Spencer, City Attorney Re: City Code Amendments to Sections 21-37, Discharge of air gun, gravel shooter, pneumatic gun, etc. and 24-2.1, Prohibition of firearms on city property. To address concerns raised by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, our office is recommending that we amend Section 21-37, Discharge of air gun, gravel shooter, pneumatic gun, etc. and Section 24-2.1, Prohibition of firearms on city property. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources is concerned that his clients are not exempted from these two City Code sections. They have confirmed that these proposed changes will address their concerns. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources believes that they would be violating the law if they used a pneumatic gun to tranquilize a bear. I explained that Section 21-37 was a part of the City Code when in May of 2017, Department of Game and Inland Fisheries responded to a report of a bear in downtown Roanoke. A pneumatic gun was used to tranquilize the bear without incident. Despite this past practice, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources would like our City Code to be amended before they respond to any request for services by the City of Roanoke. The language in our existing City Code is similar to the language found in the codes of City of Richmond, Henrico County, City of Hampton, City of Virginia Beach, Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax. None of these other localities carve out a specific exception for wildlife officials. However, I believe that it is in the best interest of the City to make these amendments. Overview of Proposed Amendments The amendments to Section 21-37, Discharge of air gun, gravel shooter,pneumatic gun, etc. and Section 24- 2.1, Prohibition of firearms on city property, create specific exemptions for conservators of the peace, animal wardens and wildlife officials acting in their official capacity. Recommended Action Consider the proposed amendments to Section 21-37, Discharge of air gun, gravel shooter, pneumatic gun, etc. and Section 24-2.1, Prohibition of firearms on city property to create specific exemptions for conservators of the peace, animal wardens and wildlife officials acting in their official capacity. IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE,VIRGINIA AN ORDINANCE amending and reordaining Section 21-37 Discharge of air gun gravel shooter, pneumatic gun etc. to Chapter 21, Offenses - Miscellaneous, of the Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), as amended; and dispensing with the second reading of this ordinance by title.

(d) As used in this section, the term, "pneumatic gun" means any implement, designed as a gun, that will expel a BB or a pellet by action of pneumatic pressure. The term "pneumatic gun" includes a paintball gun that expels by action of pneumatic pressure plastic balls filled with paint for the purpose of marking the point of impact. 1 (e) All uses of a pneumatic gun otherwise allowed under this section by a minor below the age of sixteen(16) years shall be under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or other adult supervision approved by the minor's parent or guardian. (f) All minors, when permitted by a parent or guardian to use a pneumatic gun, shall be responsible for obeying all laws, regulations, and restrictions governing such use. (g) The training of minors in the use of pneumatic guns shall be done only under direct supervision of a parent, guardian, or a certified instructor. Training of minors above the age of sixteen(16)may also be done without direct supervision if approved by the minor's instructor,with the permission of and under the responsibility of a parent or guardian, and in compliance with all requirements of this section. Instructors may be certified by the National Rifle Association, a state or federal agency that has developed a certification program, any service of the Department of Defense, the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, American Legion, 4-H, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, Boy or Girl Scouts, USA Shooting, and similar groups approved by the chief of police, or any person authorized by these entities to certify instructors.

Hamilton, Clerk of the Circuit Court B / F� � , Clerk CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: July 5, 2022 Subject: Public Hearing on 2022 HUD Annual Action Plan Background: Each year, the City of Roanoke receives entitlement funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. This funding is provided through three programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The City will receive approximately $2.7 million in new funds for the fiscal year that runs from July 1 , 2022 through June 30, 2023 (FY 23). The FY23 Annual Action Plan combines new funding with estimated unspent funds from the previous years' CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. Program income, such as may be realized through the sale of a property, is returned to the City and becomes another source of funding. Pandemic-related funding remains available in addition to these conventional sources of revenue. A portion of the CDBG-CV funds received through the 2020 CARES Act allocation remain and American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP) funds for housing development will be available once an allocation plan is approved by HUD. Each Annual Action Plan is based on the guidance of a Consolidated Plan. The current Consolidated Plan covers years 2020-2024 and describes the City and its overall priorities and objectives for the anticipated funds. Within the context of the Consolidated Plan, each year's Annual Action Plan describes the specific activities to be undertaken for the program year. Considerations: The 2022 Annual Plan proposes $6,504,324 in funding, most of which is leveraged by nonprofit agencies or City funds to provide eligible services. These agencies provide new affordable housing, housing rehabilitation, public services, neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and programs to reduce and end homelessness. Additional pandemic-related funding has more than doubled the HUD allocations represented by the Annual Action Plan. By comparison, pre- pandemic plans ranged from $2.5M to $3M. Leadership of the Community Resources team is reviewing staffing to determine if additional resources are needed to manage increased demand for project management, monitoring expenditures, and managing the financial reporting to HUD. A Citizen Participation Plan has been adopted to ensure compliance with HUD requirements. Pursuant to the guidance of this plan, a public meeting was held November 10, 2021 , to receive citizen input on development of the Annual Action Plan and offer assistance to agencies with the application process. Once applications for funding were submitted, there was an extensive engagement process with community stakeholders to review applications and make recommendations for funding. Staff provided a score and risk assessment for each application. From this information, each committee worked to formulate recommended funding plans for each program area. Staff wishes to acknowledge and thank these committee members for their service to the community: Emergency Solutions Lee Clark, Matt Crookshank, Malora Horn, Tanyia Jones, Annette Lewis, Paula Prince, and Isabel Thornton Public Services Tim Cerebe, Helen Ferguson, Tanyia Jones, Steven Martin, Paula Prince, and Charles Wilson Community Development Jordan Bell, Tom Carr, Katharine Gray, Alyshia Merchant, David Prosser, Sunni Purviance, Kenny Rodgers, Kris Tilley-Lubbs, and Damon Williams Once a draft Annual Action Plan was drafted, the remaining elements of the Citizen Participation Plan were initiated. A 30-day public comment period was opened on June 13, 2022 and will continue through July 14, 2022. The remaining requirement for a public hearing by City Council is scheduled to be held on Tuesday July 5, 2022 during the 2:00 pm regular session. The public comment period and public hearing were duly advertised in the Roanoke Times and Roanoke Tribune. Copies of the draft 2022 Annual Action Plan have been made available to the public for review and comment. in addition, the Community Engagement Office has publicized the invitation to review the plan through MyRoanoke notices to local media and subscribers and through social media channels. 2 The proposed Annual Action Plan implements City Council's policy of directing a majority of the CDBG and HOME programs into a single target neighborhood over a number of years. FY23 will be the second full year that HUD funds are devoted to the Belmont Fallon Target Area, directing over $1 .5M in CDBG and HOME funds into the neighborhood for improvement projects and programs. The proposed Executive Summary of the 2022 Annual Action Plan is attached to this report. Following the public hearing, staff will make adjustments to the plan if necessary and present a final version for your consideration on July 18, 2022. That action will include authorization of the City Manager to submit the Plan to HUD. Recommended Action: Receive and consider public comment on the Annual Action Plan. OE �S60WELL, Jr City Manager Attachment: 2022 HUD Annual Plan Executive Summary Distribution: Council Appointed Officers Clarence Grier, Deputy City Manager for Operations W. Brent Robertson, Assistant City Manager for Community Development/Chief Financial Officer Amelia C. Merchant, Deputy Director of Finance Chris Chittum, Assistant City Manager Jillian Papa Moore, Acting Director of Planning, Building and Development Keith Holland, Community Resources Program Administrator 3 CITY OF ROANOKE HUD ENTITLEMENT GRANTS RECOMMENDED 2022 ANNUAL PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview For the fiscal year beginning July, 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 (FY 22-23) The City of Roanoke anticipates receiving approximately$2.7 million in new entitlement funds annually from the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) in three grants:Community Development Block Grant(CDBG),HOME Investment Partnerships(HOME)and Emergency Solutions Grant(ESG). Roanoke is an entitlement community under these HUD programs. This means that HUD funds are allocated to the City every year using a formula based on population, income levels, and other factors. The amount that the City receives then depends on how much Congress appropriates for the entire nation. Additionally,the 2022 Annual Plan includes carryover funds from CARES Act(CDBG-CV)funding that remains unspent and needs to be reprogrammed in this plan. The City has also been notified by HUD that we will be receiving American Rescue Plan Act(HOME-ARP)funds upon approval of an Allocation Plan to be submitted in the coming months. This Annual Plan includes 5% administrative/planning costs for HOME-ARP allowable prior to receiving the full allocation.The City anticipates the remaining funds will be available for programming for eligible activities in the 2023 Annual Plan. The development of the City's HUD Annual Plan is a process that involves HCR and city staff,non-profits and community funding partners,citizen review teams and stakeholders of our HUD target area. Localities are required by HUD to hold at least two public meetings during the preparation of our Annual Plan and comply with requirements in the Citizen Participation Plan. The first public meeting for Roanoke was held on November 10,2021 and hosted by staff from the HUD Community Resources(HCR)division of the Department of Planning,Building&Development,This meeting explained how the variousfederal fundscould be used,identified objectives to be addressed, explained the target area approach, and reviewed the Council policy on use of HUD Funds. The meeting also served as a"how to apply"workshop for interested non-profit agencies and city departments. Over 50 participants attended the meeting/workshop. On November 12,2021, HCR opened up online applications utilizing ZoomGrants program for potential applicants to access. HCR staff offered technical assistance during the open application period on the application process and to answer program questions on eligibility and viability. Applications were sought for CDBG,HOME and ESG programming. Within CDBG,activities fall into the classifications of Public Services or Community Development. HUD limits no more than 15%of CDBG entitlement funds can be used for Public Services,and Council policy further limits that amount to 95%of the maximum. In total, there were over 40 applications received in all categories with total requests of more than $7.8 million. With annual entitlements, carry over from prior year, program income and HOME-ARP funds, total budget for all HCR programming is$6.5 million. After the applications were closed on January 19,2022,HCR staff began reviewing the applications to determine if the described activity meets one of the 3 National Objectives set by HUD and other eligibility criteria. If the proposed program meets basic eligibility standards, HCR staff then scored the application using an objective scoring system and performed a risk assessment on each application to determine the extent and scope of monitoring and technical assistance that may be required. The scoring sheets and risk assessments were provided to members selected on the various Citizen Review Committees to assist in the review and ranking of applications for Public Services,Community Development and ESG. Members of the Citizen Review Committees were recommended by the HCR Administrator to the Director of Planning, Building& Development and approved by the City Manager. Every effort is made to make the committees diverse by race and sex,but also with a working knowledge of public services, community development, economic development and homeless services. Each committee includes representation from the Belmont/Fallon Target Area as well. The committees are reminded that they serve in an advisory capacity only,with City Council making the final decision on funding.For ESG applications,the Blue Ridge Interagency Council on Homelessness acts as review and advisory panel. A subcommittee of BRICH reviewed ESG applications and made funding recommendations to the full board during their March meeting and offer recommended funding to the HCR Administrator, based on estimated revenues. The Citizen Review Committee members were provided access to ZoomGrants for the applicable applications once the filing deadline passed in January. They were tasked to review and familiarize themselves with the various applications and to contact HCR staff if they had questions. The three committees were later convened in separate meetings in March and asked to rank the various proposals based on the information provided to them by the applicants. Each committee's rankings are then used by HCR staff to prioritize funding and provide recommended levels to the city manager. Effort is made to stretch the limited funds out as much as possible,with those ranked higher getting priority on funding. In an effort to stretch our resources,some agencies do not receive the full amount as requested but enough so as still provide a scaled back,but functional program. Once the City Manager has reviewed and/or edited the recommended funding from the HCR Administrator, City Council is provided with the proposed funding plan,typically in late March,and a public notice is advertised per the Citizen Participation Plan. During the 30 day public comment period, City Council will hold the second required public meeting to receive feedback and comments on the proposed Annual Plan.The HCR Administrator mails letters at that time of the public notice to each applicant notifying them of the amount of funding that has been recommended to City Council,and encouraged to attend the public hearing to speak on their award amount. No action on the Annual Plan is taken during the same meeting as the public hearing,although Council members are welcomed to ask questions of HCR or city management to openly discuss the proposed plan. This would be an opportunity for Council members to debate and decide to adjust the individual allotments. At the following regular meeting of City Council,a resolution is presented authorizing the City Manager or his designee to submit the Annual Plan to HUD under the funding levels proposed to City Council. City Council can change the recommended plan prior to adoption of the resolution. The deadline for submission of ourAnnual Plan is generally May 15 each year. For the 2022 Annual Plan,HUD did not announce the entitlement allocations to states and local governments until May 13,2022 due to a delay in Congress in passing an omnibus spending bill that funded US Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is why the Annual plan process could not run concurrently with the City's budget approval process.This year's HUD Annual Plan is set for a 30 day comment period beginning May 23,2022 and concluding June 22,2022. City Council will hold a public hearing on June 6,2022 and adopt a plan on June 20,2022,with the plan submitted to HUD once the 30 day comment period is complete and all comments received are included in the plan submission. CDBG CDBG funds have been allocated to the City since 1975 and can be used for activities ranging from housing to economic development and from job training to infrastructure projects. For the 2022-2023 program year,the City is scheduled to receive $1,818,463 in new CDBG entitlement funds. This amount is a DECREASE from 2021 allocation by$43,782 due to reduced funding by Congress in the CDBG program.CDBG funds are primarily intended to benefit low-and moderate-income persons and areas, though a limited amount can also be used for reducing blight in economically distressed areas. The amount of funds that can be used for administration,planning,and human services is also limited by regulation and City Council policy. The 2022-2023 Annual Plan has administrative cost of$363,220,keeping within the 20%threshold allowed by HUD. Public Services are generally capped at 15%of entitlement funds,with Council policy limiting that to 95%of the maximum. Public Services are recommended at 73%of maximum allowed. Non-public service capacity is reflected in the funding in other categories,mostly Housing Development. The 2022-2023 Annual Plan includes$385,865 in carryover funding from prior years as well as$340,000 in program income. HOME The HOME program is exclusively for housing to benefit those of low or moderate income,including rehabilitation,new construction, homeownership assistance,and improvements to rental housing. The City has been receiving HOME funds since 1992. For the 2022-2023 program year,the City is scheduled to receive$760,067 in new HOME funds.The 2022 allocation is an INCREASE to the HOME program of$84,259 from 2021. HOME funds require a 12.5%match,which is met with volunteer labor from Habitat for Humanity projects funded with HOME dollars. At least 15% of each annual HOME grant must be invested in qualifying projects conducted by Community Housing Development Organizations("CHDOs"). Currently,Habitat for Humanity is the only CHDO serving the city. Administrative expenses for HOME are set at$75,633, below the 10% maximum allowed. The 2022-23 Annual Plan includes$19,892 in prior year carryover funds for reprogramming. ESG The emphasis for use of Emergency Solutions Grant funds has shifted from providing for activities that assist homeless individuals and families to early intervention and prevention of homelessness. HUD has issued new rules,for the distribution of these funds by entitlement communities,which are being assessed by city staff,the Roanoke Continuum of Care,the Roanoke Valley Council of Community Services and Blue Ridge Interagency Council on Homelessness. Total entitlement funding in FY 2021-2022 is .scheduled to be $156,541, with an additional $33,482 in prior year carryover funds. 2022 ESG entitlement revenues are an INCREASE of$3,417 from the prior year. Administrative costs for the ESG program are set at$11,240,below the 7.5%allowable by HUD. CDBG-CV The City was awarded$1,603,011 in CDBG-CV funds through the Coronavirus Aid,Relief,and Economic Security Act(CARES Act) in April 2020. These funds are restricted to eligible activities related to the prevention,preparation and response to the COVID-19 pandemic in our community. These funds have been programmed for a number of public service and economic development needs since 2020,and the 2022 HUD Annual Plan anticipates$540,678 remain unspent and available for carryover for similar eligible activities.CDBG-CV funds are required to be expended by in full by September 1,2027. HUD requires that localities expend 80%of CDBG-CV funds within 3 years of allocation,or September 1,2024.The City has expended approximately 67%of CDBG-CV funds through June 30,2022, The 2022 Annual Plan programs all remaining CDBG-CV funds to be expended by June 30,2023. While administrative costs are allowed by HUD to manage/monitor CDBG-CV funds,all administrative costs have been absorbed through regular CDBG caps since 2020. HOME-ARP In April 2021, the City received notice from HUD of an award of funds to the HOME Investment Partnership Program from the American Rescue Plan Act. Total funds to be awarded are$2,449,336,but only 5%are available for administration and planning until the City submits an allocation plan to HUD. Consulting services are being procured to begin developing this plan to determine priorities from eligible housing activities. HOME-ARP funds can be used for four (4) eligible activities: the production and preservation of affordable housing;tenant-based rental assistance;supportive services including homeless prevention services and housing counseling; and the purchase or development of non-congregate shelter for individuals or families experiencing homelessness. For the 2022 Annual Plan,primarily administrative/planning funds will be utilized to prepare for subsequent funding likely to be programmed during the development of the 2023 Annual Plan. HOME-ARP funds are not required to be fully expended until September 30,2030 Available Funding Cate or Description Available Funding CDBG 2022-2023 Entitlement Grant $1,818,463 Carry-Over and Program Income $725,865 Subtotal—CDBG Funds Available $2,544,328 HOME 2022-2023 Entitlement Grant $760,067 Carry-Over Funds $19,892 Subtotal—HOME Funds Available $779,959 ESG: 2022-2023 ESG Entitlement Grant $156,541 Carry-Over Funds $33,482 Subtotal—ESG Funds Available $190,023 CDBG-CV 2020-2021 Allocation $0 Carry-Over Funds $540,678 Subtotal—CDBG-CV Funds Available $540,679 HOME-ARP 2021-2022 Allocation $2,449,336 Carry-Over Funds Lo Subtotal—HOME-ARP Funds Available $2,449,339 Total 2022-2023 All HUD Funding Available $6,504,343 Allocation of Resources: The City's 2022-2023 Annual Plan outlines the use of over$million in CDBG,HOME, ESG,CDBG-CV and HOME-ARP funding, including carry-over and program income.

The program would be managed by staff of the City's Economic Development Department to market the program,verify income and coordinate training to be offered by qualified public or private agencies in an effort to increase capacity and workforce in the building trades. This would provide a secondary benefit to support other housing rehabilitation efforts routinely funded by CDBG and HOME funds. This program would help in the recovery from the job market due in large part by the COVID-19 pandemic and funded with unprogrammed CARES Act funds-received in 2020.(Recommended:$200,000 CDBG-CV) HOMELESS SERVICES • Case Management(Family Promise of Greater Roanoke)-Funds will provide for staff to provide extensive case management of families utilizing homeless sheltering operated by Family Promise. The position will perform initial intake,work with each family to develop life-management plans,make referrals to mental health services and physical health services,arrange child care for families,arrange transportation and oversee the day center. (Recommended:$30,953 ESG) • Homeless Management Information System(Council of Community Services)-CCS,in its role as the HMIS Lead for the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care, seeks to maintain quality data on the homeless individuals and families who reside in the Roanoke Valley coverage area in order to best plan,prepare for,and address the effects of homelessness. HMIS is a central data storage and reporting function required by HUD and will serve up to 20 agencies that provide services to the homeless population. (Recommendation$11,000 ESG) • Homeless Prevention(Council of Community Services)-CCS will provide short-term financial assistance,housing location, and service coordination services to individuals and families facing imminent homelessness. Financial assistance and case management services will be provided based on individual household need to include assistance with first month's rent,security deposits,rental arrears,assistance in locating housing,and general housing stability service coordination activities.The program will offer financial assistance as a means to preventing homelessness for 21 families in our community.Financial assistance will be paid to landlords and/or utility companies on behalf of clients losing their current permanent housing arrangement,thus preventing homelessness from occurring.

CHP has a vision of pursuing a multi-year revitalization strategy for the neighborhood that could include multifamily in the future and is a well- respected and experienced developer of affordable housing in the southeastern US and particularly the New River Valley of Virginia.The proposed funding does not include property acquisition,as it is anticipated that TAP's land bank funded with the City's ARPA program would provide suitable sites for construction of new housing. Use of CDBG funds for new housing construction is only allowable for an approved Community Based Development Organization(CBDO)that the City would need to establish with CHP. The establishment of a CBDO would be a much needed benefit in BFTA and beyond, as HUD regulations allow CBDO's to perform other eligible services for community and economic development and access Section 108 Loan funds if used. The recent Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) plan developed for BFTA does include establishing a CDBO as a development strategy. The financial structure and model used by Community Housing Partners is also expected to provide$340,000 in Program Income to offset the CDBG funds.

(Recommended:$75,000 CDBG). Restore 1240 Dale Avenue SE(Roanoke Transformations)-This was an application for CDBG funds to complete a privately funded rehabilitation project in BFTA that had already been started by a property owner. Many concerns with the eligible use of CDBG funds with this activity.

Target beneficiary at 50%or less AMI(low to very low income). While transitional housing is a need in the City,the concerns with the request amount($230,000)with no prior experience with CDBG,some questions on program design and lease terms,and the amount of technical assistance required gave the citizen review committee cause to rank the application lower. (Recommended:$0 CDBG) High Costs Units for Lead Paint Abatement in BFTA(City of Roanoke Dept.of Planning,Building&Development)- Lead Safe Roanoke(LSR)is a HUD-funded program implemented by the City of Roanoke and managed underthe HUD Community Resources division of Planning,Building&Development Department.The program's goal isto reduce lead poisoning in children by stabilizing lead based paint hazards found in rental and single-family homes built in the City of Roanoke prior to 1978.

(Recommended:$30,000) Future Housing Development Utilizing HOME-ARP Funds(City of Roanoke Dept.of Planning,Building&Development)-In April 2021, the City received notice from HUD of an award of funds to the HOME Investment Partnership Program from the American Rescue Plan Act. Total funds to be awarded are $2,449,336, but only 5% are available for administration and planning until the City submits an allocation plan to HUD. Consulting services are being procured to begin developing this plan to determine priorities from eligible housing activities. HOME-ARP funds can be used for four (4) eligible activities: the production and preservation of affordable housing;tenant-based rental assistance;supportive services including homeless prevention services and housing counseling;and the purchase or development of non-congregate shelter for individuals or families experiencing homelessness. We are required to include the HOME-ARP funding in our 2022 Annual Plan,although itis not anticipated that we will begin the application process and program non-administrative funds until the FY 23-24 program year. HOME-ARP funds are not required to be fully expended until September 30,2030. (Recommended:$2,326,869 HOME- ARP) PUBLIC SERVICES • 2022 Apple Ridge Farm Academic Summer Camp(Apple Ridge Farm,Inc.) -Apple Ridge seeksfunding scholarships for 20 low-income youth to attend Apple Ridge Farms Academic Summer Camp.The project will be the embellishment of the self- esteem,team building,and social emotional learning programs at Apple Ridge's summer camp.Apple Ridge will use project- based and social/emotional learning techniques to teach science, reading, writing, art, music, swimming, gardening, team building, mindfulness, and outdoor adventure. Campers take field trips to universities to introduce them to college life. (Recommended:$20,000 CDBG.) • Scout Reach(Blue Ridge Mountain Council—BoV Scouts of America)-The Scout Reach program provides adult leadefship, pays registration fees,offers scholarships to attend activities,program supplies,and transportation.The Scouting program is designed to develop leadership skills,increase a sense of community,provide positive adult role models,and build confidence in youth.Application failed to meet basic eligibility for funding. (Recommended:$0 CDBG) • Court Appointed Special Advocates (Children's Trust) - The CASA program is requesting CDBG funds to offer further programming for children in foster care as well as to support children who are at risk of foster care placement.CASA's program offers an objective advocate for a child who has experienced abuse and neglect.CASA staff and volunteers work with children whose cases have been assigned by a judge.CASA staff recruit,train and supervise volunteers.New volunteers complete 30 hours of training priorto serving as an Advocate and then 12 hours of continuing education annually.(Recommended$38,501 CDBG) • Children's Advocacy CenterProgram(Children's Trust)-The Children's Advocacy Center(CAC)coordinates a community response to child abuse bringing together the services a child's needs during the investigation and prosecution of cases,and ensures that children get the help he/she needs to heal physically and mentally.Services offered through the CAC include: Forensic interviewing services,where an abused child often discloses his/her experiences to specially trained staff who conduct developmentally appropriate, legally sound interviews with children. Family advocacy services are also provided by Family Advocate staff at the CAC.The family advocate meets with the child's caregiver to answer any questions and conducts a needs assessment to make necessary referrals.This assessment can include basic needs such as food,clothing,shelter,or mental health needs.The advocate continues to assist the non-offending caregiver with crisis intervention and referrals throughout the investigation and prosecution. (Recommended$30,960 CDBG.) • Community Support Specialist for Brain Iniuries—(Brain Iniury Services of SW Virginia) BISSWVA Community Support Specialists are utilized to develop techniques that will help survivors of brain injury overcome challenges from their injury associated with everyday living and increase independent living and can help with a wide variety of things including leaming how to get up on time,use public transit,manage money,stay organized,and other life skills.Application was lacking detail on how CDBG funds would apply to staff costs. As no one was currently serving in that position,it was not possible to assess the credentials of the person in this role and no plan on ensuring only Roanoke City clients were served with these funds. (Recommendation:$0 CDBG) • Housing Stabilization for Families in Need(Council of Community Services)-The project will provide homeless prevention services to households in the City of Roanoke.Services include payment of security deposits,rent,and utility deposits for 30 households. All payments are made directly to the landlord or utility company. Records documenting the eligibility and provision of services are maintained by the Council of Community Services(CCS).The Director of Homeless Services has oversight of the program to ensure compliance with regulations.The Director will provide supervision to the Housing Coordinator.Staff will serve as primary caseworker for the program.Staff will accept applications and perform eligibility determinations. Referrals will be made to community resources to assist the family in achieving long term stability.Staff will work with each family to develop an individualized housing stability plan with mutually identified goals and action steps. (Recommended$75,000 CDBG) • LSR Outreach&Education Expansion(City of Roanoke Dept.of Planning,Building&Development)-Lead Safe Roanoke (LSR) is a HUD-funded program implemented by the City of Roanoke. The program's goal is to reduce lead poisoning in children by stabilizing lead based paint hazards found in rental and single-family homes built in the City of Roanoke prior to 1978.Eligible applicants receive comprehensive services to identify and stabilize deteriorating lead-based paint hazards in their home and/or rental units. By funding this expansion, families would be protected in the short term from lead poisoning by having the tools needed to keep their family safe with cleaning while leveraging LSR's current funding to develop long term solutions like window replacement and fresh paint. Using additional CDBG funding, Lead Safe Roanoke would expand outreach and education services to families exiting homelessness and entering into a rental housing unit.LSR would collaborate with housing service providers to make a Welcome Home basket available to the family.The basketwould include LSR program information and cleaning supplies such as mops,buckets,paper towels,sponges,etc.with instructions on how to clean lead safe.Each household would receive a standard Welcome Home basket with the option to personalize add on items such as smoke/carbon monoxide detectors,fire extinguishers,and thumb latch deadbolts depending on the health and safety needs of the unit. A Healthy Home Guide will be provided to review home safety, such as how and when to check smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and available community resources. Families utilizing public funding to move into rental housing are required to have a lead screen performed by the housing service provider.This requirement falls under another HUD office and does not connect with LSR.However,greater assistance is needed by housing service providersto complete the screening than is provided. Under the LSR Outreach and Education expansion, LSR staff would provide lead education and technical assistance with the provider to ensure the requirement is met,but ultimately that the family is safe from lead in their new home.If the screen fails,LSR will assist the family and property owner in applying to Lead Safe Roanoke to receive a full lead inspection and risk inspection and lead hazard reduction services.This would be an expansion of a current program offered by LSR,but targeted for formerly homeless families. While this was a well devised and detailed plan,this program was not recommended for funding from CDBG,largely due to revenue constraints. (Recommended:$0) Building Legacies Overcoming Challenges(BLOC) Counselling (Family Service of Roanoke Valley) -FSRV will offer mental health services, counseling and support to residents of the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority sites; Lansdowne,Hunt Manor,Melrose Towers,Villages of Lincoln,Jamestown Place,Morningside Manor,Bluestone,and/or Indian Village.The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in reported mental health issues nationwide.The traumas experienced in the last two years due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented and well documented.Within these RRHA neighborhoods it is advantageous to have embedded Mental Health Professionals to build trust,credibility and decrease the barriers to access care including childcare and transportation.The counseling services FSRV provides,using trauma informed practices,will help residents build resiliency and address depression/anxiety needs that have ballooned since March,2020. The application makes a strong case that the program addresses the required criteria for use of CDBG-CV funds.(Recommended: $65,000 CDBG-CV) Emergency Eviction Relief Program(Total Action for Progress)-TAP is requesting funding to provide mortgage,utility,or rent assistance(direct payments)on behalf of families(0-80%AMI)at risk of homelessness because of past-due payments.Partners include the local Continuum of Care (Central Intake)and the Financial Empowerment Center.All families will be offered the services of the FEC to help them budget for future housing and utility costs.Families assisted would have to be either 1)at risk of homelessness because of foreclosure or eviction,or 2)risk violating their leases and losing their housing because of utility shutoffs.This is an existing program which has been provided both CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funds since 2020. The eviction moratorium currently in place in Virginia is set to expire in June 2022.The application as written provides subsistence payments to families at 80%or less of AMI.In the event that this application is recommended for funding at a lower amount,HCR may ask TAP to direct these funds to 50% or less AMI to use limited resources to the most susceptible to homelessness. (Recommended:$215,000 CDBG-CV) Emergency Service Program/Pathway for Youth(Presbyterian Community Center)-Emergency Services offered by PCC is a homelessness prevention program that provides food and financial assistance to eligible families and individuals facing crisis situations. PCC's Emergency Services program will provide such eligible services to households,including:payment of rent, mortgage,and utility bills in cases where a temporary financial shortage has created the threat of eviction or cut-off of essential services; payment for non-narcotic prescription medications and other medical expenses which are not covered by public or private insurance or are otherwise unaffordable to the patient;referrals to other available resources and programs provided by Family Service of Roanoke Valley,Roanoke Area Ministries,Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare,and Rescue Mission. PCC also offers a long-standing child care/education program called Pathway for Youth. As other funding is earmarked for rent relief and homeless prevention, HCR staff has reached out to PCC to instead provide CDBG funds for the expansion of the child care program,which is a need for families in BFTA.

Funds to be matched by City General Funds(Recommended$ 100,000 CDBG) • Belmont Branch Library Accessibility Renovations(City of Roanoke Libraries)-Funds were requested to augment a larger renovation of the Belmont Branch Public Library to improve handicapped accessibility. While CDBG funds are normally restricted for improvements or maintenance to public buildings other than to remove architectural barriers for handicapped access. Since the project was already underway, a new bidding process would have been required and Davis-Bacon requirements would have likely meant cost increases to the entire project. (Recommended: $0 CDBG) • Code Enforcement(City of Roanoke Dept of Planning Building &Development) -Funds salaries and fringe benefits of 3 inspectors in established conservation and rehabilitation districts for City enforcement of the building maintenance and other codes to address blighting conditions and improve living standards and housing stability in heavily saturated low-moderate income neighborhoods. (Recommended: $ 176,914 CDBG.) • Neighborhood Development Grant Program(City Manager's Office/Neighborhood Services)-HUD Community Resources will no longer provide CDBG grants to neighborhood organizations in predominantly low-to-mod-income neighborhoods due to the difficulties and requirements of managing federal funds for many small,volunteer based neighborhood groups.The City's general fund has provided resources through Neighborhood Services and Roanoke Neighborhood Advocates to operate a similar program that will have fewer regulatory requirements and can be more easily managed by neighborhood associations. (Recommended:$0 CDBG). RIDE Solutions Better Bus Stops for Neighborhoods(Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission)-RIDE Solutions intends to create and facilitate a working group of Northwest Roanoke communities,Valley Metro,and the City of Roanoke,to select the suitable locations for three new transit shelters (two art bus shelters and one unmodified shelter), under the assumptions that all the work to be conducted within City right-of-way,contracting work is limited to the acquisition of right-of- way excavation permits,and encroachment permits will be coordinated between the City of Roanoke and the Greater Roanoke Transit Company.Where possible and feasible these grant funds will pay for the installation of ADA accessible concrete pads, and reasonable updates to existing sidewalks and curb ramps to facilitate access to the shelter.Bus shelters will be donated by Valley Metro and two of the bus shelters will be customized by a local artist in coordination with the City of Roanoke Arts Commission. (Recommended:$47,762 CDBG) • Land Bank and Property Acquisition for BFTA(Total Action for Progress)-In early 2019,TAP was designated the land bank for the City of Roanoke. As a land bank,TAP's intent is to acquire,hold,and transfer properties within the City boundaries to return any blighted,abandoned,foreclosed,or tax-delinquent property back to its most productive use. This generally means transferring titles to responsible entities that have the experience and capability to rehabilitate and renovate a property for affordable housing or homeownership.TAP requested to use CDBG funds to acquire two properties within the Belmont-Fallon Target Area. HCR policy is to require any property acquired with CDBG funds to have a written agreement in place with a developer of affordable housing within 36 months. The application did not identify specific properties or provide details of any agreements'for future development. (Recommendation:$0 CDBG) • BFTA Street Improvement Project(City of Roanoke Engineering Department)-CDBG funds to set aside for Belmont/Fallon Target Area 9th Street SE Improvement Projectto begin in FY 23-24. FY 22-23 allotted funding will cover costs for design and engineering to expedite the time needed to begin the project. The City typically funds a street improvement project in each target area funded between CDBG and General Fund capital accounts. Past practice has been to do these public improvements at the conclusion of a target area period,but efforts will be made to begin these visible projects earlier in a target area timeline to better encourage private investment during the target area period and beyond. (Recommended: $346,297 CDBG) ADMINISTRATION/PLANNING • HUD Administrative Funds(City of Roanoke Dept.of Planning,Building&Development) The HUD Community Resources (HCR)office is tasked with planning,budgeting,managing,monitoring and reporting on the use of federal funds received from HUD for eligible activities that meet HUD National Objectives.

Once the Plan has been approved by Council,HCR staff develop MOUs and written agreements with non-profit agencies or city departments,provide technical assistance as needed,manage funded programs, monitor for compliance with federal regulations, and report beneficiary information and accomplishments to HUD and the general public. The office is currently staffed by a Community Resources Administrator,2 Community Resource Specialists a City Planner and an Administrative Assistant.

Cobb, Council Member Honorable Stephanie Moon Reynolds, Council Member Honorable Vivian Sanchez Jones, Council Member Honorable Anita J. Price, Council Member Dear Mayor Lea and Members of City Council: Subject: Acceptance of Funding for Drug Prosecutor Background: Federal funding was made available to the Commonwealth of Virginia to be used for the development of several Multi-jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutors statewide. The positions were developed to coordinate prosecutorial efforts among independent jurisdictions, reduce fractional and duplicate prosecutions, enhance the recovery of criminal assets, and utilize federal, state and local resources to assure maximum prosecutorial effectiveness and to provide specialized prosecutorial resources to the regional drug enforcement effort. The Commonwealth's Attorneys of Craig County, Franklin County, Roanoke County, and the Cities of Roanoke and Salem applied on October 9, 1987, to the Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council, the State agency responsible for the administration of the grant money, to fund a Multi-jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutor. City Council accepted the Multi- jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutor Grant in April, 1988, and a full-time Special Drug Prosecutor was hired in July, 1988. Annual re-application for this funding is required. Considerations: On April 15, 1994, funding for the Drug Prosecutor's Office was transferred from the Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council to the Compensation Board. The Compensation Board approved funding for the Drug Prosecutor in the amount of $120,146 effective July 1 , 2022, and funding will continue through June 30, 2023. A local match is required. The local match is $76,290 for a total funding of $196,436. Funding for the local share is available in the General Fund - Transfer to Grant Fund (account number 01 -250-9310-9535) and City Manager Contingency (01 -300-9410-2199). Recommended Action: Authorize the application for the Grant and accept funding from the Commonwealth of Virginia Compensation Board in the amount of $120,146 with the City providing local match funding in the amount of $76,290. Authorize the City Manager to execute the requisite documents to obtain the funding from the Compensation Board. All such documents shall be reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish revenue estimates for $120,146 in state grant funds and $76,290 in local match, to transfer local match funding from the General Fund Transfer to Grant Fund account, and to appropriate funding totaling $196,436 per attachment 1 into accounts to be established by the Director of Finance.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicaid Accelerator Program, an estimated 7.37 million I/DD individuals (approximately 22 per 1 ,000 of the population) were living in the United States (US) as of 2016. Of those individuals, an estimated 75% live with their parents or other family members while less than 20% live alone or with a roommate. Nationwide, there are nearly one million households in which an adult with I/DD is living with a caregiver 60 years of age or older, 10 percent of which are 75 or older. "City Plan 2040" states that the City desires to be "a city that considers equity in each of its policies and provides opportunity for all, regardless of background." Two additional goals of the City, as cited in the plan are to (1 ) develop policies for complete neighborhoods focused on walkable and bikeable access to desitnations for daily needs of people of all ages and abilities, and to (2) develop policies for housing-focused on meeting the future needs of a growing and diverse population." In Virginia, the average rent of a one-bedroom apartment is 139% higher than the average monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Due to income limitations and continued underfunding of programs for people with physical and/or sensory disabilities, extremely low to low-income individuals with disabilities remain in pressing need of financial assistance to enable them to be independent within their own homes and the community. The Virginia Housing Development Authority has selected the City for a $50,000 Community Impact Grant Award. The City will retain a consultant with the grant funds and will work with a steering committee consisting of caregivers from the I/DD community to examine ways to integrate accessible housing into the City by: (1 ) developing a community design concept that gives adults with I/DD the ability to live independently (or take steps to live independently), (2) exploring complimentary amenities in the community, and (3) developing a draft cottage ordinance to be considered by City Council. Considerations: City Council action is needed to accept the 2022-23 VHDA Community Impact Grant award. The planning grant total is $50,000 and will include technical assistance. The grant does not require a match. Recommended Action: Adopt the attached Resolution to accept the grant funding; adopt the attached Budget Ordinance to establish a revenue estimate in the Grant fund of $50,000 from VHDA, and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute any required grant agreements or documents, such documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. - - ------ - ------------ obe t S.
