Eligible activities vary but generally include housing and other property activities (except for new housing development), public facility and infrastructure improvements, public services, economic development, and assistance for people who are homeless. The City of Twin Falls' 2020-2024 Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive document promoting a coordinated approach to housing and community development needs using CDBG grant funds.

As the City continues to implement its CDBG program, it will work closely with public and private sector partners to promote interagency communication and planning and to coordinate health, mental health, and other service delivery to low-and moderate-income residents. In making annual CDBG project selections, it will consider how proposed activities connect public and assisted housing residents with health, mental health, and other services. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

Additionally, the City may provide support to or collaboration with local homeless housing and service providers in grant applications they make to the IHFA. In developing its 2020-2024 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, the City engaged with several organizations that serve residents who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to better understand the needs of the clients they serve. In particular, the planning team conducted stakeholder interviews with South Central Community Action Partnership, Valley House Homeless Shelter,Voices Against Violence, and Safe House.

Discussion Not applicable Annual Action Plan 28 2023 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j) Introduction: In the 2020-2024 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, several affordable housing issues emerged, including a spatial mismatch between affordable housing and jobs or amenities, a limited supply of starter housing at costs below$200,000 and limited supplies of housing for seniors and people with disabilities. A review of the current zoning codes does not immediately indicate zoning barriers to affordable housing. However,the city has acknowledged in its upcoming Uniform Development Code re-write that the special use permitting process has proven to slow down or hinder both commercial and residential development. Some residential housing types, such as rooming houses, are prohibited in single-family districts and allowed only by special use permit in multifamily and mixed-use districts.The proposed Uniform Development Code re-write increases the variety of housing permitted either by right or administratively through a conditional use permit, an administrative process designed to ensure code compliance and remove the public hearing process. A second policy issue which was addressed in the city's Comprehensive Plan was a need for more infill policies to encourage the redevelopment of vacant structures in downtown, and other areas. While the infill focus area is downtown Twin Falls, efforts to increase affordable housing supply through infill may model after infill processes occurring downtown.The current zoning code does not address infill outside of the Zoning Development Agreement,which is a special zoning tool designed to place unique conditions on parcel or projects outside of the underlying zoning. Special effort to regulate and incentivize infill may help increase affordable housing supply. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The Uniform Development Code is in the process of being re-written and, in its final version,will remove the special use permitting process which should improve the developmental review process for some housing types serving persons with disabilities and the elderly.The Uniform Development Code rewrite will also include the ability for property owners to build accessory dwelling units with a conditional use permit.That change to the code is anticipated to be implemented during the 2023 program year. Discussion: Not applicable Annual Action Plan 29 2023 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: This section details the City of Twin Falls' plans to ensure safe and affordable housing for its residents, meet underserved needs, reduce poverty, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private sector housing and community development agencies. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Residents and stakeholders who participated in the Consolidated Plan planning process noted the need for improved ADA accessibility, including for sidewalk and public and private buildings. During the 2023 program year, the City will work to address this need by making accessibility improvements to public restrooms at various locations throughout the city. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue the process of updating its Uniform Development Code during the 2023 program year.Anticipated edits include removal of the special use permitting process which should improve the developmental review process for some housing types serving persons with disabilities and the elderly. The code rewrite will also include the ability for property owners to build accessory dwelling units with a conditional use permit.That change is anticipated to be implemented during the 2023 program year. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards An important initiative emanating from HUD in the last decade is the reduction of lead-based paint hazards, and many jurisdictions around the country have focused on reaching this goal.The federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992) amends the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971, which is the law covering lead-based paint in federally funded housing.These laws and subsequent regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (24 CFR part 35) protect young children from lead-based paint hazards in housing that is financially assisted or being sold by the federal government. In any redevelopment activities,the City will assess whether lead-based paint might be present and, if so, follow the guidelines set forth in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Twin Falls' anti-poverty strategy focuses on helping all low-income households improve their economic status and remain above the poverty level. Current programs to reduce poverty through access to education and jobs are provided by the College of Southern Idaho, Southern Idaho Economic Development, and nonprofit organizations in the city. Emergency assistance is also provided by several Annual Action Plan 30 2023 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) nonprofit organizations in the city. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The unmet needs of rental housing affordable to low-income residents and social services for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness present an opportunity for the City to connect with organizations, affordable housing developers, and agencies working to address these needs in Twin Falls.The City will also continue to work within existing partnerships and coalitions, such as the Continuum of Care,to work toward meeting local housing and service needs.The City of Twin Falls will continue to work closely with state and local agencies and governments, nonprofit organizations, and other service providers to coordinate delivery of services to city residents.The City Manager Department and Planning and Zoning Department will continue to consult with various housing, homelessness, social service, elderly and disability resource agencies to gather data and identify service gaps. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City of Twin Falls will continue to be an active participant in the Idaho Balance of State Continuum of Care.The Continuum of Care brings together nonprofit, government, and business leaders to provide a shared approach to goals of ending homelessness. Membership includes emergency,transitional, and permanent housing providers; nonprofit social service organizations; and government agencies. Discussion: Not applicable.
