Discussion Not applicable Annual Action Plan 29 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities —91.220(i) Introduction Coordination and delivery of homeless services is provided through a Homeless Service Providers Network as part of the Continuum of Care. ADVOCAP serves as the lead agency within the Network, which also includes Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services (CADASI),American Red Cross of East Central Wisconsin, Legal Action of Wisconsin, and The Salvation Army—Oshkosh Corps. ADVOCAP also serves as lead agency and fiscal agent for consolidated applications for HUD ESG/THP and HPP funds. Additionally, ADVOCAP serves as lead agency for participation in the Balance of State Continuum of Care organization. Both the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition and the Homeless Service Providers Network discuss homeless prevention activities and strategies. The City will continue to participate in these meetings and assist with funding where possible. The City continues to collaborate with the local warming shelter on how the City can assist in the Shelter's efforts to construct a more permanent shelter facility that will offer on-site services and resources and additional beds. 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 Homeless service providers maintain contact with other agencies that may not be active members of the housing coalition to facilitate homeless participants accessing services in a timely manner or to assure appropriate referral of persons by other agencies to the homeless service providers. Also, ADVOCAP provides staff support to conduct point in time surveys of homeless needs, prepare annual needs assessmentand prioritization of unmet needs, and write grants for joint homeless activities. Joint training activities are also planned to benefit participating agencies. The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and obtain input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where possible. Annual Action Plan 30 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Oshkosh will continue to support the Day by Day Warming shelter that serves a small but definite population of persons with limited shelter options in the community.The Day by Day Warming Shelter adds an important level to the continuum of care in this area by providing a safe setting to a vulnerable homeless population. Despite nearly 200 success stories of guests working toward self- sufficiency at the shelter,the need for temporary overnight shelter is growing in Oshkosh. The City will continue to support this public service activity in 2019. Homelessness and the factors affecting it are increasing and the temporary local warming shelter has to regularly turn people in need away.The City will s working with Day,by Day Warming Shelter in its pursuit of a more permanent shelter facility that will offer on-site services and resources and additional beds. Day by Day is currently completing a feasibility study and hopes to'begin the fundraising campaign before fall with construction by early spring. Also, the Redevelopment Authority(RDA) of the City'of Oshkosh is working with'Advocap on leasing a RDA owned single family house for short term transitional hou,sing., 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 Goals of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition include: • Promote public and private funds to expand affordable housing opportunities and supportive services • Educate agencies on legislative issues that impact affordable housing • Educate public officials about housing issues • Identify issues regarding emergency housing and homelessness in the community • Adopt in-service agendas and endorse solutions to emergency housing issues and homelessness Annual Action Plan 31 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) As a prevention strategy, an area of emphasis is providing more employment-related services to help persons move from shelter into permanent housing. The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and obtain input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where possible Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health tare facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and correctionsprograms and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and obtain input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where possible. While City staff will not lead the effort to create a discharge policy,,,staff will participate in any efforts to create such a policy. Discussion The City of Oshkosh does not receive any private or public funds to address homeless needs or to prevent homelessness;There are a number of public and private organizations providing these homeless services in the community and the City supports these agencies through funding to the Public Service Consortium. The Continuim of Care (CoQ in Oshkosh has a direct influence in addressing the needs of the homeless. The following priorities were established by the CoC and continue to be followed: 1) Service gap in short term assistance 2) Case management with supportive services 3) Accessible emergency shelter along with motel vouchers 4) Medical and health related services Annual Action Plan 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) 5) Transportation help 6) Transitional housing 7) Housing and supportive services for chronic homeless 8) Essential personal needs such as food, clothing and personal care items 9) Subsidized permanent housing 10) Foreclosure help 11) Daycare support 12) Fair housing assistance Annual Action Plan 33 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j) Introduction: 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 The City's 2005-2025 Comprehensive Plan calls for the following actions to maintain and rehabilitate the City's existing housing stock: • Continue housing rehabilitation programming Which provides assistance to low and moderate income persons in upgrading their housing and in purchasing and improving properties in older neighborhoods. • Encourage downtown/central city residential development through rehabilitation or new construction • Implement "Neighborhood Improvement Strategies"for neighborhood and housing issues. • Develop program and encourage owners to convert non-competitive rental property back to owner occupied structures. • Create a rehabilitation code for pre-existing conditions on historic properties. • Work with public and private housing providers to plan for the development of additional housing units affordable to low and moderate income owner and renters as needed and to secure additional subsidies for rental of existing privately owned units. In January'2017 the City of Oshkosh implemented a Residential Rental Inspections Program to protect the health and safety of rental residents in the community. The Oshkosh Common Council created the program in response to findings that a significant percentage of housing code complaints and violations were occurring Within rental properties leading to an adverse affect on residents and neighborhoods, contributing to decreased property values and neighborhood blight. The intent of the program is to encourage Oshkosh rental property owners to exercise their responsibility to meet code requirements to provide safe and sanitary,living'conditions for tenants. Program guidelines were also drafted in keeping with current Federal and Wisconsin State laws. The City will continue to fund programs and activities that address affordable housing for all citizens to the extent possible. However, due to funding limitations both through Federal programs and at the local level,the City will have to use its funding strategically. Annual Action Plan 34 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) During the coming program year,the City will be undertaking an Analysis of Impediments (AI)to Fair Housing study. A consultant will be hired following the procurement requirements of 2 CFR 200 to prepare the Al for submittal to HUD. The Analysis of Impediments will perform an assessment of fair housing, defines and undertakes the community/stakeholder participation process, and the identification of contributing factors and the establishment of priorities and goals that lead to meaningful actions that affirmatively further fair housing.The Al will also state how the City of Oshkosh, will act on its responsibility to address fair housing contributing factors and appropriate actions to overcome the effects of those factors and other actions in this regard. The City's current Analysis of Impediments (AI) summarized actions to be taken to address barriers to affordable housing. The City's Analysis of Impediments is attached as Exhibit D. The City of Oshkosh has, and will continue to use, various strategies to address or ameliorate any negative effects of public policy that are barriers to affordable housing. The City of Oshkosh revised its Fair Housing Ordinance to include transgender individuals as a protected class, as well as reflect the current structure for investigation and disposition of complaints through a third party contractor(Fair Housing Council of Northeast Wisconsin). The City of Oshkosh approved a Residential Rental Registration and Inspection Ordinance (rental registry). The City-wide program is for the registration and inspection of residential rental dwelling units to ensure units provide safe,decent and sanitary living conditions for tenants and to prevent further deterioration of those units. The Oshkosh public transportation system, provides bus service to LMI households in Census Tracts 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14 and 15. The City adopted a new Zoning Ordinance which incorporates building design standards to maintain and enhance the attractiveness and values of property in the community. Continue to contract with Fair Housing Council of Northeast Wisconsin to provide training for landlords and tenants and other interested parties on fair housing regulations, as well as investigate potential fair housing complaints. As City streets are resurfaced,they are designed to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and transit riders,that helps create a livable community for all citizens. Also, there are a number of State and local regulations designed to promote the orderly development and maintenance of safe, decent and sanitary housing in the community.To eliminate duplication,the City uses the building codes established by the State for uniform construction standards. Consequently, the City's building codes do not appear to hinder the development or preservation of affordable housing. Annual Action Plan 35 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) Likewise,the locally established Minimum Housing Code does not create a barrier for affordable housing. These standards parallel the National Minimum Housing Code Standards and are minimum requirements established to preserve and promote the public health, safety, comfort, personality and general welfare of the people.Their enforcement is necessary to preserve and encourage the private/public interests in housing and its maintenance. The City's zoning and land-use codes promote the morals, aesthetics, prosperity, health, safety and general welfare of all people in Oshkosh. These codes are constructed to allow compatible development throughout the community and are flexible enough to encourage redevelopment in the community's existing, established areas. All residential properties are assessed on a citywide basis using market sales data of comparable properties in and around the immediate neighborhood. Citywide assessing ensures an equitable treatment of residential property and provides an incentive to those who maintain and improve their properties. The current public policies relating to housing and, in particular,affordable housing, do not appear to be excessive, exclusionary, or discriminatory nor do they duplicate any other policies. The City will work with developers, homeowners and public agencies that encounter barriers to affordable housing to address the issues. Discussion: The City of Oshkosh will contract with the Fair Housing Council of Northeast Wisconsin (FHCNW) during the 2019 PY to provide comprehensive fair housing enforcement, outreach, education and technical assistance services to Oshkosh residents. Discrimination continues today in both subtle and overt ways, and many housing consumers and providers have poor understanding of the rights and responsibilities provided by fair,housing laws. Fair housing issues affect all participants in the housing market. Under the City's contract;FHCNW will provide training to landlords and/or tenants in Oshkosh, as well as social service agencies or other organizations that serve Oshkosh. Most other activities to address impediments to fair housing identified in the City's Al, will be undertaken by City staff. Annual Action Plan 36 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) AP-85 Other Actions— 91.220(k) Introduction: A primary obstacle to meeting the underserved needs in the City of Oshkosh is the lack of available funding to the City and to the various non-profit agencies the City partners with in serving LMI residents. As entitlement grants shrink,the cost of delivery services and competing projects increase and the economy continues to be challenging--the need is greater. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Due to funding limitations both through HUD programs and at the local level,the City will have to use its funding strategically. For redevelopment or neighborhood projects, fund's will be concentrated first in approved neighborhoods, LMI/LMA census tracks/block groups, spot blighted and redevelopment areas. The State of Wisconsin also continues to have issues with budget deficits, which has a direct effect on the amount of shared revenue coming into the local level for projects and programs. The reduction of shared revenues is expected to continue or increase; This loss of funding will directly affect the amount of funds that can be budgeted for housing locally. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to fund the housing rehabilitaition program to rehabilitate and improve existing units for both homeowners and renters and provide downpayment assistance to eligible homebuyers. In order to achieve any type of sustainable revitalization success,funds must be programmed and resources targeted to effect change in transitional and distressed neighborhoods. Wisconsin Statutes permit the use ofthe final year of tax increment in a terminating Tax Increment District to be used to fund improvements to the housing stock(primarily benefitting affordable housing). The City created the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative Program in 2012 to concentrate its local resources into program neighborhoods to achieve revitalization. The goal is to attract homeowners and private investment back into participating neighborhoods. Using a combination of funding sources, such as local capital improvement general obligation bonds for public realm improvements, CDBG and Healthy Neighborhood Initiative Program funds, will strengthen neighborhoods throughout the community for the benefit of all residents and income levels. Annual Action Plan 37 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards Any program that undertakes rehabilitation work will meet the requirements of the lead safe housing rules. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families In the past, CDBG funds have been allocated to local homeless shelters,'a domestic abuse shelter,food pantry and other public service agencies that directly serve families and individuals that are facing financial hardship. The City will continue to fund public service agencies under the CDBG program guidelines. Actions planned to develop institutional structure. . - City staff will continue to participate and serve on community organization boards to maintain open communication with other governmental entitiesand service providers throughout the community. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies City staff will continue to participate in Winnebagoland Housing Coalition meetings which is a valuable forum used to communicate ongoing or developing issues within the community, especially in terms of housing, homelessness and the needs of special populations. City staff will use these discussions to evaluate needs in terms of how CDBG funds may be able to fund activities to assist with these issues.
