T HE NSP S UBSTANTIAL A MENDMENT Jurisdiction(s): City of Arlington NSP Contact Person: David Zappasodi (identify lead entity in case of joint Address: 501 W. Sanford St., Suite 20 agreements) Arlington, TX 76011 Telephone: 817-276-6790 Jurisdiction Web Address: Fax: 682-367-1020 www.arlingtontx.gov Email: David.Zappasodi@arlingtontx.gov (URL where NSP Substantial Amendment materials are posted) A. A REAS OF G REATEST N EED Provide summary needs data identifying the geographic areas of greatest need in the grantees jurisdiction. Note: An NSP substantial amendment must include the needs of the entire jurisdiction(s) covered by the program; states must include the needs of communities receiving their own NSP allocation. To include the needs of an entitlement community, the State may either incorporate an entitlement jurisdictions consolidated plan and NSP needs by reference and hyperlink on the Internet, or state the needs for that jurisdiction in the States own plan. The lead entity for a joint program may likewise incorporate the consolidated plan and needs of other participating entitlement jurisdictions consolidated plans by reference and hyperlink or state the needs for each jurisdiction in the lead entitys own plan. HUD has developed a foreclosure and abandonment risk score to assist grantees in targeting the areas of greatest need within their jurisdictions. Grantees may wish to consult this data [LINK to HUD USER data], in developing this section of the Substantial Amendment. Response: Attachment A identifies the areas of greatest need within the city of Arlington. Data used to identify these areas consisted of an analysis of the following: 1) Actual foreclosures for the prior six month period; 2) Vacant foreclosures based on utility shut off records; 3) Census block groups with high foreclosure abandonment risk based on decline in home values, high cost loans issued from 2004-2006, unemployment rate, and vacant residential addresses as of June 2008; and 4) Census block groups with 51 percent or more of the residents earning less than 120 percent of Area Median Income. In general, the areas of greatest need include East Central Arlington and Southeast Arlington. Additional targeting at the neighborhood level will occur as additional detailed foreclosure data is analyzed. 5
B. D ISTRIBUTION AND U SES OF F UNDS Provide a narrative describing how the distribution and uses of the grantees NSP funds will meet the requirements of Section 2301(c)(2) of HERA that funds be distributed to the areas of greatest need, including those with the greatest percentage of home foreclosures, with the highest percentage of homes financed by a sub prime mortgage related loan, and identified by the grantee as likely to face a significant rise in the rate of home foreclosures. Note : The grantees narrative must address these three stipulated need categories in the NSP statute, but the grantee may also consider other need categories. Response: The City of Arlington will distribute NSP funds to the areas of greatest need as illustrated on the map in Attachment A and the budget in Attachment C. Data used to develop this map consisted of components identified within the three need categories in the NSP guidelines: Areas within Arlington that have the greatest percentage of home foreclosures, the highest percentage of homes financed by a sub-prime mortgage related loan, and areas within Arlington that are likely to face an increase in home foreclosures. Activities performed under NSP will be targeted to meet the identified areas of greatest need as presented in Attachment A. Targeted census tracts include 1221.00, 1229.00, 1115.22, 1115.24, 1115.43, 1115.41, and 1115.14. The map in Attachment A includes data from the following sources, provided on the HUD website: Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), Federal Reserve Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), Labor Department, and United States Postal Service. C. D EFINITIONS AND D ESCRIPTIONS (1) Definition of blighted structure in context of state or local law. Response: The City of Arlington will define blighted structure as a property that is deteriorated, deteriorating or otherwise determined to be a substandard structure that constitutes a threat to human health, safety, and/or public welfare. (2) Definition of affordable rents. Note: Grantees may use the definition they have adopted for their CDBG program but should review their existing definition to ensure compliance with NSP program specific requirements such as continued affordability. Response: In the event that activities involving rental units are carried out as part of this grant, the City of Arlington will adopt the HOME affordable rent standards located at 24 CFR 92.252(a) (c) and (f).
