1. Introduction
The City of Oshkosh is an entitlement community under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to
entitled cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a
suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and
moderate -income persons. The program is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as amended; 42 U.S.C.-530.1 et seq. (Source:
https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/cdbg-entitlement)
In compliance with HUD regulations, the City must prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years to
assess its affordable housing, community development, economic development, and strategic planning
needs. The needs and priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan are addressed annually through the
Annual Action Plans which present what specific activities the City will accomplish with CDBG and other
funding sources. To complete the CDBG program year, the City reports annually on the progress it has
made toward its Consolidated Plan goals in the nsolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
(CAPER).

PR-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(I)
1. Introduction
To develop the Consolidated Plan, the City of Oshkosh consulted with public and private agencies and
organizations that provide assisted housing, health services, and social services (including those focusing
on services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their
families, homeless persons), community -based and regionally -based organizations that represent
protected class members, and organizations that enforce fair housing laws. The City also consulted with
City residents. Input from the meetings and consultations were used establish the priority needs and
strategies to be addressed with CDBG funds during the FY 2020-2024 timeframe.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
The City's Community Development Department acts as the,single point of contact to coordinate efforts
between public and assisted housing providers, as well private and governmental health, mental
health, and social service agencies. The City works wit i'ifie follb ing agencies to enhance funding and
service allocations to address the housing and communit development needs of the area:
• City of Oshkosh Community Development Department - oversees the CDBG program
• Winnebago County Department of Human Services - provides care and protection to County
residents from infancy to old age, through consumer -focused programs designed to maintain
and improve the quality of life for consumers and their families
• City of Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority - manage the Public Housing and Section
8 Housing Choice Voucher Programs, create improvements to public housing communities, and
develop affordable housing
• Social Services Agencies - provides services to address the needs of low- and moderate -income
persons
• Housing Providers - rehabilitates and develops affordable housing for low- and moderate -
income families and individuals
• Winnebagoland Housing Coalition CoC - oversees the Continuum of Care Network for the City of
Oshkosh and Winnebago County.
Coordination with these entities will continue throughout the Five -Year Consolidated Plan period to
capitalize on potential future funding opportunities, as well as potential project partnerships, that would
result in increased benefits to low- and moderate -income households and persons.
Each year as part of the application planning process, local jurisdictions, agencies, and organizations are
invited to submit proposals for CDBG funds for eligible activities. These groups participate in the
planning process by attending the public hearings, informational meetings, and through electronic
updates. These groups are notified through the City's Community Development Department network of
upcoming meetings and funding opportunities. Also, the staff of the Community Development
Department have proactively been participating in additional community encounter opportunities and
forming partnerships to accomplish larger scale housing and community development activities.
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Oshkosh is a member of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition, under the Wisconsin Balance
of State Continuum of Care (WIBOSCOC). Winnebagoland Housing Coalition meets each month to
engage in conversations regarding homeless issues, as well as coordinating the efforts of a variety of
agencies serving youth, families, and veterans experiencing homelessness. WIBOSCOC is a corporation
that was originally administered by the State of Wisconsin, Division of Housing. The State removed itself
from WIBOSCOC in 2009, and in 2011 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were approved by the State
of Wisconsin. City of Oshkosh staff attends the local CoC meetings and acts as the City's representative.
The City coordinates its activities with the Continuum of Care and supports its applications for funds.
The City helps WIBOSCOC to address homelessness by working together to develop a framework to
deliver housing and supportive services to the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.
The Winnebagoland Housing Coalition identifies regional and local homeless issues; coordinates regional
planning; identifies regional housing gaps and needs, strategies, and .priorities; provides input for
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SVF) and Emergency Solutions _Grants (ESG) applications;
participates in completion of the CoC application; monitors Homeless Management Information Systems
(HMIS) participation and implementation; and coordinates and follows -up on the Point in Time (PIT)
count and Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR).
The Winnebagoland Housing Coalition has repre entation from multiple interest groups including: CDBG
Jurisdictions, Public Housing Authorities, domestic violence service providers, Veterans, youth service
providers, Community Action Partnerships, homeless service providers, and faith -based organizations.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develo funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
Most of WIBOSCOC ES unding is allocated by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of
Housing, Energy, and Community Resources (DEHCR). The CoC develops priorities, target populations,
outcome measures, and evaluation processes for ESG through an elected agency such as ADVCOAP,
including prioritizing Rapid ReHousing (RRH). The CoC decides on ESG funding ranking and project
scoring based on knowledge of projects, capacity of applicants and participation in CoC planning.
ADVOCAP, as the Collaborative Applicant and HMIS Lead, has access to the Point in Time and Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS) data.
The Winnebagoland CoC and the HMIS work together to assess data quality throughout the CoC. This
includes working on Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) submission, the PIT count, project
review/ranking, and working with individual programs while completing their Annual Performance
Reports (APRs). In total, there are 176 projects listed on the CoC's Housing Inventory Chart. There are
thirty-seven (37) beds at the Christine Ann Domestic Violence Shelter, thirty-four (34) beds at Father
Carr's Men's Shelter, and 105 beds at Father Carr's Women & Family Shelter. However, it is important to
note that while Father Carr's shelters show a significant number of beds available, the occupancy rate is
only between 25% - 40%. No new beds have been added to the CoC within the past four (4) years. Lastly,
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
the Day -by -Day Warming Shelter has twenty-five (25) beds during the winter months, open only from
October 151n through April 15tn
There are two (2) transitional housing projects within Winnebago County that are operated by
ADVOCAP. One project consists of two (2) agency -owned homes that can house a total of 10 people,
while the other is a scattered -site transitional housing project funded by the Department of Justice. The
DOJ-funded project can provide for three (3) individuals and ten (10) families per year. ADVOCAP also
operates a HUD -funded permanent supportive housing project, with five (5) households within Oshkosh
in scattered sites, and four (4) HUD -funded Rapid Re -Housing projects, with seventeen (17) households
in Oshkosh. However, there are zero Runaway or Homeless Youth beds being reported in Oshkosh or
Winnebago County. Additional outreach to volunteer and faith -based organizations will occur through
the implementation of coordinated entry. Increased engagement and education among these groups
should lead to increased HMIS participation. The CoC will work with Veterans to improve participation
among VA -funded projects.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to the 2011-2015 American Community Survey, there were 26,152 occupied housing units in
the City. Of those housing units, 9,389 (35.9%) were single person households. Of the City's single
person households, 3,400 (13.0%) were age 65 or older and were distributed between owner -occupied
housing units (1,771 senior single households or 52.1%) and renter -occupied housing units (1,622 senior
single households or 47.8%). Over a third of the City's single person households were seniors and can be
presumed to have additional special needs above and beyond the needs of single person households.
Special consideration in terms of housing affordability assistance for fixed incomes, aging in place needs,
accessibility modifications, and in home supportive services will be given to these 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.
Persons with Mental, Physical, and/or Developmental Disabilities - According to the 2011-2015
American Community Survey, 12.0% of the population have a disability. Of the Under 18 Population,
4.2% have a disability. Of the 18-64 Population, 9.7% have a disability. For the 18-64 Age Group, 1.4%
have a hearing difficulty, 1.2% have a vision difficulty, 5.1% have a cognitive difficulty, 4.6% have an
ambulatory difficulty, 1.5% have a self -care difficulty, and 3.4% have an independent living difficulty.
There is a need for accessible housing, employment opportunities, and supportive services.
Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking - Based on crime statistics
and social service agency responses, it can be estimated that a total of 1,000 single person households
and family households are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and
are in need of supportive services and houstrig assistance.
What are the most common housing problems?
The largest housing problem in the City and the surrounding region is housing affordability. According to
the 2011-2015 American Community Survey, 44.3% of renter households in the City paid rents that
exceeded 30% of their household income, 24.8% of owner households with a mortgage in the City had
housing costs that exceed 30% of their household income, and 15.5% of owner households without a
mortgage in the City had housing costs that exceed 30% of their household income.
Additional housing problems that were discussed in consultations and received from public comments
included: need for first time homebuyer assistance, housing counseling, handicap accessible housing,
availability of senior housing, availability of group home or communal living arrangements,
rehabilitation assistance, abatement of lead -based paint in housing units, and code compliance for
housing. The CoC has recognized the increased demand to assist families at risk of homelessness or
recently homeless through short term rental assistance, utility assistance and corresponding supportive
services.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
Based on the information provided by the U.S. Census data: renters; lower income owner households;
elderly persons; single person households; large families; victims of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault and stalking; and persons with disabilities are more affected by these housing problems.

the high cost of housing. Families and individuals. would greatly benefit from emergency housing

finding one -bedroom units in the area for further participants. Housing placement is client -driven; they
decide where they want to live, and the CoC is mindful of accessibility to transportation, grocery stores,
and other supportive institutions when suggesting potential sites.
The head of the Oshkosh Landlord Association frequently attends CoC meetings, and ADVOCAP, a
member of the CoC, attends Landlord Association meetings. This is a clear indication that there is an
established relationship between the CoC and landlords, though training of landlords remains informal.
When working with landlords, the CoC emphasizes the case management services provided by
ADVOCAP and other members. The CoC also has trained case managers to ensure that they address
those in Rapid Rehousing using best practices including housing first, housing focused case
management, harm reduction, motivational interviewing, and trauma -informed care.

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 McKinney-Vento Act established categories in the Homeless Definition Final Rule for the At -Risk
Group. The Act was amended to include assistance to those at risk of homelessness who did not meet
the definition in the Final Rule. These include: 1) individuals and families; 2) unaccompanied children
and youth; and 3) families with children and youth.
According to the CoC, the methodology used to generate estimates is based on historical incidence, such
as the yearly Point in Time Counts and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data.
Providers participating in the HMIS are required to collect and record certain data elements for all new
and continuing clients in the HMIS.
Imminent Risk of Homelessness - Persons who are housed and at imminent risk of losing housing include
people who at program entry or program exit are experiencing o the following:
• Being evicted from a private dwelling unit (includi using prov by family/friends)
• Being discharged from a hospital or other instit
• Living in a hotel or motel and lacking the n ' resources to remain housed in the

to remain housed
• Living in a hotel or motel and lacking the financial resources to remain housed in the

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness
The high cost of decent, safe and sanitary housing that is affordable and accessible in the City creates
instability and an increased risk of homelessness for lower income families in the area. Many families
are living from paycheck to paycheck and are paying over 30% of their income for housing, which may or
may not be decent, safe, sanitary and accessible. Additionally, single earner households with children
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
and persons in a household with a disability who are unable to obtain sustainable employment are at an
increased risk. Unexpected crises such as loss of income or loss of a second income earner to the
household and/or a medical or transportation emergency cost contribute to destabilizing low- and
moderate -income households. Many of these residents experience extreme rent burdens, become
unstable, and face homelessness with a first-time crises or loss of income. The lack of available
supportive housing and the cost overburden of housing as it relates to income/employment are the
major housing issues linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness.
Discussion
The population of the City of Oshkosh is increasing, as well as the cost of housing; many residents are
facing the effects of increased housing costs and a shortage of decent, safe and sanitary housing that is
affordable and accessible to low income persons. The City has determined the following Housing Priority
Need:
• There is a need for additional decent, safe and sanitary housing that is affordable and accessible
for homebuyers, homeowners, and renters.
The City will continue to address this housing need b . pporting the development of new affordable
housing units; assisting in the maintenance of affordable housing units; assisting renters and owners to
obtain affordable housing; providing housin bilitation assistance; and providing housing and
supportive service assistance to homeowners a re rs, including the homeless, those at risk of being
homeless, and other special needs groups. ��►
The ACS and CHAS data analyzed throughout the housing need (Section NA) section was provide by HUD
through the IDIS system. Additional housing needs were identified during consultations with
stakeholders and can be found in the Citizen Participation Appendix. Those needs were incorporated

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
Housing needs disaggregated by racial and ethnic groups were analyzed to determine if a group
disproportionately experienced a housing need as compared to the City's overall housing needs. A
disproportionately greater need was identified when a racial or ethnic group experienced a 10
percentage points or higher occurrence rate of housing problems. A housing problem is defined as one
of the four following housing problems: 1. housing lacks complete kitchen facilities; 2. housing lacks
complete plumbing facilities; 3. housing has more than 1 person per room; and 4. housing cost burden is
over 30%. The following tables evaluating the 2011-2015 CHAS and A data highlight disproportionate

disproportionately greater need was identified when a racial or ethnic group experienced a 10
percentage points or higher occurrence rate of severe housing problems. A severe housing problem is
defined as one of the four following housing problems: 1. housing lacks complete kitchen facilities; 2.
housing lacks complete plumbing facilities; 3. housing has more than 1.5 persons per room; and 4.
housing cost burden is over 50%. The following tables evaluating the 2011-2015 CHAS and ACS data

extremely low-income households. The waiting list is currently closed.
The most immediate needs of the ilies the w 'ng list include: decent, safe and sanitary housing
that is affordable and accessi su Ices such as employment training; access to
transportation for commuti to shopping, and medical services; and living wage job
opportunities.
How do these needs cgpare to housing needs of the population at large
The Housing Authorities' waiting lists are disproportionately representative of the extremely -low income
households of the City. While there are some similarities, such as the need for decent, safe and sanitary
housing that is affordable and accessible; the needs of the lowest income residents of Oshkosh are
specific to the need for highly subsidized housing.
Discussion
The Housing Authority is an important part of the City's housing strategy, especially for those that are
extremely low-income households. The City has identified that there is a need for housing to address
households affected by housing problems, severe housing problems and housing cost burdens.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c)
Introduction:
The City of Oshkosh is part of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition, which is part of the Wisconsin
Balance of State CoC. The Balance of State is split into 21 local homeless coalitions, each consisting of
the governance structure for a CoC. The Winnebagoland Housing Coalition addresses issues related to
homelessness in Fond du Lac, Green Lake, and Winnebago Counties. The CoC identifies regional and
local homeless issues; coordinate planning for projects; identify housing gaps and needs, strategies and
priorities; review, select, and monitor projects; monitor Homeless Management Information System
(HMIS) participation and implementation issues; and help coordinate and follow up on the point -in -time
count and AHAR (Annual Homeless Assessment Report). Committees of the CoC review and rank new
and renewal projects annually.
The Homeless Service Providers Network consists of a collaborat' etween various state agencies,
entitlement grantees, and direct homeless service provider roles of the Homeless Service
Providers Network are to identify and address policy issue t sta iorities, ensure coordination
among public and private agencies, and maximize use of stream an to resources. It also is the
lead entity in the Ten -Year planning process; conduc search, coordina s the Continuum of Care
(CoC) application process, and provides technical ass ance to 18 regional Continuums of Care and
individual grantees. It provides updates on discharge plans and state disaster planning. During monthly
meetings, the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition and the Homeless Service Providers Network report on
regional, municipal and county activities and concerns. The group also addresses issues and topics of
common interest that impact state and local homeless systems.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
Throughout the Winnebagoland CoC, the majority of homeless individuals and families, both sheltered
and unsheltered, are white. According to the July 2019 Point -in -Time Count of unsheltered individuals,
only one (1) individual was a minority. The only minority reported was black, and none of the thirteen
are Hispanic.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
Unsheltered Homelessness would refer to the segment of a homeless community who do not have
ordinary lawful access to buildings in which to sleep, as referred to in the HUD definition as persons
occupying "place not meant for human habitation", (examples: bus stop, beach, riverbed, van, RV,
sidewalk). Many of the unsheltered homeless suffer from substance abuse and/or mental illness, and
are reluctant to abide by the rules of the shelters. Father Carr's will not allow anyone to stay if actively
using drugs or excessively consuming alcohol regularly, nor will Father Carr's accept anyone with a
history of substance abuse within the last five (5) years. Day by Day Warming Shelter is more lenient,
and will allow individuals to stay as long as there are no disturbances caused by the drug use. According
to the July 2019 PIT Count, there were thirteen (13) unsheltered homeless persons within Oshkosh.
Sheltered Homelessness would refer to those in an emergency shelter, in transitional housing, or are
exiting an institution where they temporarily resided lacking a fixed night time residence. Substance
abuse and/or mental illness is also an issue with people considered sheltered homeless. People will
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 39
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
retain a homeless designation if they were homeless prior to entering and then exiting an institution
where they have resided for less than 30 days. People will not be considered homeless if they remain in
an institution over 90 days, but will be considered homeless again if they spend a night in an emergency
shelter or out on the streets. People who stay in a motel are considered sheltered homeless as well if it
is documented that an agency or someone else paid for the room. Doubling up in someone else's home
does not count as sheltered homeless. The sheltered homeless typically do not have a steady source of
income, or any source of income. According to the 2019 PIT Count, there were 63 sheltered homeless
persons in Oshkosh.
Discussion:
The CoC has a Coordinated Entry workgroup that follows HUD requirements ensuring all CoC and ESG
funded programs follow a housing first model. Shelters admit clients with substance abuse and/or
mental health issues, and criminal backgrounds. The coordinated entry system has improved shelter
access throughout the area and ensures available beds are utilized. The CoC is actively coordinating with
privately funded shelters to collect homeless data and to encour 4tilization of the coordinated entry
system and housing first model. The CoC relies on information rbm Aj , holders to identify and target
known locations of unsheltered homeless people to analyze housing` oo ds of unsheltered persons.

NA-45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
To determine the City's non -homeless needs the City assessed the housing needs of residents who are
not homeless but require supportive housing. The assessment includes the following groups:
• Elderly Persons (65 years and older)
• Frail Elderly
• Persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities
• Persons with Alcohol or other Drug Addiction
• Persons with HIV/AIDS and their families
• Victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking
The needs of each one of these groups were determined through consultations with stakeholders and
analysis of statistical data.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in our community:
Elderly Persons (65 years and older) - According to the 201 -2015 American Community Survey, the
elderly population represents 13.1% of the City's total pop ion. Elderly households tend to be on
fixed incomes, may need some supportive services for basic lifeWctions, and may require accessibility
adaptations to their living units. Additionally, there is alPneed for transportation and housing
rehabilitation assistance.
Frail Elderly - According to the 2011-2015 mmunity Survey 35.6% of the elderly population
have a disability: 16.5% have a hearing difficu , .2% have a vision difficulty, 8.6% have a cognitive
difficulty, 23.8%, have an ambulatory difficulty, 8.1% have a self -care difficulty, and 14.6% have an
independent living difficulty. There is a need for accessibility modifications for housing units occupied by
frail elderly individuals.
Persons with Mental, Physical, and/or Developmental Disabilities - According to the 2011-2015
American Community Survey, 12.0% of the population have a disability. Of the Under 18 Population,
4.2% have a disability. Of the 18-64 Population, 9.7% have a disability. For the 18-64 Age Group, 1.4%
have a hearing difficulty, 1.2% have a vision difficulty, 5.1% have a cognitive difficulty, 4.6% have an
ambulatory difficulty, 1.5% have a self -care difficulty, and 3.4% have an independent living difficulty.
There is a need for accessible housing, employment opportunities, and supportive services.
Persons with Alcohol or other Drug Addiction — According to the 2015 Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's Prevention Status Reports for the State of Wisconsin, 22.1% of adults reported binge
drinking in 2014, and 18.4% of high school students reported binge drinking in 2013. The Winnebago
County Health Department publishes a Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) report that
monitors six types of health -risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability
among youth and adults. The 2019 data supports the CDC Prevention Status Reports: 26% of adults were
considered Excessive Drinkers, consuming 4+ drinks for women, and 5+ drinks for men on occasion, or
31+ drinks within the past month for women, and 61+ drinks within the past month for men.
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 41
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Wisconsin's drug overdose death rate for 2013 was 15/100,000, which exceeds the national rate of
13.8/100,000.
There is a need for supportive services and housing opportunities.
According to the Winnebago County Health Department, in accordance with the State, HIV/AIDS cases in
Winnebago County is so low that providing current, detailed information could potentially violate
patient confidentiality. In response to the City's query, the Winnebago County Health Department
provided the Wisconsin HIV Surveillance Annual Review. The Annual Review is for 2018, which is the
latest Annual Review available. According to the review, there has been a decline in new diagnoses of
HIV in Wisconsin for the past ten (10) years. There were five (5) times as many males diagnosed with HIV
than females. 92% of those individuals living with HIV that were under care were virally suppressed,
which means sexual transmission of HIV is prevented and health is improved. Winnebago County, from
2013-2017, had only twenty (20) cases of HIV, and only two (2) in 2018. Among the twenty cases,
fourteen (14) were diagnosed with HIV, and six (6) were diagnosed with HIV Stage 3 (AIDS). Eighteen
(18) were male, and two (2) were female, and a majority were No other information on race or
ethnicity were provided. There was one (1) case of acquisition oUW4 l;' ejection drug use, two (2) cases
of heterosexual intercourse, and fourteen (14) cases of gay isexual mb..,intercourse. There is a need
for supportive services and housing opportunities.
Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking - Based on crime statistics
and social service agency responses, it can be estimated that a total of 1,000 single person households
and family households are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and
are in need of supportive services and/or housing assistance. There is a need for supportive services and
housing opportunities. 141111111111111L 1W

cases were White, and the rest of the racial breakdown was not provided, per Wisconsin policy. 5 (2S%)
cases were age 20-29, 3 (24%) cases were 30-39, and 6 (23%) cases were age 40-49; 4 cases (20%) were
50-59, 2 (10%) cases were 60+, and 1 (5%) case was injection drug use, 14 (70%) cases were gay or
bisexual male intercourse, 2 (10%) cases were heterosexual contact and 3 (15%) were other/unknown.
There is a need for supportive services and housing opportunities.

Discussion
Almost two-thirds (67.7%) of the City's housing stock was built prior to 1970, which is now 50 years old.
Since 2010, there were 150 housing units built, or 0.5% of the housing stock built, as compared to the
previous ten-year period, 2000-2009, when 2,771 housing units, or 9.8% of the housing stock, were
built. Single unit detached is the most common type of housing unit, representing 54.2% of the housing
stock. The City's ratio of owner -occupied housing units to renter -occupied housing units is
approximately 1 to 1. The City is prioritizing the development of renter -occupied housing units and the
maintenance of owner -occupied housing units. There is a need for a wider variety of housing types in
the City, particularly with the lack of affordable housing in the area. Additional affordable rental housing

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
There is a need for affordable housing at all income levels below median HAMFI. The demand is the
proportionately greatest at lower income levels.
Based on the 2011-2015 ACS data, the following housing affordability applies to City residents:
• Household Income < $20,000 — 18.7% of owner-p4Kpie d 11.0% of renter -occupied
households live in affordable housing
• Household Income $20,000 to $35,000 — 54 <owner-occupied

occupied households live in affordable housing
• Household Income $50,000 to $75,000 — ner-occupied and 96.0% of renter -
occupied households live in affordable ho n
How is affordability of housing likely to c ange nsidering changes to home values and/or
rents? 46.
Based on a comparison of the 2005-2009 American Community Survey and the 2011-2015 American
Community Survey, the City experienced population growth and an increase in household median
income over the five-year period analyzed. In general, these changes have affected the housing market
by increasing the demand for housing while incomes to afford housing have not increased to keep pace.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this
impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
The area median rent is calculated by the U.S. Census to be $571 which is approximately the cost of a
one -bedroom rental and within market expectations. The average rents posted commercially exceed the
area median rent and fair market rents by a large factor. The rental market in Oshkosh is competitive.
Discussion
The housing market is strong in the City. The median home value and the median contract rent have
almost doubled in the last fifteen years. This has created a problem for lower -income households who
cannot afford to purchase a home or pay the area rent. As the City grows in population and the demand
for housing increases, there are fewer options for affordable housing.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
According to the 2011-2015 ACS data, 1965 was the median year all housing units were built. On
average the City's housing units are over SS years old and in need of housing rehabilitation. Additionally,
there is a greater need for rental rehabilitations.
The cost of rehabilitation in many situations exceeds the incomes and assets of many low- and
moderate -income persons, as well as the market value of many affordable housing units. To offset this
disparity, there is a need for increased federal and state funding to provide financial rehabilitation
assistance to owner -occupied and renter -occupied housing units to sustain and increase the supply of
affordable housing.

Lead -based paint is one of the most significant environmental factors that affects residential housing
units. Lead -based paint in residential housing can cause severe health risks for children. In 1978, lead
was banned from use in residential paint. It is estimated that 20 million housing units in the United
States contain lead -based paint hazards, which includes flaking or peeling of lead -based paint and
excessive levels of tiny lead particles in household dust. HUD estimates that 3.8 million homes
containing such immediate lead hazards are occupied by families with young children who are at
immediate risk of lead poisoning.
According to CHAS data, it is estimated that there are 1,120 (or 8% of) owner -occupied housing units
and 550 (or 4% of) renter -occupied housing units built before 1980 with children present located in the
City that present a lead -based paint hazard risk.
Discussion
There are 2,750 (20%) owner -occupied housing units and 5,210 (42%) renter -occupied housing unit in
the City with one selected housing condition. The housing stock is older and in need of rehabilitation to
bring housing units up to code, accessibility, and removal of lead -based paint.

during natural or technological disasters. The Winnebago County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan: 2015-
2019 outlines a unified plan to mitigate the effects of hazards on property, people, and assets.
The mitigation objectives of the Plan are: Reduce long-term risk to people and property from natural
hazards; Speed recovery and response in the event of a natural disaster; Minimize repetitive losses;
Protect the economic health of the community; Save tax dollars; Qualify Winnebago County and the
other local units of governments that adopt this plan for future Federal funding for qualified mitigation
activities. Source: Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan: 2015-2019

LMI households are at a greater risk of loss due to the increased natural hazard risks associated with
climate change. City rehabilitation and redevelopment efforts recognize the possible impacts severe
weather can have on LMI households. As such, activities are designed to promote sustainability. The City
complies with HUD environmental review requirements that obligate the City to assess federally funded
projects regarding an undertaking's potential environmental and human health impact, especially as it
relates to LMI and minority populations. Additionally, the City requires flood insurance for any activity
that occurs in a flood zone.

fair housing requirements. They provide consultation to developers and municipalities to ensure that
rental and for -sale units are marketed in accordance with the affirmative marketing rules of the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. LAW ensures that all housing programs and services
provided by the City, its municipalities, and LAW itself, are administered in a way that promotes fair
housing on the basis of race, national origin, religion, gender, disability, and familial status.

Introduction
Community development planning is the process by which the City identifies and seeks to achieve the
most desirable future for the community. The development planning process has two principle
outcomes: the first is a consensus on pursuing the vision for future growth; the second is a land use
plan. Development planning involves the promotion of community goals and potential, including the
development of human capital, a broader focus than simply land use or public facility provision.
Community -based economic development is aimed at bringing members of all groups into the local
economy. Efforts take a variety of forms, ranging from the construction of affordable housing, to the
establishment of businesses that support local workers, and through training opportunities that meet
the local needs. The local labor force needs to be prepared to take a&&Ntage of job opportunities.

Oshkosh is a participating member of the Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation (GO-
EDC). The purpose of the Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation is to preserve the health
of existing companies, foster a positive entrepreneurial environment, connect companies to workforce
and talent development resources, enhance the business climate and promote the quality of life in the
greater Oshkosh area.
GO-EDC's vision: The Greater Oshkosh area and Winnebago County will build upon its strong economic
base of existing industries, diversify the economic base by encouraging new industries, and improve the
regional quality of life.
GO-EDC's 2018-2020 Strategic Plan contains four (4) initiatives:
1. Business Retention & Expansion - A healthy and vibrant local economy depends on the well-
being of a community's existing firms or
'%
2. Workforce Development (Talent Retention & Attractiorl01"The single greatest influencing factor
as to how quickly the Greater Oshkosh economy will grow is workforce and talent development.
The population of the Greater Oshkosh region is not growing at a fast pace, and a better match
is needed for growing the pipeline of graduates entering into careers of demand by area
employers. Due to its unique private -public collaborative structure, Greater Oshkosh is focused
on being the connector among business, education, and government in facilitating the solutions
for the community's workforce needsf
3. Entrepreneurial Growth - Gre Oshkos believes in helping our own businesses grow and
striving to keep them here. Ou gion has many high -growth, high -value, and mature business
and industry. To become a more sustainable region, however, the greater Oshkosh needs to
continue cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, while growing a pipeline of
new companies that want to start and grow in our community, including graduating students.
4. Targeted Industry Development - In order to build upon the core strengths of greater Oshkosh
and achieve diversity within the economic base of the community, Greater Oshkosh will lead
targeted industry development, collaborate with complementary partners to achieve such aims,
and be resourceful in anticipating new and innovative opportunity. The target segments
primarily focus on manufacturing, IT, and aviation, but also downtown redevelopment,
economic improvements in areas of economic distress, and blight elimination.
GO-EDC has a number of completed and ongoing initiatives that impact economic growth such as the
Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) and the Grow EDC Campaign. The Revolving Loan Fund encourages job
creation and promotes local economic development by serving as a flexible financing tool for local
businesses. The RLF has lower interest levels and more accessible eligibility requirements for businesses
to obtain a large range of loans, from a minimum of $2S,000 to a maximum of $2S0,000. GO-EDC will
work with businesses to achieve the maximum impact of the loans, including tailored interest rates, loan
terms, and repayment plans. The Grow EDC Campaign encourages investors to contribute to the City of
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 67

Oshkosh's growth, stating that for every dollar spent in Greater Oshkosh, forty-three dollars ($43) are
reinvested on the local economy. Grow EDC's campaign goal is to raise $2 Million in funds over the
course of three (3) years, from 2018-2020, and invest it in local businesses, entrepreneurs, established
industries, and workforce development. Investor levels are determined by increments of $5,000 in early
levels, with the highest level, the Founder's Club designation, starting at $50,000. Founders Club
members include Oshkosh Corporation, the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, JEK Foundation, and
Oshkosh Area Community Foundation. There are over 60 Associate -level investors that made
investments between $1,000 to $4,999.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
The City defines an Area of Minority Concentration as:
• A neighborhood in which the percentage of persons of a particular racial or ethnic minority is at
least 20 points higher than that minority's percentage in the housing market as a whole;
• The neighborhood's total percentage of minority persons is at least 20 points higher than the
total percentage of minorities for the housing market area as a whole; or
• In the case of a metropolitan area, the neighborhood's total percentage of minority persons
exceeds 50 percent of its population.
There are no Census Tracts in Oshkosh that qualify as areas of minority concentration. The following
map shows no areas with minority concentration.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
On February 14, 2019, HUD issued notice CPD 19-02, "Low- and Moderate -Income Summary Data
Updates" which announced the publication of updated low- and moderate -income summary data
(LMISD) based on the American Community Survey 2011-2015 5-year estimates (2015 ACS). The LMISD
replaces the prior LMISD based on the American Community Survey 2006-2010 5-year estimates (2010
ACS). The LMISD is used for the purpose of identifying areas that are eligible under the CDBG National
Objective of providing benefit to low- and moderate -income persons on an area basis ("Area Benefit" or
LMA). The City of Oshkosh has an overall low- and moderate -income percentage of 50.81%.
The following Census Tracts and Block Groups qualify as low- and moderate -income: CT 100 BG 3
77.42%; CT 200 BG 3 71.00%; CT 400 BG 1 54.25%; CT 400 BG 2 67.21%; CT 400 BG 3 57.51%; CT 500 BG

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
The City allocates its CDBG funds to primarily benefit low- and moderate -income persons. The Public
Facilities and Infrastructure Improvement activities are either located in a low and moderate income
census area or have a low and moderate income service area benefit or clientele. The Housing, Public
Service, Homeless, Other Special Needs, and Job Creation activities have an income eligibility criterion;
therefore, the income requirement restricts funds only to low and moderate income households
throughout the City.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
The City's Municipal Code Chapter 9 covers Emergency and Disaster Planning and Response, allowing
the Common Council to declare by resolution an emergency, "whenever conditions arise by reason of
war, conflagration, flood, heavy snow storm, blizzard, catastrophe, disaster, riot or civil commotion, acts
of God, and including conditions without limitation because of enumeration, which impair
transportation, food or fuel supplies, medical care, fire, health or police protection or other vital
facilities of the city." Chapter 9 confers emergency powers to the City Manager, including the ability to
direct emergency response activities, execute contracts for emergency construction or repair of public
improvements, and the power to purchase or lease goods and services deemed necessary to the City's
emergency response.
The City of Oshkosh is located along the Fox River and along the shores of Lake Winnebago in the
Eastern part of Wisconsin. Natural hazard risks, as mentioned in the City's Municipal Code Chapter 9,
include increased flooding due to heavier rains, as well as stronger, more concentrated snow storms
throughout the winter. Per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's national Centers for
Environmental Information, "the frequency of extreme snowstorms in the eastern two-thirds of the
contiguous United States has increased over t >tbbpast century. Approximately twice as many extreme
U.S. snowstorms occurred in the latter half of the 20" century than the first," and "in the Midwest and
northeastern states, the frequency of heavy downpours has increased. In many regions, floods and
water quality problems are likely tq& worse because of climate change."
Describe the vulnerability the?Ws of housing occupied by low- and moderate -income
households based on z, i of , finds, and methods.
The City recognizes th ed to pr ct the most vulnerable residents from the effects of climate
change. Currently, the Cit d er stakeholders fund the Day by Day Warming Shelter, which

CoC meetings. The CoC receives Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, as well as Rapid Rehousing
funds that address the risk of homelessness and those experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the City
ensures that homes are kept up to code for the safety of its residences. The City of Oshkosh offers City-
wide housing programs for owner -occupied and renter -occupied housing to ensure that rehabilitation is

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The Strategic Plan is a guide for the City of Oshkosh to establish its housing, homeless, other special
needs, community development, economic development, and planning priorities, objectives, and
strategies that it anticipates will be completed during the next five years. The FY 2020-2024 Strategic
Plan has been developed based on evaluating the needs and problems experienced by the residents of
the City. This strategy is the result of the City's needs assessment and market analysis, which has
determined the City's priorities based on this examination.
The goals, objectives, and activities are designed to assist those households with incomes less than 80%
of the area median income (AMI). This group is referred to as the ;"target income" group. Areas in the
City with 51% or more of households with incomes less than 80%' Ali ,,are designated as CDBG Target
Areas. The City of Oshkosh has an overall low- and modem-income�pop,ulation of 50.81%. The City
determined its goals and objectives for the FY 2020-202 Consolidated Platnon the following guiding
principles, which provided the framework for the develi pP nent of e Five -Year Consolidated Plan:
• Assist - Develop comprehensive strategies to support and assist those in need in the City
• Involve - Involve the community and provide opportunities for public input and involvement in
the Five -Year Consolidated Plan process and preparation of the report
• Collaborate - Encourage collaboration between public, private, and non-profit agencies in order
to ensure the most efficientend effective services
• Leverage - Leverage CDBG//unds ther local resources to maximize the effectiveness of
programs and services
• Promote -Encourage and su t outside agencies and organizations to undertake specific
projects and programs to as�t to nd moderate -income persons
The City's priority needs were deterrr fed based on:
• existing data on the needs of the community
• through consultation with jurisdictional decision makers
• community stakeholders
• public hearings
• resident surveys
• local and regional planning documents
The key factors affecting the determination of the five-year priorities include the following:
• The types of target income households with greatest need for assistance
• The City's low- and moderate -income areas with the greatest need
• Those activities that will best address the needs of City residents
• The limited amount of funding available to meet the needs
• The ability to leverage additional resources

families, families with children, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth)
Father Carr's Men's Shelter has 34 beds, while Father Carr's )`men &Ibmily Shelter has 105 beds. It is
important to note that although both shelters have a I number of beds available, the occupancy
rates of the shelters are generally between 25% - 40%.
Christine Ann Domestic Violence Shelter provide 37 beds, ell as counseling services for women and
children experiencing abuse. Women and child t hav stay at the shelter in order to receive
services.
ADVOCAP has a variety of housing projects, inclu two (2) transitional housing projects, permanent

Ir
The Day by Day Warming Sh s a onal shelter open from October 151h to April 15th with 25 beds.
Oshkosh Area Commu Pantry ha n op "shopping' format for the pantry, which allows customers
to choose their own iterrifmLustomers may come once a month, based on an alphabetical schedule. The
Oshkosh Area Communit try so has a Home Delivery Program for Seniors and people with
disabilities.
There are various churches throughout the City that provide food pantry services to residents in need.
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
Many of the homeless providers in the City of Oshkosh cooperate and are capable of ensuring homeless
persons and persons with special needs are able to find the relevant service provider. This includes
public entities. There is a need for a shelter that operates year-round at all hours of the day. However,
this shelter is difficult to fund. There is also a need for a shelter for youths aged 18-24. This is a growing
population in the area and the CoC is actively increasing outreach services to engage this population.
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 90
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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
The City of Oshkosh has partnered with various City and county agencies, nonprofits, and service
providers to carry out the services required by special needs populations. However, there are significant
needs for mental health services and addiction counseling services in the region. There is also a need to
provide public transit to bring special needs populations to the places where they can receive services.
The City will continue to partner with nonprofits that manage partnerships with these organizations and
assist persons with special needs.

SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement — 91.215(c)
Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary
Compliance Agreement)
The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority is not required by a Section 504 Voluntary
Compliance Agreement. The Housing Authority makes reasonable accommodations as per tenant
requests for disabilities. The Housing Authority maintains a Section 504 Plan and all new housing units
will be designed to be visitable and meet accommodation standards.
Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
Residents of the Oshkosh Housing Authority have an annual meeting with the Executive Director, as well
as bi-monthly meetings with property managers and social workers. Additionally, there is a tenant from
Raulf Place on the Housing Authority Board. The Housing Authority also sends out newsletters to
residents to keep them informed on Housing Authority activities and initiatives. In order to better serve
non-English speaking public housing residents, the Hous' Authority has translators available for
residents. Additionally, the housing authority invites a g speaker at an annual employee event, and
sends out monthly Fair Housing online newsletters to 4gaff.
Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902?
No, the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing AuN rit signated as a "troubled" housing
authority. IddiRL

SP-55 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City of Oshkosh is preparing an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The Al
identified local jurisdictional and regional collaborative actions the City will undertake over the next five
years to address fair housing choice and housing affordability.
City of Oshkosh Community Development Department routinely responds to questions from City
residents pertaining to the Fair Housing Act and its provisions. City staff is familiar with local Ordinances
and Federal laws concerning fair housing that are designed to protect all residents of the community
from discrimination.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
Legal Action of Wisconsin (LAW) provides legal aid related to affordable housing, serving low-income
residents living in the City. LAW staff provides assistance to residents who face eviction, are denied
housing, or are forced to live in uninhabitable conditions. Information on foreclosures, consumer issues,
and fair housing is also provided to the residents. LAW policies and activities promote the awareness of
fair housing requirements. They provide consultation to developers and municipalities to ensure that
rental and for -sale units are marketed in accordance with the affirmative marketing rules of the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. LAW ensures that all housing programs and services
provided by the City, its municipalities, and LAW itself, are administered in a way that promotes fair
housing on the basis of race, national o ' ' , religion, gender, disability, and familial status.
Fair Housing Center of Northeasteo Wisconsin (FHCNW) is a sub -recipient of FY 2020 CDBG funds to
provide housing counseling for people with disabilities who are living on limited income and may be at -
risk of homelessness. The City contracts with FHCNW for fair housing services. The FHCNW Outreach &
Education Program provides fair housing training for interested parties, fair housing technical assistance
for government agencies, development and distribution of fair housing educational materials, and
presentations to the general public. The mission of FHCNW is to promote fair housing throughout the
State of Wisconsin by combating illegal housing discrimination and by creating and maintaining racially
and economically integrated housing patterns.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The Winnebagoland Continuum of Care operates a Coordinated Entry System, which ensures that those
at -risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness are connected to resources and services. The
system ensures the management of access, assessment, prioritization, and referral to housing and
services for any person experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness throughout the region. There
is not a main number to handle intake via phone, but the Continuum of Care members are known
throughout the community. The Continuum of Care has working relationships with the shelters, Human
Services, the schools, and other community institutions that would regularly interact with people at -risk
of homelessness. Service providers are trained in housing first, the VI-SPDAT assessment, and other best
practices to assist homeless persons in receiving proper services. The CoC has a Coordinated Entry
Marketing & Outreach process that includes "No Wrong Door' posters that provide information and
assistance not only to individuals, but also to professionals that require help with a client. The posters
are also placed at the library, at 24-hour gas stations, la romats, food pantries, and other social
service agencies. Additionally, a Coordinated Entry Spec' with ADVOCAP conducts outreach every
week at Father Carr's, ensuring that any guest there a as ed and referred to the prioritization
lists. Outreach to homeless persons is conducted by s oviders. This outreach, combined with
case management, was funded by the CoC in FY 2019.
The CoC rarely receives calls for youth under t ge nThas never found any homeless youth
during its Point in Time counts. The Oshkosh Scho rict t cks homeless families, but use a different
definition of homeless than HUD. Th School Distri ounts youth in doubled -up situations. Anecdotally,
families leaving other Wisconsin s come to Os sh for opportunities and for the school district.
When plans change, children are i frien amily members to continue their education, while
parents move on seek other rtu s.
Addressing the eme ncy and t siti al housing needs of homeless persons
Oshkosh addresses the housing needs of the homeless population within the City through ADVOCAP
steering of CoC funds to various projects.
The following facilities serve the City of Oshkosh:
• Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services, 206 Algoma Blvd, Oshkosh, WI 54901
• Day by Day Warming Shelter, 449 High Avenue, Oshkosh, WI 54901
• Father Carr's, 1062 N. Koeller St., Oshkosh, WI 54902

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
The CoC has implemented various strategies to ensure that those transitioning out of homelessness are
able to procure permanent housing. Diversion strategies have been used to place those that go through
intake with the CoC into Rapid Rehousing. Rapid Rehousing providers have been trained in best
practices including housing first strategy, focused case management, harm reduction, motivational
interviewing, and trauma -informed care.
Rapid Rehousing programs are connected to the landlords and households with affordable units to
sustain permanent housing. The CoC makes sure to focus on in -home case management and engage
with landlords. Additionally, the CoC partners with mainstream service providers, such as workforce
development, child care, transportation, and other resource promote long-term stability for persons
and their families that have transitioned out of homeles s. There are also 5 Permanent Supportive
Housing beds dedicated to chronically homeless house S.
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 QFive-ar

The Winnebagoland CoC does no aStrategic Plan. There are limited resources for
prevention funds in Oshkosh and Winnebago County. However, a member of Day by Day has just joined
the new WIBOSCOC Diversion Committee; the CoC expects to see guidance in prevention resulting from
the new committee.
Coordinated entry processes help communities prioritize assistance based on vulnerability and severity
of service needs to ensure that people who need assistance the most can receive it in a timely manner.
Coordinated entry processes also provide information about service needs and identify gaps to help
communities plan their assistance and resources.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
On February 14, 2019, HUD issued notice CPD 19-02, "Low- and Moderate -Income Summary Data
Updates" which announced the publication of updated low- and moderate -income summary data
(LMISD) based on the American Community Survey 2011-2015 5-year estimates (2015 ACS). The LMISD
replaces the prior LMISD based on the American Community Survey 2006-2010 5-year estimates (2010
ACS). The LMISD is used for the purpose of identifying areas that are eligible under the CDBG National
Objective of providing benefit to low- and moderate-incom<iper s on an area basis ("Area Benefit" or
LMA). The City of Oshkosh has an overall low- and moderat percentage of 50.81%.
The following Census Tracts and Block Groups qualify as moderate -income (CTs BGs LMI% >
50.81% established by HUD for the City of Oshkosh C.T. 1077.42%; C.T. 200 B.G. 3 71.00%; C.T.

C.T. 800 B.G. 2 56.60%; C.T. 900 B.G. 2 52.40%; C.T. 1000 B.G. 1 65.00%; C.T. 1000 B.G. 2 76.85%; C.T.
1100 B.G. 1 71.43%; C.T. 1100 B.G. 2 51.74%; C.T. 1200 B.G. 2 52.00%; C.T. 1300 B.G. 1 65.96%; C.T.
1400 B.G. 1 63.46%; C.T. 15 B.G. 71.01%; C.T. 1500 B.G. 2 56.36%; C.T. 1700 B.G. 2 55.13%; C.T.
1700 B.G. 3 56.31%. A*
The City allocates its C funds to rimarily benefit low- and moderate -income persons. The Public
Facilities and Infrastructu prov ent activities are either located in a low and moderate income
census area or have a low a erate income service area benefit or clientele. The Housing, Public
Service, Homeless, Other Specia Needs, and Job Creation activities have an income eligibility criterion;
therefore, the income requirement restricts funds only to low and moderate income households
throughout the City.
Discussion
The geographic locations and the public benefit for the FY 2020 CDBG Activities/Projects are as follows:
• Central City Redevelopment
• Housing Rehabilitation
• Public Services
• Planning and Program Administration

Discussion
The City of Oshkosh has identified that there is a need for decent, safe and sanitary housing that is
affordable and accessible to address the households affected by housing problems, severe housing
problems, and housing cost burdens. The largest groups affected by housing problems are the extremely
low-income households and senior households. The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority is
an important part of the City's affordable housing strategy and the primary assisted housing provider of
housing for extremely low income, very low income, and lower income residents of the City of Oshkosh.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The Wisconsin Balance of State CoC (WIBOSCOC) serves a total of sixty-nine (69) counties. The 69
counties are organized into twenty-one (21) geographically dispersed local homeless coalitions. The City
of Oshkosh is part of the Winnebagoland CoC. The region is made up of two (2) counties which include:
Fond du Lac County and Winnebago County.
According to the WIBOSCOC governance charter, the purpose of the Wisconsin Balance of State CoC is
to lead and support the efforts of its members to end homelessness. The CoC works toward ending
homelessness by providing leadership to providers of homeless services and ensuring the efficient and
effective delivery of housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing
homelessness or at risk of homelessness. This includes strongly encouraging community -wide
commitment to ending homelessness, providing funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and
promoting access to and effective use of mainstream programs by individuals and families experiencing
homelessness. This mission will be pursued through the development of long-range plans to prevent and
end homelessness in the geographic area, as well a e coordination necessary for successful
implementation. The responsibilities of the CoC include follo�Apg:
• Those responsibilities outlined and defined by rele Federal law;
• Coordinate, or be involved in the coordination o I housing and services for persons
experiencing homelessness within the Corporation's- o aphic area;
• Establish and operate the HMIS within the Corporation s geographic area;
• Establish and operate, or designate, the centralized and coordinated assessment to be used
within the Corporation's geographic area.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The Winnebago Continuum of Care completes a regular "Point in Time Count Survey" each January and
July to determine the number of homeless individuals and families in the Winnebagoland region. Based
on the Point in Time Count (PITC) conducted during July 2019, the following numbers of homeless
persons were reported in the Winnebagoland CoC: Unsheltered - 13 individuals, and 0 persons under
the age of 18; Transitional Housing - 31 individuals, 11 households, and 20 persons under the age of 18;
and sheltered - 63 individuals, 48 households, and 1S persons under the age of 18.
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 122
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The biggest risk factors of homelessness continued to be: 1) a person or family double -up with another
family, 2) being released from a psychiatric facility, 3) being released from a substance abuse treatment
facility, or 4) being released from a correctional facility.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Oshkosh uses the coordinated entry process established by the Winnebagoland CoC to
ensure the homeless crisis response system is easy to access, the needs of the homeless population are
quickly identified and assessed, and priority decisions are based on those identified needs.
Coordinated Entry was approved in November 201S and was implemented system -wide by March 31,
2016, and then updated system -wide by January 1, 2018. The policy coordinates access, assessment and
referral to housing and services for families and individuals in the City of Oshkosh and Winnebago
County experiencing or at imminent risk of becoming homelessness.
Any family or individual experiencing a housing crisis in Oshkosh or Winnebago County can either call
the police or visit a designated coordinated entry provider. Veterans, people fleeing domestic violence,
and transitional age or runaway youth will be immediately connected to appropriate services. Families
and single adults will be assessed using a national best practice vulnerability and service prioritization
tool called VI-SPDAT. Consumers are then referred and connected to appropriate housing and services
as they become available. The value of a coordinated entry system for housing crisis response services is
described by the WIBOSCOC Coordinated Entry Manual:
• The process will be easy for t, and provide quick and seamless entry to homelessness
services
• Individuals and families ere most appropriate resource(s) for their individual
situation
• The process will p lic on of services
• The process w' duce length of homelessness
• The process wi rove communication among agencies
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
Using the HUD System Performance Measure Guidance, the HMIS Lead developed a CoC Performance
Report with metrics for "Length of Time Homeless" (LOTH) and reviewed this data with the CoC Data
Committee which meets quarterly to review CoC Performance and identify needed interventions. The
strategies to reduce the length of time of homelessness include: 1) Coordinated Entry through the
Vulnerability Index & Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool which included LOTH as a
prioritization factor; 2) the CoC adopted a protocol that mirrors CPD 14-012, "Notice on Prioritizing
Persons Experiencing Chronic Homelessness and Other Vulnerable Homeless Persons in Permanent
Supportive Housing and Recordkeeping Requirements for Documenting Chronic Homeless Status",
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 123
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
which directs Permanent Supportive Housing resources to those with the greatest LOTH; 3) the CoC
increased its Rapid Rehousing inventory with the goal of housing people within 30 days of becoming
homeless; and 4) the Data Committee reviewed aggregate and project level performance data quarterly
to identify where LOTH was not decreasing.
Through the use of the VISPDAT, the CoC prioritizes the most vulnerable families. Rapid Rehousing (RRH)
programs, along with all project types, are expected to serve families based on their vulnerability score,
while utilizing a Housing First approach. The use of RRH has increased throughout the CoC. ESG funds
are prioritized for RRH over homeless prevention services. An increase in Supportive Services for
Veteran Families (SSVF) resources are being utilized to rapidly rehouse veteran families.
The CoC also aims to reduce the rate of individuals and families who return to homelessness. The
Wisconsin Balance of State CoC looks at reoccurrence rates as part of the project scoring for HUD
Competition each year. The WIBOSCOC looks at one and two-year returns. Winnebagoland CoC's
Permanent Supportive Housing project has a 0% return, one Rapid Rehousing project has an 8% return,
and another RRH project has an 11% return.
As of January 2020, there are twenty-two (22) individuals that meet the definition of "chronically
homeless". However, during the last Point -in -Time count, given the short amount of time spent on
surveying homeless individuals, there was no way for CoC members and volunteers to ascertain that any
of the individuals met the definition. The issue becomes obtaining documentation required by HUD.
Proving that an individual meets either criteria for chronic homelessness of twelve (12) continuous
months of homelessness or four (4) episodes of homelessness within three (3) years can be challenging.
The Center for Veteran's Issues operates the HUD4A#proj*ect in Winnebago County. The Center does
not fall under direct control of a single governmental entity. It works as an independent provider and
servicer dedicated to ending Vet homelessness in he state of Wisconsin.
The Oshkosh/Winnebago ou Authority administers the HUD-VASH program and prioritizes
veterans on their waiting list.
Helping low-income individuals families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals a es and those who are: 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); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs
The Winnebagoland CoC, under the Wisconsin Balance of State CoC, does have coordination with health
care providers throughout the geographic area.
Recommendations include developing a Plan to End Homelessness with measurable goals, which outline
key initiatives for preventing homelessness, including strengthening discharge planning. CoCs are
required by the CoC Program interim rule to establish a Centralized or Coordinated Assessment system,
also referred to as Coordinated Entry. Based on the recent Coordinated Entry Policy Brief, HUD's primary
goal for coordinated entry processes is to allocate assistance as effectively as possible. It also needs to
Consolidated Plan CITY OF OSHKOSH 124
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
be easily accessible regardless of where or how people present for assistance. Most communities lack
the resources needed to meet all the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
Lack of resources, combined with the lack of a well -developed coordinated entry process, results in
severe hardships for persons experiencing homelessness who often face long wait times to receive
assistance or are screened out of needed assistance. Coordinated entry processes help communities
prioritize assistance based on vulnerability and severity of service needs to ensure that people who need
assistance the most can receive it in a timely manner. Coordinated entry processes also provide
information about service needs and identify gaps to help communities plan their assistance and
resources.
Discussion
Continuation of the Coordinated Entry System: Any family or individu experiencing a housing crisis in
the City of Oshkosh can either call a toll -free hotline or visit a des' ed coordinated entry provider.
Veterans, people fleeing domestic violence, and transitional age naway youth will be immediately

AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Oshkosh is preparing an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The Al
identified local jurisdictional and regional collaborative actions the participants will undertake over the
next five years to address fair housing choice and housing affordability.
The City of Oshkosh Community Development staff routinely responds to questions from City residents
pertaining to the Fair Housing Act and its provisions. City staff are familiar with local Ordinances and
Federal laws concerning fair housing that are designed to protect all residents of the community from
discrimination.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax:policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Legal Action of Wisconsin (LAW) provides legal aid related to affordable housing, serving low-income
residents living in the City. LAW staff provides assistance to residents who face eviction, are denied
housing, or are forced to live in uninhabitable conditions. Information on foreclosures, consumer issues,
and fair housing is also provided to the residents. LAW policies and activities promote the awareness of
fair housing requirements. They provide consultation to developers and municipalities to ensure that
rental and for -sale units are marketed in accordance with the affirmative marketing rules of the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. LAW ensures that all housing programs and services
provided by the City, its municipalities, and LAW itself, are administered in a way that promotes fair
housing on the basis of race, national origin, religion, gender, disability, and familial status.
Fair Housing Center of Northeastern Wisconsin (FHCNW) is a sub -recipient of FY 2020 CDBG funds to
provide housing counseling for people with disabilities who are living on limited income and may be at -
risk of homelessness. The City contrals with FHCNW for fair housing services. The FHCNW Outreach &
Education Program provides fair housing training for interested parties, fair housing technical assistance
for government agencies, development and distribution of fair housing educational materials, and
presentations to the general public. The mission of FHCNW is to promote fair housing throughout the
State of Wisconsin by combating illegal housing discrimination and by creating and maintaining racially
and economically integrated housing patterns.
Discussion:
City of Oshkosh will continue to monitor and review public policies for discriminatory practices, and/or
impacts on housing availability during this program year. In addition to the proclamation, the City has
completed the following activities to promote fair housing:
The City continues to contract with Milwaukee Fair Housing Council and has revised the Fair Housing
Ordinance to reflect the current structure for investigation and disposition of complaints through a
third -party contract (Fair Housing Council) as needed.
