Box 1366 Roanoke, VA 24007 Dear DHR BIPOC Grant Administrator: On behalf of the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation, I am writing to express our strong support for the Christiansburg Institute's Black& Indiginous People of Color (BIPOCO grant application for the renovation of Roanoke's Washington Park Historic Caretaker's Cottage in partnership with the Friends of Washington Park. This Christiansburg Institute project will assist the Friends of Washingotn Park in protecting and supporting the stabilization and renovation of this historic structure that in turn will help strenthgen the historically underserved and underrepresented communities by helping to save their associated cultural and historical sites We would like to highlight the urgent need for the stabilization and restoration of this property as the cottage was added to our local Endangered Sites list in 2024 and was also listed in Preservation Virginia's Most Endangered Sites list in 2024. When it became evident the cottage was going to be demolished, Roanoke residents Cathy Carter,Gregory Hunt, and others came together to form the group, Friends of Washington Park,to save this important piece of Roanoke's Black history."This is Roanoke history and we want to preserve it,"said Carter."This particular landmark is one of the last and the few that are still here. And by preserving this building you are also going to preserve historical facts," said Hunt. The ca. 1837 Caretaker's House represents a significant part of Roanoke's long and complex history. Although built by white settlers in the mid-1800s, it became central to Roanoke's Black community when it was converted to a park caretaker's house in the 1920s as part of the creation of Washington Park.As noted by Friends of Washington Park,"Black caretakers of this home and the park endured throughout the Jim Crow era,providing support to local youth and families, and eventually bore witness to one of Roanoke's most significant civil rights campaigns—the successful effort led by Rev. R.R. Wilkinson to close an uncovered city trash dump and move it out of the city's Black neighborhood." The land became a public park for the African American community during the Jim Crow era of segregation. During this time,the brick house served for approximately 50 years as the Washington Park Caretaker's House. With African American attractions such as Dreamland and the Royal Gardens,the park was a gathering place for Black people throughout southwest Virginia during this time of segregated public spaces as they came to swim, dance, picnic,and play recreational sports or watch National Negro League baseball games. Page I of 2 Locally,the park gave black youth in the neighborhood a place to hang out with their friends,and the caretakers who lived in the house and took care of the park, also served as mentors to them. The house is both architecturally and historically significant as rare surviving tangible evidence of the lives of Roanoke's earliest settlers,as well as the vibrant African American community of Roanoke during the years of legalized and de facto segregation. The Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation knows of no other building in Roanoke that bridges these two deeply segregated communities in such a unique way. It represents the transition of this area from initial settlement by early slaveholders to a recreational gathering spot. The critical need to repair the structure cannot be overstated. The cottage has suffered from years of neglect and deterioration, which threatens its structural integrity and historical significance. Preserving this building would not only help preserve our local African American heritage but also provide a space for educational programs and community engagements that honor the legacy of those who have contributed to Roanoke's vibrant African American history. The Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation is excited about the recent improvements made to Washington Park and believe that the historic Washington Park Caretaker's House is an important amenity to the park and the surrounding community.Please help support the grass roots efforts of Friends of Washington Park celebrate the park's history by awarding Christiansburg Institute's requested grant funding for this project. ly, ifel Robert A.

Background: The subject property at 501 Salem was originally developed as a bakery circa 1928. In the 1950s, its operations were expanded to include a delivery fleet wing on the western edge of the property. A bakery business operated on the • site until its closure in 1985. In the years that followed, a vehicle repair business occupied the building until the mid-1990s. The building has remained vacant ever since. 2 The property was rezoned to D, Downtown, with conditions in 2007 to support the redevelopment of the building into multi-unit dwellings. However, due to economic conditions, the project proved infeasible, and the property has remained vacant. Over the past approximately 30 years of its vacancy, the property has received more than 20 code enforcement violations for issues such as graffiti, weeds and trash, unsafe structural conditions, and poor building maintenance. These types of violations are common with long-vacant structures and can contribute to the deterioration of neighborhood character and safety. The-building is designated as a contributing structure to the Salem Avenue/Roanoke Automotive Commercial District, which is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. This designation makes the property eligible for historic tax credits for restoration. The property is also located within the City's Enterprise Zone 1 A, established through the Virginia Enterprise Zone program. This initiative is a state-local partnership that encourages job creation and private investment. This designation could also provide for additional financial support of the project, depending on the resulting development. Proposed Use/Development: The applicant intends to complete a historic renovation of the building resulting in 33 apartments, 2,600 square feet of commercial space, and both on and off- street parking. However, the proffered conditions imposed on the property in 2007 do not align with the applicant's concept plan for the property. Most notably, the location of the fence does not conform with the proposed plan. The standards of the zoning code would provide sufficient screening of the parking area that achieves the intent of this condition. Additionally, the concept plan referenced in the third condition no longer reflects the existing conditions on the site. Therefore, the applicant is requesting to repeal all of the existing proffered conditions. Proffered Condition Requested to be Repealed: The applicant requests that the following proffered conditions be repealed as they pertain(s) to Official Tax Number 1 1 1 1 31 5. 1 . The development shall not have more than 40 residential units. 2. A fence of brick and.metal construction shall be erected around the surface parking lot at the corner of 5th Street and Norfolk Avenue, S.W. (Official Tax No. 1 1 1131 5), as shown on the Concept Plan prepared by Hill Studio, dated September 5, 2007. 3. The four existing buildings as identified as "Existing Building I "Existing Building 2", "Existing Building 3", and "Existing Building 4" on the Concept 3 Plan prepared by Hill Studio, dated September 5, 2007 shall be retained with the exception of those portions of Building 1 and Building 2 delineated on the Concept Plan as "structure to be removed". Considerations: Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses: The property is bordered by 5th Street SW to the east, Norfolk Avenue SW to the north, and Salem Avenue SW to the south. The revitalization of this site would be a significant mixed-use project west of 5th Street SW along Salem Avenue. Zoning District Land Use North I-1 : Light Industrial Manufacturing, concrete plant, and railroad South I-1 : Light Industrial Automotive sales and automotive repair East D: Downtown Office, multi-unit dwellings, microbreweries, retail, eating and drinking establishments West I-1 : Light Industrial Indoor recreation, eating and drinking establishments, supply pantry, and industrial uses beyond The future land use plan from the City Plan 2040 designates this area for. industrial use. Since the 2007 rezoning, the surrounding area has transitioned from an industrial landscape into a vibrant, downtown neighborhood. East of 5th Street SW, the 400 block of Salem Avenue features over 170 apartments, a variety of dining and drinking establishments, commercial users, and serves as the venue for multiple annual street festivals. The west side of 5th Street SW remains a mix of industrial and commercial uses. The most notable industrial user in the immediate area is Chandler Concrete, a concrete plant and supply company. The company's primary access point is from Norfolk Avenue SW, which runs along the northern edge of the subject property. In general, the area west of 5th Street has experienced smaller-scale redevelopment projects that are gradually shifting the area from industrial to commercial and residential uses. Applicability/Appropriateness of Proposed Zoning District: The purpose of the D District is to permit a wide variety of uses and relatively intense development in the downtown, consistent with historic development patterns, in a manner that protects and enhances the business and cultural 4 center of the City and region. Toward that end, the Downtown District is intended to accomplish the following: (1) Facilitate pedestrian ways and create a convenient and harmonious development of buildings, streets, and open space; (2) Protect and enhance the public interest in downtown as a source of economic vitality, the retention and creation of jobs, and tax revenue; (3) Protect existing investment in downtown, to protect against the demolition of downtown's historic buildings, to promote activity on public streets, and to protect amenities provided through public investment; and (4) Provide fora mix of high density residential, commercial, retail, govern- ment services, entertainment and cultural facilities, and live/work space. The property is already developed in a manner that is compatible with the Downtown Zoning District. The repeal of the proffered conditions would allow for more flexible use of the space, which can promote activity and reinvestment. Although the applicant has indicated that the intended use of the buildings is for mixed use with commercial space and multi-unit dwellings, the full scope of downtown development would be permitted including approximately eighty (80) by-right uses and complete redevelopment of the parcel. Concept plans are not binding but are typically recommended to reflect the e requirements of the zoning code. The concept plan submitted with the application shows an entrance within 40 feet of an intersection. Although the code requires 40 feet between these-elements, the Zoning Administrator is in support of allowing a reduced distance between the entrance and intersection that meets the safety intent of the code since this is a-downtown environment with slower speeds and high pedestrian activity. Overall, the request to repeal proffered conditions allows more flexibility to meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance with no changes to the underlying district and no changes to the permitted uses. Availability of Other Property: - - - This property would be a significant project expanding the downtown area to the west of 5th Street SW along Salem Avenue. The downtown area to the east is fully developed and thriving. The repeal of proffered conditions facilitates the development and revitalization of this property in a manner that is in keeping with the development pattern to the east of 5th Street SW and vision in the 2017 Downtown Plan. 5 Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: The City Plan 2040, Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan, and 2017 Downtown Plan serve as guidance for this property. The area surrounding this property is in a state of transition from industrial users to commercial and residential users. In the 2017 Downtown plan, the "Greater Downtown Area" extends west of downtown to 8' Street with specific note of downtown related uses along Salem Ave SW and Campbell Ave SW. Policy/Action .

Some Commissioners expressed concern about removing the limit on the number of units and the size of the resulting units. Generally, Commissioners expressed support of the area west of 5th Street SW transitioning from industrial to urban, mixed-use development. Interdepartmental Comments: General comments were provided from the Fire department, and the Planning Building and Development department related to: fire code standards, building and zoning requirements, and the permitting process. The Planning Building and Development department noted that the concept plan shown in the application does not meet zoning requirements and additional review and design will need to be completed during the comprehensive development plan review process. Subsequently, the applicant submitted the following information regarding safety of the proposed parking entrance/exit in the concept plan in the Original Application: The number of access points have been reduced to one. There are two existing curb cuts and proposed configuration reduces the number of conflict points. 1 . The proposed access point is a very low volume entrance based on the number of spaces it is serving and the proposed residential use. 2. The side street of Norfolk Avenue has a stop condition in both the Westbound and Eastbound directions. 3. There is adequate sight distance for vehicles on 5th Street SW for access into and out of the small parking area. 4. This small parking area is located on the edge or within the urban core of downtown and such, the existing access point/proposed access point is less than 125' from the signalized intersection of Salem Avenue SW and 5th Street SW. 5. This project also improves the pedestrian accommodations within the public right of way by updating the ADA access across the proposed entrance and provides in fill with the removal of the other. The Zoning Administrator, in conversation with the Transportation Department, reviewed the information and determined that while the proposed entrance is less than the 40ft distance between a driveway entrance/exit and a street intersection, the overall aspects and design of the proposed entrance will create vehicle maneuvering that meets the safety intent of the code section to reduce traffic conflicts. 7 Public Comments: No comments received to date. Public Hearing: No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. During the Planning Commission discussion, staff updated Commissioners on the Zoning. Administrators determination on zoning conformity for entrance location i.n the concept plan. Chair Martin expressed support of the project and excitement of the applicant's creativity in expanding downtown uses_ in this area. Conclusions and Recommendations: The principal consideration is whether the proposed repeal of proffered conditions is consistent with City's Comprehensive Plan, Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan, 2017 Downtown Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance. The repeal of proffered conditions will allow the property to be used in a way that allows for expansion of downtown users to the west and continued revitalization of that area. The Planning Commission supports the proposed zoning amendment request and recommends approval. FrawI C. Mart1,1 , ill Frank C.

EXHIBIT A EXHIBITA: Narrative EXHIBIT A Sunlight Bakery Building—Project Narrative: Introduction: Sunlight Bakery Building LLC (Owner/Applicant) is requesting to repeal proffered conditions at 501 Salem Avenue ("Subject Property"), Roanoke VA for a mixed-use development on the subject parcel. Existing Tax Parcel and Zoning Summary: Tax Parcel: 1111315 Existing Zoning: D- Downtown with Conditions Proposed Zoning: D-Downtown, - Developer Background: Sunlight Bakery Building, LLC was formed in 2024 for the purpose of purchasing and developing the subject property. The company president is William (Bill) H. Chapman,Jr., an experienced real estate developer with over$45 million in award winning, adaptive- reuse projects in downtown Roanoke. Past mixed-use projects include over 300 residential and commercial units at The Fulton Motor Lofts at 400 Salem Avenue SW, The Lofts at West Station I and II at 357 and 403 Salem Avenue SW,The 416 MicroFarms at 416 Salem Avenue SW, Parkway 301 at 301 1st Street SW,The Owl Lofts at 120 Luck Avenue SW, and The Edge Lofts at 351 Campbell Avenue SW. Commercial tenants include Beamer's 25, Big Lick Brewing Co,Tuco's Taqueria Garaje, Fortunato, Luna Innovations,the Honorable Sen. Mark R.Warner,Jaybird Tavern and The Quarters, a coworking concept created and owned by the applicant. Chapman's experience in the Roanoke market dates to nearly 20 years. - Building History: - The Subject Property consists of two attached buildings at the corner of Fifth and Salem, a two-story and one-story totaling 30,000 square feet. The two-story building("Bakery Building") is onthe corner and opened in 1928 to much fanfare as the original Roanoke - Sunlight Bakery. Grand opening advertisements in the Roanoke Times declared,"In the sky, beckoning beams of light will guide you to Roanoke's greatest open house at the- famous Roanoke Sunlight Bakery." The bakery serviced local businesses and was known for its,"Mother's Bread, Pies&Cakes." An adjacent one-story, barrel-roofed building ("Delivery Fleet Building")shows up on the 1951 Sanborn map as a garage for 26 trucks,- likely the delivery fleet for the bakery. Two additional commercial buildings were added to the west side of the Delivery Fleet Building after 1951, addressed as 513 and 521 Salem Avenue. - EXHIBIT A Locally,the complex is best remembered as the Kroger Bakery,the last bakery to occupy the buildings until it shuttered in 1985. A vehicle repair shop took over the complex until the mid-1990's. It has been vacant ever since and is in poor condition. Ordinances: In 2007, a developer purchased the complex with plans for an adaptive re-use project with condominiums.The property was rezoned to D-Downtown with three proffered conditions (Ordinance 37957-1 1 1 907). They were: 1. The development shall not have more than 40 residential units. 2. A fence of brick and metal construction shall be erected around the surface parking lot at the corner of 5th Street and Norfolk Avenue,S.W. (Official Tax No. 1111315), as shown on the Concept Plan prepared by Hill Studio, dated September 5, 2007. 3. The four existing buildings as identified as"Existing Building 1","Existing Building 2", "Existing Building 3", and"Existing Building 4"on the Concept Plan prepared by Hill Studio, dated September 5, 2007 shall be retained with the exception of those portions of Building 1 and Building 2 delineated on the Concept Plan as"structure to be removed". The project never came to fruition and was sold to another developer. In 2011,,the complex was rezoned again, converting the buildings currently addressed as 513 and 521 Salem Avenue to I-1 zoning and removing the proffered conditions. (Ordinance 39217-091911). The proffered conditions and D Zoning remain in place for the Subject Property. The buildings at 513 and 521 Salem were eventually subdivided from the complex and sold. Development Plan—Sunlight Bakery Lofts: The development plan for the Subject Property is an adaptive re-use of the original Roanoke Sunlight Bakery and Delivery Fleet Building into 33 apartments, 2,600 square feet of commercial space and 15 off-street parking spaces. The Subject Property sits on a prominent street corner in the Salem Avenue/Roanoke Automotive Commercial Historic District and marks the district's first significant investment west of 5t"Street. The Subject Property is currently in a state of neglect after nearly 30 years of vacancy,with a deteriorating roof,walls and floors. The developer has begun the process to qualify for federal and state historic tax credits and has secured Part 1 Approvals. The project will abide by the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. It will include new windows and storefronts in all original historic openings in the style of the original windows and garage doors. Significant structural improvements, a new roof, refinished original floors, exposed masonry walls and EXHIBIT A all new systems will be installed. Apartments will be a mix of one-and two-bedroom units with sustainable features such as Energy Star appliances and fixtures, FSC certified custom cabinetry, Richlite countertops from recycled material, and dual flush toilets among others. Units on the back half of the Delivery Fleet Building have been designed with outdoor patios. A parking lot for 15 vehicles will be introduced in the rear corner of the property at 5th Street and Norfolk Avenue. The project is expected to begin within six months and be completed by early 3Q in 2026. Repealing Proffered Conditions The developer is requesting to repeal the three proffered conditions due to the neighborhood's transformation to mixed-use over the last two decades. What was once an industrial landscape has evolved into one of downtown's most vibrant, live-work-play neighborhoods. On the 400 block of Salem Avenue alone, over 170 apartments,two breweries,two restaurants,food trucks, live music, a gaming center and annual street festivals have significantly changed the area's dynamics since the 2007 rezoning. In addition,the development plan differs from the 2007 plan. The earlier plan called for a smaller parking area with six spaces and a fence. The current plan calls for 15 parking spaces in a larger parking lot. While zoning required fencing will be incorporated into the project, it will not be in the same location as the previous plan due to the lot's increased size and configuration. The 2007 developer's plan called for keeping one of three non-original additions near the rear of the Fleet Delivery Building and was incorporated into'a proffered condition. The addition has been removed by the previous owner due to structural instability. Its removal has allowed two original pilasters to become exterior features again, as they were when the Delivery Fleet Building was constructed.The pilasters are a prominent design element with both the Fleet Delivery and Bakery Buildings. Master Plan and Downtown Plan: The development plan dovetails with City Plan 2040 and Downtown Plan 2017: • "Well-designed historic buildings should be preserved and should be used to inform new development." --City Plan 2040. • "Preserving and reusing a historic building also preserves and reuses the embodied energy of the building. The embodied energy of a building includes all the energy used to grow, harvest, manufacture, and transport any material used in the building as well as energy used for service and labor. Using pre-existing materials is the most sustainable method of development." --City Plan 2040. EXHIBIT A • One of six goals in the Downtown Plan 2017: Expand Downtown. "Revitalization projects along Salem Avenue and Campbell Avenue have helped expand downtown's footprint west and created new opportunities for future development. The significance and success of these projects have opened the door for more adaptive reuse and development to the west of downtown." --Downtown Plan 2017. • "...it seems imperative as Downtown Roanoke expands west to allowa broader array of uses in these buildings, such as mixed use, retail, and residential."-Downtown Plan 2017. -END- • EXHIBIT B METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTION CITY OF ROANOKE TAX ID 1111315 BEGINNING AT A POINT ON THE NORTH LINE OF SALEM AVENUE SW,SAID POINT BEING A COMMON CORNER BETWEEN TAX ID 1111315 AND TAX ID 1111317; THENCE DEPARTING THE NORTH LINE OF SALEM AVENUE SW,AND RUNNING WITH THE COMMON LINE OF TAX ID 1111315 AND TAX ID 1111317, N06°34'45"E 199.22 FEET TO A POINT ON THE SOUTH LINE OF NORFOLK AVENUE SW; THENCE ALONG AND FOLLOWING THE SOUTH LINE OF NORFOLK AVENUE SW,THE FOLLOWING COURSES AND DISTANCES:574°03'00"E 77.97 FEET TO A POINT;THENCE 514°54'15"W 4.93 FEET TO A POINT;THENCE S75°05'45"E 47.12 FEET TO A POINT;THENCE ALONG A CURVE TO THE RIGHT HAVING A RADIUS OF 27.50 FEET,A LENGTH OF 39.06 FEET,AND A CHORD BEARING AND DISTANCE OF S34°23'50"E 35.86 FEET TO A POINT ON THE WEST LINE OF 5TH STREET SW.

The applicant is planning a maximum of forty (40).condominium units of varying size, each with assigned parking located underground, within converted loading bays or on surface lots located to the side and rear of the principal buildings. These buildings have been vacant for approximately ten (10) years according to the applicant. All four buildings are contributing structures to the Salem Avenue/Roanoke Automotive Commercial Historic District which is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.

South I-1, Light Motor vehicle sales and service establishment, used • Industrial (Valley Motor Company).and vacant commercial buildings. East D, Downtown Motor vehicle repair or service establishment (Hannabass & Rowe Auto Body). West I-1, Light Vacant commercial building (used for parking of cement Industrial trucks by Chandler Concrete). Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance: The purpose of the Downtown District is to facilitate pedestrian ways, encourage economic vitality, protect historic buildings, promote activity and provide space for a variety of high density uses. Rezoning the subject properties with limited • conditions allows for a flexible use of the space that will.promote activity and reinvestment. Even though the applicant has stated the intended use of the • buildings is multifamily, an approximate total of sixty (60) by-right uses would be available. Despite the fact that this is a slightly smaller number than that permitted in the 1-1 District, the uses allowed would be better suited for the configuration of the existing structures and surrounding street system. All components of the development including dimensional standards, parking, lighting, landscaping, buffer yards and signage will be required to meet the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance during the comprehensive plan review process. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neighborhood Plan: Roanoke is a city of neighborhoods, each containing areas to live, work, shop and play. Downtown is often characterized as Roanoke's premier urban village. However, until recently, one of the major components of a village was lacking — housing. Roanoke has seen increased investment in properties for residential purposes west of Market Square. This trend is giving new life to historic • structures, encouraging multimodal transportation and improving safety due to activity on the streets at all hours of the day. The City's Comprehensive Plan, Vision 2001-2020, and the Jefferson Center Initiative of the Outlook Roanoke • • Members of City Council Page 5 • November 19, 2007 Update encourages the inclusion of living space into Downtown through the adaptive reuse of vacant or underutilized industrial buildings. The West End Neighborhood is ripe for this type of adaptive reuse. Many of its industrial buildings are quickly deteriorating, earning it a 'Conservation Area' designation by the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority. Reinvestment in this area of the City is critical to the success of Downtown and the preservation of a historically significant neighborhood. However, it is unlikely that industries will ever fully return to this area. The Neighborhood Plan even states that "the amount of land zoned for industrial use in the area is sufficient and possibly even unnecessary in a few transitional areas." Therefore, rezoning the subject properties to Downtown District is a necessary step in this neighborhood's revitalization. The following policies of Vision 2001-2020 are relevant in the consideration of this application: • • NH P4. Downtown Neighborhood. Downtown will be developed as Roanoke's premier urban village with a mix of high-density residential, commercial, retail uses and live/work space. • EC P6. Cultural and historic resources. Roanoke will support, develop, and promote its cultural resources. Roanoke will identify, preserve, and protect its historic districts, landmark features, historic structures, and archaeological sites. • ED P3. Downtown. Downtown will continue to serve as the region's central business district with opportunities for downtown living, office space, retail, and cultural and entertainment attractions. The following policies of the Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan are relevant in the consideration of this application: • Residential Development Policies a. Home Ownership: Encourage more home ownership in the neighborhood. b. Diversity of Housing Options: Hurt Park, Mountain View and West End should.have a balance of single and multifamily housing. Given the current housing stock, development of more multifamily low- income housing should be discouraged. • Economic Development Policies a. Connectivity:The neighborhood should connect seamlessly to its surrounding areas and complement them. Development of the Jefferson Center/West End area should be done in accordance with the Outlook Roanoke (Downtown) and Old Southwest Neighborhood Plans.

City Department Comments: The City's Manager of Transportation had the following comments on the subject application: 1. Curb, gutter and sidewalk will have to be installed along Salem Avenue S.W., 5th Street S.W. and Norfolk Avenue S.W. where existing infrastructure is insufficient or where an existing curb cut will no longer be in use. 2. A sidewalk measuring three (3)feet in width can be accommodated along Norfolk Avenue S.W. from 5th Street S.W. to the western end of Building No. 2, leaving twenty-one (21)feet of asphalt. Past this point, there is sufficient room to construct a five (5) foot sidewalk. 3. The dumpster as shown on the Concept Plan must be relocated. In its current location, trucks would have to block the right-of-way to service the dumpster. ` Members of City Council Page 7 November 19, 2007 The applicant will be required to address these items during the comprehensive site plan review. Public Comments: Staff has not received any public comment on this application. Planning Commission Public Hearing: During the-Planning Commission's public hearing on October 19, 2007, the following issues were discussed: 1. The Planning Commission inquired about opportunities for greenspace or landscaping in the project. The applicant replied that landscaping was extremely important to the project and a landscaping plan was being developed. 2. The Planning Commission stated that this was an opportunity for streetscape improvements and for City Traffic and Planning Divisions to be proactive in building a space for street trees since changes in the public right-of-way would be required. 3. Mr. Frank Caldwell, the manager for Chandler Concrete located at 614 Norfolk Avenue, appeared before the Commission and said that he managed the concrete company that adjoined the site in question. Chandler Concrete operates a ready mix concrete plant facility on Norfolk Avenue, including a parcel immediately adjacent to the applicant's ;properties. He said that if the property was rezoned, there would be a residential use right in the middle of an industrial area and expressed concern that there could be a future noise ordinance that would not allow him to run his business at certain hours (Chandler Concrete currently operates up to 24-hours per day). Mr. Caldwell also stated that he would not want to see the width of Norfolk Avenue decreased because of sidewalks and landscaping. He said it was a public safety and liability issue with his large trucks and other traffic in the area. He said there was a potential for accidents if the road was narrowed. The Commission- advised Mr. Caldwell to address Council with his concern. .

Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, SW Roanoke,Virginia 24011 RE: 501 and 521 Salem Avenue,Roanoke,Virginia Tax#s 1111305/1111307/1111312/1111315 Conditional Rezoning Application Applicant's Report Honorable Mayor C.Nelson Harris and Members of City Council: The above referenced property consists of four buildings,approximately 50,000 square feet, 1.7 acres and is known by most Roanokers as the Kroger Bakery on the corner of 5th and Salem Avenue. This property has not been in use or occupied for well over ten years. • The purpose of this conditional re-zoning request is to be able to convert the existing buildings into a maximum of 40 luxury condominiums,varying in size, each unique in character and lay-out. Each unit will have private and/or assigned parking. We feel this request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan,the rejuvenation of this part of downtown will be to the public's benefit, since most of the neighboring properties are retail or service oriented. On the attached(Exhibit 3)take note that the buildings have been numbered 1 through 4,to make reference explanations easier to follow. The two-story building on the corner of 5th and Salem Avenue is Building 1;the next building,with the round roof on Salem Avenue is Building 2; followed by a square addition,on Salem Avenue—Building 3 and the last square addition on Salem Avenue is Building 4. Building 1 and 2 are planned to have underground parking on the lower level in Building 1., A curb cut is in existence from Norfolk Avenue to a previously existing parking lot on the corner of 5th and Norfolk. Building 3 will have private, gated parking on the backside of the building entering from Norfolk Avenue;this was previously used for access to loading docks of this building and has no curb. Building 4 will have parking on the side of the building facing the adjoining property on Salem Avenue, since this area was also utilized to access loading docks no curbs are in existence there either. • The period and style of building 1 is reminiscent of the Art Deco/Art Nouveau era of the 1920's,the subsequent additions are purely functional and do not exhibit any particular style. As far as we can research the mayor construction of this property was between 1899 and 1926, with the last addition to be guessed in the 1970's. It is our intent to consolidate the entire property as one and incorporate the more distinguishable style into the project. We would refer to the end result as"understated glamour",with brick and wrought iron being the predominant materials of choice,alternate materials, such as Dryvit maybe used to add some ornamental interest,which will unify the buildings and cover certain not esthetically pleasing cinderblock wall sections. We intend to maintain the footprint of the building as it exists,with modification only due to the change in use, such as adding covered parking(carport style)to the side of building 4. Along the property line(see Exhibit#3)we wish to construct a brick wall (approx. 3ft. high)with brick columns(approx. 8ft. high,every 10ft.)and decorative wrought iron section inserts. These wrought iron sections are to be repeated through out the project—on gates and door ways—to once again emphasize the unification of the buildings. Access to the parking areas is gained only by automated security gates. Two • large ones for Buildings 1 and 2 underground parking and Building.4's side parking area, Building 3 will have either individual gates(for the units within the dock area)or individual garage doors (which are already in existence-for two planned units). Visitors have the choice of utilizing the visitors parking section on the corner of 5th and Norfolk • for Buildings 1 and 2,park at the recessed individual gates of Building 3,use the open visitor parking area on the Norfolk Avenue side of Building 4 or use available street parking. • According to the plat admitted to record on October 17,2005,9'7"of the side walk on the Salem Avenue side of Building 1 belongs to the property. We would like to install the brick and wrought iron fence with gate on the property line in front of Building 1 to create a more formal Main Entrance. • The original portion of Building 1 has brick columns from street level to roof top, completing the column design on the remainder of the building, removing the blocks and restoring the original window and door openings in.Building 1,adding crossheads and key stones,will revitalize the façade and bring the building back to life. The style should. be continued on Buildings 2, 3 and 4 in addition to adding openings to accommodate the intended use as well as for ingress and egress purposes. Presently we are consulting with architects and engineers regarding the possibilities of adding a penthouse level to the structure with roof gardens and terraces. Should this be possible we would raise the building height by one floor and the height of a modified roof structure. The maximum total building height would not exceed 60 feet. Building 2.has several small room additions on the Norfolk Avenue side of the building; we plan to remove two of them(as noted on the Concept Plan prepared by Hill Studio dated September 5,2007)The intend is to create a private,recreational area screened from view of passing traffic and restricted only to residents and guests. Additionally this small modification will create more parking and an enclosed waste area, convenient to all residents. • We are very excited about this project and look forward to creating an exceptional space of which everyone involved can be proud.

The comprehensive plan designates the properties for industrial use. Planning Commission Public Hearing and Recommendation: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Thursday, August 18, 2011 . By a vote of 7-0, the Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request, finding the application to rezone the subject property to be consistent with Vision 2001-2020 and the Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan. The application provides for the reuse of two historic buildings and the first phase of a comprehensive rehabilitation of the entire parcel. Staff recommended approval of the application. Application Information Request: Rezoning &Amendment of Proffered Conditions (Ordinance No. 37957-111907) Owner: 501 Salem L.L.C. Authorized Agent: Faisal Khan, Operating Manager City Staff Person: Maribeth B. Mills Site Address/Location: Portion of 501 Salem Avenue S.W. Official Tax Nos.: Portion of 1111315 Site Area: 1.0711 Acres Total Existing Zoning: D, Downtown District with conditions Proposed Zoning: I-1, Light Industrial District with conditions Existing Land Use: Vacant Proposed Land Use: Warehouse Neighborhood Plan: Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan - ." Specified Future Land industrial • Use: Filing Date: Original Application: July 5, 2011 Background In the fall of 2007, City Council conditionally rezoned four contiguous properties from Light Industrial District to the Downtown District to allow the adaptive reuse of the existing buildings for a multifamily dwelling containing 40 units. The following year, the parcels were combined and interior asbestos removal and:demolition of non-load bearing walls began. Work stopped on the project in 2009 and the property was sold to, the current owner in April 2011. - The current owner plans to renovate the existing buildings in phases for a mixture of uses. As part of the first phase, the owner is requesting to rezone the subject portion of property to the I-1 District to allow the two existing buildings to be used as warehouse space. The retention of the existing buildings has been proffered as both are contributing structures to the Salem Avenue/Roanoke Automotive Commercial Historic District listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. The residual portion of the property would remain under its current conditional Downtown zoning designation and has been identified by the owner as a future phase consisting of commercial and residential uses within the existing buildings. „. . . . - . ... .,. Conditions:Proffered by,the;Applicant The applicant requests that the following-proffers enacted by Ordinance No: 37957- 111907 be amended as:they relate to the'subject portion of;Official) Tax No. 11113:1:5: . 1 The maximum number r,f uni s shall no exceed All . 1111315), r;as: :shown on. :the Concept 'Plan prepared by Hill: Studio, dated September 5, 2007.-': '�e' ur existing buildings ate` -irl tified nn �he'.ConceePt Plan repared hyi Hill � e�c _ J�fJ'"'IQGT�17T14Tr-VfrZTf�i—�GTIV �Uie dat , Sept h 5 2007 sh. he'r ined • i th the -ception ref'these av�-vme��r"YieR�ver-v-s-w'r.�rr -va.� crrcrr�e-Xv`-'r'trvrc'vrcr�vvc identified for removal -:- The existing buildings as shown;-on the Concept,Plan . prepared by;Lumsden Associates, P.C., datedJune:13, 2011, shall be retained. Considerations Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: • Zoning District Land Use North I-1, Light Manufacturing: Steel or metal production, fabrication, or Industrial processing (Advanced Metal Finishing). South 1-1, Light Motor vehicle sales and service establishment, used (Valley Industrial Motor Company) and vacant commercial buildings. East D, Downtown Office, general or professional (Integrated Imaging). West I-1, Light Vacant commercial building (used for parking of cement trucks Industrial by Chandler Concrete).: Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance: The owner requests the I-1 district to permit the use of the existing buildings for warehouse. Rezoning the entire parcel to the Urban Flex District was discussed with 2 staff but would have resulted in the owner requesting a special exception in addition to the rezoning for the specified use. Staff also felt that the I-1 district was more compatible with surrounding property in terms of zoning designations and development standards (e.g. eliminating the need for unnecessary buffer yards). The existing buildings cover the majority of the site except for a 50 to 60 foot paved strip along the western property line that the owner plans to stripe for parking. With the - condition that the existing buildings will be retained, potential modifications to the site are limited. Any modifications that do occur will be required to meet the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance during the comprehensive plan review process. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neighborhood Plan: Vision 2001-2020 and the Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan encourage the adaptive reuse of the City's historic resources which preserves them for future generations while putting them to productive use. The subject property is ideal for adaptive reuse as it is eligible for a number of incentives being located in a national and state historic district, a `Conservation Area' designated by the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority, and Enterprise Zone One A. Furthermore, this property is historically industrial and is still identified as an industrial development opportunity by the comprehensive and neighborhood plans. This portion of the property will also serve to buffer the future mixed use phase, which may include residences, from the neighboring concrete plant (Chandler Concrete of Virginia)and electroplating facility (Advance Metal Finishing). The neighborhood plan states that creating a better transition between industrial and residential uses should be addressed in future zoning decisions with a possible compromise being an appropriate mixture of uses including industrial. Relevant Vision 2001-2020 policies: • EC P6. Cultural and historic resources. Roanoke will support, develop, and promote its cultural resources. Roanoke will identify, preserve, and protect its historic districts, landmark features, historic structures, and archaeological sites. • ED P5. Industrial development. Underutilized and vacant industrial sites will be evaluated and redevelopment encouraged. Local policies and incentives and state economic incentives will strengthen the businesses and industries in the Enterprise Zones and provide jobs. Relevant Neighborhood Plan Policies • Residential Development Policies a. Zoning: Zoning patterns should allow for compatible uses in proximity to each other, and provide buffering or transition space between incompatible uses. • Economic Development Policies a. Connectivity: The neighborhood should connect seamlessly to its surrounding areas and complement them. 3 City Department Comments: None. Public Comments: None.

Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Ave, SW Roanoke VA 24011 Request for Rezoning of a Portion of 501 Salem Avenue The above referenced property has been known as the"Old Merita Bakery" or the"Kroger Bakery"by local residents and is located at the corner of 5th Street and Salem Avenue in Southwest Roanoke City. The property is included in the National Register of Historic Places - and with construction dating as early as 1899 the department of Historic Resources has • previously identified the structure as a"contributing resource"to the Salem Avenue/Roanoke Automotive Commercial Historic District,in which this property lies. The property underwent a conditional rezoning process in the fall of 2007. Rezoning at that time was from Industrial District(I-1)to Downtown District(D). The original concept plan of developing the property into residential condominium units never reached completion and the structure has remained unoccupied for more than a decade. Our recent acquisition of the property, and subsequent repairs have been performed with the overall idea that the structure can be revitalized via a graduated approach. We first obtained the necessary permits to correct major leaks found throughout the roof. The roofs.integrity had been damaged by fire and neglect of maintenance for many years, and the building had received numerous citations before being officially condemned prior to our acquisition. • Our goal has been to stabilize the building's roof and prevent further damage and to phase improvements to each section. It has been previously recognized that the overall structure consists of four different buildings and they were originally identified by Official Tax Nos. 1111305, 1111307, 1111312, and 1111315. In 2007 conditional rezoning combined all.parcels into Official Tax No. 1111315,zoned as Downtown District(D). The original use of the structure as a bakery situated in an industrial area was changed to Downtown District zoning during this process, and the plan at that time was develop the entire property into residential units. We feel a better approach to this project is to blend different uses for different portions of the she and our vision for this structure's overall end use would be a mixture of light industrial • businesses situated in the western half of the building, coupled with a mixed use development in the portion of the building which fronts Salem Ave and 5th Street. We would implement these developments in a phased manner. The portion of the building dedicated to storage or office space would blend perfectly with existing buildings and uses in this area and is more congruent with the building's historic utilization as well the current business environment of surrounding sites involved in light industry. This section would be difficult to market for residential space as it is directly adjacent to a concrete plant and an electroplating factory. The eastern side of the property, consisting of a two story brick structure fronting the corner of 5th Street and Salem Avenue, is prime for an adaptive reuse mixed development project and our goal is to incorporate downtown commercial and residential space in a later phase after we have established occupancy in the industrial section. Our plan is to stage construction and renovations over a period of time to make this overall development feasible and we begin with a request for rezoning of the western portion of this structure. We ask that this portion of the building be reverted back to its original I-1 zoning and in this section we will offer storage or office warehouse space for potential clients. Depending upon the need of the interested party this space could be offered as one large space or two smaller ones. Lumsden Associates has provided a potential plan for the partitioning of this space from 4 tax parcels carrying D zoning.to 2 separate parcels as shown on the attached proposed rezoning plan. The proposal on the accompanying survey includes rezoning of Tract"A" into Tract"A-1" (rezoned reversion to"I-1"); and"A-2" (to remain zoned"D"). We feel that the combination of a conditional rezoning of this building to its original I-1 use and a phased approach to renovations not only suits the individual demands of this structure's renovation requirements, but also incorporates the structure to the surrounding area in a dual manner by providing storage or warehouse space in a growing revitalized urban area in a short amount of time while the planning and development of other sections of the building takes place. The long term objective of implementing a mixed use development at this site can be a gateway project for further growth and development into the reaching areas of the Salem Avenue/Roanoke Automotive Commercial Historic District.Because of the building's situation at the corner of Salem Avenue and 5th Street, its development could begin a stream of positive growth throughout the area. This not only would complement the progressive nature of Downtown Growth in the City of Roanoke,but also is an integral component of the City's ' Comprehensive Plan. Respec , a' M.

This property has not been in use or occupied for well over ten years. The purpose of this conditional re-zoning request is to be able to convert the existing buildings into a maximum of 40 luxury condominiums,varying in size,each unique in character and lay-out. Each unit will have private and/or assigned parking. • We feel this request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan,the rejuvenation of this part of downtown will be to the public's benefit,since most of the neighboring properties are retail or service oriented. • On the attached(Exhibit 3)take note that the buildings have been numbered 1 through 4,to make reference explanations easier to follow. The two-story building on the corner of 5th and Salem Avenue is Building 1;the next building,with the round roof on Salem Avenue is Building 2;followed by a square addition on Salem Avenue—Building 3 and the last square addition on Salem Avenue is Building 4. Building 1 and 2 are planned to have underground parking on the lower level in Building 1. A curb cut is in existence from Norfolk Avenue to a previously existing parking lot on the corner of 56 and Norfolk. Building 3 will have private,gated parking on the backside of the building entering from Norfolk Avenue;this was previously used for access to loading docks of this building and has no curb. Building 4 will have parking on the side of the building facing the adjoining property on Salem Avenue,since this area was also utilized to access loading docks no curbs are in existence there either. The period and style of building 1 is reminiscent of the Art Deco/Art Nouveau era of the 1920's,the subsequent additions are purely functional and do not exhibit any particular style. As far as we can research the mayor construction of this property was between 1899 and 1926, with the last addition to be guessed in the 1970's. It is our intent to consolidate the entire property as one and incorporate the more distinguishable style into the project. We would refer to the end result as"understated glamour",with brick and wrought iron being the predominant materials of choice,alternate materials, such as Dryvit maybe used to add some ornamental interest,which will unify the buildings and cover certain not esthetically pleasing cinderblock wall sections. We intend to maintain the footprint of the building as it exists,with modification only due to the change in use, such as adding covered parking(carport style)to the side of building 4. Along the property line(see Exhibit#3)we wish to construct a brick wall (approx.3ft.high)with brick columns(approx. 8ft.high,every l Oft.)and decorative wrought iron section inserts. These wrought iron sections are to be repeated through out the project—on gates and door ways—to once again emphasize the unification of the buildings. Access to the parking areas is gained only by automated security gates. Two large ones for Buildings 1 and 2 underground parking and Building 4's side parking area, Building 3 will have either individual gates(for the units within the dock area)or individual garage doors(which are already in existence-for two planned units). Visitors have the choice of utilizing the visitors parking section on the corner of 5th and Norfolk for Buildings 1 and 2,park at the recessed individual gates of Building 3,use the open visitor parking area on the Norfolk Avenue side of Building 4 or use available street parking. According to the plat admitted to record on October 17,2005,9'7"of the side walk on the Salem Avenue side of Building 1 belongs to the property. We would like to install the brick and wrought iron fence with gate on the property line in front of Building 1 to create a more formal Main Entrance. The original portion of Building 1 has brick columns from street level to roof top, completing the column design on the remainder of the building,removing the blocks and restoring the original window and door openings in Building 1,adding crossheads and key stones,will revitalize the façade and bring the building back to life. The style should be continued on Buildings 2,3 and 4 in addition to adding openings to accommodate the intended use as well as for ingress and egress purposes. Presently we are consulting with architects and engineers regarding the possibilities of adding a penthouse level to the structure with roof gardens and terraces. Should this be possible we would raise the building height by one floor and the height of a modified roof structure. The maximum total building height would not exceed 60 feet. Building 2 has several small room additions on the Norfolk Avenue side of the building;we plan to remove two of them(as noted on the Concept Plan prepared by Hill Studio dated September 5,2007)The intend is to create a private,recreational area screened from view of passing traffic and restricted only to residents and guests. Additionally this small modification will create more parking and an enclosed waste area, convenient to all residents. We are very excited about this project and look forward to creating an exceptional space of which everyone involved can be proud. R- ) nitted.

City Manager's Report Submitted by: Jillian Papa, Interim Director Planning, Building, & Development ROA N O K E May 19, 2025 Title: Public Hearing on the 2025-2029 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated Plan and the 2025 Annual Action Plan. Background: The City of Roanoke receives approximately $2.5 million in funding each year from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. These funds support programs to provide affordable housing, public services, neighborhood revitalization, economic development, homelessness prevention, and services to low and moderate income people. The City's funds are often heavily leveraged with funding and in-kind support provided by the non-profit agencies that are contracted to provide those services. Each program (CDBG, HOME and ESG) provides for the City to recover a percentage of funding for administrative costs to manage the funds. The City is required to prepare and submit a five-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Plan to HUD for approval. The Consolidated Plan describes the City's overall priorities and objectives for the anticipated use of funds for the next five years (2025-2029). Each year, the City is required to develop an Annual Plan to outline the strategic priorities for funding. The action on May 19, 2025, is a briefing and public hearing to receive final input on the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. A public hearing was held on March 17, 2025. A formal public comment period was held from April 17, 2025 to May 19, 2025. City staff engaged the community during the process by holding stakeholder meetings, collecting community surveys, and through community outreach. A summary of public comments gathered as part of this process is incorporated into the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan.

HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS),American Community Survey(ACS),and Census data were used to help assess the City's priority needs,which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the activities that will be supported with CDBG funding. A key goal of the Needs Assessment is to identify the nature and extent of housing problems experienced by Roanoke's residents. The Needs Assessment takes particular care to address "disproportionately greater need" for housing, severe housing problems, and housing cost burden.A disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group in a category of need is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole. The City's Needs Assessment was conducted in a variety of ways, including community surveys, data review and analysis, and engaging with existing community meetings to receive resident input about housing and community development needs. In addition, the City of Roanoke used the prepopulated data sets provided by HUD including the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS)data and 2016- 2020 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy(CHAS) data, which provides information on housing needs, to prepare its estimates and projects. Base year data includes the prepopulated 2005-2009 data sets provided by HUD for use in making longitudinal comparisons. Additionally,the City of Roanoke is the Collaborative Applicant for the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care. Data for the development of the needs for persons experiencing homelessness in the area have been obtained from the Continuum of Care. Information was also gathered through input sessions and interviews with various social service agencies, housing providers, City staff, and other key stakeholders. Key definitions for Needs Assessment: Small Family Households: 2 persons, neither person 62 years or over,or 3 or 4 persons Large Family Households: 5 or more persons Elderly: People aged 62 and up. "Elderly" refers to individuals 62-74,while those 75 and up may be referred to as "extra elderly" or"frail elderly." Individuals age 75 and up are generally recognized as a population with different needs than those 62-74, so the CHAS data separates these groups. Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 7 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo Population and Demographics Roanoke,VA, had a population of 99,120 as of the 2020 Census, with 41,695 households.The median age of residents is 38.9 years and the average household size of 2.1 people. Over one third (35.2%) of households are married-couple families, while 39%are female-headed households without a spouse or partner. 25%of households include individuals under the age of 18, while 17.5%of individuals are 65 years of age and older. Race and Ethnicity Composition (ACS, 2023) • 8.6%of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino • Among those reporting one race alone: • 62%are White, 30%are Black/African American, 5.2%as "other"race, 2.7%are Asian,and 0.5%are American Indian/Alaska Native. • 7.5%of residents report more identifying as more than one race. • Nearly 18%of households speak another language than English at home; Spanish is the most commonly spoken language after English.6C Economic Landscape Roanoke's median household income of$51,038 is significantly lower than the state median of $89,931.The City's poverty rate stands at 19%, nearly double the state average (10.2%). Children under 18 (27.2%) and seniors over 65 (13%) are particularly affected by poverty.The City has a 58.6% employment rate, and 75.3%of households rely on wages or salaries.The Roanoke region's largest employment sectors are healthcare, manufacturing and education,which have all experienced multimillion-dollar investments over the past few years. The economy is also expanding through new efforts in high tech entrepreneurship,tourism,and outdoor activities (CEDS, 2024) Housing Market Roanoke has 48,726 total housing units,with a vacancy rate of 8.9%.The homeownership rate is 51.9%, indicating a nearly even split between homeowners and renters. The median rent is$1,110, which is lower than the state median of$1,567, but cost burdens remain high. 76%of extremely low- income households(<30%HAMFI) are renters, and 43%of renters are cost-burdened or severely cost burdened (paying over 30%of income on housing).az-The median monthly housing cost for homeowners with a mortgage is$1,234.The majority of housing units (86.4%) have 2 or more bedrooms; of these 16.5%are units with 4 or more bedrooms.80%of owner occupied homes and 76% of renter-occupied homes were built before 1980, raising potential concerns about aging infrastructure and exposure to lead-based paint.

The data sets utilized are primarily CHAS,ACS, and HUD-adjusted median family incomes (HAMFI). Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy(CHAS) 1990, Congress passed the National Affordable Housing Act, which required that State and local governments participating in selected HUD grant programs prepare a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS).The CHAS was meant to serve as the strategic guide for housing and community development activities, particularly activities funded by HUD grants and targeted to low-and moderate-income households. To support this analysis, HUD and the Census Bureau produced custom tabulations of the 1990 Census that provided grantees with information about low-and moderate-income households' housing needs. As a planning document,the CHAS was superseded in 1995 by the Consolidated Plan, but the Census data's custom tabulations continue to be known as the "CHAS data."The CHAS data were updated following the Census 2000,and in 2009 they were updated to rely on the American Community Survey (ACS),the Census Bureau's new annual survey that replaced the long form of the decennial Census.The CHAS data combine ACS microdata with HUD-adjusted median family incomes(HAMFI)to estimate the number of households that qualify for HUD assistance.The CHAS data also incorporate household characteristics(race/ethnicity, age, family size, disability status)and housing unit characteristics (such as the number of bedrooms and rent/owner costs. HUD-Adjusted Median Family Incomes(HAMFI) The terms"area median income" (AMI)or"median family income" (MFI) are used in the CHAS; these terms refer to HAMFI.This is the median family income calculated by HUD for each jurisdiction to determine Fair Market Rents (FMRs)and HUD programs' income limits. HAMFI will not necessarily be the same as other calculations of median incomes (such as a simple Census number) due to a series of adjustments that are made. The Community Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)evaluates the conditions of families in the lower 80%of the Housing Affordability Median Income for the area. Income Category • Extremely low-income Less than 30% HAMFI • Very low-income 30%-50%HAMFI • Low income 50%-80% HAM Fl Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 10 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo • Low-and middle-income 80-100% HAMFI • Upper income Greater than 100% HAMFI The most relevant income category is 80%of HAMFI because most HUD programs base eligibility on this threshold, generally referred to as low-to moderate-income. It is critical to understand how the US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) evaluates income within a community. HUD sets income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs, including the Public Housing, Section 8 project-based, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Section 202 housing for the elderly, and Section 811 housing for persons with disabilities.

BRILC provides: • Independent Living Skill Training: Assistance in obtaining the skills needed to live independently, such as financial management, acquired social skills, household management, etc. • Peer Mentoring: Counseling for persons with disabilities by persons with disabilities. • Transition Services: Facilitate transition of youth to post-secondary life, from nursing homes and other institutions to the community, and prevent institutionalization. • Information & Referral: Information about assistive equipment, recreation,accessibility, legislation,and other disability-related issues. Referrals are also made to local service providers to assist individuals to locate resources needed to become or remain independent and in the community. BRILC conducts an annual survey on services people are most interested in receiving, and this year's top 5 services were: services to support independent living; affordable housing; personal assistance; transportation; and emergency preparedness. BRILC reports that many of the people they serve want Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 11 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo independent living and while BRILC can help make a home accessible, there are not enough affordable options for people. About 18.5%of Roanoke residents have a disability, higher than the state average of 12.8%. Nearly 76%(1,568)of people identifying as disabled were enrolled in the Coordinated Entry System during the 2024 calendar year. Nationally, almost 50%of people experiencing homelessness live with some type of disability, at a rate 2.5 times higher than that of the general US population. For individuals enrolled in CES, information on type of disability is: • 21% Physical • 10% Developmental • 35%Chronic Health Condition • .9% HIV/AIDS • 51%Mental Health Disorder • 30%Substance Use Disorder Nearly 70%of Roanoke residents over the age of 65 have a disability. US Census Data estimates that in 2020 the poverty rate for people with disabilities is approximately 27%, compared to 11%for persons without disabilities. Data from the National Disability Institute(NDI)shows that individuals with disabilities face higher levels of unemployment, lower education attainment,and more significant barriers to economic participation,contributing to this intersection of poverty and disability. An important component of assisting households that include someone living with a disability is to ensure connections to income supports and mainstream benefits. SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery(SOAR)is a program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA),and designed to increase access to Social Security Administration (SSA) disability benefits, Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI/SSDI), for eligible adults who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and have a mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder. Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare employs the local lead for this initiative,ensuring efficient access to these entitlements.

Ongoing efforts by the city aim to alleviate these issues, but continued focus and resources are necessary to meet the growing demand for affordable housing. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Domestic Violence Individuals and households needing domestic violence services can find support at Total Action for Progress (TAP).TAP has provided domestic violence services to the region for over 50 years, with the exception of emergency shelter.TAP added emergency shelter for DV victims during COVID as a response to the growing need for this service.TAP operated the shelter using both a scatter site model and a confidential single site model.TAP continues to operate a scattered site emergency shelter as they have continued to report a growing need for this service, however TAP will discontinue shelter services at the designated site location due to limited financial capacity. Despite this closure,TAP reports a high need for emergency shelter services for households fleeing DV.TAP reports that the number of people experiencing interpersonal violence has increased by 44%, and they anticipate the need to continue to grow.TAP provides the following domestic violence victim services: • Emergency assistance and emergency transportation • Emergency relocation assistance • 24/7 Emergency Hotline • Crisis intervention • Legal advocacy • Court preparation and accompaniment • Peer-to-peer support group • Education and outreach programs for the community • Prevention (Community and Early Learning) TAP also operates Sabrina's Place, a Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Center serving parents and children throughout southwest Virginia. Unique to the region, Sabrina's Place is free and ensures safety by having separate parking areas, entrances, and exits, and waiting areas for each parent, as well as off- duty police officers,to provide security.

What are the most common housing problems? The most common housing problem in the City of Roanoke continues to be housing affordability. Cost burden among extremely low and low income households is most prevalent,especially among renters. 44%of low-moderate households are either cost burdened or extremely cost burdened. 64%of cost burdened households are renters;49%of these renters are considered extremely low income. Additionally, national data highlights the lack of affordable and ADA-compliant housing. In "The State of the Nation's Housing" 2022 report, it's reported that a "vast majority of US homes lack basic accessibility features—such as no-step entryway and grab bars in the bathroom—that older adults and people with disabilities often need to live safely in their homes."aAAAAAAAAAAa- Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Renter households with worst-case housing needs are those with very low incomes that do not receive government housing assistance and pay more than one-half of their incomes toward rent, those that live in severely inadequate conditions, or both.This population of residents faces the greatest risk of becoming homeless or having unstable housing. The greatest housing needs in Roanoke exist among renters, particularly those with incomes at or below 30%of AMI. Which households can have worst-case needs? By definition, households that can have worst-case needs are households that • Are renters; • Have very low incomes—incomes of no more than 50 percent of the area median income (adjusted for family size); • Do not receive housing assistance. Priority problems trigger worst-case needs Two types of priority problems determine whether households have worst-case needs: • Severe rent burden means that a renter household pays more than one-half of its income for gross rent (rent and utilities). • Severely inadequate housing refers to units having one or more serious physical problems related to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems or maintenance Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 21 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo "Worst Case Housing Needs, 2019 Report to Congress" U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Policy Development and Research Additionally, Elderly households, both renters and homeowners, especially those earning 0-30%AMI, are likely to be disproportionately affected by severe housing problems. In Roanoke, as of 2023, a larger share of senior renter households are burdened (54.5%)than renter households overall (43.6%). For senior homeowners,the same relationship exists (Housing Needs Assessment, Local Housing Solutions). Housing affordability and home repair assistance programs that address aging in place should also be prioritized. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income)who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance The McKinney-Vento Act,which later became part of the No Child Left Behind Act(NCLB), mandates protections and services for homeless children and youth, including those with disabilities.The 2004 reauthorization of IDEA also includes amendments that reinforce timely assessment, inclusion, and continuity of services for homeless children and youth with disabilities. McKinney-Vento Definition of Homelessness is anyone who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, including: • Sharing the housing of others due to lack of housing,economic hardship,or similar reason • Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, and camping grounds due to a lack of adequate alternative accommodations • Living in emergency or transitional shelters • Abandoned in hospitals • Awaiting foster care placement • Living in a public or private place not designed for humans to live • Living in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, public train stations, etc. • A migrant child who qualifies under any of the above The major causes of homelessness for children in the U.S. involve both structural and individual factors, including: • the nation's persistently high rates of poverty for families; • a lack of affordable housing across the nation; • continuing impacts of the Great Recession; • racial disparities in homelessness; Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 22 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo • the challenges of single parenting; and • the ways in which traumatic experiences, especially domestic violence, precede and prolong homelessness for families. (America's Youngest Outcasts-A Report on Child Homelessness,American Institutes for Research (2014). Homelessness can have a tremendous impact on children—their education, health, sense of safety, and overall development. Fortunately, researchers found that children are also highly resilient. Differences between children who have experienced homelessness and low-income children who have not experienced homelessness typically diminish in the years following a homeless episode. When compared to low-income and homeless families, children experiencing homelessness have been shown to: • Have higher levels of emotional and behavioral problems; • Have increased risk of serious health problems; • Are more likely to experience separations from their families; and • Experience more school mobility, repeat a grade, are more likely to be expelled or drop out of school, and have lower academic performance. (National Alliance to End Homelessness) For the 24-25 school year through April 11th, Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) have identified 575 students in 319 families that are experiencing homelessness. Of these, 78%are doubled up, 16%are staying in a hotel, and 6%are in an emergency shelter. Approximately 10%of these students are identified as experiencing domestic violence in the household. Moreover, Point In Time Count reports more families experiencing homelessness on a single night in January,from 2023 to 2024: Homelessness among people in families with children counted on a single night increased by 22.4%between 2023 (89)and 2024(109). The challenges that face these families, along with Rapid Re-housing participants, are the same challenges that face the population at large: access to affordable housing, medical and behavioral health care, and affordable childcare. Households that are exiting rapid re-housing struggle to afford market rate rent, especially as wages and entitlements such as SSDI have not kept the pace of housing costs and other costs of living. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: Estimates of the at-risk population were made based on various information sources. Census,ACS, CHAS,and Point-in-Time Homeless data are used when available. Information from agencies providing at-risk services was requested based on current program usage. Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 23 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Housing cost burden continues to be a primary risk for low-income individuals and families with children at risk of experiencing homelessness. The National Alliance to End Homelessness states that"low- income households are typically unemployed or underemployed due to many factors, such as a challenging labor market, limited education, a gap in work history, a criminal record, unreliable transportation or unstable housing, poor health, or a disability. For those who are low-income but employed, wages have been stagnant and have not kept pace with expensive housing costs.The typical American worker has seen little to no growth in his/her weekly wages over the past three decades.Too little income combined with the dwindling availability of low-cost housing leaves many people at risk for becoming homeless." Some characteristics can also predispose an individual or household to homelessness, including: • Persons leaving institutions: detox, mental hospitals, prisons, etc. • Households paying more than 50%of income for housing costs • Victims of domestic violence • Special needs populations (persons with AIDS, disabilities,drug or alcohol addiction, etc.) • Single parent head of households who are unemployed • People who are doubling up in unstable living arrangements(and cannot be counted as homeless) • Families living below the poverty level Households that exhibit one or more of these characteristics constitute a population that is "at-risk" of becoming homeless.These individuals and families are at risk of becoming homeless because they have a lesser chance of making economic improvements in their lives Discussion Housing is Out of Reach There is a significant gap between renters'wages and the cost of rental housing across the United States.A full-time worker needs to earn an hourly wage of$30.25 on average to afford a modest,two- bedroom rental home in the state of Virginia.This "Housing Wage"for a two-bedroom home is $23.00 higher than the federal minimum wage of$7.25 and $18.25 higher than the Virginia minimum hourly wage of$12.00 (non-tipped workers)earned by renters. Renters with the lowest incomes face the greatest challenge in finding affordable housing. The average minimum wage worker in Virginia must work 87 hours per week to afford a modest one-bedroom rental home at the average fair market rent.A full-time worker needs to earn an hourly wage of $26.21 to afford a one-bedroom rental home.

Severe housing problems include: • Overcrowded households with 1.5 persons per room, not including bathrooms,porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms • Households with cost burdens of more than 50%of income The "2019 County Health Ranking Key Report" by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that "many households are just one unforeseen event—an illness,job loss, financial crisis, or even a drop-in hour at work—from losing their home.The risk for homelessness is especially high for low-income families spending more than half of household income on housing costs. Families that face insecure housing,forced moves,or homelessness are more likely to experience poor mental or physical health and preventable hospitalizations. For children in these families, experiencing homelessness can also be harmful to brain and body function and development,with lifelong and cumulative negative health outcomes for the child,the family, and the community." 0%-30%of Area Median Income Severe Housing Problems* Has one or more of i Has none of the 1 Household has four housing four housing no/negative problems problems income, but none of the other housing problems Jurisdiction as a whole 5,105 3,750 0 White 2,460 2,010 0 Black/African American 2,185 1,060 0 Asian 115 290 0 American Indian,Alaska Native 0 10 0 Pacific Islander 0 0 0 Hispanic 200 335 0 Table 17—Severe Housing Problems 0-30%AMI Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 31 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo *The four severe housing problems are: 1.

For income levels at 50 to 80%AMI, 7%of all residents report one or more of the four housing problems.

Low-income Asian residents are over-represented as having housing problems.These marginalized groups face the greatest challenges in accessing affordable,safe, and adequate housing, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to address their specific housing needs.These households are at a higher risk of experiencing homelessness and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing,transportation, and medical care.

Introduction: This section evaluates the housing cost burden through a race and ethnicity lens. Cost burden is the fraction of a household's total gross income spent on housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For homeowners, housing costs include mortgage payments,taxes, insurance, and utilities.A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group at an income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10%or more)than the income level as a whole. HUD defines cost-burdened families as those "who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing" and "may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical care." Severe rent burden is defined as paying more than 50 percent of one's income on rent. The tables display cost burden information for the City of Roanoke and each racial and ethnic group. Cost Burden is described in the tables as: • No cost burden (less than 30%) • Cost burden (30-50%) • Severe cost burden (more than 50%) • No/negative income.No/negative income households are those whose income is zero or negative due to self-employment, dividends,and net rental income.These households are not included in the other two categories but still require housing assistance and are counted separately. With the cost of housing on the rise, researchers are reexamining the 30-percent rule of thumb for measuring rental burden. HUD defines cost-burdened families as those "who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing" and "may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical care."Severe rent burden is defined as paying more than 50 percent of one's income on rent. The 30-percent rule — that a household should spend no more than 30 percent of its income on housing costs— has long been accepted in academic circles and is often included in blogs and websites on family budgeting. A recent Business Week article, however, argues that the 30-percent rule is"nearly useless." The authors suggest that calculating housing cost burden using only income ratios oversimplifies the issue of housing affordability. Frank Nothaft, chief economist at Freddie Mac, is quoted in the article as saying, "If your income is$500,000 a year,you can pay 40 percent and still have money left. But if your income is$20,000 a year, it will be hard to make ends meet if you're paying 30 percent of your income on rent." In discussing the rental affordability measurement to Business Week, David Bieri of the University of Michigan states that the 30-percent rule "[is] essentially an arbitrary number." One of the arguments against the share of income approach is that different households earning the same annual income Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 35 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo spend considerably different amounts of money on basic necessities. For example, families with children spend more on clothing, food, and medical bills than single adults.Thus, a household with children that spends 50 percent of its income on housing might be cost-burdened, whereas a single adult who earns the same salary and spends the same percentage of income on housing might not be. In addition,the share of income measure does not consider cost-of-living differences in areas where housing is expensive. Data from the American Housing Survey and the American Community Survey indicate that severe rental burdens disproportionately impact poor families.The Worst Case Housing Needs surveys the number of very low-income families (those earning less than 50 percent of the area median income) who pay more than half their income in rent, have substandard housing conditions, or both.

The data shows that extremely low-income (0-30%of Area Median Income)and low-income (31-50%of Area Median Income) households are significantly more likely to encounter at least one severe housing problem, such as cost burden, overcrowding, or substandard housing conditions.Additionally, members of the BIPOC community are far more likely to experience a housing problem, especially residents that identify as Black/African American,Asian,or Hispanic.These groups face the greatest challenges in accessing affordable, safe,and adequate housing, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to address their specific housing needs. Experiencing one or more housing problems—such as overcrowding,cost burden, lack of kitchen facilities,or inadequate plumbing—often exacerbates other challenges that low-income households face. Housing instability can lead to frequent moves, disrupting employment and children's education. Cost-burdened households may struggle to afford other necessities like healthcare,transportation, and nutritious food. Additionally,substandard housing conditions can negatively impact physical and mental health, increasing the likelihood of respiratory illnesses, stress, and anxiety. For BIPOC households,who may already face systemic barriers to economic opportunity,these housing challenges can further entrench disparities in wealth, health, and overall stability.Addressing housing problems is crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting equitable access to safe, affordable homes. If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? In general, housing problems are more likely experienced by marginalized City residents who identify as BIPOC and/or are very extremely low or low income than the overall population.City Plan 2040 identified Interwoven Equity as key to envisioning a diverse and inclusive community by 2040. City Plan 2040 envisions equitable access and opportunities to education, housing, healthcare,employment, and quality of life. The following needs remain: • More outreach to these marginalized groups on Fair Housing Choice. • More outreach to the rental agencies and property managers on Fair Housing Choice. • Additional supports to ensure that these renters and homeowners have access to resources and funding for to ease cost burden, overcrowding, and address substandard living conditions.

Here's a summary of the key programs: HOUSING PROGRAMS Public Housing- RRHA manages approximately 1,282 units of HUD-assisted public housing, offering apartments to low-to moderate-income families.Their goal is to help residents transition from assisted housing to homeownership. Properties include Lansdowne Park, Hunt Manor, Melrose Towers,Jamestown Place, Morningside Manor, Bluestone Park, Indian Rock Village, Villages at Lincoln, and various scattered sites. Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)-This program provides rental assistance to eligible low-income families,the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. However, as of January 2025, the waiting list for Section 8 vouchers is closed,and RRHA has paused issuing new vouchers due to funding shortfalls. Project-Based Vouchers (PBV): RRHA partners with property owners to provide PBVs, which are tied to specific units rather than individuals. These vouchers aim to increase affordable housing options for elderly individuals and families, as well as persons with disabilities. Homeownership Programs-Lease/Purchase Homeownership: Assists residents in transitioning from renting to owning a home through lease-to- own arrangements.Section 32 Homeownership: Allows eligible public housing residents to purchase homes owned by RRHA.

Specifically, Section 504 states, "No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States. ..shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of,or be subjected to discrimination under any program, service or activity receiving federal financial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by any Executive agency or by the United States Postal Service."This means that Section 504 prohibits discrimination based on disability in any program or activity that receives financial assistance from any federal agency, including HUD, as well as in programs conducted by federal agencies, including HUD. An individual with a disability is any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.The term physical or mental impairment may include, but is not limited to, conditions such as visual or hearing impairment, mobility impairment, HIV infection, developmental disabilities, drug addiction, or mental illness. In general,the definition of"person with disabilities" does not include current users of illegal controlled substances. However, individuals would be protected under Section 504(as well as the ADA) if the purpose of the specific program or activity is to provide health or rehabilitation services to such individuals. The term major life activity may include: seeing, hearing, walking, breathing, performing manual tasks, caring for one's self, learning, speaking, or working.This list is not exhaustive. Section 504 also protects persons who have a record of such impairment or are regarded as having such an impairment. Reasonable accommodations for RRHA programs and services may be requested and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders Residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher(Section 8) programs in Roanoke are currently facing significant challenges due to a combination of funding shortfalls, rising rental costs, and limited housing availability. Key Immediate Needs: • Access to Affordable Housing: Approximately 4,300 individuals are on the waitlist for Section 8 vouchers in Roanoke. Even those who have received vouchers struggle to find housing within the program's payment standards as these standards are not in alignment with market rent rates. Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 45 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo • Increased Landlord Participation:The number of landlords accepting Housing Choice Vouchers has declined, partly due to the ability to secure higher rents from tenants without vouchers.This trend limits housing options for voucher holders and exacerbates the housing shortage. • Improved Housing Conditions: Many affordable housing units in Roanoke are in substandard condition,featuring issues like exposed wiring, mold, and structural hazards.These conditions compromise the safety and well-being of residents. • Timely Funding and Program Support: The Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority issued the following update regarding the Housing Choice Voucher Shortfall, as of February 6, 2025: At the close of 2024, HUD allocated additional mainstream funding to the HCV program, allowing RRHA to issue new vouchers. Although the waitlist has slowly reopened, RRHA is projecting a Housing Assistance Payment(HAP)shortfall for the HCV program in Calendar Year(CY25).As a result, the organization will continue to implement the cost-saving measures outlined in the CY24 Action Plan. RRHA will continue to provide rental assistance on behalf of all current HCV participants, ensuring that current housing assistance payments remain uninterrupted.At this time RRHA does not have a budget and we are operating under a continuing resolution which is in effect until March 9, 2025. Under continuing resolutions, we are funded at the same level as last year, with no cost of living increases. Further updates will be shared on the RRHA website as they become available. Conclusion: Addressing these immediate needs requires coordinated efforts to secure additional funding, encourage landlord participation, improve housing conditions, and expand the availability of affordable housing units. Such measures are essential to support the well-being of Public Housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher holders in Roanoke. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The challenges of housing cost burden impact almost all families, regardless of the income level. Housing cost burdens impact middle-income families who have a more significant challenge saving for emergencies and maintaining their home or saving for homeownership. Households with a high-cost burden, regardless of income, are at a greater risk of losing their housing.Additionally,the quality and condition of housing, as well as accessibility considerations, must be addressed when discussing affordable housing options. Discussion Public housing authority tenants often face multiple challenges that extend beyond the need for affordable rent. Many residents have low or fixed incomes, making it difficult to afford essentials like Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 46 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Demo food, healthcare, and transportation.According to HUD, over 50%of public housing households are headed by elderly or disabled individuals, highlighting the need for accessible housing, supportive services, and healthcare access. Reliable transportation is also a significant issue,as many public housing developments are located in areas with limited public transit options, making it harder for tenants to access jobs,education, and medical care. Additionally, safety and community services are key concerns, with many residents advocating for improved security measures,youth programs, and workforce development initiatives. With more than 1.7 million Americans living in public housing, addressing these needs through expanded social services, better infrastructure, and economic opportunities is essential to improving the quality of life for public housing residents.

The lead entity for the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care planning process is the Blue Ridge Interagency Council on Homelessness (BRICH);the CoC Collaborative Applicant designation is the City of Roanoke. In order to help understand the landscape of homelessness within the BRCoC, Point In Time (PIT) Count data is used.The PIT Count is a critical tool used to measure homelessness in communities across the United States. Data from this annual census is used to assess the scope of homelessness, understand demographics and trends, evaluate progress in addressing housing instability, and inform policy and funding decisions. However, due to the nature of a one-night count,the limitations should also noted. It is understood that a one-night point in time count has limitations and in any given year may under-count the homeless population when compared to data collected over a more extended period of time or at other periodic intervals. The greatest value of the PIT Count is that it is unduplicated count of both sheltered and unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness on one night. Ai.-Decreases or increases in the number of persons counted from year to year may indicate a change the homeless population or external circumstances or PIT data included in this plan reflects the number of people experiencing homelessness on the night of January 24,2024. In addition to the PIT data,data pulled from the CoC's Coordinated Entry System (CES) have also been included in the Homeless Needs Assessment. Mandated by HUD for CoC programs, CES standardizes the access and assessment process, ensuring that resources are allocated based on vulnerability and need rather than a first-come,first-served basis. The goal is to improve efficiency, fairness, and transparency in how homeless assistance is provided. Many attached graphs reflect CES enrollments in the 2024 calendar year.

Families with children The BRCoC PIT Report identifies the positive impact of rapid re-housing strategies on families,which has been well researched and proven effective.The Family Options Study published by HUD in 2015 showed that rapid re- housing reduced episodes of homelessness in emergency shelters and that both housing subsidies and rapid re-housing services were cost effective. Over the period of 2012 to 2024,the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care's efforts to reduce family homelessness through rapid re-housing and other interventions have proved to be both cost and program effective. Since 2012,the number of people in families with children has declined by 17.4%over the same period (from 132 in 2012 to 109 in 2024). Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 51 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Veterans For 2024 PIT Count, 18 veterans were counted; of these, 2 were unsheltered, and 5 were identified as chronically homeless. Despite the significant increased numbers seen in the 2024 PIT year,there is progress to report. All veterans (18) were in households without children. This year's homeless Veteran count decreased by 40%to 18 total Veterans.This decrease is likely the result of continued and substantial Federal investment in resources for homeless and at-risk Veterans. The HUD-VASH Permanent Supportive Housing program has been well-funded and expanded in recent years.The Supportive Services for Veteran Families(SSVF) programs is also well-funded and targets critical resources to Veterans experiencing housing instability.The success of these programs is evidence that well-funded programs have a real impact. Chronically Homeless For 2024 PIT Count,there were 94 chronically homeless individuals counted. Chronic homelessness increased by nearly 65%this year.This number is consistent with other metrics identified in our service system, including increasing lengths of stay in our shelter programs and increasing numbers of individuals with severe underlying conditions that have contributed to their loss of housing. Chronic homelessness refers to an individual or family where the head of household has a disability and has been continuously homeless for a year or more or has experienced at least four episodes of homelessness in the last three years where the combined length of time homeless was at least 12 months. Unaccompanied Youth For 2024 PIT Count,there were 13 unaccompanied homeless youth between the ages of 18 and 24 counted.Twelve of these youth were in adult-only households and three of the thirteen individuals were unsheltered.There was one homeless youth in a parenting youth household. Domestic Violence The 2024 PIT Count data shows that there was also a significant increase in households accessing services through our domestic violence shelter programs this year. Sixty-four(64) individuals were counted in these programs this year.This is a 56%increase over the number of individuals counted in these programs last year(41). Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. Individuals accessing the coordinated entry system for housing services in the 2024 calendar year had the following race and ethnicity make-up: Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 52 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) • 53%White • 39% Black/African American • 4.4% Multi-Racial • 2% Hispanic • Other Races—less than 1% These numbers suggest that no racial or ethnic group is disproportionately represented within the homeless response system.A local equity assessment conducted in 2022 supported this conclusion, finding no significant overrepresentation of any race or ethnicity. Instead,the data reflect ongoing efforts to promote equitable access to programs and services. For example, the racial breakdown of individuals enrolled in emergency shelter and street outreach programs was 57%White, 38% Black/African American, and 2%identifying as multiple races.Among those served by permanent housing programs, the breakdown was 52%White,43% Black/African American, and 2.2%multiple races. In homelessness prevention programs, 35%were White, 60%were Black/African American, and 1.2% identified as multiple races. Data from 2020 to 2022 show an increase in the number of BIPOC individuals accessing services, which points to both a greater need among these populations and improved access to available resources. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. Unsheltered Homeless refers to the segment of a homeless community who do not have ordinary lawful access to buildings in which to sleep, as referred to in the HUD definition as persons occupying"place not meant for human habitation", (examples: bus stop, parks, riverbed,van, RV, sidewalk). Sheltered Homeless refers to those in an emergency shelter, in transitional housing, or who are exiting an institution where they temporarily reside lacking a fixed nighttime residence. People will be considered homeless if they are exiting an institution where they resided for up to 90 days. People who are losing their primary nighttime residence which may be a motel, hotel or a doubled-up situation within 14 days and lack resources or support networks to remain in housing, are also considered homeless. On January 24, 2024, 402 people were experiencing homelessness in the Roanoke Region. A majority, 81.1%(326), were staying in emergency shelters, and 18.9%(76) were in unsheltered locations. This year's unsheltered count increased by 105%over last year. Discussion: Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 53 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) While the City is experiencing marked increases in homelessness, there are success as well.There is an increasing number of individuals exiting homelessness to permanent housing and the decreasing percentage of individuals returning to homelessness from housing.Through the end of April 2024, in the current fiscal year, 274 individuals have exited homelessness to permanent housing.This is an 18% increase over the number of individuals exiting to housing during the same period last year. Additionally,the City continues to pursue new initiatives to enhance service delivery.The newest initiative, known as the STAR initiative, has the Roanoke police team up with service providers to bring critical support directly to people in need. STAR,which stands for Supporting Transition Assistance and Recovery, aims to address the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. Ultimately, the complexities of homelessness stem from the interconnectedness of broken systems, where issues such as inadequate housing, lack of access to healthcare, and economic instability all contribute to a cycle of disadvantage. From the 2024 PIT Report: "Economic factors including inflation, rising rental costs and the lack of affordable housing in the region are likely the primary drivers of these increases. Increases in requests for domestic violence services has also been a consistent trend in our community since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. Unfortunately, these trends are continuing and are impacting the number of households experiencing homelessness and housing instability in our region. Until the underlying issues are addressed, these trends are likely to continue. More affordable housing in the region is desperately needed. Increased resources for mental health and substance use treatment are necessary. Policy solutions to expand housing development and increased funding for housing vouchers are solutions that will make sustainable progress possible."

It integrates affordable, permanent housing with access to comprehensive,voluntary support services designed to promote stability, independence, and dignity for individuals and families with the greatest needs. Residents of supportive housing benefit from intensive case management and are connected to critical services such as healthcare,workforce development,and child and family support. Unlike temporary housing solutions, supportive housing is permanent and does not impose time limits on residency. Supportive housing improves: • Housing stability • Employment • Mental and physical health • School attendance • Engagement with behavioral health services There are several populations of residents that would benefit from supportive housing in the City of Roanoke.These include elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with behavioral health needs, or persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Elderly(65 years of age of older) Elderly persons make up 18%of the population. Additionally: • 54%of elderly persons are living alone • 33% have a reported disability • 70%are home owners • 27%are cost burdened • 30%are renters • 55%are cost burdened • 92% receive social security income Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 55 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Elderly households have housing needs centered on maintaining affordable housing options. Many residents in this category also benefit from accessibility upgrades in their homes. Persons with disabilities: Federal nondiscrimination laws define a person with a disability to include any(1) individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individual with a record of such impairment; or(3) individual who is regarded as having such an impairment. In Roanoke, 18%of the population has a disability: • 3.3%with a hearing difficulty • 4.6%with a vision difficulty • 8.6%with a cognitive difficulty • 7.7%with an ambulatory difficulty • 2.3%with a self-care difficulty • 6.1%with an independent living difficulty Persons with Behavioral Health Needs Individuals with behavioral health needs often require a holistic approach to support their well-being, as their challenges extend beyond mental health care alone. Access to behavioral health services, including therapy, medication management, and crisis intervention, is crucial for stability,yet many face barriers such as provider shortages, long wait times, and high costs. Reliable transportation is essential to ensuring they can attend medical appointments, therapy sessions, and access community resources. Stable and affordable housing is another critical need,as housing insecurity can exacerbate mental health conditions and make it difficult to adhere to treatment plans. In Roanoke, a new service is available to women with high-risk pregnancies who are struggling with substance use. The Grove on Patterson will serve as a housing facility and treatment center. One key feature of this program will be keeping parents together with their children during treatment. Additionally, access to nutritious food plays a significant role in overall health and well-being, as poor nutrition can contribute to mood disorders and other physical health issues. Comprehensive support systems, including case management and peer support, are vital in helping individuals with behavioral health needs maintain stability and improve their quality of life. Persons Living with HIV/AIDS SEE DESCRIPTION BELOW Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 56 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? The non-homeless special needs populations in the City of Roanoke have a wide range of service needs, including transitional housing, supportive housing, accessible housing, counseling, case management, transportation to healthcare facilities, and low barrier access to behavioral health services. All special needs populations require individualized consideration. While many persons within the special needs population do not rely on governmental assistance, some do. Extensive engagement with these target populations and service providers was conducted to gain better understanding of these needs. Community surveys were administered to gain direct input from these populations. Engagement at key community events allowed for direct, personal feedback on needs. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: The Council of Community Services administers Ryan White and HOPWA grants, which are both key funding sources that supply supportive services, medical needs,and housing assistance to low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), provides a comprehensive system of care for people living with HIV who are uninsured or underinsured. Key features of this funding include: • Funds are used to cover medical care, medications, mental health services, dental care, and support services. • Focuses on people with low incomes. • Helps clients stay in care and adhere to treatment, aiming for viral suppression. • Supports services like case management,transportation, and housing assistance when those services are linked to improved health outcomes. For the most recent program year, CCS served about 101 households with just under$300,000 in rent and utility assistance.The service area includes:Alleghany, Bland, Botetourt, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, and Roanoke. The HOPWA program, administered by HUD, provides housing assistance and supportive services to low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Key Features: Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 57 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) • Supports stable housing as a foundation for accessing health care and other needed services. • Eligible activities include: • Tenant-based rental assistance(TBRA) • Short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance (STRMU) • Permanent Housing Placement(PHP) • Facility-based housing(like group homes or SROs) • Supportive services (case management,transportation, etc.) • Aims to reduce housing instability and homelessness among people living with HIV. For the most recent calendar year, CCS served: • TBRA: 6 individuals in 4 households • STRMU: 75 individuals in 57 households • PHP: 11 individuals in 7 households If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii)) The City does not intend to use HOME funds for a TBRA activity. Discussion: Non-homeless special needs populations, including the elderly, individuals with disabilities,those living with HIV/AIDS, and those with behavioral health needs, require a range of supportive services to maintain stability and quality of life.The elderly often need assistance with daily living activities, healthcare access,transportation, and social engagement to prevent isolation. Individuals with disabilities may require accessible housing, specialized healthcare, employment support, and mobility assistance.Those living with HIV/AIDS benefit from medical care, case management, access to nutritious food, and supportive housing to ensure treatment adherence and overall well-being. Individuals with behavioral health needs require access to mental health services, stable housing, reliable transportation, and social supports to promote recovery and independence. Coordinated social services and community-based programs as well as low-barrier access to services that can address acute needs are critical to addressing these diverse needs.The City will work towards addressing these needs by targeting future funding towards public service opportunities.

In conjunction with the Needs Assessment,the Market Analysis will provide the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered. The Housing Market Analysis provides information on: • Significant characteristics of the City of Roanoke's housing market in general, including the supply, demand, condition, and cost of housing • Housing stock available to serve persons with disabilities and other special needs • Condition and need of public and assisted housing • A brief inventory of facilities, housing, and services to meet the needs of homeless persons • Regulatory barriers to affordable housing • Significant characteristics of the jurisdiction's economy Economic Landscape From a historical perspective,the region's economy has been based on the railroad, traditional manufacturing, and resource extraction. Changes in the economy since the 1990s have resulted in a new perspective on the need to diversify the regional economy. Although manufacturing employment in the region has declined since the 1980's, it is still an important sector in our regional economy. Economic development organizations are now trying to attract firms that are considered "advanced manufacturing", which provide higher wages for employees. Healthcare-related services now represent the largest employment sector in the region. Approximately 15%of employment is related to hospitals and healthcare-oriented organizations. The region is also trying to develop an "entrepreneurial eco- system" that will help attract new start-ups, particularly in the area of technology. Local governments, the Roanoke Regional Partnership, the Chamber of Commerce and the RVARC are working with the Roanoke Blacksburg Technology Council to identify and address key issues that inhibit great entrepreneurial development. Finally,tourism is becoming a major element in the regional economy. The region is working cooperatively to promote outdoor amenities for tourists, which include events such as the Blue Ridge Marathon,the Gran Fondo bicycle races, and the Go Outside Festival (CEDS, 2024 Annual Update). Future Development Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 61 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The City of Roanoke is 42 square miles in area with much of that land already developed.The land that remains is either park space (e.g., Mill Mountain) or land that is steep, in a flood zone, has access issues, or is otherwise difficult to use. Growth needs to occur through the preservation and reuse of existing buildings and infrastructure. Where new development or redevelopment occurs, it should be done in a manner that is sensitive to the surrounding community. One of the benefits with developing within an existing community is that ability to make use of the existing infrastructure (i.e., streets,water and sewer systems, electrical distribution,etc.).To gain that advantage, existing infrastructure needs to be maintained and improved to allow for growth. Recognizing the benefits and challenges of growth within the existing built form of the City of Roanoke is the best possible path forward to serve both existing and future generations and making the City a vibrant place to live, learn,work, play, and visit (City Plan 2040). Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 62 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) MA-10 Number of Housing Units— 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction The United States needs more housing and more varied housing to meet households' needs throughout the country. Some economists estimate that one consequence of the 2008 foreclosure crisis was the slow rebound in home construction while household growth continued, resulting in the underproduction of housing by more than 3 million units.A housing study published in 2020 by the Roanoke Valley Allegheny Regional Commission (RVARC) reports a significant deficit in housing stock for that would be affordable for those at or below 30%AMI (3,569 units). The consequences of inadequate supply are higher housing costs for renting or buying a home. More than 37 million renter and owner households spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing in 2019. In the years prior to the pandemic, low-interest rates for mortgage loans and increasing incomes, not lower home values, had reduced owner cost burden. For renters, increasing incomes were matched by rising rents, maintaining cost burdens despite a strong economy. (Opportunities to Increase Housing Production and Preservation HUD PD&R, 2021) According to the 2016-2020 ACS data summarized below,there are an estimated 46,990 total units, which is a decrease of 325 units from the 2011-2015 ACS data from the previous Consolidated Plan, in which 47,315 units were reported.There are 21,795 owner occupied housing units and 19,895 renter- occupied units.A housing vacancy rate of 11% is significantly higher than the healthy market range, suggesting a mismatch between the existing housing stock and community needs (Citywide Housing Study, RVARC 2020). See attached text for definition of vacancy.This may indicate that available units are either unaffordable, in poor condition, or otherwise unsuitable for the local population. The most common type of residential property is ingle unit, detached dwellings (29,540) which comprise 63%of the City's total housing inventory,followed by buildings containing 5-19 units (7,090), which make up 15%of housing stock. 2016-2020 ACS data reports that 78%of owner-occupied dwelling units in the City are 3-bedroom or larger, 21%are 2-bedroom, and only 1%are one-or no-bedroom units. Renter-housing is predominately 2-bedroom units (41%),followed by 3 or more-bedroom units at 32%, and one-bedroom or no bedroom units 26%of the rental units. In 2023,there were 6,329 studio or 1-bedroom units (30.2%of all rented units and 31,985 one and two person households in Roanoke (73.6%of all households) (Housing Needs Assessment, Local Housing Solutions). It will be important for the City to ensure the "right-size" affordable housing is developed; ensuring the development and availability of unit sizes that match household size will be a priority for the City.

Vacancy is defined by the Census across seven ditterent categories which include: • Units Actively Listed for Rent • Units Rented,but Not Yet Occupied • Units Actively Listed for Sale • Units Sold,but Not Yet Occupied • Units for Seasonal/Recreational Use • Units for Migrant Workers • Other Vacant To calculate Roanoke's total vacancy across all categories,the Census sums each category together and divides by the total number of housing units in the city.This vacancy rate provides an estimate of all housing units that are not occupied at the time the Census interview takes plate regardless of whether the unit is actively being marketed or even habitable.

Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority owns and operates approximately 1,282 units of public housing and administers approximately 2,067 units of Housing Choice Vouchers(formerly called Section 8 vouchers). RRHA also owns and operates 24 units of housing that are supported with Section 8 vouchers. In addition, RRHA manages 119 units of rental housing that are part of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits program. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. RRHA intends to apply for the disposition of land in the Indian Rock Village Development (24 units). Tenants in these units will be relocated or given vouchers; RRHA will follow the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act in relocating tenants.Additionally, the Emergency Housing Vouchers are set to expire in in 2026. For the City of Roanoke,there are currently 27 households that are utilizing the EHV.The vouchers provided rental subsidy to individuals and families who were experiencing homelessness. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Roanoke faces a significant housing mismatch, where the existing housing stock fails to meet the needs of its residents, particularly those living in poverty or on fixed incomes. As of 2023, 19.7%of the city's population lives below the poverty line,with even higher rates among residents with disabilities at 25.8%. Over half of the city's 22,078 renter households are cost-burdened, spending more than 30%of their income on housing, and many pay over 50%, indicating severe financial strain. The quality of available housing exacerbates the issue. Many affordable units are in substandard condition,featuring hazards such as exposed wiring, lead paint, and structural damage. An 11%vacancy rate suggests a surplus of units that are either unaffordable or uninhabitable for many residents.This Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 65 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) situation is particularly dire for the over 4,000 families on the Housing Choice Voucher waitlist,who struggle to find suitable housing despite available assistance. The city's aging housing stock and lack of investment in maintenance have led to increased blight and vacancy, especially in historically underserved neighborhoods. Addressing this crisis requires coordinated efforts to increase the availability of safe, affordable housing and to rehabilitate existing structures to meet the needs of Roanoke's diverse population. Describe the need for specific types of housing: Roanoke needs affordable housing units that ensure that low-to moderate-income residents spend no more than 30%of their monthly income on housing expenses. While there has been an increase in the amount of new housing units in the community, it does not meet the financial needs of the community's residents most vulnerable to housing instability. It is critical to understand how the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) evaluates income within a community. HUD sets income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs, including the Public Housing, Section 8 project-based,Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Section 202 housing for the elderly, and Section 811 housing for persons with disabilities. HUD develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each non-metropolitan county. A family in the City is considered low-to moderate-income if they make • $50,750 as a single-person household • $58,000 as a two-person household • $65,250 as a three-person household • $72,500 as a four-person household • $78,300 as a five-person household • $84,100 as a six-person household Residents who fall within these income categories may have unique difficulties. When developing affordable housing units, it will be critical for the City to ensure the development of accessible units as well. Discussion There is a continuing need for"affordable" and "accessible" housing in the City of Roanoke. Much of the existing housing is sound and there appears to be an adequate supply of market-rate housing. However, housing opportunities are lacking for the lower income renters and homebuyers in the City.Low-income homeowners with high housing cost burdens need housing rehabilitation programs to bring their dwellings up to code standards, make them energy efficient and help them reduce their cost burdens. Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 66 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Low-income renters with housing problems, including high housing cost burdens, need access to quality affordable rental housing.

Key findings acknowledge the rising cost of housing for City of Roanoke residents: • Median rents are increasing. In 2018,the median gross rent increased 15%since 2013.The average rent for a single-family home is less than rents in multifamily buildings. • There is a significant difference in cost burdened households when comparing owners and renters.Approximately 26%of owner households are experiencing some level of cost burden compared to 47%of renters. • The number of renter households that qualify for affordable rental housing at the 30%AMI level outstrips the number of units available at that price point. There is a projected deficit of 3,570 units, which means that many ELI households are having to spend more than is recommended on housing, limiting a household's ability to afford other essential needs and ultimately hindering economic mobility and overall well-being. • A key constraint is the shrinking of financial resources available to local governments to address housing and housing affordability issues. Housing programs are limited,forcing all levels of government to make decisions for how to prioritize limiting(and in some cases shrinking) funding.

The FHFA HPI is a weighted, repeat-sales index, meaning that it measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same properties.This information is obtained by reviewing repeat mortgage transactions on single-family properties whose mortgages have been purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac since January 1975.The FHFA HPI serves as a timely, accurate indicator of house price trends at various geographic levels. Because of the breadth of the sample, it provides more information than is available in other house price indexes. It also provides housing economists with an improved analytical tool that is useful for estimating changes in the rates of mortgage defaults, prepayments, and housing affordability in specific geographic areas. The FHFA HPI Calculator is available on the FHFA website and provides data on the increase of house prices in Roanoke measured quarterly. A quick calculation for a home purchased in 2023 Quarter 1 for $134,900 and sold in 2024 Quarter 3 would have an appreciation of 16.92%and have an estimated value of$157,720. Continued housing cost increases will result in households that cannot maintain the aging housing stock, reduce the ability of renters to transition to homeownership,and cause the existing residents to be unable to purchase homes inside the City.

Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 69 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The lack of affordable housing impacts low-and moderate-income residents the greatest.aAAAAAL-The steadily increasing rent costs compound the financial struggles that these families are at risk of experiencing. Additionally,the growing need for new rental housing units and aged housing unit stock results in many renters living in substandard housing conditions. According to data from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a significant gap exists between the number of people who need housing subsidies and the number who actually receive them, with estimates suggesting that around 77%of low-income renters who need federal rental assistance do not receive it; meaning a vast majority of those eligible for housing subsidies do not get them.This is reflected in the Housing Authority's waitlists. AFFORDABLE, BUT NOT AVAILABLE Homes that are affordable to extremely low-income renters are not necessarily available to them. In the private market, households can occupy homes that cost less than 30%of their incomes, and many do. When higher-income households occupy rental homes also affordable to lower-income households, they render those homes unavailable to the lower-income households. Extremely low-income renters must compete with all higher-income households for the limited number of rental homes affordable to them in the private market.To truly measure the housing options extremely low-income renters have, we must account for the fact that higher-income renters occupy some of the most affordable units. Rental homes are both affordable and available for households of a specific income group if the homes are affordable to them and they are not occupied by higher-income households. EXTREMELY LOW-INCOME RENTERS The vast majority of extremely low-income renters work in low-wage jobs or are unable to work.With wages insufficient to pay for modest rental housing even when individuals work full-time year-round, a brief furlough or loss of hours, as we have seen over the past year, can create debts that renters can never repay. Extremely low-income renters in the labor force, many already struggling to pay their rents before the pandemic, were significantly impacted by COVID-19. Low-wage work comprised a disproportionate share of industries most affected by COVID-19 shutdowns. Extremely low-income renters were likely impacted by the closures of restaurants, hotels, and other places of low-wage employment. (The Gap,A Shortage of Affordable Homes, National Low Income Housing Coalition, March 2021) How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? With a median home value of$134,900(2016-2020 CHAS) it appears that the City's housing stock is "affordable"compared to state and national averages(state: $426,000; national: $420,500).However, the following housing "affordability" issues need to be addressed: Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 70 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 1. A considerable amount of the affordable housing stock in Roanoke is old (built prior to 1980) and older houses are more expensive to maintain and often need rehabilitation; 1. LMI households in Roanoke are shown to be cost burdened, and such households often have difficulties obtaining housing that is both affordable for their situation and in decent condition; and 1. It is likely that rental rates will continue to increase. Rental Housing Stability As the economy improves, rental prices continue to increase.The trend over the past decade has been a higher rental increase than the increase in monthly wages.As this trend continues, it puts more significant financial pressure on low- and moderate-income families who are spending an ever- increasing percentage of their income on housing costs. As higher-income renters and distressed homeowners seek cheaper alternatives to their current housing, competition for less expensive rental homes may actually increase. Meanwhile, few of the lowest-income renters have the option of leaving the rental market altogether. Consequently, rents for the least expensive homes may be less responsive to economic downturns, and in some cases,they could even increase because of greater demand. Even if rents at the bottom-end of the market fall during a downturn, they will not fall sufficiently to provide extremely low-income renters with adequate supply of affordable housing. Owners have an incentive to abandon their rental properties or convert them to other uses when rental income is too low to cover basic operating costs and maintenance.They have little incentive to provide housing in the private market at rents that are affordable to extremely low-income renters. During periods of economic growth, the private market on its own still does not provide an adequate supply of rental housing affordable to low-income households.The rents that the lowest-income households can afford to pay typically do not cover the development costs and operating expenses of new housing. While new construction for higher-income renters encourages a chain of household moves that eventually benefits lower-income renters, new luxury units may not impact rents at the bottom of the market as much as they do rents at the top. (The Gap,A Shortage of Affordable Homes, National Low Income Housing Coalition, March 2021) See attached for Homeowner Housing Stability. How do HOME rents/ Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? One of the major challenges faced by rental assistance programs is the difficulty in finding units that meet Fair Market Rent(FMR) guidelines. In many rental markets, especially those experiencing high demand and limited supply,the majority of available units are priced significantly above FMR.This Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 71 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) creates a barrier for programs that are required to adhere to FMR limits when using federal or grant funds, effectively narrowing the pool of eligible housing options.As a result, agencies struggle to place clients into stable housing, and grant funds often go unspent—not due to a lack of need, but because the cost of available units exceeds program limits.This disconnect between market realities and funding regulations undermines the ability of programs to assist those in need and reduces the overall impact of rental assistance efforts.This challenge has been highlighted through the stakeholder consultation process. It is crucial for the city to make intentional investments in the development of affordable housing. Discussion The need is for the City to encourage the rehabilitation and preservation of existing rental housing to ensure that these affordable units are also in good condition. New construction of affordable rental housing may only be successful to the extent that the production of such units can be subsidized to enable them to remain affordable and to the extent that existing rental housing is seen as substandard and undesirable. Quality Affordable Homes Critical to Good Health Ensuring enough affordable homes are available can lead to healthier families and communities. When rents are high, families prioritize rent and utilities over food and health care, even when serious health conditions are part of the picture. Stable,safe, and well-maintained housing can also decrease exposure to environmental hazards like mold, lead, or pests, which are linked to chronic illnesses.Additionally, housing stability helps individuals maintain consistent access to healthcare providers and medications, leading to improved overall well-being and fewer emergency interventions. Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 72 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing—91.210(a) Introduction Describe the jurisdiction's definition of"standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation": For this Consolidated Plan,the City of Roanoke will also use the HUD housing quality standards as defined below: 1.Standard Condition.A unit of housing is considered to be in standard condition if it is generally in good repair, with no substandard habitability elements (i.e., lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities)or exterior elements. Such units may be eligible for housing rehabilitation funding if interior conditions are such that the HUD Section 8 Housing Quality Standards are not met,or a threat to the integrity or livability of the unit exists and should be addressed. Examples of ways in which the interiors of such homes might be rehabilitated include the replacement of heating systems, electrical system repairs or upgrades, plumbing system repairs or upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and accessibility improvements. 2.Substandard Condition but Suitable for Rehabilitation.This category describes dwelling units that do not meet one or more of the HUD Section 8 quality standard conditions, likely due to deferred maintenance or work without permits, but that is both financially and structurally feasible for rehabilitation. Such units may be lacking complete plumbing and kitchen facilities and/or may have exterior elements in need of repair(e.g.,a roof in need of replacement, siding in need of repair or replacement, missing or failing foundation). In order to be suitable for rehabilitation, the unit value generally exceeds the cost of repairs or upgrades that would be required to bring it to standard condition.This category of property does not include units that need correction or minor livability problems or maintenance work. 3.Substandard Condition and Not Suitable for Rehabilitation.This category describes dwelling units in such poor conditions as to be neither structurally nor financially feasible for rehabilitation. Such units will typically have an improvement value that is less than the cost of addressing the habitability and exterior elements that cause its classification as "substandard" or will be considered unfit to occupy for safety reasons by the city's building official. The table below displays the number of housing units, by tenure, based on the number of"conditions" the unit has. Selected conditions are similar to housing problems in the Needs Assessment: are(1) lacks complete plumbing facilities, (2) lacks complete kitchen facilities, (3) more than one person per room, and (4)cost burden greater than 30%.

High lead levels can cause many health problems by damaging the brain, nervous system, and kidneys. Lead poisoning can cause decreased intelligence, behavioral and speech problems, anemia, decreased muscle and bone growth, poor muscle coordination, and hearing damage. Lead exposures remain prevalent despite considerable knowledge and increased screening and intervention efforts. Increased lead exposure and increased body burden of lead remain a significant problem for children in the United States. Lead is an environmental toxicant that may cause adverse health effects to the nervous, hematopoietic, endocrine, renal, and reproductive systems. Lead exposure in young children is particularly hazardous because children absorb lead more readily than adults. Many children exposed to lead do not exhibit any signs of the disease.The child's signs or symptoms could be mistaken for other illnesses, and the child goes undiagnosed.The developing nervous system of children is particularly more susceptible to the effects of lead.The underdeveloped blood-brain barrier in young children increases the risk of lead entering the developing nervous system resulting in neurobehavioral disorders. Blood lead levels(BLLs) at any detectable level have been shown to cause behavioral and developmental disorders; therefore, no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. It is increasingly important for continued childhood lead poisoning prevention education and awareness. Lead-contaminated water, soil, and paint have been recognized as potential sources of children's lead exposure. Dust from deteriorating lead-based paint is considered the largest contributor to the lead problem. Until the 1950s, many homes were covered inside and out with leaded paints. Lead began to fall from favor in the 1950s but was still commonly used until it was banned in homes after 1977. Because of the long-term use of lead-based paints, many homes in the United States contain surfaces with paint that is now peeling, chalking,flaking, or wearing away.The dust or paint chips contain high levels of lead that easily find ways into the mouths of young children.A particular problem has emerged due to many homes with lead-based paints, which are now undergoing renovations. Often the dust created by this work has high lead levels, which are readily absorbed by the children's developing bodies. Roanoke has a considerable amount of housing built before 1980 that has the potential to be hazardous to children.The 2016-2020 CHAS estimates that 17,350 owner-occupied units were built before 1980, Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 75 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) with approximately 7%(1,540)of all units have children living in them. It's estimated that 15,220 renter-occupied units were built before 1980,with approximately 3%(500)of all rental units built before 1980 with children present. It's important to note the number of unreported/undetected cases of childhood lead poisoning is unknown, and the low number of reported cases should not be misconstrued as evidence that lead poisoning is not more widespread. Discussion The high percentage of older units(built before 1980) in both owner and rental stock suggests a strong need for rehabilitation due to aging infrastructure, outdated systems(plumbing,electrical, HVAC), and potential health hazards(lead paint, asbestos, etc.). Housing rehabilitation funds should prioritize homes built before 1980,with special attention to pre-1950 homes, which are at higher risk of structural deterioration and environmental hazards. Some program considerations would be providing incentives or grants for repairs to improve rental properties. For homeowners, providing low-interest rehabilitation loans or grant will help maintain housing stability. Given the age of homes in the City,the risk of lead exposure remains a concern, particularly for young children who are most vulnerable to its harmful effects. Additionally,the true extent of childhood lead poisoning in Roanoke is uncertain, as unreported or undetected cases may contribute to a more widespread issue than current data suggests. Therefore, efforts to assess and mitigate lead hazards in older housing should remain a priority for public health and housing initiatives.

Nonprofits, community organizations, and response networks throughout the region continue to collaborate in their efforts to provide housing and critical support services to individuals and families experiencing housing instability and homelessness. The list below outlines the various degrees of housing instability. Imminent Risk of Homelessness:A person or family who will lose their primary nighttime residence within 14 days. Precariously Housed/at-risk of homelessness: A person or family who lack a fixed, regular nighttime residence or is being asked to leave their current living situation. This person likely has an income at or below 30%AMI and insufficient resources or support networks. Fleeing/Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence:A person or family that is fleeing or is attempting to flee domestic or dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking. Literally Homeless: A person or a family who lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.Typically, this means living in a place not meant for habitation or in an emergency shelter. Chronically Homeless:A person or family who has experienced homelessness for at least 12 months consecutively or had 4 episodes of homelessness in the last 3 years (episodes that total 12 months or more)—while having a disabling condition.

Roanoke has a variety of providers that work to support homelessness services, some of which are delivered by local governments and some by regional non- profits. Below are some key service providers,although this is not an exhaustive list: Health Services: Bradley Free Clinic—provides medical, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health services to individuals who are homeless, low-income, uninsured, and/or underinsured Fralin Free Clinic—provide primary and preventive care to those at-risk of being homeless or are currently homeless; priority is to those who are uninsured VA Harm Reduction Coalition—provides health and education services; address health inequities faced by people who use drugs (PWUD) by providing outreach to marginalized, stigmatized, and criminalized populations, advocating for health policies that address their specific needs, and collaborating with other agencies to effectively meet those needs.

Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 85 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d) Introduction Everyone needs safe, decent, stable housing. For Roanoke's most vulnerable populations—including individuals experiencing mental illness,chronic health conditions, and the lasting effects of trauma— stable housing serves as a critical foundation for accessing treatment and beginning the path to recovery. However, certain conditions can make it challenging for individuals to sustain housing without targeted support. Supportive housing, which combines affordable housing with intensive, coordinated services, is a proven and effective intervention that addresses these needs and promotes long-term housing stability. A broad body of research shows that supportive housing effectively helps people with disabilities maintain stable housing. People in supportive housing use costly systems like emergency health services less frequently and are less likely to be incarcerated. Supportive housing also can aid people with disabilities in getting better health care and help seniors trying to stay in the community as they age and families trying to keep their children out of foster care. Supportive housing is a highly effective strategy that combines affordable housing with intensive coordinated services to help people struggling with chronic physical and mental health issues maintain stable housing and receive appropriate health care. Permanence and affordability.Tenants generally pay no more than 30 percent of their income for rent. They have the same rights and responsibilities as other renters, such as having the lease in their name and the right to privacy in their unit, which means they cannot be evicted for reasons unrelated to being a good tenant. Integration. Individuals and families are able to live independently in apartments or single-family homes in residential neighborhoods.Tenants in supportive housing should have access to public transportation, grocery stores, parks, and other neighborhood amenities common to all other residents. (Less accessible services put tenants' housing and health at risk: if they are unable to travel to providers' offices, for instance,they may stop using the services.) Emphasis on choice. Supportive housing maximizes client choice, in clients' housing options and the services they receive. For instance,tenants can generally come and go as they please and have control over their daily schedule, like mealtimes and visitors.They also can direct the types of services they receive and the goals they set with the service provider. Low barriers to entry. Supportive housing providers do not require clients to hit benchmarks before moving into housing or put other screening barriers in the way. Blanket bans on people with criminal histories or bad credit,for example, or requirements to meet goals, like employment or completing a course of treatment, before entering supportive housing would screen out the very people supportive housing aims to help. Individuals and families are able to live independently in apartments or single- Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 86 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) family homes in residential neighborhoods.(Supportive Housing Helps Vulnerable People Live and Thrive in the Community"Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 2016) Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs Elderly and Frail Elderly. Supportive housing needs may include health care coordination and medication management, personal care assistance with daily activities such as bathing and dressing, and access to nutritious home-delivered meals. Reliable transportation is essential for attending medical appointments and running errands, while housekeeping and home maintenance support help ensure a safe living environment. Many older adults also benefit from case management and assistance with navigating benefits like Medicare or Social Security.To address social isolation and mental health challenges, services such as counseling and recreational programs are critical, along with accessibility modifications and emergency alert systems to support safety and mobility. Legal and financial guidance can further assist seniors in managing their affairs, particularly those living on fixed incomes. Disability. Individuals with disabilities often require a variety of supportive services to promote independence, stability, and overall well-being.These services may include assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, as well as care coordination to manage complex medical needs and access to specialized healthcare.Accessible transportation is crucial for attending appointments, securing employment, or participating in community life. Many also benefit from case management to navigate public benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, or housing assistance. Mental health services, peer support, and recreational opportunities can help reduce isolation and support emotional well-being. Home modifications such as wheelchair ramps, grab bars, or adaptive technologies may be necessary to ensure safety and accessibility within the home. Legal and financial advocacy may also be needed to protect rights and ensure long-term housing and income stability. Substance Use Disorders. Individuals with substance use disorders often require a range of supportive services to achieve stability, recovery, and long-term well-being.These services may include access to treatment programs such as outpatient counseling, medication-assisted treatment, or inpatient rehabilitation, as well as ongoing recovery support like peer mentoring and relapse prevention services. Case management is critical to help individuals navigate healthcare systems, obtain benefits, and secure stable housing. Mental health services are often essential, as many individuals experience co-occurring disorders that require integrated care. Transportation assistance can help ensure access to treatment, Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 87 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) employment, and community resources.Additionally,employment support, life skills training, and legal advocacy can assist individuals in rebuilding their lives and maintaining long-term recovery.

Single-family zoning limits the type and density of housing that can be built in many communities, effectively excluding more affordable multi-family developments and reducing the overall housing supply. In September 2024, Roanoke City Council voted in favor of zoning amendments that will boost affordable housing options by permitting more development of multi-family units.While the City feels the approach is in the best interest of its residents, new city council members are hoping to revisit these changes. Meanwhile,frequent updates to building codes—often focused on energy efficiency or safety—can add layers of complexity and cost to projects, making it more difficult for affordable housing developers to keep units within budget. Additionally,the piecemeal and competitive nature of affordable housing funding, along with rising construction costs,often results in delays and financing gaps that further drive-up development expenses.Together, these policies create substantial barriers that hinder the production of affordable housing at the scale and speed needed to meet growing demand.

The business activity table for Roanoke,Virginia, provides valuable insight into the city's employment landscape, highlighting both dominant sectors and potential gaps between available jobs and workforce distribution. Major Employment Sectors Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 92 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) • Education and Health Care Services is by far the largest employment sector, accounting for 23% of all jobs and employing 8,200 workers. This sector also shows a +2%gap, indicating more jobs than workers, and suggesting ongoing demand for skilled professionals. • Retail Trade follows, representing 13%of jobs and 5,158 workers, although it shows a -1%gap, meaning there are slightly fewer workers than jobs. • Arts, Entertainment,and Accommodations make up 11%of jobs and 13%of workers, though it shows a -2%gap, which may reflect high turnover or seasonal variation. • Professional, Scientific, and Management Services and Manufacturing also play significant roles, accounting for 9%and 6%of jobs, respectively. Notable Gaps • Manufacturing stands out with a -3%gap, suggesting that this sector has more jobs than available workers—indicating a need for skilled labor recruitment or training initiatives. • Transportation and Warehousing and Construction each show a +2%gap, with more jobs than workers, indicating potential areas for workforce development and job training. • Public Administration appears to have no workers or jobs listed, which may be due to data exclusion or classification under another entity such as state or federal employment. Balanced or Overlapping Sectors • Sectors like Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate, Information, and Wholesale Trade show a balanced alignment between workforce and job share. • Other Services (5%of workers vs. 5%of jobs) shows alignment as well,though it maintains a relatively small share of the total employment market. Roanoke's economy is clearly service-driven,with Education, Health Care, Retail,and Professional Services as key pillars. Sectors like Manufacturing, Construction, and Transportation offer room for workforce expansion or training. Addressing gaps in sectors where jobs outpace the workforce can help strengthen the local labor market and support continued economic development. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: Roanoke's business community is actively addressing workforce and infrastructure needs to support economic growth and competitiveness. Workforce Needs: Employers across sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and technology,are seeking skilled labor to meet current and future demands.To address this,the region offers various workforce development programs, such as custom training and talent development plans, provided by organizations like the Greater Roanoke Workforce Development Board.These initiatives aim to build a Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 93 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) robust talent pipeline and support businesses in recruiting and training qualified employees. Consultation with workforce development agencies also revealed a need to develop soft skills within the workforce. Soft skills include communication, adaptability, and work ethic. Infrastructure Needs: While Roanoke benefits from a well-connected transportation network, including major highways like Interstates 81 and 64,ongoing investment in infrastructure is essential.The city recognizes the importance of maintaining and enhancing its infrastructure to support business operations and attract new investments.This includes collaboration with agencies such as the Virginia Department of Transportation and utility companies to ensure the community's infrastructure meets current and future needs. Ensuring consistent and expansive hours for public transportation is also critical. By focusing on these areas, Roanoke aims to strengthen its economic foundation and provide a supportive environment for businesses to thrive. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The arrival of Amazon in Roanoke and Wells Fargo's announcement of 1,800 new jobs represent major economic milestones for the region.These investments are expected to boost local employment and generate increased consumer spending. Additionally, the influx of new jobs will likely expand the city's tax base and create opportunities for workforce development and upskilling to meet the demands of large employers.These developments signal strong confidence in Roanoke's economic potential and will help position the city as a competitive and attractive place to do business. However, a concern voiced by a local employment services agency is that these new positions will take away employees from surrounding businesses. Other challenges that may come include: Housing Market Pressure:The influx of new jobs and potentially higher wages could increase demand for housing.This might lead to rising property values and rent prices, making it more difficult for current residents, especially low-income individuals and families,to afford housing. Infrastructure Strain: With more employees and businesses coming to the region,there could be increased strain on local infrastructure,such as roads, public transportation, and utilities. If these developments outpace infrastructure upgrades, it may lead to traffic congestion, longer commutes,or pressure on water and sewer systems. Environmental Impact: More commercial and residential development could impact local ecosystems. Economic Dependency: A heavy reliance on large corporations like Amazon and Wells Fargo for job creation could make the local economy vulnerable to economic downturns or corporate restructuring. If Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 94 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) these companies decide to downsize or relocate in the future, it could have a significant impact on the regional economy. While the expansion offers substantial opportunities, careful planning and investment in housing, infrastructure, and workforce development will be crucial to mitigate potential challenges. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The Greater Roanoke Workforce Development Board (GRWDB) offers a variety of youth training programs aimed at preparing young individuals for successful careers.These programs are designed to provide hands-on experience,career readiness skills, and exposure to various industries. Programs include summer youth work,tech camp for young adults, and Career Quest, build career readiness and provide access to opportunities and networks that youth may not otherwise have. Additionally,the Thrive 2027 Strategic plan aims to boost the region's economic growth and enhance the competitiveness of the Roanoke Region to attract investment,jobs, and talent.The four goals identified are: • amplifying business recruitment and expansion efforts,strengthening technology and innovation, and generating high-paying jobs; • expand efforts to attract and retain in-demand talent; • advocate for the acceleration of commercial and industrial real estate development and advocate for infrastructure improvement and funding; and • reinforce the region's identity and competitive advantage as an outdoor destination, while highlighting other prominent lifestyle features and amenities, and supporting quality-of-life efforts.

(include a definition of"concentration") Roanoke has designated the Belmont-Fallon neighborhood as its current Community Development Target Area, focusing on revitalization efforts through concentrated investment.This area, located between I-581 and Fallon Park, from Tazewell Avenue south to Highland Avenue,was selected in 2019 for a five-year period of targeted development. The City allocates approximately$1.7 million annually in federal funds to this area, supporting initiatives such as new housing construction, rehabilitation of existing homes, infrastructure improvements, and economic development projects. Programs like the Residential Facade Improvement Program offer matching funds to property owners for exterior renovations, aiming to enhance the neighborhood's appearance and livability. These efforts are part of Roanoke's effort to improve housing conditions, increase homeownership, and foster community engagement in an area where multiple housing problems are concentrated.The Belmont-Fallon Target Area exemplifies the city's commitment to strategic, community-focused development. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated?

BRILC provides: • Independent Living Skill Training:Assistance in obtaining the skills needed to live independently, such as financial management, acquired social skills, household management, etc. • Peer Mentoring: Counseling for persons with disabilities by persons with disabilities. • Transition Services: Facilitate transition of youth to post-secondary life, from nursing homes and other institutions to the community, and prevent institutionalization. • Information & Referral: Information about assistive equipment, recreation, accessibility, legislation, and other disability-related issues. Referrals are also made to local service providers to assist individuals to locate resources needed to become or remain independent and in the community. BRILC conducts an annual survey on services people are most interested in receiving, and this year's top 5 services were: services to support independent living; affordable housing; personal assistance; transportation; and emergency preparedness. BRILC reports that many of the people they serve want independent living and while BRILC can help make a home accessible, there are not enough affordable options for people. About 18.5%of Roanoke residents have a disability, higher than the state average of 12.8%. Nearly 76%(1,568)of people identifying as disabled were enrolled in the Coordinated Entry System during the 2024 calendar year. Nationally, almost 50%of people experiencing homelessness live with some type of disability, at a rate 2.5 times higher than that of the general US population. Consolidated Plan ROANOKE 104 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) For individuals enrolled in CES, information on type of disability is: • 21% Physical • 10% Developmental • 35%Chronic Health Condition • .9% HIV/AIDS • 51%Mental Health Disorder • 30%Substance Use Disorder Nearly 70%of Roanoke residents over the age of 65 have a disability. US Census Data estimates that in 2020 the poverty rate for people with disabilities is approximately 27%, compared to 11%for persons without disabilities. Data from the National Disability Institute(NDI)shows that individuals with disabilities face higher levels of unemployment, lower education attainment, and more significant barriers to economic participation, contributing to this intersection of poverty and disability. An important component of assisting households that include someone living with a disability is to ensure connections to income supports and mainstream benefits. SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery(SOAR) is a program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and designed to increase access to Social Security Administration (SSA) disability benefits, Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI/SSDI), for eligible adults who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and have a mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder. Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare employs the local lead for this initiative, ensuring efficient access to these entitlements.

Single-family zoning limits the type and density of housing that can be built in many communities, effectively excluding more affordable multi-family developments and reducing the overall housing supply. In September 2024, Roanoke City Council voted in favor of zoning amendments that will boost affordable housing options by permitting more development of multi-family units. While the City feels the approach is in the best interest of its residents, new city council members are hoping to revisit these changes. Meanwhile,frequent updates to building codes—often focused on energy efficiency or safety—can add layers of complexity and cost to projects, making it more difficult for affordable housing developers to keep units within budget.Additionally,the piecemeal and competitive nature of affordable housing funding, along with rising construction costs,often results in delays and financing gaps that further drive-up development expenses.Together, these policies create substantial barriers that hinder the production of affordable housing at the scale and speed needed to meet growing demand.

NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that: 1. The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the City, to execute the necessary documents providing for the conveyance of following easements across City-owned property located at 1610 Burrell Street (Roanoke Official Tax Map No. 2031801), commonly known as Washington Park, to the Western Virginia Water Authority ("Authority"): (1) a permanent twenty foot (20') waterline easement, together with a ten foot (10') temporary construction easement; and (2) a variable width public sanitary sewer easement, together with a ten foot (10') temporary construction easement; all easements are approximately 20 feet in width and the purpose of the easements are to provide utility service by the Authority to surrounding properties, as more particularly set forth in the City Manager's Report dated May 19,2025. 2.

City Manager's Report Ati ry ' Submitted by: Ross Campbell, PE, Director ..4111110, Department of Public Works ROA N O K E May 19, 2025 Title: Execution of an easement to the Western.Virginia Water Authority for water and sewer distribution lines across Official Tax Map No. 2031801, belonging to the City of Roanoke. Background: The Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA) has requested that the City grant an easement for water and sewer lines across City-owned property identified as Tax Map No. 2031801 (commonly known as lower Washington Park). The easement would permit the WVWA to operate, maintain, repair, and replace water and sewer lines, valves, meters, and related infrastructure. The specific location of the proposed easement is detailed in the plat attached to this report. These utility lines were originally installed by the City prior to the establishment of the WVWA and without the formal dedication of an easement on the subject property. As part of the Washington Park Pool project, and during the Comprehensive Plan review process, the WVWA requested that an easement now be formally dedicated. The existing lines do not interfere with the pool improvements or other park amenities. Because these lines serve multiple customers throughout the City, a public hearing is required in accordance with Section 15.2-1800(B) of the Code of Virginia. Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents to grant the easement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

I ask that the City Clerk accept this statement and ask that it be made a part of the minutes of this meeting.

Background: The City of Roanoke is proposing an amendment to the FY 2024-2025 annual budget following a request from Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS). The proposed amendment includes an additional appropriation of$17,874,219 to RCPS to address a shortfall resulting from omission of rollover appropriations for multiyear capital projects. These funds will come from funds currently on-hand with RCPS. This funding is intended to support designated school projects for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025. Because this amendment exceeds one percent of the previously adopted annual budget, a public hearing is required prior to approval, in accordance with statutory requirements. The amendments are as follows: Original School General Fund Budget: $253,439,831 'Breckinridge Middle School gymnasium upgrades 170,290 Booker T Washington Building Renovations (HVAC and Electrical) 3,149,023 Fairview Elementary School new secure entrance vestibule construction 252,127 Fishwick Middle School Roof Replacement (partial cost) 15,492 Forest Park Academy paving 218,750 Patrick Henry High School interior painting 77,130 Preston Park Elementary new school building construction 5,655,000 Westside Elementary School new playground 300,000 William B.

The funds are intended to be allocated to support school projects and operational needs previously anticipated to be funded through rollover appropriations. Recommended Action: We recommend that you concur with the request of the School Board and adopt the amendment to the FY 2024-2025 Budget.
