Several members of City staff are members of various boards, committees and sub -committees at which county -wide coordination is reached on issues pertaining to planning, transportation, housing, community development and neighborhood revitalization. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City's Social Services Division is available at all times to address the needs of the residents. Direct and/or indirect service delivery is coordinated through the City's Social Service staff. Staff has access to both internal and external programs and agencies which may be required to assist underserved needs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City has an Affordable Housing Policy as well as a Minimum Housing Code which lays out the City's plans to foster and maintain affordable housing, ensure future housing needs are met and development is in coordination with the City's Comprehensive and Consolidated Plans. In addition to the long-term goals of the policy, the Community Development Department will continue to promote affordable housing needs of the community. The City participates in local Homebuyer and Foreclosure Prevention workshops and seminars to further assist those in need. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards The Housing Division will continue to provide lead -based paint assessments and abatement on properties identified and containing hazards. A lead -based paint review of all properties constructed prior to 1978 is conducted prior to providing assistance. The City will also provide lead -based paint education during mandatory workshops for all clients assisted with CDBG funds under the Owner - Occupied Minor Home Repair program. Annual Action Plan 2018 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 27 Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City will continue to dedicate a majority of its federal and state funding to affordable housing strategies and coordinate with the Broward Coalition for the Homeless and Broward County agencies to support additional programs to limit poverty among the residents of Tamarac. Housing counseling, debt management, credit repair, as well as other social services are provided through various partners available to assist residents in financial crisis. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City's Housing programs will continue to be administered in-house by City staff. Internal City staff, committees, and Boards will review and recommend activities to be carried out under the Consolidated Plan. Additional input will be sought from outside agencies for the formulation of unmet needs and activities to address them. The City's Service Delivery System is largely conducted by City staff. Public Services are provided by the City's general funds, grant funds, local public services agencies and non-profit agencies. Coordination is strong, funding is weak. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City of Tamarac participates in County/City Committees created to coordinate public, private and community based efforts to expand affordable housing and economic development initiatives through research and program development activities that support community development joint ventures between the private and public sectors. To further the cause for affordable housing, the City will determine the following actions: • Continue to support the efforts of the City to develop recommendations regarding land use revisions/changes that would provide development incentives for the expansion of affordable rental/owner occupied housing. • Continue the implementation of the State Housing Incentive Partnership (SHIP) Program to promote and diversify available financing and inducement incentives to expand the affordable housing stock in the city of Tamarac. • The City of Tamarac Community Development Department will identify publicly owned land/buildings that can be developed for affordable housing initiatives.

Recapture Terms/Affordability Period for the Housing activities are as such: • Deferred loan secured by a lien against the property for a period of fifteen (15) years with zero (0) percent interest with a principal reduction of twenty (20) percent beginning in year eleven. At the end of the fifteenth year, the loan is forgiven. The pro -rated repayment is due upon the sale or transfer of the property or if cash equity is taken out within the fifteen (15) year loan term. • The City's loan documents provide that the obligation for repayment shall continue for the entire recapture terms even in the event of the death of the homeowner. The obligation to repay funds during the recapture period in the event of the sale of the property, or due to failure to comply with the obligations as stated in the loan document shall transfer to any heir or beneficiary of the deceased property owner. • The sale, transfer of ownership of the Property, refinancing of the Property with a cash payment to the Owner -Occupant, or the Owner -Occupant's vacation of the property as a primary residence during the fifteen (15) year term of the Agreement shall constitute a default.
