1 City of Farmington Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program 2013-2014 Community Needs Assessment CDBG Priority Needs Ranking Survey The CDBG Priority Needs Ranking Survey is designed to provide guidance for the development of the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan’s strategic plan and project selection for the next five Annual Action Plans. The survey asked respondents to identify needs in the community and to rank projects allowed by CDBG Regulations from 0-to-10, with zero equaling no need and ten equaling the highest need. A copy of the survey instrument is attached to this report. Public Outreach in Administering the Survey The Priority Needs Ranking Survey Public Outreach List, included in this report, was used to keep track of the agencies contacted. The types of outreach included: Advertised Public Meetings Two advertised public meetings were held to introduce the survey. One meeting was held at the San Juan Center for Independence on May 9, 2013 and another meeting was held at the Sycamore Park Community Center on May 31, 2013. A public notice was published in the Farmington Daily Times, and e-mail lists of public service providers were additionally utilized to provide notification. Group Meetings In 2013, CDBG staff attended four group meetings with Comprehensive Homeless Assistance Providers (CHAP), Four Corners Economic Development, the Farmington Chamber of Commerce, and the Farmington Community Relations Commission. At each of these meetings, CDBG staff presented the background for the survey, its importance in guiding the expenditure of grant funds, and requested that those in attendance take the online survey and distribute the survey in the organizations and businesses that they represent. Distribution of the Survey The online survey link was forwarded to: nonprofit public service providers, the private business community, City of Farmington staff, other local government agencies, and minority contacts. The survey link was also presented to the public at the San Juan County Fair. On-Site Survey Outreach Additionally, on-site survey outreach was conducted in 2013 at the Farmington Public Library, the Farmington Indian Center, the Farmington Senior Center, the Sycamore Park Community Center, and the Boys and Girls Club. At all locations, City staff conducted a 2-hour session with paper copies of the survey. The focus of the on-site survey outreach was to obtain additional survey responses from the general public, minority groups, and special needs groups. A total of 84 paper survey responses were collected at these locations and hand entered into Survey Monkey. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 Distribution of Paper Copies of the Survey Ten (10) paper copies of the survey were also sent to twenty-five (25) public service agencies in the community with a request to ask that clients complete the survey. The focus of this distribution was to obtain additional survey responses from minority groups and special needs groups. Survey Sample Size A total of 342 responses were collected from May to November 2013. Of those, 88 were collected during the additional outreach in October and November 2013. The 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan had a similar survey, utilizing a similar ranking methodology. Survey Responses All online survey responses were collected in Survey Monkey, which is an internet survey service. All paper copies of survey responses were hand entered into Survey Monkey so that all results could be tabulated in one system. An average score between 0 and 10 was calculated for eligible CDBG projects. To show the priority needs in the community, the average scores for eligible CDBG projects were sorted by quartiles. The top quartile is considered a very highly ranked need and the second quartile is considered a highly ranked need. The third and fourth quartiles are considered moderate and low ranked needs. Additionally, the top 10 ranked needs were developed from the responses of different employment types and for the American Indian and Hispanic minority groups. This allows the perspectives of subgroups, in the total sample, to be considered when determining the community’s most highly ranked needs. Of the 342 survey respondents, 107 indicated that they live in San Juan County. County residents were invited to participate in the survey for two reasons. First, HUD provides direction that the needs of the larger community should be considered and that neighboring municipalities should be consulted. Second, almost all of the public outreach was done inside of the City of Farmington and the outreach efforts still connected with county residents while they were in the City of Farmington. People who live in San Juan County do business, use services, and work in the City of Farmington, and their perspectives should be considered. Demographics of the Survey Respondents The following tables, shaded gray and blue, are generated by Survey Monkey and provide an analysis of the survey respondents. Location of Respondent’s Residence The following table indicates that 65.7 percent of the survey respondents live in the City of Farmington, 31.9 percent live in San Juan County, and 2.4 percent live outside of San Juan County. The only survey outreach that occurred in San Juan County was done during the San Juan County Fair. All public meetings and group meetings were held within the City’s corporate boundaries, and all non-profit public service providers that were contacted are located within the City of Farmington. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 Location of Respondent’s Residence Response Percent Response Count 65.7% 220 31.9% 107 2.4% 8 335 7 skipped question City of Farmington CDBG Priority Needs Assessment Outside of San Juan County Answer Options answered question In San Juan County My residence is: In the City of Farmington Respondent Employment Type The following table provides information about the survey respondents by employment type.

At the top of each eligible category is a group average for that category. The average rank is shown for HUD-eligible projects. The survey asks for a 0-10 ranking of projects that are allowed by CDBG Regulations, with zero equaling no need and ten equaling the highest need. The ranking results are color coded by quartile. The red is the highest quartile and equals a very highly-ranked need. The orange is the second highest quartile and equals a highly-ranked need. The yellow quartile is the third highest quartile and is considered a moderate-ranked need. The blue is the lowest quartile and is considered a low-ranked need. The highest-ranked need is homeless veterans with an average ranking of 8.09, and the lowest-ranked need is privately-owned utilities with an average ranking of 3.7. ---PAGE BREAK--- 8 Priority Needs Assessment Survey Needs Ranking by Eligible Project Type Eligible Category Needs Ranking by Eligible Project Type Average Rank Group Average 5.57 01 Acquisition of Real Property 570.201(a) 4.09 03 Public Facilities and Improvements (General) 570.201(c) 5.87 03A Senior Centers 570.201(c) 5.66 03B Handicapped Centers 570.201(c) 5.79 03C Homeless Facilities (not operating costs) 570.201(c) 6.33 03D Youth Centers 570.201(c) 7.05 03E Neighborhood Facilities 570.201(c) 5.65 03F Parks, Recreational Facilities 570.201(c) 5.87 03G Parking Facilities 570.201© 4.13 03H Solid Waste Disposal Improvements 570.201(c) 5.40 03I Flood Drain Improvements 570.201(c) 5.55 03J Water/Sewer Improvements 570.201(c) 5.99 03K Street Improvements 570.201(c) 6.78 03L Sidewalks 570.201(c) 5.82 03M Child Care Centers 570.201(c) 5.80 03N Tree Planting 570.201(c) 4.72 03O Fire Stations/Equipment 570.201(c) 5.60 03P Health Facilities 570.201(c) 6.08 03Q Abused and Neglected Children Facilities 570.201(c) 6.95 03R Asbestos Removal 570.201(c) 4.21 03S Facilities for AIDS Patients (not operating costs) 570.201(c) 4.28 03T Operating Costs of Homeless/AIDS Patients Programs 4.96 Group Average 5.84 05 Public Services (General) 570.201(e) 5.94 05A Senior Services 570.201(e) 6.10 05B Handicapped Services 570.201(e) 6.09 05C Legal Services 570.201(E) 5.08 05D Youth Services 570.201(e) 6.78 05E Transportation Services 570.201(e) 6.23 05F Substance Abuse Services 570.201(e) 6.42 05G Battered and Abused Spouses 570.201(e) 6.81 05H Employment Training 570.201(e) 6.48 05I Crime Awareness 570.201(e) 5.98 05J Fair Housing Activities (if CDBG, then subject to 570.201(e) 5.67 05K Tenant/Landlord Counseling 570.201(e) 5.09 05L Child Care Services 570.201(e) 5.92 05M Health Services 570.201(e) 6.55 05N Abused and Neglected Children 570.201(e) 7.16 05O Mental Health Services 570.201(e) 6.88 05P Screening for Lead-Based Paint/Lead Hazards Poison 570.201(e) 4.09 05Q Subsistence Payments 570.204 3.96 05R Homeownership Assistance (not direct) 570.204 4.87 Lowest Value = 3.70 First Quartile ≤ 5.03 Second Quartile ≤ 5.74 Third Quartile ≤ 6.33 Fourth Quartile, Highest Value ≤ 8.09 Potential Ranking Score from Survey 0 = No Need to 10 = Highest Need Priority Needs Assessment Survey Public Services Public Facilities and Improvements ---PAGE BREAK--- 9 Eligible Category Needs Ranking by Eligible Project Type Average Rank 05S Rental Housing Subsidies (if HOME, not part of 5% 570.204 4.91 05T Security Deposits (if HOME, not part of 5% Admin c 4.46 05V Neighborhood Cleanups 6.15 05W Food Banks 6.59 Group Average 4.19 06 Interim Assistance 570.201(f) 4.29 07 Urban Renewal Completion 570.201(h) 4.58 11 Privately Owned Utilities 570.201(l) (Lowest Rank) 3.70 Group Average 4.99 04 Clearance and Demolition 570.201(d) 5.15 04A Clean-up of Contaminated Sites 570.201(d) 5.83 14A Rehab;

Spelling and grammar have not corrected.) Can you suggest any potential projects that you would like to see funded in the Community with grant money? Better bus systems in the city, Recycling Plants, more Eco developments, plants that help with employment, food/industrial plants. Amusement parks for family fun, or more housing programs with choices. Provide more cultural activities for the community. New schools. College Housing Children and teenagers need a place(s) to call their own. Indoor Skateparks are low in cost and maintenance. Skate parks and more youth facilities/gamerooms. More kid activities Housing assistance and rehabilitation services for medium/working incomed families. Poor people get the help. Working class people don't have a lot of resources. Community Garden Art programs for youth More boys and girls clubs. Daycare for the working father or mother. Drug screening fore assistance. Need to provide the elderly/disabled with housing and keep a closer eye on incomes of people who recieve public housing. People cheat the system and should have to be drug tested and income verified to receive any assistance. Increase public transit for children attending after school programs (i.e. Boys and Girls Club) Drug and Alcohol Testing on a regular basis for any kind of assistance. Regular drug and alcohal testing for welfare recipients. Transitional living for male substance abusers who are in or completing a rehabilitation program. Safe sidewalks to school Anything to do with senior citizens, handicapped, and abused children Job Training Red Apple Suport Literacy Youth Hunter Education Gun Safety Food Bank and Clothing center for the homeless. Programs for people with chronic substance abuse. ---PAGE BREAK--- 13 Positive Youth Development Family and Parenting Skills PATH PATH Path homeless organizations Bullying prevention Training Path PATH More public low income housing. Restore our Historic district and make it a visitor friendly , want to stop and have fun community Rehab and energy efficiency improvements for existing rentals. San Juan County and Farmington adopting International Green Building Code to require all new housing stock to be energy efficient. Helping elderly seniors find better living conditions and not have to pay so much on rent or change to much to pay for living space. Having the red apple transit move the bus location back to the closes senior housing, so the elderly don't have to walk so far to catch the red apple transit. More affordable assisted living centers for the elderly, developmentally disabled and disabled veterans. Also, more funding to house veterans, the elderly and developmentally disabled. Main Street revitalization Youth program to bring in a YMCA. Improvements on sidewalks and public transportation. Job Development programs Veteran San Juan County Programs More Community Centers Substance Abuse residential treatment and short term detox, year round wet shelter, transitional housing. more park patrol on the rivewr walk Build sidewalk path to Kiwanis Park at North end of Park near intersection of Kingsway and Rochester Ave. Also would like to see drainage channel improvements along Kingsway that leads into Kiwanis Park. Shiprock Home for Women and Children, Inc. need operational fundin for victims residing on Indian Reservations, off reservations, and those non-Native married or cohabitating with tribally affiliated individual; restore Farmington Indian Center and expand to include a cultural community center where there will house many prevention, intervention and communication activities. ---PAGE BREAK--- 14 We desperately need more transitional housing programs for substance abusers (and recovering substance abusers). There is no way to break the cycle of substance abuse without transitioning people back into a "normal" way of life, and until our county develops some effective programs along these lines, we will continue to have the street inebriate problem, and people will continue to struggle on the streets abusing alcohol. It's a vicious cycle. Not really, money so much wasted in Administration. I would like to see some consistent signage downtown. Many of the existing signs do not conform to the architecture, and they look "cheesy". If you want people to use the downtown more, it must be more environmentally inviting. Continue efforts to assist homeless Infrastructure upgrades, improvements Rehab, improvements to existing facilities and services No Medical cannabis ,there is a need for more due to not being able to supply patients. infrastructure development and capital improvements. support law enforcement and fire service to meet minimum standards of a community of this size and social/economic population. Utilities improvements to include dilapidated water service, gas, electric and improve waste and recycling services and bury electrical lines. Build safe bike trails that are separate from road systems at least to schools and parks! scrutinize social services for effectiveness, were currently throwing good money after bad. More sidewalks and bicycle paths and lanes. Provide the citizens with safe options to driving. rehab for addicts and alcoholics Need affordable, SAFE housing for low income families. Community homeless shelters with separate living areas or shelters for those with substance abuse, mental illness or temporary assistance. I know of more than a few families with small children who are afraid to let their children go outside and sometimes, the adults don't want to go outside after dark due to the transient population especially during the summer months. Also - many families must travel to Albuquerque for medical specialists (Veterans, children with special needs) because there are no local services. More facilities and services for the homeless Move all the homeless assistance programs out of town. At least get them away from downtown! PATH Homeless shelter Parenting classes and life skills classes at Sycamore Park Community Center. Build an additional parks shelter at Sycamore Park Community Center. Groups funded that are funded by community entities work together to not dupicate services, follow clients better that we are actually helping them not enabling them. A program to see when ---PAGE BREAK--- 15 people are helped are not being held back by regulation that keeps people in a cycle that keeps them in that cycle. Low cost or no cost spay and neuter Rehabilitate public infrastructure. Better Transit System, Road Improvements, Traffic Management Provide bicycle lanes on thoroughfares that currently don't have them. Foothills Drive is very dangerous for cyclists above the 5900 block. Increased bike paths that would allow access to across city and incorporate open space areas in and around subdivisions, much like Denver and Colorad Springs have done. City has a great start witht the Animas river project and Lions Wilderness park. Would like to see the incentives for restaurants, bars, etc. to build closer to river corridor... think San Antonio,TX or Durango, CO. Private/public partnership for affordable elderly housing, condos, etc. None Community Center on East side of City General infrastructure upgrades (water, sewer, roads, sidewalks) NOT infrastructure beautification upgrades that serve no functional purpose. Make systems useable/available first. Low income housing lobbying for stricter legislation for DWI/DUI convictions; public education about the drug and alcohol issues affecting our community; inter-agency communication and cooperation to put forth a consolidated effort to address the social issues of our community (alcohol & drugs, crime, gangs); I am NOT in favor of drunk shelters, I feel it just encourages the drunks to come to Farmington - if we continue to provide food and shelter they will keep coming - Gallup closed their drunk shelters and their street inebriate problem diminished. I AM in favor of public education programs (gang/crime awareness, sexually transmitted disease prevention, drug & alcohol PREVENTION, financial counseling, elderly assistance, clean-up efforts, demolition of unsafe structures (residential or commercial), community policing, etc.) Decent low, medium and high rent condos and apartments. We need better apartments developed in the city. Some for seniors only that don't need assisted living, some for seniors who need minimal assistance, some for physically and mentally disabled persons. We also need medium rent and high rent condos for working people that are kid and pet friendly. We also need to address child abuse issues in this area and have safe houses for kids to go to in time of need. N/A I would like to see something done to help the homeless in our community - public showers, Street inebriates we have to do something about them. ---PAGE BREAK--- 16 We need a larger shelter for homeless families. The ability to house these families is greatly limited and they are the ones that need the greatest protection because children are involved. A recreation center (building) at the Farmington Sports Complex, and a sheltered playground at the complex also. Convert our infrastructure to underground power lines. Assistants with Drug & Alcohol abuse. Its just snow balling down to the younger generations and we need better influence in our community. restructure down town have main one way and broadway one way. change the parking to allow more and better parking. encourage business to locate there. Make it more like Durangos main. More apartments buildings not for low income individuals that are reasonably priced. I would like to see improvements in the youth services areas. Espcecially young children who are homeless or are in shelters None A new police station, more officers, larger jails. Housing for the elderly Holiday and Summer lunches for children and teens. Bike lanes. Expanding the river trails for wider paved sidewalks to encourage cyclists, walkers, etc. Creating a north-south urban walk for cyclists, walkers, etc. with connections to parks. There is a real need for services for Pre-K...from education programs to family support. Also, a very underserved population is Developmentally Disabled. There used to be 'Halfway There', but I do not know of a program that has replaced that. Community Centers are of great investment to this community and in great need. I have witness the positive impact that Sycamore Center has had in that community and I beleive the Crouch Mesa and Troy King area would benefit from it too. a day care program for the mentally ill, an inpatient detoxification facility for alcoholics attached to a 2-3 month treatment center and halfway house, supportive housing for the chronically mentally ill, Healing Circle Drop-In Center in Shiprock operating costs and program activities Homeless Shelter Transitional Housing Mental Health outpatient services to address adolescents before they become urgent/emergent with their needs. Half Way Housing I believe that Farmington needs a YMCA for youth. Improved facilities for new American Legion Hall for Veterans or a Veterans Hall. New housing units for affordable and transportation vans to ---PAGE BREAK--- 17 help people get to work up to four months. A Car Pool area to help defray costs such as vans for public use. Combat poverty with consistant food banks. Church groups can apply for funding. Parenting Classes. LOW INCOME AND UNDER EMPLOYED HOUSING CHILD CARE CENTERS FOR AFTER 5 USAGE Work incentive programs for the homeless that promotes self sufficiency. Rental housing for the homeless and children that encourages self sufficiency. Youth organized programs for less fortunate children, like baseball, soccer, basketball and providing transportation to these activities. These are the children who need these type of program. Funding/scholarship for less fortunate children to participate in summer programs like Kids Kollege to encourage learning and participation in fun activities that promote positive social skills. Tranistional living for youth and adults and families. Low income housing. The community needs adolescent treatment centers for mental illness. These needs are growing. Employment opportunities brought to our area and surrounding that pay rates that allow our community members to provide housing, utilities, and transportation without making them dependent upon the government. Improve pedestrian access and safety. Sidewalks. Sidewalks. Sidewalks Expansion of River Trail System for recreation. (pedestrian bridges across the river) Building more youth places to help bring down the juvenile crime rate. Keping them busy with stuff they like and enjoy doing will keep them from making bad decisions in the future. Youth activities, and events for children Recreation/activity centers for all age groups. Clean up abandoned properties and rehab them, code enforcement, put youth activities first, do something about the homeless it is the same people over and over. Expansion of homeless shelter operations, specifically PATH. Additional low income housing Build Affordable Housing Within San Juan County. A beautiful park in the community of Kirtland would be nice for the children this would allow parents and familes not to go to the school playgrounds. A place like Sycamore Park for Kirtland would be nice as well. As we all know transportation is a huge factor for some families. Affordable Housing Home ownership Employment training Substance Abuse rehab New Animal Shelter Animas River recreational development ---PAGE BREAK--- 18 Huge need for jail sentences tied to treatment for those who are coming into our town just to drink and take advantage of all the free services.

Utilities are extremely high in most instances, even those of us that are middle-upper class in economics; housing standards are random and even where there are ordinances and covenants, there is little or no enforcement, so the standard of a neighborhood is not fluid.

Drugs,alcohol and homeless the more u give the more they expect. they will just tear up what u give them. Yes. Some of the housing programs are unrealistic. Such as the Section 8 programs medium income limits of 16 to 17,000 for a single person living in an economy where 10 to 12,000 of their monies go for rent. Also the fact that they count school loans as income is rediculous. Other impacts are the 1 time help programs. They don't help a person learn how to find sustainable solutions to their rental situations. The criteria that states you are disqualified from getting help if your landlord does not respond to phone calls or letters to inspect properties, suggest that the housing program should send out someone to meet with landlords who place low income residents in danger of losing housing assistance due to lack of response, rather than cancel their rental assistance. Other barriers for homeless persons who may have a minimum income of 200 per month should be assisted as long as they go back to school or seek higher paying positions. If going back to school, a worker should work with homeless individuals to educate them and require them to pay rents over the span of 4 months with tuition disbursements per semester to ensure no eviction is a danger. Also work with the homeless on academic performances and scholastic struggles that may cause problems with housing retention due to drop out rate because of lack of housing, rental assistance on top of struggles with meeting academic expectations Housing within Farmington tends to be more expensive than other municipalities and county. none ---PAGE BREAK--- 26 Affordable housing is not available near jobs.
