The purpose of the County's CP is to ensure that jurisdictions receiving direct federal assistance utilize and develop a plan for its housing and related needs of very low -, low -, and moderate- income families in a way that improves the availability and affordability of decent, safe and sanitary housing within a suitable living environment. The County's CP has three major sections: Housing & Special Needs Housing; Homeless; and Community Development. The County's CP provides goals, priorities, needs, and data used to develop the plan for how the County intends to administer the HUD CDBG Program. 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), Emergency Shelter Grant (.ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) to assist in meeting the housing needs of Hawai'i's citizens. This summary consolidates the goals and priorities to give an overview of the County's plans. They are summarized as follows: 0 GOALS The federal programs are moving toward performance based finding. Although HUD has not mandated performance based outcomes, all counties in Hawai'i have agreed to utilize the HUD "Logic Model" to develop its 2010 through 2014 CPs. The model outlines the CDBG and HOME activities the County will COMPLETE between 2010 and 2014. These include: Housing Goals • Provide Tenant -Based Rent Assistance to 100 households, • Construct 100 affordable rental units for low income elderly persons, • Provide 20 homebuyer education and counseling sessions (one per year), • Provide down- paymen0closing cost assistance to S families, • Construct 60 affordable for -sale housing units, • Provide loans/grants for home rehabilitation to 50 homeowners, • Provide effective program administration & conduct an update to the Housing Study. Fair Housing Goals • Conduct 10 fair housing training sessions for persons of Non/Limited- English proficiency, • Develop 1 video to increase awareness, • Increase participation by 20 landlords in training sessions, 0 2014 -14 CP Final • Create and link fair housing plan to the County's web site — target 300 hits on the website, . • Participate in 10 State -wide meetings and coordinate events, • Conduct 10 fair housing seminars island -wide, • Provide technical support and disseminate information, • Attend 5 training sessions on fair housing, • Conduct an Analysis of Impediments Study. Homeless Goals • Complete construction of a shelter in West Hawaii, • Rehabilitate one shelter for victims of domestic violence, • Conduct 2 point -in -time counts to determine number of homeless persons (current data will get higher points in funding application with HUD) Community Development Goats • Provide infrastructure or other activities that will increase the production of new affordable housing (1 activity- 100 affordable housing units), • Provide 3 new public safety facilities (fire /police(environmental), * Remove architectural barriers at 10 facilities, • Improve 4 public facilities, + Provide 2 transportation services, + Provide job training for 20 persons, • Provide construction management and inspection services for CDBG projects, + Provide effective CDBG program management. 0 PRIORITIES The County has established the following priorities based upon community input and data available from various studies and plan. The housing needs were expressed by the community, homeless providers and many faith -based organizations as the most important need for persons earning <80% of median income. The need for public facilities to provide healthcare, child/youth care and programs for the seniors was also expressed. In addition, public health and.safety and activities to meet legal obligations or federal mandates are also a concern. Activities such as fire, police, and environmental protection are essential to meet public health and safety. In addition, the County must comply with federal mandates (ADA) in order to continue to receive federal funds. All other activities are considered medium priority. The County's CP priorities will be used to allocate CDBG and /or HOME funds in accordance with project eligibility requirements and program rules. (Higher points will be awarded to project proposals that address high priority activities in accordance with the County's Request for Project Proposal System.) 2019 -14 CP Final 3 0 The County's CP priorities will also be used to determine if projects applying for other • HUD funds (Super NOFA) are consistent with the County's CP. For the County's CP, high and medium priorities will be considered as consistent with the County's CP. The following are the County's CP Priorities: Hitah Priorities • Housing - Housing for households earning less than 80% of median income [i.e. rental, homeownership, special needs, homeless and activities which will produce new housing (i.e. water, streets, environmental activities, planning, etc.)] • Public Health and Safety - Activities that protect the health and safety of the residents in Hawaii County. (i.e. fire, police, environment, etc.) • Federal Mandates - Activities to meet legal obligations or federal mandates. (i.e. ADA) • Public Facilities - Child care., youth, and/or senior centers; facilities for the disabled; homeless facilities; health facilities; neighborhood facilities; and/or parks & recreation facilities. Medium Priorities • Infrastructure (other than housing related) - Water /sewer /street improvements; solid waste disposal; and/or flood drainage improvements. • Public Services - Senior, disabled, youth, childcare, transportation, substance abuse, employment, health, lead hazards, crime, etc. • Economic Develop - Activities which create jobs for low and moderate income persons. Low Priorities Public Facilities - Parking facilities and non - residential historic preservation. • Infrastructure - Sidewalks. The County's CP also contains housing, special needs, and homeless data, census data, needs, and inventory. This was used to produce the 2010 -2014 goals and priorities. H. Approval Process The County's CP process requires the approval of the Hawaii County Housing Agency (the policy malting body of the OHCD) and the Mayor before submittal to HUD. •2010 -14 CP Final III. Action Plan Process The County's annual Action Plan process begins with the scheduling of several public hearings throughout the island of Hawaii, A public notice is published, listing the location, date and time of the public hearings. In order for the County to provide outreach to low and moderate income citizens, the public hearings are held in areas designated as low and moderate income areas. The purpose of the public hearings is to hear comments from citizens on housing and community development needs and the past performance of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) CDBG and HOME Program funds. Along with the public notice informing the community about the public hearings, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for CDBG and HOME projects is published. The County of Hawaii utilizes a RFP process to allocate the CDBG and HOME funds. A deadline is given for all project proposals to be submitted to the County of Hawaii. Project proposals submitted must comply with the program criteria; meet eligibility requirements, program objectives, and be consistent with the County's priorities and objectives as contained in the County's Consolidated Plan. The project proposals are reviewed, ranked and selected for the County's annual Action Plan. The County's proposed Action Plan, listing the proposed CDBG/HOME projects, is drafted and a public notice is published in the local newspapers, announcing the availability of the proposed Action Plan for public review and comment. The general public has thirty days to comment on the county's proposed Action Plan. After the thirty day comment period expires, a public meeting held by the Hawai'i County Housing Agency (HCHA) is scheduled for the purpose of approving projects submitted in the annual Action Plan to be . funded by the CDBG/HOME program. Following the action of the HCHA, a public meeting of the Hawai'i County Council will be held to authorize the Mayor to sign and submit the County's Action Plan to HUD. These public meetings are open to the public. Interested person can submit their comments in person or writing. Upon the Mayor signing the County's Action Plan, a public notice is published in the local newspapers announcing the availability of the County's final Action Plan. After the public review period expires, the County's Action Plan is submitted to HUD. IV. Closing Statement The CP is a comprehensive planning document which identifies the housing and community development needs and priorities for the County of Hawaii for the next five years. It sets forth the County's strategies and objectives in addressing these needs and provides a framework for the Annual Action Plan, which details the specific projects and activities the county will undertake in each of the five years to carry out the CP. 201fl -19 cp Final g • GENERAL INFORMATION • 2410 -•14 CF Final 0 I. Lead Agency 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 Hawaii is the recipient of the HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds 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. II. Institutional Structure The OHCD has administrative responsibility for the CDBG program and the implementation of the five -year Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. OHCD works with a variety of public agencies and nonprofit organizations to ensure that benefits from the CDBG program are delivered to the community. Each year, OHCD issues a Request for Proposal (RFP) for CDBG through a series of • public hearings, community meetings and website postings to encourage participation among public agencies and private organizations in applying for CDBG funds. The County's primary emphasis is on the effective delivery of services through private organizations. Public agencies within the County also use CDBG funds to provide public services, public facility improvements and housing assistance. Public agencies and private organizations (sub - recipients) are awarded CDBG funds through an RFP process. Selected projects are described in the County's Annual Action Plan submitted to HUD. The Annual Action Plan ensures that the priority needs established in the Consolidated Plan are being addressed. The County is not aware of any gaps to the institutional structure that would impair its ability to implement this five -year Consolidated Plan, III. Consultation and Coordination In July 2008, the County of Hawaii, together with the other counties and HUD began the process of developing the format for its CP. These agencies included: • U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) • Office of Housing and Community Development, County of Hawaii • Department of Housing and Human Concerns, County of Maui • Kaua'i County Housing Agency, County of Kauai 0 2010 -14 CF Final • Department of Budget & Fiscal Scivices, City and County of Honolulu • Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC), State of Hawai'i 0 The federal programs are moving toward performance based funding and although HUD has not mandated performance based outcomes, all counties in Hawai'i have agreed to utilize the HUD "Logic Model" to develop the 2010 -2014 CP. The model identifies HUD goals, problems, activities, and outcomes for the CP. The agencies also agreed to the format and contents of the CP. These agencies agreed to coordinate their efforts and to utilize the same source documents and text for the 2010- 2014 CP. This will provide for a more consistent document for all of the counties and the State. The italicized texts are excerpts from the State CP. IV. Citizen Participation A. General The County is required to have a Citizen Participation Plan in its CP (see Appendix G). This plan describes and outlines the County's plan to encourage and inform all citizens, especially persons of very low and moderate income including minorities, non - English speaking and persons of Limited English Proficiency (LEP), as well as persons with mobility, visual or hearing impediments, to participate in the development of the County's CP, along with any amendments to the CP, and the County's performance report. • The citizen participation process as outlined in the Citizen Participation Plan includes public hearings, consultation meetings, 30 -day review and comment period on the County's draft CP, Hawai'i County Housing Agency Meetings/County Council Meeting and a public notice announcing the availability of the County's final CP. B. Public Hearings In September 2009, the County conducted public hearings in Pahala, Pahoa, Kailua -Kona, Honokaa, and Hilo. An overview of the Consolidated Plan process was presented and participants were encouraged to offer input concerning housing, homeless, special needs and community development needs. In an effort to get feedback from as many community members as possible, surveys were also issued. See Appendix C for Public Notices and comments. C. Public and Private .Agencies Consultation Meetings The county held 4 consultation meetings which were attended by public and private service providers. An overview of the draft priorities and goals were presented. The participants then provided input on the county's draft priorities 2010 -14 CP Final g and goals established as a result of community input at public hearings_ Consultation meetings were held in Hilo (on July 22, 2009, June 18, 2009 (video conference with Kona) and on November 19, 2009.

The following is a brief outline of what is contained in this Section: Section 1: Goals - (Activities and proposed accomplishments for the next five years utilizing CDBG and HOME funds.) Section II: Priorities - (Priorities for allocating CDBG and HOME funds and other HUD Funds.) Section III: Obstacles to Housing Priorities Section IV: Needs - (Estimates the number and type of housing needs for the next five years.) Section V: Housing & Market Analysis Data - (Characteristics of the housing market including demand, supply, condition, and cost.) Section VI: General Housing Concerns - (Fair housing, Lead -Based Paint, Anti- poverty strategy, and Barriers to Affordable Housing.) Section VII: Public Housing - (Inventory and Section 8) 1. Goals A. Housing and Special Needs Housing Goals — Logic Model The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Honolulu Office is requiring that the County complete the attached Chart 1: Housing and Special Needs Housing Goals in Appendix B. This chart indicates the HUD goals, problems, needs, the proposed activities to be undertaken during the next five years, the activities to be completed (outputs) and the benefit of the activities (outcomes). The Goals are activities that the County will COMPLETE between 2010 and 2014 utilizing its HUD grants in the next five years. These grants include the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). B. Narrative. Housing and Special Needs Housing Goals The County plans to utilize its Federal HOME and a portion of its CDBG funds for housing for families earning less the 80% of the median income. .According to the Hawaii Housing Policy Study (conducted by SMS Research & Marketing, Inc. in 2006), a total of 3,450 housing units are needed to fulfill the demand for low and moderate income households (<80% of median income). In addition, the collapse of the financial market has drastically increased the need for housing, as those households that were once stable now face employment tosses and foreclosure as either an owner or renter_ The County of Hawaii has reviewed the housing data and has established goals to address the housing needs. Actions to provide affordable housing opportunities must be taken due to decreasing availability of affordable units that has occurred 2010-14 CP Final 14 because of such rapid growth in private sector housing sales and lack of production. 0 The County of Hawaii will utilize its entire HOME and a portion of the CDBG Program funds towards the following housing activities. In addition, these federal funds will leverage other government and/or private resources. The County selected these HUD goals to provide a continuum of housing options from rent assistance to homeownership for those earning 0% to <80% of the median, income. HUD GOAL: Promote decent, affordable housing. From 2010 to 2014, the County plans to provide 100 extremely low and low income families with rent assistance, complete the construction of 100 new rental housing units for low and moderate income elderly renters, and rehabilitate 50 homes owned by low and moderate income families. • Provide tenant -based rental assistance to an additional 100 low and moderate income families • Construct 100 affordable rental units for the elderly • Rehabilitate 50 homes owned by low- /moderate-income homeowners. HUD GOAL: Increase homeownership opportunities. From 2010 to 2014, the County plans to complete the following activities which will enable low and moderate in families in Hawai'i County to become • homeowners. • Provide 20 homebuyer education workshops and counseling session to improve the purchasing ability in the far -sale housing market • Provide down - payment and closing cost assistance to 5 low- and moderate income households • Construct 60 new affordable for sale homes for families earning less than 80% of the median income. HUD GOAL. Embrace high standards of ethics, management and accountability. From 2010 to 2014, the County will conduct the fallowing activities to improve the general performance of the program: • Provide effective program administration of these federal funds to ensure compliance and future funds to Hawaii County • Conduct a housing study to measure progress and needs of the housing market. II. Priorities As stated in the executive summary, the County's CP Priorities will be used to allocate CDBG and HOME funds in accordance with project eligibility requirements and program rules. (Higher points will be awarded to project proposals that address high priority activities in accordance with the County's Request for Project Proposal System.) 2010 -14 CP Final Is The County's CP priorities will also be used to determine if projects applying for other HUD funds (SuperNOFA) are consistent with the County's CP. (High and Medium Priorities will be considered as consistent with the County's CP.) The following are the County's CP Priorities: Hi2_l1! Priorities • Housin - Housing for households earning less than 80% of median income (i.e. rental, homeownership, special needs, homeless and activities which will produce new housing (i.e, water, roadways, environmental activities, planning, etc.)] • Public Health and Safety -Activities that protect the health and safety of the residents in Hawaii County. (I.e. fire, police, environmental management, etc.) • Federal Mandates - Activities to meet legal obligations or federal mandates. (i.e. ADA) • Public Facilities - Child care, youth, and/or senior centers; facilities for the disabled; homeless facilities; health facilities; neighborhood facilities; and/or parks & recreation facilities. Medium Priorities • Infrastructure (other than housing related) - Water /sewer /street improvements; solid waste disposal; and/or flood drainage improvements • Public Services - Senior, disabled, youth, childcare, transportation, substance abuse, employment, health, lead hazards, crime, etc. • Economic Development - Activities which create jobs for low and moderated income persons. Low Priorities • Public facilities - Parking facilities and non - residential historic preservation • Infrastructure — Sidewalks A. Priorities Needs Housing Chart: Chart 1 a in Appendix B is a HUD - required document that contains the County's 201 0 -2014 housing priorities for the use of the HOME and/or CDBG Program funds. These housing priorities were established based upon the County's CP Priorities which identifies all housing as high priority. The data for the Unmet Need column is from a Housing/Supply Demand Model formulated as pant of the Hawaii Housing Policy Study, 2006 (conducted by SMS Research & Marketing, Inc.). 2010 -14 CP Fival 16 Housing Priorities + Basis for assienina Driorities - The unmet need for housing for all households earning <80% of the MFI is large. Government subsidies are needed to produce housing that is affordable to these target households. The "Gap" between the cost of housing (for sale & rental) and the ability of families to pay for shelter remains challenging. Therefore, all housing for income levels of 0 -30 %, 31 -50% and 51 -80% of MFI is of high priority in the County of Hawai "i, + 0bbstaeles - The major obstacles of producing affordable housing are the lack of financial resources and the lack of infrastructure. The County hopes to leverage other sources of funds (i.e. USDA, State, other Federal, and private) by providing federal funds to subsidize the cost of housing. In addition, the availability and the ability to acquire land suitable for housing and community acceptance of affordable housing projects may also be an obstacle. • General priorities for allocating federal fiends geographically - The County does not allocate its federal funds geographically. A request for proposal process is used to allocate funds to activities. • General priorities for allocating federal fiends - The request for proposal process for the HOME and CDBG funds is designed to assign points to various criteria. One of the criteria is the consistency with the County's CP and its priorities. Projects that address the high priority activities will be awarded higher points than medium or low priority projects. • rationale for establishing,_ relative priori y needs - The County has given a high priority to all the categories in Chart 2. An effective housing program that address all the households earning <80% of the MFI is necessary to help alleviate the housing crisis. + Analysis to determine relative pLiori!y for each need cats o - Rents remain un- affordable, while households are burdened by high rates of unemployment and decreasing benefits. The limited development and existing inventory of subsidized government housing has created a need for affordable housing. + Characteristics of housing market - Please refer to Section V Housing and Market Analysis of the characteristics of the housing market. + Severity of housing roblems - As stated in the Goals Section, Hawaii County is in a Housing Crisis. More affordable housing is needed. Please refer to Section III for data on the housing obstacles. 20 1414 CP Final 17 0 . • Need of each category of residents - Please refer to Section IV Needs for the need of each category of residents.

Narrative: Special Needs Housing Priorities The attached Chart 3 exhibits the State's special needs housing data (see Table IV -5) for the use of HOME, CDBG and other HUD Program funds. As the County was unable to find County - specific data on special needs populations, the State data in Chart 3 will be used to determine if activities are consistent with the County's CP special needs priorities. HUD applications for other funds require a consistency determination from the County. All activities that are priority level high and medium will be considered to be consistent with the County's CP.

The County hopes to leverage other sources of funds by providing federal funds to subsidize the cost of housing. In addition, community acceptance of special needs housing may be an obstacle. Many of these homes are covered under the Federal Fair Housing .Act. However lack of understanding of the Act may be an obstacle in developing special needs housing in communities. • General priorities for allocating federal funds g_eogrWhieally - The County does not allocate its federal funds geographically. A request for proposal process is used to allocate funds to activities. • General priorities for allocating federal funds - The request for proposal process for HOME and CDBG funds is designed to assign points to various criteria. One of the criteria is the consistency with the County's CP and its priorities. Projects that address high priority activities will be awarded higher points than medium or low priority projects. • Specific special needs objectives - As stated in the housing section, the County plans to construct 100 affordable rental units for the elderly with HOME and/or CDBG funds. • Describe how funds will be used to address needs for the period of the Counry's CP - The most pressing need in the County of Hawaii is affordable Housing. Therefore, the County has designated Housing as high priority for use of its HOME, and CDBG funds. Project proposals that address this need and priority will be given higher points in the Project Proposal selection system. 111. Obstacles to Housing Priorities The major obstacles of producing affordable housing are the lack of financial resources and the lack of infrastructure. The county hopes to leverage other sources of funds (i.e, USDA, State, Federal, and private) by providing federal funds to subsidize the cost of housing. In addition, the availability and the ability to acquire land suitable for housing and community acceptance of affordable housing projects may also be an obstacle. IV. Needs The following section describes the State's and County's estimated housing needs for the next five years (2010 - 2014). The data is based upon the 2000 U.S- Census data; the Hawaii Housing Policy Study, 2006; the Homeless Point -in -Time Count Report, 2009; and the CHAS provided by HUD, 2010-14 CP Fiml 19 • The State agreed to draft the housing needs assessment section for all counties to ensure that the source of the data was consistent for the entire State. The following section is italicized to indicate the State's Needs Section. Estimate of housing need far 2410 -2015 ,Statewide, approximately 29,400 new units are needed to meet overall housing demand. This estimate of housing need include the existing 'dent up " demand for housing which is assumed to be satisfied over 20 years, as well as anticipated demand based on the formation of new households. Table IV-] provides estimates of statewide housing need by income group. The estimates are based on a Housing Supply /Demand Model which was formulated as part of the Hctwai Housing Policy Study, 2006 U date. Households with incomes at 80 percent of the HUD median income and below are estimated to be in need of rental housing and households with incomes between 80 percent and 140 percent of the HUD median income are estimated to be in need of affordable for -sale housing. By 2015, approximately 17,400 affordable rental housing units and nearly 6,800 affordable for sale units are projected to be needed. Table IV -1.

S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) consolidated housing data from the U.S. Census 2000 and produced data tables on housing problems, affordability and special housing needs for the state and for each county. The tables provide information on Renter and Owner households according to the following income categories; households with incomes under 30% of the median, households with incomes between 30% and 50 °l0 of median, households with incomes between 50% and 80% of the median, and households with incomes above 80% of median. These tables are provided in Appendix "A " — CHAS Data Tables. In brief, the following trends emerge: • The lower the income, the greater the housing problem. More specifically, 43% of all households in Hawaii had housing problems: 55% of households with incomes between 50 % -80% of median had problems; 67% of household between 30 % -50% had problems; and 72% of households with incomes below 30% of median had problems. (Table A -1) 2010 -14 CP Final 20 ■ Large related households, both renters and homeowners, show the highest rates of housing problems. Among large related households with incomes below 30% of median, 94% of renters and 90% of homeowners experienced problems. Among all large related households in the State, 71 % of renters and 59% of owners experienced problems. (Table A -2) • Housing affordability is a problem. Nearly one -third (32 %) of Hawai 'i 's households were cost - burdened, with housing costs that exceed 30% of their income. 30% ofall owners and 35% of all renters were cost - burdened. Data from CHAS 2000 was analyzed to determine if racial or ethnic groups experienced a disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs of that category as a whole. HUD considers disproportionately greater need to exist when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least ten percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole. Table A -3, in Appendix "A ", demonstrates that there is no disproportionate need between Hispanic; White, Nora- Hispanic; Black, Non Hispanic; and "Other " households in the State of Hawaii. The extent of crowding (defined as 1.01 or more persons per room) decreased from 22 percent in 1992 to 8 percent in 2006 (see Table IV-2). This downward trend is anticipated to continue as household sizes decrease, but may change with any prolonged economic downturn. The statewide percentage of households that were overcrowded or doubled up (defined as multiple families in one household) also decreased from 30 percent in 1992 to 15 percent in 2006 Table IV -2: Household Composition and Crowding by County, 1992,1997, 2003 2006 County Year Tata1 Households Crowding Inldicato Percerna overcrowded pmoRr or snore per i'oawa Pereent of households that are overcrowded or doubled MK Honolulu 1992 247,349 23% 32 % 1997 272,234 11% 27% 2003 292,003 10% 23% 2006 303,149 8% 15% Maui 1992 34,266 27% 26% 1887 39,251 10% 25916 2003 43,687 110/0 18% 2006 49,484 8% 15a /o Hawari 1992 59,789 19% 26% 1997 46,271 8% 24% 2003 54,644 7i6 18% 2006 61,213 7% 16% Kauai 19920 16,981 1 Ma 26% 1997 18,817 9% 25% 2003 20,260 6% 21% 2006 i 21,971 7.0 16% Total 1992 338,385 22% 30% 1997 376,574 10% 27% 2003 410,794 10% 22% 2006 435,818 8% 15% 2010 -14 CP Find 24 • • • • a.

Disabilities and health conditions may cause some of there to be unable to perform the basic tasks of dally riving. The Hawaii Dousing Policy Study, 2006 Demand Survey measured need for life management assistance, help with regular daily household chores and personal care. The type of assistance measured included: • Activities of Daily Living (ADL,$) which include assistance with eating, bathing, getting dressed, getting in or out of bed, or getting to the toilet • Instrumental Activities for Daily Living (IADLs) which include preparing meals, taking medications, making phone calls or managing money • Heavy chores like cleaning inside the oven, waxing the floor, or doing yard work • Light chores litre doing the laundry, housecleaning, changing linens, or emptying the trash • Transportation including the need for an escort when going outside the house or the need for rides to doctors' appointments, shopping, etc. Table IV -7 shows the need for life management services across Hawai `i 's four counties. Honolulu had the highest need for transportation and heavy chore services. Those items seem to be more common among elderly with fewer needs people who are likely to remain in unassisted units with some chore services.

The Hawai `i Olmstead Implementation Plan (October 1, 2004) notes that despite the increasing number ofpersons with disabilities, Hawai'i's bed count in hospitals and nursing homes have remained stable. The Olmstead Task Force identified the need to support individuals with disabilities to live in the community as independently as possible. More information, more time, more funds, and improved coordination between government agencies and the private sector are necessary to address issues related to housing, transportation, support services, and work opportunities. Persons with Developmental Disabilities (DD) or Mental Retardation (MR In 2008, there were a total of 2,426 adults with DDIMR who were living in various residential settings. Of that number, 2,230 lived with their family and 196 lived in settings other than with family, There were 14 individuals who wanted to live independently in their own home (with or without supports), but would require a rental subsidy to help pay for rent. These individuals lived with their family, relatives, in an Adult Residential Care Home (ARCH) or Adult Foster Home (AFH), or were homeless, but remained in their current living situation due to limited resources to assist them to live independently. Although the process may be in place to address the individual's choice of residential setting, there may be limited or no resources to support the individual in that particular residential setting. There are rental considerations regarding deposits and monthly rental payments. Limited resources in the areas of Section 8 vouchers, low cost rentals, and rental subsidies, and the high cost of living in 2010 -14 Cr Final 27 Havvai'i make it challenging for individuals with DD /MR to obtain housing to live independently.6 Persons with Severe Mental Illness According to the State Department of health, Adult Mental Health Division (AMHD), approximately 86 percent of eligible persons with severe and persistent mental illness in Hawai 'i have extremely low incomes (4e., incomes at or below 30 percent of median income) and are, therefore, in need of housing assistance. As many as 1 1,100 persons with severe and persistent mental illness are in need of housing assistance, based on their income. AMHD developed this estimate using the following step by step methodology: SSI and SSDI benefits serve as a proxy to identify extremely low - income consumers served by the public mental health system. People receiving SSI and /or SSDI benefits have belowpoverty level financial resources and thus have great difficulty obtaining affordable housing. In FY 2006, AMHD provided services to 11, 217 adults including 9,600 persons who were receiving ,SSI andlor SSDI. It is estimated these 9,600 individuals will need subsidized housing/rental assistance. 2. AMHD estimates there are approximately 1,500 homeless persons with severe and persistent mental illness who are not accounted for in AMHD's database. Virtually all of these individuals are in need of housing assistance. 3. The sum of these two estimates, which are presumed unduplicated, is the conservative estimate of 11,100 persons with severe and persistent mental illness in need of housing assistance. ' Substance Abuse Population In 2004, the statewide total number of persons estimated to be in need of alcohol and /or drug treatment is 85,468 representing an increase of approximately I0 percent from 1998 to 2004.8 According to providers, there is a need for more clean and sober housing during the recovery period The greatest need is for clean and sober houses for women with children; the second greatest need is for clean and sober houses for women. 6 State of Hawaii Department of Health, State Council on Developmental Disabilities, "Final Report to the Twenty - Fifth Legislature, State of Hawaii 2009, Pursuant to Section 2 of Act 040, Session Laws of 2007 Entitled, "A Bill for an Act Relating to Developmental Disabilities" Requiring the State Council on Developmental Disabilities to Submit a Final Report on the Number of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities or Mental Retardation Who Choose to Live Independently, the Financial Impact on the State, and Findings and Recommendations as Provided by Act 303, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006 and the Financial Impact Act 303 Has Had on the State ", December 2008 7 State Department of Health, Adult Mental Health Division, Community Housing Plan for Persons with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness, FY 2008 -2012, pp. 17 -18, November 2007, ISB State of Hawaii Department of Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division, "State of Hawaii 2004 Treatment Needs Assessment ", 2007, page 9 -33 2010 -14 CP Finn] 29 About 25.8 percent of the 2,514 unsheltered homeless persons identified in the 2409 point -in- tirne (PIT) count were determined to be chronically homeless.

The 2008 Hawai'i AIDS Clinical Research Program's Statewide HIV /AIDS Medical Care i Needs Assessment indicates that there are 2,700 confirmed people with HIV in Hawaii, of which approximately 37.6 percent or, 1, 015 persons are estimated to face a housing cost burden. Approximately 400 households received HOP WA assistance in the 2007 Program year, leaving an estimated gap of more than 600 households in need of housing assistance. A survey of 161 people with HIV in Hawaii indicated a rate of 74 percent in need of housing assistance (63 percent long term and I 1 percent short term). Applying that proportion of need to the 2,700 confirmed number of people with HIV, results in a need for nearly 2,000 housing units. Approximately 400 households received HOPWA assistance in the 2007 program year, leaving an estimated gap of 1, 600 households in need of housing assistance. (This is likely a high estimate since the survey was administered through service providers which likely missed people who are not in need of services.) The HOP W-4 planning group identified the housing needs of this population which included permanent housing (rental subsidy), assisted living, transitional housing, emergency housing, long --term care facilities, care homes and hospice care. Within each of these categories, 'State of llawai -i, Hawaf i Public Housing Authority, Homeless Programs Branch and City & County of Honolulu, Department Of Community Services, Statewide Homeless Point -in -rime Count, May 2009 2010 -14 CP Final 29 0 appropriate supportive services to assist persons with HIV /AIDS to obtain or retain housing were also identified as needs. Youth In Federal Fiscal Year 2007, there were 157 foster youth i ho aged out of Child Welfare Services foster care. 10 Most of these need assistance to attain or maintain permanent housing. Me connections to housing resources have improved, more could be dome to support foster youth in planning for housing and, in particular, in finding affordable housing. A number of service providers emphasized the need to create affordable housing for former foster youth and/or improve access to Section 8 housing. The Department of Human Service is attempting to address the latter through its collaborative application with county governments to HUD for subsidy assistance targeting former foster youth. The need for more "youth-friendly " independent living programs and group homes that serve the particular needs offoster youth was also emphasized. Some residential programs were deemed restrictive and in need of flexibility to allow youth to work late hours or attend evening courses, for example." Probationers, Parolees, and Ex- Offenders According to the State Judiciary System, each year there are about 495 probationers in the state who have special housing needs. Of these, 25% are drug court probationers, 10% are considered "high -risk; " and the remainder is general probationers. Each year, around 375 people who are released froth prison on parole have special housing needs (Hawaii Paroling Authority). This population needs additional "Clean and Sober "residences, community -based substance abuse programs, and the ability to immediately access social services related programs such as medical insurance and food stamps.

Housing and Market Analysis 0 The following section describes the State's and County's Housing and Market Analysis. The data is based upon the DEBDT, State of Hawaii Data Book 2007; 2007 U.S. Census data; the Hawaii Housing Policy Study, 2006 Update; and the CHAS provided by the HUD. The State agreed to draft the housing needs assessment section for all counties to ensure that the source of the data was consistent for the entire State. The following section is italicized to indicate the State's Housing and Market Analysis Section. This section describes characteristics of the State's housing market including housing supply, demand and cost. The Housing Market area is defined as the State gfHawai'i with focus in the Counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui. HousinK Demand A. Population and Population Trends Between 1990 and 2008, statewide population grew from 1, 108,229 persons to an estimated 1,288,198 persons, representing an annual growth rate of 0.8 percent. In the first half of the 1990s, population grew at an annual rate of 1.5 percent, but fell to 02 percent during the second half of the 1990s. During the first half of the 2000s, population growth recovered to an annual rate of 0.9 percent, but has slowed to 0.6 percent annually between 2005 and 2008. Contributing to the slower growth of statewide population was the net outmigration from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland. Between 2006 and 2007, there were 11,849 more people who moved to the US, mainland than those who moved to Hawaii from the mainland, Military deployment accounted for more than ha�(ofoutmigration to the U.S. mainland. Neighbor Island counties are growing at a faster rate than Honolulu. Hawaii County led the growth in population from 2007 to 2008 with a growth rate of 1.9 percent. Kauai and Maui counties each gained 1.5 percent population and the City and County of Honolulu experienced a population growth rate of 0.5 percent during the same period. The growth of the Big Island population in recent years was partly due to in-migration from other islands in the state and from the U.S. mainland. Due to slower growth in population, the City and County of Honolulu's share of the State population decreased 3.2 percentage points from 75.5 percent of the State total in 1990 to 72.3 percent in 2000. Hawai 'i County gained 1.4 percentage points, Maui County's population share increased 1.5 percentage points, and Kauai County increased only 0.2 percentage points. 12 t2 DBEDT, The State of Hawaii Data Book 2007, Table 1.06. 2010 -14 CP Final 31 • From 2010 to 2015, the resident population is projected to grow by 1.1 percent front 1,332,880 to 1,410,670.13 Approximately 69.0 percent (973, 710) of the 2015 population is projected to reside in the City and County of Honolulu, followed by Hawaii, 14.6 percent (205,820); Maui, 11.5 percent (161,710); and Kauai, 4.9 percent (69,430). 14 Figure 2: Population DiMbIldon 16000110 1400000 1200000 10000/00 800000 600000 400000 200000 a 1990 2000 2010 2015 B.

In 1006, clearly 40 percent of all Hawaii households expressed a desire to move to a new home in the near future. Interest is somewhat higher in the Counties of Maui and Hawaii. Price increases have been higher in those two counties and while more units have been added to the inventory than in other counties, the rate of out -of state ownership has also been much higher. This suggests that pent -up demand may be higher in these two counties than in the City and County of Honolulu or the County of Kauai, 17 As shown in Table V-3, above, nearly 20 percent of those who wanted to move to a new housing unit, indicated that they wanted to move to a home outside ofHawai'i. 10 "Effective demand" is estimated by subtracting those households who want to move out - of-state from those who want to move. across the state, effective demand is expected to be equal to about 33 percent of 2006 households, or 142,362 households.

Honolulu is the third most expensive metropolitan area and lite combined counties of Havvai'i, Kauai, and Maui rank second most expensive nonmetropo titan area -23 The Fair Market Rent (FMR) in the State of Hawai 'i for a two - bedroom apartment is $1,536 In order to afford this level of rent and utilities, without paying more than 30 percent of income on housing, a household must earn $5,119 monthly or $61,428 annually. Assuming a 40 -hour work weep 52 weeks per year, this level of income translates into a Housing Wage of $29.53. In Hawaii, a minimum wage worker earns an hourly wage of $7.25. In order to afford the FMR for a two- bedroom apartment at this wage, a renter must work 163 hours per week 52 weeks per year. Or, working 40 hours per week year- round, a household must include 4,1 workers earning the minimum wage in order to make the two - bedroom FMR affordable. In Hawaii, the estimated average wage for a renter is $13.03. In order to afford the FMR for a two - bedroom apartment at this wage, a renter must work 91 hours per week, 52 weeks per year. Or, working 40 hours per week year - round, a household must include 23 workers earning the mean renter wage in order to make the two - bedroom FAIR affordable. 24 Table V -7 presents rental affordability data. for Fiscal Year 2009 for the Hawaii and the counties. 0 23 The National Low Income Housing Coalition, Out of Reach 2009, April 2009 24 ibid. 2010 -14 CP Final 37 0 M M O CO N qu N ' O C tl p y M op •r VNi OV :p] 6 6�QS �d C g 6g � 69 ra o � 9 1014 `~ � � �c°> h Q O 0 0 �n•� ry ti i be bp be u pla•� �N � h lNi b ryN y �� O k.

General Housing Concerns The General Housing Concerns Section includes: a Fair Housing • Lead -Based faint • Anti - Poverty Strategy • Barriers to Affordable Housing Low- Income Housing Tax Credits A. Fair Housing The Fair Housing Officers of the State and the Counties ofHawai'i, Honolulu, Kaua'i, and Maui have maintained efforts to increase awareness of fair housing laws among targeted "protected" classes. These protected groups were identified as being in particular need of extended education and/or training in the fair housing laws as required in 24 CFR 91.325(a)(1) and 24 CFR 91.225(a)(1) and 24 CFR 570.287(b). Fair Housing Goals In the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) for the County ofHawai'i, completed in February 2008, survey information indicated there was less of a discrepancy between people felt with regards to fair housing and what was believe to be permissible under the law since the Al study completed in August 2003. In the 2008 study, one -fifth of all respondents (18.8) percent believed they had been discriminated against while trying to rent a house or apartment. Of that, 40.1 percent indicated that they had experienced discrimination in the last five years. The 60 percent of the respondents took no action following the discriminating act. These figures are down from the August 2003 survey where almost one- fourth (24.7 %) of the respondents surveyed believed they had been discriminated against when searching for a unit to rent; in August 2003 survey, more than half (59.3 %) indicated that they experienced discrimination in the last five years and the majority (833%) took no action following the discriminating act, This indicates that while the County still has a long way to go in affirmatively furthering fair housing that progress has been made since the August 2003, survey. Still a major reason for the lack of responsiveness to the discrimination was that the respondent didn't know the appropriate avenue of action, applicants were not aware of their rights, applicants did not follow up with authorities if they are denied their rights and advocacy groups who work with applicants are not totally aware of all the laws. For this reason, the Al identified `Unawareness of applicants with regard to fair housing rights and resources' as an impediment for the County. With affirmatively furthering fair housing as a statewide goal, the State with the neighbor island counties have worked in collaboration to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of our goal for fair housing as a state. Consequently, the Al has indicated that `Lack of a coordinated, long range plan for Hawaii fair housing 2010.14 CP Final 39 0 issues' is also an impediment for the County of Hawaii, as well as the other neighbor island counties. To address both impediments, the County, in partnership with the State and other neighbor island counties, will actively conduct activities (See Chart 2 in Appendix B) throughout the duration of its CP period to affirmatively further fair housing and ensure that each County's individual impediments have been effectively and efficiently addressed. Narrative: Fair Housing Goals Community awareness The County of Hawai' i will maintain fair housing outreach by continuing to conduct annual fair housing educational trainings. In an effort to further fair housing, more focused methods of outreach will be implemented to target populations who are underserved or unaware of fair housing laws and resources. The Al identifies persons who are Non - English speaking and persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) as individuals living in "linguistic isolation," or those households using a language other than English as their primary means of communication. Due to language barriers, these individuals are unable to fully access equal degrees of information from fair housing training that are currently offered in English by the County. To provide outreach to persons enduring such barriers, each year the County will identify a language of linguistic isolation and hire an interpreter of that particular language to assist in conducting a fair housing training. By conducting such training, persons who are Non - English speaking or LEP will have equal access to the information presented in the annual fair housing training. Educational surveys will be administered preceding and succeeding sessions to measure whether fair housing awareness has increased among participants. Outcome: To increase the awareness of fair homing laws and resources for 50% of attendees who are Non - English spealting_or LEP. Landlords with only a few units (commonly referred to as "Mom and Pop " landlords) are another population that is underrepresented with respect to awareness of fair housing laws and resources. The County will conduct outreach to this population by first identifying and contacting these "Mom and Pop" landlords, and encouraging these individuals to attend either of the County's annual fair housing seminars. Like the trainings for persons who are Non - English speaking and LEP, educational surveys will be administered preceding and succeeding trainings to measure the outcome of awareness with respect to fair housing. Outcome: Identify and contact 100 new "Morn. and Pop" landlords and encourage at least 20 of those landlords to attend an annual fair housing training. Also included to enhance fair housing outreach will be a fair housing video, which will be a collaborative effort completed by the State and the neighbor island counties. Ibis video, will promote the HUD toll -free telephone number for reporting violations, and will be incorporated into all fair housing training conducted by the Fair Housing Officers. The Fair Housing and Equal 201414 CP Final 40 Opportunity division of HUD will monitor and report to each county the number of inquiries and complaints for their respective county, which will provide a performance measurement for fair housing awareness of the telephone number for reporting violations. The current baseline number of fair Dousing inquiries and/or complaints is currently one call per week. Outcome hicrease the volume of fair housing inquiries and complaints b y 20 %. To maximize the exposure of fair housing support provided by the County, the Al strongly recommends establishing a fair housing website. Since there is currently an established website for the County of Hawaii, efforts by the County will be placed in the design and implementation of a linkable website for the OHCD to the general County website, with a fair housing sub site, Features of the sub site will include regulatory information with regards to fair housing, contact information, a mechanism to track the number of hits, as well as an online fair housing survey that will be prompted by navigation through the sub site. With the bits mechanism and the online survey, performance of the sub site, as well as awareness level can be measured. Results of the measurement will then allow for revision and evolution of the fair housing sub site. Outcome: Increase awareness of fair housing laws and resources for 75% of the fair housing sub site visitors. Periodic meetings with the State and neighbor island countries will promote enhancement of program operation. Collaboration and cost- sharing amongst the group will expand the ability to increase the availability of fair housing training statewide. In concurrence to the two (2) current annual fair housing training sessions offered (one in East Hawaii and one in West Hawaii) will be two (2) fair housing trainings that will target persons challenged by the English language, as mentioned earlier. Outcome: Increase availability of fair.houshig trainin s offered from 10 trainiM to 20 trainiin�gs. The Fair Housing Officer for the County of Hawaii will contribute to the promotion of fair housing information by attending training sessions each year — disseminating such information to future training participants, as well as technical support to inquiries and complaints that are received by the OHCD. The knowledge gained will allow the Officer to increase the number independently served by decreasing the turnaround time dedicated for the Officer to research and consult with alternate sources of fair housing information. Outcome: Fair Housing Officer_ can independently assist 75% of complaints at the end of the 5- Year period. Coordinated plan The State and neighbor island counties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which will strengthen the collaboration of efforts and resources to affirmatively further fair housing. Since the AI has been selected as the device to identify the impediments to fair housing, conducting future Als will allow each county to determine how progressive efforts have been to promote fair housing laws and resources. Since conducting each Al doesn't directly create any benefit to the community, each county will measure the benefit of this activity to the community by distributing copies of the Al to social service providers. The 2010 -14 CP Final 41 • presumption here is that, by disseminating the information to providers of services, that information will be transferred from the providers to the consumers — marginally increasing the awareness of fair housing among members of the community. Outcome: Distribute 10 copies of the AI _to social service providers and advocacy groups after the completion of the 2012 Al. 0 0 B. Lead -Based Paint Lead poisoning is among the most common and preventable environmental health hazards facing children in the United States. Environmental exposure to even low levels of lead increases a child's risk of developing learning disabilities, behavior problems, and lower intelligence quotients. These problems may adversely affect a child's ability to learn and succeed in life. The State Department of Health last conducted a formal study from 1998 through September 2403. Current data collected up to October 2009 exists, but is incomplete and not conclusive, and therefore is not included here. In the study conduct as of 2003 the State Department of Health indicated that the County of Hawaii had the second highest rate (29 %) of children with elevated blood lead levels (Table 5). Table 5: Children with Elevated Blood Levels for 2002 ISLAND # OF CHILDREN PERCENT NAWAI'I 44 29.0% OAHU 95 62.5% MAUI 13 8.5% KAUAI 0 0.00/0 MOLOKAI 0 0.00/0. TOTAL 152 100.0% The indicator of the number of units that contain lead -based paint hazards are units built prior to 1978. According to the CHAS table, 5,665 units were built prior to 1970. 1,884 of these units were occupied by very low income renters. 3,781 of these units were occupied by very low and other low income owners.

This information was obtained through the State Department of Health from 1998 through September 2043. 2010 -14 CP FinW 42 Map 3: Distribution of elevated blood lead levels on the island of Hawaii from 1998 C. Anti- Poverty Strategy The County does not provide social and human services. These services are provided by various State agencies as governed by the Hawaii Revised Statutes. However, the State and Counties administer the Section 8 Rental Assistance and the Family Self- Sufficiency Programs (FSS). The Section 8 program provides rent assistance to families in need of affordable rental housing. Eligible Section 8 2010 -14 CP Final 43 U C] • families may then participate in the FSS program., which allows access to various local services. Assistance through the FSS program includes, but is not limited to, child care, transportation, employment, homemaking education and counseling, parenting skills, job search shills, self- esteem techniques, health issues and tenant/landlord issues. This education, training and support system is made available through a personalized Individual Training and Service Plan (ITSP) in the FSS program. In 1998, Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) which consolidated many Department of Labor programs and created local boards to design innovative local workforce investment programs. The local program can be designed in conjunction with local economic development initiatives and /or activities. The local board is made up of private and public sector members that are mandated to establish and operate one -stop service centers. These centers are to provide access to job opportunities, job training and related services_ The one -stop concept also includes the participation by social welfare, education and housing programs. A participant should be able to apply for and/or receive information on related programs and services to give the participant the opportunity to compete in the local job market. The County's Section 8 Welfare - to -Work Housing vouchers are being coordinated through the WIA one -stop. Through the Section 8 Rent Assistance Program, Family Self-Sufficiency Program, WIA One -Stop Shop, together with the goals established in the County's CP (various homeowner educational and counseling sessions, and the production of new affordable housing units) the County hopes to move families from rental housing to homeownership. D. Barriers to Affordable Housing The County of Hawai'i's strategy to remove barriers to affordable housing is: Foster and nualatain affordable housing. The County will continue to facilitate the development of at least one affordable and one special needs housing project, The County will continue to provide technical assistance to for-profit and not-for- profit developers to expedite the development process. Fees, charges, exactions. The County will amend its Housing Policy to maintain a reasonable fee structure and encourage developers to provide affordable units. Land use regulations. The County of Hawaii will amend its County subdivision and zoning codes and recommend the elimination or modification of onerous codes. 2010 -14 CP Final 44 Building codes. The County of Havmi' i will continue to review County building codes and recommend the elimination or modification of onerous codes that do not affect health and safety of residents. 0 Growth limitations. The County of Hawaii will revise and update the County General Plan as mandated by our Charter. The County will continue to use the General Plan, as amended, to direct growth. Return on investment. Please refer to the State's CP, The County imposes mandated buy back provisions. The County may impose shared equity conditions. Lack for resources. The County will continue to support and provide technical support to not-for-profit organizations with applications for and to encourage funding agencies to approve start up and capacity building grants. "Mini Davis- $aconl' Tax Policy, and Land Usa Controls. Please refer to the State's CP for the State's strategy to remove the following barriers to affordable housing. E. Low - Income Housing Tax Credits The County currently does not administer Low - Income Tax Credit Programs and therefore, the County has included the State of Hawai'i's Low- Income Housing Tax Credit Section for your information. The italicized text is taken directly form the State's CP. The federal Low - Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC), created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, is intended to encourage the construction or rehabilitation of low - income rental units. This program provides Federal tax credits to qualified project owners who have agreed to maintain all or a portion of a project's units for low - income individuals or families. The State also created a LIHTC program which is equal to fifty percent (50 %) of the federal tax credit allocated to a project. In accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the Budget Reconciliation Bill of 1990 and the Omnibus Spending Bill of 2000, the HHFDC developed a "Qualified Allocation Plan" which sets forth (1) the criteria to evaluate and allocate tax credits to projects which best meet the housing needs of the State, and (l) the procedures to monitor for compliance with the provisions of the LIIITC program. The allocation plan utilizes a point system to rank projects based upon the evaluation criteria established, The ranking of projects will determine the priorities to be followed by the HHFDC in allocating tax credits to the projects under construction. Projects selected under this allocation plan are evaluated as to the minimum amount of tax credits required in order to make the project feasible. Tax credits are available only for units rented to low - income occupants. This means that a project must have at least twenty percent (20 91o) of its units rented to households with incomes of 50% or less of the area median income; or at least forty percent (40 %) of the 7010 -14 CP Final 45 0 units must be rented to households with incomes of 60% or less of the area median income. The tax credit program encourages owners to buy and rehabilitate or construct housing .for low- income persons by providing a federal tax credit of up to nine percent (9 °lo) of the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation cost (does not include the cost of the land) of the project. This credit applies only to housing costs for low- income units and can be claimed each year for 10 years. In addition, the State offers a state tax credit equal to fifty percent (50 %) of the federal credit. The program offers tax benefits of approximately $4.3 million each year, in addition to unused carry over credits from the previous year, to owners of low - income housing in the State. Ten percent (10 %) of this amount is reserved, for non-profit organizations. The federal government currently allots $2.30 per capita of tax credits to each state annually. For the State, this amounts to approximately $2.9 million in federal tax credits received each year. The State credit is fijly percent (50 916) of this amount, or approximately $1.4 million, for a total of $4.3 million each year. Based on past experience of the program, it is estimated that 150 to 200 units can be assisted annually with the LIHTC program. VII. Public Housing The County is currently not in control of any public housing units, and therefore, the County has included the State of Hawai`i's Public Housing Section for your information. The italicized text is taken directly form the State's CP. A. Needs: There is a shortage of affordable housing for all eligible populations. The HPHA owns and manages 5,331 federal public housing units statewide with a resident population ofover 12,000. For a breakdown of units by jurisdiction, please see Appendix E, Inventory of Government Assisted Rental Housing Units. As evidenced in Tables II13 and III -4, there is a shortage of affordable housingfor all eligible populations. As ofdanuary 1, 2009, the HPHA maintained a waidist of8,834 familiesfor public housing in the State of Hawaii, and a waidist of 4,252 families for rental assistance under the Section 8 program in Honolulu. Families with incomes at or below 30% and 50% of the area median income represent the lion's share of those who need assistance. Families with children, elderly families, and families of persons with disabilities all need affordable housing. Families ofAsian/Pacijic Islander/Other ethnicities were the largest ethnic group represented on both wait lists. To address the shortage with the limited amount offunding available, the HPHA plans to maximize the number of affordable units within its current resources, facilitate an increase of the number of of fordable housing units outside of its resources, and target available assistance to families at or below 30'0 and 50% of the area median income, elderly families, and families of 0 2010 -14 cP Final 46 persons with disabilities. The HPHA plans to conduct and promo te.fair housing activities to assist families of all races or eth.niciiies with housing needs. A Strategies: To address these affordable housing needs, the .HPHA plans to implement several measures to maximize the number of units within its current inventory, such as employing effective maintenance and management policies to minimize the number of off-line housing units, and reducing the time it takes to repair and prepare vacant units for occupancy. It will also pursue redevelopment activities, using a mixed -use, mixed finance model, to increase and improve affordable housing. The HPHA is currently utilizing this model for the redevelopment of the Kuhio Park Terrace and Kuhio Homes public housing projects, which consist of 614 units and 134 units respectively. The proposed redevelopment will add an estimated 276 units, and feature a mix of public housing units, subsidized rental units for workforce families, a new senior citizen mid -rise apartment building, and market rate rental units. The project is expected to revitalize the housing and create a mixed - income community, with no net loss of public housing units. The HPHA may also pursue the redevelopment of additional public housing projects. The current average age of the HPHA's housing inventory is 40 years. Based on a 2003 Physical Needs Assessment conducted by the International Business Machine, 1ne., the HPHA wild require approximately $650 million over a twenty year period to sufficiently maintain all the units according to HUD public housing standards. To maintain and improve the operations and living conditions for federal public housing residents, HPHA receives approximately $13.3 million in annual operating subsidies and approximately $12.6 million in Capital Fund Program (development, financing, modernization, and management improvements) monies. HPHA's capital fund needs far exceed HUD's average annual Capital Fund contributions. Based upon funding availability, the Physical Needs Assessment, consultation with public housing resident associations, and the Resident Advisory Board, a Capital Fund Program 5 -Year Action Plan was developed and submitted to HUD as a part of'the Public Housing Agency 5- Year and Annual Plans. The 5 -Year Action Plan describes the physical and management improvements that are being planned for over the next five years. The following projects have been designated far physical improvements in the current approved 5 -Year PHA Plan: • structural and spalling repairs for the Makua Alii project, located on Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu, consisting of 210 one - bedroom units for seniors; • ADA units and modernization of Pomaikai Homes, located in Hilo, consisting of 20 studio and one - bedroom units for seniors; • ADA units and modernization ofPahala, on the island ofHawai'i, consisting of 24 studio and one - bedroom units.for seniors; • unit renovations and re- roofing of Hale Aloha 0 Puna, a senior project in Keaau consisting of 30 studio and one - bedroom units; 2010-14 CP Fina! 47 • • physical improvements, done in phases over several years, for Palolo Valley Homes, consisting of 118 one- tofive- bedroom units forfamilies, located in Honolulu; • site and dwelling improvements to Kalihi Valley Horses, located in the Kalihi/Kapalama area in Honolulu, and consisting of 400 one- to five - bedroom units; • ADA and physical improvements to Pidani Homes, a seniorproject with 42 studio and one- bedroom units located in Lahaina, Maui; • building improvements to the Salt Lake project, consisting of 28 one - bedroom units in Honolulu; and • construction of 20 replacement public housing units at Lanakila Horses III on the Big Island. The HPHA will also undertake measures to improve the living environment in the housing projects throughout the state. To achieve a de- concentration ofpoverty, the HPHA will establish a waiting list preference for families with earned income, to balance the generally lower income homeless families who already have awaiting list preference. The redevelopment plan far Kuhio Park Terrace and Kuhio Homes will also achieve this objective, as it will provide a mix of public housing units, subsidized rental units for workforce families, a new senior citizen mid -rise apartment building, and market rate rental units. To improve the living environment for elderly residents of public housing, the HPHA will designate three existing high -rise buildings as elderly -only public housing. Tice HPHA will also implement security improvements to provide for increased safety for public housing residents. The HPHA will strive to achieve a HUD "high performer " status in the Public Housing Assessment System and Section 8 Management Assessment Program. HPHA intends to increase assisted housing choices by conducting outreach efforts to potential voucher landlords, providing Section 8 voucher mobility counseling, increasing voucher payment standards, and implementing other programs to meet this objective, HPHA will continue its efforts to establish a viable Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership program. HPHA will continue to seek government and private funding to promote resident seOlsufficiency and to provide supportive services to increase independence for the elderly or families with disabilities residing in HPHA 's federal public housing projects. Additional information and details on the HPHA `s S - Yea r Plan may be found by visiting their website at: hgp:1Avww,hcdch.hawaii.QOv. 2010 -14 CP Final 49 HOMELESS n 20tQ -I4 CP Final 49 0 0 HOMELESS • This section of the County's Consolidated Plan (CP) concentrates on homeless. The following is a brief outline of the contents of the Homeless Section with respect to the County's five -year CP: Section I: Goals - Activities the County plans to complete between 2010 and 2014 utilizing CDBG and HOME funds. Section II: Priorities - Priorities for allocating CDBG, HOME, and other HUD funds. Section III: Strategy - Plans to end homelessness; Hawaii Island Continuum of Care (CoC) involvement. Section IV: Needs - Composition of the homeless population. Section V: Nature and Extent of Homelessness - Reports data from study and describes most needed services Section VI: Existing Homeless Facilities - Current inventory of homeless beds. I. Goads A. Homeless Goals — Logic Model The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Honolulu Office is requiring that the County complete a logic model (Appendix B, Chart 3: Homeless Goals) which indicates the County's goals, problems, needs, and resources available to meet the needs, the proposed activities to be undertaken during the next five years, the activities to be completed (outputs) and the benefit of the activities (outcomes). The goals are activities that the County will COMPLETE between 2010 and 2014 utilizing its CDBG, and/or HOME grants in the next five years. Please refer to the State of Hawai'i's CP for activities utilizing the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), Housing for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Grant and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) which is attached and italicized. B. Narrative: Homeless Goals HUD has established the following goals for its Department: • Promote decent, affordable housing • Strengthen communities « Embrace high standards of ethics, management and accountability The County will complete the following activities which will meet these HUD Goals, 2010-14 CP Final 50 HUD GOAL: Promote decent, affordable housing. The County continues to take an aggressive approach to provide housing opportunities to its homeless population. Activities that the County will conduct include: • Construct a homeless shelter in West Hawaii The County will continue its efforts to construct a shelter for West Hawai'i's homeless population. Construction of the shelter will ensure 30 beds for the homeless population. • Rehabilitate a homeless shelter for victims of domestic violence The County will engage in the rehabilitation of a shelter that will accommodate victims of domestic violence. This expansion will benefit 78 households that have persons who are victims of domestic violence. HUD GOAL: Strengthen communities. Please refer to the State of Hawaii's CP for activities utilizing the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) and Housing for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Grant. HUD GOAL: Embrace high standards of ethics, management and accountability. The County is also dedicated to the following activities to improve the general performance of the program: * Conduct a homeless point -in -time count In years prior, homeless studies have been conducted to provide relevant information with respect to the homeless population. As it is necessary to have current data for proper planning and to secure funding sources, the County will implement (in coordination with the neighbor island counties) two (2) point -in -time counts during the CP period. II. Priorities A. Priority Homeless Needs The County's CP Priorities will be used to allocate CDBG, HOME, and /or ADDI funds in accordance with project eligibility requirements and program rules. (Higher points will be awarded to project proposals that address high priority activities in accordance with the County's Request for Project Proposal System.) The County's CP priorities will be used to determine if projects applying for other HUD fluids (SuperNOFA) are consistent with its CP. (High and Medium Priorities will be considered as consistent with the County's CP.) The following are the County's CP Priorities: 2010 -14 CP Final 0 51 H' h Priorities r Housing - Housing for households earning less than 80% of median income [i.e., rental, homeownership, special needs, homeless and activities which will produce new housing 0.e., water, streets, environmental activities, planning, etc.)] • Public Health and Safe - Activities that protect the health and safety of the residents in Hawai'i County (i.e., fire, police, environment, etc.) • Federal Mandates - Activities to meet legal obligations or federal mandates (i.e., ADA) * Public Facilities - Child care, youth, and/or senior centers; facilities for the disabled; homeless facilities; health facilities; neighborhood facilities; and/or parks & recreation facilities. Medium Priorities * lnfi-astructure (other than housing related) - Water, sewer and street improvements; solid waste disposal; and /or flood drainage improvements Public Services - Senior, disabled, youth, childcare, transportation, substance abuse, employment, health, lead hazards, crime, etc. Economic Development - Activities which create jobs for low and moderated income persons. is Low Priorities: * Public Facilities - Parking facilities and non - residential historic preservation LJ * Infrastructure - Sidewalks The following Chart 6 is a HUD - required document that contains the County's 2010- 2014 homeless priorities for the use of the CDBG and/or HOME Program funds. These priorities were established based upon the County's CP Priorities.

Narrative. Homeless Priorities Priori assignment In determining the priorities with regard to homeless needs, the County has considered the following sources: • Input gathered from the consultation meetings with public and private agencies; Unmet needs as determined by the Community Alliance Partners — the elected homeless planning group that offers collaborative input to address the County's homeless issues; Data from the latest point -in -time count. Obstacles The major obstacle of meeting the unmet homeless needs is the lack of financial resources. The County hopes to leverage other sources of funds and to seek other new resources to meet the needs. In addition, community acceptance of shelters and facilities for the homeless is an obstacle. The "not in my back yard" attitude is a major factor in fording suitable sites that meet the homeless needs. Geo ra hic allocation. . The County does not allocate its federal funds geographically. A request for proposal process is used to allocate funds to activities. Priority allocation. The request for proposal process for the CDBG funds is designed to assign points to various criteria. One of the criteria is the consistency with the County's CP and its priorities. Projects that address high priority activities will he awarded higher points than those activities of medium or low priority. Rationale for assi ent. As stated in the Executive Summary, housing is considered a high priority and public service a medium priority- The State administers the Emergency Shelter Grants Program (ESG) and other funds for supportive services. Please refer to the State's CP for priority as it relates to the ESG program. III. Strategy The County recognizes its homeless problem and has taken a proactive approach to address this problem accordingly. In support of efforts to end homelessness the County has contributed as a component of the Community Alliance Partners (CAP) — the planning group on homelessness in Hawaii County. According to the Homeless Big 0 2010-14 CP Final 54 Island Strategic Plan, the mission of the CoC is "...to assist individuals and families who become homeless or are at -risk of becoming, to regain their housing stability and a . greater quality of life." The CoC hopes that "...collaborative working relationships with homeless providers, State and County officials, consumers, and faith -based organizations result in effective referrals, better care and innovative partnerships." Strategies to address homelessness, as indicated in the Big Island Strategic Plan, focus on the following: • Increase availability for emergency, transitional, permanent, rental and for -sale housing,. • Strengthen homeless prevention through financial assistance (relit, deposit, childcare, etc.), vocational and educational training, outreach and housing retention services, and community awareness. • Reduce barriers to housing by collaborating with private and govemment agencies, by providing training on working with homeless, and by creating supportive services to assure tenant marketability. • Enhance supportive services by increasing service availability (legal, rehabilitative, health treatment, skills training, transportation, etc.). • Improve methods of data collection to secure other funding sources and research other regions for advantageous practices. • Establish collaborative partnerships with state and local government to increase community awareness. Collaboration The County actively participates in the Bridging the Gap (consisting of the neighbor island counties) and Statewide (consisting of the State and Bridging the Gap) Continuum of Care. These groups focus on approaches to ending homelessness. The County is also a component of the Interagency Council on Homelessness — a conglomerate of Government and service providers that seek solutions to address statewide chronic homelessness through mainstream re- programming. The County will continue to participate in all levels of collaboration in a proactive effort to address the needs of its homeless community. Participation in the Continuum also allows the County to acquire other HUD funds for activities that address homeless needs within the County. The State of Hawaii is the primary agency that provides homeless funds to providers. The following is an excerpt from the State's CP which describes needs for services and facilities, the nature and extent of homelessness, existing homeless facilities and strategies for continuum of care. 2010 -14 CP Final 55 0 0 PRIORITIES 1.

Homeless Priorities The three Continuum of Care groups that make up the larger rural continuum of "Bridging the Gap " conducted needs /gap analysis surveys of their members, which include homeless providers and concerned businesses and community members. The survey became the basis for the priority rankings that were submitted by each of the rural counties to the larger continuum. The priorities assigned by each county community were then averaged to create a single priority chart representative of the Balance of State Continuum of Care. Homeless people live on the edge of a dangerous existence —physically, emotionally and psychologically. This reality makes the ranking of any area of shelter need as a "low" priority difficult. All of the shelters maintain a wait list which demonstrates that the need for shelter consistently exceeds the availability of shelter units. Generally, dollars are allocated according to the population base and geographic coverage required of service providers. The formula works very well, since Hawaii's homeless numbers are greatest in the most populated counties and smallest in the least populated county. The largest challenge is the noncontiguous nature of the islands, wherein each county is separated by ocean. Homeless services must be replicated in each county in order to make those services accessible to homeless clients. • 2010 -14 CP Final 63 0 B. STRATEGY Homeless Prevention Strategy The State Homeless Grant Program is a long standing program for homeless prevention. Individuals needing emergency financial aid to avoid losing their housing are eligible for a grant to prevent homelessness. The grant fund is also used to help the homeless with their initial security deposit or rent for permanent housing. The Hawaii Interagency Council on Homelessness and its community partners have also initiated actions to enhance mainstream services to prevent homelessness: Housing Placement -- A memorandum of'agreement between the State housing agency and the Dept. of Hu man Services provide TANFfunds for housing placement for TA NF eligible families in need of affordable rental housing. The service provides housing counseling, deposigfirst month's rent assistance, landlord cultivation, rental unit damage insurance, and landlord- tenant intervention. The program also helps holders of Section -8 vouchers and homeless families transitioning out of a shelter to find appropriate rental units. Permanent Supportive Housing — the State has placed permanent supportive housing to address the growing number of Hawaii's chronically homeless as an extremely high priority. A strategy to prevent homelessness is the development of affordable rental units which will be matched with intensive case management. Several new developments are under way to provide supportive housing. The Governor of the State of Hawaii has appointed the State Comptroller to spearhead the effort to facilitate moving the unsheltered homeless into shelter and housing as quickly as possible. As such, the Comptroller works very closely with the State Homeless Programs, the Hawaii Public Housing Authority, and the Hawaii Housing Finance Development Corporation. The latter is tasked with the creation of affordable housing for special populations, such as seniors, and the economically challenged. 0 2010 -14 CP Final 64 Homeless Access to Services and 116172eless Needs Assessment Strate . The State Homeless Outreach Program provides comprehensive geographic coverage of the state's four counties taking basic services out to the homeless on the beaches, in parks, and in the downtown streets where the homeless congregate. The program partially funds the "Care-a- Van "programs in partnership with the State Department of Health in the counties of Hawaii (two bans), Maui (one van), and Kauai (one van). Each of the vans is equipped with basic medical, food, and other emergency supplies and is staffed by a nurse and outreach case worker. The program seeks out the unsheltered homeless, provides them with basic intake, assessment, medical and social services; refers the clients to appropriate agencies; and otherwise assists the homeless in moving toward a more stable living environment, Shelter Provision Strate E. The State Homeless .Shelter Stipend Program funds emergency and transitional shelters with the intent to achieve geographic accessibility throughout the state. Homeless emergency and transitional shelters are available in all counties, but most of the shelters are full and maintain waiting lists for future vacancies. Additionally, transitional housing for the homeless with special needs is in short supply. Therefore, out of necessity, most of the state's emergency and transitional housing programs provide a broad spectrum of services to address the multiple needs of homeless clients, including substance abuse services, mental health services, life skills training, educational services, job training, and family support. Strategy for Helping Homeless Persons Make the Transition to Permanent Housing and Independent Living,_ Hawaii's emergency and transitional shelters provide a secure environment where individuals and families can stabilize their lives, address their needs and bolster their economic stability. The State's homeless programs provide funds to shelter providers wherein more than 2000 individuals annually successfully transition,into permanent housing. The program requires that each shelter address the homeless individual's or family's immediate basic needs, health and social needs, and successful transition to permanent housing. Toward this end, all shelters provide basic services, such as meals, shelter, and a clothing bank Also, each shelter performs an intake and assessment on each client that identifies the areas that the client needs to address (e.g., health, education, substance abuse problems, employment skills, etcj. These areas of need are them incorporated into a social development case plan with goals, activities and a timeline for completion, in which the client agrees to participate. The shelters also provide referrals and on -site classes or other services to assist clients in the implementation of case plans. The State public housing authority provides a preference for homeless persons on their wait list for public housing and Section -8. Additionally, the County of Hawaii provides homeowners who rent out a room to maintain their homeowner tax exemption. Additionally, the County of Hawaii has adopted a for their tenant based rental assistance for homeless persons engaged in case management. Kauai County has established a preference at their Kalepa Village for homeless transitioning from transitional shelters. Permanent Su Rp ortive Housin . The State Department of Health, Adult Mental Health Division (AMHD) has risen from the stigma of being under a Court Ordered Consent Degree to a model for best practices in evolving more readily available and appropriate services for their clients with serious rand persistent mental illness. The change is most evident in relation to the homeless 2010 -14 CP Final 65 0 mentally ill who comprise a significant portion of the State's chronically homeless population. AMHD has initiated a remarkable permanent supportive housing program for their clients, augmented .f:rther by HUD's Mainstream Section-8 vouchers. However, the State has had to respond to the severe economic downturn with cuts in State funding for programs that threaten the stability of many supportive housing programs. Programs are being examined for cost effectiveness and maximum achievement of outcome objectives. The State will continue to apply for Continuum of Care competitive grants on behalf of the rural counties to enhance the production of permanent and supportive housing as well as to continue effective programs that help the homeless to attain economic self sufficiency. The federal Shelter Plies Care program and the State Department of Health's Bridge Subsidy have been key tools to providing permanent supportive housing far the homeless mentally ill. Additionally, the State will apply for any federal "collaboration " grant opportunities through the partnerships that exist within the Interagency Council on Homelessness.. • 0 2010 -14 CP Final 66 C. NEEDS The latest point -in -time data for the State of Hawaii was collected on January 23, 2009. The count for Hawaii shows that there are 5,782 homeless persons in Hawaii at any given time during the year-. This figure represents the level of homelessness at any moment, and eliminates duplication and turnover in the homeless population, The Homeless Management Information System also provides an annual total of the number of homeless that received some sort of assistance through the service providers contracted by the State. The number of homeless persons served from February 2008 through January 2009 totals nearly 20,000 people. The two numbers demonstrate that for many, homelessness is a temporary situation, The numbers are also indicative of the economic fragility of many in Hawaii's population of 1,288,198.

Indications in Hawaii and elsewhere suggest a relationship between homelessness and economic growth which is contrary to what would be normally assumed. An increase in disposable income resultingfrom economic growth puts pressure on the housing market. Those with fewest resources are squeezed out of the market and become homeless, Contrarily, when market prices are depressed, those with the least resources are able to more readily compete. Those who have the minimum payingjobs are likely to see an increase in their buying power as rents decrease to more affordable levels and homeowners are more likely to consider renting out spare rooms or part of their housing units to generate income. Currently, Hawaii's economy, like the rest of the nation, is in a severe recession. Unemployment numbers are at record high levels, businesses are struggling to survive, and tourism is in a protracted decline. That being the case, a point -in -time count scheduled for January 2010, should be very revealing in terms of comparison with the January 2009 count when Hawaii was experiencing the continuing ebb of a very strong economy, the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, and record high property valuations. Pent -up demand is experienced in the local economy as increasing household size, crowding and doubling up. The exact impact on homelessness is hard to predict. Hawaii's cultural system allows for more generous extended family living and sharing space, so the relationship between decreasing housing availability and homelessness is very elastic. It is likely, however, that increasing economic growth, decreasing stock at the lower end of the market, and extraordinarily high rents will cause at least some increase in homelessness in the next few years as the economy rebounds, from the depressed condition of 2009. pem_ozraphic Characteristics ofHomeless Persons Statewide, over ha f of the homeless persons were males (56 to 58 %). Homeless people are primarily long -term residents of the State. More than half of them were lifetime residents or people who had been in Hawaii for 10 years or more. Newcomers (those here less than a year) made up 15 to 14 percent of the group. Unsheltered homeless people were younger than the population at large; only about five ive percent was over 60. Nearly half of the adults (46% to 52 %) had a high school diploma or GED, whereas about a quarter (24% to 270°1x) reported having some college education or completing a college degree, Another quarter of the homeless had not graduated from high school. They were considerably less educated than the rest of the population. More than two- thirds had no education beyond high school, Unsheltered homeless persons included many single - never- married persons (58 %) and divorced persons (19 %). Only 14percent of those we interviewed were currently married. Veterans were 12.5 percent of the homeless persons. The majority of homeless adults (68% to 81 %) were unemployed with the higher percentage attributable to the unsheltered. About a third of the sheltered homeless adults were employed full time or part time. A higher percentage of the sheltered adults were employed 0 2010 -14 CY Find 68 full time in Kauai (58%) and Matti (32 %) Counties compared to their counterparts in the other two counties (Hawaii, 26% and Honolulu 18 9,6). 0 Nearly three fourths (71% to 72 %) of the households receiving homeless services consisted of single individuals or couples without dependent children. Over a quarter (28%) of the households consisted of dependent children or pregnant women in households with either a single parent or couple. Of the families entering shelters with dependent children, 39 percent had one child, 31 percent had two children and another 30 percent had three or more children. Statewide, 44 percent of the households had been living unsheltered prior to shelter entry, 38 percent had been living in sheltered settings, and 18 percent had been at risk but had not yet become homeless. Nearly half (49 %) of the households who received shelter services had been homeless for less than one month prior to shelter entry. Long term homelessness (over one year) was reported by 19 percent of the households. Military veterans, most of whom received services in the City and County ofHonolulu, comprised 14% of the sheltered adults and 11 % of the unsheltered. Source: Homeless Service Utilization Report Hawaii 2008 Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Groans Hawaiians /part Hawaiians were the largest ethnic group that accessed shelter services (29 91o), closely followed by Caucasians (28 516) and Pacific Islanders (Samoans and other Pacific Islanders, 27 116). Together they comprised 84% of the total individuals served. Slight inter - island variation was observed in Maui County where Caucasians were the largest ethnic group utilizing service (40%) and Hawaii County where there were more Pacifw Islanders (40%) than Hawaiians /part Hawaiians (30 %) among shelter users. Statewide, the two largest ethnic groups receiving outreach services were Caucasians (39`16) and Hawaiians /part Hawaiians (37%), which together represented three fourths of the population served. Pacific Islanders comprised eight percent of of the population served, but accounted for higher percentages in Hawaii County (13 916) and the City and County of Honolulu (I1 %). The percentages above were derived from the intake numbers generated by the Homeless Management Information System (HIVIIS).

Continuum of Care Bridging the Gap is the union of all three rural county CoCs and has been designated as the primary planning and decision - making body, Group members often volunteer, however, members are also assigned or appointed in an effort to represent community and provider interests. County Government representatives in the CoC are assigned by members of the County Government. The selection of group leaders is either voluntary, appointed or established through election. CoC Chairs are very knowledgeable regarding the service needs of their Continuum and are elected by their group members to facilitate meetings and lead in the decision- makingprocess, Group leaders may volunteer for key positions within committees in their respective CoC. The Kauai Community Alliance (KCA) is a membership organization of affordable Housing and homeless service providers, other professionals, consumers and community representatives located on Kauai. Representatives of local and state government participate as non- voting members. KCA is the Kauai County coordinating body that develops recommendations for programs and services to fall gaps in the Homeless Continuum of Care on Kauai and provides direction and response to HUD's annual CoC competition for homeless assistance fonds. KCA also assists in implementing new or expanded programs while preserving effective existing programs. As a member of Bridging the Gap, KCA works collaboratively with the other County CoC's to provide community based planning, KCA's mission is to end homelessness and create sustainable housing options through collaborative advocacy in the County of Kauai.

To strengthen collaborative work, while continuing to gain knowledge of the community resources that will serve homeless individuals and families. Community Alliance Partners (CAP) is an organization embodied by representatives from various facets of the community that focuses on long term solutions to serve and house the homeless in Hawai `i County. CAP meets bi- monthly via video conferencing, linkingparticipanis from the east and west sides of'Hawaii County. Sub -- Committees of CAP, which may be permanent or developed temporarily, meet on a monthly basis to address specific community concerns. Although CAP works to establish and support programs and services at the local level, CAP also participates in Bridging the Gap to assist in long term planning and resource development in an effort to end homelessness statewide. 3. Most Needed Services Services that are most needed for the homeless are education, job readiness and employment training. The Homeless Service Utilization Report is compiled by the University of Hawaii Center on the Family and analyzes the data contained in the State's Homeless Management Information System. The report which is can analysis of the information gathered on the homeless that utilize homeless services each year clearly demonstrates that lack of employment skills are a major indicator of the adults who are homeless. Employment: 52% were unemployed 10% were employed part time 38% were employed full time Education: 27% had less than a high school diploma 46% had a high school diploma or GED 21% had some college education 6% had a college degree or more Additionally, the most frequently cited causes for homelessness are f nancial problems (38%) followed by family conflict (12%), followed by substance abuse (7 016) with some overlapping of f'these three leading causes. Lack of income and poor decisions on using limited resources further underline the need for employment skills and better budgeting of resources. 0 201 Oa 14 cP Final 72 Health problems also complicate the coping skills of those Who become honaelesS with more than 21% reporting mental illness, 21% reporting drug abuse, 16% reporting alcohol abuse and 10% reporting physical disability. Although many do not cite their health problems as the cause of their homelessness, these are conditions that are self reported at intake into a homeless program. Hence, mental health and substance abuse treatment are vital services that must be accessible in programs for the homeless to enable them to attain economic stability. In summary, employment, education, and mental health and drug abuse treatment are the most needed services for those who have become homeless. They are also the most needed services for homeless prevention. 4. Discharge Coordination Policy Discharge Planning — Several inroads to effective discharge planning include improved prison in -reach to veterans, speedier access to benefits for veterans exiting prison and the new inclusion of housing in early discharge planning for prisoners. Additionally, agreements between State departments have accelerated the process for disability determination for exiting prisoners who may be eligible far Social Security Income. The State has also initiated several housing initiatives for exiting offenders who would otherwise be homeless upon leaving the prison or jail system. Limited term housing with required case management is being provided for community reintegration. Exiting off enders have the opportunity to mend relations with their families and communities, ,find employment, and get treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues. Programs have been initiated in Hawaii and Maui, replete with housing and services. The federal Access to Recovery program has also been an important component of the discharge planning coordination. Additionally, the State Department of Health has an array of housing options for clients who are diagnosed as seriously and persistently mentally ill. The housing varies from 24 -hour group homes to 16 -hour group homes to 8 hour group homes, which provides clients with increasingly independent living options in their recovery. The intermediary step to completely independent living is a bridge subsidy which pays a shallow rent subsidy to enable clients to live in their own apartment even though they may have limited income such as Social Security Income or the State's General Assistance. The Bridge Subsidy enables independent living until the client can access units that have a long term subsidy. E EXISTING HOMELESS FACILITIES Since 1991, the State of Hawaii has actively developed a continuum of services to assist homeless persons to progress from an unsheltered situation to shelter and then to permanent housing and independent living. Ae Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) administers statewide homeless programs and funds designed to provide opportunity and 2010 -14 cr Final 73 0 . services to the homeless necessary to improve living conditions and to progress towards self suf ciency. 77ae state funded boneless progr ams administered by tite HPHA include the State Homeless Outreach Program, the State Homeless Shelter Stipend Program, and the State Homeless Emergency Loans and Grants Program. HPHA contracts with 31 private providers to assist, shelter, and f irther the ability of the homeless to find housing, with $14,111,698 in State appropriations annually, supplemented by $4.5 million in 7'ANF Ands and .$1.5 million in Housing and Urban Development funds. Additionally, the State received federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Actfirnding of $,16c5,8S8for homelessness prevention and rapid re- housing.

The following is a brief outline of what is contained in this Section: Section I: Goals - Activities the County plans to complete between 2010 and 2014 utilizing CDBG funds. Section II: Priorities - Priorities for allocating CDBG funds and other HUD Funds. I. Goals A. Community Development Goals — Logic Model The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Honolulu Office is requiring that the County complete the attached logic model for Community Development Goals. Chart 4 in Appendix B indicates the County's goals, problems, needs, proposed activities to be undertaken during the next five years, the activities to be completed (outputs) and the benefit of the activities (outcomes). The Goals are activities that the County will COMPLETE between 2014 and 2014 utilizing its CDBG grant. B. No-rative. Community Development Goals There are many community development needs in the County of Hawa.i`i.

Priorities The County's CP Priorities will be used to allocate CDBG and /or HOME funds in accordance with project eligibility requirements and program rules. (Higher points will be awarded to project proposals that address high priority activities in accordance with the County's Request for Project Proposal System..) The County's CP priorities will also be used to determine if projects applying for other HUD funds (SuperNOFA) are consistent with its CP. (High and Medium Priorities will be considered consistent with the County's CP.) The following are the County's CP Priorities: High Priorities • Housing - Housing for households earning less than 8011/o of median income [i.e., rental, homeownership, special needs, homeless and activities which will produce new housing (i.e., water, streets, environmental activities, planning, etc.)] • Public Health and Safetv - Activities that protect the health and safety of the residents in Hawai'i County.

Narrative: Community Development Priorities • Basis /rationale for assigning priorities The County has given a high priority to activities that enable the production of new affordable housing, provide health and safety, compliance with federal mandates and court orders and construct new or renovate public facilities. The rationale for establishing the priority is that government must help subsidize housing cost for persons earning less than 80% of the median income in order to produce new units. The private sector cannot do it alone. Public health and safety is also a high priority, Fire and police protection is one of the most important functions and responsibilities of County government. The County must comply with federal mandates and ADA court orders in order to continue to receive federal funds. Lastly, in order to support much needed public service programs we must up keep existing public facilities or support construction of new facilities to house them. Funding from all sources is the key to keep and make Hawaii a great place to live. • r1 �J 2010.14 CP Final 79 0 0 • • Obstacles The major obstacle to meet the community development priorities is the lack of financial resources. The County hopes to leverage other sources of funds and to seek other new resources. • General priorities for allocating federal funds geographically The County does not allocate its federal funds geographically. A request for proposal process is used to allocate funds to activities. General priorities for allocating federal funds The request for proposal process for the HOME and CDBG fiends is designed to assign points based on various criteria. One of the criteria is the consistency with the County's CP and its priorities. Projects that address the high priority activities will be awarded higher points than medium or low priority projects. 2010 -14CP Final 80 • APPENDICES • • 2010 -14 CP Final 81 U Appendix A: Comprehensive Housing Strategy Data Tables • • 10 -14 CP Final 82 • • u CRI po INA CIS d b �.I 1� O �.r a A A a� Iri i. x � k b a= i �11 , F , W r L INI F r 'L I � w - -1: �!5 ice• 17 F F 1 '. k.

The intent is to ensure the long -term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including the comprehensive planning requirements. Upon approval of the CDBG and HOME program funds, the County of Hawai' i meets with each recipient. During this meeting, the County explains the contents of the agreement and all of the requirements for the specific project. The County has developed various checklists (bid, construction, labor standards, acquisition, etc.) that are distributed to each recipient, The checklist indicates the process and the documentation requirements. The checklist also requires that the County approve agreements, documents, notices, etc. prior to its use or execution. This ensures that the documents meet the federal requirements of the program. Recipients are required to submit all executed and completed documents to the County for its files. Recipients are also subject to audits and monitoring visits by auditors and HUD. This is an ongoing process. The County works with the recipient through every step of the project. Training and technical assistance is done inunediately if errors or non - compliance are found. For projects involved with facility rehabilitation or construction, the County conducts site visits to verify work progress, to conduct labor interviews, and verify project progress payments. In addition, the agreement executed between the County and recipient requires the recipient to submit monthly status reports to the County. This ongoing monitoring process is preferred to the usual monitoring and audit of projects during the middle or at the completion of the project. This system enables the County to work with the recipients through every step of the project implementation. The process ensures compliance prior to executing any actions, instead of reviewing files after the fact. For the HOME Investment Partnership Program, the County is responsible for monitoring the County of Hawai'i HOME Projects. The County provides technical assistance and monitoring during project development and implementation, as well as during the appropriate period of affordability. The County maintains documentation of its project monitoring for review by the State during their monitoring of the County's HOME Program. • 2010 -14 CP Final 143 Appendix G: Citizen Participation Plan 2010 -14 CP Final 144 4. • CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN A Plan for Citizen Input and Involvement in the Community Development Block Grant HOME Investment Partnership Programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development County of Hawai'i Office of Housing and Community Development 50 Wailuku Drive Hilo, Hawai' i 96720 Telephone: (808) 961 -8379 Approved.

In cases of emergencies and/or in situations as declared by the Mayor, or in his absence his authorized representative, to be of particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate hazard or threat to the health and welfare of the public which is a direct result from flooding, tidal wave (tsunami), earthquake, or other natural causes, the County will utilize its unencumbered CDBG fiords for eligible CDBG /HOME activities as determined by the OHCD, to alleviate these threatening conditions. Due to the immediate urgency of these situations, the County will at a later date publish a public notice to inform its citizens of the actual expenditure of these CDBG funds. In all case scenarios above, the County will submit a description of its amendment(s) to HUD on its proposed changes. 2010 -14 CY Final 152 0 FXNLBIT t "SAMPLE" CONSOLIDATED /ACTION PLAN AND CDBG/HOME APPLICATION SCHEDULE DATA TASK (Month, Day, Year) Public hearing to hear the Housing & Community Development needs and explain the application procedures, and Consolidated /Action Plan process, (Month, Day, Year) Hilo: County Council Room, (Time, a.m. /p.m.) Na`alehu; Na'alehu Club House, (Time, a.mJp.rn.)

A public notice isissued, listing the location, date and time of the public hearings. In order for the County to provide outreach to low and moderate income citizens, the public hearings are held in areas designated as low and moderate income areas. The purpose of the public hearings is to hear comments from citizens on housing and community development needs and the past performance of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) CDBG and HOME Program funds. Along with the public notice informing the community about the public hearings, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for CDBG and HOME projects is published. The County of Hawaii utilizes a RFP process to allocate the CDBG and HOME fiords. A deadline is given for all project proposals to be submitted to the County of Hawaii. Project proposals submitted must comply with the program criteria; meet eligibility requirements, program objectives, and be consistent with the County's priorities and objectives as contained in the County's Consolidated Plan. The project proposals are reviewed, ranked and selected for the County's annual Action Plan. The County's proposed Action Plan, listing the proposed CDBG/HOME projects, is drafted and a public notice is published in the local newspapers, announcing the availability of the proposed Action Plan for public review and comment. The general public has thirty days to continent on the county's proposed Action Plan. After the thirty day comment period expires, a public meeting held by the Hawaii county Housing Agency (HCHA) is scheduled for the purpose of approving projects submitted in the annual Action Plan to be funded by the CDBG/HOME program. Following the action of the HCHA, a public meeting of the Hawaii County Council will be held to authorize the Mayor to sign and submit the County's Action Plan to HUD. These public meetings are open to the public. Interested person can submit their comments in person or writing. Upon the Mayor signing the County's Action Plan a public notice is published in the local newspapers announcing the availability of the County's final Action Plan. After the public review period expires the County's Action Plan is submitted to HUD. • 2010 -14 CP Final 153
