As a recipient of these funds, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan, also known as a five-year strategic plan. The plan identifies the housing and community needs of the City, organizes these needs based on priority, identifies resources that address the community’s needs, and establishes annual goals and objectives to meet those needs. The Consolidated Plan is further broken down into annual action plans, which the City prepares and submits to HUD each year. The annual action plan spells out specifically how the City will address the goals and objectives in the Consolidated Plan during that program year. At the end of each program year, the City provides a summary of expenditures and related accomplishments to the public and HUD. This annual assessment is called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). While the CAPER addresses goals achieved by expending funds for the CDBG program, it is important to note that the success of the program is largely dependent on the efforts and resources of other private and public agencies and organizations as well as HUD. CAPER requirements are outlined in 24 CFR § 91.520. The report provides a review and evaluation of the City’s performance during the 2018 Program Year (PY18) and the five-year timeframe of the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan. The subject program year began October 1, 2018 and ended September 30, 2019. This CAPER includes reports generated by HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), which summarize the City’s accomplishments for PY18. IDIS generated tables and reports are included in the narrative and attachment sections to provide an update on the City’s progress in achieving the goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan.

The CAPER outlines the progress made toward accomplishing goals identified in the PY18 Action Plan, which are derived from the following overarching goals of the 2017-2021 Strategic Plan/Consolidated Plan:  Improve accessibility options for people who have disabilities;  Enhance homeownership opportunities;  Provide social services;  Stabilize the rental gap; and  Administration and fair housing activities. During PY18 the City of Meridian accomplished the activities detailed below.  Assisted 40 children in households with a low- to moderate-income (LMI) gain access to Boys & Girls Clubs programs.  Helped prevent homelessness for 35 families through Jesse Tree. The count appears low because this activity was originally set up incorrectly to report on the number of households served instead of the number of persons served as specified by the matrix code. The system was adjusted to reflect the number of people served, but the agreement with Jesse Tree required household data instead of by person.  Assisted four (4) families obtain an affordable home in Meridian through NeighborWorks Boise and Ada County Housing Authorities (ACHA) Homebuyer Assistance programs.  Began construction on new sidewalks that will improve safety and accessibility for an estimated 1,990 residents. The number of people served with this activity is zero because the construction is not complete and we cannot enter the accomplishments until the sidewalk is fully constructed.  Began process of modernizing and installing streetlights in multiple LMI neighborhoods to improve visibility and safety for an estimated 1,500 community-members in two separate areas. The number of people served with this activity is also zero because the construction is in progress and we cannot enter the accomplishments until the streetlights are complete.  Began construction on the Meridian Library to upgrade the main restrooms and make them ADA compliant to provide better access to an estimated 1,000 people with disabilities. This project was also under construction at the end of the program year and shows zero as the actual accomplishments.  Coordinated with the Cities of Caldwell, Nampa, and Boise to educate the community on fair housing issues.

Meridian utilized input from stakeholders and residents, as well as the review of fair housing barriers gathered during the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan process to determine the highest priority projects to be conducted during PY18. Needs addressed during Year 2 of the Consolidated Plan included improvement to accessibility for people with disabilities, enhancing homeownership opportunities, and provision of necessary social services. To improve accessibility for people with disabilities, Meridian utilized data from the Consolidated Plan resident survey to prioritize the following accessibility improvements:  To address the lack of/poor sidewalks and access to handicapped parking, five segments of sidewalks in Census tract 103.21, Block Group 2, are in the process of being installed and/or repaired. About 20 percent of the households in this area are comprised of senior females living alone. Another 35 percent are families with young children; half are households led by a single mother.  To address visibility and multi-modal transportion for those of all abilities, the City is installing and/or modernizing streetlights in Census Tract 103.22, Block Group 2 and Census Tract 103.33, Block Group 1. These areas provide access to necessary community resources such as food and schools.  To provide better access to public facilities the City worked with the Meridiian Library District to upgrade the Library’s restrooms and make them ADA compliant. Prior to this upgrade, there were a number of issues with the public restrooms that made them difficult or impossible to use for those with disabilities. The bathroom entrances had insufficient turning radius for those entering in a wheelchair due to the privacy barriers adjacent to the doorways. The accessible stalls in the men’s and women's restrooms lacked many of the necessary specifications including proper toilet heights, the correct turning radius in stalls, and the needed side transfer space for users in wheelchairs. There were also problems with the location and height of a variety of fixtures in the wash area and there was insufficient lighting, creating a hazard in both bathrooms. To enhance homeownership opportunities Meridian utilized data from the Consolidated Plan resident survey, which found nearly 90 percent of renters expressed an interest in homeownership. Of this 90%, 40% would like to purchase a home, but did not have enough money for a down payment and 16% cited poor credit as an impediment to homeownership. In PY18, CDBG funds were used to provide down payment and/or closing cost assistance to LMI households who were purchasing a home in Meridian. To improve the provision of necessary social services, Meridian utilized findings from the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments (AI) to identify the following supports:  A shortage of 1,077 rental units to serve Meridian households earning $25,000 or less was identified during the previous 2012 to 2016 Consolidated Plan. This gap increased in the past 5 years to 1,348 units and was largely due to additional households falling below the poverty line. CDBG funds were used to provide homelessness prevention for those facing eviction in the Meridian area.  The AI showed that lower income children, particularly those living in Census tracts with a high density of residents with a national origin other than the United States, have lower access to proficient schools. CDBG funds were used to support Boys & Girls Club scholarships, which allowed admission to programs intended to reduce barriers for youth.

Eighty-six percent of residents identify as White, 2 percent identify as Asian, 1 percent identify as Native American and 1 percent identify as African American. The demographics of those assisted with CDBG funds are similar to Meridian’s overall demographic makeup. Data from the Consolidated Plan also shows that only 1 percent of Meridian households had no one over the age of 14 who was fluent in English. Residents living in such households are called “Limited English Proficiency” populations, or LEP. Meridian’s LEP proportion was slightly less than that of the county overall (1.7%) and lower than the State of Idaho (2%). Pursuant to the city’s Language Assistance Plan (LAP), all reports and communications will be made available in formats accessible to persons with disabilities and in languages other than English upon request. For those who feel they have been discriminated against based on race or ethnicity, Meridian has a Fair Housing Ordinance which outlines Meridian's response to discrimination. The Ordinance also describes how the City will promote and publicize the Federal Fair Housing Law: “With available resources, the City will assist all persons who feel they have been discriminated against because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status to seek equity under Federal and State laws by filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Compliance Division.” Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 17, 2019 – Page 444 of 504 C i t y o f M e r i d i a n C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t B l o c k G r a n t ( C D B G ) P r o g r a m Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 6 | P a g e CR-15 - Resources and Investments 91.520(a) Identify the resources made available Source of Funds Source Resources Made Available Amount Expended During Program Year CDBG public - federal $708,217 $342,117 Table 3 - Resources Made Available Narrative Respources made available this year included $272,627 reported in the PR26 Financial Summary Report and submitted in the PY17 CAPER, $13,442 that was returned to line of credit to rectify the PY15 Public Sevice and Admin Cap overages, and the PY18 CDBG award of $422,148. All available resources were allocated to viable projects during PY17, but all of the projects did not fully expend their funding as described below. The following public facilities projects account for roughly $331K of unspent funds and began during PY18 but were not completed until early PY19:  PY17 LMI Sidewalks (IDIS Activity #85)  PY18 Meridian Library Restroom ADA Upgrage (IDIS Activity #99)  PY18 Chateau/Chief Joseph Streetlights (IDIS Activity #92)  PY18 Crestwood/Fenway Streetlights (IDIS Activity #100) Both Admin and Homebuyer Assistance were underspent during PY18. Admin costs were less than anticipated and ACHA was unable to find a match for a qualified household and available home. Between these two allocations there is roughly $36K that will be reallocated during PY19. The City is waiting for the construction projects above to be complete to determine the full amount that will be reallocated and will submit an amended PY19 Action Plan to HUD in the next several months. The PR26 shows an adjustment on line 20 in the amount of $4,804.38 to adjust for funding that was flagged for the incorrect funding year in IDIS. Of this amount, $3,762.64 was for IDIS activity #82 that was reimbursed during PY18 but was reported in PY17. The remaining $1,041.74 was a correction to IDIS activity #56 that was reimbursed during PY14 but was reported in PY13.

Funding is determined by meeting national objectives, qualifying eligible activities, and through a competitive application process. The City does not specify target areas either by Census Tract or Block Group.

Census Tracts 0103.21, 0103.22, 0103.33, and 0103.35 fall within Meridian’s LMI area. The use of CDBG funding is not pre - determined on areas of LMI concentration. The Boys & Girls Club is located downtown and Jesse Tree is located in Boise; however, LMI clients served reside throughout Meridian. Multiple low-moderate area activities were conducted during PY18: sidewalk construction began in Census Tract 0103.21; streetlight installation and modernization began in Census Tracts 103.33 and 103.35, and; the Library, which serves Census Tracts 0103.21, 0103.22, 0103.33, and 0103.35, began upgrading its restrooms to be ADA compliant. Leveraging Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan. The City of Meridian receives CDBG funds through its annual entitlement; this is the only HUD funding that the City directs toward projects. The City pays staff salaries for administration of the program and for staff time on projects the City administers, such as streetlights. It is estimated the City leverages $50,000 in local funds to administer this program. No publicy owned land or property was leveraged during PY18. Public Housing programs including Family Self-Sufficiency, Section 8, and Public Housing Comprehensive Grants provide additional funding to improve the overall resources available to those who receive services from ACHA. While no funds are leveraged for this program to provide direct payment for downpayment and/or closing costs for the Homeownership Assistance program, ACHA leverages staff time to administer the program and work with participants. This is estimated to be $4,726 of federal funds and $1,310 in general funds. NeighborWorks Boise receives over $500,000 of annual funding from NeighborWorks America, some of which is leveraged with Meridian’s CDBG funding allocation. This funding pays for housing counseling, staff time with participants, and administration of the program. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County receives funding from the USDA through the Department of Education and leverages those funds with the Meridian CDBG funding to help support their programs. Funds are also leveraged for this program for staff time and additional scholarships to the Boys & Girls Club programs. It is estimated that $40,000 of federal funds and $46,800 in general funds were used for this program. Jesse Tree partners with local banks, foundations, institutions, and Cities to help fund programs including homelessness prevention. Jesse Tree receives multiple federal grants, including ESG. It is estimated that $1,300 in federal funds and $2,700 in general funds were leveraged to administer the program and provide supportive services to participants who reside in Meridian. The Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) is a local public agency that does not anticipate leveraging other funds with CDBG funds to complete the sidewalk project.. The Meridian Library District estimates that $2,700 in local funds was used to leverage staff time to oversee the contractor for this project and for administration of the CDBG funds made available to them.

The PY18 Action Plan set a goal of assisting three (3) LMI households achieve homeownership through acquisition of existing units and Meridian was able to identify and assist four (4) households. However, two (2) of those households were served under a PY17 project that had been extended. The PY18 project had a goal of serving three (3) households but was only able to serve two (2). The subrecipient, ACHA, had difficulty identifying households that qualified for their program and were able to find a home within their price range. The high cost of housing in Meridian is a barrier for LMI families to purchase a home. Meridian continues to have a vast need for grant funds to bridge the gap of affordability for low income households. Unfortunately, the soaring housing market has made it increasingly difficult to utilize funds to help families who are at 80% or below Area Median Income as Meridian is one of the most expensive places to buy a house in Ada County. According to Zillow, the median home value in Meridian is $325,300.

These prices make it extremely difficult for LMI households to locate affordable homes. Many qualified buyers have faced bidding wars over the few affordable units that come onto the market. Applicants continue to search for affordable housing. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The City of Meridian is contracting with ACHA during PY19 and they will continue to provide outreach and marketing materials to Lender Partners and Realtors. ACHA actively promotes their program at the monthly Finally Homebuyer Seminars and mails monthly flyers to current participants in the Section 8 program. The Homeownership Coordinator is currently working with Family Self-Sufficiency participants to obtain loan approval. Several have obtained loan approval but the loan approval hasn’t been large enough to qualify for a mortgage. Participants continue to work with the Homeownership Coordinator hoping the market will soften so they may get their chance to purchase a home in the City of Meridian. ACHA has considered increasing the dollar amount of the CDBG grant provided to each household in order to help bridge the gap of affordability. The City will work with ACHA to evaluate their program during early PY19 to determine if reallocating some of the unexpended funds will assist ACHA in more effectively implementing strategies and goals. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity. Number of Households Served CDBG Actual HOME Actual Extremely Low-income 0 0 Low-income 2 0 Moderate-income 2 0 Total 4 0 Table 7 – Number of Households Served Narrative Information During PY18, the City of Meridian provided funding for four (4) households to achieve affordable housing through homebuyer assistance programs offered by ACHA and NeighborWorks Boise. These programs utilized the funding to subsidize mortgage principal amounts, assist with closing costs, and provide up to 50% of the required down payment. To ensure the Section 215 definition of affordable housing is met, ACHA and NeighborWorks Boise require participants to qualify as a first-time homebuyer, purchase a home that will be their principal residence, and the homebuyer's annual household income must be at or below 80% of Area Median Income. Both homebuyer assistance programs offered participants housing counseling and worked with homebuyers to find housing where the cost of the housing is reasonable and affordable to the homebuyer, so the housing does not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area. During PY18, the City updated the monitoring guidelines to ensure homebuyer assistance programs have a formalized process in place to document that the cost of housing meets the full Section 215 definition of affordable housing.

There were no extremely low-income households or households experiencing homelessness assisted with homeownership assistance due to the struggle to qualify for home loans with the high cost of housing in Meridian. ACHA will continue to work with eligible households to locate and be approved for affordable housing in Meridian. There were no rental households assisted under the affordable housing goal. During the Consolidated Planning process, the City of Meridian prioritized assistance for very low-income renters and/or persons at-risk of losing shelter or housing and uses this to rank projects during the application process. Often these households pay more than half of their income for rent and live in substandard housing. To assist those households with the highest/worst case needs, the City funded public service activities which provide emergency rental assistance through Jesse Tree and access to childcare through the Boys & Girls Club. Through the partnership with Jesse Tree 35 households received homelessness prevention assistance during PY18. The City does not require affordable housing activities to narrow its focus to households that qualify as those with “worst case needs” because it is difficult to find eligible households with the basic LMI criteria that are able to find a home to purchase within their means. The City identified a goal to develop an affordable housing whitepaper that will explore actions to foster and maintain housing affordability. The approach the City has taken up to this point is to assist with services and provisions that reduce the amount of income designated for basic living expenses (e.g. food, childcare, etc.) and allow people to utilize more of their income for housing costs. While developing this whitepaper, City staff collaborated with Boise City staff that have recently rolled out a housing affordability plan. Per the recommendation of the City of Boise, Meridian City staff is now changing the scope of the whitepaper to provide an overview of the status in Meridian and request Council identify a workgroup to address housing affordability for a more collaborative approach. City staff will ask that this workgroup collaborate with the surrounding communities.

City representatives have previously been involved in the Our Path Home’s Fair Housing and Performance Measurement workgroups with the hopes of better understanding the needs that those experiencing homelessness in Meridian’s face and how to better serve them. During PY18 Our Path Home was restructured and the workgroups were absorbed by the larger group. Our Path Home partners with CATCH as the coordinated entry access point. CATCH provides outreach to those who are experiencing homelessness, especially those who are unsheltered. CATCH utilizes their services as well as those of partner agencies to assess individual needs and refer participants to appropriate services. The City of Meridian strives to connect local community providers and organizations interested in involvement with Meridian’s homeless population with Our Path Home. City representatives are frequently involved in public discussions, presentations, and meetings with citizens, other governmental officials, and local service providers such as the West Ada County School District, Jesse Tree, and CATCH to provide support, understanding, and outreach to those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. In addition, the Meridian Police Department assists unhoused Meridian residents with rides to emergency housing shelters that are located in Boise as needed. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Meridian is in regular contact with case management and supportive service organizations such as CATCH and Jesse Tree to assess and address the emergency and permanent housing needs of those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. In PY18, Jesse Tree was funded through Meridian’s CDBG program to provide homelessness prevention to Meridian residents at risk of losing housing. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extrem ely low- income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs Meridian’s CDBG program provides funding to Jesse Tree to provide homelessness prevention for LMI residents who are at risk of experiencing homelessness. Statewide, Idaho utilizes the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) model. SOAR is an approach that helps increase access to mainstream benefits for people who are currently experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Those returning from institutions such as jails, prisons, or hospitals have a higher prevalence than the Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 17, 2019 – Page 450 of 504 C i t y o f M e r i d i a n C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t B l o c k G r a n t ( C D B G ) P r o g r a m Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 12 | P a g e general population of becoming homeless upon discharge. Idaho has divided the state into three (3) Hub’s that address the needs of their local community. The SOAR Hub Leads participate in a quarterly call to address the statewide needs and coordinate efforts. The North Hub Lead and the Southeast Hub Leads are discharge planners for each of Idaho’s state-funded psychiatric hospitals and the Southwest Hub Lead is employed at the local Community Action Partnership. This group regularly problem solves ways to coordinate services for those who are coming from institutional facilities in an effort to reduce the likelihood of homelessness. SOAR is coordinated with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Behavioral Health Central Office, Regional Offices, and state-funded psychiatric hospitals. Our Path Home includes representation from health care facilities, mental health facilities, and correction facilities, as well as private providers that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, and youth needs. The group works to find collaborative approaches to help low-income individuals and families avoid experiencing homelessness after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care. Our Path Home partners with many organizations, such as homeless shelters, school districts, behavioral health (mental health and substance use disorder) providers, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Idaho Department of Labor, and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). 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 indiv iduals 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 Through the City’s CDBG program, Meridian provided funding to NeighborWorks Boise and Ada County Housing Authority (ACHA) to provide homeownership assistance to LMI residents. The City provided funding for Jesse Tree to provide homelessness prevention and Jesse Tree leveraged resources to provide case management services to prevent and resolve needs for households in Meridan that are experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The City's funding relationships with NeighborWorks Boise, ACHA, and Jesse Tree are aimed to develop activities through the CDBG program to facilitate access for individuals and families experiencing homelessness to affordable housing units while also preventing individuals and families from experiencing homelessness. Meridian’s collaboration with Our Path Home and the SOAR Steering Committee explores and addresses the needs of those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. These programs prioritize assistance based on: housing status, including chronic homelessness; presence of children; veteran’s status; and size of household. To address homelessness in youth, Our Path Home refers families and youth to Hays House. Hays House offers life skills, strength-based family and individual counseling as well as assistance with education resources. These programs assist individuals and families who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness access services to help them become stably housed and make the transition to affordable permanent housing as needed. Our Path Home and SOAR attempt to stabilize the individual or family to reduce the likelihood of experiencing homelessness again. The City partners with local committees, organizations, and networks in evaluating, understanding, and addressing the many needs of those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. Partners include the Meridian Police Department, Women’s and Children’s Alliance, Jesse Tree, Boys & Girls Club, West Ada County School District, City of Boise, CATCH, Our Path Home, Meridian Food Bank, SOAR Steering Committee, ACHA, NeighborWorks Boise, and many others.

Many landlords in Meridian are willing to accept Section 8 and Shelter Plus Care vouchers, but finding units in small complexes such as those located in Meridian is a challenge. Voucher holders generally have the most success finding homes in large apartment complexes, most of which are located in Boise. Nearly 90 percent of units in Meridian are single family detached homes. The City is actively engaged with community partners such as ACHA and Our Path Home to address the public housing needs in Meridian. Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Public housing residents have access to case management services, allowing them to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership through ACHA's programs. One such program available to ACHA participants is Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS). This program assists individuals and families to obtain employment and improve their financial stability. ACHA works with social service agencies, non-profits, schools, businesses, and other community partners to develop comprehensive strategies that help participants learn the skills and gain the experience to enable them to obtain suitable employment. Participants in the FSS program receive an escrow account that is established by the Housing Authority for each participating individual or family. When the participant’s portion of rent is increased due to an increase in earned income, the escrow account is credited during the term of the FSS contract. If the participant completes the contract within a five-year period by being suitably employed and is no longer receiving welfare assistance, the amount in the escrow account is paid to the successful graduate. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs ACHA is a high performing Public Housing Authority; no assistance is provided at this time.

The research did not reveal any negative effects of Meridian’s public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing. This includes land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting returns on residential investment. Meridian will continue to evaluate the policies and ameliorate as necessary. Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The primary obstacles to fully addressing residents’ needs are: 1) Limited supply of affordable units; and 2) Limited funding. The City has allocated funding to address needs within the limitations of funding. Additionally, the City is engaged in multiple regional conversations with neighboring communities and service providers to identify and address underserved needs, maintain housing affordabiltiy, and reduce the number of families living in poverty. Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City’s website provides information regarding lead-based paint hazards as well as links to HUD resources. The City addresses lead based paint hazards through mitigation as part of redevelopment efforts in older parts of Meridian. Meridian maintains communication with EPA approved and certified lead abatement contractor’s as well as lead testing facilities to complete lead clearance exams if required. Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City focuses primarily on job creation and availability of educational opportunities to reduce the number of persons living below the poverty level. The City’s Economic Development Division works to recruit new employers and encourage business expansion within Meridian. Meridian's CDBG program funds activities that provide homelessness prevention to families who are at risk of homelessness and financial assistance to homebuyers, among other activities. The City's local strategic plan intends to address poverty-based issues through the expansion of public services, focus on economic development, and expansion of quality employment opportunities for the jurisdiction’s LMI population. Meridian’s goal is to provide residents with access to services that will help stabilize their basic needs so they can focus on improving their lives. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City continuously seeks to enhance coordination and overcome gaps in institutional structure. Collaboration with Our Path Home, attendance at Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) and other stake-holder related events, and participation in regional coalitions and associations work toward the end-goal of enhancing coordination.

To address the internal structure, HUD is providing technical assistance to formalize standard operating procedures and guiding documents to monitor the program, track financials, ensure compliance, and address program requirements in a timely manner. Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) There are few capacity issues related to coordination between public and private organizations in Meridian and the surrounding area. However, the City's partnership and funding relationship with local housing services organizations including NeighborWorks Boise, Jesse Tree, and ACHA will continue to expand in the upcoming program year. Coordination with other organizations like CATCH, Boise Rescue Mission, Interfaith Sanctuary, and all members associated with Our Path Home, including private housing developers, will continue to be built upon to improve networks, coordination, and problem solving in the jurisdiction. The City’s collaboration with Our Path Home, housing and homelessness roundtables, and other regional coordination efforts contributes to the City's action plan for enhancing collaboration between public and private housing and social service agencies. Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) During the 2017-2021 Consolidated Planning period, the City of Meridian identified the following impediments to housing choice and access to opportunity:  Inaccessible infrastructure – Several sidewalks in Meridian were identified as needing improvement. During PY18, the City worked with the Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) to begin construction that will improve five (5) segments of sidewalks in a neighborhood with aging infrastructure that is occupied by seniors and low income residents. The construction is anticipated to be complete in early PY19.  Lack of affordable housing – Support preservation of housing occupied by low income homeowners and stabilization of affordable rental housing by assisting low income renter households and supporting the creation of affordable housing. Meridian will continue to use CDBG funds to work with currently funded projects and identify potential new projects that assist low income and special needs residents (e.g., provision of food staples, emergency repairs, and emergency rental assistance). During PY18, CDBG funds provided 35 households with emergency rental assistance, four (4) households with homeownership assistance, and 40 students with scholarships for extended care.  Lack of public transportation – Work regionally to improve transportation options. Meridian collaborated with the Meridian Transportation Commission, the Ada County Highway District Capital Improvement Citizen Advisory Committee (ACHD CICAC), and the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho Regional Technical Advisory Committee (COMPASS RTAC) to discuss the regional gaps in transportation options.  Lack of accessible housing – Increase education and understanding of fair housing laws by landlords, builders, and residents. Meridian has collaborated with the Boise, Caldwell, and Nampa CDBG Programs to develop a Fair Housing campaign.

This assessment is taken into consideration when the CDBG Scoring Committee is evaluating applications and making funding recommendations. During the program year, regular monitoring takes place with each draw. The activities submitted must comply with the stated requirements in the subrecipient agreements and provide requisite data (e.g. demographic data, payroll, etc.) for inspection prior to reimbursement. Formal monitoring is also conducted throughout the year. A risk analysis is included as an attachment to the Subrecipient Agreement and is used to determine if a project will require a desk-review or an onsite monitor for that program year. On-site monitoring occurs at least bi-annually to ensure subrecipients are meeting both the requirements and the intent of the CDBG program. A formal desk-review is conducted for every program year that does not require an onsite monitor. Other labor monitoring activities will be conducted, as activities require, according to all HUD and federal Davis Bacon labor requirements. Including minority business outreach. All relevant activities subject to these requirements will be monitored with on-site visits as frequently as required by regulations, more if circumstances require it. Desk-side monitoring takes place with each activity draw with staff and management from both Community Development and Finances departments needing to review and sign off on any reimbursement requests. The City is currently receiving technical assistance to improve the standard operating procedures and documents to guide the program, track financials, ensure compliance, and address program requirements in a timely manner. Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d) Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.
