infrastructure, and a decline in population and in the number of housing units and
businesses. Immediate actions are needed to prevent continued deterioration and to
reverse and repair those conditions.”

Mohammed Hamdan and Rebhi Hamdan, is requesting approval of a Rezoning from an
RS (Residential Single-Family Dwelling) zoning district to an NSC (Neighborhood
Shopping Center) zoning district for property located at 7820-7900 Tram Road.
According to the Comprehensive Plan the property is located within a “Low Density Rural
”. Such areas are “Areas where development at urban densities is either undesirable,
inappropriate, or the provision of urban services and facilities are determined to be
economically unjustifiable. Such areas should be restricted to low development densities
and limited as to type of use based on the degree of environmental impact resulting from
that use. Generally, these areas are intended for very low density uses, such as large
tract residential uses, recreational camps, small farmsteads and limited agricultural uses.
Commercial, light industrial and resource extraction operations should be limited to be
very low development densities provided their environmental impacts are minimal or can
be made minimal.”
The proposed zoning district allows for uses that could benefit the growing area, such as
veterinarian services, general merchandise stores, food stores, apparel, furniture, eating
places, etc. Additional uses include business offices, like real estate, accounting firms,
insurance office. This could allow for neighborhood stores and localized shopping and
offices for residents and businesses located north of Highway 105.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on August 19, 2024, the Planning Commission
recommended 5:0 to approve the request for a Rezoning from an RS (Residential Single-
Family Dwelling) zoning district to an NSC (Neighborhood Shopping Center) zoning
district for property located at 7820- 7900 Tram Road.
Approval of the ordinance.

Jamie Johnson is requesting approval of a Rezoning from a PUD (Planned Unit
Development) zoning district to a GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family
Dwelling) or a more restrictive zoning district, for the property located at 3510 South
Martin Luther King Parkway. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for commercial

According to the Comprehensive Plan the property is located within a “Conservation
Revitalization Areas”. Such areas are “Built up areas where a significant portion of the
area is used, dilapidated and derelict structures, a deteriorating or poor public
infrastructure, and a decline in population and in the number of housing units and
businesses. Immediate actions are needed to prevent continued deterioration and to
reverse and repair those conditions.”
Minutes – September 3, 2024
The proposed rezoning appears to be in accordance with the comprehensive plan as it
would allow for the expansion and growth of businesses within the Conservation
Revitalization Area. Additionally, the property fronts an arterial road, which typically
fosters commercial and high density uses.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on August 19, 2024, the Planning Commission
recommended 5:0 to approve the request for a Rezoning from a PUD (Planned Unit

15.Council to consider a request for a Rezoning Study of Isla Street and the surrounding
area bordered by Oakland Street, Magnolia Avenue, Maple Street and IH 10 Eastbound
feeder road.
In March of 2024, planning staff received concerns of commercial uses encroaching into a
residential neighborhood near the Isla Street area. Research revealed that this area has
been zoned as LI (Light Industrial) since 1981. Development in this area has been
stagnant and very little industrial uses have taken advantage of the existing zoning
district. To preserve the existing residential land uses and address a lack of development,
staff is proposing a rezoning of the area between Oakland Street heading east to
Magnolia Avenue and from Maple Street extending south to Interstate 10 Eastbound
feeder road to encourage appropriate infill development to this area.
Existing uses are predominantly residential with some light commercial uses, churches
and one truck lot. Staff is recommending a zone change from LI (Light Industrial) to RCR
(Residential Conservation Revitalization), GC-MD (General Commercial – Multiple Family
Dwelling), (General Commercial–Multiple Family Dwelling-2) and NC
(Neighborhood Commercial) zoning districts. Over the last 15 years, ten (10) structures
were demolished, and four (4) residential homes were constructed.
Minutes – September 3, 2024
The entirety of Oakland Street including 1405 Isla, 1420 Concord and from 1890
Magnolia south to where Magnolia intersects IH 10 East Feeder Road, to be rezoned
from LI (Light Industrial) to GC-MD (General Commercial- Multiple Family Dwelling)
zoning district. This will foster the existing commercial zoning heading south along
Magnolia and will extend the commercial zoning district from Martin Luther King Parkway
south to Concord Road.
The southern side of Maple Street, beginning at 1075 Maple Street through to 1355
Maple Street, including the 2000 Blocks of Linson Street, Forrest Street, and Cable
Avenue to end at Isla Street be rezoned to RCR (Residential Conservation Revitalization)
zoning district. This will allow for both residential developments, and some commercial
development with an approved Specific Use Permit.
The lots known as 2036 Linson and 1260 Isla, are recommended to be rezoned to GC-
MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling-2) zoning district as this plot of
land is an established truck lot. Staff recognizes the existence of the use and its proximity
to neighboring residences. The GC-MD-2 (General Commercial – Multiple Family
Dwelling-2) zoning district will allow the truck lot to be conforming and ensure necessary
protection to neighboring residences should expansion occur.
The southern side of Isla, starting at 1065 Isla Street to 1175 Isla Street, through to St
Charles, and 200’ south from where Isla Street intersects Cable Avenue is proposed to be
rezoned from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district to
allow for smaller neighborhood type uses, such as a corner store, beauty salon, etc.
The remaining portions, along Isla, Linson, Forrest, St Charles and Cable, are proposed
to be rezoned from LI (Light Industrial) to RCR (Residential Conservation Revitalization)
zoning district allowing for residential development and some commercial development
with an approved Specific Use Permit.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on August 19, 2024, the Planning Commission
recommended 5:0 to approve the request for a Rezoning Study of Isla Street and the
surrounding area bordered by Oakland Street, Magnolia Avenue, Maple Street and IH 10

REGULAR AGENDA
16.Council to consider a resolution adopting the Reinvestment Zone Tax Abatement Policy
for the City of Beaumont.
The City of Beaumont utilizes a variety of economic development tools to encourage
development of a certain type, scale or location within the city and within its exterritorial
jurisdiction. Each project is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. One such tool is a
Reinvestment Zone Tax Abatement Policy as allowed under Chapter 312 of the Texas
Tax Code. In order to offer such abatements under Chapter 312, the City must
periodically re-adopt its abatement policy. The Reinvestment Zone Tax Abatement Policy
remains unchanged from the last adoption in 2022. A public hearing is required by the
State Legislature for policy re-adoption.
Staff have added provisions to encourage local employment and procurement, quarterly
reporting and assessment of an application or transfer fee. The proposed policy is
attached to this item.
Approve the resolution.

WORK SESSION
Council to discuss the Proposed Vacant Building Registry Ordinance
17.Council to consider an ordinance to adopt Article 24.09 Vacant Building Registry into the
City of Beaumont’s Code of Ordinances.
The Planning and Community Development Department proposes an ordinance to add
necessary regulation to vacant structures within the Central Business District of
Beaumont. Vacant structures are often related to public health and safety issues, which
often require increased city resources to enforce, regulate, and mitigate to ensure the
overall well-being of the public, such as, blight mitigation, response to disasters, calls for
service, etc. Additionally, they can impede redevelopment, harbor criminal activity,
promote trespassing, detract from quality of life and so on. The proposed ordinance
contains elements requiring a floor plan for first responders to reference during a
catastrophic event or response to calls for service, and designation of a property manager
for any owner who does not reside within the city limits of Beaumont.
To breathe new life into the downtown area, staff researched the possibility of an
ordinance that could encourage property owners to make much-needed repairs to their
buildings. In doing so, the goal of the registry is to encourage the establishment of new
businesses and create vibrancy in the downtown area by encouraging owners to take
responsibility for their vacant properties. The intent is that the prospective business
owners will find suitable locations in which to establish or expand their business and feel
confident to invest in downtown Beaumont and improve public safety as well as safety for
our first responders.
Approval of the ordinance.

addresed a wide range of unmet needs.
Public Facilities and Improvements - The HOW Center and Wise and Rooted used CDBG funds to improve the physical environment for their
clients. The HOW Center provides transitional housing for men recovering from addition. Wise and Rooted is a residental treatment center for
children and youth with mental and/or behavioral issues.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
The City of Beaumont and various public and private entities receive federal, state and local
funding resources to address community development needs in Beaumont. These
organizations often leverage federal funds with state and local resources to administer and
deliver efficient and cost effective programs.
The City uses CDBG to partner with Habitat for Humanity and Legacy Community Development
to provide home repairs for low/moderate income households. These funds are leveraged with
funds from these organizations and from other sources, to enhance the rehabilitation of these
homes beyond the scope of the CDBG funding.
The City will continue to use CDBG funds to address housing priorities and other needs of
low/moderate income households. These funds will be utilized and leveraged with other
private, state, and local funds with regards to public service and public facility and
improvement activities. Leveraging these funds with other sources of public and private
resources has allowed for more persons to be benefitted, than would have been without these
leveraging opportunities.
The City also received HOME funds. The City uses HOME to produce affordable units for
purchase to low/moderate income persons. This is done in partnership with a local CHDO. This
year, two affordable housing units were developed. The City will continue to work partners to
develop additional units of affordable housing during this current program year (2024).

The Home Rehabiltation activity was done in partnership with two local non-profit organizations, Legacy
Community Development Corporation and Habitat for Humanity. This activity supported homeowners
in maintaining safe, decent housing without having to move or otherwise be displaced. With theses
partnerships, the City assisted 26 low/moderate income households with critical home repairs.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The City is excited about the progress made. It is anticipated that this level of performance will continue,
assuming that Beaumont maintains the same level of funding as this past year. We do not expect any
negative future impacts to these activities. These outcomes challenge us to continue exceeding our
annual goals.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Beaumont does not receive ESG funding. We have multiple nono-profit partners that assess the needs
of our unhoused population. Some Other Place/Henry's Place assesses the individual needs of homeless
persons in Beaumont. They operate a large day shelter for homeless persons. In doing so, they provide
case management, hot meals, toiletries, clothes and food. Most importantly, they provide a stable
address that homeless persons can use to receive mail and use on various applications and documents.
Family Services is a women and children’s shelter that provides additional supportive services to women
and children fleeing domestic or dating violence.
Spindletop Center partners with Some Other Place in case management for mental health services for
the homeless.
Salvation Army provides meals and shelter to the unhoused with capacity for 26 men and 24 women.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The Women and Children's Shelter, operated by Family Services of South East Texas offers emergency
shelter and transitional housing for those who are victims of, or have been threatened with domestic
abuse or sex trafficking. They also provide services to help such victims achieve safety and
independence. Using CDBG funding this past year, they assisted 1,115 low/moderate income persons.
The HOW Center provides transitional shelter for men who are recovering from alcohol/drug
addiction. They also provide programs and services to help them to maintain their recover and to
achieve independent living. They received CDBG funds during 2023 and assisted 70 low/moderate
income men.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
CAPER11

being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City currently has no funded programs that directly assist individuals or families at risk of becoming
homeless due to being discharged from publically funded institutions and systems of care and, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing health, social services employment,
education or youth needs.
A past recipient of HOME funds, Spindletop Housing Development Corporation, provides affordable
rental housing for persons who may have been discharged from mental health, addiction or
rehabilitation facilities. Along with other housing, they currently operate two HOME assisted apartment
style housing complexes totaling 16 units. Their residents also have available to them supportive
services to help them maintain healthy, independent living situations.
The City actively encourages applications from all agencies that can assist these populations in the
future.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Family Services of South East Texas and the HOW Center both assist homeless persons and those
threatened with homelessness to make the transition to permanent housing and independent
living. Family Services provides shelter and other supportive services to survivors of domestic abuse or
sex trafficking, and their children. The HOW Center assists men to achieve sobriety, independence and
permanent housing as they recover from drug and/or alcohol addiction.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City and the Beaumont Housing Authority both share a joint commitment to provide safe, decent,
affordable housing to low/moderate income households. The City uses to HUD funds to support the
efforts of the BHA whenever it is feasible. While CDBG and/or HOME funds were not directly allocated
to support them, several non-profit agencies were funded that provided services and programs that
benefit BHA residents. These agencies include the Julie Rogers Gift of Life, Legacy Community
Development Corporation, the South East Texas Family Resource Center, Jonathan Williams Center for
the Performing Arts, Communities in Schools of South East Texas, and Once Upon a Dream Learning
Center.
The Down Payment Assistance Program can assist public housing residents who are seeking to become
homeowners. Residents of public housing can qualify for up to $14,999.99 in down payment
assistance. Additionally, a special provision allows persons with Section 8 vouchers to use them to pay
for a home mortgage.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The City and the Beaumont Housing Authority both share a joint commitment to provide safe, decent,
affordable housing to low/moderate income households. The City uses HUD funds to support the
efforts of the Beaumont Housing Authority whenever there is an opportunity. Several years ago, CDBG
funds were used to provide major infrastructure improvements that were in close proximity to BHA
owned complexes. More recently, CDBG funds are allocated to several non-profit agencies that provide
services and programs in which BHA residents directly benefit from. The Down Payment Assistance
Program can assist public housing residents seeking to become homeowners. Residents of public
housing can qualify for up to $14,999 in down payment assistance. Additionally, a special provision
allows persons with Section 8 vouchers to use them to pay for a mortgage.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Beaumont Housing Authority is not a troubled PHA.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
In order to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may act as barriers to affordable
housing, the City continues to review ordinances and codes that have the potential to act as barriers to
affordable housing. The City specifically reviews it's Zoning Ordinance and Building Codes at least
annually.
On April 4, 2023, the City of Beaumont adopted the 2021 International Building, Residential, Fire,
Mechanical, Energy, Property Maintenance, Fuel Gas, Existing Building, Swimming Pool and Spa Code,
2021 Uniform Plumbing Code, 2020 National Electrical Code and the 2020 ICC 600 Standard for
Residential Construction in High Wind Regions, with local exceptions. The adoption of these codes is
positive and will not have a negative impact on the ability to create affordable housing in Beaumont. No
fee increase occurred as a result of this code adoption.
No changes have been made to the Zoning Ordinance, that affect the production of affordable
housing. The present ordinance does not include any components that act as barriers to affordable
housing. An ample amount of the City is zoned for housing, both high density (residential-multi-family),
and low density (residential-single family). Other components of the ordinance, such as minimum set
backs have remained consistent and do not have a negative impact on housing affordability.
The City continues to maintain vigorous enforcement of it's property standards for occupied
structures. The Building Codes Division uses the international Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). The
IPMC is a maintenance document intended to establish minimum maintenance standards for basic
equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety. The responsibility of code compliance
is with owners, operators and occupants. The IPMC provides for the regulation and safe use of existing
structures in the interest of the social and economic welfare of the community. It includes a minimum
level of safety and sanitation for both the general public and the occupants of the subject structure.
Poor property maintenance most often occurs in low/moderate income neighborhoods. The increased
focus on property maintenance enhances neighborhood safety and overall appearance. This results in
consistent or increased property values and increased return on investments.
The City issued a Resolution in support of two competitive Housing Tax Credit application for the
development of low income senior housing.
Affordable housing inventory will increase if the projects are awarded.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Our most significant obstacle to meeting the needs of the underserved is lack of financial resources. The
demand for services far exceeds the resources available. The City used CDBG and HOME funds to
financially support several programs that address underserved needs. We have continued to work with
our non-profit partners to identify additional funding sources and to leverage our efforts with these
entities.
During 2023 the City sought to expand the variety of subrecipients funded, in order to provide services
to a greater variety of underserved needs. Examples of these include the RISE Center, Texas Health
Foundation, Spindletop Center and Once Upon a Dream. These subrecipients assisted those with
physical disabilities, maternal health issues, mental health, and teen parents, in that order. Together
they provided services to 137 persons with underserved needs, in our community.
Indirectly, we have continued to provide "Letters of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan" for the
Beaumot Housing Authority, in support of their efforts to meet underserved needs. The City also
provided technical assistance to agencies making requests that involve securing and administering other
grants that may assist their agencies. Beaumont will continue to pursue any rational course of action
that is feasible to address underserved needs.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
None of our rehabilitation activities necessitated the need to address lead-based paint hazards.HQS
inspections are completed on all homes that are being considered for purchase with our Down Payment
Assistance program.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's July 2023 estimate for Beaumont, 20.4% of all persons here are in
poverty. This is much higher than the national average of 12.5%. According to City Data, Beaumont's
poverty level is also 29.9% greater than the povery levels of 14.0% across the entire state.
The factors contributing to the poverty level are beyond the City's control. Residents at or below the
poverty level may lack of education, access to healthcare, job skills and other resources in addition to
inheriting generational overty. The City is committed to addressing issues related to poverty and to
provide opportunities for prosperity for all of it's citizens, as much as it can.
Using CDBG and HOME funds, the City has partnered with non-profit agencies to offer programs and
services that are intended to reduce the number of poverty-level famlies. They include the following:
The Minor Rehabilitation Program repaired 26 homes that were owned and occupied by low/moderate
income households.
CAPER15
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Legacy Community Development Corporation provided financial literacy/Homebuyer Counseling classes
to 33 households.
Once Upon a Dream Learning Center provided day care services for children of 72 teenaged parents.
Family Services of South East Texas provided shelter and services for domestic abuse victims and their
children. Total persons served was 1,115.
The HOW Center housed and provided educational and job training for 700 men, recovering from drug
and/or alcohol abuse.
These activities directly benefitted low/moderate income households and those living in poverty. They
helped to lessen the financial burden that they would otherwise incur if not for these programs and
services.
The Family Self Sufficiency Program (FSS) helps residents of public housing and Section 8 achieve
economic independence. The FSS program forms a unique partnership with social service agencies,
churches, citizens and the business community to provide child care, transportation, computer training
and other services necessary to help families become self-sufficient. Through this program, families
are able to participate in an escrow savings program, in which a portion of their rent is placed into
escrow. They can access those funds when the graduate from the program. BHA currently has 52
participants in the program, with an average escrow balance of $6,427. BHA has offered the FSS
program for over 30 years, and was recently awarded a 2024 FSS Grant in the amount of $152,051.
The Resident Opportunities for Self Sufficiency (ROSS) Program was launched in 2007, and promotes self
sufficiency by providing job training and educational opportunities, linking residents to jobs, financial
literacy education, access to health services, providing supportive services, and programs for
youth. During the most recent three year grant period, the program provided services to over 1,000
individuals. BHA was recently awarded a new three year ROSS Grant, in the amount of $206,506.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The CDBG/Housing Division has operated the City of Beaumont's entitlement programs since the
inception of both CDBG and HOME. We have a well developed institutional structure in place, for
implementing programs and activities that stabilize the community and assist low/moderate income
persons. We will continue to maintain partnerships with agencies and entities who provide housing
,community development programs and services that benefit low/moderate income persons and
households.
General administration, program implementation and monitoring of the CDBG/HOME programs are the
CAPER16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
responsibility of this division. City Staff provided expertise, technical assistance and documentation of
need to other City departments, and the Beaumont Housing Authority. Staff also administered and
operated the programs and activities in coordination with other City departments including Finance,
Building Codes, Purchasing and City Clerk.
The CDBG/Housing Division is continuously seeking ways to improve it's service delivery to sub-grantees
and other customers. As we look to improve, we continue to educate ourselves, both in terms of
professional development and technical skills. In 2023, the Division implemented online grant
management software, reducing the paperwork burden on our non-profit agencies. We have also
transitioned our orientations and public participation to virtual/hybrid platforms that increase inclusivity
and access to residents and service providers.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City actively tries to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies.
Private sector involvement in providing housing for low/moderate income persons occurs in several
different ways:
Private sector realtors, mortgage companies, banks and attorneys are among the many parties that
participate to assist with providing home ownership opportunities to low/moderate income
families. Social service agencies and private housing agencies are also involved in this process. They are
responsible for providing home ownership education to these households.
The Rehabilitation Program is administered by two local non-profit, Habitat for Humanity and Legacy
Community Development Corporation. They both use their network of both in house staff, local
contractors, material supplies and other to facilitate affordable housing options. The City actively tries
to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service provide housing repairs
to low/moderate income owner households.
The City is an active particpant in and assists in the development of the South East Texas Homeless
Coalition, consisting of local agencies collaborating and strategizing to meet the needs of the homeless
and low/income population of our community. The City plays a role in the Mayor's Coalition for the
Homeless. City staff also actively participates with the Adult Protective Services Board of Jefferson
County, whose staff is attentive to the housing repair needs of elderly and/or disabled persons that can
be addressed by the City's Housing Repair Program.
These actions have helped to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies. Furthermore, it has provided private agencies a way to realize the importance of
programs that enhance the lives of low/moderate income persons. Hopefully, it has given them
CAPER17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
opportunities to work closer with those who provide the services and programs that assist
low/moderate income persons.
We also facilitate the Fair Housing Coalition of SETX. Collectively, the group works to promote fair
housing among public and private housing and social services agencies.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
The City is committed to providing an equal opportunity for decent, affordable housing, in areas of
economic opportunity, for all citizens of Beaumont. Race, gender, disability, marital nor family status
will have no bearing on this. The primary impediment to fair housing is affordability. This is particularly
true in areas that have high economic opportunity value. To address this impediment, the City offers
down payment assistance to low/moderate income households, seeking to purchase their first home. It
reduces the cost of home acquisition for these families. It also allows the acquisition of a significant,
valuable, appreciable asset.
City staff continues to evaluate local housing needs to determine whether existing programs could be
modified to provide additional housing opportunities. With limited resources, only a small percentage
of the overall needs can be addressed. To improve program awareness of both the Downpayment
Assistance Program and the Minor Rehabilitation Program, the City markets them at local community
events and on the City's official website.
To assist homeowners to maintain their homes and live in safe, sanitary and decent dwellings, the City
partners with Legacy CDC and Habitat for Humanity to offer a Home Owner Rehabilitation
Program. This program privides home repairs to low/moderate income households. Priority is given to
senior citizens and disabled persons.
The City takes any opportunity that presents itself, to educate and remind our citizens about the Fair
Housing Act. We are an active and financial participant in the South East Texas Fair Housing
Coalition. The Coalition is centered around providing awareness of this act to local citizens. This is done
through participation in local community events where both technical advice as well as printed materials
are provided to the public. Staff also speaks at various events to make citizens aware of their rights
under the Fair Housing Act. Additionally, a City staff member has been designated as the Fair Housing
Officer. This position receives alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act and refers them directly to HUD
- Region VI Fair Housing Office.

Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance

The City of Beaumont follows the monitoring actions as outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The staff of
the CDBG/Housing Division monitors programs and projects to verify compliance with federal statutory
and regulatory requirements. Each program year during grant orientation for funded subrecipients,
they are provided with reference materials for program administration. The Housing/CDBG Division
emphasizes it's role as a readily available resource of technical and informational support for any issue
that may arise in the administration and expenditure of grant funds provided to the subrecipients.
Staff conducts reviews regularly, particularly when invoices are submitted for reimbursement. Data and
financial reports are reviewed and evaluated and subrecipients are contacted to provide answers for any
questions arising from the data presented. Sub-recipents receiving CDBG funds are monitored and staff
is in contact with them. Additionally, staff often makes personal visits with subrecipients directly at
their offices or the sites where the activity is actually taking place.

posted on the website and are also in hard copy in our public libraries, community centers and City

phone. Participation is encouraged. We also leverage community partnerships to raise awareness for
opportunities to comment and review all plans and reports.

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives
and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its
experiences.
One of the City's objectives in the Consolidated Plan is the production of additional units of affordable
housing. We are currently experiencing dramatically increased prices for new home construction. It is
very difficult to construct new units that are affordable for low/moderate income households. While the
City strives to produce additional units of affordable housing we acknowledge that this will be difficult to
achieve in any significant number, anytime in the near future. Through the Downpayment Assistance
Program, a monetary incentive is provided to encourage home ownership and to make the cost more
affordable to low/moderate income households.
The Beaumont Housing Authority, in partnership with a private developer, constructed and sold six new
houses, this past program year. This brings the total number of homes in this subdivision to 32. Four of
the homes were sold to buyers makeing 80% AMI, or below. This subdivision was started approximately
eight years ago. When completed, the subdivision should contain a total of 87 single family homes.
The City and the Beaumont Housing Authority will continue to seek out developers who can secure
financing to construct housing that is affordable for low/moderate income households.
Working within our capabilities and resources, the City will support other agencies that are better suited
to meet this objective. Habitat for Humanity has as it's core mission, the construction of affordable
housing for low/moderate income households. In the past, we have supported our local Habitat for
Humanity affiliate by providing funds for site preparation for affordable home construction. We also
provide downpayment assistance to those who purchase homes constructed through the Habitat for
Humanity construction program.

Although, none of the City's HOME funded projects are rental units or were projects that contained five
or more unites as referenced in 24 CFR 92.351, thus requiring the City to employ specific affirmative
marketing measures as outlined by regulation, the City incorporated affirmative marketing actions to
ensure that persons from all racial, ethnic and gender groups present in the City were afforded equal
opportunity in housing activities.
The City currently markets all of it's housing programs to citizens via the City of Beaumont website,
www.beaumonttexas.gov. Community Development staff has developed an online newsletter available
to all that details actions, projects and programs supported with HUD funds. City staff presents
information regarding it's Downpayment Assistance activity by presenting to various groups and
organiztions. Participating CHDOs have affirmative marketing plans for units they have
developed. Finally, a local CHDO, Legacy Community Development, Inc., sponsors a Homebuyer
Education Program. This is used as another vehicle to affirmatively market the availability of HOME
units.
