The State of Hawai'i's CP provides background, direction, and a plan for how the State intends to administer HUD's Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), National Housing Trust Fund (HTF), Emergency Solution Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) to assist in meeting the housing needs of Hawai'i's citizens. HOME and HTF funds are allocated between three neighbor -island counties on a three year rotation.

The amendments to the CP, AAP and CPP reflected the allowed waivers for the CDBG-CV1 funds, changes in the County's project selection and funding allocation process and the actual projects utilizing the CDBG-CV1 funds. The amendments to these plans were available for a 5 day comment period from April 27 -May 4, 2020 for a substantial amendment as allowed under the COVID-19 waiver. On May 11, 2020, the County was notified of a second round of CDBG-CV2 funding allocation of $978,184.00 from the CARES Act.

Public and Private Agencies Consultation Meetings: As stated above, in September 2018, the County conducted Public Hearings island -wide to inform the public about the 2019 CDBG and 2018 HOME CHDO application process. Members of the public were provided with information on the CDBG and HOME CHDO programs. An overview of the draft priorities and goals were also presented.

Agency/entity responsible for preparing/administering the Consolidated Plan Describe the agency/entity responsible for preparing the Consolidated Plan and those responsible for administration of each grant program and funding source. Agency Role Name Department/Agency CDBG Administrator HAWAI'I COUNTY Office of Housing & Community Development HOME Administrator HAWAI'I COUNTY Office of Housing & Community Development HAWAI'I COUNTY Office of Housing & Community Development Table 1— Responsible Agencies Narrative (optional) The County of Hawai'i's Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) manages and administers the use of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds for the County. As the lead agency and direct recipient of CDBG funds, the OHCD is responsible to complete the planning and submission process for the County's CP. The State of Hawai'i is the recipient of the HOME, HTF, ESG, and HOPWAfunds and is therefore, required to submit a CP to HUD before it can receive these program funds. The County is not required to address the State's programs in its CP, but will reference and include portions of the State's CP as it relates to the County's housing -related and homeless needs. Although the County of Hawai'i is not a direct recipient of HOME and HTF funds, it does receive HOME and HTF funds from the State of Hawai'i, every three years. Thus the County's OHCD manages and administers the use of HOME and HTF program funds for the County.

Discussion Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 42 AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction The County's Consolidated Plan includes the HUD's "Performance Measures Model." The Model sets Objectives, Outcomes, Activities, Indicators, and Output for the next five years. Please see the attached Homeless Performance Measures Model Chart for the County's Homeless objectives. Chronic Homelessness is a priority of this administration and through the administration's efforts the West Hawai'i Chronic Homelessness Intervention and Rehabilitation Project (CHIRP) and the East Hawai'i Homeless Coalition was established. These new forums now bring the various County Departments to the table to develop collaborations between local government, nonprofit, and service providers. The County completed construction of 23 micro -housing units in West Hawai'i, in November 2016. These units will provide long-term permanent supportive housing for the chronic homeless. In addition to providing shelter, the OHCD is working with various service providers to provide the management of the site in addition to coordinating the needed health care services for these clients. In 2018, the County completed renovations to the Child and Family Services' Kona Domestic Abuse Shelter. This project enlarged and remodeled the kitchen, created an interior private office space, replaced flooring, replaced playground equipment to include a safety fall surface and repaired wood railings. Incidents of domestic violence have increased substantially in the past years. There has been a corresponding increase in the number of community members seeking services at the Kona Domestic Violence Shelter. With the increased usage at the shelter, the facility required more frequent maintenance, a larger kitchen to accommodate the victim's needs, and a private space for the staff to meet with victims. The long-term goal, for the shelter, is to prepare the victim for self-sufficiency and independence. Once the victims of domestic violence and their children are safe, transitioning them to permanent safe housing and providing and linking them to various services to accomplish these goals becomes the main focus. In 2018 the Shelter served 69 unduplicated families comprised of 69 women, and 63 children. The renovations that were completed in 2018 provided Child and Family Services with the needed support to meet their long-term shelter/program goals. The County plans to allocate a total of $1,575,750.00 of their 2019 CDBG allocation for the rehabilitation/renovation of 5 homeless shelters. The necessary rehabiliation/renovations includes but are not limited to, security enhancements, fencing, roof replacement, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, interior shelter renovations, energy saving activities, accessibility improvements, and building code compliance. Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 43 Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Hope Services Hawai'i, Inc. provides outreach services to assist the homeless persons. They provide outreach to beaches and/or various areas that the unsheltered homeless stay to deliver hygiene products and advise them of the support services that are available to them. Hope Services Hawai'i, Inc. also provides case management to homeless persons and works toward placing homeless persons into shelters until permanent housing becomes available. Hope Services Hawai'i, Inc. also provides meals for the homeless and transportation to appointments. In 2018, HOPE Services Hawai'i Inc., utilized CDBG funds to procure design consultants for renovations (re -roofing, accessibility improvements and kitchen improvements) to 2 of their homeless shelters. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The County has a plan to address the emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent housing needs of homeless persons in West Hawai'i. The County completed the West Hawai'i Emergency Shelter in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. The shelter has 31 rooms available for homeless persons. The rooms are filled to capacity every night. The County completed construction of 23 micro -housing units, in West Hawai'i, to provide long- term permanent supportive housing for the chronic homeless. The County's Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) retrofitted and delivered 40'x 8' shipping containers that were converted into 4 micro -housing units each. In addition to providing shelter, the OHCD is working with the various service providers and West Hawai'i Chronic Homelessness Intervention and Rehabilitation Project (CHIRP) participants to provide the management of the site in addition to coordinating the needed health care services for these clients. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The County's plan is to transition homeless persons from the West Hawai'i Emergency Shelter to the Ulu Wini transitional housing and then to the permanent rental units in Ulu Wini or other permanent housing units in West Hawai'i. The rental units at Ulu Wini provides Section 8 project -based vouchers Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 44 which will assist with rental subsidies, which is another program administered by the Office of Housing and Community Development. The goal is to prevent these individuals and families from becoming homeless again by providing them with case management, counseling, employment and life skills training. This allows for personal growth, family stability, job oportunities and self-sufficiency. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The County does not have a formal policy for individuals being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care. These individuals would normally fall under the State's jurisdiction and we as a County would follow the State's policy. However, under the County's Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, preference is given to applicants who are homeless, victims of domestic violence, aged -out foster care youths and families living in a transitional housing program. Discussion In respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs, the County has partially funded, Phase II, of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood rental housing project, developed by Hawai'i Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), with HOME funds. This project consists of 120 elderly rental housing units located in Hilo, Hawai'i. Phase I of the project consisting of 60 units, began in April, 2012 and was completed in March, 2014. Phase II of the project consists of 30 units and began construction in January, 2017. The construction of this project was completed in October 2017. Tenant occupancy started in November 2017. The County is providing nutritional and transportation services to the residents. Hawai'i Island Adult Care, Inc. (HIAC) is working with HICDC to relocate their program to the same site as the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Housing project. Once completed, the HIAC will provide an adult day care program to the residents of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Housing project, as well as to other seniors in the community. The HIAC program will further the health of the seniors by keeping them engaged, physically and mentally involved, and in the presence of trained personnel that can respond to their needs. The HIAC provides an adult day care program where elders attend for the day, spend time with peers in activities of interest and are a part of the community. In the past, the County has provided CDBG funds for the planning, design, site and infrastructure improvements for the HIAC project. In 2015, CDBG funds were provided for foundation and site improvements. 2016 and 2017 CDBG funds were provided to supplement the vertical construction of the facility. Construction to Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 45 the project began in February, 2017 and is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 46 AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j) Introduction: The major obstacles of producing affordable housing are the lack of financial resources, scarcity of developable land and the lack of infrastructure. The County has identified the following barriers and continue to address them in its quest to provide affordable housing. The following barriers are fees, charges, exactions, land use regulations, building codes, growth limitations and lack of resources. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The County will undertake the following to reduce and/or remove affordable housing barriers. • Continue to publicize and conduct fair housing workshops and seminars; • Ensure the topics of affordable housing and fair housing choice are fully addressed within the Wrong Door Network and all ADRCs (Aging and Disability Resource Centers); • Publicize and promote the existence of, and assistance through, the housing "doors" in the No Wrong Door Network; • Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for the addition or upgrading of accessibility requirements in major neighborhood and housing development projects; • Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for a visit ability requirements for all new housing construction (with the exception of ADUs and 'Ohana units); • Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for increased funding to help lower-income homeowners to cover the costs of modifications and renovations to make their home more accessible; • Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for actions to ensure the paraprofessional caretaking workforce is sufficient to meet the growing needs for long-term services and supports (LTSS) and Home and Community-based Services (HCBS); • Collaborate with public and private providers of services to people with the most severe disabilities to support their access to appropriate housing; • Coordinate landlord forums and promote benefits of its rental assistance program; • Represent homeless needs to State agencies to encourage mainstream resourcing to address homelessness; • Administer Fair Housing training to participants island -wide; • Support authorized exemption, pursuant to Hawai'i Revise Statutes 46-15 to assist in expediting the development of affordable housing projects; • Continue to maintain a housing website to increase housing and program information; • Continue to revise Hawai'i County Code, Chapter 11 to promote development of affordable Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 47 housing; • Provide legislature recommendations to preserve affordable housing development and funding opportunities; • Provide resource information at community development planning meetings that are representative of at -risk population housing needs; • Continue to amend and/or streamline the General plan land use regulations and process; • Continue to support applications for and to encourage funding agencies to approve start up and capacity building grants; • Continue to review and update the County building code and recommend the elimination or modification of onerous codes that do not affect health and safety; Discussion: It is very expensive to build affordable homes for the extremely -low, very low, and low-income families in Hawai'i. Without requirements for accessibility the choice for people with disabilities continues to worsen. The strengths of the affordable housing delivery system in the County is derived from the many different entities striving toward one common goal: to provide for more affordable housing in Hawai'i. This will require a similar effort to provide accessible affordable housing. State, Federal and County agencies, private non -profits, private social service providers, private lenders and private for-profit developers are doing their part to respond to the urgency of the housing situation in Hawai'i. New programs are continually being established to form tax incentives, low-interest interim financing, bond financing, rental subsidies and other creative development techniques to provide accessible affordable housing. Despite all of these efforts, the availability of affordable housing will not be developed unless massive funding is available. Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 48 AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: One of the conditions to receiving Community Planning and Development (CPD) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD) such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs and the National Housing Trust Program (HTF), is that grantees, such as the County of Hawai'i, are required to affirmatively further the purposes of the Fair Housing Act. To help identify impediments to fair housing choice, grantees conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) that analyzes existing conditions affecting fair housing, identifies impediments to fair housing, and proposes an action plan outlining steps to reduce the impediments. Generally, the Al is updated every five years to coincide with the Consolidated Plan. HUD recently implemented its new Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) Tool, intended to replace the Al; the anticipated implementation of the AFH is for the next five-year Consolidated Plan period of PY2020-2024. In the interim, the State Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC), in collaboration with other state and county agencies and with HUD guidance, elected to conduct an Al focused on the state's most prevalent fair housing complaint. In Hawai'i, disability issues are the most common basis for fair housing complaints. On behalf of the collaborative group, HHFDC contracted with the University of Hawai'i's Center on Disability Studies to conduct an Al focused on impediments facing people with disabilities. The Al was completed in November, 2016. The Al identified substantial impediments to fair housing choice facing people with disabilities in Hawai'i as 1) a lack of knowledge on the part of people with disabilities, the general public, landlords and property managers about legal requirements and available resources to support people with disabilities; 2) people with disabilities have tremendous difficulties obtaining affordable housing that is accessible; 3) personnel lack attitude, skills and knowledge to serve and support people with disabilities in the housing, social service, medical, caretaking, and related fields; and 4) service systems are not well -coordinated to support people with disabilities, especially those with serious cognitive disabilities, to obtain and retain suitable housing. The Al also proposed action steps for the next five years that may help to address the issues. The 2016 Al may be viewed at the County of Hawai'i's website: http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/weblink/.aspx?dbid=l&id=85183&pagDocViewe=l&cr=1 Listed below are the actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs One of the obstacles to meeting underserved needs is the production of affordable housing. The major obstacles are the lack of financial resources and the lack of infrastructure. The County hopes to leverage other sources of funds (i.e. USDA, State, County and private) by providing federal funds to subsidize the Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 49 cost of housing. Another obstacle is the cost burden that the extremely -low and very -low income households have to endure for housing in the County. The County hopes to continue funding the Tenant Based Rental Assistance program (TBRA) with HOME funds to assist these extremely -low and very -low income households with rental assistance so that they pay less than 30% of their income to housing costs. Additionally, beginning in 2018 the County hopes to receive funds from the National Housing Trust Fund Program (HTF). This program will provide funding for the development of affordable rental housing units to serve extremely -low income households. Another obstacle is the lack of rental units throughout the County for extremely -low and very -low income households. The County plans to work with management agencies and educate landlords about the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and the TBRA program. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The County of Hawai'i plans to foster and maintain high priority affordable housing for County residents by investing 2019 CDBG funds in the following activities: renovations to the Kula'imano Elderly Housing Project, renovations and rehabilitation of 5 homeless shelters, Hale'Ohana Domestic Abuse Shelter, West Hawai'i Domestic Abuse Shelter, West Hawai'i Homeless Emergency Shelter, Kiheipua Family Shelter and Hale Maluhia Shelter. The County of Hawai'i will also utilize 2018 HOME CHDO funds to construct 3 self-help affordable single family homes in the Puna District for homebuyers. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards Hawai'i County has two programs that consider the hazards of lead based paint poisoning. One, the Residential Repair Program (RRP), requires that lead based paint risk assessments be conducted for homes built before 1978. If a dwelling is determined to have lead, mitigation measures are taken to address the lead that is present. When the lead based paint concerns are corrected, the unit becomes available for lead free safe occupancy, thereby, increasing access to housing without LBP hazards. The other is the County's Section 8 Rental Assistance Payments Program which prohibits rental subsidy for any unit that is built before 1978 if there is a family member under the age of 7 and the unit contains peeling paint. Other actions/plans to be undertaken to reduce lead-based paint hazards include: • The distribution of pamphlets to applicants of the RRP notifying them of potential lead-based paint hazards; and • Clearance testing conducted on homes that were found to have lead under the RRP. Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 50 Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families According to the 2010 Census, 18.3% of the people in Hawai'i County are below the poverty level. This is above the State's poverty level of 11.2% and this is mainly due to the high unemployment rate in the County. The County plans to continue administering the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) that targets the extremely -low income households. This would limit the households from paying more than 30% of their income to housing costs. Another program the County would like to administer is the National Housing Trust Fund (HTF) that targets the extremely -low households. The National Housing Trust Fund can be used to acquire, construct or rehabilitate rental housing and rent to extremely -low income households. In rural areas the HTF law considers households with income below poverty line as very -low income. Administering the HTF will help the County reduce the number of poverty -level families. In addition, the County is administering the Department of Labor's Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) program which requires a one-stop shop. The one-stop concept allows a client to access various services from a central location, which includes self-sufficiency and financial literacy programs. The mandatory partners in the one-stop shop are: WIOA programs, Native American programs, migrant and seasonal farm worker programs, veteran employment program, adult education, welfare -to -work, senior community service employment programs, vocational rehabilitation services for the blind programs, Hawai'i Community College and HUD employment and training programs. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The County will continue to participate in: County & State Quarterly Coordinator's Meetings which coordinates state-wide activities and performance measures; the State-wide Continuum of Care group which meets every other month to collaborate on homeless issues; the Inter -Agency Council on Homelessness which meets every other month to enable better access to mainstream programs and to end chronic homelessness; HOME State Recipient Group which meets periodically to coordinate HOME program and projects; quarterly meeting with Fair Housing Officers from the State and other counties and State-wide Housing Directors which meets monthly to collaborate on housing issues. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The County will do the following to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies: • Expand an email list to notify interested citizens and organizations of upcoming events. • Include video conferencing in its citizen participation activities.
