CAPER 1 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

The Annual Action Plan for 2019-2020 established Layton City priorities based on identified needs from consultation with government agencies, local non-profits, service providers, local citizens and other appropriate parties. The Annual Action Plan establishes performance goals and objectives for the one-year period. The goals set forth in the Plan are consistent with initiatives in the five-year Consolidated Plan. Layton City, its staff, its subrecipients and others worked together to address the priority needs identified in the 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan. Priorities in the 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan included: removing barriers to affordable housing through down payment assistance, land write-down for affordable housing, a home repair/rehab program, a youth court program, temporary shelter assistance, respite nursery care, and domestic violence shelter funding.

Comparison of the proposed versus actual outcomes for each outcome measure submitted with the consolidated plan and explain, if applicable, why progress was not made toward meeting goals and objectives. 91.520(g) Categories, priority levels, funding sources and amounts, outcomes/objectives, goal outcome indicators, units of measure, targets, actual outcomes/outputs, and percentage completed for each of the grantee’s program year goals.

CAPER 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

Layton City continues to prioritize funding projects that achieve national objectives and community needs. As noted in the table above, some projects met or exceeded the anticipated number of beneficiaries. Expended funds were in accordance with CDBG regulations including caps on administration and public service programs. Priorities are determined through planning and coordination with local public service providers, local and regional governments, and public input. Discrepancies in actual outcomes and percentage completed for each of the City’s program years goals are due to differences in how numbers are reported in Integrated Disbursement & Information System (IDIS). Please refer to the paper submission for accurate data. $63,500 was expended for five public service programs. Each public service organization had an executed subrecipient agreement with Layton City. To ensure compliance with the Subrecipient Agreement and CDBG regulations, the CDBG Administrator conducted on-site monitoring visits to each subrecipient during the program year. The monitoring visits proved effective in certifying that all subrecipents followed CDBG regulations and spent their yearly allocation. The outbreak of COVID-19 reduced the number of low-mod persons who took advantage of some public service programs. For example: some did not use the Open Doors respite nursery service due to concerns regarding the risk of exposure to the Coronavirus. Access and affordability were two barriers to affordable housing in Layton City identified in the most recent Analysis of Impediments. The Homebuyer Assistance Program provided affordable housing opportunities to qualified low-moderate applicants. Home repair/rehab funds assisted low/moderate income households, thus increasing the quality of the neighborhood.

CAPER 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Leveraging

Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The City does not have a matching requirement but is constantly looking for ways to leverage resources to provide solutions to priorities and objectives outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Currently, the City leverages resources with subrecipients as CDBG funds are combined with other Federal, State, and local funds to sustain the operations of these organizations. Housing affordability is one of the primary concerns for low/moderate families in the City. An example of leveraging resources is the City’s partnership with the Davis School District, Northern Wasatch Realtors Association (Have a Heart), who provide the labor at little to no charge to create new, affordable homes, for income qualifying families. This partnership assists needy families and expands affordable housing opportunities in the community.

CAPER 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) CR-20 - Affordable Housing 91.520(b) Evaluation of the jurisdiction's progress in providing affordable housing, including the number and types of families served, the number of extremely low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle-income persons served.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

Layton City continued to work with Have a Heart with the purchase of a lot for construction of a new home for a low-mod income family. The City continues to operate the Homebuyer Assistance program to households making at or below 80% of the area median income. Layton City provided homebuyer assistance to 14 households, exceeding the goal of assisting 9 non-homeless households. The City was also able to help 13 households with much-needed repairs and rehab work.

CAPER 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

Due to the high interest in the Homebuyer Assistance Program, Layton City continues to dedicate sizable funding for the Homebuyer Assistance program. Layton City continues to monitor market trends and make appropriate modifications to the program. The home down payment grant amount was recently increased from $5,000 to $7,500 to keep pace with current housing market costs. Layton City also continues to offer funds for low-mod households for necessary home repair/rehab work.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

CAPER 9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs

Layton City continued to rely on subgrantees (Lantern House, Safe Harbor, Open Doors) and the Davis Community Housing Authority's expertise to establish contact with the homeless population to assess their individual needs. Layton City communicates with these entities to ascertain areas of possible assistance. Layton City’s CDBG Administrator met with staff at Safe Harbor, Lantern House, Open Doors and the Davis Community Housing Authority and discussed community needs including: identifying barriers that contribute to poverty in the community, lack of employment, income, education and housing.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

Layton City worked with four local entities to help the homeless and financially distressed individuals. These four groups, Davis County Homeless, Open Doors, Safe Harbor and Lantern House have provided emergency housing, resource and referral, and other needs to impoverished individuals.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

Layton City provided funding to Open Doors (Davis County Homeless) for motel vouchers to provide temporary housing assistance to individuals/families at risk of becoming homeless. Layton City subgrantees have done an excellent job in resource and referrals to assist homeless persons achieve self-sufficiency. Lantern House, Safe Harbor and the Davis Community Housing Authority work closely with homeless persons to assist in the transition to permanent housing through resource and referral and through the Continuum of Care Program. All of these entities track homeless persons in order to prevent them from becoming homeless again.

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

CAPER 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again

The City considers counseling services an essential component of the programs offered by subgrantees. For example, Open Doors provides counseling and educational options that help their clients achieve self-sufficiency. Another example is the Motel Voucher program that provides up to seven days of motel stay to families and individuals who are homeless or soon to be homeless. The program provides intensive case management with short-term goals to assist in homeless prevention. After the initial week, the case is reviewed to determine if further assistance is needed. The main purpose is to provide safe, temporary shelter. Resources are provided to assist with finding employment and permanent housing. Instead of creating patterns of poverty with repeat clients, they create long-term solutions to help their clients.

CAPER 11 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j) Actions taken to address the needs of public housing

Layton City does not operate any public housing units or programs. The City has and plans to continue to support local entities in trying to obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) assistance through state and federal programs. LIHTC provides tax credits to those who will offer subsidized housing.

The Davis Community Housing Authority has no expansion plans to meet the current public housing need. Their strategy has been to maintain their current portfolio, which includes operation of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, the Public Housing program, down payment assistance for first-time home buyers, TANF Homeless Prevention Program, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership

Affordability has been identified as a key barrier to affordable housing in Layton. The City coordinates with Public Housing Authorities to educate public housing residents on the Home Ownership Program offered by Layton City. Layton City continues to offer homebuyer assistance via the “At Home in Layton” program for qualifying applicants. The program is actively marketed to local lenders and the application and program details are available on the City's website. There was a high degree of interest in the program and Layton City provided additional funding to the program, including allocating program income to the program, to support the demand.

The homebuyer assistance program is offered in $7,500 increments to be used to help with down payment, closing costs and/or principal reduction. To receive assistance, applicants are required to complete an application and submit the most recent year’s tax return, a pre-approval letter from a lender, the two most recent pay stubs from all working household members and a copy of the real estate purchase contract. Applicants are also required to coordinate with lending and title companies during the purchase process. This process requires management and participation on the behalf of the applicant.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

The Davis County Housing Authority, the local public housing authority, is not considered “troubled.”

CAPER 12 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j) Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)

The CDBG Administrator for Layton City takes a proactive role in understanding CDBG rules and regulations. The Administrator participates in most available HUD web training sessions. The Layton CDBG Administrator typically attends the annual regional HUD Conference in Denver to recieve the most up-to-date information and training. This was unfortunatley cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. The City continues to operate “At Home in Layton”, a homeownership assistance program, to help low-mod income families purchase homes in Layton City. The program helped 14 households during the 2019- 2020 program year purchase homes. The CDBG Administrator helped City staff research and write its update to the General Plan that included a variety of affordable housing options throughout the community.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The City focuses all CDBG funds on underserved needs. The City also sponsors several activities using non-CDBG funds. The City holds a free emergency preparedness fair yearly and invites the community to take part in emergency preparedness preparations.

The City also assists in funding the Layton Community Action Council (LCAC), which sponsors the Youth Court. In addition to the Youth Court, LCAC sponsors adult/youth literacy programs, a boys and girls club and neighborhood watch program. In the past, the City has also used CDBG funds to put in ADA compliant sidewalks and curbs in many portions of the City.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The City continues to respond to questions or concerns about lead-based paint. City inspectors provide education as needed to respond to lead-based paint inquiries. The City also inspects houses that are purchased using CDBG homeownership assistance funds for lead-based paint issues. The CDBG Administrator personally inspects homes for all home down payment assistance applicants and is aware of the concern regarding residences built before 1978. According to governing regulations, homes that do not meet lead-based paint criteria are ineligible for homeownership assistance.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

Layton City works with several organizations to help lower the poverty level in the community. Education is regarded as one of the most effective tools to help lower poverty levels. At all ages,

CAPER 13 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) education is a key tool against poverty. To help children and teens stay in school, the City works with the Davis School District, , Layton Community Action Council (Youth Court), Safe Harbor, Open Doors and others.

By supporting families, these organizations help children and teens stay in school. The City has also worked to bring higher education to the community and actively partners with each provider to identify education needs in the community. The City is home to -Davis and Eagle Gate College. The City is also in proximity to other various educational facilities of higher education, including Davis Technical College. The City meets with these education providers to identify programs that would benefit poverty-level families. These institutions allow access to affordable education that enables persons of all income levels, including impoverished citizens, obtain life-sustaining job skills. The CDBG Administrator also consults with Safe Harbor, Lantern House and Open Doors to address ways to combat poverty in the community.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

No reports of abuse have been reported concerning the institutional structure in Layton City.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The City works with subgrantees to foster resource referral between agencies. The coordination is completed through monitoring visits, community meetings, and frequent communication.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)

Layton City partnered with the Bureau of Economic and Business Research from the University of to complete a Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in Davis County. Availability and affordability were two impediments identified in the most recent analysis. Layton City has facilitated areas to be available for multi-family developments, thus increasing the development potential of additional affordable housing stock. The City also continued to assist homebuyers via the down payment assistance and even provided additional financial resources to the “At Home in Layton” program.

Improving Fair Housing Infrastructure was an item that was identified in the Regional Analysis. In the past, Layton City has provided informational materials in both English and Spanish to local service providers that provide information on Fair Housing Choices.
