PASS AROUND TITLE: Approval of the CDBG 2023 Comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation Report
(CAPER)
DEPARTMENT: CDBG Program DATE: 5/21/24
PERSON REQUESTING: Elizabeth Relford & Cynthia Martin
Brief description of the problem/issue:
The Weld County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program will be submitting its third
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD. The CAPER is an annual end -of -
the year financial and accomplishments report required of all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
programs. The report provides the status and accomplishments of the Weld County CDBG Program included
in the 2023 Annual Action Plan, and a general assessment of activities undertaken during the year to address
priorities, goals, and objectives identified in the Weld County 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan. The Weld County
CDBG Program year is April 1. to March 31st. HUD requires the CAPER to be submitted within 90 days after
the close of the program year, in our case, June 30, 2024.
The goals of the Weld County 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan identify the use of CDBG funds for improvements
to infrastructure and public facilities, improved access to public services, housing preservation and general
grant administration. In our first three program years, a total of $3,271,742 in grant funds have been received
from HUD and another $1,211,310 is to be allocated for program year 2024. To date, our Program has awarded
funding to twenty-one (21) CDBG projects throughout Weld County.
After a mandatory 15 -day public comment period, this report will be submitted to HUD. Public comments
received, if any, during this period will be included in the report.
What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options):
1. Approve submission of the CAPER to HUD as presented after the 15 -day comment period.
2. Schedule a work session to review the report prior to submission of the report to HUD.

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 Weld County Program Year 2023 (PY 2023) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the third annual
performance report for the Weld County Consolidated Plan (2021-2025) and describes progress made for PY 2023 towards the goals set forth in
the Consolidated Plan. The plan goals wanted to ensure that assisting low -and moderate -income persons would be a top priority for the
program. Commissioners' priorities identified housing preservation, access to services, and addressing public infrastructure and facilities needs.
The Firestone VIA Transit project continued to provide on -demand transportation for low and moderate -income persons, through Dec, 31, 2023
and the Weld County Operational Transportation - 60+ Ride Program began on Feb. 1, 2024, began giving no -cost rides to senior residents of
rural Weld County (access to services). The Milliken ADA Ramp Project, completed during this program year, removed architectural barriers to
accessibility in a residential neighborhood in Milliken and the Dacono Waterline Replacement Project, also completed this program year,
replaced a deteriorated waterline and sidewalks in a low and moderate -income manufactured home subdivision in the City of Dacono
(improving infrastructure). Two infrastructure projects supporting accessibility— Keenesburg Accessible Sidewalk Project and Eaton Non -
Conforming ADA Ramp Replacement Project- were both 80% complete by the end of PY 2023. The Firestone Housing Rehabilitation Program
which provides minor home repairs for owner -occupied, single-family residences of low and moderate -income persons in Firestone was
underway at four sites at the end of PY 2023 and will be continuing on in PY 2024 (housing preservation). All these project activities show how
the Weld CDBG program is working to meet the goals of the Consolidation and Annual Action plans.
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)

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 Weld CDBG program does not require a cash match, nor do they reimburse their
subrecipients for indirect costs.
The Town of Dacono leveraged $56,000 in local funds to their Glen Dale Street infrastructure
project, including paying a consultant for engineering and management of the project.
The Town of Firestone leveraged $50,000 in local funds to their VIA Transit program and is
managing the program with their own administrative staff.

The Firestone Housing Rehabilitation program began assisting families late in PY 2023 with the
program underway at four sites at the end of the program year. However, work was not
completed at any of these sites by the end of the program year. Housing projects seem to take
longer to go through the environmental review process, secure needed agreements and engage
in marketing to get the word out and this project was no exception. This project is estimated to
be completed in Summer 2024.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
More time will be given for rehabilitation programs to gear up to begin services.

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
The Weld CDBG program assists in keeping people in their homes through funding rehabilitation
programs that serve those low and moderate -income persons, in particular owner -occupied persons.
We work with the Northern Colorado Continuum of Care (NOCO COC) and Homeless prevention. The
Northern Colorado Continuum of Care was founded in January 2022. In October 2021, we were
contacted by United Way of Weld County who was leading the community in responding to NOCO COC's
first HUD Notice Of Funding Opportunity for the Continuum of Care Program requesting the we review
their application for consistency with our Consolidated Plan. We complied and issued a signed
Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan. We noted that two of their grant requests meet
the goals and strategy of the Plan.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
We work with the Northern Colorado Continuum of Care and Homeless prevention. We have partnered
on the development of some of their funding requests. We met with their Board and provided advice
the development of some of their funding requests and issuing letters of consistency of with our
Consolidated Plan for these projects. Their goals are in line with the Consolidated Plan. The County
Human Services department is a strong partner in assisting these organizations and persons needing
shelter.
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
The Weld County Human Services department is a strong partner in assisting organizations such as
United Way of Weld, A Women's Place, Veterans organizations and other persons needing shelter. They
do this by working with individuals in need and partner with non -profits that provide the appropriate
services.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
CAPER 9
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The County Human Services department is a strong partner in assisting organizations such as United
Way of Weld, A Women's Place, Veterans organizations and other persons needing shelter. They do this
by working with individuals in need and partner with non -profits that provide the appropriate services.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The Weld County Housing Authority and the other housing authorities in various jurisdictions take care
of their units.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The housing authorities don't feel it's one of their responsibilities. We plan to continue to work with
them. Housing authorities are independent agencies with their own board of directors.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
There are no troubled housing authorities.
CAPER 11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 Commissioners continued their media campaign to help educate citizens on their rights on the Fair
Housing Act. The county is also going to develop its first ever Environmental Justice Plan in 2024. In
addition, Weld County will use administrative funds to assist in the development of a Housing Needs
Assessment to better understand existing and future housing conditions.
Affordable housing was another important topic at the capitol this legislative session. House Bill 24-1152
created the ability to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) in all residential zone districts as a
permitted use. Weld County just completed Ordinance 2024-04, amending Chapter 23 to allow ADUs in
all residential zone districts. This ordinance became effective on June 14, 2024.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
One of priority goals of the Plan is to provide access to services to underserved persons. Weld County
CDBG funds were used to expand the Firestone VIA Transit service to seven hours a day, five days a
week to low and moderate -income persons, as well as persons with disabilities. In addition, the Weld
County 60+Ride serves unincorporated areas of the county offering no cost rides in their new wheelchair
accessible van.
We have been approached by the State of Colorado to take the program income of a project that has
stalled in one of their programs (NSP). They would like us to use some of those funds for housing
rehabilitation programs. We are working on how to manage such a program.
Actions taken to reduce lead -based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The county has worked with the State Health Department to access lead -based paint mitigation offered
by the state. The county health department has done some outreach to the citizens of the county.
In future years, it is planned to develop a housing rehab grant program that will prioritize owner -
occupied houses with children for lead -based mitigation. The Weld County Housing Authority has
program income from an NSP program that could be used for the rehab grant program.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty -level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
CAPER 12
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The institutional structure is in place and working well at the county. Our intent is to assist participating
jurisdictions on an as needed basis.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
We are fortunate to have a non-profit housing agency representative on the CDBG Advisory Committee.
Also, on the committee is a person that assists homeless veterans. This helps with some coordination
with service agencies. We meet with the continuum of care and United Way regularly. Each year we
send out information on the CDBG program to many agencies providing services to minorities, low and
moderate -income persons, women's programs and persons with disabilities. This will be continued into
the future. We also work extensively with our county human services department.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
Each year, staff will work with the commissioners on developing an outreach plan to provide effective
and meaningful connections. We are hopeful a new Environmental Justice Plan will assist with this
effort. Until then, we continue the social media campaign about a citizen's rights under the Fair Housing
Act. This year the Commissioners put forth a Proclamation in April to assist the media campaign helping
educate citizens on their rights on the Fair Housing Act.
CAPER 13

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
The main goal of the CDBG program is help grantees stay in compliance with the regulations required of
the grant. To do this, we plan to provide technical assistance throughout the grant process. Once the
technical assistance is understood, monitoring will occur on a time -to -time basis for all grantees. During
monitoring, we will follow HUD guidelines for monitoring. We also put together a checklist of items that
agencies can use to make sure they have the documents needed for an efficient monitoring meeting.
Technical Assistance will be a mainstay of the program to help grantees understand what is required.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to
comment on performance reports.
We plan to provide a public notice and hearing on the CAPER. We also plan a social media blitz, using
Twitter and Facebook, requesting comment on the CAPER. We plan to give at least 15 days for review
and comment.

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction's program objectives
and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its
experiences.
As we moved into our fourth year, we continue to learn lessons we think can continue to improve our
program. Small communities struggle on implementation. Our goal was to have projects completed
within 12 months. However, we learned this timeframe is difficult based on the current funding cycle for
our program so have increased this to 18 months. We have made the application process for extensions
of the subrecipient agreement quicker allowing staff to extensions of 90 days or less without approval
from the Board of County Commissioners.
We learned how important it is to get more complete data reports from our agencies. We have updated
our required quarterly reports to require the submission of more detailed information when reporting
accomplishments.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has outlined three clear national

Weld County 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan are to use the funds for infrastructure improvements,
improved public facilities, improved access to public services, housing preservation, and general
grant administration.
CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic
opportunities, principally for low- and moderate -income persons through public facilities and
infrastructure improvements, rehabilitation and preservation, and economic/job development.
A public hearing will be held at 9:00 a.m., on June 10, 2024, at the Weld County Administration
