On August 10, 2004, the City adopted a Consolidated Plan that identified community needs, goals, and objectives. Included in the Consolidated Plan is a 5-year Strategic Plan to address the City’s priority needs. An Action Plan identifies and prioritizes key information on community development needs and lists proposed projects and their annual budgets.

Administrative Cap - The maximum 20% administrative cap will not be exceeded. HUD has projected the formula grant amount to be $444,851. The proposed Year 4 Annual Action Plan administrative budget is $79,851, which is less than the 20% cap of $88,970.20. Service Cap - The maximum 15% service cap will not be exceeded. HUD has projected the formula grant amount to be $444,851. The proposed Year 4 Annual Action Plan service budget percentage is 14.61%. If the final grant amount is changed then the budget for the public service project will be adjusted to meet the 15% cap. Low/Mod Benefit – Excluding administrative costs, the City will spend 95.5% of the grant funds on projects designed to benefit targeted low-income neighborhoods, or specifically on clientele with incomes less than 80% of the median family income. The Blight Removal project’s appliance-recycling program will be advertised to the public but with advertising and code enforcement emphasis in targeted neighborhoods. The $20,000 budget for Blight Removal represents 4.5% of the total Year 4 budget. Part Five: Mapping 91.220 Included with the Year 4 Annual Action Plan is a map that depicts the areas of low and moderate-income neighborhoods, which are targeted for programs and services. This map was created through the U.S. Census Bureau’s web site. Table 4 shows the geographic allocation of priorities for all of the Year 4 projects.

These programs are Transitional Housing and the Emergency Rental Program. These programs help the homeless, those who are in need of counseling and a structured residential setting, and help to keep people from becoming homeless. Part Seven: Other Actions 91.220(f) The Year 2 Annual Action Plan cited the Home Accessibility Improvement and Lead-Based Paint Testing Projects. However, the Home Accessibility project was canceled because no subrecipient was found to run the program. No rehabilitation projects are proposed for the Year 3 Annual Action Plan so the Lead- Based Paint Testing is not required. Part Eight: Monitoring 91.230 • All planned programs include monitoring methods and/or goals in the HUD Table 3 descriptions. • The City of Farmington will create a first and third quarter Action Plan Assessment to gauge the progress of the individual projects both for the timely expenditure of funds and for the project accomplishments. • The City of Farmington will continue to improve the timeliness of drawdowns and expenditures to meet the 1.5 carryover standard. • The City of Farmington will continue to monitor its subrecipients with the use of expenditure reports, accomplishment data, and onsite inspections as necessary. Part Nine: Public Participation All applicable citizen participation requirements have been met or exceeded for this process. The City of Farmington presented the Year 4 Projects, Goals, and Priorities document at an advertised public open forum, on April 27, 2007 and to the City Council Work Session, on June 5, 2007, to solicit public input and project guidance. The Year 4 Projects, Goals, and Priorities document was the basis for choosing the number and type of projects to be conducted. The Year 4 Annual Action Plan was made available to the public for review on July 9, 2007 and a public hearing was held with the City Council on July 24, 2007 for adoption by Resolution. The opportunity for language, hearing, and accessibility assistance was part of the public notification and the Year 4 Annual Action Plan was available for public review at the Public Library, City Clerk, Community Development Department, and was posted on the City web page. • A copy of the approved City Council Minutes may not be available until September, but will be provided as an amended attachment when available. • Public hearing advertisements are attached. • Public comments are attached: Part Ten: Community Profile A. Population increase 1. Table 5 below shows the Farmington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) had the highest percent increase from 2000 to 2005. The numeric population change of 12,407 was greater than Santa Fe’s 11,567. This shows the Farmington MSA gaining ground on the Santa Fe MSA. Another interesting part of this table is the great difference between the State’s four Metropolitan Statistical Areas and the Non- metro portion. Of all of the growth in the state, from 2000 to 2005, 97.9% of it occurred within the MSA’s of Albuquerque, Farmington, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Farmington Year 4 Annual Action Plan July 24, 2007 6 Table 5 Total Population Estimates and Population Change New Mexico Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 2000 to 2005 April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2005 April 1, 2000 r/ Population July 1, 2005 p/ Numeric Percent County Estimates Base Estimate Change Change New Mexico 1,819,046 1,928,384 109,338 6.0 Metro Portion 1/ 1,147,424 1,254,447 107,023 9.3 Albuquerque MSA 2/ 729,653 797,940 68,287 9.4 Farmington MSA 3/ 113,801 126,208 12,407 10.9 Las Cruces MSA 4/ 174,682 189,444 14,762 8.5 Santa Fe MSA 5/ 129,288 140,855 11,567 8.9 Nonmetro Portion 1/ 671,622 673,937 2,315 0.3 p/ Preliminary. r/ Revised.

The County overall, Farmington, Aztec, Bloomfield, the portion of the Navajo Reservation in SJC, and unincorporated areas outside of the Navajo Reservation are all shown. The numeric increase, the total percentage change, and the annual growth rate are shown along with the data for 2000 and 2005. The 2005 population for the portion of the Navajo Reservation in SJC is a linear projection based upon the available 1990 and 2000 census data. The percentage and growth rates show that the City of Farmington has grown the most, and the unincorporated areas have the second highest rate of growth. The Navajo Reservation and Aztec have lowest rates of growth.

Population by Race and Ethnicity The 2000 racial composition of the Four Corners Region (FCR) is characterized by a large concentration of Native Americans accounting for 43.5% of the region population or 217,348 persons in 2000. This contrasts with the four-corner states’ concentration of 3.7% or New Mexico’s at 9.5%. In 2000, San Juan County’s population had 37% and Farmington had 6,289 or 16.7% Native Americans. The FCR and Farmington had a low representation of Black, Asian and Pacific Islanders, at only 1.3% of Farmington’s population. While 42% of New Mexicans claim Hispanic origin, only 15% of the FCR and San Juan County do so, while Farmington’s population was 17.7% Hispanic. The balance of the Farmington population is White, representing 26,537 persons or 71% of the city’s population. C. Employment The University of New Mexico Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) publishes data on employment in Farmington’s Metropolitan Statistical Area. Chart 1 below shows the total labor force, employed, unemployed and the percentage of unemployment from 2000 to 2005. From 2001 to 2003, employment was flat while the labor force increased, resulting in higher unemployment, 6.8%. Between 2003 and 2005, both the labor force and the employed increased, and unemployment declined to 5.5 Table 7 below compares the 2005 employment data with the State and other New Mexico MSA’s. Farmington’s 5.5% unemployment rate is higher than the state average and all of the other MSA’s, except Las Cruces.

Median Family Income Table 8 provides the key income figure, Median Family Income (MFI), and details the median income for different racial, age, and family status groups. The data, like all American community Survey information, is for the Farmington MSA, which for all statistical purposes is very similar to San Juan County Data. Because the American Community Survey uses a statistical sample of the population, the Census Bureau suppressed some racial group data due to the very small percentage the population. African American and Asian are missing from this table due to this. The three racial groups reported total 98.2% of the Farmington MSA population.

Designated HUD Census Block Groups Farmington has 7 block groups deemed to meet the 51% concentration of low and moderate-income populations in 2000 with the eighth block group (44%) being included due to the top quartile HUD standard as detailed in the Consolidated Plan. The largest absolute numbers of low and moderate-income populations (block groups 501.1 and 205.4) are excluded from the HUD list due to their lower percentage concentrations, yet they contain 1,933 or 15.6% of the city’s low- and moderate-income persons. A second concern is that the HUD methodology splits the downtown redevelopment plan area in two. The recommended expansion to 11 designated block groups exceeded the 8 HUD block group area for total poverty populations by the following numbers: 1,108 more Hispanics, 433 more American Indians, 157 more other race, 33 more 2 races, and 296 more Whites.

San Juan County Board of Realtors Sales Data The San Juan County Board of Realtors provided information on the number of residential units sold, the average, and median sales prices in San Juan County through their Multiple Listing Service. In 2003, a new computer system was used for this information and so the median price was unavailable prior to 2003. Table shows the annual percent change of price for the average and median sales prices. The peak increase of 14% was in 2005. Through September of 2006, there was still very strong growth. However, there is a more pronounced difference between the average and median increases in 2006, which may represent a larger volume of modestly priced homes being purchased than in 2005. The 2006 figures are also important because they show a strong housing market in San Juan County when many areas in the rest of the nation are seeing signs of declining sales and prices.

Building Department Data The building permit data is from the City of Farmington Building Division’s reports. Table 11 shows the number of residential permits issued and their percent change per year. The permit valuations cannot be compared with the other housing price data in this report. The building permit valuations do not reflect real market values, but the percent changes can be compared over time. A general estimate is that the permit valuations are half of the sales prices. The most notable numbers are the significant decline in the permit valuations in 2006, 18.69% decline in median and 13.23% decline in average valuations. This shows a significant change in the real values of the new homes. This is also supported by the changes in the high and low permit valuations for 2006.

Rental Housing Market Survey CDBG Staff collected rental ads from the Farmington Daily Times for every day in the month of April from 2000 to 2006. Ads appearing more than once in a month were filtered out, so ads which stayed longer in the paper, would not skew the results. A previous rental survey done for Farmington’s Consolidated Plan had used April for data in a single year, so CDBG staff selected that particular month arbitrarily but it was used consistently for each year. The data collected from the ads included number of rooms, price, and type of rental unit. Chart 4 summarizes all collected rental data and shows average and median rent and the number of units available for the month of April for each year. This chart shows two important trends. First, in 2005, there was a significant increase in the average and median rents. Second, is the 66% decrease in the total number of units available from 2000 to 2006.

The median rent of one and two bedroom units show the least gain with 27.8% and 29.4%. Three bedroom units show an overall increase of 45.8%. An interesting point in 2000 is that four bedroom units were less expensive than three bedroom units were. In examining the raw collected data, CDBG staff found, in 2000, there were a number of four bedroom mobile home rentals that lowered the median for this category while many of the three bedroom rentals in 2000 were single-family homes.

The major rental categories used by the Farmington Daily Times was used, rooms for rent, apartments, townhomes/condos/duplex, houses, and mobile homes. Most rental types show a clean data line over time by the townhomes/condos/duplex line shows significant variability. In April of 2001, there were none available for rent so there is no data. In addition, the median rent fell below mobile homes and apartments in 2004, then shot up 134% to higher than the median rent for single-family homes, and then fell again down to the level of mobile homes. In the City of Farmington, a new 60-unit townhome complex was constructed around 2005. The rental price for these units ranged around $1,100 While less than half of the units were initially offered for rent, this influx of new quality rentals could be responsible for this spike in 2005. Another notable increase is in the category, Rooms for Rent, from 2005 to 2006. This spike goes from $275 to $500. This is an 81.8% increase in one year.

Fair Housing The City of Farmington completed its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI). An addendum to the AI was made in response to the Commission on Civil Rights’ Farmington Report 30 Years Later. These documents are available through the City of Farmington Community Development Department and have been submitted to HUD’s Albuquerque Field Office. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Farmington Year 4 Annual Action Plan July 24, 2007 16 I. Summary of the Addendum to the AI The housing section of Farmington Report: Civil Rights for Native Americans 30 Years Later, cites three main issues of concern: housing conditions and the lack of indoor plumbing, overcrowding, and discrimination. While the lack of indoor plumbing may still be an issue on the Navajo Reservation, the number of homes within the City of Farmington is a very small percentage of the overall homes. The issue of overcrowding is a more significant issue. There were 13.3% of the American Indians in Farmington living in severely overcrowded conditions in 2000. Even if differences in culture are accounted for, Farmington’s Consolidated Plan’s section on Overcrowding shows that economics are related to the issue of overcrowding. Because the 30 Years Later Report cited information from the Urban Institute’s study on housing discrimination on American Indians, the City of Farmington did a more thorough review of the information in the report. The report shows that housing discrimination is an issue within New Mexico. In the Urban Institute’s report, Discrimination in Metropolitan Housing Markets Phase 3, New Mexico showed a higher incidence of housing discrimination than the two other tested states. In the key tested category of housing availability, 7.6% of Native Americans were discriminated against in New Mexico. The overall incidence of housing discrimination in New Mexico fell between 8.6% and 19%. Farmington’s Citizen Survey on discrimination provided an 8.8% response to the broad question: “Have you ever experienced barriers to renting or buying a home because of race, color, national origin, religion, family status, gender, disability, or sexual orientation?” The relatively low percentage reporting any discrimination indicates Farmington has fewer barriers than existed 30 years ago. The Urban Institute’s report on New Mexico and Farmington’s survey shows the need for continued vigilance and public education for both housing providers and consumers. J. Special Populations 1. Methamphetamine Addiction According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Web Page, methamphetamine poses a multi-prong threat in this area, and investigations are especially prevalent in the Four Corners region. Methamphetamine addiction and production in the Four Corners region has a significant impact on families and children. Some key statistics on Methamphetamine use include: • In San Juan County, 95% of all felony drug arrests are related to methamphetamine use. • In 2004, 758 individuals were arrested for drug charges in San Juan County. • In New Mexico, San Juan County has the greatest number of children placed in foster care because of methamphetamine exposure by their parents. • The 2003, New Mexico Youth Risk Survey results for Farmington Municipal Schools showed a 9.3% response rate for methamphetamine use. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Farmington Year 4 Annual Action Plan July 24, 2007 17 The City of Farmington will continue to seek out statistics on the impacts of Methamphetamine addiction on homelessness, treatment centers, transitional housing, and children. This Year 4 Annual Action Plan includes a project that will provide funding for the creation of new transitional housing units for substance abuse recovery. 2. Homeless Survey The Farmington survey of homeless and at-risk emergency shelters and transitional housing carried out Wednesday evening February 4, 2004 identified 43 parents, 112 youth and 104 individuals served with 12 persons turned away for lack of facilities. The inventory identified 124 persons at the Daily Bread. The sum of these numbers equals 394 persons. In addition, the Affordable Housing Alliance (AHA) case management files for 2003 cited 244 clients as household heads, while 351 were individuals. Substance abuse agencies estimate that the Farmington community contains 500-700 homeless street inebriates. A very rough estimate of the homeless and at-risk population yields about 1,120 persons or 3% of the City’s 2000 population. A significant percentage of this population is Navajo. 3. Assisted Housing Assisted housing opportunities for Farmington’s special populations are deemed less than satisfactory. The most significant housing needs identified in the Consolidated Plan were transitional housing and supportive services for victims of domestic violence, transitional housing for the mentally ill, substance abusers and dually diagnosed populations, and to a lesser degree additions to emergency shelter facilities. Permanent housing and supportive services for dually diagnosed/substance abusers/mentally ill populations and persons with HIV/AIDS were listed as the third most urgent activity to undertake and transitional housing for youth was considered the fourth most critical activity. This Year 4 Annual Action Plan includes a project, which will provide funding for the creation of new transitional housing units for substance abuse recovery. 4. HIV / AIDS Persons diagnosed with the HIV/AIDS have increased from a rate of 2.4 per 100,000 population in 1994 to a rate of 10.3 per 100,000 in 2000. San Juan County’s 2004 estimate is 47 active cases. The leading concern for service providers is inadequate housing assistance for those infected with HIV or AIDS. 5. Persons with Mental Illness Data provided by the homeless survey, Four-Winds Recovery Center, Totah BHA, the Veterans Counseling Center, and Adult and Juvenile Drug Court programs regarding substance abuse and mental illness, yields a population over 1,000 persons. The San Juan County Annual Health Profile identified 268 confirmed cases of child abuse/neglect and 15 cases of adult abuse/neglect in year 2000. San Juan County Law Enforcement reported 1,024 domestic violence related calls in 2003 with a total of 565 arrests. San Juan Regional Medical Center hospitalization discharges for 2002 included: 458 mental diseases, 359 diseases of the nervous system, and 181 alcohol and drug abuse. Mental diseases represented 10% of all child hospitalization discharges in San Juan County in 1999 and 15% of all youth discharges. San Juan County had a suicide rate of 18.1 per 100,000 in 2000 and a rate of 15 per 100,000 for 16-19 year olds. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Farmington Year 4 Annual Action Plan July 24, 2007 18 6. Persons with Physical, Mental and Developmental Disabilities In 2000 there were 10,333 persons with disabilities in Farmington or 30% of the total population, including: 504 persons with self-care disabilities, 2,542 persons with physical disabilities, 1,535 persons with sensory disabilities, 2,260 persons with employment disabilities, and 1,864 persons with go-outside-the-home disabilities. ARC indicates that the Four Corner’s rate for fetal alcohol (FAS) is close to the highest in the nation and that traumatic brain injury, which is mostly related to DWI and child abuse causes, is a significant concern. In 2003, the San Juan Center for Independence (SJCI) provided disability services to a total population of 467. The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) worked with 331 people in San Juan County in 2003, with 52 clients known to be working. The population with disabilities by 2008 is forecast to reach 13,243 representing an additional 2,910 disabled persons since 2000. Comparing the available service information with estimates of the disabled population generated by the 2000 census indicates that self-care disabilities alone in 2000 exceeded service slots provided by San Juan Center for Independence in 2004. 7. Elderly and the Frail Elderly The elderly population is forecasted to be 4,612 persons by 2008, an increase of 15%, without including any in-migration estimate. The Farmington 2000 population over 57 years of age was comprised of 5,537 Whites, followed by Hispanics (627), Native Americans (371) and Other Races (361) with women representing a majority. In 2000, 26% of Farmington’s elderly population was living alone, comprising 1,067 persons. Those elderly living alone represented 176 of the 275 total poverty status elderly in 2000. The elderly represented 74% of all self-care disabilities in 2000 and 2,962 or 73% of all elderly declared they were living with some sort of disability. The surveyed 244 Farmington elderly residents in 2004. The top unmet needs listed included prescription medications (56), vision services (57) and dental health services (30). 8. Children and Youth Status Youth problems include poverty, substance abuse concerns, domestic violence, and unwed mother trends. 9. Childbirth and Prenatal Care San Juan County had the highest birth rate in New Mexico in 2003 and has been among the leading birth rate counties in the state for years. The percentage of live births to single mothers in San Juan County was 50.7% in 2000. In San Juan County, 61.4% of all prenatal care was deemed less than adequate in 2000, compared with 26% nationally and 41% for New Mexico. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Farmington Year 4 Annual Action Plan July 24, 2007 19 10. Poverty Status Farmington registered 1,328 families or 12.9% of all families with incomes below the poverty level in 1999. For those families below the poverty level in Farmington, 842 or 67% were in single parent families. The proportion of families below the poverty level was 5.6% of all married couples, 37% of single male-headed families with related children, and 49% of all single female-headed families with related children. Poverty status by race in 1999 was as follows: 10.5% White, 15.6% Black, 32.2% Native American, 26.7% other race, and 28.4% were two or more races. In addition, 23.6% of persons in poverty are Hispanic who tend to self-reference as “other race” and “two or more” races. Of the 2,474 children identified as living below the poverty level there are: 1,026 or 41.3% Whites, 5 or 0.2% Blacks, 856 or 34.4% Native Americans, 420 or 16.9% Other Race, and 167 or 6.7% Two or More Races. Of this population, 741 or 29.8% of the children are of Hispanic heritage. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Farmington Year 4 Annual Action Plan July 24, 2007 20 Part Eleven: Project Summaries A.
