Spartanburg County Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
SECTION I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2 of 57
Introduction
Spartanburg County’s 2008-2012 Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plans
guide the activities funded by the allocation of federal resources received from the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The
Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document that identifies Spartanburg
County’s affordable housing and non-housing community development needs. It also
outlines strategies and steps that Community Development (CD) plans to take to
address those needs.
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is an
annual performance and evaluation report required by HUD. The report identifies
the level of progress and accomplishments as outlined in the goals and
objectives of Spartanburg County’s Consolidated Plan. This document will report
all funds spent by Spartanburg County in the 2009 fiscal year, as well as the
outcomes and successes of the activities undertaken.
Program allocation
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a program
designed to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a
suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for low to
moderate income persons. Spartanburg County identifies and concentrates its
efforts on areas that have a variety of needs ranging from quality of life
improvements to infrastructure improvements. As a part of its plan to aid in the
revitalization of low to moderate income communities, Spartanburg County
identifies targeted areas for a variety of projects. Along with area partners,
Spartanburg County is able to bring significant changes to one area through the
implementation of variety of projects.
The HOME Investment Partnership Program provides formula grants to localities
used by communities, often in partnership with local nonprofit groups, to fund a
wide range of activities that build, buy, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing for
rent or homeownership or provide direct rental assistance to low income people.
Nature and extent of changes in program objectives
Spartanburg County has made no changes to the priority objectives of the
Consolidated Plan (2008-2012) or the PY 2009 Annual Action Plan.
Monitoring of subrecipients
As a grantee to many organizations, Spartanburg County is vigilant to ensure
that all projects are managed consistently with the rules and regulations set forth
by HUD. To best comply with HUD regulations regarding managing
subrecipients, Spartanburg County has implemented and exercised a thorough
and consistent monitoring process.
Spartanburg County works on a one on one basis with each of its subrecipients
to ensure each grant is managed in compliance with federal regulations. Each
3 of 57
year, Community Development conducts an annual review of each subrecipient’s
financial and programmatic documents prior to the close out of the grant. When
a grant is drawn down to its final 10%, the review is scheduled and held. If a
discrepancy does exist within the subrecipient’s file, each subrecipient is given a
thirty (30) day period to resolve any issues. At the close of this period,
Spartanburg County issues a response letter detailing the results of the
monitoring. If there are significant concerns or findings within the files,
Spartanburg County may choose to either withhold the remaining 10% until the
issues are resolved, or to stop payment on the remainder of the grant.
It is a priority for Spartanburg County to provide each of its subrecipients with
technical assistance on an as needed basis to ensure compliance with federal
regulations. As a result of this one on one attention, subrecipients rarely receive
findings or concerns in monitoring sessions. Spartanburg County has recently
encouraged each of its subrecipients to institute a very accessible and organized
notebook system. With this system, there is a divider section for all documents,
thereby ensuring that all subrecipients have retained the necessary
documentation.
Overcoming gaps in institutional structures
Community Development has continued its efforts to collaborate with other
County departments and state agencies to facilitate more efficient solutions to
pervasive and persistent challenges of neighborhood revitalization. The
Community Development Department serves as a primary resource in
developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy in order to increase
community participation and ownership, leveraging of funds, and the promoting
of viable sustainability. We are presently involved with the Startex Neighborhood
Revitalization Plan in the Startex Community of Spartanburg County. Multiple
county departments and state agencies are collaborating with the County in the
implementation of this plan. The County has increased the level of
communication and interaction with outside agencies and other county
departments in an effort to develop effective revitalization plans for its targeted
neighborhoods. Both Building Codes and Environmental Enforcement
departments have collaborated with Community Development to assist residents
in the Arkwright and Startex areas with services related to their living conditions.
Also, Spartanburg County has been working with outside agencies to increase
awareness, education, and assistance available to the public.
Obstacles to meeting underserved needs
In 2009, requests for outside requests for project funding totaled approximately
$2,990,226 and in-house requests totaled $1,116,373 for a total of $4,106,599,
over two times more than the CDBG and HOME allocations of $1,883,267.

REHABILITATION
Owner Occupied Countywide Rehabilitation
Spartanburg County provided housing rehabilitation services to qualified LMI homes
that did not meet code standards. All homes were inspected by the Community
Development Construction Specialist and needs were outlined in a work write-up.
Once identified and prioritized, repairs amounting up to $30,000.00 were performed.
Owner occupied Targeted Area Rehabilitation
This project focuses its efforts specifically on the departmental targeted areas –
Startex and Arkwright. Similar to Countywide Housing Rehabilitation, a maximum of
$30,000.00 per house was used to perform extensive repairs on each home. At the
close of the project all homes were brought up to code standards.
Emergency Housing Rehabilitation
This project provided funding to LMI citizens of Spartanburg County whose homes
needed immediate mediation and rehabilitation. These funds are available to any
qualified resident whose home is not safe to live in due to emergency circumstances.
Lead Based Paint Testing
These funds were used for the testing and removal of Lead Based Paint hazards.
This is required for residential structures built prior to 1978. It will provide safe
housing to families within the unincorporated areas of Spartanburg County. This
service is provided at no additional cost to recipients of owner-occupied rehabilitation
and recipients of emergency rehabilitation.
By raising awareness education and maintaining a trained staff to interpret the
required test/survey results, the County has reduced the lead based paint hazards in
various areas throughout the County.
Housing Rehabilitation Counseling
The Community Development Department continues to provide rehabilitation
counseling to clients that have received our assistance. Spartanburg County provides
the home owners with information that will help to prevent the decline of the property
value as well as the safety of the home due to lack of maintenance.
RELOCATION
Temporary Relocation:
Spartanburg County provided temporary relocation assistance to five people from the
targeted Arkwright Community. Participants in the program were relocated because
they were recipients of housing replacement, or owner occupied rehabilitation
services. In FY09, Spartanburg County contracted with a local apartment complex to
save on costs of relocation, and to provide residents with a more home-like
environment.
38 of 57
Emergency Relocation:
Spartanburg County provided emergency temporary relocation assistance to two
persons in Spartanburg County. The individuals homes lack plumbing, insulation,
running water and electrical power and was condemned by Spartanburg County
Environmental Enforcement Department. Spartanburg County provided assistance
to them for seven days.
Relocation Housing:
In FY09, Spartanburg County embarked on a new plan for the relocation program.
Instead of relying on costly hotel and/or apartment costs, Community Development
has gained possession of housing unit for clients’ use. This duplex is was donated to
Spartanburg County and moved to a parcel of land in the Arkwright community. Each
side of the duplex has two bedrooms and one bathroom with a total of 2500 square
feet of livable space. After the duplex was moved, it was rehabilitated and brought
into compliance with ADA and building codes. Upon its completion, the house will
accommodate two separate families participating in Spartanburg County’s relocation
program. It is Spartanburg County’s hope that this duplex will provide residents with
a more comfortable and home-like experience.
HOUSING
Affordable Housing
Home funds were designated to assist with projects addressing affordable housing
for LMI citizens of Spartanburg County. The County promoted homeownership
opportunities through our partnerships with Spartanburg Board of Realtors,
Spartanburg Housing Authority, Habit of Humanity, Homebuilders Association of
Spartanburg, and the City of Spartanburg. Spartanburg County advertised the
homebuyer’s workshops on the County’s website with information on events and
dates regarding to homeownership activities. Spartanburg County Council adopted a
resolution proudly declaring June as Homeownership Month in Spartanburg County.
Spartanburg County and its partners are focus on promoting homeownership.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
An Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Study was completed in order to address
inadequate affordable housing supply in Spartanburg County. Spartanburg County is
committed to addressing impediments outlined in the study. The County identified
the agencies in Spartanburg that provided affordable housing. Our department spoke
with Jennifer Bradey, Executive Office for Home Builders Association of Greater
Spartanburg, to obtain information regarding all affordable housing in Spartanburg
County. Ms. Bradey provided a listing of the companies that advocate affordable
housing in Spartanburg County and directed us to the Home Builders Association
website where all of their membership information is located. Our office contacted
housing agencies to get updated information on the services they provide in
Spartanburg County. Builders and developers stated that they face many challenges
when trying to locate land and investors willing to finance affordable housing projects.
39 of 57
Spartanburg County has a listing of fifty – five local builders and developers
regarding their plans for addressing affordable housing for the elderly. Spartanburg
County has contacted agencies regarding their plans for continue affordable housing
for the elderly and has maintained a database of information for those seeking
affordable housing. We also contacted 45 lending institutions in Spartanburg County
to obtain a point of contact and basic information. In addition, we provided them with
information on our Homebuyers Workshops, as well as our yearly schedule. There
are 140 local churches that received quarterly emails and letters regarding
Spartanburg County Homeownership program and Fair Housing activities taken
place in Spartanburg County.
Spartanburg County collaborated with the City of Spartanburg to administer
Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding to increase the number of affordable
housing units throughout Spartanburg County. Our department identified fifty – four
properties throughout Spartanburg County scheduled to receive rehabilitation and
soon become affordable housing units in the areas of the Arkwright, Startex, and the
Howard Street communities.
Housing Counseling Workshops
Spartanburg County Community Development provided hosing counseling to low to
moderate-income citizens in Spartanburg County. The housing Counseling
workshops were held quarterly for anyone that wanted to gain the needed knowledge
in becoming a first time homeowner. The workshops provided information on credit,
budgeting, saving, fair housing, mortgage closings, homeowner’s insurance, and
home maintenance. Predatory lending and payday advance videos were showed to
participants at the workshops in order to highlight the effect of someone using those
types of services. Participants were allowed to attend free one on one housing
counseling for up to two years in order to continue to address any challenging credit
issues. Synovus Mortgage contributed literature containing refinancing and first time
home buying process. Participants received a Homebuyers Educational Certificate
after completing the home buyers workshop sessions. On February 27th and May
15th an 8 hour homebuyer workshop was provided to anyone interested in purchasing
a home. This class was offered instead of the 4 week course (also 8 hours). We
have found that offering the course in a condensed one day class on a Saturday
improved the likelihood of attendance. The poor housing market and credit crunch
has hindered the progress of our homeownership course primarily because it now
takes longer for a potential homebuyer to save or meet credit requirements. Many
lenders are only providing mortgages to individuals with nearly perfect credit history.
As a result, those who are trying to improve credit ratings will have to wait longer to
be approved for financing.
Fair Housing Activities
Spartanburg County Council passed resolution proclaiming April as Fair Housing
Month in Spartanburg County. The resolution is displayed in our office showing our
support for Fair Housing.
40 of 57
Spartanburg County collaborated with the City of Spartanburg, Spartanburg Housing
Authority, local colleges, churches, banks, senior centers, after school programs,
family self-sufficiency programs, boarding homes, local homeless shelters, apartment
complexes, girl scouts, and local day cares to advocate about Fair Housing. The
County collaborated with City of Spartanburg to provide free public services
announcements in Spanish and English on radio stations; and an advertisement on
channel 7& 62 during Fair Housing Month. Billboards were displayed in high traffic
areas and in Hispanic communities. The Fair Housing hotline telephone number was
displayed on the Sparta bus system, as well as in an ad in the Spartanburg Herald
Journal during the month of April. Literature, flyers, and advertisements advocating
Fair Housing were also dispersed throughout Spartanburg County at weekly
activities.
In FY09, Spartanburg County used a few new tactics to broaden its audience.
Throughout the month of April, Spartanburg County advertised a commercial about
Fair Housing on 107.3 JAMZ, a radio station that has a predominantly LMI and
minority listener base. In addition, a “banner” ad was placed on the 107.3 JAMZ
website. The best part of our outreach was our interview that aired on “Pause for the
Cause”. This show airs on Sunday mornings, and draws the largest audience of any
other radio show during the same hour. In the interview, a staff member discussed
Fair Housing, Fair Housing Month and further explained tenant rights. In addition,
important information regarding discrimination claims was shared. Spartanburg
County plans to continue its efforts to raise awareness of Fair Housing laws in the
upcoming year.
Spartanburg County Fair Housing Outreach:
Spartanburg County provided widespread outreach efforts throughout the county to
bring consciousness to citizens regarding their right to fair housing and related
issues. Spartanburg County conducted fair housing weekly activities throughout
Spartanburg County. In FY09, the primary focus of Fair Housing outreach was to
educate a “new” audience. This year, we specifically tried to reach beyond renters,
residents, and prospective homeowners to legislators, business leaders, lawyers,
landlords, and community organizations. Fair housing workshops were held and
flyers were distributed at local colleges, churches, banks, senior centers, after school
programs, family self-sufficiency programs, boarding homes, local homeless shelters,
apartment complexes, girl scouts, local day care centers, and county & city events.
The participants received handouts, flyers, pads, and pens that included information
on the local and national contact numbers for anyone that needed to report a Fair
Housing compliant. Spartanburg County provided fair housing handouts in Spanish
to the Hispanic citizens in Spartanburg County. A listing of fifty – one builders that
provide affordable housing in Spartanburg County is available for all citizens of
Spartanburg County in our in- house database.
In February 2010, a representative from Community Development spoke at a
workshop in coordination with the Spartanburg Housing Authority’s self sufficiency
program (PCC). Fair Housing education dovetailed rather well with the life skills
curriculum. At this meeting, promotional items were handed out (jar openers, pads,
41 of 57
pens, pencils, cups) were distributed as a means to remind residents of the Fair
Housing Hotline, and to spread awareness. The following month, March, our Fair
Housing coordinator gave a seminar to the Spartanburg County Board of Realtors at
the Public Library. This seminar was put on in partnership with the Board, and was
open to the public. Its primary focus was to reach any potential homebuyer and
increase awareness as to Fair Housing rights. Approximately 40 people attended
this seminar. April was both CDBG month, and Fair Housing month and therefore
our department held significantly more programming. Throughout the month of April,
a “banner” was placed on the COX radio station 107.3 JAMZ website. This banner
advertised the Fair Housing Hotline, specifically. In addition, a radio commercial
explaining housing discrimination aired approximately 72 times. This commercial
also gave information regarding the course of action to be taken if discrimination
were to occur. 107.3 JAMZ has nearly 36,000 listeners from Spartanburg County. It
has the largest African American listener base, and our commercials reached nearly
1,842,822 people in the upstate. Of this fan base, 29% is LMI and 34% are renters.
In addition, this station ranks #1 for Women aged 18-49 and #1 Adults 25-54. At the
end of April, Spartanburg County held a Fair Housing Forum (4.22.10), partnered in a
Neighborhood Conference (4.24.10), participated in an Urban League job fair, and
held a Fair Housing Seminar with DSS. In addition, Brenda Oglesby spoke at the
Spartanburg Board of Realtors Quarterly meeting, where over 600 members were
present. Each of these events provided Spartanburg County with an opportunity to
reach the community and broaden its impact. Throughout the summer months,
information was disseminated to various agencies and non profits.

SECTION VI: CDBG NARRATIVE
44 of 57
CDBG Narrative
Spartanburg County undertakes a significant number of projects directed at improving the
health and well being of its citizens. Through our citizen participation process, projects are
identified and implemented in accordance with the goals and objectives of the department’s
Five Year Consolidated Plan.
Public Service Activities:
The 2009 program year yielded a high level of benefit – wide ranging various
demographics and programs. Spartanburg County supported multiple agencies
ranging from youth programs to emergency shelter services for the homeless. The
various agencies provided services to varying sectors of the population in
Spartanburg County—including the homeless. During our application process,
Community Development was careful to select those agencies that best served the
low to moderate income population throughout the county. Each of these agencies
were well suited to improve the quality of life for the LMI population, and covered a
wide range of geographic areas.
The majority of funding allocated to public service agencies is used to pay for the
operations of the program. However in some instances, funds are used to pay for
other services or supplies. The support provided to public service agencies not only
assists established non-profit organizations, but it also aids organizations that are still
in the early stages of development. The Startex Tucapau Community Action
Association is a prime example of such an organization. This organization is growing
and developing into an active community organization, providing its citizens with the
opportunity to be involved in improving their neighborhood. The majority of the public
service organizations funded by Spartanburg County leverage significant amounts of
funding, however in some instances the county is the primary source.
Community Development Activities:
Spartanburg County has identified Startex, SC as its targeted community to receive
infrastructure dollars. The department has spent extensive time with the local
community organization evaluating and prioritizing its needs. In FY2009, the majority
of community development activities were directed at improving public infrastructure.
Perhaps the most significant project entailed the re-surfacing of 12 roads in the
Startex Targeted Area. These roads had not been surfaced in decades, and as a
result residents were provided with a significant improvement of service. The project
was done in coordination with Spartanburg County Public Works department. The
partnership allowed Public Works to direct its funding to other projects and therefore
was able to better serve the needs of residents. In addition, Spartanburg County’s
partnership with Startex Jackson Wellford Duncan Water District has come to a close
as the project was completed. ADA compliant sidewalks were constructed
45 of 57
throughout the mill village as new water lines and appurtenances were installed at
each home. Residents have experienced better water service, and infrastructure that
encourages more pedestrian travel.
Spartanburg County has formed partnerships with other agencies in an effort to enact
citizen based changes. As a result of community meetings, Spartanburg County met
with Spartanburg County Public Works and SCDOT in order to solve a major traffic
issue in Startex. Large dump trucks and tractor trailers use the community’s main
street as a thoroughfare for deliveries and often travel at speeds that are well above
regulations. In addition, stone retaining walls and angled streets created blind spots
for drivers trying to enter Main Street. As a result of our mutual collaboration,
SCDOT installed a 3 way stop at the Post Office Intersection in order to slow traffic.
This project did not use CDBG dollars, but was initiated and ultimately considered as
a result of staff time and concern.
Projects such as these have not only improved public safety, but have also promoted
activity (primarily physical) within the community. With these improvements, Startex
now has increased capacity for future development.
Health and Human Services
Spartanburg County Community Development Department has the responsibility of
providing staff support and some financial assistance to two major health and human
service boards and two very active committees.
Spartanburg County Disabilities and Special Needs Board
The Spartanburg County Disabilities and Special Needs Board has been in existence
since 1977 and is composed of a County Council appointed nine member Board
whose membership is represented by very active parents and other passionate
members of the community. Community Development Department offers assistance
in the areas of providing staff support, meeting space, keeping minutes, membership
records and convening all important meetings. The DSN Board is active in
collaboration with other service providers and interested citizens in making sure that
all current issues of the disability community are kept in front of our county and state
leaders. Various events and activities are held throughout the year in collaboration
with other disability organizations. The Carolina Miracle League provides
recreational opportunities for those who are interested in playing with a baseball team
on a specially designed baseball field for people with disabilities. The local DSN
Board was awarded an $8900 for 2009-2010 grant to assist in providing support for
the Board’s various activities. Due to state budgetary constraints, subsequent
funding amounts are unknown at this point.
This past year, the DSN board coordinated with the Charles Lea Center to host a
luncheon to raise awareness to some of the more pressing disability issues such as
family support for respite and extra care for the elderly with disabled older children.
All members of County Council and the county’s State Delegation to the South
Carolina Legislature were invited. Service providers were present and set up venues
46 of 57
that displayed what specific services they offered. It proved to be a successful
gathering of all the important players.
Community Domestic Violence Coordinating Council
The Community Domestic Violence Coordinating Council is composed of fifteen
community members that are appointed by County Council. The composition of the
Council is reflective of the geographical make-up of the county as well as major
service providers and interested citizens. Each judicial district in South Carolina is
required by state law to have a council and this council is to be led by the Solicitor of
each judicial district. Spartanburg County provided staff support, keep minutes,
membership records and participate in major events and activities.
One of the major events of the CDVCC is its annual conference in October that
provides information, education and professional training for judges, social workers,
law enforcement, psychologists, ministers and others who have a vested interest in
domestic violence. This past October, an annual Balloon Vigil was held in October to
highlight victims and their families of domestic violence.
Elder Abuse Committee
A major committee that works under the auspices of the Council is a group called the
Elder Abuse Committee that focuses exclusively on issues that impact the elderly.
These issues are abuse, neglect and exploitation. Education, information,
collaboration and deep commitment are the things that bind this group together.
HIV-AIDS Committee
A second major committee that is supported by Community development is the HIVAIDS Committee. This group is composed of some 15-20 members, meets quarterly
and consists primarily of the major service providers in the county. They are
responsible for publishing a Spartanburg County Perspective which corroborates all
the specific detail related to the HIV-AIDS issue. Materials are available for local,
state, national, and global facts about aids. This publication is available in hard
copies and on line at www.spartanburgcounty.org. Various testing days are held
throughout the year and the major event is the World Aids Day held annually in
December of each year. Trainings and educational activities were also interspersed
over the course of the year
