Executive Summary ES-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The City of Deerfield Beach shares a common border with the cities of Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Lighthouse Point, Hillsboro Beach and Coconut Creek. The City has an inter-local agreement with Broward County. In addition, the city interacts formally and informally with numerous state and regional agencies, utility companies, authorities and special districts for provision and regulation services. The housing needs assessment over the next five years for this plan was gathered from the 2009-2013 American Community Survey and supported by the 2013 US Census Bureau. Deerfield Beach is a suburban community located in Broward County, FL with a population of 78,000. The beachfront city is a popular destination for both permanent and seasonal residents including the region’s senior population. In 2004, the population was estimated at 77,039 with a projection to increase to 80,880 by 2010 and 93,040 by 2020. The population growth from the 2004 information and the 2013 US Census represents a 20.8% increase. Like much of Broward County, Deerfield Beach, FL is essentially built out, which is contributed to this unanticipated projected shortfall. With just three percent vacant land, the city is now looking at how to accommodate future growth through infill development and redevelopment. The estimated median household income in 2013 is $38,353 with a household size of 2.38 residents compared to $34,041 at 2.02 residents in 2000. The City’s defined areas of low and moderate concentration consist of Census tract Block Groups 102.00, 103.01, 103.03, 103.04, 103.05, 103.06, 103.07, 104.03, 104.05, 107.01 and 107.02. Using the 2009 – 2013 American Community Survey, 44.2% of the City of Deerfield Beach population is minority (25.6% Black or Africa American, 0.2% Native American, 1.5% Asian, 14.2% Hispanic, and 2.7 two or more races). The white population comprises 65.8% of the population. Homelessness Persons threaten with Homeless and Homeless Needs The City of Deerfield Beach will continue to work with Broward County’s Continuum of Care Homeless Program to prevent a return to homelessness for a family or individuals that most often unable to acquire and maintain regular, safe, secure and adequate housing. The Continuum of Care Program is a comprehensive management concept that requires a combination of needed services to be brought together in a coordinated manner to help move to self-sufficiency. The City has built partnerships and will continue to work with its partners that provide the direct services to the homeless, which includes those who live in Deerfield Beach. The City will continue to work in conjunction with the County and the Continuum of Care, and will support and facilitate a coordinated strategy for providing additional shelters to families and individuals in need of assistance. The City adopts and supports Broward County homeless priorities by its participation on the Homeless Initiative Partnership (HIP) Advisory Board. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 1 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The staff used the 200-2013 CHAS data supported by 2013 American Community Survey 1-Year estimate data where necessary to determine the needs going forward for the Strategic Plan. The purpose of the plan is to set priorities for funding activities for the next five years or until amended. The major point of concern used in the determination of priorities is the housing cost burden challenge facing low and moderate income residents. Staff estimates that 40% of the city of Deerfield Beach households cost burdened (paying more than 35% of household income towards housing cost). Low and moderate income households have a much greater chance of living in a cost burdened condition, 50% of families whose household income is between 0-80% HAMFI annually are cost burdened as opposed to 30% of families whose annual household income is 80% or higher.. Cost burdened homeowners are more likely to struggle with housing repair. The Community Housing Assessment estimates that 14,230 units within the City of Deerfield Beach lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. In addition, 25,724 of the owner occupied housing units in the city were built from 1950-1979. The relative age of the housing stock housing deterioration due to aging becomes a large expense for cost burdened low and moderate income households. Cost Burdened renters are less likely to be able to save towards homeownership. More than half of renterhouseholds, 5,520, live in a cost burdened situation. To address housing repair and the reduction of cost burdened families, the Strategy Plan includes Housing Rehabilitation, Acquisition, Homeowner Assistance and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance as high priorities. However, it is important to note that Cost Burden has historically been a problem for the residents. During a sharp decline in housing values from 2007-2011 ($504,600 - $298,000), the median monthly owner cost for City of Deerfield Beach residents remained $1,447. This means that household income must be addressed. Earning power of Deerfield Beach is complicit in most housing problems and generally adversely affects family socio-economic growth. According to the Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-in-time Count Report the top reason for homelessness is “Employment/Financial” followed by “Foreclosure”. To address household earning power, Job Training, Economic Development and Education are high priorities in the Strategic Plan. 3. Evaluation of past performance In PY 2013, the City implemented a HUD approved work out plan to expend the CDBG balances that had accrued from the program being on hold and transitioning to a different department and management team. The City successfully executed this workout plan and in June of 2014 met HUD’s annual timeliness test. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 2 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City of Deerfield Beach held two public hearings to obtain from the residents, businesses, property owners, community leaders and elected officials. They were held on January 7, 2015 and May 7, 2015. Outreach was conducted to ascertain the interest of the community through notices in the local paper, notices placed in the library, public agencies and places, city hall, e-mail and web-site. 5.

The City will support grant applications by social service and other non-profit agencies that meet needs identified in this Consolidated Plan, provided the organizations demonstrate the capacity to implement the proposed activities. In updating the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida, the South Florida Regional Planning Council sought the input of all local jurisdictions in the region, which includes Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties, as well as interested agencies, organizations and individuals in order to identify those strategic issues which most impact the region. The SRPP establishes strategic regional goals and policies designed to move the region toward becoming a livable, sustainable and competitive community. This strategy recognizes a set of interrelated issues requiring a systematic approach of coordinated actions on the part of all involved to achieve meaningful resolutions. 2.

Homelessness Persons threaten with Homeless and Homeless Needs • The City of Deerfield Beach will continue to work with Broward County’s Continuum of Care Homeless Program to prevent a return to homelessness for a family or individuals that most often unable to acquire and maintain regular, safe, secure and adequate housing. The Continuum of Care Program is a comprehensive management concept that requires a combination of needed services to be brought together in a coordinated manner to help move to self-sufficiency.

The City adopts and supports Broward County homeless priorities by its participation on the Homeless Initiative Partnership (HIP) Advisory Board. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 14 • • • • • • The Board of County Commissioners, on December 7, 1993, approved the Broward County Initiative Report as prepared by the Broward County Homeless Task Force, which recommended the establishment of an advisory board to act as the agent for the Board of County Commissioners in the development and implementation of homeless assistance programs. The City will provide no specific services to the homeless, as outlined in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. However, the City’s police department (Broward Sherriff’s Office) will continue the policy of assisting homeless individuals and families found on the City streets by transporting them to emergency shelter and food locations. HIP provides support to the Homeless Providers and Stakeholders Council and is responsible for carrying out the Continuum of Care Board’s responsibilities designated as the Local Coalition by the State of Florida. This is done through: Researching and incorporating appropriate best practices models to improve service delivery; Expanding supportive housing capacity for the mentally ill, those in recovery, and others with disabilities; Developing and implementing strategies to better deal with institutional discharge and access to mainstream resources; Expanding and enhancing mentoring opportunities for homeless persons; and Researching methods to expand the stock of affordable housing in Broward County. The County’s Continuum of Care strategic plan is updated by the HIP Board and Administration annually and revisited through this HUD Homeless Continuum of Care Application Revisions are incorporated into the Consolidated Plan and distributed to all entitlement communities within Broward County. The Homeless Initiative Partnership Administration is part of the Broward County Human Services Department Divisions, which include: Community Development, Office of Housing Finance, Substance Abuse and Health Care Services, Elderly and Veteran Services, Family Success Administration, Children’s Services Administration and Program Development, Research and Evaluation. Special Need Population The Consolidated Plan must address non-homeless population with special needs for supportive housing. These population groups include Elderly, frail elderly, persons with mental illness, developmentally-disable persons, persons with alcohol/drug additions and person with AIDs and related diseases as well as children coming out of foster care homes. First Call for Help is a 24 hour comprehensive helpline service that will significantly benefit lower-income Deerfield Beach residents via a three-digit phone number 2-1-1 or 954-537-0211 that accesses the Helpline. Trained Helpline counselors assess the needs of callers and offer confidential information and referrals to health and human services free of charge in any language.

With an estimated 3.3 million persons age 65 and older, Florida ranks number one for the percentage of citizens who are seniors. Although the national percentage of the 65 and older population is increasing, it remains only 12.9 percent, while comparatively, Florida’s 65 and older population is up to 17.6% and growing. The growth of the older population has not occurred uniformly throughout the state. About half of the population growth among seniors comes from amenity-seeking retirees who move to Florida. In the past, the traditional destination counties have been in Southeast Florida. However, an increasing number of retirees have been moving into counties in Northeast, Northwest and Southwest Florida. The counties with the largest number of seniors are located in South and Central Florida. The top ten counties by size of elderly population are Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Lee, Sarasota, Orange, Brevard and Volusia. These ten counties account for 55% of the elderly population in the state. It was noted on the 2013 Quick facts from the US Census Bureau that persons 65 years and older represent 21.5% or 16,779 elderly for Deerfield Beach, Florida. Although information to determine the number of elderly and frail elderly who are in need of supportive housing was not available, the City must continue to look to make recommendations concerning the coordination efforts of initiatives to provide a continuum of care for the elderly and frail elderly. These services are paramount to the continued success of individuals and families of Deerfield Beach elderly population. The City of Deerfield Beach has partnered with the Northeast Focal Point Center to help the elderly maintain maximum independence in their homes and communities and to promote a continuum of care for the vulnerable elderly. As the number of older people increases with the aging of the baby boom population, the need for a wide spectrum of services is expected to place pressure on the aging services network Northeast Focal Point Senior Center located at 227 NW Second Street is a key part of that network and offers a large number of invaluable programs.

Individual and families have begun to enroll in health insurance plans offered under the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act or Affordable Care Act (ACA) on October 1, 2013 through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Health Insurance Marketplace is a virtual site where residents were able to compare health plans and be offered affordable health insurance potions. Middle and low-income families received tax credits that cover a significant portion of the cost of coverage. Boy and Girl of Broward County The Boys & Girls Clubs of America was founded in 1860 in Connecticut to give local boys a positive alternative to the streets. Over the years the Club turned into a national movement reaching a membership of over four million boys and girls, making it one of the largest youth serving agencies in the United States. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County joined the national organization in 1965 and have grown along with the movement. We now have 13 facilities with a membership of over 13,000 youth, making us one of the largest Boys & Girls Club organizations in the nation.

Residential structures built before 1978, prior to the reduction of the lead in paint, are at-risk for potential lead-based paint hazards, and in particular, young children are at the greatest risk. The City of Deerfield Beach supports efforts to educate the public about the dangers of lead-based paint and to develop better methods of lead paint identification and control. In cooperation with the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services, the City will take the following actions to ensure that this serious health issue is monitored and abated where necessary and appropriate: Screen for lead-based paint in all housing rehabilitation programs, and where lead-based paint exists, include abatement in housing rehabilitation activities.

LOW / MODERATE INCOME CONCENTRATION This information is provided in the Appendix in the Tables from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council – Appendix E. - 2014 FFIEC Census Report – Summary Census Income Information Appendix G. – 2014 FFIEC Census Report – Summary Census Demographic Information The four severe housing problems are: 1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities, 3. More than 1.5 persons per room, 4.Cost Burden over 50% Discussion Generally, housing needs tend to subside as income rises. Households at 0%-30% of AMI have an 81% occurrence of severe housing need, as compared to households at 80%-100% of AMI that have only a 19% occurrence of severe housing need. While there is an instance of racial/ethnic disproportion within the 0%-30% AMI grouping, the data suggests that the driving force behind severe housing need within the City of Deerfield Beach is household earning power. Issues of racial/ethnic disproportion can be addressed by affirmative marketing of existing programs to the identified demographics. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 21 NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b) (2) Are there any Income categories in which racial or ethnic group have disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? There are income categories in which a racial/ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole. Housing Problems – The Black African American and Asian grouping have a disproportionate percentage of the Housing Problems in the 0% -50% income groups. The Hispanic grouping has a disproportionate percentage of Housing Problems in the 0% - 50% income group. The Black/African American grouping has a disproportionate percentage of Housing Problems in the 51% -80% income group. Severe Housing Problems – The Black/African American grouping has a disproportionate percentage of Severe Housing Problems in the 0% - 50% income group. Cost Burden –When the total number of households who are Cost Burdened and Severely Cost Burdened are combined the Black/African American grouping has a disproportionate percentage of the population represented.

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 22 Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting List for accessible units: The Deerfield Beach Housing Authority has a 1,369 person waiting list for Housing Choice Vouchers, 2 year waiting list for public housing and a 200 person waiting list for senior public housing. It is automatic to assume the senior public housing applicants need some form of accessibility assistance. Regularly, ovens in the units are lowered and walkin/wheel-in showers are installed. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The greatest need is accessible units and large family units. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The Deerfield Beach Housing Authority services a larger percentage of seniors than housing providers in the general market. Large families tend to be serviced by DBHA more than housing providers in the area without overcrowding being an obstacle. Discussion There is a need for affordable housing to serve families of very low, low and moderate income without overcrowding being an obstacle. Affordable housing continues to be a need for seniors in the area.

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 24 NA- 40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c) Introduction: The City used the Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report as a data source for the information in this section. The 2014 Point-In –Time Survey numbers are used for the optional Nature and Extent of Homelessness Table. The City of Deerfield Beach homeless population represents an estimated 3% of the total Broward County emergency homeless numbers and 3% of the total Broward County transitional homeless numbers. The City has approximately 2% unsheltered homeless. The Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report identifies 2,810 homeless count for Fort Lauderdale/Broward County C of C – 2013. An additional 783 were counted as “at-risk” of homelessness, which is generally defined as an individual or family seeking permanent housing but who stayed the previous night at an institution; a hotel paid by self; a jail, prison or detention center; a family or friend’s house; or were facing imminent eviction; or in foster care. However, the study shows a trend from 2003 to 2013 that shows since 2003 the homeless population has decreased and the current composition of the homeless population is decreasing. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 25 Nature and Extent of Homelessness: Race: Sheltered: White 39% Black or African American 59% Data Source Comments: Unsheltered 49% 43% This data is taken from the 2013 Point-in-Time Data. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. The Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report estimates that the top reason for homelessness is “Employment/Financial” followed by “Foreclosure”. Also, the report estimates that 36.66% of the current homeless population has no financial resources. Therefore, staff estimates the number and type families in need of housing assistance will match those figures in the Cost Burden Analysis of “No or Negative Income” over the next five years. The American Community Survey 1-Year estimates for 2013 estimates that there are 5,326 veterans within the City of Deerfield Beach. There is 8% of the veteran population with a disability under age 65 years. Approximately 40% of the homeless population in the United States has a disability. Broward County’s numbers exceed that with an average of 56%. This fact, coupled with the low probability of the homeless having health insurance, decrease the odds of the disabled group’s ability to migrate out of the homeless system. According to the 2009 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress the group with the greatest risk of homelessness is poor veterans. In general, veterans have a 1 in 10 chance of becoming homeless. Staff used 1 in 10 estimates to determine the projected housing assistance need for families of veterans over the next five years. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. The Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report compares the total population of Broward County racial breakdown to the Point-In-Time Survey. Approximately 49% of the homeless in Broward County self-identify as Black/African American while only 24% of the total Broward County population self-identifies as Black/African American. The gender composition of the homeless population is 61% male, 38% female and 1% other. The report states that the general composition of a homeless person in Broward County is: a Black male between the ages of 25-54, presenting with either a substance abuse or mental health issue. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 26 Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. The total number of sheltered and unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness in Broward County decreased by 12% while the number of unsheltered persons decreased by 35%, based on HUD’s biennial point –in-time count and survey completed in January 2011-12.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: There is an estimated 16,779 persons of 65 years of age or older in the City of Deerfield Beach (21.5% of the population). Many elders continue to work into older ages and remain in the workforce. The City of Deerfield Beach elders often live alone. Persons of 65 years of age or older are half of the 1-person owner occupied households in the City and are 40% of the 1-person rental households. There are an estimated 9,444 persons at 75 years of age or older in the City of Deerfield Beach. Although it would not be true for all, many people at 75 years of age or older need one or more types of daily living assistance (bathing, walking, or performing light housework) in order to age in place. For the purposes of this plan, persons with disabilities include three categories; mental, physical, and developmental. It is estimated that 56% of the homeless population of the Broward County have a disability as opposed to the 40% in the nation. The American Community Survey (2009-2013) estimates there are 426 disabled veterans (8% of the total veteran population – 5,326). The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that 1 in 4 American adults experience a mental health condition or disorder during a given year, and 1 in 17 lives with a serious mental illness. A national study the agency did in 2008 showed Florida had 660,443 (3% of the total 2008 population) adults with mental illness, one of the highest populations in the nation (extrapolates to 2,341 City of Deerfield Beach residents). The American Community Survey Estimate for 2012 estimates physical disabilities as a percentage of the population as follows: Hearing difficulty 3.0% Vision difficulty - 3.2% Ambulatory difficulty - 4.4% Self-care difficulty - 4.4% Independent living difficulty - 4.6%. It is not precisely known how many people have intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, most dependable sources tend to agree on 1.5% to 2.5% of the total general population of the United States. According to a 2010 study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), developmental delays are common and were reported in approximately 1 in 6 children in the United States (about 16%) in 2006-2008. It is important to note that not all of these identified children will be considered to have an intellectual or developmental disability as they age into adulthood. Functional adaptive skills emerge throughout the developmental years and the prevalence of disability in adulthood is less than in children. Staff has extrapolated these data points to estimate a total of 1,951 the City of Deerfield Beach residents with developmental disabilities. The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) is a nationally representative public health surveillance system that monitors drug related emergency department visits to hospitals. The responsibility for DAWN rests with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ). According to DAWN data, there were 32,893 visits to the emergency Department in the Miami-Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Visits included abuses of Alcohol, Cocaine, Heroin, Cannabinoids, Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, MDMA (Ecstasy), and other Psychotherapeutic Agents. The age demographic with highest occurrences of emergency department visits are between the ages of 35 and 54. According to Florida's County and Jurisdictional Reported Domestic Violence Offenses (2013), The City of Deerfield Beach (Broward Sherriff’s Office) made 0 arrest for murder, 1 forcible rapes,2 forcible fondling, 17 aggravated assaults, 0 aggravated stalking, 72 simple assaults, 2 threats/intimidation, and 0 stalking occurrences.

It was built without the latest technology amenities; therefore, not useful for community events and training as was originally planned for in this community. How were these needs determined? Residents and staff identified this need during the two public hearings held in conjunction with the citizen participation plan for this Five Year Consolidated Plan (2015-2019). Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements: Ingress and egress to Westside Park was identified as needing two ways in and two ways out, it currently only has one. Also, several streets and sidewalks were identified as needing repaired or replaced. The drainage in the same areas needs improvement. The census tracts identified in this plan and the annexed areas to Deerfield Beach from Broward County are the identified areas for these improvements How were these needs determined? Residents and staff identified these needs during the two public hearings held in conjunction with the citizen participation plan for this Five Year Consolidated Plan (2015-2019). In addition, the City’s engineering and public works division identifies these needs. Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services: Affordable Senior Transportation is needed to continue services to seniors with low incomes. Coordination with the School Board of Broward County and education service providers is needed to assist the Deerfield Beach students with the STEM programs and with technology and computer classes. Income Retention and Financial Planning Counseling is needed to educate those new homeowners and housing rehabilitation recipients with managing their households. How were these needs determined? Residents and staff identified these needs during the two public hearings held in conjunction with the citizen participation plan for this Five Year Consolidated Plan (2015-2019).

Cost burden has historically been a problem for the residents, during a sharp decline in housing values from 2007-2011 ($504,600 - $298,000), the median monthly owner cost for the City of Deerfield Beach residents remained above 35%. Over 62% of the occupied housing stock was built prior to 1980. At least 20% of the owner occupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities (we know from the Housing Needs Assessment that 8,480 owner-occupied units lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, and are overcrowded and 7,405 units are cost burdened). At least 13.6% of the renter-occupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities (we know from the Housing Needs Assessment that 5,750 renter-occupied units lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities and are overcrowded and 5,370 units are cost burdened). Staff estimates that 26,348 units in the City of Deerfield Beach have the presence of lead and 45,290 are low to moderate income households. The Deerfield Beach Housing Authority administers both a public housing and Section 8 housing voucher program. The Housing Authority owns and manages 3 public housing projects which contain 252 affordable rental units. It also administers 450 Housing Choice vouchers and has 1,369 person waiting list for vouchers and a 200 person senior waiting list for Public Housing sites. The Deerfield Housing Authority has routinely scored as a high performing Housing Authority, most recently scoring 96 out of 100 on the most recent evaluation. The major employment sectors within the City of Deerfield are: Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations, Education and Healthcare Services and Wholesale & Retail Trade. Unlike the major business sectors within the city, the education and healthcare sector has slightly more jobs than workers. The city primarily addresses the needs of the Special Needs Community through the Northeast Focal Point Services Programs that is knowledgeable of the regional services offered for the Homeless and Non-Homeless and Special Needs Community. The staff at Focal Point provides transportation to seniors and makes referrals to agencies on the region for particular needs. The City funds agencies/other units of the city that provide employment training for persons who are not homeless but have other special needs as an expansion of economic opportunity.

Describe the need for specific types of housing: Attracted by the ease of renting and convenient locations, young middle and upper income families are often renting in lieu of purchasing. This dynamic increases the value of rental properties and further exacerbates the Cost Burden problem for the low or moderate income renter. Discussion: No further discussion needed. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 33 MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing – 91.210 (a) Introduction: According to data provided by the 2007-2013 American Community Survey the median Home Value is $108,600. The following report shows that the City of Deerfield Beach low and moderate income residents are likely to live cost burden situations. It is important to note that during a sharp decline in housing values from 2007– 2011($504,600- $298,000), the median monthly owner cost of the City of Deerfield Beach residents remained above 35%. However, at the current home rent rate is plausible to build rental properties capable of sustaining themselves with the rents garnered from eligible families.

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 34 MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210 (a) Introduction: Over 9,520 occupied housing stock was built prior to 1971 and 26,348 prior to 1980. A little less than half of the owneroccupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. More than half of the renter-occupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. Efforts to address the housing conditions through rehabilitation have been successful for owner occupied units. The City of Deerfield Beach Housing rehabilitation program has been one of the most popular programs that the city has undertaken. However, the rental rehabilitation program has not been as successful. Landlords have been hesitant to adhere to the funding requirements. Definitions: Standard Condition- Meets HUD Housing Quality Standards and the City of Deerfield Beach code of Ordinances. Substandard but suitable for Rehabilitation – A home that does not meet HUD Quality Standards or City of Deerfield Beach Code or Ordinances is in poor condition and is both structurally and financially feasible to rehabilitate.

The major employment sectors within the City of Deerfield are: Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations, Education and Healthcare Services and Wholesale & Retail Trade. Unlike the major business sectors within the city, the education and healthcare sector has slightly more jobs than workers. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: The workforce in the City of Deerfield Beach will need training in the sectors of Healthcare and Education. The businesses in those sectors seek employees from outside Deerfield Beach due to the demand and the lack of capacity with residents in the City of Deerfield Beach. In addition, as students graduate from High School they need to be directed to the growth industries and future trend industries for skill development and education. The Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce is working with the local Schools to give direction and coordinate necessary training programs. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce is focusing in the Nautical Industry as an additional growth industry for Deerfield Beach. The educational and workforce development agencies have been consulted and are a part of the initiative to ensure trained workers are in place. The Healthcare (Broward Health and Univ. of Miami Sylvester Clinic) and Educational (Florida Atlantic Univ.) industries will remain a focus as well Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 38 How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Career Source (Workforce Development Unit in Broward County) continues to work with the existing employers to train the local workforce for the needs of the local industries. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, Nova Southeastern University, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, and the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce work together with industries such as Jim Moran Auto, FAU, Broward Health Outreach, and Boys and Girls Club programs to ensure workforce training initiatives stay current. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes, currently, the City of Deerfield Beach is working with the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce to develop an Economic Development Strategy for the City. If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. The ideals and goals of the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce are attached as Appendix Q. and the City will be working with the Chamber to assist in these goals. The City is working with HUD and the SBA to develop a strategy for mix-use development along the Dixie Corridor from Hillsboro Boulevard to SW 15th Street. Also, the City will work with Habitat for Humanity, BAND and other housing organizations to coordinate infill housing development throughout the city. Discussion No additional discussion is necessary. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 39 MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? ( include a definition of "concentration") Housing problems generally subside with income, so it is reasonable to assume that low-income areas have a greater number of households with housing problems. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") There are areas where racial or ethnic minorities are concentrated. For the purposes of this plan an “Area of Minority Concentration” is defined as 30% or greater of the overall population of a particular Census Tract. The Census Tracts of Minority Concentration are; 102.00, 103.04, 103.05, 103.06, 103.07, 104.03, 104.05, 107.01 and 107.02 The Census Tracts with the highest percentage Black/African Americans are 107.02, 103.07 and 103.04. The Census Tracts with the highest percentage of Hispanics are 104.05 and 107.02. The American Indian/Alaskan Native and Asian populations are evenly spread throughout the City. The Census Tract with the highest population count of Asians is 106.12. The Census Tract with the highest population count of American Indian/Alaskan Native is 107.02. For the purposes of this plan low-income concentration is 51% or greater of a particular Block Group. The areas of low-income concentration are all of those cited above. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? The areas of Minority Concentration generally are also low-income Areas. However, housing tenure varies equivalent to the general population. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The City of Deerfield Beach has community centers throughout the city including areas of minority concentration. These centers provide meeting spaces, recreational opportunities and may have structured after-school programs. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? City operated community centers are located in low-income areas and areas of minority federal funding. Also, these areas have (few) single family lots that are comparatively inexpensive and can be used to provide affordable homeownership opportunities. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) DEERFIELD BEACH 40 Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview The staff used the 200-2013 CHAS data supported by 2013 American Community Survey 1-Year estimate data where necessary to determine the needs going forward for the Strategic Plan. The purpose of the plan is to set priorities for funding activities for the next five years or until amended. The major point of concern used in the determination of priorities is the housing cost burden challenge facing low and moderate income residents. Staff estimates that 40% of the city of Deerfield Beach households cost burdened (paying more than 35% of household income towards housing cost). Low and moderate income households have a much greater chance of living in a cost burdened condition, 50% of families whose household income is between 0-80% HAMFI annually are cost burdened as opposed to 30% of families whose annual household income is 80% or higher.. Cost burdened homeowners are more likely to struggle with housing repair. The Community Housing Assessment estimates that 14,230 units within the City of Deerfield Beach lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. In addition, 25,724 of the owner occupied housing units in the city were built from 1950-1979. The relative age of the housing stock housing deterioration due to aging becomes a large expense for cost burdened low and moderate income households. Cost Burdened renters are less likely to be able to save towards homeownership. More than half of renterhouseholds, 5,520, live in a cost burdened situation. To address housing repair and the reduction of cost burdened families, the Strategy Plan includes Housing Rehabilitation, Acquisition, Homeowner Assistance and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance as high priorities. However, it is important to note that Cost Burden has historically been a problem for the residents. During a sharp decline in housing values from 2007-2011 ($504,600 - $298,000), the median monthly owner cost for City of Deerfield Beach residents remained $1,447. This means that household income must be addressed. Earning power of Deerfield Beach is complicit in most housing problems and generally adversely affects family socio-economic growth. According to the Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-in-time Count Report the top reason for homelessness is “Employment/Financial” followed by “Foreclosure”. To address household earning power, Job Training, Economic Development and Education are high priorities in the Strategic Plan.

Depending on the nature of the activity and the implementing agency, the programs and activities are designed to address the needs of residents on a citywide basis and the special needs of residents in targeted areas. Generally, those activities providing a direct benefit to a limited clientele are provided on a citywide basis. This includes housing activities such as housing rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer assistance. Those activities that provide special services that benefit residents of targeted area, including those areas of low-income and moderate-income concentration, are offered on a limited basis. Similarly, 100% of the city of Deerfield Beach CDBG allocation either directly benefits LMI persons of benefits predominately LMI areas.

In each of the special needs categories affordable and supportive housing is one of the identified needs. A majority, 25,724, of the City of Deerfield units were built between 1950 and 1979. Many of the units show signs of deterioration due to aging. To respond the DBHA has operated Rental Rehabilitation Programs in the past. There was very little interest from landlords in the program. Conversely, DBHA has been very successful when funding the construction of new affordable rentals which are in great demand from the residents. A little less than half, 8,390, of the owner occupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. Also, 25,724 of the City of Deerfield Beach units were built between 1950 and 1979. Finally, the City of Deerfield Beach has operated a Housing Rehabilitation program in the past and wants to increase its capability to provide this assistance to homeowners of Deerfield Beach. The waiting list to participate in the City of Hollywood Housing Rehabilitation program is 100 persons. The City participated in the purchase of foreclosed properties within the City of Deerfield Beach. Using Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds (NSP-1 and NSP-3), the City has partnered with the Broward Alliance for Neighborhood Development (BAND) to purchase, rehabilitate and resale foreclosed properties to NSP eligible purchasers. The First-time Homebuyers Program has been administered with both SHIP and CDBG funds in the past. Due to the demand in the City, the program will expand to include the use of HOME funds.
