2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan identifies the housing and community development needs for Oakland County
and establishes goals to be accomplished through the use of three U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) entitlement programs. Administered by the Community and Home Improvement Division,
these funding opportunities include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the Home Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME), and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). The purpose of this Annual Action Plan
is to describe how the County will continue to work within and refine this strategy in 2004, the final year of its five-
year Consolidated Plan. This Plan covers the period program year (PY) period of 5/1/04-4/30/05. The
Consolidated Plan identifies the County's commitment to: "Assist participating communities and low- and
moderate-income persons and households through infrastructure improvements, housing rehabilitation, and human
services." The Community and Home Improvement mission is met in part by an award of $6.3 million from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development entitlement prograrns detailed below.
Supply decent housing, secure a suitable living environment, and
expand economic opportunities for individuals earning 80% or less of
median family income (MFI).
Expand the availability if decent, affordable housing for individuals
earnina 80% or less of median family income (MFI).
Provide essential supportive services, homeless prevention activities
and support for area shelters with operating and rehabilitation funds.
During 2004, the 30th anniversary of the Housing and Community Development Act, Oakland County anticipates
receiving approximately $6.3 million in HUD funds and an estimated $2.1 million in Revolving Loan Fund for a total
of approximately $8 million. This Plan presents the County's strategy for granting funds to activities that support
Consolidated Plan goals.

COUNTY OF OAKLAND, MICHIGAN
2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
Community Profile
Oakland County, home to a mix of urban and rural communities is located in southeastern Michigan. The County
borders Macomb County to the east, Lapeer and Genesee Counties to the north, Livingston County to the west,
and Wayne County and the City of Detroit to the south. At 960 square miles and with a 2000 population of over 1.1
million, Oakland County is more populous than, and nearly as large as, the State of Rhode Island. The County
contains sixty-one units of general local government, including twenty-one townships, ten villages, and thirty cities.
Oakland County ranks as the third wealthiest county in the nation among counties with populations of more than
one million people. Despite this rank, 62% (31) of the participating communities fell below the County's 2000 overall
per capita income level of $32,534. The median family income (MFI) in Oakland County overall is $75,540 based
on 1999 income data. Twenty-four or 48% of participating communities have an MFI that fell below this amount.
Citizen Participation
In accordance with 24 CFR Part 91.105 et seq, Oakland County has implemented a detailed Citizen Participation
Plan. The Plan applies to the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs as well as to the development and
implementation of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Oakland County encourages residents to
participate in the development and any amendments to the Plans, as well as the performance report. The County
maximizes citizen participation through its Citizen Advisory Council, holds meetings at convenient times and
locations, and provides information with reasonable and timely access. Public input into the 2004 Annual Action
Plan includes a public hearing on February 11, 2004. The Community and Home Improvement Division publishes a
draft of the Annual Action Plan to receive citizen comments. Information received during comment periods is
included in the final Plan.
Access to Information
In addition to the narrative summaries in the 2004 Annual Action Plan more detailed information about specific
federally funded projects is available upon request. The Plan is available for public review from February 12, 2004 -
March 12, 2004. The written comment period is March 12, 2004 - March 29, 2004. For more information, to view,
or to comment on the Plan, please contact the Oakland County Community and Home Improvement Division; 1200
N Telegraph, Building 38 E; Pontiac, MI 48341; (248) 858-5312, 1-800-858-0900 x 85312. The Annual Plan is also
available on the web at www.co.oakland.mi.usichi
2000-2004 CONSOLIDATED PLAN AMENDMENT
Oakland County identified actions in the 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan that must be taken to ensure that all
residents of Oakland County have access to decent housing, suitable living environments and expanded economic
opportunities. The objectives to preserve homeownership, increase homeownership, support special needs housing
and identify housing needs help meet the goal of decent housing.
The Oakland County Housing Counseting Unit and the Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO)
that operate throughout the participating communities have identified the lack of down payment assistance as a
barrier to homeownership. The 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan addressed barriers to affordable housing but did not
identify the need for a county administered down payment assistance program. The 2004 Annual Action Plan
addresses the need for down payment assistance as a strategy under the increase homeownership goal. The
2000-2004 Consolidated Plan has been amended to reflect the need for downpayment assistance and the 2004
Annual Action Plan HOME Program Narrative provides details on a strategy to be funded through the American
Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADD l).

COUNTY OF OAKLAND, MICHIGAN
2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
Primary Objective
The primary objective of Oakland County's Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is the
development of viable urban communities by providing principally for low and moderate-income persons:
• Decent Housing
• Suitable Living Environments
• Expanded Economic Opportunities
Oakland County gives maximum feasible priority to housing and community development projects funded through
CDBG, which are consistent with one or more of the programs national objectives:
1. ensure benefit to low and moderate income persons (70% or more of Oakland County's aggregate CDBG funds
shall be used to support activities that benefit low and moderate income persons)
2. aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blighting conditions
3. meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a
serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not
available to meet such needs
The County philosophy is that local communities know local needs best, therefore two-thirds of all CDBG funds,
less administration are distributed to participating communities by formula. The communities then determine how
to allocate resources within the program's overall objectives, regulations, and laws. The Oakland County Board of
Commissioners approved a revised CDBG distribution formula in 2003. The formula still follows the federal "option
one" method of CDBG distribution to grantees as found in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,
as amended [42 USC 5306(b)(2)]. The county formula is expressed as: (P+3L/M)/4
P= ratio of a participating community's population to the population in all 50 participating communities
L= ratio of the community's low- and moderate-income population to that of all 50 communities
The low- and moderate-income ratio is factored three times and then multiplied by the total amount of CDBG funds
available to communities in a given year. All communities falling below $8,000.00 receive $8,000.00 as a minimum
amount. The formula is applied for the remaining communities with the "minimum allocation" communities and their
allocations removed. The product is the community allocations for that given program year.

COUNTY OF OAKLAND, MICHIGAN
2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
Primary Objective
The County of Oakland will administer the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) in accordance with
Title ll of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-625). The primary objective of
the HOME Program is to expand the supply of aecent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for low-income
persons through strengthened public-private partnerships.
Estimated Use of HOME Funds and Matching Contributions
The Consolidated Plan indicates that Oakland County's housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family owner-
occupied. The goal of the HOME Program is to "expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable
housing" for low-income persons (s.92.1). Oakland County meets the goal through the rehabilitation of single-
family homes owned and occupied by low-income persons. The county's Consolidated Plan puts great emphasis
on housing rehabilitation as a proven method for improving the quality of housing stock in which low-income
persons reside. The following paragraphs detail the county's plan for the use of 2004 HOME funds.
Reservation of HOME Funds for County Operated Programs
Moderate Rehabilitation: Oakland County plans to undertake moderate rehabilitation of single-family owner-
occupied housing for low-income families. Specifically, the program is used to rehabilitate the principal residence
of an owner whose family qualifies as very low income (i.e. income not exceeding 50% of area median income) at
the time HOME funds are committed to the housing (s.92.254(b)). Participants will reside in one of the 50
communities participating in the Oakland County HOME Program. (See attached participating communities) The
value of the property, after rehabilitation, will not exceed the area's mortgage limit for single-family housing under
HUD's single-family insuring authority, the National Affordable Housing Act (s.92.254(b)). For Oakland County, the
value of housing, after HOME-funded repairs, may not exceed $226,100 (56FR36985). These figures may vary as
HUD publishes new limits in the Federal Register.
Housing that is assisted with HOME funds will minimally, meet HUD's Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HOS).
Examples of rehabilitation work that can be financed through this program may include, but are not limited to the
following: plumbing, wells, septic systems, structural repairs, electrical work, heating, roof replacement, masonry
work, energy items, lead remediation, and barrier-free access.
The total property-related indebtedness after improvement may not exceed the property value. This value is
determined by a market analysis or by the Mortgage Application Acceleration Program (MAAP) through the
Oakland County Equalization Division. Total indebtedness is determined as a sum of the existing property debt and
the amount of the deferred home improvement loan.
Income eligibility will be determined for each household based on gross household income and family size in
accordance with HUD Section 8 Lower Income Limits. Eligible homeowners will receive a zero percent-deferred
loan. Loans will be limited to $18,000 plus a $2,000 contingency for a total possible loan amount of $20,000. On a
case by case basis, the loan amount may increase due to the amount of lead remediation needed. (Maximum loan
amounts are subject to periodic updates.)
As mandated by Congress, all housing rehabilitation projects funded with FY 2004 HOME funds will be subject to
matching funds requirements. In accordance with federal guideline (s.92.218), Oakland County will ensure that
rehabilitation projects receive one-dollar of matching funds per every four dollars of HOME funds.
County Program Administration: Ten percent of the County's 2004 HOME grant allocation will be reserved for
administrative and planning costs in accordance with s.92.207.

2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
Reservation of HOME Funds for Community Housing Development Organizations
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHD0s) receive the required fifteen percent of HOME funds, per
regulations at s92.300. Oakland County will continue to provide technical assistance to the three certified Oakland
County CHDOs under contract with Oakland County to ensure continued successes with HOME funding. In
keeping with Consolidated Plan goals, CHDOs may receive funds to implement Home Buyer Assistance through
acquisition with rehabilitation and for new construction.
Home Buyer Assistance: A CHDO may use HOME funds to acquire and rehabilitate existing single family homes
and/or acquire vacant property and construct new or emplace modular homes for sale to qualified low income
homebuyers. HUD has established a maximum HOME funded investment level based on the number of bedrooms
per unit.
MAXIMUM PER-UNIT SUBSIDY (217103)
0-Bedroom 1-Bedroom 2-Bedroom 3-Bedroom 4-Bedroom
• • • • • • • • '483,576 $179,555
The appraised value of the property after rehabilitation may not exceed the limits established by HUD ($226,100 for
a single-family unit). The sale price of the home may not exceed the appraised value limit.
Resale Provisions: Housing that is for purchase and qualifies as affordable housing is subject to resale and/or
recapture provisions [24CFR 92.254(a)(4)]. This provision is for a minimum period of 5 years when the per unit
amount of HOME funds is less than $15,000. A period of 10 years applies when the per unit amount of HOME
funds is $15,000 to $40,000. When the per unit amount of HOME funds is greater than £40,000 a 15 year rule
applies. Under the county's recapture provisions, the HOME investment that is subject to recapture is the HOME
assistance that enables the homebuyer to buy the dwelling unit. This assistance will be a homebuyer subsidy
($1,000.00 minimum) that makes the home affordable to a low-income homebuyer.
The home buyer assistance will be a deferred payment loan with 0% interest, payable upon the conversion of the
property use and /or ownership and will be secured by an Oakland County Community and Home Improvement
mortgage and note. The recaptured funds must be used to carry out HOME-eligible activities.
At the time of purchase, housing that is newly constructed or rehabilitated using HOME funds must meet certain
property standards including Housing Quality Standards, local code standards, and rehabilitation standards.
As mandated by Congress, all housing rehabilitation and/or new construction projects funded with FY 2004 HOME
funds will be subject to matching funds requirements. Oakland County will ensure that rehabilitation projects
receive one-dollar of matching funds per every four dollars of HOME monies expended, in accordance with federal
guideline (s.92.218).
Before disbursement of any HOME funds, the CHDO must execute a contract. This grant agreement will identify
the grant amount, grant terms and the programmatic responsibilities of the CHDO.
The county and CHDO will follow a monitoring plan for the HOME program. The plan includes technical assistance
to CHDOs, program audits, required single audits, monitoring audits, spending performance reviews, on-site
property inspections, project reviews for compliance with program requirements and necessary documentation. As
necessary, CHDOs will receive letters of deficiencies to ensure corrective actions.

2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
HOME TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
Tenant based rental assistance is a need in Oakland County, however, single family housing rehabilitation is the
priority need in fulfilling Oakland County's HOME Program goal of "expanding the supply of decent, safe, sanitary,
and affordable housing" for low-income persons. Due to limited HOME funding and the County's need to maximize
returns on investments in providing additional affordable housing, tenant based rental assistance is not funded as a
primary housing need for the County.
OTHER FORMS OF INVESTMENT
As indicated in 24 CFR 92.205(b) Oakland County will not invest HOME funds in a loan guarantee account.
AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING
In accordance with 24 CFR 92.351(a), Oakland County will carry out the following affirmative marketing procedures
for all HOME assisted homebuyer projects of five or more units. Affirmative marketing will consist of actions to
provide information to attract eligible persons in the housing market area to the available housing without regard to
race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status or disability.
• An advertising campaign will be developed within the market area to provide information concerning the
Federal fair housing laws and the County's Affirmative Marketing Plan. All promotional materials will include the
use of the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype or slogan in press releases and solicitations.
• Each Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) under contract with Oakland County must certify
that they will affirmatively market projects of five or more housing units in accordance with the County's
Affirmative Marketing Plan. In addition, each CHDO must provide written procedures indicating their plan to
inform and solicit applications from persons in the housing market area who are not likely to apply for the
housing without special outreach.
• The County will maintain records to document each CHDOs affirmative marketing efforts for HOME projects
and assess the results of each.
• Annually, Oakland County will meet with each certified Oakland County CHDO to assess the success of their
affirmative marketing actions and discuss corrective actions that will be taken where affirmative marketing
requirements were not met.
WOMEN AND MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (W/MBE) OUTREACH
Oakland County's strategy to achieve W/MBE participation in the HOME Program focuses on enhancing and
overseeing the existing W/MBE outreach program designed for the single family owner-occupied housing
rehabilitation program administered by Oakland County. The county will maintain a list of licensed and insured
contractors/residential builders for both the CDBG and HOME financed home improvement programs. Contractors
on the contractor list may bid on home improvement jobs on an alternating basis. The county will make every effort
to ensure that at least one W/MBE receives an invitation to bid every home improvement job under the HOME and
CDBG funded home improvement programs.
To expand W/MBE opportunities, the county will contact the Michigan Department of Commerce and area
contractor associations for updated W/MBE resource directories. Women and minority businesses will receive
letters of introduction and invitation to the contractor's list. Also, the county will track and attend contractor seminars
throughout southeast Michigan in order to promote the Home Improvement Program to potential W/MBE
contractors. The Division will advertise contractor participation through their Annual Report and Community Builder
quarterly newsletters.
REFINANCING
Oakland County does not intend to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing rehabilitated with HOME
funds.

2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANT (ESG) PROGRAM
Primary Objective
The primary objective of Oakland County's Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESG) is to expand and improve the
quality of existing emergency shelters. Local non-profit organizations will receive funding to support certain
operating expenses such as maintenance, insurance, utilities, and furnishings as well as essential social service
expenses and organizational support (shelter administration) costs as provided by ESG regulations.
Statement of Need
Assessment of the six shelters that participated in the 2003 Oakland County Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
program reveals 1,858 men, women, and children used these facilities from June 2002 - May 2003. Homelessness
continues to be a countywide problem.
Inventory of Facilities and Assistance Serving the Homeless
The six shelters that received 2003 ESG program funds are the South Oakland Shelter (SOS), Place of Hope
Warming Center, HAVEN (Help Against Violent Encounters Now), New Bethel Outreach Ministry, Lighthouse
PATH, and the Common Ground Sanctuary (A Step Forward). Each participating shelter provides services for
residents from all parts of Oakland County. Place of Hope, HAVEN, and New Bethel Outreach Ministry are all
located in the City of Pontiac. Lighthouse PATH is located in Pontiac and provides added services in the City of
Oak Park. The Common Ground Sanctuary is located in the City of Royal Oak. All of the shelters except the South
Oakland Shelter are permanently sited. SOS rotates its site each week throughout many of the County's CDBG
participating jurisdictions.
The South Oakland Shelter (SOS) is a consortium of approximately 50 sites designed to provide a weekly "rotating"
emergency shelter program. The SOS network primarily consists of churches and synagogues, each with the
capacity to house and provide services to approximately 30 homeless individuals at any one time. SOS provides
overnight lodging; morning and evening meals; box lunches for those seeking employment; professional
counseling; personal care packages; laundry service; transportation; and referrals for clothing, housing,
employment, social service and social security assistance; medical concerns; veteran matters and substance
abuse issues.
HAVEN (Help Against Violent Encounters Now) is a private, nonprofit agency that serves all of Oakland County as
an emergency shelter for women and children left homeless due to physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse.
HAVEN's shelter in Pontiac has a capacity of 46 beds, but often exceeds this number. This facility provides food,
shelter, clothing, and supportive counseling services.
New Bethel Outreach Ministry, operated by the New Bethel Baptist Outreach Ministry is a faith-based organization
located in Pontiac. It has 24 beds for women and children and offers case management.
Lighthouse PATH, (a division of Lighthouse of Oakland County) is a Pontiac-based • nonprofit agency providing
transitional housing and shelter for women and their young children. PATH operates 18 private apartments and six
adjacent residences in Pontiac within a two-block radius. Supportive services include shelter, counseling, training,
mentoring, and daycare. Another 10 family units are located in Oak Park with the same supports. PATH has a
shelter capacity of 84 beds.
The Common Ground Sanctuary's "A Step Forward" is .a transitional living program for homeless or at-risk youth
ages 16-20. The program promotes self-sufficiency through residential and non-residential services. They provide
a 24-hour crisis line, information and referrals; skills building training; meals; individual, family, group, and aftercare
counseling; peer counseling; mentoring; substance abuse education and assessment; family preservation; and
support groups for youth, parents, and fam:lies, The CGS, ASF program has 7 beds with an additional 6 for the
graduated program.

Place of Hope is a warming center located in Pontiac. It has the capacity for 65 individuals. Place of Hope offers a
warm meal and a place to sleep and operates from January through the end of March.
These shelters are responding to the immediate needs of Oakland County's homeless population. Emergency
Shelter Grant funds will enable these providers to target services to the homeless to foster the development of
economic autonomy, self-sufficiency, and functional family units. The County views the Emergency Shelter
Program as an essential component of its plan to assist the homeless. The homeless do not fit into a traditional
social service system. Many lack jobs, the basic means to take care of themselves and social support networks.
The homeless may face substance abuse; physical, emotional and/or mental health concerns; and vocational
needs.
HAVEN, New Bethel Outreach Ministry, Place of Hope, and SOS have taken the first step in attempting to address
a very complex issue by simply offering a safe place to sleep, a warm meal, and a listening ear. Lighthouse PATH
and Common Ground Sanctuary offer housing and independent living options.
Oakland County plans to allocate ESG monies based upon the program's goal to expand and improve the quality of
existing emergency shelters. Local non-profit organizations will receive funding to support certain operating
expenses such as maintenance, insurance, utilities, and furnishings as well as essential social service expenses
and organizational support (shelter administration) costs as provided by ESG regulations. Funds will be allocated
on a competitive basis, based on a formula allocation. The following elements will be considered: the ratio of beds
utilized at 100% capacity (utilization), the ratio of clients whose last know address was a community that
participates in the Oakland County CDBG program weighted twice (residency), and the number of available beds
(capacity).
The County will ensure that a reasonable division of the funds can be reached. The budget is based on the
premise that Oakland County will not take its five percent allowance for administration, and that each of the
participating shelters will take the maximum allowable for essential services (30 percent) and organizational support
(shelter administration 10 percent). Donations of time, material, and labor satisfy match requirements.

Dear Ms. Rieth:
SU3JECT: ESG and HMIS Certifications
Thank you for the memo dated November 18, 2003, regarding
Oakland County's response td the ESG and HMIS Certiflcation.s
recuired by HUD. I have read through each action Oakland County
will take as they pertain to the compliance issues listed in the
ESG Certifications. Each action outlined by Oakland County is
acceptable. I will place a copy of the memo along with this
response in the Oakland County .file.
I understand your concern about signing a certification in
regard to institutional discharge policies. However, the ESG and
HMIS Certifications as well as the Discharge Policy forms are
not slibject to change. Each form must be signed to insure
release of funds. HUD's reasoning for including the discharge
policy in the certifications was to bring awareness, to all
parties involved in homeless provision, of the need for solid
discharge policies. While HUD understands that Oakland County
itself cannot enforce discharge policies of other institutions,
Oakland County can require that these policies be developed
and/or followed as part of contractual obligation. The idea is
to get the word out that having these policies in place is not
only good practice but should be a requirement for operation.
Regarding the HMIS issue, Oakland County's assertion that
it will ensure each ESG funded sub-recipient institutes an HMIS
system is completely acceptable. Oakland County is under no
obligation to do anything more than that.
Please contact your Community Planning and Development
Ptepl-esentative, Ms. Shannon Hefter, if you need any further
clarification. She can be reached at (313) 226-4343, extension
8148.

Dear Mr. Patterson:
SUBJECT: Oakland County
2004 Consolidated Plan Approval
B-04-UC-26-0002
M-04-UC260210
S-04-UC-26-0002
We are pleased to approve your Fiscal Year 2004 Consolidated Plan. The grant
assistance that is approved with the Plan is as follows:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program $4,599,000
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program S1,458,045
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program $143,282
The total allocation for your community is $6,200,327. Your 2004 program year begins
on May 1, 2004.
We would like to take this opportunity to commend the City on your successful
completion of this year's Consolidated Plan. We believe that the goals and objectives developed
through this process provide the foundation for the formulation of new partnerships at all levels
of government and with the private sector including for-profit and non-profit organizations.
These partnerships are invaluable as you and your partners address the problems of affordable
housing, homelessness, and economic opportunities for all citizens, particularly for very low-
income and low-income persons.
Enclosed are three copies of each of the required Grant Agreements and Funding
Approvals. This constitutes the contract between our Department and the County. The grant
agreement for the American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) will be transmitted at a
later date. You should note any special conditions listed in the Funding Approvals. Please return
two executed copies for each Grant to the Detroit Office of Community Planning and
development, and retain the other for your records. In addition to the Grant Agreements, we
have also enclosed a copy of "Consolidated Plan Advice and Guidance" applicable to the various
Programs.

yfi/chigan State Office
It is also brought to your attention that ESG funds may be used to Rind a Continuum of
Care's Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). ESG funds may be used to
implement and operate a Continuum of Care's HMIS system among homeless services providers
and ESG-funded homeless prevention programs. HMIS costs may be considered an eligible
activity as an essential service, operation, or administration expense. ESG funds may not be
used for planning costs.
Finally, HUD is currently in the process of developing standards for participation in local
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and the collection and reporting of client-
level information by homeless providers. Recipients of ESG funds will be expected to
participate in a local Continuum of Care's HMIS in order to ensure that the Congressional goal
that localities collect an array of unduplicated data on the number and characteristics of homeless
persons can be met.
Again, we congratulate you and your staff on the preparation of this year's Consolidated
Plan. We look forward to working with you during the year to accomplish the goals the City has
set forth and to further refine and improve the Consolidated Plan development process. In the
meantime, if you have any questions or desire assistance concerning this letter or other items
related to the community development programs, please contact Ms. Shannon Hefter, your
Community Planning and Development Representative, at (313) 226-4343, extension 8148.

SPECIAL CONTRACT CONDITIONS - FISCAL YEAR 2004
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, no funds provided under this agreement
may be obligated or expended for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities until
receipt of written notification from HUD of the release of funds on completion of the review
procedures required under Executive Order (E.0.) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal
Programs, and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 52. The recipient shall also
complete the review procedures required under E.O. 12372 and 24 CFR Part 52 and receive
written notification from HUD of the release of funds before obligating or expending any funds
provided under this agreement for any new or revised activity for the planning or construction of
water or sewer facilities not previously reviewed under E.O. 12372 and implementing
regulations.
2004 ANNUAL PLAN ADVICE AND GUIDANCE
Reporting Requirements for Fiscal Year 2003 Grants
The Consolidated Annual performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPER) which includes CDBG,
ESG, and HOME, for the 2003 Program Year are to be submitted to this Office no later than July
29, 2004 (90 days after your Program Year ends).
Environmental Review Procedures
Certain activities included in the Consolidated Annual Plan are subject to the provisions of 24
CFR Part 58 (Environmental Review Procedures for the CDBG Program). Funds for all non-
exempt activities must not be obligated or expended unless the release of funds has been
approved in writing by HUD. A request for the release of funds must be accompanied by an
environmental certification. Appropriate forms are enclosed.
Emergency Shelter Grant Guidance
There are two critical deadlines set forth in the ESG program regulations. Title 24 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 576.55(b), requires that all ESG grant amounts be
obligated by 180 days and expended by 24 months after the date of the grant award letter. Any
grant amounts that are not obligated and expended by these dates may be recovered ad
reallocated for use in accordance with 576.67 of the regulations. These deadlines represent
maximum time periods. HUD is sure that each grantee will make every effort to obligate and
expend all funds within these periods.
ESG funds may be used to fund a Continuum of Care's Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS). ESG funds may be used to implement and operate a Continuum of Care's
H.MIS system among homeless services providers and ESG-funded homeless prevention
programs. HMIS costs may be considered an eligible activity as an essential service, operation,
or administrative expense. ESG funds may not be used for planning costs.
HUD is currently in the process of developing standards for participation in local Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS) and the collection and reporting of client -level
information by homeless providers. Recipients of ESG funds will be expected to participate in a
local Continuum of Care's HMIS in order to insure that the Congressional goal that localities
collect an array of unduplicated data on the number and characteristics of homeless persons can
be met.

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number.
The HOME statute imposes a significant number of data collection and reporting requirements. This includes information on assisted properties, on the
owners or tenants of the properties, and on other programmatic areas. The information will be used: 1) to assist HOME participants in managing their
programs; 2) to track performance of participants in meeting fund commitment and expenditure deadlines; 3) to permit HUD to determine whether each
participant meets the HOME statutory income targeting and affordability requirements; and 4) to permit HUD to determine compliance with other statutory
and regulatory program requirements. This data collection is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act or
related authorities. Access to Federal grant funds is contingent on the reporting of certain project-specific data elements. Records of information
collected will be maintained by the recipients of the assistance. Information on activities and expenditures of grant funds is public information and is
generally available for disclosure. Recipients are responsible for ensuring confidentiality when public disclosure is not required.
This Agreement between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Participating Jurisdiction/Entity is made
pursuant to the authority of the Home Investment Partnerships Act (42 U.S.C. 12701 et seq.). The Participating Jurisdiction's /Entity's
approved Consolidated Plan submission/Application and the HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 92 (as now in effect and as may be
amended from time to time) and this HOME Investment Partnership Agreement, form HUD-40093, including any special conditions,
constitute part of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, HUD will make the funds for the Fiscal Year specified,
available to the Participating Jurisdiction/Entity upon execution of this Agreement by the parties. All funds for the specified Fiscal Year
provided by HUD by formula reallocation are covered by this Agreement upon execution of an amendment by HUD, without the
Participating Jurisdiction's execution of the amendment or other consent. HUD's payment of funds under this Agreement is subject to
the Participating Jurisdiction's/Entity's compliance with HUD's electronic funds transfer and information reporting procedures issued
pursuant to 24 CFR 92.502. To the extent authorized by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 92, HUD may, by its execution of an
amendment, de-obligate funds previously awarded to the Participating Jurisdiction/Entity without the Participating Jurisdiction's/Entity's
execution of the amendment or other consent. The Participating Jurisdiction/Entity agrees that funds invested in affordable housing
under 24 CFR Part 92 are repayable when the housing no longer qualifies as affordable housing. Repayment shall be made as
specified in 24 CFR Part 92. The Participating Jurisdiction agrees to assume all of the responsibility for environmental review, decision
making. and actions, as specified and required in regulation at 24 CFR 92.352 and 24 CFR Part 58.

IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - COMMUNITY AND HOME
IMPROVEMENT DIVISION - 2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND CONSOLIDATED GRANT ACCEPTANCE FOR
CDSG, HOME AND ESG PROGRAMS AND 2003-2004 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the
above referenced resolution and finds:
1. The resolution authorizes acceptance of grant funding from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development for the consolidated Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME),
and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) in the amount of $6,200,327.
2. The award includes $4,599,000 for the Community Development Block Grant,
$1,458,045 for the HOME Investment Partnership Grant, and $143,282 for the
Emergency Shelter Grant.
3. The award also includes $1,600,000 in estimated Home Improvement Revolving
Loan Funds, $106,119 in Community Program Income, $500,000 in estimated
HOME Revolving Loan Funds, and requires a HOME County match of $328,061
for a consolidated 2004 program year grant total of $8,734,507.
4. The grant award is $192,817 less than the application due to delay in the
release of American Dream Down Payment Initiative (ADDI) funding under the
HOME Program. This delay also reduces required Local County Match by
$22,112.
5. Local County match of $328,061 (25%) is required for grant funding
allocated to housing rehabilitation and/or new construction activities for
the HOME Investment Partnership Grant. The 25% match percentage
requirement is the same as the match requirement in the 2003 HOME
Investment Partnership Grant.
6. County Match is available in the Non-Departmental Grant Match line item of
the FY 2004 General Fund Budget, account #90-290000-25000-2872. No
additional appropriation is required.
7. Indirect costs associated with this grant
administrative and planning limits.
8. The funding period is for the program year May 1, 2004 through April 30,
2005.
9. The resolution also amends the 2003 Annual Action Plan and Consolidated
Grant Acceptance to reflect actual funding generated by the Home
Improvement Revolving Loan Fund, the Home Investment Partnership Act
Revolving Loan Fund, and CDBG Community Program Income, in the program
year period of May 1, 2003 through April 30, 2004.
10. A budget amendment is recommended as follows:
