Table 30 Attachments 39 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 1 City of Farmington 2012 Annual Action Plan October 1, 2012 - September 30, 2013 Part One: Executive Summary The City of Farmington is entitled under a formula allocation to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 2004 and 2009, the City adopted Consolidated Plans that identified community needs, goals, and objectives. Included in the 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan is a 5-year Strategic Plan to address the City’s priority needs. An Annual Action Plan identifies and prioritizes key information on community development needs and lists proposed projects and their annual budgets. Table 1 is a summary of the funds available, the 2012 Annual Action Plan projects, and the proposed budget. Note: Due to a $27.25 mathematical error, the approved project budgets below are short of the total available grant amount. This amount is within the Capital Projects category. The Capital Projects budget can not be changed at this point due to time constraints. Therefore, this amount will be included in a future Action Plan amendment, which is expected to be processed the fall of 2012.

Lead Agency The City of Farmington CDBG Division is the lead agency in charge of administering the Community Development Block Grant. B. Annual Action Plan Process The Action Plan process combines the Request for Proposal (RFP) process with the Action Plan process. Partner agencies are selected concurrently with the adoption of the Action Plan. The following work schedule shows all of the key dates, meetings, and actions for the process of developing and adopting the 2012 Annual Action Plan. All of the actions that are in bold were publicly noticed in the Farmington Daily Times and posted on the City’s web site. The Draft 2012 Annual Action Plan was made available for review at the City of Farmington City Clerk’s Office, the Community Development Department, the Farmington Library, and on the City’s web site. 2012 Annual Action Plan Work Schedule • Introduction to the Action Plan Process . . . . . . . . . . . .

Coordination With Public and Private Agencies Information regarding the Action Plan Process and the Request for Proposal publication was also sent out to e-mail lists of the following local agencies: the Affordable Housing Alliance; San Juan Safe Communities; the Local Collaborative; and the San Juan County Home Builders Association. These agencies cover virtually all non-profit services providers in San Juan County. The Home Builders Association is included to provide notice to the for-profit housing side of the community. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 3 The draft Action Plan was sent to San Juan County and the Cities of Aztec and Bloomfield for their review and comment prior to adoption. The draft Action Plan public notice was also posted in Spanish in the local paper and a public hearing notice was posted in the Farmington Indian Center, at the Sycamore Park Community Center, and San Juan Center for Independence. The Farmington Indian Center was selected because it is a gathering place for meals and provides a number of community services. The Sycamore Park Community Center was selected because it is located in the lowest income neighborhood and in the highest concentration of Hispanic population in the community. San Juan Center for Independence was selected because it is the primary service provider for the disabled in the community. Part Three: Available Funds 91.220(b)(1), 91.220 Federal Resources: The 2012 CDBG budget for Farmington is $352,185. This is about $37,000 less than last year’s budget and less than originally estimated for the 2012 Federal Fiscal year in the 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan. The Public Service budget, capped at 15 percent, is $52,827.75 and the Capital Projects budget is $228,893.00. Note: Due to a $27.25 mathematical error, the approved project budgets below are short of the total available grant amount. This amount is within the Capital Projects category. The Capital Projects budget can not be changed at this point due to time constraints. Therefore, this amount will be included in a future Action Plan amendment, which is expected to be processed the fall of 2012. Income The City of Farmington has not undertaken any CDBG projects that have generated any program income. Leveraging: There is no specific requirement for leveraging with CDBG grant funds. The 2012 Annual Action Plan’s Capital Improvement and Economic Development projects have the potential to leverage other grant funds and private funds. However, the exact amounts will not be known until projects are awarded and contracts are finalized. City Resources: The City of Farmington supports Community Service Agencies through service contracts to benefit the community. This funding comes from the General Fund and Liquor Excise Tax. Table 2 details the Farmington fiscal year 2012 budget for Community Services. This information was provided by the Administrative Services Department. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 4 Table 2 Totah Behavioral Health $100,000 4 Winds Recovery Center $273,600 The Roof Operations Contract $57,000 Family Crisis Center $12,000 Path/Daily Bread $15,000 Childhaven $24,000 Northwest NM Seniors $1,400 PMS - Roundtree $20,000 4 Winds Grant Pass Thru $273,600 Safe Communities $40,000 Sexual Assault $15,000 Community Relations Comm. $20,000 NM Centennial $25,000 ECHO Back Packs $6,500 Total $883,100 City of Farmington Fiscal Year 2012 Community Service Budget ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 5 Part Four: Summary of Priorities and Objectives 91.220(c) All Action Plan projects and activities are based upon priorities identified through public input during the development of the 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan and the 2011 Analysis of Impediments.

Planning and Administrative Cap - The maximum 20% administrative cap will not be exceeded. The 2012 CDBG formula grant is $352,185. The proposed 2012 Annual Action Plan Planning and Administrative budget is $ 70,437, which is 20% of the budget. Public Service Cap - The maximum 15% public service cap will not be exceeded. The 2012 CDBG formula grant is $352,185 and 15% of this amount is $52,827.75. Capital Projects – There is no limit on capital projects but after the 20% planning and administrative and 15% public service caps are taken out, 65 percent of the total funds, or $228,893, is available for capital projects. Low/Mod Benefit Excluding Planning and Administrative costs, all budgeted funds will be used to assist Low-Moderate Clientele. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 7 Part Seven: Geographic Mapping 91.220 A. Targeted Low- and –Moderate Income Neighborhoods During the development of the 2010 Annual Action Plan, it was necessary to revise the Targeted Low- and Mod-Income Neighborhood table and map. Federal regulation CFR 570.208 (ii) provides direction on qualifying Low- and Moderate-Areas and the following table and map complies with the federal requirements. CFR 570.208 (ii) and exception, states that all census block groups in the highest quartile of block groups, of Low-Mod concentration, qualifies as a Low/Mod Area, not just the block groups that are 51% or higher. CFR 570.208 (ii) exception, states “the block group which would be fractionally divided between the highest and second quartiles shall be considered to be part of the highest quartile”. There are 35 Block Groups within the City of Farmington but only 33 Block Groups have a population; dividing that by four gives 8.25, which leaves a fraction. Per exception the block group that falls within the fraction is considered to be part of the highest quartile. So the highest 8 block groups and the ninth block group, which is the fractional block group between the highest and second quartiles, all qualify for Low- and Moderate-Area projects. The City of Farmington still has to use the 2000 U.S. Census data for income for two reasons. First, the 2010 U.S. Census avoided the question of income. Second, the American Community Survey (ACS) does not publish income data on the Block Group geography level for the City of Farmington. While data is being collected on income, not enough data has been collected to provide reliable confidence levels at the Block Group level. Table 5 below shows the concentration of Low-Mod populations by all Census Tract Block Groups in Farmington’s Jurisdiction. The tracts shaded green qualify under the 51 percent requirement. The blue shading shows the block group that meets CFR 570.208 (ii) as part of the highest quartile, the yellow shading shows the block groups that meets the CFR 570.208 (ii) exception. Map 1 on page 9 of this report shows all of the qualifying block groups that make up the City’s targeted low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 8 Table 5 Track Block Group Low-Mod Universe Low-Mod Population Low-Mod Percent 000100 5 597 431 72% 000402 4 1451 898 62% 000205 3 1539 910 59% 000100 2 1208 695 58% 000100 4 1389 776 56% 000401 3 1674 932 56% 000402 5 1280 652 51% 000606 2 2,007 978 49% 000204 2 1616 716 44% 000302 3 639 275 43% 000501 1 2130 900 42% 000401 4 661 275 42% 000205 4 2504 1033 41% 000302 4 949 365 38% 000205 1 1298 471 36% 000301 1 1447 478 33% 000302 2 604 163 27% 000100 1 175 47 27% 000100 3 1015 262 26% 000301 4 1541 370 24% 000605 2 228 54 24% 000204 1 535 114 21% 000301 2 874 171 20% 000202 3 577 108 19% 000301 3 845 157 19% 000302 1 1057 190 18% 000202 2 1095 159 15% 000401 2 1283 185 14% 000201 1 1013 140 14% 000401 1 1126 143 13% 000201 2 1978 238 12% 000205 2 948 75 8% 000202 1 1828 115 6% Source HUD Data Users Web Page 2010 - 2000 US Census Block Groups with 51% or more Low Mod Population Part of the Highest Quartile but below 51% Low-Mod Concentration by Census Track Block Groups The block group which would be fractionally divided between the highest and second quartiles shall be considered to be part of the highest quartile. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 9 Map 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 10 B.

Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities 91.220(e) The 2012 Annual Action Plan specifically addresses the homeless and those with special needs with four projects: • A Path Home – Transitional Housing for up to 12 one bedroom apartments for families with children. • San Juan County Partnership – Emergency rental assistance provides move-in and eviction prevention. • Senior Home Care – Provides assistance with seniors with medical conditions. • MASADA House – Transitional housing with treatment for addiction. The MASADA House and the PATH Home projects address Chronic Homelessness by providing transitional housing, treatment, and training to homeless individuals to re-enter the traditional housing market. B. Anti-Poverty Strategy 91.215 The following projects from the 2012 Annual Action Plan address the reduction of poverty. Emergency Rental Assistance – This project provides move-in assistance and eviction prevention to low income families. Daycare Assistance – This project helps to keep young parents in school by providing daycare assistance to eligible families enrolled at San Juan College. Part Ten: Other Actions 91.220(f) To develop institutional structure, and to enhance coordination between public and private housing, the City of Farmington is a member of the local Affordable Housing Alliance (AHA). Also, all RFP submittals for CDBG projects include a pre-proposal meeting to allow agencies the opportunity to ask questions and learn how to put together a quality proposal. Part Eleven: Public Housing 91.22 There are no public housing projects in Farmington, or San Juan County, NM. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 17 Part Twelve: Monitoring 91.230 The City of Farmington monitors the CDBG program in the following ways: • Training • Informal Monitoring • Formal Monitoring • Invoice Monitoring • Mid-Year Financial Monitoring • Contract Monitoring • Accomplishments • CAPER • Long Term Monitoring Training – The CDBG Division works with the management and case workers of partner agencies to ensure that all key personnel understand their contract’s scope of services, pertinent Federal Regulations, and accomplishment reporting. This occurs after contracts are signed and as part of the project startup. Informal Monitoring – Farmington is a relatively small community and the CDBG Division staff has frequent contacts with its partner agencies. Phone calls are also made to check-up on specific issues or just to see how things are going. Occasionally memos to the project file are created to document these conversations. Formal Monitoring – CDBG Division has developed a multi-page monitoring worksheet. This worksheet includes a wide variety of review questions and regulation compliance check-offs. The partner agency is provided a copy of the worksheet and an appointment is made for an on-site visit. During that visit, case files are reviewed, the worksheet is filled out, and any findings or concerns are noted. A copy of the final worksheet is provided to the partner agency for their review. Any findings or concerns will be corrected and documentation of the fixes kept in the project file. Invoice Monitoring – All partner agencies are required to submit documented invoices for CDBG payments. The documentation must include justification of paid expenses and required accomplishments. The CDBG Division reviews the invoices to ensure that they are both eligible and reasonable costs. This is the most frequent type of monitoring that occurs. Mid-Year Financial Monitoring – This type of monitoring reviews the progress made in the implementation of the CDBG project and the progress of spending project funds prior to targeted project completion dates. A report on this monitoring is developed after March 31 or the end of the second CDBG fiscal quarter. Contract Monitoring – The CDBG Division monitors expenditures by project contract to ensure that funds are being drawn down in a timely manner and to ensure contract compliance. Accomplishments – All contracts for CDBG projects include in the scope of services, a requirement to provide an end of the year accomplishment report. These include all data required to report accomplishments in HUD’s IDIS web page. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 18 CAPER – The Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) includes a summary of the year’s monitoring efforts. This report is prepared by the CDBG Division, made available to the public for review and comment, presented to and adopted by the City Council, and submitted to HUD for Federal review. The CAPER focuses on accomplishments, financial reporting, and compliance with Federal regulations. Long Term Monitoring - The City of Farmington has developed some CDBG projects that have long-term compliance requirements such as the development of housing, the operation of facilities, and liens on properties that are forgivable over time. These types of projects and long term scopes of services require an annual monitoring effort for 5, 10, or 15 years. Long term monitoring results are included in the annual CAPER. Part Thirteen: Lead Based Paint Hazards 91.215 There are no specific Action Plan projects that relate to Lead-Based Paint prevention and there are no proposed housing rehabilitation projects. Part Fourteen: Public Participation 91.105(a) All applicable citizen participation requirements have been met or exceeded for the 2012 Action Plan process. The following comes from the 2012 Annual Action Plan Work Schedule and details all of the publicly advertised meetings or hearings in the process. All public hearing notices were published 16 days prior to the meeting or hearing except for the Project Proposal RFP which was published 26 days prior to the submittal deadline. State Procurement Code requires a minimum of 21 days for Requests for Proposals (RFP). The Draft Action Plan Public Comment period was from June 26 through July 24 for 29 days. 2012 Annual Action Plan Public Participation Schedule • Introduction to the Action Plan Process . . . . . . . . . . . .

The following section on Public Participation is from the 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan: Sec. 91.100 Consultation; local governments 1. The City of Farmington shall consult with other public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health services, and social and fair housing services (including those focusing on services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, homeless persons) during preparation of the Consolidated Plan. 2. When preparing the portion of the Consolidated Plan describing the jurisdiction's homeless strategy, the City of Farmington shall consult with public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health services, and social services to determine what resources are available to address the needs of any persons that are chronically homeless. 3. When preparing the Consolidated Plan’s section concerning lead-based paint hazards, the City of Farmington shall consult with state or local health and child welfare agencies and examine existing data related to lead-based paint hazards and poisonings, including health department data on the addresses of housing units in which children have been identified as lead poisoned. 4. When preparing the description of priority nonhousing community development needs, the City of Farmington shall notify and work with San Juan County and the adjacent Cities of Aztec and Bloomfield. 5. The City of Farmington will also consult with San Juan County and the adjacent Cities of Aztec and Bloomfield particularly for problems and solutions that go beyond a single jurisdiction. During this 2012 Annual Action Plan year, the City of Farmington will continue to consult with area governments and local agencies. The City is an active member of the local Affordable Housing Alliance (AHA) which is a mixture of many nonprofit service providers, developers, banking, and real estate representatives. This diverse group will be consulted on a variety of issues and AHA will be specifically invited to comment on all upcoming plans and reports. They will be an integral component of the CDBG Public Participation Process. City of Farmington CDBG staff will also continue to work with the County and the other two neighboring cities, Aztec and Bloomfield. Part Fifteen: Community Profile 91.205 and 91.210 The CDBG Division is currently working on a new 2012 Housing Affordability Update, and it will be submitted to HUD and presented to the City Council as a stand-alone document in the near future. To provide a community profile element to this Action Plan, a section from the new update on income, rental affordability, and housing affordability has been added at the end of this report in the attachments section. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 20 A. Barriers to Affordable Housing 91.210(e) The City of Farmington’s new 2011 Analysis to Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) report was accepted by the City Council on October 11, 2011. In the AI, creating a Credit Repair Class was identified as a highly ranked need, and for the 2012 Annual Action Plan a new Credit Repair project has been selected by the City Council. The City of Farmington also plans on the following actions during the 2012 fiscal year: • Public information display in the public lobby of the Community Development Department and in the CDBG office. • Public information display and handouts at the San Juan Homebuilders Expo. • Public awareness actions during April as Fair Housing Month. • Active recruitment of annual action plan project partners who can provide AI related projects including projects that assist the disabled and address credit repair or counseling. B. Affordable Housing Goals 91.215(b) The City of Farmington City Council adopted its first Affordable Housing Strategic Plan on May 24, 2011. This document built upon the CDBG Division’s Housing Affordability 2010 Update and Housing Needs Assessment in the 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan. City Staff has created a draft Affordable Housing Ordinance which has been sent to the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority for review. C. Special Populations 91.220(e) The 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan includes documentation of Homeless Needs and the Special Needs of the Non-Homeless Populations. Key issues or needs identified include: • Substance abuse and alcohol addiction • Services for the elderly and frail elderly • Services for the disabled and disabled veterans • Families in poverty Only one area in the special populations needs assessment was identified as an area of low priority and that was assistance to persons with HIV/AIDS. There are very small numbers of HIV/AIDS patients identified in this community as reported in the 2008 Community Health Assessment.

The income groups, 80%, 50%, and 30% MFI, are standard income categories established by HUD for reporting and qualification of benefits. The three income groups also correlate to the descriptions Moderate, Low, and Very Low Income. For example, all CDBG projects administered by the City target 80% MFI or moderate income. In addition, the 50% MFI group or low income is one of the definitions of families in greatest need, which is part of the needs assessment in the 2009 – 2014 Consolidated Plan. This table shows that there are a total of 4,190 families in the City of Farmington that earn less than 50% MFI and are considered to be in greatest need.

Rental Affordability for Socio-Economic Groups The rental data from the Farmington Daily Times used in Table 2 below primarily comes from Farmington, Aztec, and Bloomfield but does cover rentals in the San Juan County area. Therefore the income data used to determine rental affordability is for San Juan County. Table 2 below compares the median family incomes of key socio-economic groups and the median costs of rentals by number of bedrooms and the type of rental. On the left side of the table are the different family groups and types of households, with their median incomes. The next column shows the affordable (30 percent of gross income) rental payment for each group. This is what the median family in a group can afford. Across the top of the table are the median rental prices by number of bedrooms and the type of rentals from the Farmington Daily Times data. In the comparison cells are a calculated percentage, which represents the percent of the group’s median income that must be expended to pay for the median cost by bedroom and type of rental. For example, the median income American Indian Family would have to pay 35.06 percent of their income to rent a median priced three-bedroom rental, and this type of rental would be considered unaffordable. The comparison cells in the table are color coded by the percent of the income required to pay for the rental. Families with the “greatest need” pay over 50 percent and are shaded purple. Families that pay 30 percent or more are considered unaffordable and are shaded orange. Families that pay 25 percent or more are considered marginally affordable and are shaded yellow. The green shaded cells are considered affordable. The four-bedroom rental category is not affordable to any socio-economic group. One- bedroom units and apartments are the most affordable but are still not affordable to female head of householders, young households, and those earning 30% MFI or less. The median three-bedroom rental price is affordable to those making the median family income of $52,039, but is not affordable to those making 80% MFI or less, old or young households, Native Americans or Hispanics. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 42 Table 2 1 Bed 2 Bed 3 Bed 4 Bed Apartments Townhome Condo Houses Mobile Homes 500 $ 650 $ 900 $ 1,300 $ 600 $ 1,050 $ 1,100 $ 700 $ Median Family Income ( all families) # of Families $ 52,039 $ 1,301 11.53% 14.99% 20.75% 29.98% 13.84% 24.21% 25.37% 16.14% <80% MFI 13,060 $ 41,631 $ 1,041 14.41% 18.74% 25.94% 37.47% 17.29% 30.27% 31.71% 20.18% <50% MFI 7,919 $ 26,020 $ 650 23.06% 29.98% 41.51% 59.96% 27.67% 48.43% 50.73% 32.28% <30% MFI 4,753 $ 15,612 $ 390 38.43% 49.96% 69.18% 99.93% 46.12% 80.71% 84.55% 53.81% RACE of FAMILY # of Families White alone, not Hispanic or Latino 21,727 $ 55,409 $ 1,385 10.83% 14.08% 19.49% 28.15% 12.99% 22.74% 23.82% 15.16% American Indian and Alaska Native 12,386 $ 30,805 $ 770 19.48% 25.32% 35.06% 50.64% 23.37% 40.90% 42.85% 27.27% Hispanic or Latino origin (of any race) 6,964 $ 30,703 $ 768 19.54% 25.40% 35.18% 50.81% 23.45% 41.04% 42.99% 27.36% HOUSEHOLD INCOME BY AGE OF # of Households 15 to 24 years 1,585 $ 15,856 $ 396 37.84% 49.19% 68.11% 98.39% 45.41% 79.47% 83.25% 52.98% 25 to 44 years 12,719 $ 44,851 $ 1,121 13.38% 17.39% 24.08% 34.78% 16.05% 28.09% 29.43% 18.73% 45 to 64 years 18,766 $ 54,100 $ 1,353 11.09% 14.42% 19.96% 28.84% 13.31% 23.29% 24.40% 15.53% 65 years and over 8,633 $ 32,542 $ 814 18.44% 23.97% 33.19% 47.94% 22.13% 38.72% 40.56% 25.81% FAMILIES # of Families With children under 18 years 13,154 $ 44,209 $ 1,105 13.57% 17.64% 24.43% 35.29% 16.29% 28.50% 29.86% 19.00% With no children under 18 years 17,085 $ 59,497 $ 1,487 10.08% 13.11% 18.15% 26.22% 12.10% 21.18% 22.19% 14.12% Married-couple families 19,292 $ 62,895 $ 1,572 9.54% 12.40% 17.17% 24.80% 11.45% 20.03% 20.99% 13.36% Female householder, no husband present 6,320 $ 21,426 $ 536 28.00% 36.40% 50.41% 72.81% 33.60% 58.81% 61.61% 39.20% Male householder, no wife present 4,627 $ 45,298 $ 1,132 13.25% 17.22% 23.84% 34.44% 15.89% 27.82% 29.14% 18.54% HOUSEHOLD TENURE # of Occupied Households Owner occupied (dollars) 29,328 52,690 $ $ 1,317 11.39% 14.80% 20.50% 29.61% 13.66% 23.91% 25.05% 15.94% Renter occupied (dollars) 12,375 31,046 $ $ 776 19.33% 25.12% 34.79% 50.25% 23.19% 40.58% 42.52% 27.06% Source: 2010 American Community-S1903 and City of Farmington Daily Times Rental Survey 2010 Data <25% of Income = Affordable Rental Housing Affordability - Median Income of Socio-Economic Groups by Median Rental Cost as a Percentage of Income San Juan County Median Family Income and Farmington Daily Times Rental Survey Rentals by Number of Bedrooms Rentals By Type Race, Age, Family Type Median Price by Type and Bed # of Families or Households 2010 SJC Median Family Income 30% of Median Income (Max Affordable) >50% of Income = Families in the Greatest Need >30% of Income = Unaffordable >25% of Income = Marginally Affordable ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 43 c. Home Mortgage Affordability for Socio-Economic Groups The housing price data from the San Juan County Assessor used in Table 3 below is specifically City of Farmington Data, therefore the income data used is also specifically for the City of Farmington to show the best comparison. Table 3 compares the median family incomes of socio-economic groups and their ability to purchase the median priced home, townhome/condo, or manufactured home. On the left side of the table are the different family groups and household types with their median incomes. The next column shows the recommended maximum home value for each group. This value was calculated with the assistance of a banking loan officer and research on a number of internet loan calculators. A number of assumptions were made in this calculation: 10 percent down, 4.5 percent interest rate, PPI mortgage insurance, typical property insurance, and taxes. A number of mortgages were calculated for home values around the median prices and an average ratio of income to value was created. The final calculation used for this table is, a family’s income is 26 percent of the recommended maximum home value. For example, if a family’s income is $51,790 (80% MFI), divide the income by 0.26 and the recommended maximum home value is $199,191. Utilities are still not included for this estimate so like in the rental affordability section above, the concept of Marginally Affordable is used. The assumptions used in Table 3 differ from the 2010 Housing Affordability Update, which used 2008 data. The 2010 Housing Affordability Update used 5 percent down, 6.5 percent interest, and a final ratio of 29 percent. Banks are now typically looking for higher down payments after the down turn in the housing market. If a family can put down 10 percent, the payments go down and homes become more affordable, but far fewer families can afford a $15,000 to $25,000 down payment since the recession. In doing this research it was found that there are some lenders allowing lower down payments but the interest charged for those loans is significantly higher and these loans are a very small percentage of the current local market. In the comparison cells, the median price for houses, townhomes/condos, and manufactured homes is subtracted from the recommended maximum price by family and household groups. The green cells are positive numbers and represent affordability. The yellow cells are positive numbers but are less than $10,000 and are considered marginally affordable. If there are even minor changes in the terms of the loan or a family’s income or credit rating, that type of housing could become unaffordable. The orange cells show negative numbers and by how much a family cannot afford the type of home. American Indian, Hispanic, young and old families, those making less than 50% MFI, and Female Householders, are the most unable to afford to purchase housing. One key improvement since the 2008 data in the 2010 Housing Affordability Update is that now the median family income can afford the median priced site built home. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 44 Table 3 Income Groups Median Income City of Farmington Recommended Max Home Value 2010 Median of All Farmington Sales 2008-2010 3 Year Average Ratio 26% Houses Town Homes/ Condos Mobile Homes All Types 197,000 $ 175,000 $ $125,000 $196,000 Median Family Income 64,737 $ $ 248,988 80% MFI 51,790 $ $ 199,191 2,191 $ 3,191 $ 50% MFI 32,369 $ $ 124,494 (72,506) $ (50,506) $ (506) $ (71,506) $ 30% MFI 19,421 $ $ 74,697 (122,303) $ (100,303) $ (50,303) $ (121,303) $ RACE of FAMILY White alone, not Hispanic or Latino 63,154 $ $ 242,900 American Indian and Alaska Native 45,109 $ $ 173,496 (23,504) $ (1,504) $ (22,504) $ Hispanic or Latino origin (of any race) 39,013 $ $ 150,050 (46,950) $ (24,950) $ (45,950) $ HOUSEHOLD INCOME BY AGE OF HOUSEHOLDER 15 to 24 years 17,522 $ $ 67,392 (129,608) $ (107,608) $ (57,608) $ (128,608) $ 25 to 44 years 54,255 $ $ 208,673 45 to 64 years 70,447 $ $ 270,950 65 years and over 40,033 $ $ 153,973 (43,027) $ (21,027) $ (42,027) $ FAMILIES With own children under 18 years 51,349 $ $ 197,496 496 $ 1,496 $ With no own children under 18 years 77,519 $ $ 298,150 Married-couple families 74,159 $ $ 285,227 Female householder, no husband present 29,733 $ $ 114,358 (82,642) $ (60,642) $ (10,642) $ (81,642) $ Male householder, no wife present 51,379 $ $ 197,612 612 $ 1,612 $ HOUSEHOLD TENURE Owner occupied (dollars) 69,644 $ $ 267,862 Renter occupied (dollars) 38,290 $ $ 147,269 (49,731) $ (27,731) $ (48,731) $ Unaffordable (by how much) Marginal Affordability = within 10k Affordable 2010 City of Farmington Median Housing Price by Type Housing Affordability City of Farmington Median Family Income by Race, Age, and Family Type Compared with Median Housing Prices by Structure Type and Median of All Sales Source: 2008-2010 American Community Survey 3 Year Average, City of Farmington and 2010 San Juan County Assessor's Sales Data ---PAGE BREAK--- 2012 Annual Action Plan 45
