CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes

Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)

DHCD was generally very successful in carrying out the goals identified in its last Plan. The State's goals in that plan were to provide affordable housing, promote homeownership, and revitalize communities. DHCD actually exceeded its goals for rental assistance and met goal for providing housing under the "Special Needs" programs. We also exceeded our goal for producing units of affordable rental housing. The Department was on trend with the national housing market and continues to make homeownership for Marylander’s a priority. In terms of community revitalization efforts; DHCD was also successful in this area in achieving its goals. Project Creating Opportunities for Renewal and Enterprise (C.O.R.E.) continues to address Blight in Baltimore City's most stressed neighborhoods through demolition and stabilization.

HOME Program - $ 5,762,762.00 was received in HOME Funding for FY19 -$4 mil was to be used to fund new Multi-Family projects that would be

underway within one year$ 1,086,486 was allocated to be used for single family rehabilitation, replacement/reconstruction and group home

projects for the upcoming year. In addition to these funds program income was received during the previous, year FY 18, of $2,432,938.49.

Program income funds were banked for FY 19. 13 units were completed which included one multi-family rental project consisting of 59 units of

which six were HOME units. Seven single family homeowner rehabilitation/replacement housing projects were also completed.

The CDBG Program funds a variety of eligible CDBG activities that meet local needs and State priorities. Each year, the State estimates the types

of projects that could be funded based on what was awarded in previous years. The State’s Method of Distribution is included in the

Consolidated Plan and describes the State’s CDBG process. The method allows for eligible jurisdictions to apply for funding to meet a variety of

local needs. Applications are received through the Community Development Round which provides funding through a competitive process.

Additionally, applications are awarded through the Homeless Initiative and the Special Projects set aside.

In the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Action Plans, the State CDBG program estimates what types of projects we think we might fund based

on what was funded in previous years. The State sets goals and priorities and the applicant submits applications that are eligible for funding

based on their needs. The types of projects funded will not necessarily match what the State estimated at the times the Consolidation Plan or

Action Plans were created.

CAPER 2


The CDBG Program approved $7,934,191.05 for 19 new projects and 11 amendments for existing grants. Project activities include the

construction or improvements of water and sewer systems, streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure; the rehabilitation or renovation of

housing units; blight removal, the renovation or construction of community facilities and buildings; and numerous activities that will assist

homeless persons. These activities leveraged $11.2 million which represented 58% of the total development costs from other federal, state, local

and private resources.

Table 1 below reflects data inputted into the HUD IDIS system. The CDBG program does not input new projects into IDIS until Grantees request

their first payment due to other HUD reporting issues. Therefore, the chart does not accurately represent what was funded during the program

year. The Revised Table 1 in the appendix for CDBG identifies what the State estimated, what was actually funded, and what measurements had

been met by those activities before the end of the Program Year. As typical, the reports submitted to the State for recently funded projects

reflect minimal accomplishments as of June 30, 2020. Grantees have a two year time period for grant activity. The list of funded projects can

also be found in the appendix.

Under the ESG program, DHCD significantly exceeded program year goals for providing tenant-based rental assistance, overnight emergency

shelter, and homeless prevention. DHCD continued to shift more funding into evidence-based interventions to reduce homelessness such as

rapid re-housing, which resulted in a reduction of emergency shelter beds as clients were served more efficiently with permanent housing.

Comparison of the proposed versus actual outcomes for each outcome measure submitted with the consolidated plan and explain, if applicable, why progress was not made toward meeting goals and objectives. 91.520(g) Categories, priority levels, funding sources and amounts, outcomes/objectives, goal outcome indicators, units of measure, targets, actual outcomes/outputs, and percentage completed for each of the grantee’s program year goals.

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date

CAPER 9


Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,

giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

The CDBG Program funds a variety of eligible CDBG activities that meet local needs and State priorities. Each year, the State estimates the types of projects that could be funded based on what is eligible and what was funded in the previous funding year. The State's Method of Distribution allows for eligible jurisdictions to apply for funding to meet their needs. Funds are awarded through three funding categories: (1) Community Development - competitive process awards majority of funds for different types of projects; (2) Homeless Initiative - competitive process to fund projects that benefit the homeless; and (3) Special Projects – provides funding when needed for planning, economic development and time sensitive projects.

The priority for ESG funds is to prevent homelessness and assist homeless households with quickly regaining safe and affordable housing. Homeless prevention funds were used to divert households from the homeless shelter system and restabilize their housing. For households who could not avoid becoming homeless, they were provided with low barrier emergency shelter and assessed quickly for permanent housing options. ESG rapid re-housing projects served 13% more households in 2019 than the prior year. Approximately 70% of people served in ESG emergency shelter projects resided there less than 90 days

Table 3 - Resources Made Available

Narrative During the reporting period, the State funded projects addressing local needs that were to be built on

public land or utilizing publicly owned buildings. Under the CDBG Program, two projects are on public

land. One involved the renovation of existing housing owned by a county and another involves the

construction of a park. Both projects are underway.

ESG program funds have a two-year expenditure period. Over the course of the program year, 55% of 2019 ESG funds were expended. To date, 82% of 2018 ESG funds have been expended. The National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) is a permanent federal fund authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA). HERA imposes a requirement on all new business generated by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to finance the fund. The intent is to provide states with funding to build, rehabilitate, and preserve housing affordable to Extremely Low Income (ELI) renters. Extremely Low Income renters are those that make income at or below 30% AMI. The Department awarded approximately $8.7 million in Housing Trust Funds across the state.

DHCD has fully complied with all provisions of our approved HTF Allocation Plan and all of the requirements of 24 CFR Part 93. Five (5) multi-family rental projects are currently under construction utilizing HTF funding. These were located in the towns of Baltimore City, Washington, Garett and Montgomery County. Projects supported to date include:

Additionally, the Department reserved $755,787 for Princess Anne Townhomes in Somerset County, the project is scheduled to close in November 2020. DHCD also reserved $796,677 from the 019 appropriate and anticipates reserving HTF from the 2020 appropriation for the second phase of McCleary Hill in Washington County. All HTF-designated units in these properties serve households with incomes below 30% AMI.

Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments

Target Area Planned Percentage of Allocation

Actual Percentage of Allocation

Narrative Description

Table 4 – Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments

Narrative

Housing data provided by HUD revealed a similarity of need from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in Maryland.

For example, if the percentage of “small, very low- income renter families” with housing needs was 65

percent statewide, virtually every jurisdiction within the State was within a few percentage points of the

statewide average. In the survey of needs completed for the five year Plan, questions regarding

infrastructure, community development, and economic development needs also indicated a similarity of

need from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Since similar needs exist throughout the State, the State will not target its funds to certain jurisdictions,

except as established by law. For example the State’s allocation of CDBG funds may only be used in non-

entitlement areas. Since there is a major emphasis on directing resources to growth areas and areas in

need of revitalization, we will generally be targeting funds to projects located in Priority Funding Areas

CAPER 13


(PFAs) as well. The information below provides an outline of how funds will be targeted.

CAPER 14


HUD also asks if or how funds will be specifically targeted to areas of minority concentration. In its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, the State defined a “high concentration” of minority households as a census tract where the percentage of minority households is at least 10% greater than the county average. Based on this definition, of the 46 census tracts in Maryland’s non-entitlement areas during period of analysis, 25 or slightly over 7% had census tracts of high minority concentration. DHCD targets its funding to Priority Funding Areas (PFAs). Of the 25 tracts with concentrations 15 have concentrations due to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, hospital centers, military bases, or prisons. Of the remaining 10 tracts 9 are all located within PFAs. Because of DHCD’s emphasis on targeting PFAs, areas of minority concentration are targeted for assistance through the State’s housing and community revitalization programs. (One sole concentration in Charles County is located outside a PFA and is a minority concentration, but is not a low income concentration. See the States Five Year Plan’s discussion of concentrations and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice for more information.)

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically DHCD supports community revitalization through Sustainable Community and Smart Growth efforts. The reason for this is to both have strong communities, as well to use resources in an intelligent, sustainable manner. Relatedly, at the national level, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have committed to coordinate their capital investments in alignment with the following six “Livability Principles”:

1. Support existing communities. Target public and private resources toward existing communities—through strategies like transit oriented, mixed-use development, and land recycling—to increase community revitalization and the efficiency of public works investments and to safeguard rural landscapes.

2. Value communities and neighborhoods. Enhance the unique characteristics of all communities by investing in healthy, safe, and walkable neighborhoods—rural, urban, or suburban.

3. Coordinate and leverage policies and investment. Align policies and funding to remove barriers to

collaboration, leverage funding, and increase the accountability and effectiveness of all levels of

government to plan for future growth, including making smart energy choices such as locally generated

renewable energy.

4. Enhance economic competitiveness. Improve economic competitiveness through reliable and timely

access to employment centers, educational opportunities, services and other basic needs by workers, as

well as expanded business access to markets.

5. Promote equitable, affordable housing. Expand location and energy-efficient housing choices for

people of all ages, incomes, races, and ethnicities to increase mobility and lower the combined cost of

housing and transportation.

6. Provide more transportation choices. Develop safe, reliable, and economical transportation choices

CAPER 15


to decrease household transportation costs, reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, improve air

quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote public health.

The State of Maryland’s Sustainable Communities echo these federal policies, directing State resources to efforts that carry out these goals and the State’s goals for communities.

Discussion

For more information and a list of Sustainable Communities in Maryland by County, please visit DHCD’s website at the following address: http://dhcd.maryland.gov/Communities/Pages/dn/default.aspx

Under the CDBG Program, three projects involved the construction of buildings to be used for community facilities that were to be built on property owned by county school boards. Another included the renovation of a former school building for community uses that is still owned by the county school board. All three projects are underway.

Leveraging

Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The HOME Programs total commited funds from all sources for projects completed was $

21,154,408.00 of which $ 2,217,012.00 was HOME funding. Tax credits, private funding and state

programs were used as additional funding for leveraging.

In SFY20 (ESG 2019), the State of Maryland allocated $4,921,698 for the Homelessness Solutions

Program, which provides funding for reducing and eliminating homelessness throughout the State. From

those funds, $1,121,541 were set aside for the purposes of matching the federal Emergency Solutions

Grant, meeting the dollar-for-dollar requirement. Approximately $1 million in additional matching funds

were also made available for outreach, shelter, and rapid re-housing programs targeted specifically to

homeless youth and young adults.

Table 12 – Number of Households Supported

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

*The State uses a method of distribution for funding and does not have numerical goals for the number

of homeless persons that will be assisted. The 9,000 non homeless persons assisted include producing

about 1,500 homeownership units, financing about 2,000 new apartments, providing Tenant Based

Rental Assistance to about 3,000 households, and rehabilitating about 2,500 housing units with

weatherization and other funding. The Special needs households assisted includes a combination of

households assisted with HOPWA funding, Group Home and SHOP funding, rental assistance through

CAPER 21


the 811 program, assistance under the Homeownership for Individuals With Disabilities program, and

handicapped units produced under the Qualified Allocation Plan for LIHTC. In 2018, DHCD produced

3,927 units of housing 2,333 new housing units and preserved 1,594 units of housing.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

Note that the goals above are slightly lower than the goals listed for the numbers of households

assisted. This is to prevent double counting. For example, persons with Special Needs will be helped

with rental assistance, as well as the production of new units. So they will be assisted in newly produced

units while receiving rental assistance at the same time. The Rental Assistance category in general is

also “front loaded”, as it includes all of the households who are assisted with Section 8, as well as

HOPWA and RAP and Section 811 funding. In future years this number will be significantly lower as we

will not double count the Section 8 numbers, and only count persons assisted with HOPWA, RAP and

811 funding.

Narrative Information

The Department is actively and regularly engaged in creating housing and service opportunities for the

disabled and special needs populations including worst case needs. Through its rental housing

programs, DHCD works closely with other State agencies (most notably the Department of Disabilities,

the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services) in creating housing for these

populations in integrated, community-based settings through programs such as 811, Bridge Subsidy, and

the Weinberg initiative. DHCD also operates a Group Home Financing Program that provides financing

for community-based group home opportunities. Through its Rental Services division, DHCD administers

vouchers for worst case needs populations including persons with HIV/AIDS (through HOPWA) and

veterans (through VASH).

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending

homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their

individual needs

The local Continuums of Care continue to assess the needs of homeless persons and their individual

needs as part of their operations. This includes surveys conducted during the annual Point-In-Time

Count as well as through regular street outreach. In 2020, Maryland achieved 95% participation from

non-entitlement Continuums of Care in the unsheltered count.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

The emergency shelter and transitional housing needs continue to be addressed through a wide variety

of tools and programs operated by the Continuums of Care. There is an extensive network of homeless

shelters and transitional housing in Maryland. In addition, communities utilize motel placements to

temporarily house individuals and families as they make the transition from homelessness.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely

low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after

being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care

facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections

programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that

address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

The State has several programs that assist homeless individuals who are homeless are at risk of

becoming homeless. This includes Eviction Prevention efforts taken through both State (such as RAP)

and federal (such as ESG) funds. In addition the HTF Program will serve ELI households at 30% or below

AMI. The Department of Health has the lead role for individuals who are likely to become homeless

after being discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of care. The types of activities they

undertake in coordination with other State agencies (such as DHCD, Corrections, DHR, and others)

include: Supporting consumers and family members in navigating the PMHS; Coordinating outreach

services for individuals who are homeless and experiencing mental illnesses; Assisting in developing

transition plans for consumers returning to the community from prisons and jails; Facilitating discharge

planning for children and adolescents in residential placement or residential level services; Screening

individuals for whom admission to an inpatient facility is requested to determine whether a

less restrictive alternative can be provided; Collaborating with acute care and state hospital facilities to

facilitate transition to the community for individuals leaving inpatient care; Granting access to the PMHS

for uninsured clients in crisis; Managing care for high-cost users to ensure they receive the

CAPER 23


most appropriate care in the least restrictive settingLocal Addictions Authorities also have a roll in this

effort. This includes: Assisting and supporting consumers and families in accessing substance use

disorder services; Coordinating with other service systems to provide outreach to homeless persons who

are in need of substance use disorder services; Providing or facilitating pre-trial and community re-entry

services to incarcerated individuals returning to the community; Assessing all individuals requesting

residential services for appropriate level of care; Granting access to residential treatment beds when

necessary, and Managing care for all residential clients to assure continuity of care. Homeless discharge

coordination policies are established by the local CoCs.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families

with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to

permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that

individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals

and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were

recently homeless from becoming homeless again

The State used a variety of programs and resources to help homeless persons make the transition to

permanent housing and independent living, and prevent individuals and families who were recently

homeless from becoming homeless againThe State’s transitional shelters provided the services and

training homeless individuals needed to make the transition to permanent housing, including supportive

housing or affordable housing. Individuals and families are typically put on the Section 8 waiting list for

affordable housing and the State actively uses and works to obtain funding that can be used for various

homeless populations such as VASH Vouchers, or Section 811 funding that is used in conjunction with

persons with disabilities as they are deinstitutionalized from hospital settingsFederal ESG funding, which

is matched dollar for dollar with State funding, was used to provide rapid rehousing and shorten the

time period individuals and families are homeless. To prevent them from becoming homeless again,

service providers provided these individuals and households supportive services to provide them with

the skills they need to remain in permanent housing. Families and individuals were also put onto

Federal Section 8 Voucher waiting lists, and the State operates its own programs that provided short

term rental assistance while families and individuals move up the list so that they have the resources

they need to pay the rent and not return to homelessness

CAPER 24


CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing

DHCD does not operate a public housing program it is a Housing Choice Voucher only Public Housing

Agency (PHA). DHCD worked on major projects with the Baltimore City Public Housing Authority, among

others, to revitalize properties through the RAD Demonstration Program. This multi year effort is

expected to rehabilitate over 15,000 public housing units in Baltimore City and other counties in the

next few years

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in

management and participate in homeownership

DHCD established a homeownership program for Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holders several

years ago and will offer its Section 8 homeownership program to participants of who have been assisted

for at least three (3) years the option to purchase a home with rental assistance through the tenant

based voucher program. In addition, PHA residents may be eligible applicants under DHCD’s

homeownership programs which offer down payment and closing cost assistance and reduced interest

rates to first time homebuyers

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

As part of the 1998 Quality Housing and Workforce Responsibility Act (QHWRA), Maryland and other

States must describe how they would assist troubled PHAs with "financial or technical assistance" to

help them lose their troubled status. HUD scores PHAs on their management practices and the physical

quality of their units - a SEMAP or PHAS score under 60% results in a PHA being given "troubled" status.

In the event a PHA is designated as troubled, DHCD will cooperate with HUD to provide technical

assistance to help the PHA lose its troubled status. The type of assistance offered will be based on the

findings in HUD's scoring that resulted in the PHA's troubled status. Examples of technical assistance

DHCD will offer could include asset management, property management, or day-to-day operations, as

appropriate. (We would note that while we can provide some assistance, HUD’s Office of Public and

Indian Housing (PIH) requires troubled PHAs to get assistance from HUD approved TA providers such as

Nan McKay or NAHRO. DHCD is not a HUD-approved TA provider.)In addition, troubled PHAs, regardless

of whether they are located in entitlement or non-entitlement jurisdictions, are eligible applicants for

DHCD's housing rehabilitation programs, including for the rehabilitation of both multi-family and single

family properties. Crisfield Housing Authority (CHA) was designated as a troubled PHA for fiscal issues In

2018, DHCD worked with CHA and the Baltimore HUD office to successfully consolidated the balance of

the Crisfield Housing Authority (CHA) housing choice vouchers on and begin administration of the

CAPER 25


vouchers on schedule. Effective January 1, 2019, HUD’s office of Housing Choice Voucher Programs

(OHVP) approved the transfer of the Housing Choice Voucher Program units and associated budget

authority from the Crisfield Housing Authority (CHA) to the Maryland Department of Housing and

Community Development (DHCD). The Baltimore Office of Public Housing will ensure that CHA has

procured a close-out financial review per requirements in PIH Notice 2018-12, to include submission of

all required financial information needed to close-out its HCV program for FY 2018 in the PIH sub-

systems. Additionally, for the fiscal year end dates 12/31/17, the Wicomico County Housing was listed as

troubled. DHCD continues to work with PHA’s to provide resources training and technical assistance and

intends to assist public housing agencies (PHAs) as they prepare to apply for conversion of assistance

under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) pursuant to PIH Notice 2012-32 (Notice).

CAPER 26


CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as

barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning

ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the

return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)

The State does not have policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing. The State does not have

policies affecting the return on residential investment, nor does it have control over zoning. The State

also does not have tax policies affecting land, nor does it charge fees for building. The State does have

some control over building codes, and adopted the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) in 2015,

which became effective 2016. DHCD operates a Rehab Code Hotline which is a toll free number to help

people determine code requirements for their projects. The use of the IEBC actually reduces barriers to

affordable housing not only because it standardizes code, but also because it allows communities to

receive technical assistance including code interpretations from the International Code Council which

they would otherwise be unable to access. The State also follows the 2015 International Energy

Conservation Code, and the International Green Conservation Code, both of which make housing more

affordable by reducing energy costs as well as promoting sustainable development.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The special needs populations in Maryland consist of persons with disabilities, including persons with mental, physical, or developmental disabilities; the elderly and frail elderly; persons with alcohol or other drug addiction; persons with HIV/AIDS and their families; and public housing residents. These special needs populations constitute Maryland’s poorest residents and those with the most severe housing burdens. They desperately need affordable and accessible housing. While the types of disabilities and reasons for low incomes may vary across the differing special need populations, the common characteristic is the need for an affordable place to call home. For all populations, accessible housing that is affordable is the most critical need.

The State has several programs that assist homeless individuals who are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. The Homelessness Solutions Program (HSP) includes a variety of both federal and state funding sources, including ESG, that focus on homelessness prevention and providing rental assistance that keep families from becoming homeless.

The Department is actively and regularly engaged in creating housing and service opportunities for the

disabled and special needs populations. Through its rental housing programs, DHCD works closely with

other State agencies (most notably the Department of Disabilities, the Department of Health and the

Department of Human Services) in creating housing for these populations in integrated, community-

based settings through programs such as 811, Bridge Subsidy, and the Weinberg initiative. DHCD also

operates a Group Home Financing Program that provides financing for community-based group home

opportunities.

CAPER 27


Through its Rental Services division, DHCD administers vouchers for special needs populations including persons with HIV/AIDS (through HOPWA) and veterans (through VASH). DHCD was awarded 75 project based VASH vouchers through a competitive process for a development Perry Point Veterans Village in Cecil County in addition to the 90 tenant based VASH vouchers. The Department of Health has the lead role for individuals who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of care. The types of activities they undertake in coordination with other State agencies (such as DHCD, Corrections, DHS, and others) include:

Supporting consumers and family members in navigating the PMHS

Coordinating outreach services for individuals who are homeless and experiencing mental

illnesses

Assisting in developing transition plans for consumers returning to the community from prisons

and jails

Facilitating discharge planning for children and adolescents in residential placement or

residential level services

Screening individuals for whom admission to an inpatient facility is requested to determine

whether a less restrictive alternative can be provided

Collaborating with acute care and state hospital facilities to facilitate transition to the

community for individuals leaving inpatient care

Granting access to the PMHS for uninsured clients in crisis

Managing care for high-cost users to ensure they receive the most appropriate care in the least

restrictive setting

Local Addictions Authorities also have a roll in this effort. This includes:

Assisting and supporting consumers and families in accessing substance use disorder services

Coordinating with other service systems to provide outreach to homeless persons who are in

need of substance use disorder services

Providing or facilitating pre-trial and community re-entry services to incarcerated individuals

returning to the community

Assessing all individuals requesting residential services for appropriate level of care

Granting access to residential treatment beds when necessary, and

Managing care for all residential clients to assure continuity of care

Persons who are not homeless but who require supportive housing are served in a number of settings.

These settings range from institutions to independent housing integrated in the community. The

housing setting is determined based on the individuals need and choice, as well as availability and

affordability of appropriate housing. DHCD works in concert with MDH and the Maryland Department of

Disabilities (MDOD) to offer housing programs that meet the needs of persons with disabilities, including

people transitioning from mental health and physical health institutions. The programs are discussed in

CAPER 28


greater detail below.

MDH operates the following Home and Community- Based Service (HCBS) waivers, serving over 25,000

people as an alternative to institutionalization: the Community Pathways Wavier, which serves 14,070

persons with intellectual and/ or developmental disabilities; the Home and Community- based Options

wavier ( formally the Living at Home and Older Adult waivers) which transitioned 1,095 individuals

during the years of 2011-2013 and assists 3,904 adults; the Brain Injury waiver, which assists 47 adults

with brain injuries acquired after the age of 22; the medical Day Care Waiver, which serves 4,600

individuals aged 16 and above.

In addition to HCBS, MDH also provides state plan services such as Medical Assistance Personal Care

(serves 5,400 adults) and Community First Choice. MDH’s Mental Hygiene Administration (MHA) also

provides community based supports to individuals with behavioral health disabilities, which is limited to

Medicaid eligibility and adults. MHA has provided psychiatric rehabilitation services to 2,819 individuals

and other supportive services to 8,704 individuals. Additionally, DDA’s Waitlist Equity Fund is utilized to

fund services for individuals transitioning from Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with

Intellectual Disabilities (ICFs/IID), which are called State Residential Centers (SRCs), as well as for people

not yet receiving services.

MDH has also developed Community First Choice (CFC), a new section 1915(k) program under Section

2401 of the Affordable Care Act. CFC consolidated overlapping services within the Medical Assistance

Personal Care, Living at Home, and Older Adults Wavier programs into a unified and expanded program.

MDH offers all required and optional services allowed in CFC in a self- direction or agency model. This

has increased access to vital services that prevent institutionalization and hospitalization for many State

plan only participants.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

DHCD continues to be pro-active and operates its own lead abatement program funded with State

appropriations that help control lead hazards. In addition to requiring lead abatement for all HUD

funded projects, the Department also requires it when used with its own funds or other resources such

as Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. The Maryland Department of the Environment enforces

lead paid reduction and control rules for landlords which also helps substantially reduce childhood

exposure to lead based paint.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The State of Maryland is strongly committed to reducing the number of households in Maryland living in

poverty. The citizens of Maryland recognize that persons who live in poverty need a combination of

social services and economic opportunities to get back on their feet. The State’s Temporary Assistance

for Need Families (TANF) is the State’s plan for helping families get out of poverty it can be found on

CAPER 29


DHS’s website. In addition to the TANF Plan, DHCD undertakes additional efforts to help families who

are in poverty. This is done primarily through the Community Services Block Grant Program (CSBG)

which is funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). CSBG funds are

granted to states in order to ameliorate the causes of poverty. To this end, the State allocates CSBG

funds to the State’s 17 local Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and one Limited Purpose Agency (LPA)

which in turn provide a range of services and activities having a measurable and potentially major

impact on causes of poverty within a community. HHS has issued six broad national objectives for the

CSBG program. Within these national objectives, the CAAs of Maryland are using and have chosen the

following national objectives and indicators that assist low-income participants to achieve the

following:Family Self-sufficiency: Low-income people become more self-sufficient; Community

Revitalization: The conditions in which low-income people live are improved; Community

Investment: Low-income people own a stake in their community; Community Capacity

Building: Partnerships among supporters and providers of services to low-income people are achieved;

Agency Capacity Building: Agencies increase their capacity to achieve results; and Family Stability: Low-

income people, especially vulnerable populations, achieve their potential by strengthening family and

other supportive systems.Furthermore, the State emphasizes those actions undertaken with the CSBG

program: Focus resources toward the most needy; Provide employment opportunities for low-income

persons; Close service gaps and Enable low-income persons to participate in community action

programs and projects.DHCD’s focused on working with CAAs through inter-agency coordination and

capacity building. This included facilitating the coordination of resources and offering training in a

variety of areas including housing, community development, fiscal oversight, board management,

etc. By linking agencies with other partners, including those receiving HUD funding, and assisting with

building their capacity, CAAs better prepared to carry out goals involved with helping families become

both stable and self-sufficient. In addition, it enabled CAAs to compete for DHCD funds that promoted

community revitalization and investment.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The State used inter-departmental forums and meetings to coordinate resources, develop consistent

policies and methods to achieve stated goals and objectives. DHCD has enacted several new policies in

the past several years to improve the ability of developers to provide affordable rental housing. These

programs include the rental housing preservation initiative with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur

Foundation, streamlined bond program, the reopening of MHRP-MF, and changes to PRHP. The

MacArthur Foundation preservation initiative includes working with HUD and the nine counties

impacted most heavily by the BRAC to standardize underwriting for preservation projects, and working

with the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) and Public Service Commission (PSC) to strengthen

energy efficiency and green building initiatives. Community Development coordination was improved

and streamlined through the State’s Development Plan, as well as the federal and State Sustainable

Community Initiatives.

CAPER 30


Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service

agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

DHCD has a uniform application and process for allocating tax credits that is also used in award rental

housing funds from State and federal resources. The uniform application and allocation process was

developed in 1995 to improve coordination of all programs providing funding for multifamily rental

housing projects. Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits will continue to be awarded through DHCD’s

uniform allocation process for multi-family housing.

In addition:

DHCD worked with MDH and MDoD on the State’s Section 811 demonstration program which

provided rental assistance to individuals with disabilities so that they can become self-sufficient

while expanding housing choice.

Through a partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacAuther Foundation, DHCD worked

with nine (9) counties in Maryland in a coordinated manner to foster affordable rental housing

DHCD worked with Department of Disabilities (DoD) and the Department of Human Services

(DHS) to provide housing for very low income Marylanders. DHCD continues to coordinatie the

use of two Weinberg Grants with DoD and DHS on this effort.

DHCD continues its coordination for energy efficiency with MEA, PSC, weatherization and

sources of funding from HUD, DOE, PSC and utility companies.

DHCD continues to fund and operate its own Homeownership for Individuals with Disabilities

Program, working with MDH and other agencies to enable persons with disabilities, families with

disabled children and borrowers who are guardians for an immediate family member who is

disabled to purchase their home.

DHCD worked with the State’s Housing Authorities to provide technical support and financing to

help them rehabilitate their properties. On a regular basis, DHCD staff met with executive

director of Public Housing Authorities (both in individual and group setting) to discuss specific

financing strategies for their projects. This includes RAD demonstration projects discussed in

one year goals.

DHCD worked with the Maryland Department of Aging and the Maryland Department of Health to carry out the Accessible Housing Loan and Grant Program which was authorized as its own stand-alone program in the 2013 legislative session.

DHCD’s Division of Neighborhood Revitalization works with local Continuums of Care to continue to find solutions to help homeless, including increased coordination and participation in funding efforts under Emergency Solutions Grant Program.

DHCD’s Division of Community Development Association and Division of Neighborhood

Revitalization coordinated with the Governor’s Office of Business Advocacy and Small Business

Assistance (GOBA) and the Office of Minority Affairs, as well as the Maryland Department of

Transportation (MDOT) and the Maryland Department of Commerce to increase their

awareness of the Neighborhood Business Works (NBW), Maryland Capital Access and Linked

Deposit Program and the gap financing, credit assurance/ loan loss reserves and interest rate

CAPER 31


buy downs available for state-up and expanding small and micro businesses located in

revitalization areas across the State.

DHCD’s Division of Community Development Association continues to collaborate with the U.S.

Small Business Administration to promote the Neighborhood Business Works Program.

DHCD’s Division of Division of Neighborhood Revitalization will continue to work with the

Maryland Department of the Environment and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to cross refer

infrastructure projects to the most appropriate funding source.

DHCD’s Division of Division of Neighborhood Revitalization woredk with the Small Business

Development Center Network and other providers of support to small and micro business in

order to generate new referrals of small business seeking gap financing.

DHCD’s and Division of Neighborhood Revitalization coordinated marketing of the Community

Investment Tax Credit program with both internal and external partners including but not

limited to the local Community Development Corporations and Community Action Agencies,

Main Street Maryland organizations, the HOPE Counseling Network, the Maryland Historical

Trust, the Maryland’s Comptroller’s Division of Revenue Administration, the Maryland

Association of Nonprofit Organizations, the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, The Maryland

Association of Realtors, the Maryland Economic Development Association and the Maryland

Association of Certified Public Accountants.

DHCD’s Division of Neighborhood Revitalization coordinated with the Maryland Departments of

Natural Resources, Health and Mental Hygiene, Aging, and Transportation regarding projects

that can be jointly funded.

DHCD’s Division of Neighborhood Revitalization continues tocoordinate with its primary

customers- local governments, community development corporations, nonprofit organizations,

and small businesses to provide a variety of technical and financial resources.

DHCD worked with the Governor’s Grants Office, as well as eligible applicants, in obtaining both

federal and foundation grants for itself and its partners.

Smart Growth- DHCD worked with other State agencies in promoting Smart Growth throughout

Maryland.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the

Analyses showed both a need and a demand for fair housing education to promote fair housing choice.

DHCD continues to be proactive in its efforts to provide fair housing education and training to non-

entitlement areas of the state. During the past year, the program-accomplished the following:

1. State-Wide Fair Housing Outreach Events – The Maryland Department of Housing and Community

Development (DHCD) continued sponsorship and outreach events throughout the State of

Maryland. Events sought solutions for understanding housing rights and responsibilities, discrimination,

CAPER 32


reasonable accommodations, expanded communities and landlord tenant issues.

2. Fair Housing Educational Material Distribution – DHCD participated in outreach events that were

throughout the State of Maryland. These events had attendee's that represented renters, landlords,

home owners and real-estate professionals.

3. Promotion of April as National Fair Housing Month – The month was recognized with participation at

several fair Housing outreach Events throughout the State.

4. DHCD Partnership and Training Efforts - DHCD formed partnerships with Fair Housing Action Center

(FHAC) and the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR) that provided guidance and training to

professionals throughout the State of Maryland focusing on affirmatively promoting fair housing.

Annually, through its contractor DHCD is conducting fair housing testing sessions to measure the quality,

quantity and content of information and customer services given to potential renters/home buyers by a

housing provider based on protected classes under fair housing law.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230

Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance

of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs

involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning

requirements

CDBG

CDBG grantees receive technical assistance and training on grant management and on compliance with

CDBG and other federal regulations. CDBG staff make site visits and have regular on-going communication

with grantees. Grantees submit two reports a year regarding progress on meeting performance and

outcome requirements, as well as accomplishments and beneficiaries. This information is reported in

HUD’s IDIS system.

CDBG Project Managers conducted 19 monitoring reviews during Program Year 2019 MD DHCD uses the

team approach to monitor regulatory compliance, accomplishments, performance measurement

outcomes and national objectives of the various grant components. CDBG Project Managers provide

technical assistance to grantees as needed during the administration of the grant. Each project is

monitored, at a minimum for eligibility, national objective and financial management. In most cases, the

monitoring includes a review of all applicable areas specific to the project. The Monitoring Handbook

contains checklists for evidence of documentation to indicate that grantee practices are consistent with

CDBG policies and regulation. There are checklists for:

Environmental review

Project Management and Record keeping

Financial Management

Procurement and Bonding

Acquisition

Relocation

Fair Housing/Equal Opportunity

Labor Standards

Housing Rehabilitation

Public Facilities / Infrastructure

Economic Development

Subrecipient Monitoring

Audit Compliance

The grant monitoring also includes a review of the evidence of documentation that the designated

performance measures and outcomes have been met.

CAPER 34


The grantee is sent a written report of the monitoring results. If there are findings or matters of concern,

the report includes corrective actions that the grantee must achieve for compliance. When all findings

and matters of concern are resolved, the monitoring phase of the grant is completed and project moves

to closeout.

HOPWA

Compliance and Monitoring

The State of Maryland Dept of Health's (MDH) HOPWA program ensures programmatic and fiscal

compliance by requiring each of its sub-vendors to submit performance and expenditure reports to the

Program Officer, following the close of each quarter. Reimbursement of services rendered is not approved

until all such reports are received, reviewed, and checked for compliance and performance issues.

When compliance issues are discovered the Program Officer reaches out to the vendor/site with

corrective action plans and follow-up. In addition to the monitoring of the quarterly reports, the Program

Officer visits each site no less than once a year for an in-person "Administrative Site Visit". At this time,

the program officer provides technical assistance and program guidance on larger issues, such as changes

in policies or procedures. In addition to this technical assistance, the Program Officer is in regular contact

by phone (quarterly conference calls with each program). More frequent communications occur by phone

and email.

More broadly, the monitoring Program Officer provides each site with an Operations Manual, a Tenant

Handbook (updated in 2018-2019), and regular suggestions and guidance for pertinent training by HUD

and other housing supports providers, such as Corporation for Supportive Housing webinars, etc.

Program Requirements and Planning

MDH understands and deploys all related federal compliance requirements that support fair housing,

minority business outreach (where applicable - the HOPWA program is a direct services program and not

the development of "bricks and mortar"), and comprehensive planning requirements that bring all

partners of interest to the table for feedback in that plans development and implementation.

MDH HOPWA supports DHCD's Annual Comprehensive Planning activities by ensuring participation and

feedback by HIV positive persons throughout the State of Maryland through multiple mechanisms. These

include participation in and invitations to: State of Maryland Quarterly HIV Planning Group (HPG) meetings

(consumers and providers), The Continuum of Care Committee, Housing Sub-Committee (Greater

Baltimore HIV Health Services Planning Council for Ryan White Part A Services), State of Maryland

Department of Health's HIV Care Services' annual Consumer Satisfaction Survey (CSS), live and quarterly

data not only through HOPWA reporting but also State of Maryland Ryan White Part B Services reported

by providers, statewide, through the CAREWare client services database system. All of the

CAPER 35


aforementioned data is coupled with, not only housing needs data, but also epidemiological data on HIV

and homelessness to create needs planning each year and to direct funding to particular types of HOPWA

services to meet vulnerable client needs.

HTF

The Housing Trust Fund in accordence with regulatory standards will do the following: each applicant for

residency of a Restricted Unit shall certify on a form provided by CDA (the " Tenant Income Certification")

that his or her application for occupancy is for the purpose of obtaining housing in the Project and that

the Annual Income of the Household is within the income limits established. In a manner prescribed or

approved by CDA, the Borrower shall have obtained written evidence substantiating the information given

on the Tenant Income Certification and shall retain this evidence in its files for a period of five years from

the date of initial occupancy by such Household. Borrer may not approve any Household to occupy any

unit in the Project or any portion of it, without receiving the Household's application for occupancy and a

Tenant Income Certification, copies of which shall be provided by the Borrower to CDA upon request.

Annually and when requested by CDA at any time, the Borrower shall obtain and verify re-certification of

income and other criteria of eligibility from the residents of the Restricted Units.

Continuing Occupancy in a Restricted Unit: At least once annually, the Borrower shall re-examine each

tenant's annual income by obtaining from the tenant a written statement of the amount of the tenant's

annual income and family size, along with a certification that the information is complete and accurate.

Back-up documentation is not required with annual re-certifications provided that the recertification

states that the tenant will provide source documents upon request. Every sixth year of a tenant's

occupancy, the Borrower shall obtain Tenant's Income Certification with all back-up documentation.

ESG Monitoring for ESG programs is typically conducted in the Spring of each year. Due to the COVID19

pandemic, DHCD monitoring and CoC monitoring of subgrantees was temporarily suspended. All 2019

ESG/SFY2020 subrecipients will be monitored in calendar year 2021. Monitoring will include desk and/or

on-site review of financial and programmatic policies and procedures, as well as a review of one randomly

selected subgrantee. CoCs will also be required to provide monitoring reports of their other subgrantees,

and those reports will be reviewed by Maryland DHCD staff

Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)

Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to

comment on performance reports.

DHCD carried out its citizen participation process through a combination of different efforts. This included holding numerous public hearings on the Planmass mailings on the Plan to potentially interested parties, email notifications regarding the plan, among other avenues.

The local Continuums of Care manage the reporting for shelter utilization rates in their individual

HMIS. SAGE CAPER reports do not provide bednight data or utilization at a statewide level.

As part of the transition to our Homelessness Solutions Program (HSP), the Department developed a

comprehensive set of standards for both data quality and performance measures. The standards were

designed off of the HUD system performance measures. CoCs were consulted in the process of creating

the new standards and they were distributed to all 16 of Maryland’s CoCs, including the 11 CoCs

receiving ESG funding. The measures are included as an attachment to the CAPER in the appendix.
