GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES AND LOCATION OF EXPENDITURES

All projects were undertaken in eligible areas or were the benefit was principally to low and moderate

income persons. No distribution of funds was based on race need, due to the fact that no racial or

ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs

of that category as a whole although most of the funds are targeted to low income areas. The

geographic distribution of most activities is related to the nature of the benefit they are designed to

have.

LOCATION OF HOPWA PROJECTS

Funds for HOPWA projects were awarded to eligible entities and Municipalities through a competitive

funding process. All HOPWA project sponsors for activities in the metropolitan area are selected through

a competitive process which is coordinated by a committee designated by the Director of Housing of the

Municipality of San Juan. Notices of funding availability are sent to all agencies that have applied for

HOPWA funds in the past and to any other interested agency that provide services to people with AIDS

in the metropolitan area. The HOPWA application and review process ensures that all project sponsors

are eligible along with their proposed activities. Tenant based rental assistance funds are assigned to

municipalities taking into consideration the need, the fiscal and administrative history, waiting list, and

past performance. Due to the characteristics of the HOPWA program funds were distributed to all

eligible municipalities and sub grantees in the EMA area. The HOPWA section of the CAPER include

maps of the specific location were funds were disbursed.

LOCATION OF ESG PROJECT

The ESG Funds were used to support La Casa de Nuestra Gente, a homeless shelter located in Muñoz

Rivera Avenue #875.

The Project is located in Census Tract 6600.02 an area were 69.89% of its population is considered low

income.

LOCATION OF HOME PROJECTS

During this program year HOME funds were distributed among eligible projects. The following table

Chalets de Landrau Sector Monacillos 00820.21

San Miguel II Villa Prades 00510.35

Igualdad Court II Santuce 00250.02

SELF EVALUATION

We believe that the City complied with most of the goals established in the Action Plan 2009-2010. The

accomplishment in producing affordable housing with HOME and CDBG funds during the reporting

period was also significant. Procedural changes and new approaches were adopted in order to make the

program more attractive to the private sector, without losing perspective of its basic objectives and

futures years.

Most activities were completed or initiated and will be completed during the current year. There were

other areas in which performance exceeded the projection and the expectations such as supportive

services to persons with low income.

The HUD level of funding for the community development programs has decreased during the past

years; the City has been able to increase its revenues in order to cope with the ever increasing demand

of citizens for more and better services.

SELF EVALUATION OF THE CBDG PROGRAM

We understand that the use of CDBG funds by the City of San Juan had an impact on the identified need

included in the Consolidated Plan.

Process used in the development of the consolidated plan

Between January and April 2011, the CDBG office and the Interagency Committee held multiple

meetings to consult with stakeholders, citizens, and review new data and comments from interested

parties in order to prepare the Consolidated Plan.

Summary of the Citizen Participation Process

During the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the Citizen the Participation Plan was revised and

implemented in accordance with Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as

amended, and Title 24, Section 91.105, of the Code of Federal Regulations. Implementation of this Plan

enabled the connection between the Municipality, for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and

individual citizens, deemed crucial to the development of an appropriate and successful Consolidated

Plan. The following section of the Citizen Participant Plan was revised:

Document Retention Policy

Identification of Agencies to be Consulted during Consolidated Plan Preparation

The Municipal Government posted a Notice of Public Hearing on February 1, 2011 edition of El Vocero (a

newspaper of Island-wide circulation), inviting the public to attend the public hearings. Two public

hearings were held. Both meeting were held on February 15, 2011, at the Gualberto Rabel Integrated

Services Center, in Santurce. As established in the published agenda the first meeting began at 10:00

a.m. and the second at 2:00 in the afternoon. To facilitate public participation there were a translator

and a sign language interpreter present. The meetings were attended by 52 individuals, who were

provided with questionnaires for the identification of needs particular to the population served by their

organizations. This was followed by a presentation of the Consolidated Plan process, including:

objectives; description of the Plan, the planning process and its integration; the community consultation

process; identification of needs; design of strategies; and the Action Plan. The consultation process was

explained further, to include the legal framework, objectives, and the following beneficiaries of

participating programs: persons with low and moderate income, elderly persons, persons with physical

and mental disabilities, homeless persons, and persons with HIV/AIDS. The Community Development


24

Block Grant program, its national objectives, and eligible activities were presented to attendees. Also

presented were the HOME, ESG and HOPWA programs. The RFP of each program was explained and

copies of the proposal guides were distributed. Copy of the presentation used during the meeting is

included in the appendix section of the plan. All the comments received during the public hearing were

addressed directly during the meeting. A list of the comments received during the hearings is included

in the appendix section.

The Interagency Committee held a meeting to discuss and evaluate the needs that had been identified

during the consultation process. The results of this meeting led to the establishment of priorities and

activities to be included in the Action Plan. The process of planning was completed in this meeting, with

the delineation of the planning process and the establishment of a methodology.

A committee was established for the evaluation of the CDBG proposals presented by non profit and

municipal agencies. On March 2011 this Committee held a meeting to evaluate the proposals presented

by the community. Proposals were evaluated for compliance and rated according to the requirements

and thresholds established by the guidelines. The proposals selected for funding are included in the

2011 action plan.

On April 13, 2011 the Municipality informed the citizen of the availability of the draft plan. The public

notice was published on El Vocero, a newspaper of general circulation.

Public Comments

The City received comments from different agencies regarding the needs of the communities.

Information and comments presented by the agencies were incorporated into the consolidated Plan.

The appendix section of this document includes copies of these letters from consulted agencies and

entities and the comments received from citizens.

Efforts made to broaden public participation

The purpose of the Citizen Participation Plan of the Municipality of San Juan is to promote the

participation of citizens in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, including its implementation,

substantial amendments and Annual Performance Report.


25

This has been achieved mainly through the notices in general circulation newspapers 15 days prior to

the hearings. In addition, the Municipality has an Interdepartmental Committee composed by

representatives from the different municipal departments that assist by promoting the activities of this

program among the different offices and departments. An all-out effort was made to advertise all of the

public hearings. A certified American Sign Language Interpreter was made available to increase

participation of deaf persons.

San Juan provided information to citizens, public agencies and other interested parties, including those

most affected, on the submission of the Consolidated Plan including grant amounts, proposed projects,

program income and the estimated amount of funds that will benefit low- and moderate-income

persons. In addition the public was encouraged to review all Plan information and submit its comments

to the City.

distribution of the HOPWA State funds for Puerto Rico.

CDBG Funds

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of

1974 created the Community Development Block Grant funding program. It is allocated primarily

through the entitlement communities, and state and small cities programs. The City of San Juan as an

entitlement community receives CDBG funds directly. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to

develop viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and suitable living environment and

expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate income. All CDBG

projects and activities must meet one of three national objectives: Principally benefit low-and-

moderate income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet other urgent

community needs. CDBG funds are the principal resource of funding available to implement the

Community Development strategy.

The estimated CDBG allocation for program year 2011 total $9,327,388. These funds will be used for the

administration of the program, for a payment of the 108 loan and to fund 12 projects (activities). The

projects included in the plan will be undertaken by the Municipality and by Non Profit Organizations.

Based on the proposal presented and the available funds the City distributed the funds in Public

Services, Economic Development, Housing, and other public works.

The following chart shows the distribution of the CDBG funds by category of the activity (including

administration and Section 108):


29

Figure 2: CDBG 2011 Distribution

In addition to the regular CDBG funds the City will have available a total of $1,926,269.82 from the

CDBG-R program. The funds were allocated to the City School of Sports. The project is underway thus

the funds are considered to be available during program year 2011.

Home Program

HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME) The HOME Investment Partnership Act is authorized

under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA). HOME is a formula-

based program intended to support a wide variety of state and local affordable housing programs. The

purpose of the program is to enable grantees to undertake activities and adopt policies aimed at

expanding the supply of affordable housing and increasing the number of families who can be served

with affordable housing.

For 2011, the City will be allocated with $4,985,441 to the HOME program. HOME program funds will

support the production of affordable housing for low income families. The HOME program division

allocated the funds for rehabilitation and new construction of housing by developers, rehabilitation by

HOPWA Program

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program was established by the AIDS

Housing Opportunity Act of 1990, and revised under the Housing and Community Development Act of

1992. The HOPWA program provides states and localities with resources and incentives to devise long-

term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of low-income persons with acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or related diseases and their families. This program authorizes

entitlement grants and competitively awarded grants for housing assistance and services. Pursuant to

federal regulations implementing the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act of 1990, the City of San Juan (City),

as the municipality with the largest population, serves as the grantee for HOPWA funds, on behalf of the

San Juan EMSA. To attend the need of this population the City works with all levels of government,

service providers, consumers and the private sector in developing resources and services, particularly

housing and social services for persons living with HIV/AIDS. For FY 2011-2012, the HOPWA program

will receive $6,312,892. The allocation will be used for transitional housing and supporting services

provided for an estimated of 450 persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, to provide rental housing

certificates to 725 eligible persons and their families, to provide emergency assistance to 110 HIV/AIDS

persons and their families and for administration costs. The following chart shows the HOPWA program

distribution.

Figure 4: HOPWA Funds Distribution

In addition to the regular allocation for program year 2011, the City of San Juan will receive a total of

$1,806,368 from the State HOPWA program.

ESG Program

The Emergency Shelter Grant program is funded under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance

Act. Funding from the program is established on a formula basis equal to the percentages allocated to

that of the CDBG program for states, metropolitan cities, and urban counties. The purpose of the ESG

program is to provide assistance necessary to bring buildings into a suitable condition so they may be

used as emergency shelters for homeless persons, to develop and implement homeless prevention


32

activities, to provide certain essential services for homeless persons and to maintain and operate

shelters.

As a grantee for the ESG funds the City of San Juan will use the ESG funds to fund Casa Nuestra Gente. A

total of $629,766 will be used for the operating cost of the City’s shelter for the homeless known as Casa

Nuestra Gente that provides different services to the homeless population of San Juan. This shelter

provides transitional housing to 400 males, as well as year-round ambulatory services to over 1,800

persons.

It is the policy of the City to allocate all the ESG funds to this shelter because it is the largest project of

its type, serves the largest population, and there are other funding available for services under other

CPD and CoC programs. ESG funds will be distributed in the following categories:

Service Category Allocation Percentage

Essential Services $188,929.80 30%

Operational Staff $62,976.60 10%

Operating Cost Shelter $346,371.30 55%

Administration $31,488.30 5%

Total $629,766.00

Program Income

During this program year the Municipality anticipates program income from the proceeds of loan

awarded by COFECC. At this time the amount of program income to be received is not available. If any

program income is received from activities funded with CDBG they will be used for eligible activities of

the program.


33

Matching Requirements

HOME program

The City of San Juan HOME Program is exempt from the matching requirement.

ESG Program

The ESG Program requires a matching of 100%. This requirement will be satisfied with $423,007

in kind contributions and local cash contribution to cover matching as required by the

regulation. In addition the City of San Juan Allocates a total of $2,054,099, from local funds, for

homeless activities to complement the ESG funds allocated.

Leverage

The investment of the $22,578,140.10 received under the Consolidated Plan will be leveraged in

combination with other federal and local resources to address the program goals, priority needs and

specific objectives described in this Plan.

These projects will be complemented with more than $700 million from other federal funds and local

funds. Additional funds description is included in the appendix section of this plan.

The HOME projects will be complemented with an estimated of $3,500,000 from private sources.

Low Income Housing Tax Credits

The City does not intend to use Housing Low Income Housing Tax Credits during program year 2011-

2012. To promote the development of affordable rental housing the City will support application by

private developments.

Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Housing Choice Voucher Program (sometimes referred to as “Section 8” after the section of the U.S.

Housing Act that authorized it) is the largest federal low-income housing assistance program. Families

who are awarded vouchers use them to help pay the cost of renting housing on the open market.

Because vouchers are provided to particular tenants to live where they choose, they are often referred

to as “tenant-based” assistance. Vouchers can also be used to help families buy homes. The City of San


34

Juan is a Housing Authority that operates a local voucher program. For program year 2011-2012 the

allocation for the Housing Choice voucher is expected to be $22,709,002. The following table shows the

resources to be available for the provision of TBRA and Project Based Rental Assistance:

PROGRAM AMOUNT

Vouchers $ 22,709,002.00

Rehab. Mod. I $ 1,053,087.00

Other Resources to address the needs of Homeless Individuals and Families, and person that are

Chronically Homeless.

The number of chronic homeless persons and their housing conditions is of high priority for the City of

San Juan’s administration. The City’s public policy regarding the homeless includes the development of

housing and income earning opportunities for the homeless, and encourages a more sensitive approach

when dealing with issues concerning the homeless and specifically the chronic homeless. In addition a

lot of resources are allocated to address the need of this population. The following table includes the

resources available to serve this population:

CDBG Activity # 8- Entrepreneur Development Center

The Centro de Desarrollo Empresarial - CDE, is a nonprofit division of the Economic Development

Department of the Municipality of San Juan. The purpose of the Center is to promote the creation

and/or retention of jobs and to promote economic development in San Juan. The objective of the

program is to generate and promote economic activity with the creation of more and better

employments to improve the quality of life in the community specifically for the low and moderate

income people of San Juan.

CDE is a Services Center that supports the entrepreneurial community of San Juan. Among the services

offered are the following: Interest Subsidy Program; Grants for micro enterprises; Tax Incentive

Program; Entrepreneur Capacitating Program; Business Advisory Program in Finance, Accounting; Legal

and Marketing; Business Alliance with the private sector and other government agencies; and

Participation on Business Activities. The program operates with combined funds.

Since its beginnings in 2001, the Center has created and retained approximately 3,282 jobs and the

promotion of over 540 small businesses. CDE has continued to experience an increased demand for the

services it offers within the small business areas of San Juan and with individuals with new business

initiatives. The current economic crisis that the country is experiencing has made the Center the only

alternative available for the small businesses owners to keep their operations and employments running

and for the low and moderate income citizens to be able to achieve their new business ventures and

become self-employed.

The Center’s main goal with the grants program for micro-enterprises is to create or retain 12 non

CDBG Activity # 9- CODEVISA

Corporación para el Desarrollo Empresarial y Cultural de la Isleta de San Juan (CODEVISA,CD) is a non-

profit corporation created within the General Corporation Laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It

was created at the end of the year 1985 and is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 12

members including a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Its members represent

different sectors of the community such as commercial, residential, government and public interest.

The Corporation promotes the economic, cultural, touristic and social development of the San Juan Islet.

On March 1999, CODEVISA became a Special Corporation, under the Autonomous Municipalities of the

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Law. The purpose of the Corporation is to reduce the burdens of the

Government by promoting social welfare and economic development in the Islet and its environments.

During this program year funds will be provided to CODEVISA as a CBDO. It is our understanding that

CODEVISA qualifies as an eligible CBDO in compliance with CDBG regulations. Before executing the

grant agreement the organization will be certified as a CBDO. CBDO eligibility will be maintained on file

evidencing compliance with the regulation.

In order to achieve its purposes during the year 2011-12, the Corporation will: Provide free

transportation to residents, private and government employees, local and international visitors in the

San Juan Islet.

CODEVISA will provide qualified licensed drivers and keep a record on the necessary vehicle inspections

as required by state and federal laws. It also designs and maintains complete and accurate records of


52

the trolleys, including information on the maintenance, inspections, repairs, use, and accidents.

CODEVISA,CD will retain sixteen (16) job, out of which nine (9) will be held by low income persons.

In addition CODEVISA will continue the implementation of the following activities:

Offer free transportation twelve (12) hours a day, seven (7) days a week in the area of Old San

Juan, covering three (3) routes: Casa Alcaldia, El Morro and San Cristobal forts, Puerto Rico

Capitol building, with a seven (7) vehicle fleet.

Celebrate the Old San Juan SOFO Culinary Fest twice a year. More than 38 restaurants

throughout the historic district take part in the Old San Juan Culinary Fest. A number of streets

are closed to traffic and tables are set up to create a giant open-air café atmosphere and the

chefs of the surrounding restaurants pull all stops to make sure the food is extraordinary.

Visitors choose from an array of appetizers, entries, drinks and desserts. In addition, musical and

dance groups perform at various stages set up throughout Old San Juan, and strolling musicians

serenade with traditional island music. There are tastings and exhibitions by both master and

future chefs.

Promote Outside Café's - The intent of this program is to increase jobs opportunities and

restaurant's sales while enhancing the streetscape and festive air to downtown activities.

CODEVISA is the administrator of this program in accordance with the Municipality of San Juan

regulations. (Attachment #3)

Old San Juan Street Beautification Project – Maintenance of San Justo and Norzagaray Streets in

alliance with Old San Juan Business Owners.

CODEVISA's activities will benefit more than three hundred (300) businesses within the Islet of San Juan;

helping to maintain the employment of over approximately two thousand workers (2,000). Most of this

workforce is mainly low- and moderate-income persons. Businesses in the area are restaurants, retail,

art galleries, souvenirs shops, small hotels, and artisans among others.

The trolley transportation system in the Islet of San Juan benefits over eight hundred eighty thousand

persons (880,000) a year. It is used by residents, employees and visitors alike. Having a safe and reliable

public transportation system gives all members of the community access to shopping, schools, medical

appointments, recreation, museums and more. Besides economics and accessibility benefits, it's also

good for the environment. The trolley system will reduce the number of private autos, cabs and shuttle

buses needed to move over 1 million visitors. Old San Juan is the Caribbean's number one embarkation

point for cruise ships, with over 1.3 million cruise passengers; cruise ships docks right at the edge of the


53

Old City. The City has recently evaluated the restriction and elimination traffic into the historic city. As

part of that draft study, the trolley system would be the only transportation allowed. Therefore, the

demand for public transportation is likely to increase dramatically

To demonstrate compliance with the CDBO requirements we prepared the following table in which we

indicate the requirements established by 24 CFR 570.204 and how CODEVISA complies:

Activities of the HOPWA program

San Juan distributes funds annually based on the cumulative number of reported living HN and AIDS

cases in the San Juan EMSA. HUD's HOPWA allocation is based on each area's proportionate share of

the cumulative number of living HIV and AIDS cases. HOPWA funding provides housing assistance and

related supportive services and grantees are encouraged to develop community-wide strategies and

form partnerships with area nonprofit organizations. HOPWA funds may be used for a wide range of

housing, social services, program planning, and development costs. These include, but are not limited

to, the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of housing units; costs for facility operations;

rental assistance; and short-term payments to prevent homelessness. HOPWA funds also may be used

for health care and mental health services, chemical dependency treatment, nutritional services, case

management, assistance with daily living, and other supportive services.

The following is the description of the activities to be undertaken during program year 2011. Although

all activities are expected to be undertaken during the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, if necessary

the funds will be carried over the next program year. The following table shows the proposed HOPWA

ESG Activity # 1- Casa Nuestra Gente

"La Casa de Nuestra Gente" is an active member of the Continuum of Care. This is a collaborative

coalition composed of more than 44 community base organizations and others in San Juan, that have

joined efforts to benefit this population and to look for fair, real and proactive solutions. Each agency

cooperates to integrate joint efforts and resources including housing services, income entrance,

hygiene, health, social and educational services. This coalition serves a population around 6,000

homeless in San Juan

The Program for the Homeless People, through "La Casa de Nuestra Gente", have several strategies of

services to assist the problems that present the ambulatory participants as those sheltered. Since1988,

it offers to the homeless population services such as: shelter, transportation, emergency services, hot

meals, breakfasts and dinners, purchase of foods, clothing, facilities for their personal hygiene, laundry,

activities of passive recreation and educational chats, medical and nursing services, among others. The

following are the different components of Casa Nuestra Gente:

La Casa Nuestra Gente (Transitional Housing for Women with Children)- It provides shelter to

women without homes with their children. Through this shelter, the physical, emotional and

social needs of the women individually attended. The project promotes economic

independence of the women through social, psychologists, tutoring, and employment ability

services provided by social workers, nurses, doctors, psychiatrists, nutritionists, and assistive

personnel. Transportation, recreational and educational activities, among other services also

provided. It has the capacity to place eight mothers with their children (32 beds).


73

La Casa Nuestra Gente (Transitional Housing "Safe Haven") The Safe Haven project constitutes a

service directed towards the homeless population with mental health problems. This center has

a multidisciplinary team 24 hours a day, whose purpose is to provide the necessary services for

the participants to control their health condition. It has all the assistance services of social

workers, nurses, doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, assistive personnel, nutrition services

(breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack), independent living skills, educational activities, recreational

therapy, among other. This project has the capacity to place 12 persons in semi-private

Centro de Acogida (Acceptance Center)- The Acceptance Center offers residential treatment

services (Post-Detox) for the homeless person with mental health disorders, (among these use

and abuse of controlled substances and/or alcohol). The Center offers services 7 days a week,

24 hours a day for a maximum of a year. The purpose is to offer prevention services, as well as

psychosocial treatment for the homeless population.

The served population confronts severe problems of chronic homelessness, alcohol and or drug

dependence, risk of getting HIV/AIDS and other diseases related to such like Hepatitis A, B or C

among others. The center has established a continuous care model among the components that

provide recuperation services for the homeless people.

At the residence, specialized treatment is provided by multidisciplinary teams, which prepare an

individual intervention plan for each client based upon the nature and severity of his condition.

This plan takes a year of follow-up, covering individual and family aspects by using a therapeutic

community focus, and by preventing a relapse.

The capacity of the Center is of 72 beds (60 male, 12 females). The participants receive case

management services by social workers; Psychologists, psychiatrists, and nurses provide

physical and mental services. Recreational services, occupational therapy, socio-educational

activities, food services (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), and transportation are also provided.

Performance Measures

The Municipality anticipates that each project or activity funded by the HOME, CDBG, and ESG programs

will fall under one of the three objectives, which relate back to the statutory purposes of the programs:

Creating a Suitable Living Environment: In general, this objective relates to activities that are

designed to benefit communities, families or individuals by addressing issue in their living

environment. It relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by

LMI persons from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality infrastructure,

to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services.

Providing Decent Housing: The activities that typically would be found under this objective are

designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG, HOME or ESG. This objective

focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or

community needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort, since they

would be more appropriately reported under "Creating a Suitable Living Environment".

Creating Economic Opportunities: This objective applies to types of activities related to

economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.

For each objective selected for a specific project, one of three outcome categories that best reflect what

is expected to be achieved by funding that activity will be chosen. The three outcome categories are:


80

Improving Availability or Accessibility: This outcome category applies to activities that make

services, infrastructure, public services, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and

moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does

not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living

available and accessible (i.e., increased access to various services, housing units, or facilities) to

low- and moderate-income people where they live. Note: Where a service or facility did not

exist, the assistance provided results in "new" access to that service or facility. Where a service

or facility was limited in size or capacity, and the assistance expanded the existing service or

facility, the result would be improved access.

Improving Affordability: This outcome category applies to activities that provide affordability in

a variety of ways in the lives of low- and moderate-income people. It can include creating or

maintaining affordable housing, basic infrastructure hookups, or services such as transportation

or daycare.

Improving Sustainability: This outcome applies to projects where the activity or activities are

aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by

providing benefit to persons of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums

or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or

neighborhoods.

In the context of HUD's framework, sustainability is specifically tied to activities that are meant to

ensure that a particular geographic area as a whole (neighborhood, downtown, etc) remains viable. It is

targeted at supporting a specific physical location. Availability is related to making services,

infrastructure, housing, or shelter available or accessible to individual residents/beneficiaries.

The three objectives are combined with the three outcome categories to come up with a matrix of nine

outcome statements (see the Outcome Statement Matrix, following).

Outcome 2: Affordability

Outcome 3: Sustainability

Geographic Distribution of Funds

Description of Areas

All of the activities included in the 2011 Action Plan are allocated geographically to meet the needs of

the low income residents. As required by the regulation most of the activities and initiatives are

targeted in census tracts that have high percentages of low and moderate-income population or need.

The City certifies that 100% of the activities will benefit low income persons and will be used in areas of

minority concentration.

Maps showing the geographic areas of San Juan where CPD funds will be allocated are included in the

following pages.


85


86

The following table shows were the projects are located (block groups) and the percentage of low and

moderate income persons:

PROJECT BLOCK GROUP

LMI %

Crece y Ama 003501.2 95.66

Codevisa 000500.2 47.51*

Hogar Santa María de Los Angeles 010002.1 13.01**

Concilio Comunidad Llorens Torres 001300.3 92.466 *Although this activity is located in an area that is not predominately low income the combine service area

LMI % is 57%.

** Although this activity is located in an area that is not predominately low income 100% of the population

is low income

By directing significant assistance to those areas found to be the most economically and physically

distressed in the City, San Juan will greatly increase the measurable and effective impact of these federal

dollars by enhancing the quality of life in its most blighted neighborhoods.

No distribution of funds was based on race need, due to the fact that no racial or ethnic group has a

disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs of that category as

a whole although most of the funds are targeted to low income areas.

ESG funds will be allocated to Casa NuestraGente. This facility is located in Census Tract 06600.2 with a

69.89% of low income persons. The area where the facility is located has a high incidence of homeless

persons.

The allocation of CDBG funds is based on a competitive process that considers the need of the citizens as

presented in the public hearings and the priorities established by the Municipality. As demonstrated in

the previous table and map the funds are allocated were most needed.

Priority will be given to HOME projects located in predominantly low and moderate income areas.


87

Rationale for allocating investment HOPWA funds

Funds for HOPWA projects are awarded to eligible entities and Municipalities through a competitive

funding process. All HOPWA project sponsors for activities in the metropolitan area are selected

through a competitive process which is coordinated by a committee designated by the Director of

Housing of the Municipality of San Juan. Notices of funding availability are sent to all agencies that have

applied for HOPWA funds in the past and to any other interested agency that provide services to people

with AIDS in the metropolitan area. The HOPWA application and review process ensures that all project

sponsors are eligible along with their proposed activities. Tenant based rental assistance funds are

assigned to municipalities taking into consideration the need, the fiscal and administrative history,

waiting list, and past performance.

Copies of the application and selection factors are included in the appendix section of this document.

Actions to be taken during 2011 to address obstacle to meet underserved needs

The primary obstacle to meeting the underserved needs in the City is the lack of available funding to the

Municipality and to the various non-profit agencies the partners with in serving the low and moderate-

income residents of San Juan. As entitlement grants shrink or remain level-funded the cost of delivering

services and completing projects increases, creating, in the recent past and present, an ever widening

spread of cost and available funds. Mirroring this trend is the increasing difficulty in leveraging funds

through municipal and private resources, also decreasing or stagnant in recent times. Other obstacles

and actions to remove them are included in the following table:

OBSTACLE ACTION TO REMOVE OBSTACLE

Funding Availability-Absence or lack of sufficient funds to provide or sustain services

Public Housing

Actions to address the need of the public housing residents

The City administration is committed to the Public Housing residents and will continue to provide

essential services needed. The City government has historically provided the majority of basic public

services to residents of Public Housing. To maximize and expedite the rendering of services, the City has

created the San Juan Integra Center. This is a One-Stop service center that coordinates the various

direct and indirect services provided by Municipal Departments and Offices to residents of all public

housing projects located within the Municipality. In most cases services are provided on the premises of

public housing developments, or at least in locations immediately accessible to residents of public

housing.

administration, community development, grievance and panel hearings, and in all phases of project

administration.


93

Although the public housing projects receives funding for their improvement the Municipality has been

working with the state legislature to allocate additional funding undertake works not included in the

modernization funding. The City of San Juan encourages, wherever feasible, home ownership

Homeless and Other Special Population Activities The City of San Juan has long history of community-wide, collaborative work in providing a range

of homeless housing and services in Puerto Rico. These efforts have grown into a Continuum of

Care system with all of its components, including prevention, emergency shelter, transitional

housing, permanent affordable and permanent supportive housing, supportive services at each

stage, specialized programs and outreach for each homeless subpopulation (HIV, mental health,

homosexual, women, transgender, among others), and integration with “mainstream” programs.

During program year the Municipality will continue its leadership in addressing the need of the

homeless persons and other special population by undertaking the following activities:

Homeless Prevention


96

Homelessness is a problem that can affect all sectors of the society. The basic strategy to reduce and

address chronic homelessness is to prevent its occurrence. Unfortunately, more persons continue

to fall into homelessness every day. There is not a “one size fits all” solution for the chronic

homeless persons. The prevention efforts to be implemented as a result of this plan are oriented

to match the level and type of services to the distinct needs of the population experiencing or at-

risk of homelessness. Three distinctions can be made: 1: Youth at risk, 2: Persons who face

short-term, unanticipated hardship that leads to homelessness, and 3: Persons who have long -

term disabilities or chronic health issues that require ongoing support to maintain stability and a

productive life.

Prevention efforts are the most cost-effective way to reduce the number of persons that will

become homeless and eventually chronic homeless. Homelessness is not an isolated issue a nd in

most of the occasions is accompanied by other multiple problems and conditions. Thus, the costs

associated to provide housing and to address the damages caused by the experience of

homelessness are much higher than the costs of simply preventing its occurrence.

Puerto Rico does not have a discharge policy that prohibit publicly funded institutions releasing

persons into homelessness As the stock of permanent supportive housing increases, the need to

discharge into short-term shelters or into homelessness will be decreased and eventually

eliminated. In actually, the emergency shelter system is one of the institutions most likely to

release persons into homelessness. Other publicly funded institutions known to release persons

into homelessness include jails, prisons, hospitals and mental health and alcohol and drug

treatment centers.

The main source of funds to be available during program year 2011 will be the Homelessness

Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program. For program year 2011 the Municipality will have a

total of $1,693,616 for prevention and rapid rehousing. As a public policy for the implementation

of the HPRP the mayor determined that the program will be administered and implemented by

the City Offices and Departments. Specifically the following structure is used:


97

The offices and departments identified in the previous chart will undertake action consistent with the

HPRP notice. The actions to be taken are divided by major activities as identified in the following

paragraphs.

OUTREACH AND INITIAL INTAKE- The initial intake and outreach will be shared by the Office of Citizen Affairs

(Homeless Prevention) and by the Department of the Family and Community (Rapid Re-housing). The Citizen

Affairs office will provide economic assistance to individuals and families who are currently in housing but are

at risk of becoming homeless and need temporary rent or utility assistance to prevent them from becoming

homeless or assistance to move to another unit (prevention).

The Family and Community Department will provide assistance to individuals and families who are

experiencing homelessness (residing in emergency or transitional shelters, mental facilities, jail, on the street,

etc.) and need temporary assistance in order to obtain housing and retain it (rapid re-housing). The

population to be served includes:

Individuals and/or families with or without children that are homeless and live in

emergency shelters. When individuals that reside at the emergency shelters La Casa de

NuestraGente and the Centro de Acogida, meet the time limit of the shelter, or

transitional housing they are moved towards permanent housing. If permanent housing

is not available at the time of discharge, the individuals will be relocated in a hotel for a

maximum period of 30 days while housing is available for them.

Families that request emergency shelter and there is no space available. If there is no

adequate space at shelters for individuals, such will be evaluated by a social worker

whom will determine the eligibility of the individual to receive the voucher of payment

for the hotel for up to 30 days.

Participants that have found a house for rent but such are not immediately available for

the participant to move in. The participants will be placed in a hotel for a maximum

period of 30 days as long as the housing is available before such 30 days expire. Once

the participants are placed in a hotel such will be referred to the Municipal Department

of Housing.

Individuals that are referred to a shelter where there is a waiting list for the availability

of beds and there is no space available will be placed in a hotel for up to 30 days. Before

the 30 days are over, the homeless person will be placed at La Casa de NuestraGente or

at the Centro de Acogida. They will be referred to the Municipal Department of Housing

to coordinate placement in permanent housing.

Ex-convicts. The social worker assigned to Programa Mano Amiga, in coordination with

the pre-discharge office of the Correction Administration, will serve as a link to identify

convicts that will be released out of jail, that are without housing, and therefore have no

place to go once out of jail, including the lack of emergency shelter availability. The

social worker is in charge of coordinating the placement of this person in a hotel. Once

placed in a hotel, such will immediately be referred to the Department of Housing for a

rapid re-housing evaluation such that once the 30 day period at the hotel has covered,

the individual be placed in a hosing for a period ranging for up to 18 months.

Individuals with Mental Health problems, HIV, or addiction to illegal substances. Persons

without housing that are under these conditions need assistance to pay the security

deposit. They will be offered the payment of the security deposit for water and

electricity utilities in order for them to be placed in permanent hosing. Pre -qualified


99

cases will be referred to the Municipal Department of Housing to complete the location

and evaluation process.

Individuals and families that graduate from transitional housing. The social worker will

evaluate the case according to the Program criteria and will refer the case to the

Municipal Housing Deparment for evaluation and placement in housing for a period of

time ranging from 1 to 18 months. Assistance may be offered to search for housing in

the community that meets all of HUD’s requirements, and case management.

Individuals and families that have lost their housing due to disasters such as floods and

fires. Persons that have completely lost their housing due to fires or floods and become

homeless can be placed in hotel or rapid housing. These families or individuals will be

identified through the Emergency Management Department of the Municipality, which

will certify the condition. The social worker of the Department of Family and Community

will work on the placement of the person in an emergency hotel for a period of up to 30

days, and will refer such case to the Municipal Housing Department.

Homeless veterans. The Department of Family and Community, through its Veteran’s

Affairs office, in coordination with the Veteran’s Hospital will offer re -lodging services to

homeless veterans that will be discharged from a hospital in two weeks. They may be

placed in a hotel for up to 30 days. Such will be referred to the Municipal Department of

Housing for evaluation for housing.

Domestic Violence Victims. Women and or other families that are victims of domestic

violence that seek lodging services at the La Casa de NuestraGente Program, will be

placed in a hotel, for up to 30 days, after all reasonable arrangements that have been

carried out to place such in housing have failed. During their stay at a hotel the families

or individuals will be referred to the Department of Housing of the Municipality for

evaluation, they will be provided with case management in order to be relocated in an

emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence before the 30 days expire.

ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION, HOUSING RELOCATION AND STABILIZATION SERVICES- The

Housing Department through its Housing Choice Voucher Program will undertake the eligibility

determination, housing relocation and stabilization services of the Homeless Prevention

Program.

The staff of this program has experience managing rentals and emergency assistance programs

similar to the HPRP. This will allow the proper administration and undertaking of the rental

component of the HPRP to be administered by the City.


100

The Department of the Family and Community will be responsible of serving the individuals and

families who are experiencing homelessness (residing in emergency or transitional shelters,

mental facilities, jail, on the street, etc.).

ADMINISTRATION AND MONITORING- The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) office

is responsible for the preparation of the City of San Juan’s Consolidated Plan. This office will be

responsible for the administration of the HPRP grant, the preparation of the Action Plan

Amendment. This office though the tutelage of a private consultant will be responsible for the

monitoring and oversight of the activity.

HMIS/REPORTING- Reporting and data collection to the HMIS will be shared between the

Housing and the Family and Community Departments. Each will report the data of the

population served by their staff under the Eligibility Determination, Housing Relocation and

Stabilization Services activity.

FINANCIAL- HPRP funds will be received from HUD by the City’s Finance Department and

incorporated into the different departments annual operating budget. All encumbrances and

expenditures will be entered into the City of San Juan financial management system,

administered through the Finance Department. The City’s annual comprehensive audit will

include audit of all HPRP expenditures.

Emergency Shelter, Supportive Service and Transitional Housing Activities to be undertaken.

The City will provide services to the homeless through La Casa Nuestra Gente and the

Centro de Acogida, centers operated by the Family and Community Department of San

Juan. These facilities provide the opportunity to the homeless to receive the integrated

and multiphase services that assist the particular needs and facilitate the reincorporation

to the community. The problem of the homeless population requires a community effort

and the interaction of various agencies since the problems that these present have

various dimensions: health, social, economic, housing, spiritual, educational, employment,

among others.


101

The first step to end homelessness is to quickly re-house everyone who becomes

homeless- open the back door out of homelessness. Different subpopulations of homeless

persons require different housing strategies. The two major groups to consider are

homeless families and homeless single adults. Both groups face system-based barriers to

“getting out the back door.” To address the need of the homeless, the City of San Juan

and its partners has the following housing choices available to the homeless:

Emergency Shelter

Emergency Shelter facilities provide a safe and decent alternative to the streets for up to

90 days for a family or individual who is homeless, in addition to providing access to case

management, health care assessment and referral services. This emergency placement

includes meals, sleeping arrangements, and access to phone and mail services. Before the

conclusion of the 90-day stay limitation, each family or individual will have completed an

assessment to determine self-sufficiency goals and housing needs. A family can then be

referred to transitional housing, move to permanent supportive housing, or move into

other low-income housing. Each client agrees to the conditions of stay within the facility

and agrees to work on a case plan designed to make self-sufficiency possible.

The following table summarizes the emergency shelters projects that will be available to

serve the Homeless Population of the City of San Juan.

18 years old, and it specifically offers a safe place to sleep in. It has 56 beds and operates 7 days

a week, 24 hours a day. In this place all the assistance services are offered by social workers,

psychologists, nurses, doctors, psychiatrists, nutritionists, and assistive personnel. Transportation

and recreational activities as well as educational activities are among other services offered.

Transitional Housing

Transitional housing is a type of supportive housing used to facilitate the movement of homeless

individuals and families to permanent housing. Basically, it is housing in which homeless persons

live for up to 24 months and receive supportive services that enable them to live more

independently. The supportive services may be provided by the organization managing the

housing or coordinated by them and provided by other public or private agencies. Transitional

housing can be provided in one structure or several structures, at one site or in multiple

structures at scattered sites. The following table summarizes the transitional housing projects

Strategy to Reduce Chronic Homelessness

The City of San Juan’s 10-year Plan to reduce Chronic Homelessness is based on the prior experiences of

the City and the non-profit organizations dealing with the problems of the population. The

Department of The Family and Community of the Municipal Government of San Juan has assumed

the responsibility of offering and facilitating integrated, comprehensive services to homeless

persons who are mentally ill, including substance abusers.

The Department provides direct services by developing and implementing a cooperative,

comprehensive and specialized system for such population. The Department has established

partnerships with community and faith-based organizations, recognizing that these have assumed

a portion of the State’s responsibilities for treatment and protection of populations with special

needs. The participation of these organizations is vital to the improvement of quality of life.

One of the Mayor’s programmatic items is the establishment of partnerships, and the

development of community and faith-based organizations into a formal system which provides

continuity of services to this special population. The objective is to integrate the collaborative

and specialized system which complements the strategies for social action and program services.

The “Protocol for Services”, developed by the Department in 2001 to attend the needs of

homeless persons, is based on cumulative experience and knowledge as well as on Treatment

Improvement Protocols for substance abuse developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental

Health Services Administration (SAMSHA). The result of the implementation of this protocol is a

reduction in the number of homeless and chronic homeless persons in San Juan.

The Service Protocol for Chronic Homeless Persons integrates the knowledge of various

disciplines which form a professional, scientific system for treatment based on best practices.

Included are administrators, physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals. The system

is built within the conceptual frameworks of treatment, prevention and law used to intervene for

early attention and appropriate referral, evaluation, and services.

This protocol also provides a general vision of the various classes of treatment , follow-through,

and services available according to a person’s condition. It also gives service providers the rules

and procedures to be followed for adequate care, and for adequate attention and respect for

treatment and recovery rights of patients and service consumers. In addition, it provides

instructions on how to access other services. The Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness is

built on the concept of the existing Continuum of Care Strategy modified to include the Housing

Components and the City

Model for specialized treatment of the Homeless as described in the following diagram :


110

The protocol is divided in seven levels as explained in the following pages:

Level 1 (Identification, evaluation and referral)

Identification of Incidence and Prevalence Sectors (establishment of an incidence and prevalence map to be

used for planning services and investment of resources). Action is taken by a team provided by the Toma mi

Mano program, formed by social workers, psycho-social technicians, and service representatives.

“Incidence” refers to new cases, or to a problem’s outbreak in a Sector, Area, or Community. It

refers to a single person or various persons, but it is neither chronic nor permanent.

“Prevalence” is the number of persons with the problem, or with a chronic condition. This is

identified by the settlement of homeless persons and congregation of substance abusers.

Outreach of Homeless Persons

Toma mi Mano (“Take my Hand”) Program. Team of social workers, psycho-social technicians

and service representatives, available seven days weekly, from 7:00 a.m. to midnight. Team

members rove the Community to offer services and to begin the decision-making process to

initiate treatment. Steps are taken to provide individual treatment. Acceptance is made of

referrals from communities, as well as from other service areas and the Municipal Police Service

Unit for Homeless Persons.

Iniciativa Hacia la Esperanza (“Towards Hope Initiative”) – is a multi-disciplinary team providing

special rescue activities in communities with high prevalence. Activities are undertaken in

coordination with other departments and community-based agencies in order to provide

treatment and rehabilitation options. It provides health and social services, substance

detoxification, provisional shelter, food, personal items, and transportation, among other

services.

Unidad Móvil (“Mobile Unit”) - is a traveling service to serve communities with high prevalence. It

uses a bus equipped with office, medical area, and multi-disciplinary equipment to provide

services to homeless persons, and is staffed by representative of various public agencies and

private entities.


111

Evaluation and Treatment Assignment Interview

Referrals - Referrals are made for detoxification treatment to various community-based

organizations, such as Hogares CREA and Lucha Contra el SIDA, as well as to various government

health organizations, such as Centros Mas Salud, the Municipal Hospital, private hospitals, and

centers associated with the Health Insurance Network of Puerto Rico.

Case management- Participants’ needs are coordinated with the various concerned agencies,

including health organizations, the court system in the application of Law No. 408, the Puerto Rico

Administration for Mental Health and Anti-Addiction Services (ASSMCA) for specialized

Methadone treatment, and other treatment.

Level 2 (Treatment)

Assignment for treatment, such as Centros Mas Salud, Municipal Hospital, and Detoxification Treatment

Centers.

Acute Conditions. There is a protocol for cases in which the rapid development of physiological,

psychological and/or emotional conditions can result in death if not treated immediately.

Treatment of acute conditions is intensive and immediate, provided by health, psycho-social and

public safety/security professionals. Steps may include crisis intervention, hospitalization, and

isolation, among others. Homeless persons evidencing symptoms of acute conditions will be

examined by qualified personnel from the City’s Department of the Family and Community,

Department of Health, and/or Public Safety. The following procedure is to be followed:

Patients are interviewed to obtain all necessary personal information, and to determine health

conditions insofar as possible.

Communication with the emergency room of the nearest Centro MásSalud (24 hours a day) is

initiated to allow intensive intervention.

Patient is escorted to the emergency room of the corresponding Centro MásSalud for triage,

registration and evaluation.

While under evaluation, the patient is provided with breakfast, lunch, snack and supper by La

Casa Nuestra Gente.

If tertiary treatment is deemed necessary, the patient is referred to the Municipal Hospital.


112

If tertiary treatment is not deemed necessary, the patient is provided with Medical Orders and

referred to the San Juan Aging Center.

Transportation to the Municipal Hospital and the Aging Center is provided by the City’s

Emergency Medical Service.

While a patient is hospitalized or in a residential facility, social workers from La Casa de Nuestra

Gente provide daily follow-through, as well as personal items, clothing, snack, and other

necessary services.

The Social Work Team of La Casa de Nuestra Gente complete any necessary Involuntary

Hospitalization and Evaluation Request in those cases involving patients who have the potential

to endanger themselves or others, or to property, through Law No. 408, either during

hospitalization or transitional services. The Team also coordinates with ASSMCA or the Puerto

Rico Department of Health for additional services.

If a patient suffers of substance dependencies, the City’s Department of Health coordinate

treatment and recovery services, such as referrals to the Methadone Program, as necessary. If

hospitalization is required, the head doctor establishes physician-to-physician coordination.

Social work personnel coordinate with Commonwealth agencies as required.

Once a patient is discharged, the Medical Director will notify the Department of the Family and

Community, so that the latter will provide continuum of care at the appropriate level.

Level 3 (Emergency Shelter)

La Casa Nuestra Gente. This is an emergency, temporary program providing shelter for up to two years, with

supporting services to attend the most pressing needs of homeless persons. It provides 68 beds, and operates

on a continuing basis, seven days weekly, 24 hours daily. All supporting service are provided, to include

physical health, social services, food, personal sanitation, psychological and psychiatric services, socio-

educational activities, and placement into other community-based shelters.


113

Levels 4, 5 & 6 (Transitional Housing)

Safe Haven (Mental Health Treatment for Chronic Cases)

This is a transitional housing service approach aimed at the homeless population with chronic mental illness

problems. It has a multi-disciplinary staff of mental health professionals which operates on a 24-hour

continuing basis to provide services required to stabilize patients with mental disorders. It is equipped with 12

beds, and provides psychiatric and medication treatment, support services, physical health, social health, food

living, recreational therapy, and socio-educational activities.

Mothers with Children

This is a transitional housing program which provides shelter to homeless women with children. Individual

physical, emotional and social needs or participants are attended to. The project encourages self-sufficiency

and economic independence, and the acquisition of child-rearing skills through social, psychological and

psychiatric services, tutoring, job training, and other supportive services. It can provide apartments to up to

eight families in four two-family units. Apartments include living room, dining room, bathroom, and bedrooms

for two families.

dependency problems. The Center operates on a continuing basis to 72 participants (12 female, 60 male).

The multi-disciplinary specialized treatment team includes social worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, nurse,

nutritionist, and recreational therapist, among others. Treatment with Methadone is provided. Inter-agency

services are coordinated.

Level 7 (Social Re-insertion and Follow-Through)

The following housing and specialized support is offered to the homeless of

San Juan:

works to prepare participants for their return to social life, and to remain within that social life

within established norms through intervention and follow-through;

Shelter Plus Care - This is an innovative project which provides permanent housing vouchers and

supportive services to chronic homeless individuals and families who have completed their


114

treatment. A multi-disciplinary team provides supportive services in the participants’ own

housing. Economic assistance is provided to help defray de cost of rental, utilities, and home

appliances. Continuous follow-through is provided. Up to 50 housing vouchers are provided in

coordination with the Municipal Department of Housing. Services are provided from 6:00 a.m. to

Employment (newspaper porters, security guards, maids, centers for the elderly, maintenance

brigades, and others);

Education (“Programa Avance”, John Dewey College, Department of Education for adults); and

Self-employment (micro businesses).

Toxicological Detection

Toxicological detection is implemented at all levels of care to maintain control and prevent recurrences.


115

Confidentiality

Federal statutes, such as HIPAA, are enforced to guarantee privacy regarding health conditions,

thus preventing stigmas and discrimination. Prior to initiation of treatment, the participant is

required to authorize in writing such treatment, and is informed of the requirem ents to provide

necessary information to initiate and/or to continue such treatment.

This protocol has proven its effectiveness in reducing the number of homeless and chronic

homeless in San Juan City. The City understands that the implementation of this protocol shall be

continued in combination with other strategies and action steps that will improve it effectiveness.

To be successful in the implementation of the plan and to achieve the goals and outcomes,

reducing chronic homelessness, and making a greater positive difference in homeless person’s

lives will require additional coordination and collaboration. The implementation of the plan must

be based on flexibility, innovation, and reinvention of the current approaches.

The City of San Juan chronic homeless strategy is based on two major goals, described in the next

pages, and articulated in terms of action steps, responsible organizations and target dates. These

services are geared to retain and increase the number of chronically homeless persons in

emergency, transitional and permanent housing options and to better ascertain their needs to

improve planning, services, treatment options, as well as income and self -determination options.

These goals are:

Goal 1- Close the front door -Reduce the number of persons that become chronic homeless.

Goal 2- Open the back door- Increase the number of chronic homeless that are rehabilitated and

obtain permanent housing and independent living.

These strategic goals are consistent with our past performance and provide continuity with our

prior action steps, they heighten and expand the impact areas we have focused, and effectively

address the major obstacles we have recognized.

The success of the Plan will depend on the availability of resources for implementation and the

willingness of the partners to implement the recommended actions that will have an effect of

ending chronic homelessness rather than perpetuating it. The City of San Juan Coalition for


116

Continued Support for the Homeless has the knowledge, creativeness, and drive to make this Plan

a reality on the scale required for success. We believe that chronic homelessness can in fact be

ended when the social, political and moral will is strong enough.

These efforts, strategies and activities are explained in greater detail in the tables provided in the

forthcoming pages.

General Priorities

To reduce the number of chronic homeless, tremendous effort and tremendous resources are

needed. The City government cannot undertake this task alone. Collaboration and integration is

needed. It is important to improve relationships and partnerships among State government

agencies, municipal departments, non-profits and institutions in order to leverage funding

available for permanent supportive housing. Most of the resources available are directed to

outreach and essential services. Prevention and permanent housing receive the least resources

although they can be the key to the reduction of the number of chronic homeless so retooling of

the existing models are needed to achieve the goal of ending chronic homelessness. A strong

commitment from the stakeholders is critical and needed. Specifically the City expects the

following:

Long-term commitment from the first planning steps to full implementation

Staff time and energy

Willingness to engage diverse stakeholders and forge new partnerships

Ability to think creatively about old problems and existing resources

The 10-Year Plan to end chronic homelessness recognizes the importance of partnerships between

stakeholders and the task force considers them to be one of the critical components in the plan to develop

permanent solutions to homelessness.

Section 5- Other Actions

Action to reduce barriers to affordable housing

Predominant barriers for the development of affordable housing in San Juan continue to be,

among others, the high cost of real estate and extensive, costly and many times, bureaucratic

processes necessary to obtain mandatory state permits approvals. Considering the fact that, for

decades the predominant pattern of urban development within the Municipality was single -family

residential developments, the end result was the consumption of practically the totality of

available lands. Thus, the resulting scarcity of land for the development of single-family housing,

and the subsequent negative experiences with the development of high-density, high-rise social

interest housing has provoked a marginal affordable market supply.

To mitigate this problem the municipal government will provide developers with parcels of land,

property of the City to construct housing units. As stated in the previous version of this Plan, the

City of San Juan carried out a bid for the submittal of affordable housing development propos als

for various parcels located among the City limits. Unfortunately, none of the projects presented,

were found to be responsive to this segment of our housing market, as the proposed unit costs

surpassed those currently affordable to our low to moderate income families. Developers are

required to produce affordable housing for low-income families, as a condition to acquire lands

from the City. Another action the City will take is preparing an inventory of housing units

available in market that may be acquired by ours participants.


120

The following table identifies the barriers to affordable housing and the strategies to minimize

the problem:

BARRIER STRATEGY FOR AMELIORATION

Tax policies affecting land and other properties Municipal taxes.

The Municipality will provide tax exemption (construction taxes) to developers of affordable housing. For this purpose the Municipality will continue with Ordinance NUM. 12. This local legislation provides local tax exemption to affordable housing project.

Land use controls and zoning ordinances. Land use versus cost of land.

The City, through its Housing and Urbanism Department, will continue its efforts to overcome this barrier by considering the use of City-owned land, whenever possible, for development as affordable housing. The City will provide land at reduced costs to developers that will develop housing for low and moderate income persons. The City aggressively will support the purchase of land by the nonprofits, to ensure long-term affordability. Given San Juan’s strong real estate market, the vacant land would be permanently lost if nonprofits are not move quickly to purchase and preserve the land for the development of affordable housing. The City’s Urbanism Department has worked for many years to support zoning policies that would promote incentives to encourage developers to provide affordable housing. During this program year it is expected that the land use plan of the City is finally approved. The Land Use plan provides multiple zoning incentives that reduce the costs of development of Affordable Housing.

Building codes and consultation processes Burdensome building permits requirements.

The municipal government will continue to support the permit office. This office will expedite the endorsement process of affordable housing project.

Fees and charges Impact fees

Minimum salary requirements

Local Ordinance #12 provides State agencies will be encouraged to review their impact fee policies on social housing projects. No amelioration is possible.

Policies that affect the return on residential investment Increasing cost of construction materials.

The City will work to eliminate any regulatory gaps by working with federal and other agencies to identify problems and, where appropriate, to seek refinements or waivers of regulations that impede efficient affordable housing production. The Legislature of Puerto Rico will be made aware of the need to reduce import duties on construction materials for affordable housing projects.

High Cost of Rental Housing

Rental subsidy will be offered to low and very low-income families reducing the economic burden of the renting a housing unit. HOME funds will be offered for the development of rental housing.

High Cost of Housing Units

Homeownership subsidies will be offered to low and moderate-income families to allow them to acquire a housing unit. The City will work to reduce the resource gap by aggressively seeking out additional federal, state and private resources to support its affordable housing priorities

Other Actions


121

Action to Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing.

It is of vital importance in this Annual Plan to identify how well the City will foster and maintain

the quality and quantity of affordable housing units. The City fosters and maintains affordable

housing by using local and federal resources for the provision of rental, rehabilitation, acquisition

and new construction assistance through CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and other housing programs to

implement these strategies. Additional resources include Section 8, Shelter Plus Care, SRO

Moderate Rehabilitation, and the Supportive Housing Program (SHP).

Development of affordable housing policy and programs is the responsibility of the Department of

Housing and Community Development and its different programs.

The following table shows the actions to be taken by the City of San Juan to foster and maintain

affordable housing:

PROBLEM LOCAL PROGRAM THAT ADDRESS

THE PROBLEM RESULT

A large number of the single-family homes within the City limits pre-date 1960 and are in need of rehabilitation assistance.

CDBG- Housing Rehabilitation Program will provide rehabilitation assistance to low and moderate income families for the rehabilitation of the Housing Units. It is expected that a total of 152 units will be rehabilitated during program year 2011. HOME- Funds will be awarded for homeowner Substantial Rehabilitation. It is expected that at least 6 units will be rehabilitated during this program year.

Preserve the existing housing stock

A lack of buildable sites in the city or unaffordable for the development of low income housing.

HOME- Grants will be awarded to developers for the acquisition of land for the development of affordable housing units. This will result in the reduction of the sale price of the housing unit.

Foster the development of new affordable housing units.

Lack of affordable housing units for the low income persons

HOME- Grants will be awarded to developers for the acquisition of land for the development of affordable housing units. This will result in the reduction of the sale price of the housing unit. It is expected that at least 60 units will be developed using the HOME funds. Section 8 Program- The Municipality will enhance the section 8 Homeownership option to allow very low income families to acquire an affordable housing unit.

Foster the development of new affordable housing units.

Preserve the existing housing stock by providing homeownership opportunities to very low income persons.

SHP program- The City will continue to provide TBRA assistance to the Homeless persons. SRO- Casa Rosa

Preserve the existing housing stock by providing affordable, safe and sanitary rental opportunities to Homeless population.

Actions for the Evaluation and Reduction of Lead Based Paint Hazards

The City of San Juan will continue to undertake the following actions in order to comply with

current lead based paint regulations:

The Municipal Department of Housing, along with the Code Enforcement Program, and

sub recipients must participate actively in educating the public regarding the LBP

Program, and in providing orientation to owners of priority houses that are targeted for

assessment and abatement efforts. Although temporary relocation is not anticipated,

both owners and tenants of priority housing will require orientation on the potential

risks of the assessment and abatement actions, legal rights and responsibilities, potential

health risks in the case of positive test results, lead poisoning examination p rocedures,

and treatment services if poisoning is determined.

EPA-certified personnel assigned to the Department of Housing, and/or IPA-certified

contractors will undertake assessment and abatement expeditiously. LBP assessment

and abatement activities will be carried out consecutively, but once housing units with

LBP content requiring abatement work, and in which children under age 6 are residing

have been identified, abatement will be initiated on a first -come-first-served basis, as

funding permits.

Contractors certified by the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board will carry out all

abatement work.


123

Program financing will be shared by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the

Section 8 Program, the municipal CDBG, ESG and HOME programs, and by the Municipality of San

Juan funds. Blood tests for detection of lead poisoning are not available in Puerto Rico. Families

of children at risk will be referred to a medical facility, where a medical history will be compiled

and a physical examination will be performed. Children will be referred to the laboratory of the

Río Piedras Medical Center, where blood samples will be taken and conveyed to stateside labs for

analysis. Results will be returned to the laboratory at the Río Piedras Medical Center, where they

will be interpreted to the test subject. Children and adults determined to be lead-poisoned will be

treated through the Medical Center.

It is the goal of the Municipality of San Juan to continue to assess and abate lead -based paint

hazards. These activities will be intensified in order to continue the reduction of risks associated

with lead-based paint under current housing rehabilitation programs and other assisted housing

programs.

In addition to the actions to be taken to comply with the Lead Base Paint Regulations, the Code

Enforcement Program identifies dilapidated structures, which represent health and/or safety

hazard. This program is responsible for the identification and demolition of dilapidated structures

that may affect the health and safety of San Juan residents. Before advertising for a demolition

contract the City conduct a study by means of qualified environmentalists to determine the

presence of lead-based paint in the structures. If the study indicates the presence of lead-based

hazards specific requirements for the handling and disposition of the materials and rubble are

included in the demolition contract between the City and private contractors. According to Code

Enforcement Program data less than 6 cases per year had been detected with lead-based hazards.

In the Section 8 Program, landlords are required to disclose any knowledge regarding the

presence of lead-based paint in the housing units rented. Housing inspectors are alert to identify

the presence of lead-based hazards in their annual physical on inspections of properties occupied

by Section 8 tenants. It is expected that the section 8 program conducts at least 3,500 HQS

inspection that include the verification of deteriorated paint.


124

The Housing Rehabilitation program will conduct visual inspection and will comply with the

requirements of the lead based regulation.

Actions to reduce the number of families below the poverty line

The actions to reduce poverty during FY 2011-2012 evolve around a continued strategy to

provide, maintain and upgrade the housing stock and the creation of jobs for low and moderate –

income persons. As it has strived to achieve throughout this Consolidated Plan, the City will

continue to provide affordable alternatives for adequate and safe housing, so that a substantial

portion of participating family’s income does not have to be used to cover its housing payment.

On the other hand, the development of micro businesses, capital improvements and activiti es to

boost the economy continue to be the catalysts for job creation. As anti -poverty strategies must

include coordinated and effective efforts to ensure economic stability and satisfy basic needs, the

range of activities funded for the program year is one that covers every angle of the issue. These

include; education, economic assistance, utility assistance, housing rental assistance, orientation

and counseling for homeless, youth, drug abusers and persons with physical disabilities. Some of

the specific strategies planned for the year are:

The HPRP program will reduce the rent and utilities cost of families at risk of becoming

homeless

The San Juan Educational system will provide educational opportunities to low income

students.

Continue provision of HOME Program economic assistance to low-income level families

with down payment and closing expenses in the acquisition of a home, including

homeownership under Section 8 (y) of the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Continue the construction of new housing for persons of low income. Furthermore, this

activity will continue generating employment opportunities pursuant to Section 3 of Title

I of NAHA, as amended.

Continue the provision of economic assistance to homeowners to rehabilitate or

construct their housing units.

Provide incentives to private investors for new construction in sectors with serious

economic and social problems. These incentives will be extended to the Enforcement


125

Program that identifies dilapidated structures, which represent health and safety hazard.

This program is responsible for the identification and demolition of dilapidated

structures that may affect the health and safety of San Juan residents. Before

advertising for a demolition contract, the City determines the presence of lead-based

hazards specific requirements for the handling and disposition of the materials and

rubble included in Enforcement Program data.

Support the creation of non-profit organizations to encourage the participation of

communities in the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing by Community

Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs).

To develop community micro enterprises addressed to promote the economic

development activities in sectors with economic disadvantage.

Continue with the identification and support of neighborhood groups and non-profit

organizations, which aim to create micro-businesses.

The provision of education, health and recreational services to young persons and

children, courses on arts and crafts, as well as tutoring, are offered after school hours

through the Extended Hours program to students enrolled in the regular courses.

Housing Rehabilitation Program funds to carry out limited rehabilitation or expansion of

at least ninety (156) existing housing units to extend their useful lives.

The Recreation Program will conduct tournaments in 16 different sports for students of

Intermediate and Secondary public schools in San Juan.

The HOPWA Program will provides 725 certificates for rental payment to persons with

HIV/AIDS and their families in eligible municipalities in the Metropolitan Region.

Temporary housing services and support services offered through the HOPWA program.


126

Actions to develop institutional structure and coordination

In carrying out most of the activities that comprises the Consolidated Plan the City utilizes its own

departmental structures, alliances with the State Government, and the private sector including

banks, developers and non-profit entities.

In the implementation of the CDBG Program, most of the activities are established, developed

and carried out by the City’s offices and Departments that possesses the knowledge and

experience to perform well. This permits us to maintain a better control over the expenditure of

funds, the reasonableness of the cost of the activity, and the timely completion of the activity.

In the case of the HOME Program most of the projects are carried out by the private sector.

Housing developers and mortgage bankers work closely with us to produce affordable housing at

a reasonable cost. The screening of applicants to determine their eligibility for homeownership is

primarily the responsibility of the mortgage banker. We expect the private sector to be a

continuing driving force in the implementation of this program.

With respect to the HOPWA Program its main activity; rent supplement; in which about 725

housing certificates are provided to persons with AIDS and their families. The activity is carried

out by 25 of the 40 municipalities that comprise the San Juan EMSA. The procedures and

resources that these municipalities utilize for the regular Section 8 Program are used for this

HOPWA rent supplement activity.

HOPWA funds are allocated to municipalities and organizations using a competition system that

take in consideration the following:

• Need

• Past performance

• Administrative capacity

• Proposed use of funds

• Years of services


127

During this program year an MOU will be executed that will allow the HOPWA program of the City

to administer the HOPWA funds of the State.

A committee evaluates the proposals and recommends the selections of the organizations.

The other services which consist mainly in the provision of transitional housing and supportive

services are provided through project sponsors, all of which are non-profit entities.

The ESG program is carried out by the City’s Department of Social Development which administers

an emergency shelter known as “Casa Nuestra Gente”.

Lead Office

The municipality’s Community Development Block Grant Office coordinates all activities designed

and implemented to attend to the needs of low and extremely low-income families, elderly

persons, homeless families/persons, and populations with special needs. The coordination efforts

focus on:

• providers of public and assisted housing

• public and private health care providers

• agencies that offer mental health services

• municipal, state, and federal government entities and other jurisdictions

• private sector

• not-for-profit organizations

This office also offers technical assistance to not-for-profit organizations, and administers all

CDBG funds. In addition this office prepares the consolidated plan that includes strategies for

the HOME, ESG and HOPWA programs.

Other Local/State Entities

Various local offices coordinate very closely with the CDBG Office in order to best serve the

municipality’s eligible families/persons. These offices are:

Municipal Housing Department: This Department administers the Section 8, HOME, and

HOPWA programs at the local level. In addition, it administers the CDBG’s Housing

Rehabilitation program for low and very-low income families. It coordinates new

construction projects of affordable housing and promotes homeownership at all levels.


128

Department of Social Development and Family Services: This Department addresses the

needs of elderly and homeless families/persons by means of food, clothing, supportive

services, employment opportunities, and job training. The office also has a referral

service for persons with alcohol or drug addiction. It also offers supportive services to

The housing delivery system and its resources are best understood in terms of the institutional

structure through which housing programs are implemented. Said system’s success is ultimately

measured by whether it produces enough units so that all families and persons may have safe,


129

decent, and affordable housing. The institutional structure through which the City of San Juan

meets its housing objectives includes those government agencies accountable for housing and

economic development, as well as private industries and not-for-profit organizations. The

programs provided by this intricate network are capable of satisfying the needs of the

community.

The specific actions to improve the institutional structure to be undertaken during this program

year are included in the following table:

ISSUE ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Lack of communication between city department for the implementation of the Community Development Strategy

Periodic meetings will be held between city department and office to facilitate the implementation of the strategy.

Lack of timeliness in submission of achievement data to be included in the CAPER.

Data of CPD funded activities will be requested from recipients and subrecipients every semester. Data of goals from other local funded programs will be requested quarterly.

Dependency of funds from CPD funds City program and subrecipients will be provided with information of additional funding sources and other self-sufficiency strategies to reduce the dependency on CPD funding.

standards.The City Government adopted a guide for the recapturing process which includes the

following periods:


133

HOMEOWNERSHIP ASSISTANCE

MINIMUM PERIOD OF

SUPPORT IN YEARS

Less than $15,000 5

15,001 to 25,000 10

134

Special Condition: Householder that has a severe health or medical condition that limits work and has

deteriorated the economic condition of the family.

When this situation happens the Municipality of San Juan will subordinate:

if proceeds will be used to consolidated debts and reduce the total monthly payment of all the households monthly debts;

if the new mortgage payment will be lower than the total monthly payments of the debts that will be consolidated;

if the participant will not receive any cash amount;

if the new mortgage amount will be the current amount of the principal plus the equity accumulated by the participant.

o Example:

AV = Appraised Value of the Housing Unit: $100,000

MB = Mortgage Balance: $40,000

S = Subsidy $30,000

Number of years since the acquisition: 5

Recapture Conditions (these conditions change from case to case)

100% of the subsidy $30,000

30% of the profit (surplus) $9,000

Participant equity: $21,000

Maximum amount of new mortgage $61,000

Formula:

Appraised Value $100,000

minus Mortgage Balance $40,000

= $60,000

Minus recapture conditions

100% of the subsidy $30,000

= Equity $30,000

30% of the equity $9,000

Participant equity $21,000

Maximum amount of new mortgage

Participant Equity

+ Mortgage Balance

= Maximum amount of new mortgage $61,000


135

The refinancing must be coordinated with the HOME program staff and must be approved by the

program manager.The Homebuyer must present evidence of catastrophic disease determined by

a Medicine Doctor and as defined by the American Medical Association, the Medical Association

of Puerto Rico or the American Psychiatrist Association.

In addition to the recapture restrictions to be incorporated in the deed of sale and promissory

note, other provisions will be established. These provisions include the following considerations:

A provision restricting refinancing and subsequent mortgages of the property, witho ut

the written consent of the Municipality. Refinancing will be limited to home

improvements without equity return, to reduce originals interest or mortgage years.

This restriction is necessary, as refinancing with cash return will have the effect of

reducing the profit at resale thus violating the purpose of the recapture provisions. In

addition, a higher monthly payment after refinancing could represent a risk of

foreclosure due to income adjustments.

A requirement that the property will be used as the main residence of the homebuyer

may not be leased. The homebuyer may not convert, sold, donated, and permuted to

other such use without written consent of the Municipality.

In the implementation of the Homeownership Program, the Department will comply and will

require recipients to comply with the provisions of 24 CFR 92.217 Income targeting

Homeownership and 92.254 Qualification as affordable housing: Homeownership.

Use of HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing

Home funds will not be used to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is

being rehabilitated.

HOME Tenant Based Rental Assistance

HOME funds will not be used for Tenant Based Rental Assistance

Affirmative Marketing


136

All developers of the San Juan HOME program who use the funds to assist five or more units must

submit an Affirmative Marketing Plan. The Plan should be designed to promote and equal choice

of housing options and a unitary housing market. Developers will be required to maint ain all

documents concerning their affirmative marketing efforts. These records should include

documentation of any contact with community groups or neighborhood associations, copies of

current advertisements, surveys or marketing instruments used, relevant demographic data, and

other information deemed necessary in relation to the HOME funded activity.

The affirmative market process established includes the following:

Communicating the equal housing opportunity message, or the equal housing

opportunity logotype or slogan, in outreach to the general community. This will be

inserted into all written outreach tools, such as press releases, newsletters, brochures,

advertisements, direct mail solicitations, requests for proposals, and related advertising.

The adoption of a affirmative marketing plan by owners and/or developers. Such plan

must be deemed acceptable by the Municipal Government, and must include advertising

guidelines and frequency of marketing cost estimates.

Periodic meetings with citizens, particularly with those from communities assumed to be

of low and moderate income, to provide orientation regarding HOME Program projects

and application requirements.

Marketing campaigns through the media, flyers and distribution of information.

News coverage and press conferences have been organized, to provide full information

on these projects and available assets, offering program alternatives.

Promote activities in collaboration with Mortgage Banking Institutions and others

agencies to create an impact in all of the communities.

Actions to be taken to establish and oversee a minority outreach program within its

jurisdiction to ensure inclusion, to the maximum extent possible, of minority and women, and

entities owned by minorities /women

Due to the race composition of Puerto Rico the majority of the population is considered minority,

thus no actions are required to attend this population. The City of San Juan requires an MBE/WBE

report form for each project as part of the HOME agreement. The City wil l continue to make

every effort to encourage the inclusion of minority and women's business enterprises concerning

future HOME-funded activities, consistent with 24 CFR 92.350.


137

The municipal government has established a program with greater reach, in order to promote

participation of minorities, to include women and minority owners in HOME Program contracts:

As an additional element, requests in proposals for women and minority businesses will

be channeled through entities, such as the Association of Business Women.

All contracts and sub-contracts will contain appropriate language to assure participation

of minority and women enterprises.

ADDI

The Municipality will not receive ADDI funds during this program year.


138

On-site monitoring

Prepare monitoring reports

o Preliminary reports

o Final Reports

The CDBG office has a monitoring division responsible of monitoring all CDBG funds in the

municipality. This division is responsible of program monitoring in accordance with federal

regulations. The Monitoring Division intends to conduct, at least one monitoring action for each

project, during the year in which it's developed. Notwithstanding, the need for additional visits

and/or monitoring actions will be determined in accordance with each entity’s situation.

The CDBG Monitoring Program guarantees compliance with program requirements and project

objectives, and timely correction of deficiencies in accordance with 24 CFR 85.40(a). These

provisions are applicable to sub-recipients such as non-for-profit institutions, municipal

dependencies and corporations.

Monitoring is a continuous process that involves the frequent telephone and written

communications, meetings, analysis of financial reports and audits, visits and inspections of

activities and/or projects.

The objective of the monitoring is compliance with Federal regulations, detection and timely

correction of deficiencies, improvement of a recipient’s administrative and managerial processes,

reduction of findings in audit reports as well as external monitoring and internal monitoring,

expedite the implementation of recommendations and corrective action plans and recognition of

outstanding and/or innovative execution.

The monitoring procedures include intensive monitoring that includes a complete evaluation,

mostly conducted at the sub-recipient’s office.

These procedures are applicable to sub-recipients, CHDO and municipal departments,

administering funds from these programs, to include program income.

As part of this process, detection of actual or potential situations involving fraud, waste and

abuse of funds, with emphasis on prevention, detection and correction is stressed. In addition,

the monitoring program promotes the request of technical assistance by sub-recipients.

Monitoring section under the Compliance and Monitoring Division is also responsible for

monitoring all applicable requirements for the entire construction phase associated with a HOME

Program project. The monitoring level for each project must be based on the amount of risk

associated with the HOME Program contract. In addition, the Department of Housing will

evaluate accomplishments of the HOME program towards goals of the Consolidated Plan.


142

The HOME Program has a method for analysis or risk assessment to select entities that will be

monitored. This method establishes priorities for schedules of visits, and subject areas to be

evaluated. This selection process assures that sub-recipients and activities with greater

vulnerability to fraud, waste and abuse will be monitored. To comply with HOME program

requirements all homeownership units will be inspected for HQS and Housing Code compliance.

standards used to evaluate all programs and activities.

The CDBG Office will appraise its diverse operations and controls and determine whether: risks

are identified and reduced; acceptable policies and procedures are followed; established

standards are met; resources are used efficiently and economically; and ultimately, its objectives

are achieved. The Municipality prepares documentation and reports as required by HUD,

El estimado anual de ingresos y gastos del Municipio de San Juan se realiza tomando como referencia el Plan Estratégico para los años 2009-2012, establecido por el Primer Ejecutivo y aprobado por la Legislatura Municipal. En el mismo, se definen las metas y estrategias a seguir por las oficinas o departamentos, que son los organismos responsables de llevar a cabo la implantación del mismo. Estos recursos son asignados y distribuidos a través de los programas adscritos a las unidades administrativas municipales, orientados hacia el logro de resultados, mediante el ofrecimiento de servicios en una forma ágil y de calidad, que resulte en una gestión gubernamental eficiente y efectiva. Para viabilizar el mismo, se proyecta para cada año fiscal, los ingresos que el Municipio estima que recaudará al fisco municipal. La proyección de ingresos combinados se realizó considerando la liquidación de ingresos, y los efectos de años anteriores, las distintas situaciones y variables que inciden e impactan a la economía del país. Debido a la crisis económica y fiscal por la cual atraviesa el país, algunos conceptos de ingresos son impactados directamente como los son los arbitrios de construcción, patentes y el impuesto sobre ventas y uso al detal (IVU). El Municipio ha identificado, y continuará identificando, nuevas fuentes de ingresos mediante la preparación de propuestas a ser sometidas al gobierno federal, con el propósito de maximizar los recursos que generen mayor cantidad de fondos al fisco municipal. A continuación, se presenta tabla por tipo de ingreso, para los años fiscales del 2012 al 2015.

El estimado de ingresos combinados para el año 2015 refleja un aumento de $72 millones, el cual representa un cambio de 9.4 (%) al compararlo con el estimado de $763.4 millones para el año fiscal 2010-11. Se estima que el Fondo Ordinario aumente para el año 2015 en $26.2 millones ó 5.9 (%) al compararlo con el estimado de $444.3 millones para el año fiscal 2010-11. La proyección a cuatro (4) años de este recurso representa el 56 (%) del total de recursos combinados proyectados. Éste es el Fondo con el cual cuenta el Municipio para llevar a cabo sus gastos operacionales y demuestra ser un fondo estable para atender los reclamos y necesidades de los ciudadanos capitalinos. El Municipio continúa continúa con la evaluación de alternativas que estén dirigidas a maximizar los recursos existentes y atraer mayor ingreso al fisco municipal. Los Fondos Federales son recursos que complementan los ingresos locales en el financiamiento de programas para ofrecer servicios de calidad en las distintas áreas de salud, vivienda, transportación, adiestramiento y empleo, seguridad pública, educación y nutrición, entre otros. Este recurso experimentará un aumento de $14.9 millones al compararlo con el estimado de $117.6 millones para el año 2010-11. El Municipio continuará identificando fondos para los cuales la Ciudad de San Juan sea elegible, preparará y someterá propuestas al gobierno federal, con el propósito de continuar ofreciendo servicios de calidad a los ciudadanos de la Ciudad Capital. Los Otros Fondos incluyen el CAE, empréstitos, los Ingresos Intergubernamentales que recibimos a través del gobierno central, los ingresos generados del IVU, las penalidades por no rendir el impuesto, y el Fondo de Redención del IVU. En los mismos se proyecta un aumento de $30.9 millones al compararlo con el estimado de $201.5 millones para el año 2010-11. Este aumento se debe mayormente a consecuencia del fondo especial de la contribución adicional especial (CAE). Mediante la Ordenanza Núm. 27, Serie 2009-10, la Legislatura Municipal aprobó la revisión de las tasas contributivas sobre la propiedad mueble e inmueble, no exenta o exonerada, que radica dentro de los límites territoriales del Municipio. Esta revisión resulta necesaria para continuar con el Programa de Mejoras Públicas, el cual está dirigido a mejorar la calidad de la infraestructura que redunda en una mejor calidad de vida y bienestar social de la ciudadanía. El tipo contributivo del CAE aumentó de 2.00% a 3.50%. Esta imposición será aplicable para años contributivos comenzados luego de 31 de diciembre de 2009, a toda persona que a tenor con la Ley Núm. 83 de 31 de agosto de 1991, según enmendada, conocida como “Ley de Contribuciones Municipales sobre la Propiedad”, está sujeta al pago de contribuciones sobre la propiedad inmueble.

Appendix 2- Citizen Participation Process

Comment Response

We strongly suggest that the Action Plan 2011 as well as the Consolidated Plan be made electronically accessible to allow us to study it and better present our comments and recommendations.

For the 2012-2011 program year the Plan will be made available at the web page of the Municipality. In addition the final plan, once approved by HUD, will be posted at www.sanjuan.pr.

We recommend that organizations should have more participation in the planning process; more information about the processes and requirements related to fund access; information related to remaining fund balances from previous years and how to access them, information on affordable rental housing, and information and accessibility of federal housing vouchers.

We disagree with the statement because is incorrect and unfounded. The City of San Juan unlike other CPD grantees in Puerto Rico promote the participation and integrates non-profit organizations in the planning process of the Consolidated Plan. Our process has been recognized by HUD, and even we received a Best Practice Award for our planning and citizen participation process. Technical Assistance is provided to non profit on remaining (available) fund balances from previous years and how to access them, information on affordable rental housing, and information and accessibility of federal housing vouchers. Even the organization that presented the comment has received the TA and funds for the development of housing.

Through the Action Plan and specifically in the Services Flow Chart, it appears as if the municipality defines needs, plans for solution, provides the services and therefore receives the funds for almost the totality of the homeless population. The fact remains that La Fondita de Jesús provides services to over 3,500 homeless persons a year.

Again we disagree with the statement because is incorrect. The Annual Action Plan explain the strategy used by the City for servicing the Homeless Population. As part of the strategy various organizations, including La Fondita de Jesus, play a role in the Continuum of Care of the Homeless Population. Although we generally describe the role of each organization, the inclusion of such information is not required by the regulation. The Municipality is required to include "Activities it plans to undertake during the next year to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless individuals and families (including subpopulations), to prevent low-income individuals and families with children (especially those with incomes below 30 percent of median) from becoming homeless, to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, and to address the special needs of persons who are not homeless identified in accordance with § 91.215(d);"

Comment Response

We noticed that it appears that there’s a mistake in the information summarized at the table that summarizes the transitional and permanent housing projects and the beds available, including information about La Fondita de Jesus

The information included in the plan was taken from 2009 CoC application as posted by HUD in the HRE web page. Any information regarding the number of beds is consistent with the information presented in the CoC application as approved by HUD.

Allow mortgage payments on existing indebtedness secured by a property being rehabilitated with CDBG funds if such financing is necessary to achieve the community needs. (Might require amendment to the present Consolidated Plan)

Due to lack of performance by nonprofit organizations this activity is not used by the City. Instead of this activity the Municipality uses HOME funds to provide low interest rate rehabilitation loans to low income individuals.

Allow maintenance and rehab funding, including refurnishing, for existing transitional housing facilities that are over 5 years old and are fully owned by NGO’s,. (Might require amendment to the Consolidated Plan)

Maintenance is not an eligible activity of the CDBG program. Regarding rehabilitation the City of San Juan has provided funds for the rehabilitation of facilities operated by NGO. In the past La Fondita de Jesus has received such funds.

Allow funding for NGO’s acquiring land and/or structure for the development of housing (transitional or permanent), or applicable services. A one-year timeframe to begin construction could be required. (Might require amendment to the Consolidated Plan)

Funds are available for those uses but not under the CDBG Program. The Annual Action Plan is an integrated strategy that require the allocation of resources for the best uses. It is public policy the provision of HOME funds for the development of housing.

Allow funds for rental housing under “Housing Priority” for CDBG funds since access to affordable housing in Puerto Rico is generally of rental housing.

Again HOME funds are provided for the development of rental housing. We want to clarify that "access to affordable housing in Puerto Rico is generally of rental housing" is incorrect. The majority of the affordable housing produced with CPD funds has be for homeownership and not rental.

We would like to see that a significant amount of CDBG 2011 funding estimates ($10,404,612) are allotted to other non-governmental organization that work with the homeless people.

Historically organizations that serve the Homeless in Puerto Rico has used federal funds for the provision of services. Unfortunately only 15% of the CDBG funds can be used for the provision of public services. It is our understanding that homeless population is served and funded better than other populations we greatest need. During program year 2011 the City allocated CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA funds to activities that

Comment Response

will serve the homeless.

Allow rehab funding, including refurnishing, for existing transitional housing facilities that are over 5 years old and are fully owned by NGO’s, (Might require amendment to the Consolidated Plan)

HOME funds are available and awarded for such uses.

Allow funding for NGO’s acquiring land and/or structure for the development of housing (transitional or permanent), or applicable services. A one-year timeframe to begin construction could be required. (Might require amendment to the Consolidated Plan)

HOME funds are available and awarded for such uses.

Allow for HOME funds to be used to provide tenant-based rental assistance. The advantage of “tenant-based” rental assistance is that the person can search and choose for himself/herself, and that it promotes diversification.

It is not public policy of the City of San Juan to provide HOME funds for TBRA. The policy of the City is promote homeownership with HOME funds and to provide TBRA with Section 8 funds, HOPWA, and other funding sources.

Allow Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and their Project-Based Rental assistance program to be coordinated with rental units developed and rehabilitated through HOME.

HOME funds are used, when possible and allowed by the regulation, in combination with Housing Choice Voucher Program funds. During the past years more than 10 section 8 families has benefited from the HOME program.

Allow funding for NGO’s acquiring land and/or structure for the development of services. A one-year timeframe to begin construction could be required. (Might require amendment to the Consolidated Plan)

Acquisition of real property is a ineligible activity of the ESG program.

Allow ESG Operational Costs for mortgage payments as well as for rent. Such allocations would contribute to non-profit organizations being less dependent.

HPRP funds are available for the proposed uses thus is not necessary to allocate ESG funds.

Allow funding to NGO’s for payment of utilities, operational, as well as administrative costs

HPRP funds are available for the proposed uses thus is not necessary to allocate ESG funds. In addition ESG funds are available from the State for those purposes.

Allow for undeveloped public land and unused structures to be accessible to NGO’s

Authorization for undeveloped public land and unused structures is under the authority of the Municipal Legislature.

Allow funding for services, transitional and permanent housing structures that need to be rehabilitated so as to comply with ADA, and other federal and local government requirements.

HOME and HOPWA funds are available for those uses.

Comment Response

When funds are to be reimbursed to the NGO’s, provide the NGO a two -month advance of projected expenses. This enables the entity to function with an adequate cash flow without having to incur additional costs for carrying a credit line.

Two months cash advances are not permitted by the regulations.

On the Housing Activities Proposed Household to Benefit 2010-2011 chart, we suggest that the HOME Funds allotted to benefit 86 moderate income household instead be allotted to benefit extremely low income renters through qualified NGO,s organizations.

It is the policy of the City of San Juan to use HOME funds for homeownership and not to develop rental housing. Housing Choice Voucher Program, HPRP, HOPWA TBRA, and Shelter Plus Care Funds are available to serve the extremely low income renters depending on their needs.

The 2011 Action Plan should have a process through which it would assure complete transparency and access to information pertaining to the totality of funds available, how they are accessed, how the funds are assigned, how and when they are in fact used, and what funds are unused but available.

We disagree with your statement. The process used by the city complies with all the requirements established by HUD.

For a better monitoring of the Action Plan, we suggest that everything regarding the funds—their quantities, assignment, use, results—be available in a Matrix, so that everyone interested can readily monitor the Plan.

See page 131 of the plan.

The Action Plan needs to make clear that we are all seated at the table and included in the needs analysis and decision-making process, as well as the Interagency Committee. We suggest including in this Interagency Committee representatives from the NGOs.

During the preparation of the strategies of the consolidated NGO are consulted regarding the need of their organizations. In addition during public hearing all organizations and the general public are invited and encouraged to participate and expose their needs. We understand that current level of participation is adequate and complies with the regulations.

The Plan needs to spell out how coordination between public and private social service agencies, including non-profit housing providers, will be enhanced.

The plan include such information.

The Policy and Procedures to Affirmatively Market Housing Containing Five or More HOME-Assisted Units should include not only “the use of minority-owned media as part of the marketing efforts”, but

Faith based organizations and other nonprofit organization are used during the affirmative marketing process.

Comment Response

also churches, NPOs, etc.

The Action Plan should include a clear definition of what constitutes criminalization of the homeless, which we understand to be the prohibition of human activities in public spaces by those who lack a private space for them. In addition, the Plan should detail the specific action steps to combat this problem, which seems to us far more serious than the Plan recognizes. For example, the large majority of Puerto Rico’s municipalities have criminalizing measures in their Municipal Codes and/or Ordinances.

This is not required by the regulations.

A housing needs assessment should be tied to demographic and other valid studies.

The consolidated plan and the annual action plan are based on actual data and valid demographic. Your comment fail to identify which areas should be tied studies or data and assume that the information in the plan is not correct.

There needs to be standards of what is an adequate housing unit to be built with federal funds. This would help assure the “quality of housing” as well define what an adequate space is. For example: 40sq.ft per unit and in the case of units for independent living, each unit having its own kitchen and bathroom.

The housing standards used by the City are available for review at the HOME program.

We believe that one of the Barriers to Affordable Housing for underserved citizens under the HOME Program is that people in fact don’t know about it. This barrier should be mentioned in the Action Plan, as well as strategies for overcoming it.

The Municipality understand that the barrier identified by the organization is addressed properly with proactive actions that include:

Outreach during housing fairs

Participation at the Affordable Housing Annual Conference

Periodic meetings with Asociación de CHDO

Direct Technical Assistance to NGO

The Action Plan needs to facilitate and promote two-way communication among all the stakeholders to allow the exchange of ideas, needs, changes, and opportunities at the base level.

The Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan are based on two way communication and consultation with required parties. Comments from all parties are integrated into the plan.

Comment Response

Provide information with regards to all the carry-over funds available (not exclusive to the 2011 appropriation).

The carryover funds by program are: CDBG $5,508,016.42 HOME $14,813,918.56 HOPWA $3,476,384.51 ESG $191,809.75 SECTION 108 $1,213,093.74

Create and include a communication plan to inform that there is no prohibition against using other federal, local, and state subsidized financing or Section 8 homeownership vouchers in conjunction with the Homeownership Assistance.

The Municipality of San Juan combines the HOME funds with all other homeownership funds available permitted by the regulation including federal, local, and state subsidized financing and Section 8.

The outreach for the distribution of HOME funds should include direct email to prior grantees, foundations, coalitions, and other means of communication besides a single newspaper.

Your comment will be noted, but The Municipality is in full compliance with the requirements of the regulations.
