These census tracts are 105,106 and 207 and are specifically targeted as they are areas of low income and minority concentration. Public improvements are concentrated within these census tracts because they qualify area wide. By the nature of the homeowner support programs and down payment assistance, funding will directly go to low -to -moderate income households citywide as they all require individual verification of income for the assistance. It's anticipated that funding for slum and blight removal will assist local non -profits with reconstruction for low income housing, or removal of structures from floodplain. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Citywide 76 Census Tract 105, 106 & 207 24 Table 8 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Discussion At present, the City is not implementing any official HUD designated geographic based priority areas such as Empowerment Zone or Brownfields. Regardless of focus on a particular geographic area, this Consolidated Plan will prioritize projects that meet the following criteria: • Meet one or more of the established Consolidated Plan Goals for 2019-2023; • Address and/or mitigate issues identified in the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing; • Leverage the work of other City and/or JCHA adopted plans or initiatives.

The Authority tries to attract a variety of families of various socio-economic backgrounds to each of its public housing developments. Community activities are available to residents and publicized in special notices and flyers, and monthly newsletters. The JCHA distributes books through mini libraries, Santa, and by managers when children visit. • Annual Action Plan 26 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2020) AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction There are many programs offered by local agencies in Jefferson City area. The goals and strategies are to help individuals and families rise above, become self-sufficient, and eliminate barriers to success. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care (MO BoS CoC) has established a coordinated entry process with the goal of increasing the efficiency of local crisis response systems and improving fairness and ease of access to resources. Programs and strategies help to prevent homelessness among individuals, families with children and youth. Programs are designed to help households achieve more stable housing, especially those who have a history of being homeless, doubled -up, living in other temporary housing situations due to lack of available, affordable, appropriate shelter and housing. The MO BoS CoC provides the oversight of homeless assistance in Missouri. MO Bos CoC board members include representatives from all regions within the Balance of State, as well as at large representatives. Board representation includes a broad and diverse membership to represent the homeless population served within the CoC. Members are encouraged to participate from all sectors, including victim services providers, human trafficking, sexual assault, education, healthcare, law enforcement, local, state and federal government, emergency assistance, addiction and recovery, formerly homeless persons, veterans, and all homeless services. MO BoS CoC has adopted a Housing First policy to ensure that actual or perceived barriers are not contributing factors for households remaining in homelessness longer than necessary. The policy states that any projects included in the application for CoC funding must follow a Housing First approach. This means the projects must allow entry into CoC programs for participants regardless of their income, current or past substance use, criminal records and history of domestic violence. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Locally, the Salvation Army Center of Hope has a 31 bed capacity available to men, women and families with children with up to 15 overflow cots within the shelter for extreme cold or heat conditions. They also provide meals to residents and other members of the community, no identification is required. The Center of Hope offers a 90 day shelter that provides hot meals, a safe place to sleep, and case management to help residents plan for independent living, life skills classes, professional referrals, and laundry facilities. The Rape and Abuse Crisis Service serves 9 counties in Central Missouri providing a shelter, court advocacy, counseling, 24 hour hotline, crisis intervention, support groups and case management to survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse and stalking. RACS provides emergency shelter to 40 residents, including baby cribs, who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. A survivor does not need to be in a shelter to utilize the Rape and Abuse Crisis Service resources. Annual Action Plan 27 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2020) Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care (MO BoS CoC) has established a coordinated entry process with the goal of increasing the efficiency of local crisis response systems and improving fairness and ease of access to resources. Programs and strategies help to prevent homelessness among individuals, families with children and youth. Programs are designed to help households achieve more stable housing, especially those who have a history of being homeless, doubled -up, living in other temporary housing situations due to lack of available, affordable, appropriate shelter and housing.

The policy states that any projects included in the application for CoC funding must follow a Housing First approach. This means the projects must allow entry into CoC programs for participants regardless of their income, current or past substance use, criminal records and history of domestic violence. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. There are a variety of agencies in the Jefferson City area that provide housing options and case management assistance including those returning from mental and physical health institutions. They provide the option of living independently in a group setting. The state of Missouri Department of Mental Health also offers on housing assistance options such as rental assistance, home purchasing program, home repair/weatherization assistance, home access modifications. The Independent Living Resource Center in Jefferson City offers programs that provide people with the tools to learn how to live independently including cooking, budgeting, reading and finding employment. They also offer disability assistance for improvements on homes for people with disabilities. The unmet needs group is also a good resource for case management. Annual Action Plan 28 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2020) AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j) Introduction Barriers to affordable housing exist when the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing are affected by public policies, particularly those of the local jurisdiction. Such policies may include land use controls, zoning ordinances, building codes, and policies that affect the return on residential investment. Aging housing stock and vacant dwellings are a barrier. 45.0% of the homes were built between 1970 and 1999. 28.5% of the homes were built between 1940 and 1969. Single family homes comprised of 50.7%; 10.9% of properties within Jefferson City are vacant. (https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/mo/jefferson-city/real-estate) The 2019 tornado is a barrier to affordable housing due to damaging 516 residential buildings. The tornado destroyed a portion of the LMI housing stock leaving people on a wait list. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The following actions will be addressed in the 2023 Action Plan: 1. The City will update information on its website related to Fair Housing 2. The City will market existing programs through the City's website, social media, and the local newspaper in order to reach LMI beneficiaries 3. Work on attracting developers to construct rental housing units by promoting and packaging existing incentives 4. Work with the Human Relations Commission to address fair housing issues in Jefferson City Discussion: The City of Jefferson has updated the Citizen Participation Plan to be compliant with the implementation of the Assessment of Fair Housing. In the fall of 2022 the City will start the process of updating the Impediments to Fair Housing Analysis. Annual Action Plan 29 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2020) AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will work with agencies participating with the Unmet Needs Committee to address the obstacles to meeting underserved needs. City staff cooperates with the Salvation Army through the Unmet Needs Committee to stay aware of the needs of the shelter. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City currently has several programs within the Neighborhood Reinvestment Act (NRA) including Residential Tax Reimbursement Program, Residential Down Payment Assistance. These programs are locally funded and intended to foster affordable housing and create improvements within the Old Town sector of the City. In addition, the CDBG funded programs include emergency assistance repair in areas of code deficiencies, energy efficiency upgrades, and accessibility and emergency repairs. This program aids in maintaining affordability and sustainability by keeping the homeowners within their homes by correcting code deficiencies; increasing energy efficiency which potentially lower utility bills; completing ADA accessibility retro-fits; and/or repairing emergency health and safety issues such as replacing the wastewater connection. The CDBG Down Payment Assistance Program may aid in a household obtaining homeownership status. The program is designed for first time low -to -moderate income homebuyers (per HUD's definition) in purchasing a residential house within the City limits. This program is different from the City funded NRA Down Payment Assistance as the CDBG program does not have the requirements of purchasing a property within the "Old Town" sector. By providing assistance with down payments or closing cost will aid in providing decent housing that is affordable. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards The CDBG Down Payment and Homeowner Assistance Programs require lead based paint inspections for properties that were constructed prior to 1978. The Down Payment Assistance Program requires a visual inspection prior to closing. If there are any identified peeling paint or other lead based paint hazards positively identified through testing the buyer could be entitled to an additional $500 in order to mitigate the lead based paint hazard. As for the Homeowner Support Programs any painted areas that will be disturbed with rehabilitation will be tested for lead based paint. The areas positively identified as having lead based paint the EPA certified contractors shall repair the surfaces disturbed and include safe work practices clearance. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City intends to continue support for the Project Homeless Connect held annually in September. Project Homeless Connect is a one -day, one -stop event that connects individuals and families experiencing homelessness with on -site medical care and a variety of social services. Project Homeless Connect is a homeless services delivery model, first introduced in San Francisco in 2004. Since that time, more than 200 communities in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Australia have hosted Project Homeless Connect events, offering homeless individuals and families' much -needed assistance. Annual Action Plan 30 2023 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2020) The First United Methodist Church, First Baptist Church, First Christian Church along with the Jefferson City Homeless Task Force, which is made up of 22 organizations, are all collaborating to make the project a success. At each of the Project Homeless Connect events, numerous same -day services are delivered to homeless individuals and families, including access to shelter/housing, legal assistance, child care assistance, employment resources, haircuts, identification cards, medical check-ups, mental health screening, substance abuse screening, Medicaid and Social Security applications, vision testing and services, credit counseling, and more. Project Homeless Connect is outcome -oriented and serves as a way to provide immediate access to services for the homeless population. The goals of the day are simple: • Improve access to services and housing for the homeless consumers in Jefferson City • Engage and increase the collaboration of homeless consumers, local businesses, non-profit agencies, and individual volunteers to create solutions for homelessness. • Improve the system of care by creating opportunities and sharing "best practices" among homeless providers in our community. • The Down Payment Assistance Program provides LMI households $5,000.00 towards purchasing a single-family home. • The Emergency Assistance Program provides up to $5,000.00 to LMI households to keep their homes a suitable place to live. • The Public Improvement/Infrastructure Program improves infrastructure by building sidewalks in census tracts 105, 106 and 207. • The Demolition Program removes structures that are dangerous. The City of Jefferson demolishes the property and enters into a re -use agreement with a non-profit organization to sell the property to an eligible homebuyer. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City partners with various local and state agencies such as the Unmet Needs Committee, Housing Authority, River City Habitat for Humanity, MO Balance of State Continuum of Care, Homeless Task Force, Capital City Housing Task Force, Compass Health, Transformational Housing, and State and local departments. In addition, the City has an excellent relationship with the local Chamber of Commerce, Jefferson City Regional Economic Partnership, and Mid-Mo Regional Planning Commission. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City attends the Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to establish a network of agencies to enhance the service delivery to homeless, disabled individuals and families, and others seeking services for their current hardship and challenges in their lives. In addition, the City will continue participation in the monthly Unmet Needs Committee meetings. The Committee is comprised of various local agencies that provide updates of their existing programs and needs. Each meeting also includes a speaker and information on services an agency provides. By collaborating together often results in ideas, suggestions and a positive outcome.

Tiers The road and bridge unfunded needs are divided into "tiers" based on a combination of priority and ability to deliver the project within a general timeframe. Tier 1— Urgent Needs, projects must be deliverable within the timeline of the current STIP Tier 2 — Remaining needs, projects should be deliverable within 10 years. Tier 3 — Remaining needs, deliverable in future years. Multimodal needs are grouped together within a single category, and include rail, air, river, transit, and bicycle/pedestrian categories of projects. Placement of projects within the tiered list is ultimately a function of MoDOT. Project lists are submitted to Central District by the MPO's and RPC's, where the list is finalized in consultation with planning partners (MPO's and RPC staff). The District list is then sent to MoDOT Central Office, and ultimately presented to and adopted by the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission. Current CAMPO Road/Bridge Priorities (on State Highway System) Road and Bridge Projects: 1. Highway 50 and Truman Blvd/Country Club Drive Interchange (on Tier 1 list) 2.
