacity. With healthcare systems enabling persons with disabilities to live longer, many are now outliving their caregivers, increasing demand for group housing that provides the care this population needs. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing Many homeless shelters operate under a rapid re-housing structure for clients coming into the system and the Beaumont/Port Arthur/South East Texas Continuum of Care stucture has recognized the need for discharge planning within the service provision structure in Port Arthur regarding returning patients from mental and physical health institutions. At a minimum, institutions agree not to discharge individuals into homeless. Individual mental and physical health institutions may have their own discharge planning protocols in place, but they are not coordinated with any citywide planning effort. The CoC supports efforts at a more formal discharge planning protocol. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 73 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) The City funds housing rehabilitation and emergency repair programs that work with the elderly, among other populations, in an attempt to maintain their home so they can continue to reside in their own homes. As a homeowner ages he/she is often unable to continue to provide the maintenance needed to keep the home habitable. The City's programs work with those homeowners to address pressing issues that arise, such as roof leaks or plumbing failures, and also more extensive rehabilitation needed to bring a home completely up to current building code. For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2)) The City of Port Arthur does not directly fund programs that address the supportive service needs of non-homeless special needs populations. Public service funding is primarily dedicated to programs that addresses the needs of children and the elderly. The City operates housing rehabilitation and emergency repair programs that target elderly households in need of assistance with housing • maintenance and safety issues. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 74 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing— 91.210(e) Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment There are no known barriers to affordable housing resulting from public policies of the City of Port Arthur.

In May, 2014,the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a $1 million grant to support critical infrastructure at the Port of Port Arthur. The EDA grant will help the Port of Port Arthur complete an expansion of Berth-6 by upgrading drainage and site stabilization infrastructure. EDA's investment will enable the port to make those important updates and facilitate the completion of the project. According to the grantee,this project will enable U.S. companies to export more than 1.5 million metric tons of products per year. Additionally, according to grantee estimates, more than 250 jobs will be created and $120 million in foreign direct investment will be attracted to East Texas as a result of the project. A number of downtown achievements have taken place; including the restoration of the Kress Building by Golden Triangle Empowerment Center, a $3 million dollar investment,the restoration of the Downtown Pavilion, a $500,000 dollar investment,the restoration of the City Police and Municipal Court Building, a $2.5 million dollar investment.The proposed development of student housing on Lamar State College Campus, a $6.6 million dollar investment,the restoration of the historical First National Bank building by PAEDC,that will house both PAEDC and the Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce, a $5.5 million dollar investment, and the State Legislators and Governor's approval of HB 1966 and 1967, allowing PAEDC to spend 4A Economic Development Dollars for downtown infrastructure improvement • and Pre-Employment Training for Port Arthur residents which is an additional estimated investment of $6 million dollars. With these and other private sector investments in Downtown Port Arthur,the securing of State and Federal grants and New Market Tax Credits, Port Arthur will continue their effort to revitalize the Port Arthur Downtown waterfront property, creating a safer neighborhood, and improving the quality of life for all residents. Global Partners LP (Global) and Kansas City Southern (KCS) announced plans to develop a unit train terminal in Port Arthur.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Generally,there is a wide range of jobs in Port Arthur with a variety of education and skill requirements. The industry with the most workers in Port Arthur is the Education and Health Care Services sector,which typically has stringent education and skill requirements for the most visible portion of the workforce;the educators, doctors, and nurses. The sector also has a large support staff with lower education and skill requirements, including maintenance workers, drivers, and many other job classifications. Port Arthur's largest and second largest sectors in terms of jobs are Construction and • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 82 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Manufacturing,typically calling for a less educated workforce,though many positions demand high skill levels.

(include a definition of"concentration") The census tracts that are identified as eligible for CDBG area benefit(median income below 80 percent of the area median income) include some of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The housing in these neighborhoods are often in poor condition and many are in need of extensive rehabilitation or removal. These neighborhoods are also where the lowest income households in the city live, in housing stock that is in poor condition, and,therefore, offered at lower rents or sales prices. Despite the lower rents or purchase price,the lower income households pay a large portion of their income on housing expenses. In this case, concentrated would mean that a large portion of the neighborhood shows the impact of these housing problems. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of"concentration") As of the 2010 Census,African-Americans comprise about 41 percent of the population of Port Arthur. There is some concentration of the African-American population in census tracts in the central parts of the city, with the percentage of the total population being as much as 82 percent.The Hispanic population of Port Arthur is about 30 percent. There are also concentrations of Hispanics in the central • parts of the city,with concentrations of up to 64 percent of the population of the tracts. Most of the tracts are within the CDBG area benefit tracts (where median incomes of the tracts are below 80 percent of the area median income). These areas also show high rates of poverty,with poverty rates above 59 percent of the population of the tracts. Maps of poverty rates and concentrations of African- Americans and Hispanics are included below. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? These neighborhoods, as mentioned above, contain much of the poorest housing stock in the city. As a result,the housing market contains much of the lowest cost housing as well. Code enforcement officials worked extensively in these areas in an attempt to maintain the integrity of the community in past years. The City funds a demolition program to remove dilapidated, unsafe houses from low-income neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods have a number of vacant lots where homes have been removed. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? These areas do have community assets, including community and senior centers, parks, and other public facilities. Much of the public housing operated by the Port Arthur Housing Authority is also located within these neighborhoods. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 86 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? In neighborhoods where many homes have been removed,there may be opportunities for development of new housing units. In areas where brownfield issues are not a concern, private and non-profit developers can find appropriate redevelopment sites to provide homes for a range of household incomes, including lower and upper income households. These efforts would aid in sustainability efforts, bringing more people into the neighborhoods and improving the housing stock available in the market. • • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 87 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Percent African-American , 301 C. .14 A 103-70< '.1 ?9 � _ 66 101 M � t,g `4 ',. .Y.,,, - ' it ..

In many communities, (TBRA) landlords are reluctant to rent to these clients due to the reputation they have that the clients do not take care of the property as well as other renters do. Other market conditions that could influence the use of TBRA have to do with rents being asked for rental property. If rents are too high,the rental assistance might not be enough to allow clients to lease the units, even if the landlord was willing. TBRA for Non- Added to the description of TBRA market characteristics above, non-homeless Homeless Special special needs clients may also encounter housing units that do not meet their Needs accessibility needs. Most housing in any community has not had accessibility improvements that allow persons with mobility issues ease of access. While landlords are obligated to make reasonable accommodations for such renters, many need more accommodations than typical landlords would consider reasonable. New Unit The production of new housing units is influenced by several market conditions, • Production including the cost of land,the cost of construction, and prevailing interest rates. While rates are currently at historic lows,the mortgage markets are still recovering from the recent mortgage foreclosure crisis and restrictions placed on lending institutions that resulted. In many areas lenders are not making new loans as freely as before and some well qualified buyers are finding it difficult to navigate the new mortgage processes that have been instituted. The resulting delays in securing loans can burden housing developers and restrict their activities. Rehabilitation Rehabilitation activities can be influenced by the cost of materials and labor. In Port Arthur,these costs are relative low in comparison to other areas of the country. The efficiency of rehabilitation is dependent on the after rehabilitation value of the home. If the market value of the home does not support the extent of rehabilitation required, it's not worth the effort to repair the home. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 112 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Affordable Market Characteristics that will influence Housing Type the use of funds available for housing type Acquisition, Acquisition, including preservation, can be influenced by the market value of including the structure. With home purchases by private individuals,the historic low preservation interest rates off-set increases in the market value of the housing stock. Monthly housing costs of higher priced homes at lower interest rates approximate the monthly housing costs of lower priced homes at higher interest rates. In the case of a City agency or non-profit organization buying housing stock for rehabilitation and resale or for preservation,the costs of purchasing a home outright at higher prices can reduce the number of homes that can be purchased or reduce the funds available for rehabilitation activities.

These organizations partner with each other,the City, and mainstream service providers to provide a wide ranging response to the service needs of homeless persons and persons with HIV/AIDS, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children,veterans and their families,and unaccompanied youth. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to,the services listed above The service providers in Port Arthur work closely together to provide a continuum of services in response to needs identified through surveys of homeless persons and general observations of the providers. Providers in Port Arthur are particularly strong in the areas of mental health services, employment training, and life skills training. Gaps exist in emergency shelter capacity. There are not enough beds on a typical night. Another gap is the coordination of service centers through the lack of 111 universal participation of providers in the HMIS system. All homeless providers who participate in federal funding programs are enrolled in the HMIS system. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs 1. Work with non-profit organizations to address community needs and provide support to federal and non-federal funding initiatives. 2. Work with private industry to address important issues that hamper housing and community development efforts. 3. Identify opportunities to create private/public partnerships for project finance and development to leverage federal funds. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 121 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • N N r-I cL n S H • 1- Q 1- cc 0 d ai al Ln C N ra r-I : 01 L-3 C N) N o I + 0 la i tea as E o 0 E o va E w 0 al V) i o inea O O ra E N N o E o VI 3 z (n O Lil yct _N o 1 f6 u a 0 • N CD 0 • a O u r 0 �o 0 l7 m N r-I C C I.L d G!

Public Infrastructure—Decisions need to be made regarding public and private funding for utilities upgrades and replacement of obsolete and deteriorated utilities,water and sewer, streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter in both downtown and low-moderate income neighborhoods will be needed in order to improve existing housing stock and create new affordable housing in single and multifamily family developments and downtown housing as part of mixed used development and commercial adaptive reuse projects. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing No actions needed. • • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 134 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) SP-60 Homelessness Strategy— 91.215(d) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The first homelessness objective provides that City staff continue its work with the Beaumont/Port Arthur/South East Texas Continuum of Care,the local coalition that organizes the Continuum of Care and submits grant applications for homeless initiatives. The coalition also conducts yearly point-in-time counts of the homeless and conducts a bi-yearly survey of the homeless. City staff participates in the counts and surveys. The point-in-time counts and the surveys work to reach out to homeless persons, including unsheltered persons, and assess individual and family needs, contributing to the consultation brought to the Consolidated Plan forums and survey from which priorities are formed. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City does not provide federal funding for shelter activities. Local organizations are working to find ways to finance the development of more shelter space, but funding is limited. 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. No funding is proposed in the Strategic Plan to address issues relating to homelessness. The City supports the efforts of the Continuum of Care to address homelessness issues through their funding venues. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs No funding is proposed in the Strategic Plan to address issues relating to homelessness. The City supports the efforts of the Continuum of Care to address homelessness issues through their funding venues. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 135 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i) Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Goal: Increase the inventory of lead safe housing units. Strategies: • Continue to meet HUD lead-based paint abatement standards in housing rehabilitation programs. • Expand the stock of lead safe housing units through housing initiatives. • Obtain training for program staff on lead hazard evaluation and reduction • Establish working relationships with lead professionals and key partners,such as risk assessors and clearance technicians, public health departments,and HUD lead grantees. • Create procedures for determining when it is more cost effective to presume that lead hazard are present, and when it makes sense to evaluate a property. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? • The effectiveness of the programs operated by Port Arthur work through the City's housing rehabilitation programs. These programs target some of the oldest housing stock in the city,which is typically in the worst condition and most likely to have lead-based paint hazards. To the extent that lead-based paint hazards are found in the older housing stock,these programs address the issue directly. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Port Arthur currently performs visual inspections of housing units included in their housing programs. Where defective paint is observed,surfaces are prepped and repainted,following abatement guidelines provided by HUD. All rehabilitation and down-payment assistance programs include provisions requiring that all painted surfaces be in good condition. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 136 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy— 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families Several of the City's Consolidated Plan goals and objectives address issues related to poverty and assisting those who fall below the poverty level. Examples include: • Address non-housing community development for special needs populations through public service programs; • Programs targeting youth, providing education enrichment and job preparedness activities, • Food and nutrition programs offered to seniors;and • Continue to collaborate with homeless providers to support Continuum of Care services. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan Activities to reduce the number of poverty-level families will center around strengthening existing collaborations and seeking new ways to partner with agencies and organizations that work directly with poverty-level households to provide intervention and assistance services. Such services may include but are not limited to: counseling, substance abuse, mental health treatment, health services, adult education and job re/training, employment assistance,financial management and credit counseling, • parenting programs, after-school and day care assistance programs, and interim cash assistance programs with respect to paying for food, shelter and utility bills. The City will continue to notify such agencies of funding opportunities to enable them to continue providing and/or expanding their services. Given the City's limited financial resources and that the majority of factor's affecting a family's poverty- level status are typically beyond the control of City policies,the extent to which the proposed strategies will reduce and/or assist in reducing the number of poverty-level families is difficult to gauge. In the coming future,the Office of Housing and Community Development will work with the community to address deficiencies and attempt to measure the impact of the CDBG and HOME programs in reducing and/or preventing poverty.

Furthermore,the City of Port Arthur through its Grants Management Division is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of grant and subgrant support activities. As a result, Grants Management must develop sound subrecipient contracts, monitor subgrant supported activities, inform subrecipients about compliance requirements, and ensure subrecipients have single audits, if required; provide technical advice and training; issue management decisions within the month on subrecipient single audit findings and ensure subrecipients take corrective action. In addition the City is responsible for determining whether pass-through entity records are to be adjusted as a result of subrecipient audits, assuring compliance with applicable Federal requirements and assuring performance goals are being achieved. Hence,the purpose of the plan that follows is to facilitate financial and program monitoring of subrecipients to ensure compliance with all • regulations and requirements governing subrecipients financial operations.

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 City Wide 72 CDBG Eligible Block Groups 28 Table 57-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. • Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 166 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing—91.220(g) Introduction The annual goals listed previously specify the following production numbers for housing assistance and for homelessness, non-homeless, and special needs populations.

Below are some of the actions currently performed by the City or under consideration for the future. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to look for new funding sources for programs to address underserved needs.

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. 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: The HOME Recapture Provisions are established §92.253(a)(5)(ii) and permits the original homebuyer to sell the property to any willing buyer during the period of affordability. The repayment conditions for the FTHB assistance stated previously outlines the shared market • appreciation also referred to as the share of net proceeds. Recapture provisions are in effect for periods from thirty years from the date of each settlement. Recapture is enforced through deed restrictions to ensure that the entire amount of HOME assistance to homebuyers is recouped if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the period of affordability. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds?See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: Resale requirements must ensure that if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the full period of affordability that the housing must be made available for subsequent purchase only to a buyer whose family qualifies as a low-income family and will use the property as their principal residence. The resale requirement must also ensure that the price at resale provides the original HOME-assisted owner a fair return on investment(including the homeowner's investment and any capital improvement as defined below) and ensure that the housing will remain affordable to a reasonable range of low-income homebuyers. The period of affordability is based on the total amount of HOME funds initially invested in the housing. 111 Consolidated Plan PORT ARTHUR 175 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • 4.
