The Office of the Commissioner for Municipal Affairs (OCMA) gathered information identifying community development needs, in non-entitlement municipalities, through different sources and have conducted a process where the units of local governments were involved in the design of strategies to solve those needs. In order to ensure that the communities needs and expectancies were taken into account, we have continued with the following strategies to create a continuous exchange of information and data. 1

6 Meetings have been held with non-profit organizations to develop strategies that are directed to their active role in the community. Meetings with local government officials in an effort in order to consider local policies and planning procedures. Meetings with members of the private sector have been held in order to acknowledge their needs and tacked into account their projections assuring they are consonant with the government policy. At the individual level, letters have been received and personal interviews has been conducted, at state and local level, in which needs has been reported and addressed. This has helped local governments in sustaining a one to one communication with their citizens. A Faith Based Office continues to provide support to the municipalities and Faith Based- Organizations in the implementation, development and training of their personnel in order to help them compete on an equal footing with other organizations with federal funding. Citizens and agencies could comment through the Web Page as well as by planconsolidado@estudios-tecnicos.com. Additionally, people s contact information was registered while viewing the webpage in order to keep them informed of activities and opportunities of public involvement. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Citizen participation continually nourishes the planning and development process of the State CDBG program. On February 15, 2013, the Office of the Commissioner of Municipal Affairs published an invitation to the public hearing in a major newspaper (Primera Hora). The objective of the hearing was to allow citizens and municipalities to share their opinions about current housing and community development needs. A description of all programs was provided and each Agency presented the initial approach with which it planned to address the identified needs and implement activities for 2013 Action Plan. Sign Language services were available, as well as facilities for persons with other disabilities. Agencies were asked for contact information of nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and other interest groups. A data bank of organizations, municipalities, and citizens was developed and a reminder of the public hearing was sent through to encourage public involvement. Also, follow up telephone calls were made a couple of days prior to the public hearing. In order to broaden public involvement a public hearing was held on March 5, 2013 in the Department of Family to present the status of CDBG plan, policy towards the method of distribution and pending issues regarding timeliness and performance measurements. One hundred twenty nine (129) persons attended the hearings, representation the private and non-profit sectors, public agencies, municipal officials, and the general population. After the hearings, citizens and municipalities could provide additional written comments for a period of 30 days. 2

7 A notice was published on April 15, 2012 in Primera Hora, regarding the availability of the Action Plan 2013 for citizens review. A 30 day period was provided to comment on the Plan. Notice for CDBG Annual Action Plans for PY 2013 amended was published in a major newspaper (Primera Hora) on June 19, 2013 for citizens review. The objective of the amendment was to establish a funding for an Emergency Fund and to modify the cap of the allocation for each municipality in the Competitive Fund. A 30 day period was provided to comment on the Plan. Notice for CDBG Annual Action Plans for PY 2013 amended was published in Primera Hora on November 22, 2013 for citizens review. The objective of the amendment was to change the distribution method to expand eligible activities and distribute in amounts equal to all municipalities non-entitlement in a new fund called Basic Grant II. A 30 day period was provided to comment on the Plan. A Notice regarding changes that substantially amend the 2008 Disaster Recovery Program was published in a major newspaper (Primera Hora) on June 11, 2014 for citizens review. HUD is waiving the traditional requirement for citizen participation under CDBG, as to allow the publication period for no less than seven (7) calendars days of public comment. The Office of the Commissioner of Municipal Affairs (OCMA) determined that one of our highest priorities was to continue promoting more and better citizen participation and that this could only be achieved through an awareness of the program at the community and local government level. The municipalities must have followed their citizen participation plan, as approved by OCMA. The staff at the local government is more aware than ever of the need to promote the citizen participation. Each municipality should celebrate two (2) public hearings to collect the housing and community s needs. Copy of the transcripts for both hearings must submit with the Certification that has fully complied with its citizen participation plan. Each Mayor of the non-entitlement municipalities dedicates at least one day per week to attend persons from their community. This effort is closely coordinated by the mayor with the Citizen Participation Office. This initiative has been highly effective as a communication tool between the mayor and his constituents. 3

8 SUMMARY OF RESOURCES AND PROGRAMMATIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS As a result of the efforts herein mentioned, the priorities set forth by the State in its yearly Action Plan, reflect the needs of our communities. The non-housing needs identified are infrastructure, economic development and public services. Although the outstanding priority identified by the municipalities is the economic development, at the same token the central government understands that it is necessary to provide the adequate infrastructure thus, placing them in a better position to compete. The State continues to promote the design and implementation of an economic development strategy at the local level; expanding the commercial activity, the revitalization of deteriorated areas, and promoting the creation of new job opportunities. The units of local level will continue to encourage participation of different sectors of the communities, public, private for profit and non-profit organizations. Economic development is a priority of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The priority is to foster the sustainability of the business and industrial sectors, thus assisting in the economic development of the nonentitlement communities. The OCMA has allocated CDBG funds for economic development to promote the startup of new businesses, the retention and expansion of existing businesses and to provide entrepreneurial assistance to micro enterprises and other small enterprises in non-entitlement municipalities. On May 10, 2013, the Action Plan 2009 and 2010 were amended to establish that funds from the Reimbursement of Interest Program PY 2009 and funds from Small Business Loans Program PY 2010 are now eligible for the activity of Recoverable Grants. This Program has an availability of $500,000 in funds allocated in the 2010 AAP that have not been expended by the municipalities and another $500,000 that were part of the Municipal Economic Fund allocated in the 2009 AAP. The activities to be eligible to receive assistance for recoverable grants include Microenterprise Assistance Program and Special Economic Development Program for small businesses. Under the Microenterprise Assistance Program the municipality may only use the funds to award recoverable grants to qualified new or existing commercial enterprise that has five or fewer employees, one or more of whom owns the enterprise. Economic activity must be held in the municipality s jurisdiction. Under the Special Economic Development Program the municipality may only use the funds to award recoverable grants to private for-profit business that have or want to establish their economic activity in the municipality. 4

9 The funds associated to these economic development activities were allocated to non-entitlement municipalities through a competitive process as shown in the following table: Municipality Recoverable Grants Amount Aibonito 100, Barceloneta 100, Cataño 100, Ciales 50, Florida 50, Hatillo 50, Jayuya 50, Orocovis 100, Salinas 50, Vega Alta 50, Arroyo 50, Coamo 50, Guanica 50, Jayuya 50, Lares 50, Maunabo 50, Concerning the assistance to Microenterprises Program, our specialists are still evaluating proposals and clearing up findings. Some municipalities, like Coamo and Ciales, have completed the entire process of evaluation and are already searching for beneficiaries. On the other hand, we have worked arduously with the contractual extensions, between OCMA and the municipalities, to ensure their compliance with the requirements of the program. To support the Economic Development Initiative, a total of $1,071, has been allocated for Commercial Rehabilitation. The source of fund is a 2003 carry-over fund allocated for Public Facilities that has not been expended by the municipalities. The objective of the activity is to provide funding for the rehabilitation or installation of public owned property to create commercial space to be used to foster the development of small business and microenterprises. At the present, eight (8) public facilities for commercial purposes were completed and three (3) commercial facilities are underway. These funds were allocated as follow: BALANCE Barceloneta $100, $0.00 Barranquitas $100, $0.00 Ciales $100, $100, Coamo $100, $0.00 Comerio $100, $7.00 Guanica $100, $0.00 Juncos $99, $99, Las Piedras $100, $ Maunabo $100, $100, Orocovis $100, $ Yabucoa $72, $3,

10 For this program, we focused our efforts in keeping up to date with the contractual agreements between OCMA and the municipalities. We assisted also all the municipalities that completed their facilities and requested the closing of their programs. The remaining municipalities dedicated this period of time to finish their developments and report their expenses to OCMA. Our analysts have focused on evaluating the financial requests of municipalities and also provided technical guidance. Meanwhile, the municipality of Aibonito, requested to transfer all of its PF funds to their Microenterprises program, to serve that purpose we offered legal counseling and elaborated a new contract to fit the municipality s needs. As part of the strategy to provide decent housing and suitable living environment for persons of low and moderate income, OCMA continues assist the Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Rehabilitation Materials Grant. A total of 759 housing units were rehabilitated that benefit 1,980 low and moderate households. The Homeownership Initiative Program has been established to promote the acquisition of new homes among low-to-moderate income families. This activity has been targeted to identify low-income families that have been discouraged from becoming homeowners because they do not have savings for down-payment and closing costs, but could pay an affordable monthly mortgage if given the opportunity to buy their own home. OCAM is opening for competition the amount of $500,000 allocated in the 2010 Action Plan under this activity and the balance of funds from previous years among the 51 non-entitlement municipalities. During the period between July 2013 and June 2014, twenty three (23) low-to-moderate income families received direct assistance for either down payment or closing costs pursuant to the purchase of their first home. A total of $83, in aid was granted through 23 cases attended. The following table provides information related to closing and/or down payment assistance.

11 Case Municipality CDBG 17 NAGUABO $3, NAGUABO $2, NAGUABO $2, OROCOVIS $5, PATILLAS $2, SALINAS $3, SALINAS $5, Like we mentioned above, the Homeownership Program, continued with the disbursement of its funds. OCMA assisted all the municipalities that finished the expenditure of their monetary assignment and asked for the closing of the program. Nonetheless, Patillas municipality, returned to OCMA almost all of its original allocation, arguing that they did not have enough people interested in acquiring properties on their region. The abovementioned recaptured fund, will be redistributed among the other HOME sub-grantees in Puerto Rico. On the other hand, since April 2014, we have been working very hard to update and preserve the contracts between OCMA and the municipalities. Finally, we dedicated these lasts months to give direct technical assistance to the towns, the lenders and the beneficiaries. With the purpose of assisting in the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes, HUD allocated $19,600,000 to be administered by OCMA for Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 (NSP1). Funds were awarded as on a competitive basis. As of June 30, 2014 the remaining funds were disbursed. The total program income generated to date is $1,870, To provide affordable housing to low and moderate families; 66 foreclosed or abandoned housing units were rehabilitated, and 59 housing units were constructed. OCAM complied with the expenditure deadline of 100% of the allocated funds under NSP1. A total of 31 housing units have been sold. This year of 2014, the municipalities kept working on the marketing and sales process. Some of them are focused on the maintenance of the properties, while searching for beneficiaries. This phase of NSP is already generating a significant amount of program income, however some municipalities have experienced difficulty with the revenue reporting procedure. To solve this setback, we have provided legal and technical assistance to help municipalities comply with the requirements of the program and its national objectives. OCMA provides assistance to the municipalities on a daily basis, and in this process, we have had the necessary support from the Federal Housing Department (HUD) advisors and Cloudburst. Some of the members of Cloudburst visited us this summer to give us specialized technical service. They also inquired about the program status, and OCMA gave detailed and specific information about the NSP I implementation on each of the municipalities. Finally the program manual went through a process of amendment to promote job creation for of low and moderate income citizens. 7

The closing of the program was executed on March 17, 2014, and we successfully met the expenditure goal. Regardless, we are still evaluating the expenditures and support documentation, to complete the final drawdowns. After March s closing, the municipalities have been finishing their projects and focused on the sales phase. Since April 2014, OCMA has been planning to provide a seminar to guide them in this process. During the preparation of the mentioned workshop, we had the assistance of Technical Studies Inc and Cloudburst. We also have been in constant communication with our new HUD field officer, Laura Rivera, and she has been a very useful resource to guide us through the unexpected situations of the program. 10

15 Some of the NSP III municipalities have already sold several units and reported a non-significant amount of Program Income. This program, also went through a process of amendment to promote job creation for persons of low and moderate income. At the moment no units have been sold, and a total of 138, of program income has been generated. In order to achieve affordable housing and to sustainability of suitable living environment, HUD has been allocated $17,982,887 to be administered by OCMA for Disaster Recovery Assistance Program 2008 (DR-2008). These funds were appropriated to attend the disaster during the three day period of September 21-23, 2008, parts of Puerto Rico suffered from one of the most catastrophic flooding events of the season to date. The flooding affected many municipalities island wide. Municipalities that receive funds from this program must comply with the following activities: Housing, Affordable Rental Housing and Infrastructure activities. As of June 30, 2014 a total of $11,602, has been disbursed. During FY , a total of 67 housing units were rehabilitated. Regarding public improvement activities, 8 projects were completed for repavement of gravel roads and construction of retaining wall. These projects impact approximately 51,728 low and moderate persons. Regarding to affordable rental housing activities a meeting was held between OCMA and the State Department of Housing to identify the people that need this assistance in order to allocate funds for this activity. Also, HUD has been allocated $12,000,000 to be administered by OCMA for the Disaster Recovery Enhancement Fund (DREF). The aim of the additional allocation is to further meet the outstanding recovery needs of the State resulting from Tropical Storm Kyle. These funds were distributed through a competitive process, among DR-2008 municipalities for housing acquisition, or new housing construction activities as describe as follow. DREFT ALLOCATION Arroyo $400, Salinas $688, Guanica $800, San Lorenzo $1,377, Guayanilla $800, Santa Isabel $800, Gurabo $400, Utuado $1,057, Juncos $800, Villalba $511, Maunabo $929, Yabucoa $886, Naguabo $800, Yauco $800, Patillas $948, $800, Due to changes in the housing market, OCMA is revising the caps for each activity under DREF. On June 19, 2013 the Action Plan was amended in order to increasing the limit to invest of $90,000 to $125,000 per home unit. This allow municipalities to have a greater flexibility on they manage and develop their projects. As of June 30, 2014 a total of $3,095, has been disbursed. At present seven (7) dwelling were acquired and seven (7) was demolished.

16 drug abuse, education, among others. Efforts will continue coordinating actions in terms of planning and implementing services for the homeless and others persons with special needs. The State has established an Emergency Fund 2013 to alleviate or resolve serious priority threats, to health and/or safety that require immediate action. This category is aimed to provide solution or to alleviate problems of urgent need that were not present at the time of the regular grant application process. The Evaluation Committee for the Emergencies Proposals assigned $400, to four (4) municipalities during this fiscal year. Activities developed range from road reconstruction, and bridge reconstruction, among others. The relationship between OCMA and other State agencies continue growing in order to achieve an integral approach in the planning process. Meetings with official s agencies states are held to discuss planning strategies, coordination and development of procedures to facilitate the activities at a local level. We continue our efforts to improve the coordination between state agencies and local governments to accelerate the endorsement and permits issuance process. The periodic revision of activities with pending permits and/or endorsements continues in an effort to simplify the environmental process. This has proven to be a very effective mechanism to strengthen relationships with state and local governments, and to accelerate the permits and endorsements process. During this fiscal year the 96% of the projects from PY 2013 have the release of funds in order to proceed with the disbursement consistent with the review procedures. Continuous assistance is offered to the municipalities to assure they receive all the necessary input for project development. In fact, we continue to conduct individual meetings with the municipalities staff, to achieve the environmental requirements, for projects approved at the beginning of every program year and follow-up pending from the various regulatory agencies. To aid local governments to develop activities in a timely manner, aggressive efforts have been developed to promote expenditures at a higher rate. In order to increase the timeliness use of CDBG funds for program years 2009 and 2010, OCMA has notified the municipalities by Informative Circular and , respectively, with specific information related the scheduled established to receive the amendments, last day of compliance with the activities included and the expected final date of funds expenditure. After this, OCMA will start a Recapture Funds Plan to complete the expenditure of funds for these program years. AUDITING In accordance with the CDBG Monitoring Plan, the Office of the Commissioner for Fiscal Affairs performed follow-up reviews on all reports and recommendations issued by the Independent Auditors. This follow up was conducted within three months of the receipt of the final report issued date. During the current year, the reviewed of 69 of these reports were completed. In all of the received reports we found well controlled and managed funds, and if there were findings, recommendations were made and corrective action taken. 12

17 MONITORING The monitoring report provides an outline of the performance of the municipalities operative systems. The monitoring activities were used to identify compliance deficiencies, request corrections and reinforce or improve municipality s performance by providing guidance and recommendations. The monitoring for each municipality was determined by an assessment of several risk factors associated with the administration of the assisted activity or service provided with CDBG or any other combination of funds. Specific factors included the following: Verification of the accuracy of municipality s records Confirmation of the accuracy of information presented in the quarterly reports Verification that municipalities use of funds was consistent with the State objective Identification of potential problems or the apparent causes of actual problems Corrective action in the case of a problem During the period of July 1, 2013 throughout June 30, 2014, the following municipalities were monitored: CDBG Monitoring Adjuntas Aguada Aguas Buenas Añasco Arroyo Barranquitas Camuy Cataño Ciales Coamo Corozal Culebra Dorado Florida Guayanilla Gurabo Hormigueros Jayuya Lajas Culebra Juncos Lares Las Marías Las Piedras Loiza Luquillo Maricao Moca Morovis Naranjito Orocovis Peñuelas Quebradillas Rincón Salinas San Lorenzo Utuado Vega Alta Vieques Villalba CDBG-R Monitoring Vieques 13

19 OCAM continues with the cleanup effort of the system to review and closeout long-standing open activities in the system. The cleanup effort included the immediate intervention of CDBG open activities with $0 balance. The State initiated the review of those activities to determine if the disbursements data in was consistent with the State financial management system. After that review was completed we proceeded to enter the performance data and completed the activities in the system. After the completion of the closing of the $0 balance activities we proceeded to review activities with balances in or OCAM s financial system. Balance information was obtained and reconciliation of multiples activities was completed. After the reconciliation the activities were closed in. This task included notification to non-entitlement municipalities of the reprogramming of remaining funds in the system. When the above task was completed we proceeded to evaluate the activities that required remediation plans. To obtain the status of the activities we contacted the municipalities and provided them 30 days to provide information and with up to 180 days to close out the activities. SECTION 108 Section 108 provides and additional source of financing, to meet housing, community development needs and special projects to promote economic self-sufficiency. Funds were used for eligible activities regarding rehabilitations to physical development projects that promote the economic development in accordance to Section 105(a) of the Act. At present three (3) activities are still on going to develop projects in the municipalities of Camuy, Dorado and San Lorenzo. On the summer of 2014, we visited several municipalities to inspect the developments carried out with S108 funds, and check the pace of their implementation. During the month of June 2014, we have been preparing self-certifications so we can distribute them to the municipalities and their beneficiaries, to learn whether the goals and national objectives of the program have been met. A most extensive phase of monitoring is scheduled to start before December 2014, and it will be carried by OCMA s Division of Monitoring. 15

21 SELF EVALUATION To purse the primary statutory objective of the CDBG Program to develop viable communities by providing decent housing and suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities the following accomplishments were met during fiscal year with the funds of the program years 2008 to 2013: As part of the strategy to provide decent affordable housing, OCMA continues assist the Housing Rehabilitation Program and Rehabilitation Materials Grant. A total of 759 housing units were rehabilitated that benefit 1,980 low and moderate income households. In terms of providing affordable housing twenty three (23) low and moderate income families received assistance for down payment and closing cost under the Homeownership Program. A total of $83, has been granted during this fiscal year. In order to increase the funds expenditure, OCMA was held a meeting with the municipalities participants of Homeownership Program to provide technical assistance to improve the development of the activities. Since April 2014, we have been working very hard to update and preserve the contracts between OCMA and the municipalities. Finally, we dedicated these lasts months to give direct technical assistance to the towns, the lenders and the beneficiaries. Also, HUD has been allocated $12,000,000 to be administered by OCMA for the Disaster Recovery Enhancement Fund (DREF). These funds were distributed through a competitive process to 16 municipalities for housing acquisition, or new housing construction activities. Due to changes in the housing market, OCMA was revised the caps for each activity under DREF. On June 19, 2013 the Action Plan was amended in order to increasing the limit to invest of $90,000 to $125,000 per home unit.

These funds were distributed, also trough a competitive process, among NSP1 municipalities for acquisition, rehabilitation, redevelopment, new construction and resale of vacant or foreclosed residential properties in the potential target areas. The closing of the program was executed on March 17, 2014, and we successfully met the expenditure goal. After March s closing, the municipalities have been finishing their projects and focused on the sales phase.

On the other hand, the 2009 and 2010 Action Plans were amendment to reallocate the Small Business Loan Program and the Reimbursement of Interest Program for a new initiative of recoverable grants, instead of the previous activities. The activities to be eligible to receive assistance for recoverable grants include Microenterprise Assistance Program and Special Economic Development Program for Small Businesses in order to incentivize self-employment and to promote new and existing small businesses in the municipality s jurisdiction. Our specialists are still evaluating proposals and clearing up findings. Some municipalities have completed the entire process of evaluation and are already searching for beneficiaries. On the other hand, we have worked arduously with the contractual extensions, between OCMA and the municipalities, to ensure their compliance with the requirements of the program. To aid local governments to develop activities in a timely manner, aggressive efforts have been developed to promote expenditures at a higher rate. In order to increase the timeliness use of CDBG funds for program years 2009 and 2010, OCMA has notified the municipalities by Informative Circular and , respectively, with specific information related the scheduled established to receive the amendments, last day of compliance with the activities included and the expected final date of funds expenditure. After this, OCMA will start a Recapture Funds Plan to complete the expenditure of funds for these program years. The State understands that monitoring the annual activities must be carried out regularly to ensure that statutory and regulatory requirements are met. To achieve this effort the state performed monitoring site visit for the following programs: CDBG to 38 municipalities, CDBG-R to 3 municipalities, DR 2008 to 6 municipalities, and NSP to 11 municipalities. On the other hand, 69 Single Audit Reports were reviewed during this fiscal year.
