i Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Needs Assessment Planning Team, which included members of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council organized into a Housing Advisory Committee, undertook the preparation this Needs Assessment in anticipation of being awarded $122,034,387 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery Housing funding by the Texas General Land Office. This Needs Assessment will be used to complete the Round 2.2 General Housing Activities Application and will facilitate the outreach, intake, and application phase of the Lower Rio Grande Valley’s disaster recovery housing program.
The Needs Assessment Planning Team utilized quantitative data provided by the United States Census Bureau and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development together with data provided by local government officials and non-profit housing organizations and qualitative data collected during public hearings and site visits to prepare this document. Utilizing the data provided, Geographic Information System (GIS) maps were created to identify areas of need which will be targeted during the outreach phase of the housing program. It should be noted that these targeted outreach areas were developed to provide a starting point for the outreach effort. The Planning Team recognizes that they are not an exclusive list of areas that are in need of assistance with Hurricane Dolly housing recovery.
Using the aforementioned data sources, together with information obtained over the course of four committee meetings and three public hearings, the Needs Assessment Planning Team analyzed the post- Hurricane Dolly housing needs in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy Counties and made the following findings:
The estimated Very Low Income population of the three county area is 192,423 persons which constitutes 36% of the low to moderate income population. It is estimated that this population experienced approximately $83,340,432 in Hurricane Dolly losses to housing. The Planning team finds that $37,772,923 of the housing funds should be set aside for this population.
The estimated Low Income population of the three county area is 157,882 persons which constitutes 30% of the low to moderate income population. It is estimated that this population experienced approximately $69,450,360 in Hurricane Dolly losses to housing. The Planning team finds that $31,477,736 of the housing funds should be set aside for this population.
The estimated Moderate population of the three county area is 180,890 persons which constitutes 34% of the low to moderate income population. It is estimated that this population experienced approximately $78,710,408 in Hurricane Dolly losses to housing. The Planning team finds that $35,674,768 of the housing funds should be set aside for this population.

Total Rental Program $15,108,600
Total Rapid Recovery Housing Program $2,000,000 Total Housing Allocation $122,034,387
iii Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment 1. PURPOSE This Needs Assessment was developed to provide the framework and justification for the design of the Hurricane Dolly CDBG Disaster Recovery program in the Lower Rio Grande Valley as required by the Round 2.2 Guidelines and Conciliation Agreement. The Needs Assessment will assist the Lower Rio Grande Development Council in overcoming impediments to fair housing by ensuring that recovery efforts are focused upon those persons and locations with the greatest need.
2. SCOPE This Needs Assessment is intended to provide guidance to the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council in the creation and implementation of its CDBG funded disaster recovery program for Cameron, Hidalgo and Willacy Counties. The Needs Assessment provided the data needed to determine the following:
1. The funding set asides allocated to very low, low and moderate income populations; 2. The types of programs and activities that will be offered; 3. The funding allocations for each program and activity; and, 4. The areas which will be targeted for outreach.
3. BACKGROUND AND DEMOGRAPHICS Hurricane Dolly came ashore in the Lower Rio Grande Valley on the morning of July 23, 2008. Although Dolly was downgraded to a Category 1 storm before landfall, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminsitration records indicate that damaging winds of up to 100 miles per hour were experienced in coastal areas and significantly damaging winds of 50-60 miles per hour were recorded far inland. (See NOAA Windspeed Map, Figure 1.a).
Figure 1.a: NOAA Hurricane Dolly Windspeed Estimates
1 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
Perhaps more significant than the wind was the extensive rainfall which Dolly left in her wake. The geography Lower Rio Grande Valley is marked by numerous streams, riverine tributaries, irrigation canals, dry lake beds and other low areas that experience significant flooding following even small storm events. Due to the lack of elevation differential, rainfall has a tendency to pool in these areas for weeks without draining. (See NWS Rainfall Map, Figure 1.b).
Figure 1.b: NWS Hurricane Dolly Rainfall Map
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is a prime agricultural area thanks in large part to the frequent flooding which brings vital nutrients to the farms and fields of the area. Unfortunately, the agricultural economy also created an early pattern of settlement in many low lying areas. This was exacerbated by the landowners who sold agriculturally poor and flood prone land to low income individuals and migrant laborers starting in the 1950s. These areas, known as “colonias”, largely lacked basic physical infrastructure such as water and sewer services.
Colonias are also marked by a lack of decent, safe and sanitary housing. Another characteristic of housing in colonias is that it is often constructed by residents over time rather than by professional builders. Residents frequently started with tents or other temporary structures and then began to improve their homes by adding wood, cardboard and other salvaged materials.1
Because of the potentially serious consequences for public health and its effect on quality of life, one of the greatest concerns regarding the colonias is the lack of wastewater infrastructure and potable water.
Many colonias do not have sewer systems. Instead, residents must rely on alternative, often inadequate wastewater disposal methods. Septic tank systems, which in some circumstances may provide adequate wastewater disposal, often pose problems because they are too small or improperly installed and can overflow. The problem is exacerbated by the poor quality of colonia roads, which are often unpaved and covered with caliche or other materials that prevent thorough drainage. During heavy rains, water

Population Demographics The Hurricane Dolly CDBG funding which is being provided to the Lower Rio Grande Development Council must be used in Cameron, Hidalgo and Willacy counties. The following charts show the demographics present in this area.
The Valley is unique among communities in Texas and the United States as a whole. The communities in this area are bounded by coastal zones, an international border and rich agricultural areas. As seen in Figure 2, below, there are several areas of high population density which are surrounded by low density rural areas with fewer than 20 people per square mile.

Figure 2: 2010 Census Population Density Map
The three counties which are the subject of this Needs Assessment have a small number of racial minorities, but a high concentration of Hispanic persons who share a common cultural and linguistic background which can be traced to their countries of origin3, including original inhabitants of the area which predate Texas’ statehood. See figures 3 and 4, below.

Another unique aspect of this area is that the Valley has a relatively young population by percentage, with elderly persons over the age of 65 making up only 9.3% of the area’s most populous county. Even

4 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment though the overall percentage of elderly is relatively small as compared to the national average of 13%4, the estimate of the number of elderly persons who are living in poverty in the three county area is over 29,000. See Figure 5, below. Included also is the total number of disabled persons living in the three county area. See Figure 6, below.

Income Characteristics The Lower Rio Grande Valley continues to struggle with a significant population of low to moderate income persons despite having a vibrant local economy. For the three counties, an average of 56% of the population will earn less than $35,000 per year in income and benefits which represents approximately 646,883 persons out of a total population of over 1.2 million in the three county area which is the subject of this needs assessment.
There are also a significant number of persons living in poverty living in the Valley, with a combined average of 35% with income below the poverty level for the 12 months leading up to the 2010 Census. This represents an estimated total of 141,365 persons in Cameron County, 266,521 persons in Hidalgo County and 7,946 persons in Willacy County with a total of 415,831 persons living in poverty in the three county area. See Figure 7, below.

Using the FY 2011 HUD Low to Moderate Income Summary Data for the three counties, the following breakout of the low to moderate income population was obtained. This data provided the basis for the relative percentage of damage calculations and the relative assignment of funds to income categories. See Figure 8, below.

Housing Characteristics According to the 2010 Census, the Lower Rio Grande Valley has a relatively high percentage of the population residing in owner-occupied units as opposed to rental units with Cameron having the lowest percentage of owner occupied housing at 67.2% and Willacy County having the highest percentage of owner occupied housing at 76.3%. See Figure 9, below.

Each of the counties which are the subject of this Needs Assessment were experiencing a relatively high vacancy rate with Willacy County experiencing the highest vacancy rate, 18.1%, and Hidalgo County experiencing the lowest vacancy rate at 12.8%. See Figure 10, below. Although there is no definitive data to show the reasons for these vacancy rates, it is presumed that the slowdown in the housing market is a major contributing factor. Unfortunately, these vacant units may not be accessible to the population which will be eligible for this program as past experience demonstrates that many newly constructed, vacant units may be priced out of the range which is affordable to low to moderate income persons.

The following table, Figure 11, further examines the vacancy rates. Of particular interest are the low homeowner vacancy rates which demonstrate that the vast majority of vacant units are rental properties as opposed to owner-occupied single family homes. Additionally, the data shows that both Cameron and Willacy Counties have relatively high rental vacancy rates with Willacy County having what can be characterized as an excessive rental vacancy rate of 20.2%. The relatively low rental vacancy rate for Hidalgo County may demonstrate a need for rental housing in that market.

4. OVERVIEW OF THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT This Needs Assessment was developed to provide the framework and justification for the design of the Hurricane Dolly Round 2.2 CDBG Disaster Recovery program for Hidalgo, Cameron, and Willacy counties in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The Hurricane Ike/Dolly Round II Program Guidelines require that each subrecipient conduct a Needs Assessment to determine the types of programs and activities it will offer and the dollar allocations for each program and activity. Additionally, the Needs Assessment must identify the demographics which will receive concentrated attention, the funding allocated to very low, low and moderate income populations and the areas to be targeted for outreach. The end goal of the Needs Assessment is to utilize the data obtained to demonstrate how the programs and activities selected for the Lower Rio Grande Valley will overcome the identified impediments to fair housing by ensuring that recovery efforts are focused upon those persons and locations with the greatest need.
In order to accomplish the above stated goals, the Needs Assessment Planning Team initiated the process by deconstructing the Needs Assessment into three basic areas of examination. Those areas are expressed by the following questions.
Who: What demographics will receive concentrated attention? Where: What are the areas to be targeted for outreach? What: What programs and activities will be offered?
In order to answer these questions, the following tasks were identified:
8 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
Who: Identify the income and protected class characteristics of the population which suffered damage. Where: Identify areas of poverty, concentrated protected class, and a high probability of Hurricane Dolly damage. What: Identify the types of housing solutions which should be offered and their funding amounts.
Defining the “Who” The Round 2.2 Program Guidelines mandate that the very Eligible Income Categories low, low, and moderate income populations be served in no less than their relative percentages on a regional basis. Very Low Income: 0% - 30% AMFI These relative percentages, together with the disaster Low Income: 31% - 50% AMFI victim data collected after Hurricane Dolly, were used as the Moderate Income: 51% - 80% AMFI basis to calculate the proportions of funding that must be set aside to benefit each LMI economic group.
In addition to considering the income characteristics of the population, the Planning Team also considered other demographic data relating to the presence of protected classes within the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Because the population of the three counties which are the subject of the Needs Assessment are largely Hispanic or Latino (87.2% to 90.6%) with small minority populations, it was determined that the primary protected class concern was likely to be that of National Origin.
Defining the “Where” The second question which was examined involved the location of areas which would be targeted for concentrated attention during the outreach and intake phases. The Planning Team compiled both quantitative and qualitative data to develop GIS (Geographic Information Systems) maps as a tool to identify areas where concentrations of poverty, protected classes, and Hurricane Dolly damage were present and overlapping.
Hurricane Damage
Targeted Outreach Area
Concentrated Protected Poverty Class
9 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
For the Needs Assessment, a concentration of poverty was defined as a census block where greater than 35% of the households are at or below the poverty threshold. Hurricane Dolly damage was defined as any address which filed either a FEMA claim or requested hurricane repair assistance from a municipality, non-profit or other entity. Additionally, the Planning Team conducted 3 public hearings to obtain public comment on damaged areas and also dispatched field teams which operated in conjunction with local government officials and non-profit organizations to identify impacted areas in which the population may not have filed claims with FEMA or other organizations.
Since the entire area being examined has a concentrated protected class, namely persons with Hispanic or Latino origins as defined by the 2010 Census6, the Planning Team did not utilize census data in determining concentrations of protected classes. Instead, it was determined that areas of overlapping damage and poverty which also overlap with colonias would have a higher likelihood of containing concentrated populations of protected classes.
Defining the “What” The final question which was examined is what types of housing programs would be offered and what percentage of the funds would be allocated to the programs and individual program activities. In order to arrive at an answer to this question, the Planning Team looked at the answers to the “who” and “where” questions and also examined relevant demographic and housing data derived from the 2010 Census.
Analyze Determine The Types of Activities The Types of Programs Target necessary for each that should be offered Area eligible program
In addition to evaluating quantitative data, the Planning Team also instructed that qualitative field research be conducted in each county to validate the presence of Hurricane Dolly damage, determine the quality of the housing stock and evaluate whether repair or replacement would be a more likely housing solution for the residents of storm damaged homes. The Planning Team also considered field research conducted by non-profits such as the Equal Voice Network and input from local government officials.
5. METHODOLOGY The Planning Team utilized a five step process to arrive at the results required by the Needs Assessment Guidelines. Each step in this process was expressed as a question which was then answered using a set methodology. The end result of answering each of these questions in sequence was a determination of the most pressing needs in the Valley and an allocation of funds to income groups, programs and activities designed to meet the defined needs while overcoming impediments to fair housing.

10 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment Question 1: What was the relative Hurricane Dolly damage to the three income groups (very low, low and moderate) in relation to the overall damaged population? This question must be answered in order to ensure that the housing needs of very low, low and moderate-income households are assisted with housing in no less than the proportion to the relative percentages of the overall populations which suffered housing damage within the communities being served. The Planning Team utilized the FY 2011 HUD Low to Moderate Income Summary Data to determine the number of persons of each category in the region. This was identified as follows:
1. Very Low Income Population = VLI 2. Low Income Population = LI 3. Moderate Income Population = MI
The Planning Team then identified the Overall Population of the region and identified this number as follows: OP
To obtain the percentage of the population that each category represents, the Planning Team performed the following calculations:
1. Very Low Income Population Percentage = VLI/OP = VLIP% 2. Low Income Population Percentage = LI/OP = LIP% 3. Moderate Income Population Percentage = MI/OP = MIP%
In order to provide a maximum Hurricane Dolly damage dollar value context to this breakout, the Planning Team then extrapolated the Overall Damage amount calculated for the three county region by FEMA and the State of Texas (shown as OD) and applied the income breakout percentages to yield a relative amount of damage estimated for each income category.
1. Very Low Income Damage Percentage = OD*VLIP% = VLID% 2. Low Income Damage Percentage = OD*LIP% = LID% 3. Moderate Income Damage Percentage = OD*MIP% = MID%
Question 2: What proportion of the funding must be set aside for each income category? In order to satisfy the Round 2.2 Guidelines which require that funding be allocated by income category in proportion to the relative percentages of the overall populations which suffered housing damage within the communities being served, the Planning Team divided the available funding between the three income categories (very low, low and moderate) utilizing the following calculation:
Funding Allocation Amount * each damage percentage = set asides
11 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment Question 3: What are the areas which will be pinpointed for targeted outreach? Targeted outreach areas were defined by the Planning Team as being locations with high concentrations of poverty, protected classes and Hurricane Dolly Damage. In order to pinpoint these areas, the Planning Team utilized GIS maps to identify geographic locations with these overlapping characteristics.
The Planning Team first identified census blocks where greater than 35% of the population was identified as being at or below the poverty threshold. The Planning Team then conducted an outreach effort with non-profits and local government officials to obtain lists of addresses of persons who requested Hurricane Dolly repair assistance from a municipality, non-profit or other entity. When combined with the addresses of persons who filed claims for FEMA assistance relating to Hurricane Dolly, this resulted in the collection of 36,724 unique disaster addresses which were then plotted on the GIS maps.
While conducting the Needs Assessment, the Planning Team was informed by local non-profits that it was likely that a number of individuals did not file FEMA claims or otherwise attempt to obtain assistance from previous programs. In order to address this issue, the Planning Team invited individuals to provide comment during public hearings as to the locations of unrepaired Hurricane Dolly damage. Additionally, the Planning Team dispatched teams to the field to conduct damage surveys in an effort to identify areas which may still have Hurricane Dolly damage. These field survey teams worked with local government officials and non-profits to identify hurricane damaged neighborhoods which did not have a high volume of FEMA claims. The public testimony and the data collected during the site visits constitute the qualitative data which was used together with the quantitative address data to identify targeted outreach areas.
Initial targeted outreach areas were created by overlaying the disaster addresses areas with poverty concentrations. This yielded a total of 50 targeted outreach areas with both high concentrations of damage and poverty. After the initial targeted outreach areas were identified, maps were presented to the Planning Team and to the public at a public hearing. After receiving feedback as to possible issues involving potential duplication of addresses in the colonias and the readdressing of some areas during the last 3 years, the GIS team reevaluated the location data which resulted in the identification of additional targeted outreach areas.
During the map assessment process, the Planning Team also determined that the methodology based upon the density of claims in census blocks identified as poverty areas could not be used for Willacy County because it is largely rural and lacked population density as compared to Cameron and Hidalgo Counties. Instead, the Planning Team determined that all poverty areas in Willacy County should be identified as targeted outreach areas. The use of this methodology was confirmed both by the rain and wind mapping data which shows that Willacy received extensive exposure to Hurricane Dolly and by a driving tour of the poverty areas in Willacy County which confirmed the presence of extensive unrepaired Hurricane Dolly damage. Appendix 5 provides an overall tabulation of field observations in the three counties.
12 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
The team also performed an evaluation of the qualitative data collected during the public hearings and during the site visits. Public comments received, together with on-site verification of damage in additional areas, resulted in the identification of additional areas which would be suitable for targeted outreach. After these areas were identified, the mapping team began a process of normalizing the boundaries of the targeted outreach areas after it became evident that some colonias and areas of concentrated damage were split between census block groups. If a colonia or an area of concentrated damage was adjacent to or overlapping with an identified targeted census block, the colonia or area of concentrated damage was included in the targeted outreach area to avoid splitting the area along artificial census block boundaries.
Question 4: How much funding will be allocated to each program? The Planning Team identified three general housing programs which would be considered for funding:
1. Homeowner Assistance 2. Homebuyer Assistance 3. Rental Activities
After reviewing the demographic, quantitative and qualitative data collected during the Needs Assessment, the Planning Team discussed options for determining how much funding should be allocated to each program. The Planning Team considered the set asides dictated by the Guidelines and the Conciliation Agreement then set percentages for how much funding should be allocated to the remaining programs.
Question 5: Which activities will be used in this region for each eligible program and how much funding will be allocated to each activity? In order to answer this question, the Planning Team reviewed the available activities for each program and discussed the relative need for those activities in light of the data collected. The eligible activities which were discussed are as follows:
Acquisition Rehabilitation Reconstruction New construction Demolition Only Elevation Only Down Payment Assistance Principal Reduction All Reasonable Closing Costs
The Planning Team then reviewed the amount of funding which was allocated to each program and determined which activities would be offered under each program. The Planning Team then projected the amounts which should be allocated to each approved activity based upon a discussion of the need
13 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment for each activity. This amount was projected based upon an expected percentage of remaining need and then extrapolated to a dollar value based upon the percentage which was assigned to each activity.
6. MAPPING ANALYSIS In order to prepare the Needs Assessment, the Planning Team utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) maps for several purposes. First, the maps were used for general analysis purposes so that the team could view the nature and extent of Hurricane Dolly’s flood and wind damage, the locations of FEMA flood zones and the generalized locations of clusters of damaged homes. Second, the maps were used to identify areas of concentrations of poverty and also low to moderate income areas. Third, the maps were used to identify areas which will be the subject of focused outreach efforts once application intake begins. Fourth, the maps were prepared to assist in determining eligibility for the Round 2 Homeowner Opportunity Program (HOP).
Background The GIS map used by the Planning Team contains several layers, each of which serves a unique purpose.
Base Maps: The base maps utilized during this process contained data showing incorporated areas, Texas Department of Transportation roadways, streams, canals, ditches, county lines and census block group boundaries. Colonias: The locations of colonias were mapped using data compiled by the United States Geological Survey. The sources utilized were colonias identified by the Texas Secretary of State, the Attorney General of Texas and the Texas Water Development Board. Income Data: Fiscal Year 2011 Low to Moderate Income Summary Data sets compiled by HUD at the block group level. The maps show areas where greater than 50% of the population fall within the low to moderate income bracket and also show areas with high concentrations of very low, low and moderate income populations. Poverty Areas: Areas where greater than 35% of the population are at or below the poverty threshold based upon raw poverty concentration data provided by the Texas General Land Office. FEMA 100 Year Flood Zones: 100 year flood zones were mapped using the latest data provided by FEMA. Hurricane Dolly Storm Maps: The NOAA wind contours, precipitation, wind speeds and storm track for Hurricane Dolly were mapped to provide reference data. Storm Damaged Addresses: The Planning Team worked with local officials and non-profits to obtain waiting lists, call logs, client lists and other lists of homes that were damaged by Hurricane Dolly. FEMA Unpaid Claims: The State of Texas provided a list of addresses of persons who filed claims with FEMA relating to Hurricane Dolly. These claims were not paid. FEMA Paid Claims: The State of Texas provided a list of addresses of persons who filed claims with FEMA relating to Hurricane Dolly. These claims were paid.
14 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment Targeted Outreach Areas The Planning Team used objective criteria to identify areas which will be the subject of targeted outreach during the intake period. Maps of the targeted outreach areas are attached hereto as Appendix 6.
Step 1: Areas where greater than 35% of population is at or below the poverty threshold were identified. Step 2: The storm damaged addresses were plotted within the identified poverty areas. Each area which had both a concentration of poverty and storm damaged addresses were considered to be a potential targeted outreach area. Step 3: Potential targeted outreach areas were prepared based upon the density of storm damaged addresses relative to the geographic size of the area. The fifty (50) potential targeted outreach areas with the highest density of storm damaged properties within areas of concentrated poverty were identified as draft Needs Assessment Targeted Outreach Areas. Step 4: The fifty (50) Needs Assessment Targeted Outreach Areas were presented to the Planning Team and to the public for comment during a public meeting. Based upon feedback which was received, corrections were made to the address data which resulted in the identification of additional areas for examination. Additionally, all identified areas of concentrated poverty within Willacy County were added to the GIS maps. Step 5: Colonia areas identified during site visits and during the public comment were analyzed for the presence of Hurricane Dolly damage and added to the GIS maps based upon visual inspection of the areas and confirmation of the presence of Hurricane Dolly damage. Step 7: Targeted outreach areas which were adjacent to one another were combined into single targeted outreach areas to limit the total number of maps. Step 8: The areas identified during the revision process were normalized by examining the boundaries of the targeted outreach areas after it became evident that some colonias and areas of concentrated damage were split between census block groups. If a colonia or an area of concentrated damage was adjacent to or overlapping with an identified census block, the colonia or area of concentrated damage was included in the targeted outreach area to avoid splitting the area along artificial census block boundaries. Step 9: The revised, combined and normalized Needs Assessment Targeted Outreach Areas were submitted to the Planning Team for approval and a final public hearing was conducted.
15 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment 7. NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINDINGS Determine the Relative Damage to Household Income by first determining the population of each income category and the overall population 1. Very Low: 0% to 30% AMFI 2. Low: 31% to 50% AMFI 3. Moderate Income: 51% to 80% AMFI
To obtain the percentage of the population that each category represents we will make calculations for each income category:
a. Very Low Income Known Data: Very Low Income Population (VLI) = 192,423 Overall Population (OP) = 531,195 Overall Damage (OD) = $231,501,200 Funding Allocation Amount (Housing Funds less set asides) = $104,925,787
Very Low Income Population Percentage (VLIPP) = VLI/OP = VLIP%
Very Low Income Damage Percentage (VLIDP) = OD*VLIPP = VLID%
b. Low Income Known Data: Low Income Population (LI) = 157,882 Overall Population (OP) = 531,195 Overall Damage (OD) = $231,501,200 Funding Allocation Amount (Housing Funds less set asides) = $104,925,787
Low Income Population Percentage (LIPP) = LI/OP = LIP%
Low Income Damage Percentage (LIDP) = OD*LIPP = LID%
16 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
c. Moderate Income Known Data: Moderate Income Population (MI) = 180,890 Overall Population (OP) = 531,195 Overall Damage (OD) = $231,501,200 Funding Allocation Amount (Housing Funds less set asides) = $104,925,787
Moderate Income Population Percentage (MIPP) = MI/OP = MIP%
Moderate Income Damage Percentage (MIDP) = OD*MIPP = MID%
Identify the Proportions of funding that must be set aside for each income category 1. Very Low 2. Low 3. Moderate
To obtain the proportions of funding that must be set aside we will make calculations for each income category:
a. Very Low Income Funding Allocation Amount * each damage percentage = set asides
b. Low Income Funding Allocation Amount * each damage percentage = set asides
c. Moderate Income Funding Allocation Amount * each damage percentage = set asides
Funding to be allocated to each Program 1. Homeowner Assistance 2. Homebuyer Assistance 3. Rental Activities
At Planning Team meeting 3, the team discussed the potential funding allocations for each program. Based on site field visits and local knowledge the team decided that all the data pointed to the most funds needed for the Homeowner Assistance Program. With high vacancy rates established in the
17 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment demographic tables, the team also decided that the set aside for rental funding was sufficient. The planning team has chosen to allocate the following percentages to each program.
1. Homeowner Assistance 95%(104,925,787) $99,679,498 2. Homebuyer Assistance 5% (104,925,787) $ 5,246,289 3. Rental Activities $15,108,600 4. Rapid Recovery Housing Program $ 2,000,000 Total Housing Allocation $122,034,387
Choose the activities that will be used in this region for each eligible program based on Needs Assessment and the amount of funding to allocate to each activity At Planning Team meeting 3, the team also discussed the eligible activities that should be offered for each program and a relative percentage to assign to each category to determine the funding. The following are the results of that discussion:
Homeowner Assistance Program $99,679,498 Acquisition (Generally paired with New Construction) 5% $ 4,983,975 Rehabilitation 10% $ 9,967,950 Reconstruction 75% $74,759,624 New construction 5% $ 4,983,975 Demolition Only 0% $ 0 Elevation Only 5% $ 4,983,974 Total Homeowner Assistance Program 100% $99,679,498
Homebuyer Assistance Program $5,246,289 Down Payment Assistance 50% $2,623,145 Principal Reduction 0% $ 0 All Reasonable closing costs 50% $2,623,144 Total Homebuyer Assistance Program 100% $5,246,289

A | 3 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment are provided in Appendix 5 of this document. The purpose of collecting this data was to provide the team with verification of the damage that has been reported. Also, the Planning Team used this data in considering the need for different programs and eligible activities.
The fourth source of qualitative data was provided to the Planning Team by the Equal Voice Network in the form of a supplemental needs assessment of model colonias. This report focused on eight (8) model colonias:
1. Rancho Sanchez 2. Hidalgo Park II 3. Country View Subdivision 4. El Charro #2 5. San Carlos 6. Lucero del Norte 7. Rancho Grande South 8. Green Valley Farms
This report was based on a series of infrastructure surveys, housing surveys, community meetings, windshield assessment surveys, appraisal and flood zone data, and census data. For each focus colonia, the report provides information on current flooding issues, damage suffered from Hurricane Dolly, willingness of residents to move to an area less impacted by flooding, and structural elements still in need of repair after the storm.
The Planning Team used this report as an additional source of qualitative data to verify damage that has been reported and focused on the colonias. This report was also used as an additional discussion item for determining the amount of funding to be allocated to each program and the associated eligible activities. The Planning Team also used this report as an additional source of identifying areas for targeted outreach in the Round II Hurricane Dolly Program.
A | 4 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
Overview The Planning Team attended a series of four planning meetings.
Meeting One: October 26, 2011 The agenda for this meeting included the following topics: Program Update, MOD/Program Overview and Discussion, Purpose of Needs Assessment, Mission Statement Development, Discussion of Planning Objectives, Identifying Sources of Data, Review of Base Maps and Path Forward. The Program Update focused on the submittal of the FHAST Form and its approval. The MOD/Program Overview and Discussion centered around the funding allocations and eligible activities. During the Purpose of the Needs Assessment discussion it was explained that the Needs Assessment provides the framework and justification for the program design for Hidalgo, Cameron, and Willacy Counties in the Valley. Further, it was identified that the program design consists of the “who” (demographics to receive concentrated attention), “where” (the targeted outreach areas), and “what” (determining the activities that will be offered). The following draft mission statement was developed, “To Facilitate a Regional Housing Program that assures Quality, Affordable, Sustainable housing in accordance with fair housing standards and maximizes assistance for current and future funding while utilizing local involvement.” In the discussion on the planning objectives, the Who, Where, and What, were further identified. Who? Identify the income and protected class characteristics of the population which suffered damage. Where? Identify areas of poverty, concentrated protected class, and a high probability of Hurricane Dolly damage. What? Identify the types of housing solutions which should be offered. Next, the group identified the following potential sources of data:
Dolly Round 1 Programs HUD’s Low to Moderate Income Summary Data Faith Based Communities Texas Rural Legal Aide Round 2.1 Non-Housing Applications ARISE PHA(s) County Commissioners Urban County Waiting List Emergency Management Coordinators NOAA Urban County Colonia’s spreadsheet Hidalgo County Colonia CD Red Cross
A | 5 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
The next part of the discussion focused on GIS base maps prepared by URS. There were three maps showing all parts of each county. Then, there were three more maps with an overlay in each county of the colonias identified by the Texas Secretary of State, the Texas Attorney General and the Texas Water Development Board. The group discussed the base map data and the preliminary income area mapping data that was presented. The group also discussed possible sources of data for the mapping project and contacts were exchanged. During the discussion on the path forward future meeting dates were identified and public hearings for the Needs Assessment were discussed.
Meeting Two: November 8, 2011 The second Planning Meeting of the team was held on November 8, 2011. The agenda for this meeting included the following topics: Program Update, Review of Draft Mission Statement, Review Purpose of Needs Assessment, Review of Planning Objectives, Review of Data Sources, Review of Working Maps and Path Forward. The Program Update focused on the approval of the FHAST Form, the submittal of the MOD and the site visits conducted thus far for the Needs Assessment. The following draft mission statement was adopted, “To Facilitate a Regional Housing Program that assures Quality, Affordable, Sustainable, and Resilient housing in accordance with fair housing standards and maximizes assistance for current and future funding while utilizing local involvement.” Next, was a review of the purpose of the Needs Assessment identified at the previous meeting. In reviewing the planning objectives, the Who, Where, and What, were again discussed. Next, the group reviewed the types of data still needed to be collected as follows:
Any waiting list for assistance from Hurricane Dolly damage Public Housing Authority Waiting Lists The submittal of data should be in a spreadsheet and should include: o How the Data was created? o Who created the Data? o What the data was used for? o The data’s relationship to Hurricane Dolly
Next the group identified the data that has currently been collected:
FEMA Data (Claims) Current Hurricane Dolly Round 1 Awards HUD LMI Summary Data Census Data NOAA Website Hidalgo County Waiting List
The group then identified data that we were still waiting on:
Cameron County Surveys Harlingen Waiting List Equal Voice Network Spreadsheet

The next part of the discussion focused on working maps prepared by URS. These maps were projected which demonstrated the changes in the maps when different overlays where applied. Revised income area data was presented together with preliminary address mapping data. The group was able to see concentrations beginning to form. During the discussion on the path forward future meeting dates were confirmed and public hearings for the Needs Assessment were discussed.
Meeting Three: November 18, 2011 The third Planning Meeting of the team was held on November 18, 2011. The agenda for this meeting included the following topics: Review of Round 2.2 Timeline, Review of Mission Statement, Review Purpose of Needs Assessment, Review of Planning Objectives, Review of the Format of the Initial Working Document, Discussion of Methodology and Outcomes, Review of Data Sources, Review of GIS Maps and Path Forward. The Review of the Round 2.2 Timeline focused on the submittal of the MOD and the two remaining tasks: Complete Needs Assessment and Application. The team then reviewed the previously adopted mission statement. Next, was a review of the purpose of the Needs Assessment identified at the previous meeting. In reviewing the planning objectives, the Who, Where, and What, were again discussed. Next, the group reviewed the outline for the Initial working document and expressed approval of the path forward. Then, the group held a discussion of the Methodology and Outcomes. The group identified five (5) questions that needed to be determined for the needs assessment.
1. What was the relative Hurricane Dolly damage to the three income groups? a. Very Low: 30% & Below b. Low: 31% to 50% c. Moderate Income: 51% to 80% 2. What proportions of the funding must be set aside for each category of persons? a. Very Low b. Low c. Moderate 3. What are the areas which will be pinpointed for targeted outreach? 4. How much funding will be allocated to each program? a. Homeowner Assistance 95% b. Homebuyer Assistance 5% c. Rental Activities Current Set Aside ($15+ Million) 5. Which activities will be used in this region for each eligible program and how much funding will be allocated to each activity? a. Homeowner Program 95% Overall i. Acquisition (Generally paired with New Construction) 5% ii. Rehabilitation 10% iii. Reconstruction 75% iv. New construction 5% v. Demolition Only 0% vi. Elevation Only 5%
A | 7 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
b. Homebuyer Program 5% Overall i. Down Payment Assistance 50% ii. Principal Reduction 0% iii. All Reasonable closing costs 50%
The group accepted the proposed methodology for questions 1-3 then agreed upon the percentages to be used for questions 4-5.
During the discussion of question 3, the group focused on working maps prepared by URS. These maps were projected from a computer allowing the group to see changes in the maps when different overlays where applied. At this stage, the maps contained large clusters of addresses which were shown coinciding with delineated poverty concentrations and colonias. The group helped to identify the data that would be used to pinpoint targeted outreach areas on the map and approved the methodology for selecting targeted outreach areas. During the discussion on the path forward future meeting dates were confirmed and public hearings for the Needs Assessment were discussed.
Meeting Four: November 29, 2011 The fourth Planning Meeting of the team was held on November 29, 2011. The agenda for this meeting included the following topics: Review of Mission Statement, Review Purpose of Needs Assessment, Review of the Scope, Review of the Draft Needs Assessment, Discussion of Methodology and Findings, Review of Data Sources, Review of GIS Maps and Path Forward.

The LRGVDC will have an application available online and at their offices for all residents of the area to apply
A | 10 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
for funding. In addition, the LRGVDC will conduct targeted outreach to those areas with high concentrations of poverty, minority, and damage.
Martha Sanchez with L.U.P.E. came to speak for those who could not attend. She wants to ensure that public hearings are transparent and conducted at times available for all members of the community. Ms. Sanchez also wanted to ensure that the funds are spent on the Colonias. LRGVDC Response: The LRGVDC understands the concerns raised and will follow the FHAST Form in its allocation of funding for non-housing and the requirement that colonia projects be given priority. Concerning the public hearing notices and times, the LRGVDC is working to offer more varied times for public hearings and currently publishes in Spanish newspapers and sends press releases to all Spanish media outlets. The second public hearing on the Needs Assessment will be in the evening while this hearing was conducted in the morning.
Mr. Daniel Diaz with L.U.P.E. came to suggest that the non-housing funding is primarily spent in the 8 focus Colonias that his organization has been working with which include the following Colonias: Hidalgo Park, Country View Estates, San Carlos, Rancho Sanchez, Charro #2, Lucero del Norte, Green Valley Farms, Rancho Grande South. LRGVDC Response: The LRGVDC understands the concerns raised and will follow the FHAST Form in its allocation of funding for non-housing and the requirement that colonia projects be given priority. The LRGVDC encourages persons or local organizations in the Valley to provide information that will assist the needs assessment in determining the areas of greatest need.
Ms. Juanita Zavala with ARISE experienced a lot of damage to her home, colonia, and school as a result of Hurricane Dolly. She would like to know if these funds could help to reconstruct her home and when they will be available. Ms. Zavala also expressed the need to resolve the drainage issue in her colonia. LRGVDC Response: Although we cannot give specific dates for the beginning of construction at this time, the LRGVDC hopes to be under contract with the State by the beginning of 2012 and to be in the planning stages of projects by February 2012. The LRGVDC will have an application available online and at their offices for all residents of the area to apply for funding. In addition, the LRGVDC will conduct targeted outreach to those areas with high concentrations of poverty, minority, and damage
Ms. Angelica Edge with L.U.P.E. and the Equal Voice Network is a resident of a colonia that suffered severe damage after Hurricane Dolly. Ms. Edge wants to know when the funding is coming. LRGVDC Response: Although we cannot give specific dates for the beginning of construction at this time, the LRGVDC hopes to be under contract with the State by the beginning of 2012 and to be in the planning stages of projects by February 2012.

Mr. Mike Lopez with the Hidalgo County Housing Authority wants to propose to assist in helping all families affected by Hurricane Dolly. The Hidalgo County Housing Authority has 800 people
A | 11 Lower Rio Grande Valley Needs Assessment
currently on its waiting list. Mr. Lopez is proposing to build 550 new units in Hidalgo County (150 Single Family Units and 400 Multi-family units) in the unincorporated areas of the county. LRGVDC Response: While waiting lists alone would not demonstrate need related to the storm damage, local knowledge of the loss of affordable housing that could be documented would be considered in the needs assessment/application process. Any damaged or destroyed units will be given priority in the affordable rental set-aside consistent with the Conciliation Agreement. To the extent that the need for additional rental housing can be documented it will be weighed against the need for repair/replacement of single family to determine the highest needs in the region and be part of the public meetings.
Andrea Gilles with bcWorkshop spoke to place on public record a list of the data that they collected: Drainage Surveys of Colonias, types of housing the colonia residents are currently living in, EDA Surveys of Colonias, Wind Shield Surveys of Colonias, Photographs from Colonia residents after the storm, appraisal data, and a series of public hearings. LRGVDC response: The LRGVDC has not yet received this data, but upon receiving we will incorporate this data in the Needs Assessment.
Ms. Jovita Gonzalez is a resident of the San Carlos Colonia. This colonia suffered extensive flooding damage after Hurricane Dolly and has no sewer system.
