GENERAL
Executive Summary
The Executive Summary is required. Include the objectives and outcomes identified in the plan and an evaluation of past performance.
Program Year 5 Action Plan Executive Summary:
The Town of Union is the largest community in Broome County with a population of 56,348 people as of the 2010 Census. The Town consists of approximately 27,054 housing units, the majority of which (60.3%) are owner occupied.
The Town of Union contains several older neighborhoods, consisting of main or arterial streets with small pockets of commercial development immediately adjacent to one, two, and three-family dwellings. These areas usually consist of very small lots, narrow streets, many of which are in need of paving, sidewalk, and drainage improvements, and also have limited off street parking. Many of the dwelling units in these areas are well over 90 years old and could have lead paint issues if the buildings have not been well maintained.
Through a Cooperation Agreement with the Villages of Endicott and Johnson City that is renewed every three years, the Town Union is an entitlement community for the purposes of the Community Development Block Grant program only. For Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2014 the Town’s entitlement grant is estimated to be $1,094,043. This figure represents a decrease of approximately 5.7% over the prior budget cycle.
The intent of the Consolidated Plan is to provide a single, five-year plan that brings the Town's needs and resources together in a coordinated housing development strategy. The Consolidated Plan that was approved by HUD in 2010 year encompasses the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2015. The Consolidated Plan addresses the Town's priority needs, objectives, goals, and activities. This Annual Action Plan is the fifth of five that will be prepared in connection with the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 1 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
Priority Housing Needs, Objectives and Activities
According to the Consolidated Plan's Needs Assessment, the provision of quality affordable rental housing opportunities for extremely low and very-low income renters is of great need and the supply and availability of affordable rental housing, particularly for senior citizens, in the Town should be increased. Several activities to address this need are addressed in the Strategic Plan section of the Consolidated Plan. Some of these activities include:
. Providing opportunities to improve handicap accessibility and energy efficiency in addition to repairs to correct health and safety problems in multi-family rental units
. Providing a spot renewal program to purchase and rehabilitate multifamily buildings having repeated and serous code violations in order to eliminate the blighting effect of these deteriorated multifamily buildings on the surrounding neighborhoods while improving the living conditions of the low and moderate income tenants of the properties.
Another need, which should be addressed by the Town, is to assist and cultivate affordable homeownership opportunities through the construction of affordable ownership housing, the rehabilitation of existing owner occupied housing, and improving the availability of supportive services to homeowners. The following is a list of activities that will assist in this objective:
. Support and encourage the owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program including handicap accessibility and energy efficiency improvements in addition to repairs to correct health and safety problems.
. Support and encourage the First-Time Home Buyer program.
. Enhance the delivery of support services, including mortgage counseling, that will alleviate or reduce the problems of cost burden experienced by new and existing homeowners, resulting from limited economic resources.
There is a significant need for decent, affordable housing opportunities for Union’s elderly population. A large percentage of elderly homeowners and renters are currently living in substandard housing units. The needs for this group include modernization/maintenance of existing homes, providing alternative housing choices for people ‘aging out’ of their existing housing situation as a result of increased care needs, and supportive services to maintain their independence. The following actions will help support improved elderly housing:
. Support a home repair for seniors program to provide minor repair services for owner-occupied housing having elderly residents.
. Provide opportunities to renovate existing low-income senior housing rental units.
Homeless Needs, Priorities, Objectives and Activities
Based on the Continuum of Care document, interviews with various homeless service providers, and statistical analyses outlined in the Needs Assessment, an increased level and delivery of support services to the homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless are a high priority to the Town. The following activities and objectives address this need:
. Provide supportive services, particularly for chronic substance abusers and seriously mentally ill persons, to assist homeless families and persons with special needs to break the cycle of homelessness.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 2 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
. Increase the provision of permanent supportive housing and permanent housing for homeless families, individuals and persons with special needs.
Non-Housing Community Development Needs, Priorities, Objectives and Activities
Based on discussions with various service providers, maintaining and improving existing facilities and infrastructure in older neighborhoods to eliminate blight and to reduce the number of deteriorated and deteriorating housing units is a high priority for the Town. The following activities would assist in achieving this objective:
. Endorse and support the activities and programs of youth centers, senior centers, and child care centers already in existence in the Town and support the development of new centers, if there is a demonstrated need.
. Reconstruct streets within CDBG Target Areas, supplementing existing housing rehabilitation and neighborhood revitalization efforts.
. Remove, when possible, dilapidated vacant structures causing neighborhood blight.
As part of the Town's focus to improve the quality of life within the Union and attract and/or retain Demolition of 2 Endicott businesses, the Town will encourage the continued maintenance and improvement of Union’s Avenue, Johnson City infrastructure, particularly with regard to street/sidewalk improvements and code enforcement activities. These efforts will be accomplished by supporting and encouraging the repair, replacement, or reconstruction of local sidewalks and/or streets for neighborhood enhancement and to encourage economic development and by supporting existing efforts of code enforcement, including the demolition (where necessary) of unsafe structures.
The Town also has identified the need to support the continuance of existing public service programs such as those which provide services to substance abusers, employment training, elderly, physically disabled, transportation, fair housing, and/or health care. This objective will be addressed by the following activities:
. Support the continuance and/or expansion of existing local public service programs designed to assist people with substance abuse needs.
. Encourage the development, continuance and/or expansion of existing local employment training programs
. Support the continuance and/or expansion of existing local public service programs designed to assist the elderly and/or physically disabled.
. Support the development, continuance and/or expansion of existing local public service programs designed to provide transportation services to low-income and/or eldery residents and persons with special needs.
. Support the continuance and/or expansion of existing local public service programs that provide health services to low-income populations in the Town of Union.
Another need identified as a priority is to address and support the continuance and/or expansion of existing public service programs -- i.e. those which provide services to youth, and child care. Wherever feasible, the Town will also support the expansion of existing childcare programs to provide a wider array of services to children in need.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 3 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
The Town recognizes the significant need to improve and broaden its economic base. In order to accomplish this goal, the Town will enhance and expand existing economic development efforts, particularly with regard to the rehabilitation of commercial/industrial structures, improvement of infrastructure to benefit commercial/industrial businesses, and micro-business development. The following is a list of activities that will assist the Town in its economic development efforts:
. Provide funding (wherever feasible and/or appropriate) to finance infrastructure improvements that will benefit industrial/commercial properties and create/retain jobs for low and moderate income residents. In addition, wherever possible, identify/leverage alternate sources of funding to finance such improvements.
. Encourage the development of programs designed to provide "start-up" capital to small businesses in an effort to increase the number of new micro-businesses in the Town.
. Continue to support economic development technical assistance programs and projects related to the redevelopment and revitalization of the villages’ downtowns, including the administration of the revolving loan programs and support of façade improvements.
Public Housing Needs, Priorities, Objectives and Activities
The Town of Union Housing Agency is a Section-8 only agency. The strategic goals of the Town of Union Housing Agency include, among others, applying for additional rental vouchers; leveraging private or other public funds to create additional housing opportunities, and increasing independence for the elderly or families with disabilities.
The Town, through its support of the First Time Home Buyer Program and Housing Counseling Program, will continue to support Union's public housing strategies and objectives as priorities for the Town
Coordination of Resources
One of the major goals of the planning process is to enhance coordination among the various agencies involved in providing housing and social services. The Town will continue its efforts to improve communication with private industry, non-profit organizations, and public institutions as well as the general public to best allocate federal funding to address the most pressing needs of the community.
General Questions
Program Year 5 Action Plan General Questions response:
1. Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income families and/or racial/minority concentration) in which assistance will be directed during the next year. Where appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the percentage of funds the jurisdiction plans to dedicate to target areas.
The geographic area covered by this plan includes the entire Town of Union, including the incorporated villages of Endicott and Johnson City.
2. Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) (91.215(a)(1)) during the next year and the rationale for assigning the priorities.
All of the infrastructure, park, and community facility improvements are located in low-mod service areas, many of which include areas of minority concentration.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 4 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
3. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
The major obstacles to meeting unserved needs are financial and regulatory. The Town does not have control over these issues. Although the Town’s CDBG allocation for FFY 2014 increased by $101,239 over the prior fiscal year, the grant award still represents an overall loss of funding of more than 24% over the past few budget cycles.
4. Identify the federal, state, and local resources expected to be made available to address the needs identified in the plan. Federal resources should include Section 8 funds made available to the jurisdiction, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and competitive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds expected to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the strategic plan.
At the present time, potential funding sources will be the CDBG, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, and Low Income Housing Tax Credit programs. The Town of Union does not receive HOME, ESG, HOPWA, or ADDI funding by formula. On April 16, 2012, HUD published a notice in the Federal Register officially allocating $10,137,818 in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) to address unmet housing, infrastructure, and economic revitalization needs relative to a flood event that occurred in September of 2011. The Planning Department is also the Lead Agency for the CDBG-DR grant and the HUD approved Action Plan for Disaster Recovery is currently being implemented.
Managing the Process
Program Year 5 Action Plan Managing the Process response:
1. Identify the lead agency, entity, and agencies responsible for administering programs covered by the consolidated plan.
The lead agency for the development of the Annual Plan is the Town of Union Planning Department.

The notice was also posted on the Town of Union web page. On April 16, 2014, the Town Board held a public hearing prior to formulating the draft Annual Action Plan to solicit input into the plan development process.
Full copies of the draft FFY 2014 Annual Action Plan were made available for public review at the Town Office Complex, Village Hall in Endicott and Johnson City, and at the public libraries in Endicott and Johnson City. Copies of the draft plan were made available on June 25, 2014. On June 24, 2014, the Town placed an advertisement in the Press & Sun Bulletin notifying the public of the availability of the draft plan at various locations, the minimum 30-day comment period, and a summary of the draft plan. The advertisement also indicated that the Town Board would conduct a public hearing for the draft plan on July 9, 2014 at 7:30 PM. The Action Plan was also coordinated with the Town’s Citizens Advisory Committee For Community Development.

Institutional Structure
Program Year 5 Action Plan Institutional Structure response:
1. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to develop institutional structure.
Public sector involvement in housing and community development issues comes from all levels of government including federal, state, and local.
1. Federal The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides a major funding source for housing development and rehabilitation, as well as community development activities through the direct allocation of CDBG funds to the Town of Union.
2. State Agencies Several state agencies are involved in the development and implementation of housing and community development activities in the Town. For example, the New York State Department of Housing And Community Renewal and the State Housing Finance Authority provide financing and loans for the development of affordable housing, as well as low-interest mortgages to first-time homebuyers. Empire State Development Corporation also provides grants and loans for the construction, rehabilitation, and improvement of housing and commercial entities through a variety of programs. Other state agencies, such as the State Department Family Assistance, the State Office of Mental Health, the State office of Social Services, and the State Office of Mental Retardation and Development Disabilities, together with non-profit agencies, develop support programs targeted specifically to the lowest income households. In addition, many non-profits tap these state agencies to develop homeless facilities.
3. Local Agencies The Town Planning Department is involved in development and implementation of housing and community development activities in the town and has the primary responsibility for implementing the priorities and objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan.
Various county agencies, which play a vital role in implementing various community development activities and programs in the Town of Union, include the Broome County Youth Bureau, Broome County Office for Aging, Broome County Department of Social Services, and the Broome County Mental Health Association. Finally, many of the public works projects that are funded through the CDBG program, such as park improvements, street and sidewalk reconstruction, etc. are implemented by town or village agencies.
4. Non-Profit Organizations Non-profit agencies play a primary role in the provision of affordable housing, supportive social services, and economic development activities. These organizations have constant contact with the public, which provides them with a unique understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Town's housing and human service delivery system.
These organizations are an essential part of the Town's institutional structure as they are:
. Eligible for governmental and private financing; . Legally restricted to serving lower income populations; . The only agencies allowed to undertake new housing construction in several governmental programs; . In daily contact with households in need.
There are numerous active non-profit agencies within the Town.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 7 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
5. Private Industry The private sector participants in the development of affordable housing include financial institutions, builders/developers, foundations and contractors. Local financial institutions provide construction financing, low interest rehabilitation loans, mortgage financing, and loan servicing, while builders/developers are active in participating in affordable housing projects.
Monitoring
Program Year 5 Action Plan Monitoring response:
1. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to monitor its housing and community development projects and ensure long-term compliance with program requirements and comprehensive planning requirements.
Monitoring activities are undertaken in several forms. The Planning Department routinely monitors program activity. For example, after each drawdown of funds through the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) a reconciliation process involving the Town Comptroller’s Office takes place to ensure that IDIS and the Town’s accounting system are in agreement. This review takes place approximately every two weeks. A review also takes place several times per year to monitor Planning/Administration and Public Service expenditures to ensure that they are within the respective 20% and 15% caps. A periodic review is also completed to monitor the timeliness of expenditures requirement. Reviews are also undertaken to review the 70% Low/Mod benefit requirement.
Construction activities are also monitored for compliance with Davis Bacon Act (prevailing wage) requirements. Contractors submit certified payrolls (Form WH-347) that may be randomly supplemented with field interviews. The Town has relatviely few activities such as street reconstruction that will trigger Section 3 requirements and even in those cases the work is typically carried out by existing employees and there is generally no new hiring.
Procedure for Conducting CDBG Subrecipient Monitoring Visits
Documentation of National Objective:
Direct Benefit: Subrecipients are asked if and how client income is verified. The subrecipient is asked to show documentation, such as a W-2 form or pay stub, from a randomly selected client. Proof of eligibility for other programs, such as reduced and free school lunches, that have income levels at or below that of CDBG, are also accepted.
Limited Clientele: The client is qualified by “Presumed Benefit” if they are abused children, battered spouses, elderly, homeless, illiterate adults, persons living with AIDS, disabled adults, or migrant farm workers. Subrecipients are asked to show proof that the client is in one of these groups.
Area Benefit: Benefits all the residents of an area that is primarily residential and where at least 51 percent of the residents are of low to moderate income. This is determined by use of Census data prior to the site- monitoring visit.
Record Keeping The subrecipient is asked if financial and activity records are kept in an automated information system. They are asked what files, datasets or software are used. If the records are maintained on paper, they are asked if the records are readily available and arranged in a logical order. The subrecipients are asked how long records are kept.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 8 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
Financial Management The subrecipient is asked if a separate budget or line item is kept for CDBG funds. A randomly selected financial report submitted with the payment request is reviewed prior to the site visit. The subrecipient is asked to show invoices, receipts, time sheets, etc. to support the report.
Procurement Durable goods purchased with CDBG funds are observed to determine if the items delivered correspond to purchase orders or invoices. When reviewing purchased orders, checks, etc. it is determined if signatures are from authorized officials.
Public Service Agency On-Site Monitoring For FFY 2012
For Federal Fiscal Year 2012, site visits to public service agencies were conducted during August and September of 2013. The agencies appear to be performing in accordance with HUD requirements and are meeting the national objective of benefiting low to moderate-income clients.
Most of the agencies use automated information systems to maintain financial and client records. The agencies determine client eligibility by verifying income and, if serving a limited clientele, keep records to determine if the client meets the “presumed benefit” requirements. Both automated and paper records show detailed accounting of employee records and invoices. Authorized officials sign invoices, employee time sheets, and other documents, and items or services delivered match invoices.
Agency personnel attending the site visits expressed a desire to maintain a high standard in meeting HUD requirements.
Site visits for FFY 2013 are currently being scheduled during August and September of 2014.
Lead-based Paint
Program Year 5 Action Plan Lead-based Paint response:
1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to evaluate and reduce the number of housing units containing lead-based paint hazards in order to increase the inventory of lead-safe housing available to extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families, and how the plan for the reduction of lead-based hazards is related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards.
The Town will continue efforts to inform the public about the dangers of lead based paint. Low-income renters are provided with this information during the group briefings for the Section 8 program. Applicants for the Home Improvement and First Time Home Buyer programs are provided with the "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home" brochures. Visual assessments are also conducted on each dwelling unit participating in these programs.
The Planning Department recently partnered with the Broome County Health Department to insert information about a lead safety grant that the county has received with the monthly Housing Assistance Payments that were mailed to approximately 350 landlords.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 9 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
HOUSING
Specific Housing Objectives
*Please also refer to the Housing Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook.
Program Year 5 Action Plan Specific Objectives response:
1. Describe the priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction hopes to achieve during the next year.
2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by this Action Plan.
In an effort to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing the Town will continue the owner occupied Home Improvement Program and First Time Home Buyer Program. The home repair for seniors program will also be continued. These programs will serve a total of approximately 90 households. The Town will also continue efforts to pursue the adaptive re-use of vacant buildings for use as senior housing.
Needs of Public Housing
Program Year 5 Action Plan Public Housing Strategy response:
The Town of Union does not have any HUD funded Public Housing.
1. Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the needs of public housing and activities it will undertake during the next year to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership.
The Town of Union does not own or operate public housing.
2. If the public housing agency is designated as "troubled" by HUD or otherwise is performing poorly, the jurisdiction shall describe the manner in which it will provide financial or other assistance in improving its operations to remove such designation during the next year.
Although the Town does not own or operate public housing, it does receive HUD funding as a Public Housing Agency (PHA) to operate the Housing Choice Voucher program. During the most recent Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) review in 2013, the Town of Union PHA was rated as a “High Performer”.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
Program Year 5 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing response:
1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to remove barriers to affordable housing.
Within the Town of Union there are barriers to affordable housing, which include not only the cost of land, but also cost incurred in order to bring a structure up to current standards and codes. Requirements of the Town at times can also limit the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 10 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
affordable housing. Specifically building codes and property taxes can affect the return on residential investment. Each of these barriers reduces the incentive for property owners to investment in their properties. For example, if a property owner wishes to improve his or her property, the owner must spend more money to bring the property up to current codes and may incur increased property taxes due to the improvements. The property owner will either not complete the improvement or, once completed, increase the rent to make up for the additional costs of the improvements. This scenario acts as a barrier to affordable housing in two ways. First, it may deter a property owner from improving an affordable unit, which in its current state is in poor quality. Second, if the owner decides to go ahead with the improvements, he or she may increase the rent to make up for the costs incurred, thus requiring a family to be of higher income and taking away an affordable unit from the Town's housing stock.
HOME/ American Dream Down payment Initiative (ADDI)
Program Year 5 Action Plan HOME/ADDI response:
The Town of Union does not receive HOME or ADDI funding.
1. Describe other forms of investment not described in § 92.205(b).
2. If the participating jurisdiction (PJ) will use HOME or ADDI funds for homebuyers, it must state the guidelines for resale or recapture, as required in § 92.254 of the HOME rule.
3. If the PJ will use HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds, it must state its refinancing guidelines required under § 92.206(b). The guidelines shall describe the conditions under which the PJ will refinance existing debt. At a minimum these guidelines must:
a. Demonstrate that rehabilitation is the primary eligible activity and ensure that this requirement is met by establishing a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing. b. Require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestments in the property has not occurred; that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that the feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be demonstrated. c. State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both. d. Specify the required period of affordability, whether it is the minimum 15 years or longer. e. Specify whether the investment of HOME funds may be jurisdiction-wide or limited to a specific geographic area, such as a neighborhood identified in a neighborhood revitalization strategy under 24 CFR 91.215(e)(2) or a Federally designated Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community. f. State that HOME funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG.
4. If the PJ is going to receive American Dream Down payment Initiative (ADDI) funds, please complete the following narratives:

c. Describe the actions to be taken to ensure the suitability of families receiving ADDI funds to undertake and maintain homeownership, such as provision of housing counseling to homebuyers.
HOMELESS
Specific Homeless Prevention Elements
*Please also refer to the Homeless Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook.
Sources of Funds - Identify the private and public resources that the jurisdiction expects to receive during the next year to address homeless needs and to prevent homelessness. These include the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act programs, other special federal, state and local and private funds targeted to homeless individuals and families with children, especially the chronically homeless, the HUD formula programs, and any publicly-owned land or property. Please describe, briefly, the jurisdiction’s plan for the investment and use of funds directed toward homelessness.
1. Homelessness—In a narrative, describe how the action plan will address the specific objectives of the Strategic Plan and, ultimately, the priority needs identified. Please also identify potential obstacles to completing these action steps.
2. Chronic homelessness—The jurisdiction must describe the specific planned action steps it will take over the next year aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness by 2012. Again, please identify barriers to achieving this.
3. Homelessness Prevention—The jurisdiction must describe its planned action steps over the next year to address the individual and families with children at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
4. Discharge Coordination Policy—Explain planned activities to implement a cohesive, community-wide Discharge Coordination Policy, and how, in the coming year, the community will move toward such a policy.
Program Year 5 Action Plan Special Needs response:
The Town of Union is a member of the Broome County Homeless Coalition. The most recent Continuum of Care application did not identify a significant shortage of beds in the region or a chronic homelessness threat.
The Town of Union does not have any permanent shelters within its boundaries. All of the permanent regional facilities are located in the neighboring City of Binghamton where access to services is convenient. There are two transitional shelters operating within the Town targeting specific populations (teenagers and battered women). Accordingly, the Town's priority is to continue to fund (assuming level funding from HUD) these types of facilities.
The Town has historically issued Certificates of Consistency With the Consolidated Plan for several regional homeless facility applications. Previous applicants included Fairview Recovery Service, the Broome County YWCA, and Opportunities for Broome. The policies regarding chronic homelessness, homeless prevention, and discharge are formulated at the regional level through the Homeless Coalition.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 12 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
The Town believes that the services currently available to the homeless are first rate, are adequately funded, and generally well run. The YWCA women’s in Binghamton recently underwent a five million dollar renovation and the Volunteers of America recently received a 3.2 million dollar capital improvement grant for its men’s shelter on Chenango Street. The Broome County Homeless Coalition currently receives federal funds to provide shelter, counseling, and other critical services.
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG)
(States only) Describe the process for awarding grants to State recipients, and a description of how the allocation will be made available to units of local government.
Program Year 5 Action Plan ESG response:
The Town of Union is not eligible to receive ESG funding on a formula basis.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Community Development
*Please also refer to the Community Development Table in the Needs.xls workbook.
1. Identify the jurisdiction's priority non-housing community development needs eligible for assistance by CDBG eligibility category specified in the Community Development Needs Table (formerly Table 2B), public facilities, public improvements, public services and economic development.
2. Identify specific long-term and short-term community development objectives (including economic development activities that create jobs), developed in accordance with the statutory goals described in section 24 CFR 91.1 and the primary objective of the CDBG program to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. *Note: Each specific objective developed to address a priority need, must be identified by number and contain proposed accomplishments, the time period (i.e., one, two, three, or more years), and annual program year numeric goals the jurisdiction hopes to achieve in quantitative terms, or in other measurable terms as identified and defined by the jurisdiction.
Program Year 5 Action Plan Community Development response:
As is the case with older communities in the Northeast and Midwest, a primary focus of sustaining neighborhood stability and maintaining the quality of life is the ongoing replacement of aging infrastructure. Public streets, including utilities such as water, sewer, and storm drains must be upgraded over time in order for neighborhoods to continue to attract private investment. Neighborhood facilities such as community centers, parks, and other recreational facilities must provide high quality amenities since this is often a primary factor in the decision making process of homebuyers and investors. Accordingly, the FFY 2014 Annual Plan allocates approximately 45.7% of funding for street reconstruction and 2.3% for neighborhood facility improvements in low and moderate-income service areas and/or historic preservation activities.
The plan also allocates 10.3% of funding for public services and an additional 8.6% for economic development activities. Within the public service allocation, 51.8% of funds are targeted to senior citizen activities and 40.2% to youth programs. All of the percentages expressed above are exclusive of program income received.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 13 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
Funds allocated for economic development activities include project delivery costs and a number of loan programs designed to create/retain job opportunities for low and moderate income residents.
Specific performance goals for these activities are described in the CPMP Project Worksheets. The Floral Avenue Park Fencing Performance Measurement Standards were developed in accordance with the June 10, 2005 Request Replacement Project For Comments for the proposed Outcome Performance Measurement System.
Antipoverty Strategy
1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to reduce the number of poverty level families.
Program Year 5 Action Plan Antipoverty Strategy response:
The purpose of an anti-poverty strategy is to highlight those programs, goals and policies which are specifically focused upon addressing the causes and problems associated with poverty and the ways in which these efforts might be better coordinated with other public and private agencies to ultimately reduce the number of households within the jurisdiction that fall below the poverty line.
The Town of Union will utilize all means, programs, and services available to reduce the number of households in the community with incomes at or below the poverty level. The Town will provide support and funding to facilitate their efforts to reduce the number of these households. Furthermore, coordination of these efforts will be overseen by the Lead Agency.
This anti-poverty strategy, which is referred to below and also described in the one year Action Plan, includes a discussion of the activities, programs and policies which it will fund to directly or indirectly reduce the number of households with incomes below the poverty line, and the level of coordination which may be achieved with other public and private agencies in the delivery of housing and related services to those at or below the poverty line.
1. Strategic Steps The Town of Union will undertake a variety of programs and policies designed to reduce the number of households with incomes below the poverty line. The specific steps that will be taken through the expenditure of CDBG funds during the next program year are discussed in detail in other sections of this Annual Plan.
2. Coordination The Lead Agency, to the extent practicable, will continue to administer the Town's annual CDBG funding allocation and coordinate with other departments responsible for the various housing production and preservation programs as well as other programs and services for low income households. To this end, the Town will communicate and interact where necessary with appropriate departments and agencies at the local level, as well as in Broome County, such as the Department of Social Services, Department of Health, Office of the Aging, etc. In addition, coordination of programs sponsored by local services providers in the community will also be stressed. In this way, services designed to assist low-income residents may be better coordinated among public and private entities.

1. Describe the priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction hopes to achieve for the period covered by the Action Plan.
Fifth Program Year Action Plan 14 Version 2.0 Jurisdiction, Town of Union, New York
Due to funding constraints, and in order to prevent duplication of services, the Town of Union typically does not undertake housing activities for special needs residents. Most of these services are provided by other levels of government. During outreach efforts for the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan, housing surveys were sent to a number of agencies that deal with special needs populations. None of the agencies reported any service delivery problems relative to the Town of Union.
2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by this Action Plan.
Program Year 5 Action Plan Specific Objectives response:
Nearly all special needs housing programs are funded by New York State with some programs delivered by the Broome County Department of Social Services. Housing funded through OMRDD is typically provided in the form of residential setting group homes or congregate care facilities such as Broome Developmental Center.
Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS
*Please also refer to the HOPWA Table in the Needs.xls workbook.
1. Provide a Brief description of the organization, the area of service, the name of the program contacts, and a broad overview of the range/ type of housing activities to be done during the next year.
2. Report on the actions taken during the year that addressed the special needs of persons who are not homeless but require supportive housing, and assistance for persons who are homeless.
3. Evaluate the progress in meeting its specific objective of providing affordable housing, including a comparison of actual outputs and outcomes to proposed goals and progress made on the other planned actions indicated in the strategic and action plans. The evaluation can address any related program adjustments or future plans.
4. Report on annual HOPWA output goals for the number of households assisted during the year in: (1) short-term rent, mortgage and utility payments to avoid homelessness; (2) rental assistance programs; and (3) in housing facilities, such as community residences and SRO dwellings, where funds are used to develop and/or operate these facilities. Include any assessment of client outcomes for achieving housing stability, reduced risks of homelessness and improved access to care.
5. Report on the use of committed leveraging from other public and private resources that helped to address needs identified in the plan.
6. Provide an analysis of the extent to which HOPWA funds were distributed among different categories of housing needs consistent with the geographic distribution plans identified in its approved Consolidated Plan.

Town To Host Public Hearing To Solicit Public Input On Use Of Community Development Block Grant Funding
(Union, New York – April 4, 2014) — The Town of Union Town Board has scheduled a public hearing on April 16, 2014 to provide the public with an opportunity to make suggestions regarding the use of Community Develop- ment Block Grant (CDBG) funding that the Town expects to receive over the next fiscal year from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The hearing will be held at Town Hall, 3111 East Main Street in Endwell and will begin at 7:30 PM.
The Town of Union Planning Department is in the process of developing a new Annual Action Plan covering Fed- eral Fiscal Year (FFY) 2014.
FFY 2014, which represents the fifth year of the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan that was approved by HUD in Octo- ber of 2010, marks the 40th anniversary of the CDBG program. The Consolidated Plan identifies needs in the com- munity and outlines priorities and strategies for meeting those needs. The Town (including the Villages of Endicott and Johnson City) expects to receive $1,094,043 in new CDBG funding covering the period October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The FFY 2014 allocation represents a 5.7% reduction in funding over the previous year due to spending cuts implemented by Congress.
CDBG funding can be used to address a wide range of community needs such as:
Street Reconstruction Housing Rehabilitation Park Improvements First Time Homeownership Public Services Public Facilities and Improvements Code Enforcement Clearance and Demolition Acquisition of Real Property Economic Development
Additional information regarding the program is available under the Community Development section of the Town’s web site at: www.townofunion.com
Each eligible activity must also address one of three National Objectives established for the CDBG program by:
. Benefitting low and moderate-income persons; . Preventing or eliminating slums or blight; . Meeting other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing condi- tions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other finan- cial resources are not available to meet such needs.

Town of Union Releases Draft Federal Fiscal Year 2014 Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan
(Union, New York – June 24, 2014) – The Town of Union Department of Planning has released a draft version of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2014 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The Town expects to receive $1,094,043 in new CDBG funding for FFY 2014, which covers the period October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The Town is eligible to receive CDBG funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development on an annual basis through a Cooperation Agreement with the villages of Endicott and Johnson City.
The FFY 2014 grant award represents a $66,267 (5.7%) reduction in funding over the previous budget cycle.
Beginning on June 25, 2014 the draft plan will be available for review at the following locations:
Town of Union Planning Department, 3111 East Main Street, Endwell Johnson City Village Hall, 243 Main Street, Johnson City Your Home Library, 107 Main Street, Johnson City Endicott Village Hall, 1009 East Main Street, Endicott George F.

The draft plan, which was recommended by the Town’s seven-member Citizens Advisory Committee for Community Development, manages to maintain core services although many are funded at reduces levels. Highlights of the draft plan include a number of infrastructure and neighborhood facility investments such as:
. Security improvements at the Family Enrichment Network facility in Johnson City . Reconstruction of Sherman St. – Grand Ave. to Floral (Village of Johnson City) . Phase 2, Reconstruction of N. Loder Ave. – 200 Block (Village of Endicott) . Replacement of the exterior doors at the SOS Shelter

Priority 6 Promote the provision of additional outreach services, supportive housing, and permanent housing for the homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless. Priority 7 Preserve and enhance the quality of life in older neighborhoods by providing high quality public amenities such as parks, public facilities, and infrastructure to eliminate blight, reduce the number of deteriorated and deteriorating housing units, and create an environment conducive to attracting additional public and private investment. Priority 8 Provide services and support for the elderly, youth, disabled, and other extremely low-, very low-, and low- income people in a manner that encourages public, private, and non-profit sector collaboration and reduces program duplication Priority 9 Promote accessibility to public facilities and places by removal of architectural barriers. Priority 10 Preserve buildings and neighborhoods of local, state, or national historic importance and/or architectural significance. Priority 11 Enhance job creation/retention for low and moderate income persons by improving the viability of target area neighborhood business districts, promoting the rehabilitation of commercial/industrial structures, improving target area infrastructure such as street amenities and parking facilities in order to stimulate private investment, and providing technical assistance to new and established businesses.

Main St., Endwell. The first public hearing was held in April prior to the drafting of the plan. The town board is scheduled to vote on the plan at its Aug. 6 meeting. The Town of Union expects to receive Road improvement projects proposed for Loder Avenue in Endicott nearly $1.1 million in federal funding and Sherman Street in Johnson City would get a combined $500,000 under the Town of Union's spending plan now under review. / for community development purposes KRISTOPHER RADDER/Staff Photo next fiscal year, and the largest share of the money is slated for a pair of construction projects in Endicott and Johnson City. Road improvement projects proposed for Loder Avenue in Endicott and Sherman Street in Johnson City would would get a combined $500,000 under the town’s spending plan released last week. The $250,000 pegged for Loder Avenue would fund phase two of a reconstruction project that was awarded $225,000 this past fiscal year. The money comes as part of the Community Development Block Grant program run through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It’s intended to improve living environments and economic opportunities, particularly in low- and moderate-income areas. The Town of Union has received funding through the program for the last 40 years, according to a notice released by the town. A cooperation agreement between the town and the villages of Endicott and Johnson City qualifies it as an “entitlement community” under the program. Grants for those communities are based on measures like population, poverty rates and overall community need. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20140704/NEWS01/307030054/-500K-Town-Union-... 7/7/2014 $500K of Town of Union's $1.1M grant planned for road projects | Press & Sun-Bulletin |... Page 2 of 2 The Town of Union expects this year’s grant award to be about $66,000 lower than last year’s. Town Supervisor Rose Sotak said the town tries to spread the funds between different areas and a variety of programs. “We work very hard to get that funding and administrate that program,” Sotak said. “(The money) is much needed for ... various programs that are very, very needed within our area.” Close to $112,000 of the grant money is earmarked for “public services” that include Meals on Wheels, the Johnson City Senior Center and the Teen Transitional Program at Catholic Charities. The figure is about $10,000 less than the amount given to public services through the program last year. Darlene Leonard, executive director of the Johnson City Senior Center, said the block grant money enables the center to take on critical projects it otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford. The center is set to receive $18,000 under the proposal, and Leonard said the money would be used for refurbishing the parking lot and fixing a serious drainage problem there. “(The money is) extremely important because we are not-for-profit, and we raise our funds as we can,” Leonard said. “If we didn't have that block grant, we would not be able to do (the parking lot project) at all.” Among the other projects listed in the plan is $80,000 for the town’s home improvement program, $34,000 for dilapidated structure demolition and $2,200 for security upgrades to the Family Enrichment Network in Johnson City. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20140704/NEWS01/307030054/-500K-Town-Union-... 7/7/2014 Federal Fiscal Year 2014 Meeting Minutes Citizens Advisory Council for Community Development and Town Board Town of Union (Prepared Resolution filed as part of these minutes to approve the following donation to the Color of Freedom Walk/Run for the July 4th Extravaganza at Highland Park: Pope & Schrader, LLP $ 100.00.)

The members requested the list of applications in spreadsheet format. P. Nelson will prepare it for the next meeting. CDBG-DR Update P. Nelson provided the members with an update of the CDBG Disaster Recovery grant.

The FEMA buyout program and the CDBG-DR funded Acquisition for Redevelopment program are well underway. Demolitions are already underway.

Nelson advised the members that the Town may have difficulty meeting the timeliness of expenditure tests when HUD conducts the analysis on August 2nd. The Town will meet the "Unadjusted" Line of Credit test but may not meet the "Adjusted" test due to the large amount of cash in the LDC checking account and a chronic lack of loan activity. $399,767 needs to be spent by the calculation date in order to meet the requirement. P. Nelson updated the members about several capital projects that are in the design stage including the N. Loder Ave. and Concord St. reconstruction projects. These projects may be out to bid by the end of June. P. Nelson advised the members that the Sherman Dr. project continues to be held up by a lack of cooperation from the Village of Endicott relative to an easement required to loop the village water lines.
