INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report, 2020-21 Program Year
DISCUSSION:
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the year-end report that
evaluates the progress made towards the community development programs and activities
identified in Denton’s 2020-2023 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development
(Consolidated Plan) Annual Action Plan (AP). The CAPER is submitted annually to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Denton uses the CAPER to
inform the public how federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME), and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) entitlement funds
have been expended and to highlight successes in addressing the 3-year Consolidated Plan
priorities and objectives. The 2020-21 CAPER reports on the first year of the Consolidated Plan.
The CAPER also contains details on activities funded by the CDBG and HOME Programs.
Finally, the CAPER provides data on units completed, number and type of individuals assisted,
dollars expended, sources of funds used, and other relevant performance data.
2020-21 CAPER REPORT
The 2020-21 CAPER provides information for the 2020-21 Program Year (PY). The City of
Denton amended the 2020-21 PY for the federal CDBG and HOME grants. Before the 2020-21
PY, the program year for the federal grants started August 1 through July 31. The City of Denton
requested to change the program year to align with the City’s fiscal year and start October 1 and
end September 30 requiring two-month extension. With this change, the 2020-21 PY began
August 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021, a 14-month program year. HUD approved the
City’s substantial amendment to change the program year, and subsequent program years will run
from October 1 through September 30.
While the CAPER focuses on federally funded activities, the City of Denton recognizes the
importance of local funding in the provision of community development activities, especially in
social services and homelessness. Accomplishments including resources leveraged, homeless and
homeless prevention narratives, and a summary of households/persons assisted supported by both
local and federal funds are provided in the CAPER report (Exhibit 1).
A One-Page Summary of the CAPER and HUD’s Annual Community Assessment for the 2020
Program Year is attached (Exhibit 2). HUD is required to conduct an annual review of
performance by grant recipients according to the provisions of the Housing and Community
Development Act and the National Affordable Housing Act. The assessment includes performance
data based on the federal funding sources – CDBG, HOME, and CDBG-CV. The performance
data provided in the Informal Staff Report includes performance data based on federal, state, and
local funding sources.
Date: April 1, 2022 Report No. 2022-024
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Citizens have a variety of ways to provide comments on all Community Development programs
and projects throughout the year. To ensure citizen participation in the 2020-21 PY performance
report process, the City followed its 2020-2023 Citizen Participation Plan. A notice was placed in
the Denton Record Chronicle on December 12, 2021, requesting public comments on the draft
2020-21 PY CAPER. The advertisement stated that the City of Denton accepts comments on the
performance report from December 13 through 27 on the status of community development
projects. The advertisement also included the website location of the draft report. The draft 2020-
21 CAPER report was available at www.cityofdenton.com/communitydevelopment beginning
December 13. Citizen participation strategies include:
• Public Comment. Community Development accepted comments on the draft report from
December 13 through 27 by phone at (940) 349-7726, at Community Development at 401
N. Elm St., Denton, TX 76201, by email at CommunityDevelopment@cityofdenton.com
• Social media outreach. Staff coordinated with Public Affairs to post information on the
City’s social media channels.
• Email. Staff sends out information through Constant Contact to interested citizens,
previous clients, committee members, local churches, participating lenders and realtors,
neighborhood associations, and social services agencies.
• DTV. Staff coordinated with DTV to include an information slide on the availability of
the CAPER comment period.
During the comment period, one comment was received and is stated below:
The city of Denton needs housing for persons that are 60+. Small duplex type at rates
considering most are on social security. Very limited in Denton sadly, or the waiting lists
are long, and areas are not desirable. Why not build some in each new housing
development. That way elderly, young children and families become connected. This
benefiting both. Proven by research. We as a community are so far behind in caring for
our elderly at realistic prices. I grew up here in North Denton by the newly renamed
Nette Schultz {Elementary}. I love our town and as an older resident now want to stay in
Denton! Thanks for listening!
The City of Denton accepted the comment as a need in the community and will utilize the
comment in the 2022-23 program year Action Plan process.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.
91.520(a)
This document serves as the City of Denton's 2020/21 PY Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment
Partnership Grant, and the Community Development Block Grant – CARES funding programs.
This report meets the performance requirements described in the Consolidated Plan (ConPlan)
regulations at 24 CFR 91.520.
The performance report meets the following three purposes: 1) it provides HUD with the
necessary information for the Department to meet its regulatory requirement to assess
Denton’s ability to carry out the CDBG and HOME grants in compliance with all applicable rules
and regulations; 2) it provides information necessary for HUD’s Annual Report to Congress; and
3) it provides Denton an opportunity to describe to its citizens the successes in meeting the
strategies stated in the three-year Consolidated Plan.
The City of Denton amended the 2020/21 PY for the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Before the 2020/21 PY, the
program year for the federal grants started August 1 through July 31. The City of Denton
requested to change the program year to align with the City’s fiscal year and start October 1
and end September 30, a two-month extension. With this change, the 2020/21 PY would begin
August 1, 2019, through September 30, 2021, and the 2021 program year and each program
year after that would run from October 1 through September 30. HUD approved the City’s
substantial amendment to change the program year.
The City of Denton is currently an entitlement city for the Community Development Block Grant
and a participating jurisdiction under the HOME Investment Partnership Program. During the
2020/21 PY, the following funding in Table 1 was available to the City of Denton to further the
objectives of the Consolidated Plan. These amounts include unexpended funds from the
previous PY.

The 2020/21 PY is the first year of Denton’s 2020-23 Consolidated Plan. Staff focused on
housing and public services, emphasizing homeless assistance and public facility improvements.
Below is a summary of accomplishments and goals:
Affordable Housing: The City has a completion rate of 59.3% at the end of Year 1 and aims to
meet the 3-year goal of 123 units in affordable housing. Three (3) households received down
payment and closing costs assistance through the Homebuyer Assistance Program. Habitat for
Humanity of Denton County purchased, constructed, and closed on one unit. Denton Affordable
Housing Corp. renovated eight (8) rental units. Fairoaks Inc. renovated 30 rental units. The City
assisted 31 homeowners with minor, substantial rehabilitation or reconstruction to their
homes.
Homeless Assistance and Prevention: The City has a completion rate of 40.4% at the end of
Year 1 and is on target to meet the 3-year goals of assisting 7,560 people. Denton County
Friends of the Family, Hotel Voucher Program, and The Salvation Army of North Texas helped a

activities.
Public Services: The City has a completion rate of 11.5% at the end of Year 1. The City is behind

PY. The pandemic affected the number of people assisted during the program year. It is
expected that the City will meet the Public Services goals by the next program year due to the
additional person that will be assisted with CDBG-CV funds.

the end of Year 1. The City is agead if schedule on its 3-year goal of assisting 24,000 people.

Narrative
The City of Denton provides the majority of its HUD-funded community development programs
city-wide to ensure access by all citizens at low- and moderate-income levels. At 80% of Area
Median Income, Household income is considered low and moderate-income. Geographic
distribution of some capital improvement projects is based on citizen comments and City staff
input regarding significant needs in the low-income community, specifically public facility
improvements. Below is an overview of the programs provided city-wide.
The Minor Repair Program (MRP) assists with minor repairs of up to $10,000 on single-family
homes and mobile homes. Households at or below 80% of the area median income within
Denton’s city limits are eligible for the minor repair program. While eligible households may live
anywhere in the city, most homes completed during the 2020/21 PY were in Southeast and
Northeast Denton, as shown on the map in Attachment 2. This area has higher concentrations
of older housing stock in need of rehabilitation and eligible low- and moderate-income
homeowners.
CAPER 10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The Homebuyer Assistance Program (HAP) provides down payment and closing cost assistance
to eligible low- and moderate-income homebuyers city-wide. The map in Attachment 2 shows
the geographic distribution of the HAP-assisted home purchased during the 2020/21 PY.
Public service activities provide services to eligible low- and moderate-income households
throughout the Denton community through local non-profits in the form of a grant.
The Home Improvement Program (HIP) assists with substantial rehabilitation or reconstruction
of single-family homes. Assistance is provided to households at or below 80% of the area
median income within the city limits of Denton. While eligible households may live anywhere in
the city, the homes completed during the 2020/21 PY were in Southeast Denton, as shown on
the map in Attachment 2. This area has higher concentrations of older housing stock in need of
rehabilitation and eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting
these goals.
The 2020/21 PY is the first year of Denton’s 2020-23 Consolidated Plan. Staff focused on
housing and public services emphasizing homeless assistance and public facility improvements.
Below is a summary of accomplishments and goals:
Affordable Housing: The City has a completion rate of 59.3% at the end of Year 1 and aims to
meet the 3-year goal of 123 units in affordable housing. Three (3) households received down
payment and closing costs assistance through the Homebuyer Assistance Program. Habitat for
Humanity of Denton County purchased, constructed, and closed on one (1) unit. Denton
Affordable Housing Corp. renovated eight (8) rental units. Fairoaks Inc. renovated 30 rental
units. The City assisted 32 homeowners with minor, substantial rehabilitation or reconstruction
to their homes.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
Public Services: The City has a completion rate of 11.5% at the end of Year 1. The City is behind
meeting the 3-year goal of assisting 4,500 people. Funding was available to Denton City County
Day School, SPAN, Inc., and City’s Summer Kids Camp to assist 519 people during the 2020/21
PY. The pandemic affected the number of people assisted during the program year. It is
expected that the City will meet the Public Services goals by the next program year due to the
additional person that will be assisted with CDBG-CV funds.
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: The City has a completion rate of 40.6% at
the end of Year 1. The City is agead if schedule on its 3-year goal of assisting 24,000 people.
During the 2020/21 PY, the CASA Project, Denton City County Day School Improvement Project,
and Serve Denton Sidewalk Project were completed. We expect to complete four projects
during the 2021-22PY and exceed the 3-year goal.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Through collaborative efforts, our Housing Crisis Response System plan includes goals for
reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs through the following collaborative efforts.
Annually, the City participates in the Point-In-Time (PIT) Count with the collaborative partner
(and Balance of State CoC lead agency), the Texas Homeless Network, reaching out to assess
the needs of persons experiencing homelessness. City staff supported efforts to produce and
distribute a report, including PIT Count results and data collected in real-time throughout the
year throughout the City, including the City website and community presentations. Due to
COVID-19 restrictions, the report was presented virtually to the community over lunch and
evening hour presentations. The PIT identified 258 people experiencing homelessness in
January 2020. The 2021 PIT Count was cancelled, except for a sheltered count, due to COVID-19
concerns.
The City supports a Street Outreach (SO) program, Coordinated Entry, and a Rapid Rehousing
(RRH) program through direct funding and staffing to reach out to sheltered and unsheltered
people experiencing homelessness, document and prioritize them for housing, and offer them
permanent housing opportunities.
Street Outreach (SO) is a critical tool in our response to homelessness. Street Outreach visits
with people experiencing homelessness who are living unsheltered to make contact and to
build rapport with individuals who are not seeking assistance or are not aware of services
available. In addition to immediate care provided at the point of contact, outreach seeks to
perform Coordinated Entry assessments and connect individuals to community resources.
Outreach has continued throughout COVID-19 with appropriate safety precautions.
Denton has adopted and currently implements Coordinated Entry (CE) and the Housing Priority
List (HPL), a uniform process designed to identify quickly, assess, refer and connect people in
crisis to housing assistance and services. Households that complete the CE assessment process
are then included in the HPL and referred to the most appropriate housing solution.
Households are pulled off the HPL in order of priority status as housing assistance becomes
available.
Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) is a permanent housing solution. Without permanent housing, there is
constant housing instability. RRH provides housing relocation and stabilization services to help
CAPER 19
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
an individual or family experiencing homelessness move as quickly as possible into permanent
housing and supports them with wrap-around services to gain stability in that housing.
Street Outreach in Denton is a collaborative team with Giving Hope Inc., the Denton Police
Department (DPD), Denton Fire/EMS, Denton County MHMR (MHMR), the United Way of
Denton County, and volunteers and other service providers. During the 2020/21 PY, the City
awarded $18,850 of general funding to the United Way of Denton County to provide HMIS
licenses to community partners for data collection, data quality, data analysis, and data
reporting for our Coordinated Entry (CE) system; $64,600 to Giving Hope Inc. for dedicated
Street Outreach case management; and $80,000 to the United Way of Denton County for
homeless coordinators to support Coordinated Entry efforts.
Coordinated Entry affords us the key data for individual housing needs for local housing
programs providers to receive referrals, reach out, and pull people off the Housing Priority List
(HPL) as housing units and funding for housing assistance is available. Rapid Re-Housing (RRH)
provides a permanent housing opportunity for those on the Housing Priority List (HPL) to be
referred. The City awarded $100,000 of general funding to Our Daily Bread to provide Rapid Re-
Housing assistance to sheltered and unsheltered clients in need of housing. Rapid Re-Housing
assists with application fees, security deposits, and rental assistance.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In Denton, through collaborative efforts, our Housing Crisis Response System plan includes
goals for addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
through the following collaborative efforts.
Diversion and Prevention are the most cost effective of all solutions. Diversion and prevention
are critical components of our Housing Crisis Response System by reducing the number of
people who become homeless. Homeless prevention helps households stay in their current
housing situation. Diversion prevents homelessness for people seeking shelter by helping them
identify immediate alternate housing arrangements and, when necessary, connecting them
with services.
Emergency shelter and temporary housing assist people experiencing a housing crisis or fleeing
an unsafe situation to quickly find a safe place to stay. Emergency and temporary housing are a
part of a continuum of services that aligns with the larger goals of moving people from
homeless to housing.
The City of Denton addressed the emergency shelter (ES) and transitional housing (TH) needs of
persons experiencing homelessness through supporting HMIS data systems and providing
funding for programs. Specifically, $90,000 in general funds were allocated for ES to Our Daily
Bread (ODB). along with $40,000 in CDBG funds to Denton County Friends of the Family
(DCFOF) and $35,000 in CDBG for the Salvation Army (TSA) in the amount of $35,000. One
CAPER 20
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
thousand thirty-five (1,037) people experiencing homelessness stayed in DCFOF and ODB
shelters. An additional 2,647 received meals and accessed the food pantry at TSA.
Four-hundred thousand ($400,000) was allocated to Our Daily Bread (ODB) for emergency
shelter to increase accessibility from 3-nights a week to 7-nights a week and implement an
Enhanced Shelter program with a housing focus and supported case management.
In March 2020, Denton City Council approved CARES funding to temporarily house individuals
and families experiencing homelessness in local hotels to implement COVID-19 safety protocol.
This transition was deemed necessary by staff to prevent potential breakouts and allow
individuals and families experiencing homelessness to have a safe place to sleep in non-
congregate settings. Collaboration with local organizations has allowed for meals and supplies
to be readily available to people staying in the hotels and reduced the need for people staying
in shelters to venture into large group settings. Additionally, the hotel setting has allowed
people experiencing homelessness who test positive for the virus to safely quarantine until they
are without symptoms and no longer considered contagious.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
Diversion and Prevention are critical cost-effective components for reducing the number of
people who become homeless in our Housing Crisis Response System. Homeless prevention
helps households stay in their current housing situation. Diversion prevents homelessness for
people seeking shelter by helping them identify immediate alternate housing arrangements
and, when necessary, connecting them with services.
Homeless Prevention can serve those who are likely to become homeless after being
discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities,
mental health facilities, foster care, other youth facilities, and corrections programs and
institutions). In 2021, the City received $1,384,405.00 in Emergency Solutions Grant
Coronavirus (ESG-CV) funding. ESG-CV awards were made to Christian Community Action (CCA),
Giving Hope Inc. (GHI), Grace Like Rain (GLR), and The Salvation Army (TSA). Each funding
award included an allocation for Homeless Prevention. A total of $533,667 was allocated to
Homeless Prevention.
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
CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Better data in HMIS and better processes through Coordinated Entry (CE) continue to improve
the overall housing crisis response system. In 2020/21 PY, the City continued to support the
housing needs of homeless persons by providing $18,850 to fund licenses for the Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS) and $80,000 to the United Way of Denton County
(UWD) to support the ongoing implementation and improvement of CE. The UWD coordinates
the housing crisis response system, CE, data collection, data quality, and data reporting. There
are twelve (12) agencies now reporting critical system performance data. This reporting
provides vital data for the community to complete a comprehensive analysis of the homeless
system to identify needs, gaps in housing and to use the data to inform housing, programming
and funding decisions.
In 2020/21 PY, the City allocated $100,000 from the general fund for Rapid Rehousing (RRH).
Our Daily Bread received $100,000 to provide RRH to people experiencing homelessness. Also,
of the City’s overall Emergency Solutions Grant Coronavirus (ESG-CV) funding, $584,075 was
awarded to the following nonprofit vendors: Giving Hope Inc. (GHI), Grace Like Rain (GLR), The
Salvation Army (TSA), and the United Way of Denton County (UWD) for Rapid Rehousing (RRH)
services.
As part of the development of the City’s CE process, partner agencies under the support of UW
meet every two weeks in case conferencing to manage the Housing Priority List (HPL). One
week a month focuses on literal and chronic homeless, and one week focuses on veterans.
Those ranked as the most vulnerable are prioritized for HUD-funded permanent supportive
housing programs and other housing assistance services. Investment in CE has reduced the time
that it takes to identify housing needs and refer to the right housing option. While we still have
a long way to go because of the availability of housing units, we are seeing shorter wait times
for housing for first-time homeless.
Other programs described in previous sections also shorten the length of time individuals and
families experience homelessness. Street Outreach (SO) connects the unsheltered to City-
funded emergency shelters, Denton County Friends of the Family (DCFOF), Our Daily Bread
(ODB), and The Salvation Army, Denton (TSA). Outreach directly connects to emergency shelter
and CE and the HPL services result in referral to housing assistance programs like Rapid
Rehousing (RRH); Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) funded through the CoC grant; and
referrals to the Denton Housing Authority for housing choice voucher.
In addition to general funds, the City supported CoC grant-funded PSH and SSO programs
administered by Giving Hope, Denton County MHMR, and the United Way of Denton County, by
providing Certification of Consistency with the Con Plan and written letters of support in
applications for CoC funded programs.

The City’s Affordable Housing Needs & Market Value Analysis identified various housing
development and preservation tools that can support Denton’s unique housing needs.
Collaborative, cross-sector strategies are vital. Public sector incentives and investments must
balance the value of neighborhood characteristics with the cost of land acquisition and
development to meet production volume goals while still facilitating economic mobility. Policies
can address, to an extent, impediments such as the availability of affordable units in a range of
sizes and source-of-income discrimination.
Action taken in 2020/21 PY that served to reduce barriers to affordable housing through public
policy and programs supported by public policy:
CDBG/HOME
• Increased housing choice by increasing down payment assistance from $15,000 to
$40,000 in the Homebuyer Assistance Program to bring down the overall home cost and
make it affordable to lower AMI households. 3 Households were assisted.
• Continued high-performing housing programs designed to ensure that affordable,
accessible housing is created and preserved in Denton. The majority of homes
completed during the 2020/21 PY were in Southeast and Northeast Denton, as shown
on the map in Attachment 2. This area has higher concentrations of older housing stock
in need of rehabilitation and eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners.
• HOME funds allocated to the City’s CHDO, DAHC, were utilized for eight (8) Rental
Rehabilitation projects to rehabilitate single‐family and duplex units, including five (5)
units for persons with disabilities.
• Completed the Fairoaks Senior Housing Project to install HVAC units in thirty (30) units
for elderly persons.
To leverage other federal resources:
• The City provides a Housing Tax Credit Policy and Application supporting of the
development and preservation of affordable rental housing for low-income households.
Developers request Housing Tax Credits (HTC) through the Texas Department of Housing
and Community Affairs. The City provided one (1) Resolution of Support for a
developer’s 9% HTC Application and Resolutions of No Objection for three (3) 4% HTC
applications.
The City also leverages human resources and policy-driven grant programs
CAPER 25
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• The City preserved affordable housing units throughout Denton through the
Development Fee Grant Program, including one (1) nonprofit developer and one (1)
homeowner in the City’s Home Improvement Program.
• The City completed the City’s Affordable Housing assessment, and the City is utilizing
the assessment in Phase Two to enhance Denton’s zoning and development codes,
prioritize investment, and incentive strategies to increase the supply of affordable
housing, especially in high opportunity areas.
• The City participated in four (4) quarterly round table meetings with (DCTA) to improve
access to transit resources (bus stops, route locations, and schedules, and covered bus
stops to provide shelter in inclement weather).
• The City collaborated with Denton Housing Authority, Balance of State CoC, and United
Way of Denton County in allocating American Rescue Plan Emergency Housing
Vouchers.

• All Community Development staff attend HUD-sponsored fair housing training in April
2021 to keep apprised of any recent changes to fair housing laws or requirements
related to Fair Housing and Community Development programs.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Denton has several tools to identify obstacles to meeting underserved needs. To
understand gaps and barriers in Denton, the City analyzes Community Needs Assessments from
community partners such as the Denton County Health Department, Texas Health Presbyterian,
and the United Way of Denton County.
Guided by the Citizen Participation Plan, City staff also review activities with the public. By
holding public meetings, utilizing public comment periods, gathering community surveys
accessible online for citizens and non-profit agencies, participating actively in coalitions and
committees, maintaining ongoing consultation with various city departments, and consulting
with housing providers, including nonprofits and the Denton Housing Authority, the City utilizes
real-time data on community needs to inform underserved needs. In addition, the City analyzes
homeless data collected during the annual PIT Count and ongoing HMIS data to understand
obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
While demand far exceeds available resources, existing resources support actions to address
obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
CAPER 26

Through the financial and human resources in support of public services programs, special
projects, and system planning, the City is taking actions to ensure a coordinated response to
complex social issues, including support for and improving institutional structures.
The City has defined these overall institutional structure strategies to:
1. Develop and maintain a coordination system across service sectors and cultivation of
systems to better match services to identified need;
2. Identifying and continuously evaluating the strengths and gaps in housing and
supportive services, including improving systems to share best practices information
across sectors;
3. Collect and utilize data that inform system-wide decision-making for prioritizing and

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
CDBG Program Monitoring
Community Development Division is responsible for monitoring subrecipients using a
systematic review and evaluation of compliance with Service Agreement terms, conditions, and
policies. Multiple methods are used to monitor agency service performance and agreement
compliance. These include desk monitoring of documents submitted monthly by agencies,
including reports, requests for reimbursement, financials, and governance documents; informal
monitoring involving routine record requests by email, phone, and letter; formal monitoring
evaluation involving telephone interviews and required meetings; and on-site monitoring
evaluation.
Staff monitor CDBG public facility improvements subrecipients such as Denton City County Day
School, Fred Moore Day Nursery School, and Denton Community Food Center for five years to
ensure compliance with CDBG regulations. All nonprofit agencies submit quarterly or monthly
financial and beneficiary reports. During the 2020/21 PY, all agencies provided services to
eligible low and moderate-income persons and submitted required reports.
In the 2020/21 PY, monthly desk monitorings were completed to review requests for
reimbursements to ensure all expense items were eligible under the grant rules. The process
has a strong system of checks and balances. All requests for reimbursements are reviewed for
allowable costs/eligibility, approved by the Grants Coordinator, authorized by the Director of
Community Services, processed for payment by the Administrative Assistant, and
reimbursements were completed by the Finance Department. Additionally, documented
monthly monitoring included a review of financials and board governance documents. If any
monitoring documents were not up to date, informal monitoring involved a written request for
correction to provide updated monitoring documents. Monitoring actions are documented in
monthly report. In addition, there was a, “HS Grant 6mo. Report and Annual Monitoring
Notice”, provided to 100% of the agencies funded. Based on indicators that the agency was
below 50% in Expenditures and/or Performance the agency provides written corrective action
and receives formal monitoring.
HOME Program Monitoring
City of Denton Community Development staff monitors compliance for all HUD programs. The
City requires quarterly and annual program and financial reports to facilitate monitoring.
CAPER 34
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The Denton Affordable Housing Corporation (DAHC), currently the City's only Community
Housing Development Organization (CHDO), is monitored annually and at other times as
needed. DAHC is recertified as a CHDO before the start of every project. DAHC is required to
submit quarterly financial, beneficiary reports, yearly audits, and HOME rental unit’s income
applications. City housing staff provides DAHC with technical assistance with HOME
construction projects and monitors the projects from start to finish. Technical assistance
included initial inspections, assisting with work write-ups, in-progress inspections,
reimbursements, and final inspection. CD staff completes an inspection of each unit with DAHC
staff present to ensure that the rehabilitation or new construction specifications include all
items required to bring the unit to the City of Denton building codes. Upon completion the unit
is inspected to confirm that all required items have been completed before the release of any
payment to DAHC,
The Denton Affordable Housing Corporation is monitored on an annual basis. DAHC was
monitored on May 19, 2021. Individual files were reviewed for compliance, annual inspections
on rental units, tenant leases on rental units, and other items related to HOME program
rehabilitation requirements. The City also reviewed fair housing compliance, reporting
requirements, policy items (records/retention, conflict of interest, nepotism, political activity
and lobbying, equal opportunity and nondiscrimination, procurement, separation of
duties/internal controls), bank reconciliations and its general ledger.
DAHC received recommendations for revisions or additions to their policies and procedures
that included: inspections of units and repairs, lease, income eligibility, annual income
recertification, and process for rent increases, reporting and record retention, fair housing, and
marketing. CITY also recommended a review of DAHC's current written policy and procedures
for tenant selection to help provide adequate tenant protections, tenant screening, and
approval/denials related to Fair Housing compliance. A recommendation was noted for the
system of checks and balances and segregation of duties.
Community Development staff reviewed all HOME Investment Partnership Program income
applications for HOME-assisted units. DAHC received a finding for not completing
recertification of income eligibility and annual income recertification required annually or once
every twelve (12) months period of assistance.
A monitoring concern was issued for Fair Housing Compliance. DAHC should maintain a list of
denied applicants and the reason for the denial. The information collected should include
ethnicity, household size, type of household, the reason for denial, and if they obtained other
housing. The list should be developed, maintained, and available to be reviewed at the next
monitoring visit.
Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home is monitored annually. Cumberland is also required
to submit quarterly financial and beneficiary reports. Finally, City staff completes an inspection
of each unit with Cumberland staff present to ensure that the rehabilitation or new
construction specifications meet building codes. Cumberland's annually monitoring was April
14, 2021. The City inspected four units, current tenant leases, Fair Housing compliance that
included affirmatively market units, tenant selection policy, and proof of pay tax payments.
Although no findings were noted, a concern regarding Annual Income Recertification and the
CAPER 35
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
use of HUD's Housing Qualify Standards Inspection Checklist were noted. Corrective actions
were recommended and accepted. Fairoaks provides quarterly tenant reports. These reports
include the income information for each of the tenants currently residing in the facility.
Fairoaks staff also provides information on the most recent tenant income evaluation dates and
the rent amount paid by each tenant. All tenants in the Fairhaven apartments receive a HUD
202 PRAC subsidy. In addition, annual independent audits are submitted for review by City CD
staff. Over the past year, CD has been working with the Fairoaks staff to complete a HOME
Investment Partnership Program project. As part of the project, Community Development has
visited and inspected the areas to be renovated and determined that no additional
improvements were necessary.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)

The city of Denton needs housing for persons that are 60+. Small duplex type at rates
considering most are on social security. Very limited in Denton sadly, or the waiting lists
are long and areas are not desirable. Why not build some in each new housing

91.320(j)
As more low-income households struggle to find affordable housing, preserving existing
housing is essential. Preservation supplements new developments, prevents displacement, is
generally cheaper than building new housing, and it conforms to existing land-use patterns.
During the 2020/21 PY, the City prioritized the use of its HOME funding for the preservation of
affordable housing that serves low- to moderate-income households.
The goal of preserving affordable housing is to allow homeowners and renters who might not
otherwise afford necessary repairs to maintain a safe and healthy living environment. The
Home Improvement Program, DAHC Rental Rehabilitation Program, and the Fairoaks Senior
Housing Project use HOME funding for preservation activities. The programs help low- to
moderate-income homeowners make much-needed repairs, enabling them to preserve and
prevent the displacement of low-income households who otherwise may struggle to keep their
homes in livable condition.
The Home Improvement Program accommodates households with ability changes and increase
comfort for households with declining abilities.
CAPER 41
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

year. Thirty (30) HVAC units were installed in rental units at the Fairoaks Senior Housing
complex. The Home Improvement Program assisted two (2) households. A total of forty (40)

Dear Ms. Hensley:
SUBJECT: Annual Community Assessment for the 2020 Program Year
HUD is required to conduct an annual review of performance by grant recipients
according to the provisions of the Housing and Community Development Act and the National
Affordable Housing Act. We must determine that each recipient is in compliance with the
statutes and has the continuing capacity to implement and administer the programs for which
assistance is received. This is to report the results of our review of the City’s performance
during the 2020 program year: 08/01/2020 – 09/30/2021.
Report
Our review is based on an evaluation of your consolidated planning process and progress
in carrying out the programs; the management of funds by the City and your subrecipients;
information provided in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
(CAPER), Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), and SAGE HMIS
Reporting Repository; results of on-site and remote monitoring; and your achievement of
program objectives.
We congratulate you on the City’s accomplishments during the 2020 program year and
your performance in the following areas:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Providing Suitable Living Environments. According to information provided in IDIS, the
City assisted 9,741 people via public facilities (including 93 via public facilities for abused and
neglected children; 163 via child care centers; and 9,485 via sidewalks); assisted 3,353 people
through the provision of public services (including 202 via services for victims of domestic
assault; 219 via child care services; and 2,932 via the provision of meals); provided rehabilitation
assistance to 29 households; and prevented, prepared for, and/or responded to coronavirus by
assisting 208 people through the provision of public services via subsistence payments as part of
a hotel voucher program.
Providing Decent Housing. According to information provided in IDIS, the City
provided homeownership assistance to 4 households; and assisted with the construction of 1
housing unit via the acquisition of a lot.
Primary Objective. According to the 2020 Action Plan, the City designated program year
2020 as the overall program benefit period. According to information provided in the CDBG
Financial Summary Report for Program Year 2020, the City expended 100 percent of its CDBG
funds for activities which principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, which is greater
than the 70 percent minimum standard for overall program benefit.
Timeliness. According to information provided in IDIS, the City is implementing its
program in a timely manner. The timeliness standard is that 60 days before the end of the
program year, a grantee must not have more than 1.5 program years of grant funds in its line of
credit. As of August 2, 2021, the City’s unadjusted and adjusted for program income line of
credit balances were both 1.44. This rate of progress assures that the benefits of the program are
reaching the intended beneficiaries within a reasonable period of time after grant approval.
Program Year Obligation Caps. According to information provided in the CDBG
Financial Summary Report for Program Year 2020, the amount of funds obligated for planning
and administration during the program year was 20.0 percent, which meets the 20 percent cap for
such activities; and the amount of funds obligated for public service activities during the program
year was 14.75 percent, which is below the 15 percent cap for such activities.
Origin Year Grant Expenditure Standard. The origin year grant expenditure standard is
that no more than 20 percent of any origin year grant shall be expended for planning and
administration costs. Funds from origin year grants 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015
were expended during the program year. According to information provided in the PR 26 CDBG
Activity Summary Report and the PR 07 Drawdown Report by Voucher Number for Grant Years
2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the amount of funds expended on planning and
administration was 19.21 percent (2020), 18.66 percent (2019), 17.97 percent (2018), 17.77
percent (2017), 18.99 percent (2016), and 19.17 percent (2015), which is below the 20 percent
planning and administration cap for each grant.
Primary Objective – CDBG-CV Grant. According to information provided in the CDBG-
CV Financial Summary Report, the City has thus far expended 100 percent of CDBG-CV drawn
funds for activities which principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, which meets
the 70 percent minimum standard for overall program benefit. It is noted that the City has thus
far spent 35.6 percent of its CDBG-CV grant and still has $956,080.86 available to draw.
Program Cap – CDBG-CV Grant. According to information provided in the CDBG-CV
Financial Summary Report, the amount of funds expended on planning and administration was 0
percent, which is below the 20 percent cap for such activities. It is noted that the City has thus far
spent 35.6 percent of its CDBG-CV grant and still has $956,080.86 available to draw.
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
Providing Affordable Housing. According to information provided in IDIS, the City
assisted 30 elderly persons through rehabilitation of senior housing; provided 5 households
with homebuyer assistance through acquisition; and provided home improvements through
rehabilitation assistance to 3 households.
Program Caps. According to information provided in IDIS, the amount of 2020 grant
funds disbursed for administration and planning costs was 0 percent, which is below the 10
percent cap for such activities.
Areas Needing Improvement and Recommendations
We provide the following comments for your consideration as you continue to improve
performance, develop and refine your Consolidated Planning process, and carry out your programs.
CDBG-CV Program – Timeliness and Period of Performance. The City is reminded that, per
FR-6218-N-01, grantees must expend all CDBG-CV funds within the 6-year period of performance
established in its CDBG-CV grant agreement. Additionally, grantees must expend at least 80 percent
of all CDBG-CV funds no later than the end of the third year of the period of performance established
by the CDBG-CV grant agreement. According to our records. the period of performance began on
the date HUD signed the agreement, which is February 18, 2021. The City should review the date on
its grant agreement with HUD to confirm when its CDBG-CV period of performance began. It is
noted that, per FR-6218-N-01, HUD may grant an extension to this deadline; as such, the City should
continue to work with the Field Office to implement its program.
CDBG-CV Program – Training and Policy Guidance. The City is encouraged to review the
policy guidance and materials available in the CDBG-CV Toolkit as it considers eligible activities,
the “prepare for, prevent, and respond to coronavirus” (PPR) tieback, and other program
requirements.
HUD Training. The City should be aware that HUD training for grantees is provided during
the fiscal year. Courses often available include CDBG and HOME grants, as well as tools and
resources to assist grantees in implementing CARES Act and American Rescue Plan grants. You may
contact this office for information on which courses are currently available.
Conclusion
As a result of our evaluation, we have determined that the City has carried out its programs
substantially as described in its Consolidated Plan; the Consolidated Plan as implemented complies
with the requirements of the Housing and Community Development Act and other applicable laws
and regulations; and the City has the continuing capacity to carry out its approved programs in a
timely manner.
We are providing the City with 30 days from the date of this letter to comment on this report.
Should the City wish to comment or request changes to it we will take them into consideration and
provide a written response. If no comments are received within the period allowed, then this report
will be considered to be in final form. Once it is in final form, it will be made available to the public
upon request.
Public Access
This report is intended to be shared with the public. You may provide copies to interested
persons such as the news media, members of local advisory committees, and citizens attending public
hearings. We request that you provide a copy of this letter to the Independent Public Accountant who
performs the single audit of the city in accordance with 2 CFR part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.
If you have any questions about this report, please contact Matthew Toland, CPD
Representative, at (817) 978-5934 or Matthew.J.Toland@hud.gov.
Sincerely,
Shirley J. Henley
Director
