Introduction Officially incorporated on July 19, 1963, the City of Tamarac was founded by developer Kenneth E. Behring. Mr. Behring's vision was to offer the convenience of a condominium with the privacy of a single-family home for active retirees. The homes were one-story, one- or two -bedroom homes that surrounded a common clubhouse providing a great deal of social activities for residents. Today Tamarac is no longer just a retirement destination. With a population that has gotten younger and more diverse over the years, the city boasts an array of activities and services for people of all ages. The five -member City Commission is the legislative and policy -making branch of the City of Tamarac government. Mayor Harry Dressler - At Large Vice Mayor Pamela Bushnell — District 1 Commissioner Michelle Gomez — District 2 Commissioner Diane Glasser — District 3 Commissioner Debra Placko — District 4 City Manager Michael C. Cernech The City of Tamarac has participated in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program as a direct entitlement grantee since FY 2000. The City is currently embarking on its next five-year Consolidated Planning cycle to receive HUD Federal grant allocations and will provide funds to promote affordable housing initiatives and socio-economic programs to address identified community needs. To receive CDBG funding, the City must assess local housing and community development needs and resources, and socioeconomic impediments toward building Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Exhibit "A" and sustaining viable neighborhoods. The result of the afore referenced assessment is the City of Tamarac Consolidated Plan. This Plan is a prerequisite to receiving the grant funds. HUD envisions the 5-year Consolidated Plan to function as: 1. A planning document for the City, which builds on a participatory process including government, residents, businesses, and educational institutions, 2. An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs, 3. A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD funded activities, 4. An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance The Consolidated Plan furthers the statutory goals through a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for community development actions. This Plan offers local jurisdictions a better chance to shape the various programs into effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies that create a specific course of action for revitalization. It is the means to analyze the City's local context and the linkages to the larger region. It also creates the opportunity for strategic planning and citizen participation to take place in a comprehensive context, and to reduce duplication of effort at the local level. The Plan builds on local assets and coordinates a response to the needs of the community; integrates economic, physical, environmental and human development in a comprehensive coordinated fashion. Once the five-year plan is developed, it sets forth goals, objectives and performance benchmarks for measuring progress. The Statutes for the CDBG grant program sets forth three basic goals which are closely related to the major commitments and priorities of HUD. Each of these goals must primarily benefit very low, low and moderate income persons within the context described below: 1) To provide suitable living environment, 2) to provide decent housing, 3) to expand economic opportunities This five-year "Consolidated Plan" incorporates priorities and programs addressing these goals.

Strategic Goals Consolidated Plan TAMARAC OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 7 Exhibit "A" 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This 5-year Con Plan will focus on projects and activities that support the results of the Community Needs Survey. The survey results are remarkably similar to those of the past five years. Priority continues to be preservation of the City's affordable housing supply. Objectives for the next five years will be to provide home rehabilitation assistance and down payment assistance to income eligible applicants. Additionally, providing public services to meet the needs of Tamarac's rapidly changing demographics continues to be a high priority. The objectives to meet this need will be on -going evaluation of the types of services and the population most in need for such services. Objectives and quantifiable outcomes will be described in further detail within the Strategic Plan sections as well as in each Annual Action Plan over the next five years. 3. Evaluation of past performance Over the last five years, U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds (CDBG & HOME) have assisted with the following: • Provided home rehabilitation for over 45 owner -occupied homes. • Installed 2 handicap accessibility doors at Public Facilities. • Installed and/or repaired sidewalks and accessibility pads at 5 neighborhood locations. • Provided a full-time temporary social worker that assisted over 420 residents in obtaining referrals, counseling and other social service needs. • Provided arthritis meditation/tai chi classes to over 270 seniors. • Provided fitness/jazzercise classes for over 280 seniors. • Provided nutritional cooking class to over 270 seniors. • Provided over 170 sessions of individual and group counseling. • Provided low -flow toilet rebates to 36 households. Although the City of Tamarac's demographics have changed, specifically with regard to the median age, seniors remain the population that utilizes the City's activities and assistance programs. The City's social services staff continually analyzes classes and activities to be provided based on turn out and response. Decent and affordable housing remains in high demand although with limited funds to meet the need of addressing the age of the City's housing stock. Each year almost 100 households apply for home rehabilitation assistance with funding available to approximately 15-20 households. New housing developments are being constructed in an affordable price range; however, the supply is still limited.

Introduction The City of Tamarac is the lead agency for completing the City's Consolidated Plan under the CDBG program. The City receives its HOME funds through the Broward County HOME Consortium. All other grant funds received from other entities are administered by the City Community Development Department, Housing Division. The City collaborates with several community stakeholders. Private and non-profit providers, advocacy agencies, housing developers, social service providers and other key partners play an instrumental role in addressing the needs of the residents of Tamarac. Not all residents can access services funded via the City's federal and state grants, therefore, external partnerships ensure continuity of resources for all. City staff is regularly familiarized with the needs of the community via the various professional affiliations, committees, memberships and associations. On -going review and consultation is the primary method of providing the best services to residents of Tamarac. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). During the development of the Five Year Plan (FY 2015/16-2019/20) the City sent out a "Needs Survey" to local and internal service providers as well as posted the survey on-line for additional public input. These service providers represent a wide range of individuals with expertise in engineering, planning, social services, economic development and parks and recreation. The consultation agencies were utilized to determine feasibility, duplication and consistency with local governmental plans, conformance with local zoning district, environmental impact and cost effectiveness. There are 3 public meetings as well to obtain input for both residents and those with any vested interest in future services to be provided by the City through its federally funded programs. The "Community Needs Survey" was sent to 15 agencies, in addition to being placed on the City's website for a 30 day period. All projects must be proven feasible prior to receiving HUD funds, as many require documentation indicating financial feasibility and conformance with applicable regulations and constraints (i.e. zoning, land use, flood plan, etc.). Projects will not be funded if the proposed project duplicates an existing program which the public sector administers.

The City supports the Initiative and its efforts to end homelessness. Through regular meetings and reports provided by Broward County, the City is kept up to date with Tamarac's homeless population. Broward's Continuum of Care addresses all aspects of homelessness including prevention, outreach, emergency shelter, transitional and permanent affordable housing, and supportive services. This work includes: • Facilitating community, business and governmental involvement in the homeless continuum of care • Direct oversight of the County's three regional Homeless Assistance Centers • Creating new and innovative programs to serve Broward's homeless population (such as the County's first homeless medical respite care facility) • Participation in the creation of applications and requests for proposals Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Tamarac is not a recipient of ESG funds and therefore does not participate in the development or use of ESG funds.

Narrative The Community Needs Survey process was utilized to prioritize the City's activities and programs to be funded over the next five years via federal, state and local funding sources. Although a successful exercise, the results were not surprising at all. The City of Tamarac regularly assesses the needs of its residents via annual neighborhood meetings gathering input on District specific needs, resident satisfaction surveys, Open City Hall our newest form of communication with the residents, as well as many more department specific analysis on how best to meet the needs of the community. The input received from the City's partners, adjacent governments and public entities provide sound feedback for the formulation of services.

These service providers represent a wide range of individuals with expertise in planning, social services, economic development, engineering, parks and recreation, and education. The consulting agencies were utilized to determine feasibility, duplication and consistency with local governmental plans, conformance with local zoning district, environmental impact and cost effectiveness. There were also three (3) opportunities for participation via public meetings, as well as a 30 day review period to obtain input from residents and those with any vested interest in future services to be provided by the City through its federally funded programs. The "Community Needs Survey" was sent to fifteen (15) surrounding agencies, in addition to being placed on the City's website for a 30 day period. The client base for those responding to the needs survey ranged from seniors, to homeless, to children and families. The services they offer include medical, transportation, housing, social service and educational needs. They are partners who represent agencies within the City, or within the City's service area which residents would seek assistance from. As a whole, these agencies who participated in the assessment of community needs serve over 250,000 people per year. The survey sought input on the following areas of need: • Housing Services for underserved groups such as: homeless, transitional housing, and people with special needs • Condition of Infrastructure: streets, sewers, sidewalks, etc... • Inadequate supply of "affordable Housing" • Inadequate financial resources to acquire or remain in housing • Availability of job training and access to employment • Availability of social services: health, recreational, educational, etc...

Activities of importance have been improvements to sidewalks, public facilities, and senior centers over the past five years. Public facilities projects have been funded benefiting low -moderate income residents and/or direct benefit limited clientele over the past five years utilizing CDBG funds. The City has an adequate number public facilities, the real need lies with ensuring accessibility and on -going improvements to the existing facilities. Public facility improvements will continue to be a priority for the next five years as the City's public facilities are aging and require improvement. Projects that provide an area -wide benefit or a direct benefit to limited clientele will be considered each year under the City's Annual Action Plans. As larger projects are identified, the City will seek additional funds from other resources to help fund such projects. The City's current non -housing, non -administrative inventory consists of a Community Center, Recreation Center, Fitness/Aquatic Center, Fire Stations and several parks. How were these needs determined? As part of the "Community Needs Survey", the results stated that improvement to the City's infrastructure and public facilities were the second highest priority. As with the past five years, the City will continue to make such improvements a priority utilizing both public and grant funds. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The City's older low-income areas are the most in need of revitalization and physical improvement. With a large part of the City's population still older in age, many of these public improvements will require accessibility features and other user-friendly improvements. Activities that provide an area -wide benefit or a direct benefit to limited clientele will be considered each year under the City's Annual Action Plans. How were these needs determined? As part of the "Community Needs Survey", the results stated that improvement to the City's infrastructure and public facilities were the second highest priority. As with the past five years, the City will continue to make such improvements a priority utilizing both public and grant funds. Consolidated Plan TAMARAC OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 21 Exhibit "A" Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: The City of Tamarac has a very diverse population and an average age which has dropped substantially over the past five to ten years. However, the senior population continues to rely heavily on the City to provide social services to meet their needs or partner with agencies that can provide various services. The current realm of public services includes, but is not limited to: • Senior services • Disabled services • Youth services • Transportation services • Single parent family services • Mental health services • Crime awareness/prevention • Health care services These services are in high demand and well attended by the community. The City takes advantage of the 15% limitation on public services utilizing the funds in full each year. How were these needs determined? The need for public services will continue to be a priority for the City due to its on -going demand by the residents. Each new service, class or program is researched prior to funding to ensure need and participation. Services not able to be funded by the City will be identified in surrounding communities such that Tamarac's residents may still have access to such needs. The survey results showed that with regard to "suitable living environment" to expand and diversify public services to enhance access, over 60% of those surveyed felt this was a "high" priority.

The City has an education and healthcare services, and retail trade business sector. The businesses with the highest number of employees are Convergys (call center), City Furniture and University Hospital. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: With a large emphasis on economic development in the upcoming years, job placement and job training for residents within the City will be a large component of any type of financial assistance. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The City is actively planning for "Tamarac Village", a mixed use development over the next five years. Housing and commercial pre and post development components will have a positive impact on job and business growth opportunities. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?

(include a definition of "concentration") DEFINITION OF CONCENTRATION: a close gathering of people or things According to the 2011-2013 ACS data, there are less than 1% of households with characteristics which would reflect Substandard Housing Units. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") DEFINITION of racial/minority, low income concentration A neighborhood in which any one of the following statistical conditions exists: (1) The percentage of persons of a particular racial or ethnic minority is at least 20 points higher than that minority's percentage in the housing market as a whole; (2) The neighborhood's total percentage of minority persons is at least 20 points higher than the total percentage of minorities for the housing market area as a whole; or (3) In the case of a metropolitan area, the neighborhood's total percentage of minority persons exceeds 50 percent of its population. The racial composition within the City of Tamarac mirrors that of the local region, Broward County. Additionally, the racial composition is consistent with that of the entire State of Florida. Based on the definition above, no one race group exceeds a 20% difference than that of the County or the State. Census tracts and block groups within the City may be more diverse, however, they do not necessarily equally reflect similar income levels. The income levels in the census tracts with a racial composition over 20% from the City as a whole are not necessarily the lowest income census tracts within the City. Both census tracts lie within the central portion of the City, and border other cities to the north. There have been substantial infrastructure improvements in both areas as well as more recent new home developments near these areas over the past five years.

For the next five years, the City expects the housing market to continue to rebound from the dramatic slump that began in 2006. Affordable housing will remain a priority for the City of Tamarac and Home Rehabilitation will be a key activity. To support the five year investment plan the appropriate federal resources described below will be utilized and applications will be submitted and or supported in achieving the City's listed projects and actions outlined in this section. FEDERAL RESOURCES Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) was first authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1974, by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (HCDA), with subsequent amendments. The primary purpose of the HCDA is the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. At least 70% of all CDBG funds must be spent on activities which benefit low or moderate income persons. Funds are used for housing to benefit low and moderate income persons, public facilities and improvements, expanded public services that include employment training, child care, fair housing counseling or recreational needs; rehabilitation of private or publicly owned buildings; economic development activities that create or retain jobs for low and moderate income persons. Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Since FY 2002, the City of Tamarac has been a member of the Broward County HOME Consortium along with the Entitlement Cities of Tamarac, Coral Springs, Margate, Deerfield Beach, Sunrise, Lauderhill, Plantation, Davie, Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Coconut Creek. The United States Congress passed the National Affordable Housing Act In 1990. This Act created a variety of affordable housing programs, including the Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME). The City of Tamarac receives an allocation of these funds as a member of the Consortium. The purpose of the HOME program is to provide funds to local jurisdictions to strengthen public - private partnerships to provide more affordable housing through acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of housing, and tenant based rental assistance. In addition, HUD rules require that at least 15% of HOME funds be set aside for community housing development organizations to develop affordable housing. HOME funds may be used to provide: affordable renter/owner occupied units; tenant based rental assistance; administrative and planning costs; and payment of operating expenses of community housing development organizations. Housing development costs include acquisition, new construction, re- construction, pre -development and financing costs.

The City of Tamarac is a member of the Broward County Consortium and Continuum of Care. The City's housing related service delivery system is conducted by staff in the Community Development Department, Housing Division. Private agencies are contracted to assist with services such as specification writing and real estate transactions. Public Service activities are administered by the Social Services Division of Parks and Recreation Department with resources provided by the City's general funds, grant funds, local public services agencies and non-profit agencies. Most public service activities are carried out by private agencies specializing in the particular service needed. Local non-profit agencies assist with social services not available through the City.

The primary advocate for persons at -risk of homelessness within the City of Tamarac is Parks and Recreation's Social Services Division. Case workers are familiar resources within the community to assist in identifying the appropriate agency to provide services. CDBG funds are allocated to provide a full-time Information and Referral Specialist to the community. Additionally, as a member of the Broward County Consortium and Continuum of Care the City supports efforts to end homelessness. Broward County's Point in Time Report from January 2015 provides a breakdown of homeless counted by categories such as: veterans, youth, and families. This report allows the County to re -assess its current services and programs to accommodate the current homeless population. Per Broward County's Point in Time Count, there are 2,624 homeless persons (2,124 households). *Female 857 *Male 1,760 Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above A strength in service delivery is the number of agencies County -wide dedicated to end homelessness. There are over 15 agencies throughout the County who serve homeless and special needs populations. Outreach, education, point -in -time counts, funding drives, treatment, referral services and other activity is on -going throughout Broward County. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs The main gap would be the limited number of shelters available. There are more homeless people in Broward County than there are shelters and facilities to assist.

The City has programs currently to help in these areas as well as various partnerships with regional agencies to improve self-sufficiency. The City will dedicate a majority of its federal and state funding to housing and non - 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. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan Housing Counseling for new homebuyers as well as current homeowners has also become a priority to ensure those at -risk of losing their home can be assisted, educated, and prevent foreclosure leading to homelessness.

A copy of the City's CAFR is submitted to HUD on an annual basis. Additionally, the City will prepare its Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report documenting achievement and performance. U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development as well as State funded agencies reserve the right to conduct reviews/audits of the programs proposed as part of the City's Annual Action Plan of Local Housing Assistance Plan. Sub -recipients of CDBG funds will also be closely monitored to ensure compliance and that the goals and objectives of the City's Plan are being met. The City recently created a Monitoring Plan to clarify the responsibilities of sub -recipients. In 2014, the City of Tamarac created a Monitoring Program Guide after a HUD on -site monitoring. The HUD monitoring suggested that the City create a plan that outlines the monitoring process that the administering agency conducts with its sub recipients. The City's only "sub recipients" are internal City departments; however, HUD Field Office cited them as sub recipients and further explained that the monitoring plan should be outlined. The guide outlines the methods to which the City intends to carry out its programmatic requirements. As an entitlement community, the City is the responsible agency for ensuring the projects/activities proposed are being carried out adequately, timely, financially responsible and safe for the environment and community. The Housing Division, within the Community Development Department is the administrative facilitator of all housing related grants and ultimately the party to carry out the various types of monitoring activity ensuring compliance. This Program Guide lists the areas to be monitored, as well as the method to which the monitoring will be conducted. This monitoring plan primarily applies to the City's CDBG program, however, may be implemented for other Federal funds as received.
