2015 Program Year Project Accomplishments
The following accomplishments reflect the impact of programs to the community from the 2015 CDBG
and HOME Program.
Housing Programs
The effects of Hurricane Ike in 2008 on the housing units of the Island were still being assisted under the
CDBG-Disaster Recovery Housing Program. Many citizens were without insurance and others received
inadequate assistance to make the repairs to their housing. With the majority of the substandard
housing also being damaged by the storm, citizens were counting on the disaster housing program for
their assistance. From the start of the Disaster Program and through the 2015 grant year, the Disaster
Housing Program has rehabilitated or reconstructed a total of approximately 1,300 units under Phase 1
and 2. Many of the residents applied to the City’s program for assistance due to the length of time it
took for assistance from the Disaster Program or their inability to qualify for Disaster assistance. The
City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program has developed a list of prospective applicants from the
homeowner contacts that it works through as funding for housing rehabilitation becomes available.
The following priorities and specific objectives were addressed during the 2015 Program Year. The City
has identified that the housing priorities and objectives will primarily focus on assistance for owneroccupied and homeownership projects in an effort to assist in the increase of homeownership. The ACS
2010-2014 Census reflects the owner-occupied housing unit rate as 45.1%. This is far below the US rate
of 64.4% and the Texas rate of 62.7%.

Project Summary
All CDBG activities funded in the 2015 grant year were used to benefit one (1) of the three (3) national
objectives of the Community Development Block Grant Program. The City expended 100% of its CDBG
project funds during the program year for activities that benefited low-moderate income persons. The
CDBG program met the overall benefit certification that at least 70% of the CDBG funds were allocated
towards activities that benefit low and moderate-income people. The City also ensured that individual
activities met a national objective to provide a benefit to persons where at least 51% were of low and
moderate-income status. All of the CD projects were designed to be of benefit to the low-moderate
income population either by designation to a low-moderate income area or a direct benefit to lowmoderate income clientele. Since the City of Galveston has a low-moderate income percentage of
55.96%, CDBG funds are primarily directed to activities that provide benefits on a citywide available
basis to low-moderate income individuals. The citywide activities include housing rehabilitation activities
and youth recreational/educational activities. The identification and correction of code violations was
conducted in citywide low-moderate income neighborhoods. The public infrastructure and
improvement activities are located in low-moderate income areas as previously identified. Each of these
activities provides benefits to primarily low-moderate income persons and indirectly aids in the
prevention of slum and/or blighted areas. The direct service activities are open to residents on a
citywide basis and will provide benefits to low-moderate income persons or families as measured
through in-take documentation and determined by median family income limits provided by HUD.
The City met its CDBG timeliness ratio on April 2, 2016. The HOME deadlines were met as follows: 2011
disbursements and 2011 CHDO disbursements by the deadline of June 30, 2016. The commitments
deadline will be September 30, 2016 for 2014 HOME funds and 2014 CHDO funds. The CHDO
commitments are met and the City has projects lined up to meet the HOME funds deadline.
Leveraging Resources
The CDBG Disaster Recovery Round 1 funds of $242M for housing and non-housing projects is still
assisting in the City’s efforts in rebuilding the housing stock to over 800 households and infrastructure
that was damaged by Hurricane Ike. The Disaster Housing Program is utilizing Round 2 funding during
this reporting period to begin assisting an estimated 500 households. The non-housing disaster program
is continuing work on projects from Round 2 funding.
Due to the storm damage, FEMA projects continued to provide resources to the City in its recovery
processes.
The City utilized funding from the Federal Transportation Administration, Federal Highway
Administration, Texas Department of Transportation, Department of Justice, Dept. of Homeland
City of Galveston
25
Security, Texas General Land Office, and Federal Aviation Administration to meet its community needs
including Island Transit, Public Works, the City’s Scholes Airport, the Planning Dept., and the Police Dept.
As the primary assistance for the homeless services, the Continuum of Care coordinated through the
Gulf Coast Homeless Coalition for provision of homeless services under the Texas Homeless Network.
The United Way of Galveston Capital Campaign provides funding to assist many of the social service
agencies located in the City that provide public services to the low-moderate income residents.
Leverage totaling $319,000 is provided for the 2015 CDBG funded projects as follows: approximately
$229,000 from general funds in prorated salaries of managers and other staff implementing CDBG
funded City projects and $90,000 in operational costs for City facilities housing CDBG projects. The
Infrastructure Project to install sidewalk improvements will be leveraged with an ADA ramp installation
project at bus stops with some of the ramps located in the sidewalk project sites funded from a US Dept.
of Transportation FTA New Freedom Grant totaling $378,072.
The HOME Match requirement is 25% of the participating jurisdiction’s project funds drawn for
affordable housing. The City of Galveston is determined by HUD to be in fiscal distress and receives a
50% reduction of match, making its match contribution at 12.5%. The HOME match required will be
provided by the City and CHDO. The City of Galveston will satisfy the Match Requirements by using
existing match carried over from previous years, match commitments obligated by subrecipients using
HOME dollars, waived permit fees for HOME funded projects, and the City will use Rental Rehabilitation
funds in conjunction with the HOME funds to be counted toward Match. The City’s Affordable Housing
program utilizes cash contributions of non-federal funds, waived fees and charges, donated land, and
supportive services for rehabilitation projects benefiting low-moderate income persons. Subrecipients
receiving HOME funds provide matching contributions for their affordable housing projects. The
following table identifies the 2015 HOME Match.

Managing the Process
The City of Galveston’s Grants and Housing Department is designated as the lead agency for
coordinating and implementing the Consolidated Plan and the 1-year Action Plan.
The Grants and Housing Department supports the concept of staff development for members of its
team. Staff members are provided access to community development training programs offered by
HUD, HUD contractors, and others. The access to training and development initiatives not only keeps
staff abreast of new community development trends and reporting tools, but also the requirements of
citizen participation and consolidated planning to ensure citizens access to the program, especially lowmoderate income citizens.
City of Galveston
26
Prior to the start of the program activities, Grants & Housing staff facilitated Implementation Meetings
with each funded City Department. The purpose of the meetings is to ensure that the Department staff
is cognizant of the City and Federal requirements associated with the CDBG and HOME funds. The scope
of services, budgets and schedules are reviewed and discussed. The staff provides a booklet outlining
the Guidelines and Instructions to each City Department. The booklet covers all reporting (beneficiary
and financial) processes, financial recordkeeping, monitoring, and other programmatic aspects of
administering a CDBG or HOME funded activity. Any and all questions posed by the Departments are
addressed by Grants’ staff and if necessary, follow-up meetings are scheduled to assist the funded entity
prior to the implementation of the programs.
The Grants Division was responsible for administrative oversight of the CDBG Program (non-housing)
activities for compliance with HUD’s regulatory requirements including all Federal Labor Standards
provisions, EEO Compliance, citizen participation, preconstruction conferences, environmental reviews
and monitoring program activities. Staff prepared and submited numerous programmatic performance
reports to HUD, City Council and citizen groups in the areas of program management, Labor Standards
Enforcement, Contractor/Subcontractor Activity, program beneficiaries and fiscal accountability. Grants’
staff also are responsible for approving all CDBG and HOME funded expenditures.
The Housing Division was responsible for the administration of the Housing Rehabilitation Program and
the HOME Investment Partnerships Program for compliance with HUD’s regulatory requirements. Staff
coordinated all housing related programs. All housing rehabilitation projects are monitored to ensure
the work is in conformance with local, state, and federal codes and regulations. Staff also provided
housing related reports to HUD, City Council and the public.
Due to the City’s management efforts, all activities were in compliance with the program and the
comprehensive planning requirements.
