Historically, since 1986 Sanford citizens have benefited from the partnership with Seminole
County Government as a municipal jurisdiction member of its Urban County Agreement with the
Department of Housing & Urban Development (US HUD) for Community Development Block
Grant Program funding opportunities. During this twenty-four (24) year period, many projects
have been completed to assist Sanford's low and moderate income citizens in realizing a higher
more satisfactory quality of life.
3
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
For FY 2010/11 however, the federal government established the City of Sanford as a
community entitled to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds
with a qualifying population of 53,100'.As a recipient of these federal funds,the City is required
to prepare a Five-Year Consolidated Strategic Plan and an Annual Action Plan to direct the use
of these funds. The City has therefore prepared their first Five Year Consolidated Plan for 2010-
2014 and its FY 2010-2011 Annual Action Plan.
For Program Year (PY) 2010 (October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011) the U.S.
Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) has allocated $485,388 in Community
Development Block Grant funds to the City of Sanford,Florida.
The designation as an entitlement community for the City of Sanford brings closure to its role as
a participating member of Seminole County's Community Development Program and a new
beginning for Sanford to formulate its own local goals and objectives for community
development and improvement.
Format
The City's Five Year Strategy follows the HUD required regulations in question and answer
format. It is designed to provide greater understanding of the planning process involved as well
as provide a rationale for its conclusions with respect to the City's community development and
affordable housing needs.
,Lead Agency:
The City of Sanford Community Improvement Department will act as lead agency for the
development and implementation of the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan and 2010-2011 Action Plan
as approved by Sanford's City Commission on August 9,2010.
Consolidated Plan Process:
By addendum to this submission, the city has adopted a Citizen Participation Plan and
Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Plan that meet HUD requirements.
As a first year CDBG entitlement participant, the goal of the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan is the
establishment of a unified vision for community development and affordable housing needs;
strengthening partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, consider both
for-profit and non-profit organizations while meeting the needs of low and moderate income
citizens.
The intent of the strategic planning process was to provide opportunities for setting local priority
needs; objectives and outcomes through a coordinated effort including extensive citizen
participation, outreach and interagency involvement.
The development of the City of Sanford's Five-Year(2010-2014)Consolidated Plan,provides an
action course for revitalization. It builds on local assets and coordinates a response to the
identified needs of Sanford's low income communities. This process serves to integrate
'Shimberg Center for Housing Studies,2007 If

City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
economic, environmental, physical community development and housing needs, set priorities,
and develop measureable strategies for meeting those needs and determining final outcomes.
In essence, the City of Sanford's Consolidated Plan describes in detail, the City's priority
community development and housing needs eligible for assistance under the CDBG program,
including an assessment of the housing, homeless, public facilities, infrastructure improvements,
public services, accessibility, economic development, and planning needs.
The Plan further states the City's long-term and short-term community development objectives
and describes the manner in which they address the national objectives of the CDBG Program.
Consultations:
Consultations and Outreach included the following:
• Public hearings
• Discussions with Interagency city staff, neighborhood forums, and county staff personnel
• Special studies(needs assessment surveys)
• Review of prior planning documents
• Local and Regional non-profit and for profit organizations
Public Meetings were held to inform the public of funding availability, and solicit information
through the use of survey tools in determining local needs and assessment. The first public
hearing was held on June 3, 2010 at 7:00 PM at Sanford, City Hall.
This plan has also drawn information from a number of other plans, documents, and web sites in
order to coordinate and collate data gathering in support of developing local program goals and the
allocation of CDBG funding. These include: the Housing Element of the City of Sanford's 2009
updated Comprehensive Plan, the Community Redevelopment Agency's collaborated Master
Redevelopment Plan, East Central Florida Regional Planning Council resources, Regional
Continuum of Care and , the 1990 and 2000 Census of Population and Housing Data, the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation,and University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies.
General Rationale for Allocating Investments:
• Community Development
The City will prioritize the use of these funds to complete revitalization of its low income
neighborhoods. Capital Projects begun utilizing CDBG funds allocated to the city by
Seminole County will continue to be a priority now that the City has been granted
entitlement status.
• Slum/Blight
The city will continue to allocate the use of CDBG funds to remove unsafe, dilapidated and
unsightly structures from low income neighborhoods.
5
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
• Housing
Cost burdened families making less than 50% of median income will continue to receive
priority from Seminole County's affordable rental/owner programs.
• Homeless
Seminole County and its city jurisdictions support the Homeless priorities as developed by the
Orlando Region Continuum of Care and its Homeless Services Network. The priorities continue
to focus on homeless prevention, families with children, and the development of transitional
housing opportunities.This program operates county-wide.
Overall Priorities
Successful community development programs traditionally focus on three key areas:
• Livable Communities;
• Economic and Individual Self-Sufficiency,
• Affordable Housing.
Livable Communities
Creating livable communities will require that the City address the physical improvement needs
of its low-income target area, and develop a multi-year plan to improve the area on a systematic
basis.
.fordable Housing
The City has identified the following 5-Year Housing Priorities and Objectives:
Housing Priorities:
• Maintain the existing housing stock through effective and continued code
enforcement.
• Identify possible vacant lots or properties where demolished vacant or dilapidated
housing structures have been removed for use as potential affordable housing.
• Provide housing rehabilitation for owner-occupied housing units.
• Provide assistance through the Federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP).
Housing Objectives:
• Bring 10 units up to applicable codes.
• Identify 4 vacant lots as potential affordable housing opportunities
• Rehabilitate 5 housing units?
• LIHEAP funds will serve approximately 3,160 clients in the program this year at a
total cost of$1,150,825.00
Homeless Needs
The City of Sanford has limited funding for social services; however, it may set aside funding
from the CDBG Program, as funding is available. Contact is maintained with the Homeless
Services Network (HSN) to assess the need of addressing the problem of homelessness in
z Subject of County SHIP availability

City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
Sanford.
Considering the City's extremely limited resources, including a relatively small CDBG
allocation, the City has limited options in treating the homeless problem. Financial participation
with HSN will assist in treating the problem to some degree.
The City uses the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida to assess the problems of
homelessness in Sanford and to provide what limited resources it can to address those problems.
The City has identified the following 5-Year Homeless Priorities and Objectives:
Homeless Objectives:
• To support the regional Orlando, Orange, Osceola, Seminole Continuum of Care and
to sustain the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida as funds become
available.
• The City will continue to make referrals to the Homeless Services Network of Central
Florida
Homeless Priorities:
The Continuum's highest priorities are ending chronic homelessness, housing families
with children, and providing shelters and transitional housing.
The largest Homeless Shelter in Seminole County (Rescue Outreach Mission of Sanford,
Inc.) is located within Sanford's Goldsboro target area and has a men's shelter, and a

Through the Consolidated Plan process, needs have been recognized for the CDBG program.
These needs include infrastructure improvements, public facilities and code enforcement
activities in the City's low/moderate income target areas. Due to the older nature of the target
areas, public facilities, infrastructure, and housing are somewhat deteriorated. The need for the
demolition of unsafe structures and the potential purchase of buildable lots for affordable
housing providers was also identified during the evaluation process.
The City has identified the following 5-Year Community Development Priorities and Objectives:
Community Development Priorities:
• Rehabilitate and upgrade the infrastructure in the low/mod target areas.
• Make improvements to or develop new public facilities.
• Provide public services to low and moderate income residents.
• Provide for the demolition and clearance of unsafe, vacant, and dilapidated structures.
• Design and install sidewalks in target areas and low income service areas
Community Development Objectives:
• Rehabilitate two streets and/or accompanying storm-water drainage facilities to
eliminate deteriorating streets and flooding instances.
• Design and install 600 linear feet of sidewalks in target areas and low income
service areas.
• Improve public facilities.
• Provide public services to at least 400 low/mod persons.

City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
• Demolish and clear at least 15 unsafe, vacant, and/or dilapidated structures on a
citywide basis to eliminate spot blight.
Anti-Poverty Strategy
The Anti-Poverty Strategy is an effort to reduce the number of people earning low-to moderate-
income wages and/or at risk of homelessness. This Strategy describes community activities to
reduce the number of poverty level families and households in Sanford through the efforts of
Habitat for Humanity in Seminole County, and the Homeless Services Network of Central
Florida ro rams.
P g
Non-Homeless Special Needs
The subpopulations identified with a high priority level are the female head of households,
elderly, the frail elderly, and the physically disabled. To help that need, Sanford is allocating
public services as follows:
Public Services for Employment and Training $ 31,450
Public Services for Seniors and for Youth $ 40,061
Facilities available to meet non-homeless needs include:
• Central Florida Family Center which provides medical services for local and Seminole
County residents.
• The Grove Counseling Center, Inc. is located in Sanford and provides Alcohol & Drug
Counseling.
• The Central Florida Dream Center which provides programs for youth, adults and
families to equip and empower them to achieve self sufficiency to become contributing
members of society.
• Meals on Wheels, Etc. This organization housed in Sanford, provides transportation,
home delivered meals, neighborhood dining, chore and home repairs, homemaking, as
well as administration of the weatherization assistance program in Seminole County.
Evaluation of Past Performance
Over the years, the City of Sanford's low and moderate income residents have benefited
tremendously from the City's participation in the Seminole County CDBG program through
improved infrastructure and housing, updated public facilities, and expanded public services. In
general, the quality of living has been greatly enhanced because of the new and improved water
and sewer lines; enhanced stormwater drainage; and new curbs, sidewalks and street lights that
were funded by way of CDBG funds.
During the past ten years the City of Sanford has successfully completed thirteen projects
utilizing approximately $3.8 million of Seminole County CDBG funding. These projects have
ranged from several hundred thousand dollars to over $2 million dollars. Also, these projects
have been phased and spanned from one to several years from implementation to completion.
The following is a partial list of recently completed or currently in the process of completing
CDBG projects:

Definitions:
Any housing problems: cost burden greater than 30% of income and'or overcrowding and/or without complete kitchen or

plumbing facilities. .Elderly households: 1 or 2 person household, either person 62 years old or older. Renter: Data do not
include renters living on boats, RVs or vans. This excludes approximately 25,000 households nationwide. Cost Burden: Cost
burden is the fraction of a household's total gross income spent on housing costs.For renters,housing costs include rent paid by
the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.

According to the above table, 32.9% of households in Sanford are cost-burdened with (housing
costs over 30% of income), and 12.9 % severely cost-burdened with (housing costs over 50% of
income). Both percentages are slightly higher with renters than with owners.
Both extremely low (with incomes not exceeding 30% of the area median income) and low
income households (with incomes not exceeding 50% of the median income) are at high risk.
These income groups are often "one paycheck away from homelessness," and any costly
happenstance (a major car repair, an emergency room visit, a drastic rise in the cost of fuel, etc.),
has a much higher impact on these income groups than on others.

PROJECTED INCREASE IN COST-BURDENED HOUSEHOLDS
Another table that might be useful in planning is the projected increase in severely cost-
burdened, low-income households over multi-year periods. Governments could P lan to seek
construction of units to meet this growth in low-income households that would be unable to
afford housing without assistance. While this would not address the existing need, it would keep
the affordable housing shortage from worsening.

The above tables illustrate that the housing cost burden for renters is 69.7% higher than the cost
burden for owners. This underscores the need for additional Section 8 vouchers and more
affordable rental housing units with the City of Sanford.
Substandard Housing for the City of Sanford
Housing units are considered to be substandard if they are overcrowded,do not have heat, or
lack complete kitchens or plumbing. In 2000,
• 919 housing units (6.5%of all units)in Sanford were overcrowded,meaning that they
housed more than one person per room, compared to a statewide percentage of 6.5%.
• 116 units(0.8%)in Sanford did not use home heating fuel, compared to a statewide
percentage of 1.8%.
• 91 units(0.6%) in Sanford lacked complete kitchen facilities, compared to a statewide
percentage of 0.5%.
• 65 units(0.4%) in Sanford lacked complete plumbing facilities, compared to a
statewide percentage of 0.4%.

Elderly Elderly population estimates for Seminole County are expected to increase by 12.1%by the year 2015.
Elderly households over 80+years of age most likely contain one member considered to be frail elderly.
• Physically Disabled
The Shimberg Center estimates the current number of Physically Disabled homeowners at
9,645, with 3,735 of them needing housing assistance. Surprisingly, there are twice as many
owners as renters in this category in need of assistance. The number of disabled renters is
estimated at 2,855, with 1,940 of them in need of housing assistance.
• Handicapped accessible housing improvements therefore may be a significant need. Other needs
of the physically disabled are generally transportation and medical and social-skills services for
the seriously disabled.
• The Developmentally Disabled (including those shown as Severely Mentally Ill in the
Subpopulation chart) require life-skills/employment training and often, psychiatric care. The
State has found that the majority of this special needs population, if not hospitalized, lives with
their families and that only a small number need supportive housing.
• Housing to Serve Persons with HIV/Disabilities
The City of Sanford is not a HOPWA recipient.
There is no official information available on the specific types of housing that is required to meet
the needs of people with AIDS/disabilities. However, a significant portion of the City housing stock
is comprised of single-family units, which are built at grade. This type of unit is most
easily/economically retrofitted for special needs.
• Other Subpopulations
Any categories of special needs that are not included in this section did not have accurate, useable
counts for the County.

Lead-based Paint 91.205 (e)
Estimate the number of housing units*that contain lead-based paint hazards, as defined in section
1004 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, and are occupied by
extremely low-income, low-income,and moderate-income families.
The Seminole County Health Department has no tracking process for lead-based paint. It is
estimated that approximately 36 %(or) 8,635 of the housing units in Sanford were built prior
to 1978. Although it is possible that a majority of these contain residual lead-based paint,
many have undoubtedly been repainted many times over, and have therefore have
encapsulated any lead-based paint.
The overall goal of the City is to reduce or eliminate lead-based paint hazards and P revent
childhood lead poisoning. This will be accomplished through a coordinated effort of public
and private sectors. All housing proposed for rehabilitation is screened by the year built to
determine possible LBP hazard. The owner is given the EPA Fact Sheet - Identing Lead
Hazards in Your Home and the EPA publication - Protect Your Family From Lead In Your
Home. During the feasibility inspection, if the inspector identifies a potential LBP problem,
he notifies the owner and may test the suspect area with a swab or take a sample to be
processed through the County Health Department.
In every program where federal funds are expended on a housing unit, the City incorporates the
current procedures for hazard reduction or LBP abatement guidelines as defined in 24 CFR Part
35.
Actions proposed or being taken to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards
Due to funding limitations, the City, in conjunction with Seminole County occasionally funds
and subsidizes city based affordable housing development. This is accomplished through the
encouragement and development of new affordable units, or the rehabilitation of existing units
built after 1977, as opposed to rehabilitating pre-1978 units, both for renters and homebuyers, in
order to increase the inventory of lead-free housing units. However, since the City and or
Seminole County also accepts and occasionally funds proposals to renovate existing housing
units (sometimes built prior to 1978), all housing units built prior to 1978 will be
comprehensively tested for lead-based paint. If such units contain lead-based paint and are
approved for funding, then they will be dealt with by encapsulating, abating, or clearing the lead-
based paint. Housing units with chipped or peeling lead-based paint will be avoided to the extent
feasible and possible, due to the anticipated expense, and owners of such units will be
encouraged to eliminate any hazards. In all situations, the City will comply with Federal
regulations (24 CFR 35) in dealing with lead-based paint in residential properties. Any treatment
or abatement of lead-based paint will be funded by participating agencies, but closely monitored
by the City and Seminole County.
Housing Market Analysis
23
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
HOUSING MARKET ANALYSIS 91.210
Refer to the Housing Market Analysis Table in the Needs.xls workbook
Based on information available to the j jurisdiction, describe the significant characteristics of the
housing market in terms of supply, demand, condition, and the cost of housing;the housing stock
available to serve persons with disabilities;and to serve persons with HP//AIDS and their
families.
Housing Market Characteristics
Due to the recent (the past 30 months) high foreclosure rate in the general area, there is less of
shortage of affordable housing in Sanford. While housing prices have plummeted during the
recent economic downturn, the situation contributes to higher than normal un-/under-
employment rate, along with a reluctance of local lenders to make mortgage loans to low/mod
income households. Consequently, the lowering of housing valuations has negatively affected
many local homeowners placing them in an upside down mortgage situation particularly if the
homeowners refinanced or purchased their homes during the economic housing boom. In many
cases, homeowners owe more than their property is currently valued at. Disabled persons, with
extremely limited incomes, are less likely to purchase a home and, realistically, can hardly afford
to rent affordably.
The vacancy rate is currently 4.4% for houses and apartments, in some part due to foreclosures.
Since the foreclosure rate began escalating in early 2007, many of those units have been sitting
vacant for some time, and have been undergoing deterioration. The majority of foreclosed units
are in need of some degree of rehabilitation. Housing values in Sanford have depreciated 30%
since the beginning of 2006, compared to the national average of 4.6% depreciation (as of April,
2009).
Affordable Housing Targeting
With the recent loss of State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding the ability to fund
affordable housing initiatives has severely hampered. Agencies such as Habitat for Humanity in
Seminole County have unable to continue with their housing plans to construct new single family
housing units. Therefore with available housing funds the emphasis is on persevering existing
housing stock and rehabilitation. During the next five years in all likelihood the agencies
producing affordable housing will once again begin production on a larger-scale.
Use of Funds (Affect on Housing Market)
The federally funded City of Sanford Housing Authority provides substantial housing to low
income residents. The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford has 480 units and 90 Section 8
Vouchers for a total of 570 units . This strength provides 480 units of affordable public housing
to low income families plus vouchers.
The available extensive public housing works to significantly reduce rental unit cost within the
city limits.
There is no direct city funding available for rental assistance, other than the Utility Assistance
Program. Additional program supporting rental assistance are the Seminole County Housing
Authority (outside the city located in Oviedo) and as previously mentioned the City of Sanford

Public and Assisted Housing 91.210 (b)
The City recognizes The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford, Florida (Authority) as an
integral entity in the provision of affordable housing to the lower income population. With
limited CDBG funds available to the City to pursue its own needs, priorities, objectives and
goals, the City encourages the Authority to seek other methods/sources of funding such as
federal, local and other in its search of ways to apply for and receive the financial resources
necessary for the Authority to maintain its units and meet the goals established in its CIP.
HUD on June 17, 2010, awarded $64,843,914.00 to public housing authorities in Florida. The
funds will allow these agencies to make major capital improvements to their public housing
units. This funding is part of$2.3 billion HUD awarded to 3,131 agencies across the U.S, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The funding is allocated through
HUD's Capital Fund Program C p ogram that provides annual funding to public housing authorities to
develop, and/or
modernize the
public housing in their communities.finance, P g unrties. This funding can
be used to make large-scale improvements such as new roofs and to make energy-efficient
upgrades to replace old plumbing and electrical systems. Of the $64,843,914 to public housing
authorities in Florida, The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford, Florida will be receiving
$791,021

City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
In cooperation with the public housing agency or agencies located within its boundaries,describe the
needs of public housing,including
• the number of public housing units in the jurisdiction,
• the physical condition of such units,
• the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing projects within the jurisdiction,
• the number of families on public housing and tenant-based waiting lists and
• results from the Section 504 needs assessment of public housing projects located within
its boundaries(i.e.assessment of needs of tenants and applicants on waiting list for
accessible units as required by 24 CFR 8.25).
Public housing delivery system
There are two Housing Authorities located in Seminole County. They are: The Housing
Authority of the City of Sanford and the Seminole County Housing Authority.
Both Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in the County have both, public housing units and
Section 8 vouchers. Until recently, both PHAs administered HOME TBRA for the County.
As required, both housing authorities have at least one public housing resident on their own
Boards of Commissioners.
The Seminole County Housing Authority also has an advisory board made up of public housing
residents, which meets quarterly to help in their strategic planning and in the development of
their Annual Plan.
The Sanford Housing Authority has a resident advisory board that meets twice annually to advise
on their Annual Plan, and they meet occasionally to advise their Board of Directors on the usage
of their Capital Fund.
The Executive Directors of both PHAs were canvassed for their perspective on their housing and
community development needs of Seminole County which also apply to the City of Sanford.
Their respective expressed needs are depicted in the following table:

HOMELESS INVENTORY 91.210 (c)
The jurisdiction shall provide a concise summary of the existing facilities and services(including a brief
inventory)that assist homeless persons and families with children and subpopulations identified in Table IA
or in the CPMP Tool Needs Table. These include outreach and assessment, emergency shelters and services,
transitional housing,permanent supportive housing,access to permanent housing, and activities to prevent
low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income)from becoming
homeless. This inventory of facilities should include (to the extent it is available to the jurisdiction)an
estimate of the percentage or number of beds and supportive services programs that are serving people that
are chronically homeless.
The jurisdiction can use the optional Continuum of Care Housing Activity Chart
and Service Activity Chart to meet this requirement.
The summary of existing facilities included below is provided by the Homeless Services Network (also the
Continuum of Care for the region)on a regional basis for Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties. The City of

Special Need Facilities and Services 91.210 (d)
Describe, to the extent information is available,the facilities and services that assist persons who are not
homeless but require supportive housing, and programs for ensuring persons returning from mental and
physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing.
Supportive housing facilities,all of which provide services,are listed in the previous section. In addition
to the supportive housing, the listed transitional housing developments are also available and provide
services for their residents. This is the most comprehensive information that is available.
Barriers to Affordable Housing 91.210 (e)
Explain whether the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing are
affected by public policies,particularly those of the local jurisdiction. Such policies include tax policy
affecting land and other property,land use controls,zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges,
growth limits, and policies that affect the return on residential investment.
The Sanford Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Section raises the following comments concerning
potential barriers to affordable housing within the city limits"Potential Impediments to Meeting Demand.
The potential hurdles include limited funding for affordable housing, implementation of policies promoting
urban infill and redevelopment, and development regulations which make housing development more
expensive housing.The City Commission does have the power to waive,discount,or defer impact fees for
affordable housing. These programs should be reviewed for success and potential for improvement.

Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income families and/or racial/minority
concentration)in which assistance will be directed.
Located close to downtown, are two predominantly and historically African-American neighborhoods
that comprise the City's two (2) designated target areas known as the Goldsboro and Georgetown
neighborhoods. Collectively, they contain the majority of the City's older, deteriorating housing stock.
In addition, this area also contains a number of older, growing obsolete, large- and small-scale
commercial facilities that are also deteriorating.
The map below depicts the geographic area of the City of Sanford and Map 2 depicts its low and
moderate income block group areas. Sanford is a predominately suburban community within the
Orlando metropolitan area. Substantial growth has taken place in the past 20-25 years. Growth through
the 1990s was tremendous.

Target Areas Low to Moderate Income by Block Group ` .x.".'t``'-r .r`"na
The majority of the City's CDBG funding has been and will continue to be directed to the City's target
areas, due to the need exhibited by the lack of adequate resources and the need to establish self-
sufficiency among its population. The major obstacle to meeting underserved needs is limited funding.
Florida's local governments are experiencing reduced funding due to recent tax referendum initiatives,
and decreased ad valorem and other taxes due to deflating property values, housing foreclosures with
high vacancy rates, loss of jobs, the closing of businesses, the resultant reduction of household spending,
and other factors due to slumping national and local economies. Unfortunately, this slump is inherited
by local non-profits,who are often assisted by local governments, and lower income citizens who, in the
past, have benefited by Sanford's program activities.
41
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
Although infrastructure improvements have been completed in Georgetown in the past, basic
infrastructure (streets, water/sewer lines, parks) in many parts of the low/mod target areas can still be
characterized in a state of deterioration. Additionally, these identified streets need rehabilitation and
installation of infrastructure improvements (CDBG funds may be used in future years for rehabilitation).
If applicable,identify the census tracts for Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas and/or any local targeted
areas.

Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for
HOPWA) (91.215(a)(1)) and the basis for assigning the priority (including the relative priority, where required)
given to each category of priority needs (91.215(a)(2)).
The census tract data provides the specific data used to identify and target low income households and
neighborhoods. The maps and narrative above provide detailed information concerning Sanford's most
needy households. These neighborhoods require a high percentage of public services and infrastructure
improvements therefore the goals and objectives for the next five years identified in this document will
be expended to improve their respective quality of life.
42
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
If appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the percentage of funds the jurisdiction plans to dedicate to
Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy areas and/or any local targeted areas.
Eighty percent (80%) of all CDBG funding will be expended to improve the quality of life for low
income clients by direct benefit public services or area benefit improvements.
Identib)any obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
Obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The major obstacle to meeting the City's underserved needs will continue to be the lack of financial
resources, including Federal (HOME) and State (SHIP) support. Local resources have lessened
significantly recently due to reduced ad valorem and other revenue,due to the current major recession.
The lack of available developable, vacant, residentially-zoned land will continue to put constraints on
the City's ability to provide affordable housing. Although housing prices have decreased significantly
due to the high foreclosure rate, many low/mod households are currently priced out of ownership due to
unemployment and under-employment.

General Rationale for Allocating Investments:
• Community Development
The City will prioritize the use of these funds to complete revitalization of its low income
neighborhoods. Capital Projects begun utilizing CDBG funds allocated to the city by Seminole
County will continue to be a priority now that the City has been granted entitlement status.
• Slum/Blight
The city will continue to allocate the use of CDBG funds to remove unsafe, dilapidated and
unsightly structures from low income neighborhoods.
• Housing
Cost burdened families making less than 50% of median income will continue to receive priority
from Seminole County's affordable rental/owner programs.
44
r
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
• Homeless
Seminole County and its city jurisdictions support the Homeless priorities as developed by the Orlando
Region Continuum of Care and its Homeless Coalition Network. The priorities continue to focus on
homeless prevention, families with children, and the development of transitional housing opportunities.
This program operates county-wide.
Overall Priorities
Successful community development programs traditionally focus on three key areas:
• Livable Communities;
• Economic and Individual Self-Sufficiency,
• Affordable Housing.
Livable Communities
Creating livable communities will require that the City address the physical improvement needs of its
low-income target area,and develop a multi-year plan to improve the area on a systematic basis.
Affordable Housing
The City has identified the following 5-Year Housing Priorities and Objectives:
housing Priorities:
• Maintain the existing housing stock through effective and continued code enforcement.
• Identify possible vacant lots or properties where demolished vacant or dilapidated housing
structures have been removed for use as potential affordable housing.
• Provide housing rehabilitation for owner-occupied housing units.
• Provide assistance through the Federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP).
Housing Objectives:
• Bring 10 units up to applicable codes.
• Identify 4 vacant lots as potential affordable housing opportunities
• Rehabilitate 5 housing units.'
• LIHEAP funds will serve approximately 3,160 clients will be served in the program this
year at a total cost of$1,150,825.00
Homeless Needs
The City of Sanford has limited funding for social services; however, it may set aside funding from the
CDBG Program, as funding is available. Contact is maintained with the Homeless Services Network
(HSN)to assess the need of addressing the problem of homelessness in Sanford.
Considering the City's extremely limited resources, including a relatively small CDBG allocation, the
City has limited options in treating the homeless problem. Financial participation with HSN will assist in
treating the problem to some degree.
Subject of County SHIP availability
45
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
The City uses the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida to assess the problems of homelessness
in Sanford and to provide what limited resources it can to address those problems.
The City has identified the following 5-Year Homeless Priorities and Objectives:
Homeless Objectives:
• To support the regional Orlando, Orange, Osceola, Seminole Continuum of Care and to
sustain the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida as funds become available.
• The City will continue to make referrals to the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida
,Homeless priorities:
The Continuum's highest priorities are ending chronic homelessness, housing families with
children,and providing shelters and transitional housing.
The largest Homeless Shelter in Seminole County (Rescue Outreach Mission of Sanford, Inc.) is
located within Sanford's Goldsboro target area and has a men's shelter, and a women's and
children's shelter.
Community Development
Through the Consolidated Plan process, needs have been recognized for the CDBG program. These
needs include infrastructure improvements,public facilities and code enforcement activities in the City's
low/moderate income target areas. Due to the older nature of the target areas, public facilities,
infrastructure, and housing are somewhat deteriorated. The need for the demolition of unsafe structures
and the potential purchase of buildable lots for affordable housing providers was also identified during
the evaluation process.
The City has identified the following 5-Year Community Development Priorities and Objectives:
Community Development Priorities:
• Rehabilitate and upgrade the infrastructure in the low/mod target areas.
• Make improvements to or develop new public facilities.
• Provide public services to low and moderate income residents.
• Provide for the demolition and clearance of unsafe,vacant,and dilapidated structures.
• Design and install sidewalks in target areas and low income service areas
Community Development Objectives:
• Rehabilitate two streets and/or accompanying storm-water drainage facilities to eliminate
deteriorating streets and flooding instances.
• Design and install 600 linear feet of sidewalks in target areas and low income service
areas.
• Improve public facilities.
• Provide public services to at least 400 low/mod persons.
• Demolish and clear at least 15 unsafe, vacant, and/or dilapidated structures on a citywide
basis to eliminate spot blight.

Provide an analysis of how the characteristics of the housing market and the severity of housing
problems and needs of each category of residents provided the basis for determining the relative
priority of each priority housing need category,particularly among extremely low-income, low-income,
and moderate-income households.
Note: Family and income types may be grouped in the case of closely related categories of residents
where the analysis would apply to more than one family or income type.
High priority is given to extremely low income households in all categories, and to low income
households in the "small related renters" category. Due to limited funding, many needs will go unmet
until addressed in future years.
Analysis
Based upon the 2000 CHAS and more recent data, and the widespread knowledge that the cost-burdened
problem has been exacerbated since 2000 (and especially during the past 24 months,), the City is fully
aware that resources are needed to make housing affordable for both low/mod renters and owners.
Assistance is especially needed for the severely cost-burdened, of which renters dominate.
The high foreclosure rate in the Central Florida area, including Kissimmee, indicates a high incidence of
job loss,bordering households, many formerly middle income, on homelessness. It is reported that many
households are "doubling-up," living with relatives or others until employment can be secured and/or
the economy improves.
Many jobs lost are from service industries, especially since those type jobs dominate the workforce in
Seminole county and Sanford. This leaves many households, with little or no savings, absolutely
resource-less in difficult times. These factors only contribute to the cost-burdened problem and the lack
of truly affordable housing among low/mod households despite the recession and the relatively low cost
of housing due to foreclosure activity.
Basis for Assigning Priorities
The priority given to each category above is based upon the relatively high numbers of households with
cost burdens of both 30-50%, and over 50%, as compared with the numbers of households with housing
costs not exceeding 30%of income. This is the case for both renters and owners.

City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2019
Ident fy any obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs
The chief obstacle to meeting underserved needs lies in the lack of adequate public resources to address
the needs. Local government resources are severely lacking in Florida since 2008,and Sanford's CDBG
allocation is much too small to make a large impact,when compared to the demonstrated need.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES/AFFORDABLE HOUSING 91.215 (B)
Note:Specific affordable housing objectives must specify the number of extremely low-income, low-
income, and moderate-income households to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as
defined in 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership. (24 CFR
91.215(b)(2)
Identib)each specific housing objective by number(DH-1, DH-2, DH-2), proposed
accomplishments and outcomes the jurisdiction hopes to achieve in quantitative terms over a
specified time period, or in other measurable terms as identified and defined by the jurisdiction.
There are no specific construction related activities at this time due to limited CDBG funding however,
the City in its efforts to provide safe, decent and sustainable through its demolition program intends to
offer vacant lots for to affordable providers.
Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably
expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by the
strategic plan.
Resources to Meet Addressed Needs
The only resources available to meet the above-identified Housing Priorities and Objectives are:
• CDBG Program. These funds will be used to:
o Provide vacant infill lots for the construction of affordable housing.
o Provide funding to perform exterior (interior possibly depending upon funding)
rehabilitation to owner-occupied single family homes.
o Eliminate blighting influences.
• SHIP Program. These funds are administered and implemented by Seminole County,and will be
used to:
o Provide Down Payment/Closing Cost Assistance for homeownership for lower income
households.
o Fund owner-occupied housing rehabilitation for lower income households.
o Provide for Rental, Security,and Utility Deposits for income-eligible households.
• Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). Residents of all 7 municipal governments in
Seminole County's NSP Program benefited through housing related assistance.
Indicate how the characteristics of the housing market will influence the use of funds made available
for rental assistance, production of new units, rehabilitation of old units, or acquisition of existing
units.
There is limited funding for any category of housing assistance within the City of Sanford. The City
of Sanford Housing Authority is the major provider of rental housing assistance.
If the jurisdiction intends to use HOME funds for tenant-based rental assistance, specify local
market conditions that led to the choice of that option.

The public housing agency's strategy to serve the needs of extremely low-income, low-income, and
moderate-income families residing in the jurisdiction served by the public housing agency (including
families on the public housing and section 8 tenant-based waiting list).
Describe the public housing agency's strategy for addressing the revitalization and restoration needs of
public housing projects within the jurisdiction and improving the management and operation of such
public housing.
The City recognizes The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford, Florida (Authority) as an integral
entity in the provision of affordable housing to the lower income population. With limited CDBG funds
available to the City to pursue its own needs, priorities, objectives and goals, the City encourages the
Authority to seek other methods/sources of funding such as federal, local and other in its search of ways
to apply for and receive the financial resources necessary for the Authority to maintain its units and meet
the goals established in its CIP.
HUD on June 17, 2010, awarded $64,843,914.00 to public housing authorities in Florida. The funds
will allow these agencies to make major capital improvements to their public housing units. This
funding is part of$2.3 billion HUD awarded to 3,131 agencies across the U.S, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The funding is allocated through HUD's Capital Fund Program
that provides annual funding to public housing authorities to develop, finance, and/or modernize the
public housing in their communities. This funding can be used to make large-scale improvements such
as new roofs and to make energy-efficient upgrades to replace old plumbing and electrical systems. Of
the $64,843,914 to public housing authorities in Florida, The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford,
Florida will be receiving $791,021.In addition, the financial data spread sheet listed above indicates that
$ 18,107,200. Dollars has been earmarked for immediate repairs to its' public housing in all six service areas of
the City.
Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of extremely low-
income, low-income, and moderate families residing in public housing.
The Housing Authority is improving the living environment for its extremely low-, low-, and moderate
families by providing standard, affordable housing in a supportive social environment. The City of
Sanford Public Housing Authority continues to provide services and self-sufficiency encouragement
specifically focused on its lower income residents.
Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the needs of public housing
and activities it will undertake to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership. (NAHA Sec. 105 (b)(11) and(91.215 (k))
As required, both housing authorities have at least one public housing resident on their own Boards of
Commissioners.
The Sanford Housing Authority has a resident advisory board that meets twice annually to advise on
their Annual Plan, and they meet occasionally to advise their Board of Directors on the usage of their
Capital Fund.
The Seminole County Housing Authority also has an advisory board made up of public housing
residents, which meets quarterly to help in their strategic planning and in the development of their
Annual Plan.
53
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
If the public housing agency is designated as "troubled"by HUD or otherwise is performing poorly, the
jurisdiction shall describe the manner in which it will provide financial or other assistance in improving
its operations to remove such designation, (NAHA Sec. 105(g))
As of July,2010, the City of Sanford PHA has recently lost its Executive Director. The situation will
most likely be closely monitored by the Department of Housing& Urban Developments' Public
Housing Officials until a replacement is hired.
HOMELESS
PRIORITY HOMELESS NEEDS
*Refer to the Homeless Needs Table 1 A on page 20.
The City recognizes the seriousness of homelessness within the City. With limited CDBG funds
available to the City to pursue its own needs, priorities, objectives and goals, the City does not have
the CDBG financial capability to address homeless needs. However, the City will always remain
alert to partnership possibilities or the seeking of funding whenever those partners and funds might
be available.
HOMELESS STRATEGY 91.215 (D)
HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION
Describe the Jurisdiction's Strategy to help prevent Homelessness for individuals and families with
children who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
The city has dedicated $45,000 in its first year to leverage with Seminole County in the acquisition of a
facility for transitional housing for individuals and families in the prevention of homelessness.
INSTITUTIONAL,STRUCTURE
Briefly describe the institutional structure, including private industry, non-profit organizations, and
public institutions, through which the jurisdiction will carry out its homelessness strategy.
The following institutional structure within in Seminole County work cooperatively to provide programs
and facilities in the prevention of homelessness: The Supportive Housing Program (delivered by the
Homeless Services Network of Central Florida through the Continuum of Care), The Shelter Plus Care
Program (through Seminole County), The Emergency Shelter Grant Program (through Seminole
County) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (through the City of Orlando (designated as
program administrator for all residents in Seminole County, Orange County, Osceola County, and the
City of Orlando).
Other federal partners that also provide homeless assistance include: the Department of Health and
Human Services, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, the Department of Veterans
Affairs,the Department of Agriculture, and the Interagency Council on Homelessness
54
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
DISCHARGE COORDINATION POLICY
Every jurisdiction receiving McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act Emergency Shelter Grant(ESG),
Supportive Housing, Shelter Plus Care, or Section 8 SRO Program funds must develop and implement a
Discharge Coordination Policy, to the maximum extent practicable. Such a policy should include
"policies and protocols for the discharge of persons from publicly funded institutions or systems of care
(such as health care facilities,foster care or other youth facilities, or correction programs and
institutions)in order to prevent such discharge from immediately resulting in homelessness for such
persons. " The jurisdiction should describe its planned activities to implement a cohesive, community-
wide Discharge Coordination Policy, and how the community will move toward such a policy.
The City of Sanford does not receive ESG funds or any other form of McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance funding.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES/HOMELESS (91.215)
PRIORITY NON-HOMELESS NEEDS 91.215 (E)
The city recognizes the needs for non-homeless housing services however due to limited funding
availability no strategies have currently been adopted to address them at this time. As stated earlier
Seminole County agencies and Public Housing Authorities address these needs on a regional basis.
The City of Sanford does not receive HOME Program funds, these services are provided on a regional
basis.
SPECIFIC SPECIAL NEEDS OBJECTIVES 91.215 (E)
Identify each specific objective developed to address a priority need by number and contain
proposed accomplishments and outcomes the jurisdiction expects to achieve in quantitative terms
through related activities over a specified time period(i.e. one, two, three or more years), or in
other measurable terms as identified and defined by the jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction may use Table IC to meet this requirement.

Estimates of Non-Homeless Special Needs
Estimates of Non-Homeless Special Needs for the Tri County Program Area which includes the City of
Sanford are as follows:
Priority Need Level
SPECIAL NEEDS SUBPOPULATIONS High, Medium, Unmet Sheltered Total
Tri-County 2009 Low, Need
No Such Need
Elderly over age of 80 High 3.5% of
population
Frail Elderly High 138
Severe Mental Illness High 420 272 692
Veterans High 338 225 563
Victims of Domestic Violence Low 221 221
Persons w/Alcohol/Other Drug Addictions High 504 325 829
Persons w/HIV/AIDS Low 73 73
Unaccompanied Youth Low - 25 25
Other
Priority Housing and Supportive Service Needs
Based upon the above chart, the subpopulations identified with a high priority level are the elderly, the
frail elderly, and veterans and persons with severe mental illness and substance abusers. The city may
use small allocations of future funding to support the table of unmet needs.
Basis for Assigning Priorities
The basis for assigning the "high priority" in the identified groups listed above is the relatively high
number unsheltered persons in need, compared to the availability of facilities and services. This
illustrates the large gap in servicing and providing these categorical subpopulations with much needed
housing and supportive services.
Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs
The chief obstacle to meeting underserved needs of all of the subpopulations shown above is the lack of
adequate Federal, State,and local funding.
Available Facilities and Services
Facilities available to meet non-homeless needs include:
*PLEASE REFER TO HOMELESS INVENTORY 91.210 (C) THE RESOURCES CHARTS (TABLES) PROVIDED BY THE HOMELESS
SERVICES NETWORK AND SEMINOLE COUNTY. THEY ARE LOCATED ON PAGES 30-33 OF THE PLAN.
Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably
expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by the strategic
plan.
Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs

Identify the jurisdiction's priority non-housing community development needs eligible for assistance by CDBG
eligibility category specified in the Community Development Needs Table*—i.e.,public facilities,public
improvements,public services and economic development.
Describe the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs provided on
Table 2B or the Community Development Table in the CPMP Tool's Needs.xls worksheet.
General Rationale for Allocating Investments:
Community Development
The City will prioritize the use of these funds to complete revitalization of its low income
neighborhoods. Capital Projects begun utilizing CDBG funds allocated to the city by Seminole
County will continue to be a priority now that the City has been granted entitlement status. The
needs survey conducted by the city on June 3, 2010 indicated that Community Development public
facility, clearance and demolition and public services ranked among the highest priority need. The
survey results are supplied in Appendix B.
Community Development
Through the Consolidated Plan process, needs have been recognized for the CDBG program. These
needs include infrastructure improvements, public facilities and code enforcement activities in the City's
low/moderate income target areas. Due to the older nature of the target areas, public facilities,
infrastructure, and housing are somewhat deteriorated. The need for the demolition of unsafe structures
and the potential purchase of buildable lots for affordable housing providers was also identified during
the evaluation process.
The City has identified the following 5-Year Community Development Priorities and Objectives:
Community Development Priorities:
• Rehabilitate and upgrade the infrastructure in the low/mod target areas.
• Make improvements to or develop new public facilities.
• Provide public services to low and moderate income residents.
• Provide for the demolition and clearance of unsafe,vacant, and dilapidated structures.
• Design and install sidewalks in target areas and low income service areas
58
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
SPECIFIC COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
The identified needs for community improvement are considerable however; the funding available to
meet those needs is limited to CDBG, Youth Build and LIHEAP. Although other funds are derived
from regional sources the addressed needs are specific to the funding programs.
Ident specific long-term and short-term community development objectives (including economic
development activities that create jobs), developed in accordance with the statutory goals described
in section 24 CFR 91.1 and the primary objective of the CDBG program to provide decent housing
and a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities,principally for low- and
moderate-income persons.
Community Development Objectives:
• Rehabilitate two streets and/or accompanying storm-water drainage facilities to eliminate
deteriorating streets and flooding instances.
• Design and install 600 linear feet of sidewalks in target areas and low income service
areas.
• Improve public facilities.
• Provide public services to at least 400 low/mod persons.
• Demolish and clear at least 15 unsafe, vacant, and/or dilapidated structures on a citywide
basis to eliminate spot blight.

Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas 91.215 (g)
If the jurisdiction has one or more approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas, the
jurisdiction must provide, with the submission of a new Consolidated Plan, either:the prior HUD-
approved strategy, or strategies, with a statement that there has been no change in the strategy(in
which case, HUD approval for the existing strategy is not needed a second time)or submit a new or
amended neighborhood revitalization strategy, or strategies, (for which separate HUD approval
would be required).
Not Applicable. The City has no Neighborhood Revitalization Areas.
Barriers to Affordable Housing 91.215 (h)
Describe the strategy to remove or ameliorate negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing, except that, if a State requires a unit ofgeneral local government to
submit a regulatory barrier assessment that is substantially equivalent to the information required
under this part,as determined by HUD, the unit ofgeneral local government may submit that
assessment to HUD and it shall be considered to have complied with this requirement.
The Sanford Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Section raises the following comments
concerning potential barriers to affordable housing within the city limits "Potential Impediments to
Meeting Demand. The potential hurdles include limited funding for affordable housing,
implementation of policies promoting urban infill and redevelopment, and development regulations
which make housing development more expensive housing. The City Commission does have the
power to waive, discount, or defer impact fees for affordable housing. These programs should be
reviewed for success and potential for improvement.
Lead-based Paint 91.215 (i)
Describe the jurisdiction's plan to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards and describe how
lead based paint hazards will be integrated into housing policies and programs, and how the plan
for the reduction of lead-based hazards is related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards.
The Seminole County Health Department has no tracking process for lead-based paint. It is estimated
that approximately 36 % (or) 8,635 of the housing units in Sanford were built prior to 1978. Although it
is possible that a majority of these contain residual lead-based paint, many have undoubtedly been
repainted many times over,and have therefore have encapsulated any lead-based paint.
The overall goal of the City is to reduce or eliminate lead-based paint hazards and prevent childhood
lead poisoning. This will be accomplished through a coordinated effort of public and private sectors.All
housing proposed for rehabilitation is screened by the year built to determine possible LBP hazard. The
owner is given the EPA Fact Sheet- Identin,ing Lead Hazards in Your Home and the EPA publication -
Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home. During the feasibility inspection, if the inspector
identifies a potential LBP problem, he notifies the owner and may test the suspect area with a swab or
take a sample to be processed through the County Health Department.
In every program where federal funds are expended on a housing unit, the City incorporates the current
procedures for hazard reduction or LBP abatement guidelines as defined in 24 CFR Part 35.
61
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
Actions proposed or being taken to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards
Due to funding limitations, the City, in conjunction with Seminole County occasionally funds and
subsidizes city based affordable housing development. This is accomplished through the encouragement
and development of new affordable units, or the rehabilitation of existing units built after 1977, as
opposed to rehabilitating pre-1978 units, both for renters and homebuyers, in order to increase the
inventory of lead-free housing units. However, since the City and or Seminole County also accepts and
occasionally funds proposals to renovate existing housing units (sometimes built prior to 1978), all
housing units built prior to 1978 will be comprehensively tested for lead-based paint. If such units
contain lead-based paint and are approved for funding, then they will be dealt with by encapsulating,
abating, or clearing the lead-based paint. Housing units with chipped or peeling lead-based paint will be
avoided to the extent feasible and possible, due to the anticipated expense, and owners of such units will
be encouraged to eliminate any hazards. In all situations, the City will comply with Federal regulations
(24 CFR 35) in dealing with lead-based paint in residential properties. Any treatment or abatement of
lead-based paint will be funded by participating agencies, but closely monitored by the City and
Seminole County.
Antipoverty Strategy 91.215 (j)
Describe the jurisdiction's goals,programs, and policies for reducing the number of pover4,level
families (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually
Recognizing that poverty is a complex issue and even more so during the recent economic downturn,the
City of Sanford will continue to consider prioritizing projects that are targeted towards individual self-
sufficiency,economic improvement and social service opportunities.
Because the City of Sanford and Seminole County now receive separate CDBG funds;they are therefore
governed by different authorities. However, both jurisdictions will continue to work diligently to
complement and maximize the efforts of each entity to ensure a seamless coordination of services.
Sanford's Anti-Poverty Strategy is intended to reduce the number of people earning at or below low
poverty level wages and/or at risk of homelessness. Consequently, this Strategy incorporates community
activities intended to reduce the number of poverty level families and households in Sanford through the
efforts of regional organizations as well such as: Habitat for Humanity in Seminole County, and the
Homeless Services Network of Central Florida programs.
In addition, through its yearly Action Plan the City plans to target its Public Service funding to provide
programs to enhance self sufficiency, social and economic improvement opportunities such as

Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
As an important component of economic development efforts, Seminole State College located in
Sanford provides a Small Business Development Center (BDC) which teaches potential business
people how to successfully start a new company. The BDC also provides customized job training
programs that train local residents (most of whom are unemployed or underemployed) to take
specific jobs at new or expanding programs.
In conjunction with the State WAGES, Welfare to Work program, the City as well as Seminole
County, through Seminole State College provides both life skills and customized job training for the
City as well as Seminole County low-income residents. These courses are designed to help under-
skilled workers obtain jobs in the private sector
Identify the extent to which this strategy will reduce (or assist in reducing) the number of poverty
level families, taking into consideration factors over which the jurisdiction has control.
Although the City of Sanford has limited resources to fight poverty, it strongly supports the
coordination of this anti-poverty effort and strategy. Due to regional, county and local efforts,
poverty is more effectively wiped-out through the provision of strong networking systems which
deliver social programs, affordable housing and economic opportunities geared to enhance, support
and attain a higher more satisfying quality of life for individuals in need.

Department. This office is responsible for the implementation of CDBG funds. The CD staff
includes personnel who implement some activities directly, and work with and through sub-
recipients on other activities. Public and Housing Service providers working closely with City
officials include:
o Habitat for Humanity in Seminole County,
o GoldenRule Housing & Community Development Corporation (specializing in Affordable
Housing for lower income people).
o Rescue Outreach Mission(men's shelter and women's and children's homeless shelter),

o Recovery House of Sanford(transitional housing for men recovering from alcohol and drug
addiction),and
o The Center for Affordable Housing(non-profit CHDO of Seminole County).
Housing and Community Development Providers
Institutional capacity to carry out the City's housing and community development programs includes
developers, lending institutions, real estate professionals, local governments, community based service
organizations,nonprofit organizations, and providers of professional services.
Private Industry
The housing delivery system in Sanford has traditionally been the domain of both the public and private
sectors.A robust residential market,particularly for suburban single-family construction, spurred growth
of the development community until 2007, when the economy downturned. The projected number of
households residing in the city is expected to grow at a much reduced rate by 2015 as evidenced by the
widespread housing slump and foreclosure vacancy rates.
Nonprofit Organizations
There are a small number of nonprofits operating within Sanford for the express purpose of providing
social and community development services. However, the primary social service provider to Sanford
citizens is the countywide Meals on Wheels Program. Types of services offered include congregate
meals, social programs, housing repair (Weatherization Program), transportation (for the disabled and
senior citizens),nutrition (food bank and commodities), and home services (personal care, homemaking,
companionship,etc), toddler,preschool and afterschool nutrition program.
The Homeless Services Network of Central Florida works with homeless service agencies and advocacy
groups, interested individuals, to provide grant application funding in the support of activities for the
homeless. This coalition offers all nonprofits who serve the homeless population the opportunity to
share information and resources and to coordinate activities in a manner that best meets the needs of
their client population in a continuum of care.
Provide an assessment of the strengths and gaps in the delivery
Strengths and Gaps in The Delivery System:
Strengths:
Although funding is limited, the City's biggest strength is the strong support by its local governments
for housing and community development activities,and a growing relationship between the public sector
and the private sector.
Relatively strong relationships are maintained with Meals and Wheels, Etc, .Inc. and Homeless Services
as well other nonprofits serving the homeless and populations with special needs. The City has
established cooperative relationships with both public and private sector agencies over the past few
years. In addition, the City has supported nonprofits' efforts in service delivery without becoming
involved in the shelter operations and will continue to provide supportive services such as (drop-in
shelters, food services, etc.). With limited funding, City staff will continue to work with these agencies
to build capacity.
64
City of Sanford
Consolidated Plan 2010-2014
Gaps:
Due to the slumping economy and the relatively small size of Sanford, a strong nonprofit housing
development community does not currently exist. During the last two years the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds have not been available for new housing construction and
rehabilitation. At this juncture it is doubtful that additional funding through this program will be
forthcoming therefore other venues must be searched for affordable housing opportunities.
Strategy to Overcome Gaps:
The City will:
o Continue to seek individuals or groups with specific housing interests that address priority
concerns and encourage them to become active nonprofit providers, and encourage developers to
apply for federal housing assistance.
o Encourage very low-income families, unable to locate affordable housing, to utilize public
housing and Section 8 vouchers, when available, while gaining the skills and/or education to
transition to economic independence. Two Housing Authorities are located within Seminole
County for the provision of housing assistance.
o Enhance the preservation of existing housing to meet the needs of low/mod households through a
limited housing rehabilitation program.
o Continue to provide incentives for the construction of affordable housing through partnering with
Habitat for Humanity.
Public housing delivery system strengths and gaps
• The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford has 480 units and 90 Section 8 Vouchers for a
total of 570 units plus vouchers. This strength provides 480 units of affordable public housing to
low income families.
• The public housing units are located within the City of Sanford providing local rental housing.
• These units are instrumental in keeping rents affordable
• A public partnership has been formed between the Housing Authority of the City of Sanford and
its police department in an effort to reduce incidents of violence and criminal activity.
• While the Housing Authority of the City of Sanford only has 90 Section 8 vouchers, the
Seminole County Housing Authority has available at total of 334 Section 8 vouchers and 30
public housing units. These two agencies complement each other in the fact that one agency has
a large number of public units in one location and the other is able to supply vouchers necessary
for low income families to locate anywhere within the confines of Seminole County.
• Both county and city housing authorities report that funds are not sufficient to effectively cover
their maintenance and rehabilitation costs.
• Both locally and nationally it is well noted that Housing Authorities are in dire need of additional
Section 8 Voucher funding.

Coordination 91.215 (1)
Describe the efforts to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and
governmental health, mental health, and service agencies.
The City may contemplate creating a partnership program that will include meetings of housing
providers and service agencies. These meetings could be potentially invaluable in sharing information
concerning programs and challenges and p gr g d operations.
Describe efforts in addressing the needs of persons that are chronically homeless with respect to the
preparation of the homeless strategy.
The chronically homeless population receives much attention in the tri-county (Seminole, Orange and
Osceola)area of Central Florida by the Homeless Services Network which develops homeless strategies,
of which Sanford is now a participating member. Seminole County receives HUD Shelter + Care
funding to assist a subpopulation of the chronic homeless population. The City will work with the
County in its attempts to addressing the needs of the chronic homeless in Sanford.
Describe the means of cooperation and coordination among the state and any units of general local
government in the metropolitan area in the implementation of the plan.
With Sanford as a CDBG entitlement community, the State of Florida is now an integral part of the
City's housing and community development efforts, as many of the social service programs that serve
low- and moderate-income persons are funded by, or through, the State. In addition, the State's
affordable housing program, known as SHIP, is an incredible resource for providing affordable housing
for special needs populations as well as low and moderate income residents. As an entitlement
community, Sanford is now entitled to SHIP funding should the Legislature reinstate funding in the
future. The State also allocates housing credits, distributes disaster relief funds, provides
predevelopment(housing)loans,and allocates a separate amount of HOME funding.
Cooperation and coordination with the State is essential to the continued success of the County's housing
and community development programs, and to successful implementation of the plan.
Describe efforts to enhance coordination with private industry, businesses, developers, and social
service agencies, particularly with regard to the development of the jurisdiction's economic
development strategy.
The City has a significant economic development program that works directly with private industry,
businesses, and developers. The physical revitalization of the downtown area is an indication of the
strength and commitment of its economic development initiatives. The City's economic development
programs and processes identify workforce needs,and in addition,the City works with the local colleges
to provide workforce training and other services to enable residents to compete for jobs.
Describe the jurisdiction's efforts to coordinate its housing strategy with its transportation planning
strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that residents of affordable housing have access to public
transportation.
Access to public transportation is always a difficult topic in Florida, particularly in large, suburban
areas. In evaluating potential sites for housing funding, City staff will always consider the topic of
transportation as an important factor in its housing activities.

Monitoring (91.230)
Describe the standards and procedures the jurisdiction will use to monitor its housing and
community development projects and ensure long-term compliance with program requirements
and comprehensive planning requirements.
3-5 Year Strategic Plan Monitoring response:
MONITORING:
The City will monitor and evaluate program participants. Such a process involves monthly activity
reporting, telephone contacts, written communication, analysis of reports and audits, on site visits, and
meetings when applicable. The primary goal of monitoring will be to test capacity, identify deficiencies,
and advocate modifications to improve, reinforce or augment participant performance. Internal and
external agencies and departments will be subject to this review. As part of this process, the City will
watch for evidence of fraud, waste and mismanagement or for situations with potential for such abuse.
The emphasis will be on prevention, detection and correction of problems to ensure program success.
This proactive approach in the project management process will serve to identify timeliness and
successful performance as well as identify the potential of a problem or problems allowing intervention
by staff to mitigate deficient performance.
The City of Sanford will monitor each program participant annually, or more frequently if circumstances
should require (high risk activities, new sub-recipients, high turnover within organizations, etc.), in order
to review the scope of service terms included in their agreement with the City, and to determine the
possibility of future funding. The purpose of this monitoring is to measure compliance with the
requirements of the federal program. Such review will include desk audits and on-site examinations.
In addition to the above, any sub-recipient determined to be in need of and/or requesting additional
training on how to meet grantee and federal requirements will receive technical assistance in the form
deemed most appropriate to the circumstances by department staff.
