Five Year Consolidated Plan
Fiscal Year 2015/2016 — 2019/2020
Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. 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
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

•
•
•
• 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.

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(1)).
•
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.

• Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The City is a member of the Broward County Homeless Partnership Initiative, which is the lead
agency for the regional (Broward County) Continuum of Care. 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.

The City of Tamarac consulted with Broward County and members of the HOME Consortium for •
input, impact assessment, and consideration of potential coordination of programs.
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.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
During the development of the Five Year Plan (FY 2015/16 - 2019/20) the City sent out a
"Community Needs Survey" to external 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 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...

• NA-50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
A revitalization of Tamarac's older low-income neighborhoods and commercial areas is an on-
going concern making community development a high priority. 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
isinfrastructure 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 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
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.

Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(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.

The City of Tamarac determines the project locations using the 2000 Census data until
complete and updated information can be obtained from the 2010 Census and American
Community Survey data. A map was created identifying the low -moderate income areas and will •
be utilized to plan for public improvements in low/mod areas throughout the City. In addition to
the Census and ACS data, the City determines need and location of special projects based on
need and demand of its residents, as well as the condition of existing resources; such as public
facilities. The City of Tamarac does not have any CDBG specified target areas or
redevelopment areas at this time.
Local target areas used in the past included the Sunflower and Mainland's Section Ten

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.

Introduction
As a recipient of CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds, the City intends to allocate according to priority
need. 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.
FEDERALRESOURCES
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 is
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.

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System
The Community Development Department, Housing Division is responsible for the
administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment
Partnership (HOME) Programs. 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.

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed •
above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless
individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and
unaccompanied youth)
Although homelessness is a priority throughout the County, and the City of Tamarac supports all
efforts to end homelessness, typically less than 1 % of the County's homeless population
reported being from Tamarac.
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 is
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.

recently created various incentives, however, economic development may
not be funded utilizing CDBG funds during this five-year period. It is
expected that the City will fund any incentives created.
Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate -income
families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME
91.315(b)(2)
Over the next five years, through the City's housing activities such as home rehabilitation and
down payment assistance, it is expected that over 50 low -moderate income households may be
assisted utilizing the City's state and federal entitlement funds..
Should multi -family rehabilitation be funded, the estimated number of low -moderate income
households assisted would increase.
•
In addition to the direct services provided by the City, the Housing Division partners with several
agencies throughout the County on an on -going basis to assist residents with foreclosure
prevention, housing counseling to prepare for homeownership, emergency utility assistance, as
well as a host of other housing related services offered on a County -wide basis.

Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
As part of the Housing Assistance program, all properties receiving funds for Home
Rehabilitation or Down Payment Assistance have lead based paint (LBP) assessment
completed. All property owners are given the "Protect your family from Lead Hazards"
pamphlet. Abatement is conducted if the initial assessment indicates a lead based paint hazard
exists. Lead Based Paint testing is ordered with appropriate remediation actions suggested. A
Request for Quotation is issued with the LBP Report and contractors submit bids on the
remediation process. Once remediation is completed, a follow up test is conducted to ensure
clearance.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
In addition to the remediation of identified lead based paint products at City rehabilitation
properties listed above, all home rehabilitation provided through the City's federal and state
funded programs will consist of use of non -lead based paint products.

Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level
Families
The factors which contribute to poverty are lack of resources, information, education, jobs,
health care issues, child care issues, and an overall dependency on services. 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.
The plan and the activities carried out over the next five years include measures to assist at -risk ishouseholds. Foreclosure prevention workshops, homebuyer seminars, housing counseling
certifications, debt management partners and other activities reduce the number of families at or
near poverty levels.

Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities

As required by its federally funded programs, the City conducts an Annual Audit and Single
Audit Act review of programs. 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.
IsThe 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.
Covered in the monitoring program guide are program areas such as:

Introduction
As a recipient of CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds, the City intends to allocate according to priority
need. 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.
FEDERALRESOURCES
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 iscommunities, 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; •
Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 58
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• and payment of operating expenses of community housing development organizations.
Housing development costs include acquisition, new construction, re -construction, pre -
development and financing costs.
•
STATE RESOURCES
State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program
The City of Tamarac typically receives an annual allocation under this program. Florida
Housing administers the State Housing Initiatives Partnership program (SHIP), which provides
funds to local governments as an incentive to create partnerships that produce and preserve
affordable homeownership and multifamily housing. The program was designed to serve very
low, low and moderate income families.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing
underserved needs
The main focus is maintaining affordable housing and public services to all low -moderate
income residents of Tamarac, including those with special needs.
The major obstacle is funding, or lack thereof. Both federal and state allocations fluctuate and
are often decreased from year to year making planning for the future and meeting the needs of
the underserved difficult.

AP-86 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
Throughout the year, City staff participate in several community events, outreach efforts,
educational workshops, public service announcements, and invitational guest speaking
opportunities at various communities, boards, organizations, non -profits, and for -profits to
assess the needs of the community and share information with the residents of Tamarac as to
the availability of funds.
Several members of City staff are members of general local government planning 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 is
conducted prior to providing assistance.
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 within the City as well as 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.
Discussion
The City's Community Development Department will act as the primary entity responsible for the
coordinating, planning and implementing of programs and projects internally, and among private
and public agencies.

Program Specific Requirements
AP-90 Program Specific Requirements - 91.420, 91.220(1)(1,2,4)
Introduction
PROGRAM INCOME is only generated when a previous recipient of CDBG funds (or other

City. The City's Home Rehabilitation activity is the only activity in which funds are issued in the
form of a deferred loan.
Recapture Terms/Affordability Period for the Housing activities are as such:
Deferred loan secured by a lien against the property for a period of ten (10) fifteen (15)
years with zero (0) percent interest with a principal reduction of twenty (20) percent
beginning on the anniversary date of year eleven ems. At the end of the teRth 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 +offfifteen (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

Fair Housing
Fair Housing in the City of Tamarac is promoted during community events, workshops, and as
part of the one-on-one housing counseling at the staff level.
The City maintains an annual Scope of Work with H.O.P.E Inc. for all its Fair Housing initiatives
