24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The New Rochelle, NY Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) is mandated by federal law and regulations enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order for the City to receive federal funding for affordable housing and community development initiatives benefitting primarily low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons. This Con Plan consolidates into a single document the planning and application requirements for the following federal programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) The purpose of the New Rochelle Con Plan is to: Assess the City’s affordable housing and community development needs; Analyze the City’s housing markets; Articulate the City’s priorities, goals, and strategies to address identified needs; and Describe the actions the City will take to implement strategies for affordable housing and community development. The City’s Con Plan for FY 2018 – 2022 provides data on trends and conditions related to New Rochelle’s current and future affordable housing and community development needs. The analysis of this data has been used to establish priorities, strategies, and actions that the City will undertake to address these needs over the next five years. Annually, the City will develop its Action Plan in which it will describe the planned investment of federal resources to implement specific activities. New Rochelle anticipates receiving the following grant amounts in fiscal year 2018. Projections for the remaining four years of the five-year period follow in parentheses; however, these projected amounts are expected to change based on federal allocations made annually. CDBG: $1,441,129 (about $5,764,516) HOME: $417,212 (about $1,668,848) Consolidated Plan NEW ROCHELLE, NY 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview Housing needs among residents of New Rochelle were determined by analyzing housing problems by income level, tenure, and households with special needs. For the Con Plan, sources included the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) dataset, which is based on the 2009-2013 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates. This source analyzes households with one or more housing problems (overcrowding, lacking adequate kitchen or plumbing facilities), and households experiencing cost burden (paying more than 30% of household income for housing costs) and severe cost burden (paying more than 50% of household income for housing costs). The most significant housing issue identified was cost burden, defined as spending over 30% of household income on housing costs, such as mortgage and rent payments. According to CHAS data, 48% of City households are cost burdened. Similarly, severe
