management services that Maslow provides to students and families enrolled in the Ashland School
District. Maslow offers intensive support for kids and their families. Maslow is extremely active in
outreach in Ashland and surrounding communities. Maslow is asking for $25,000 to continue to offer
case management and support in the Ashland School District.
OHRA (Cass Sinclair) Spoke to the services offered at OHRA. Sinclair is happy to report that 145
people have been housed since 2021. Sinclair is asking for funding for two separate activities; a
commercial kitchen addition (which will most likely be a self-contained cargo container kitchen)
and a separate funding application to support ongoing Navigation services to homeless and
households at risk of homelessness. The container kitchen can be moved in the future which is a
huge perk to the container design.
B. CDBG Award Evaluation Discussion and Award Recommendation
(4:45-5:30 p.m.).
Reid gave a brief breakdown of the funding process. The City receives a formula allocation from
HUD. A total of $179,575 has been allocated to the City of Ashland. 20% ($35,915) is reserved for
administration of the CDBG program. HUD only allows the City to allocate a maximum of 15%
($26,936) of the entire allocation for public service activities. There are no allocation limits to the
amount of funding which can be utilized for Capital improvement projects. The commercial kitchen
OHRA is requesting is a Capital improvement project.
Rhode made a motion to allocate $25,000 to Maslow, the full Capital amount for OHRAs commercial
kitchen and the rest of the money to OHRAs Navigators. No second.
Fields made a motion to allocate $141,235 to OHRA’s capital funding request and to split the $26,936
in available public service funding between the two public service applications. Awarding $13,468 to
OHRA Navigation and $13,468 to Maslow for wrap around services for homeless youth. No second.
Kali made a motion to allocate $141,235 to OHRA’s capital project and award $26,936 to Maslow.
Rhode pointed out that $26,936 is more than Maslow initially asked for.
Kali withdrew her initial motion and made a new motion that $143,171 be awarded to OHRA Capitol
and $25,000 to Maslow. No second.
Bass made a motion to award Maslow $15,000, OHRA navigation services $11,936 and the OHRA
commercial kitchen $141,235.
Fields seconded Bass’s motion.
Escuin restates the motion, “Bass makes a motion to award $15,000 to Maslow Project, $11,936 to
OHRA navigation services, and the remaining capital funding of $141,235 for the OHRA commercial
kitchen project”.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Mission Statement:
Plan.
Housing
The City has a responsibility to ensure that proper amounts of land are set aside to accommodate the
various housing needs in the City, and that its land development ordinances are broad enough to allow
for variation in housing type and density.
Economy
The City seeks to provide opportunities for a variety of economic activities in the City, while continuing to
reaffirm the economic goals of Ashland citizens. Economic development in Ashland should serve the
purpose of maintaining and improving the local quality of life.
Social and Human Services
To ensure that all people in Ashland live in a safe, strong, and caring community, the City seeks to
enhance the quality of life and promote self-reliance, growth and development of people. To these ends,
the City will strive to provide resources and services to meet basic human needs.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to
another location.It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
The City of Ashland is an Entitlement Community for Community Development Block Grant Funds. The
city anticipates an annual allocation of $179,575 in Community Development Block Grant funds for
Program Year 2023 (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024) by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
This document, the CDBG Action Plan for Program Year 2023, describes the project(s) that the City will
undertake and the manner in which the project(s) are consistent with the priorities of the Five-Year
Consolidated Plan. Within this document is a table summarizing the projects to be funded by CDBG
dollars in Program Year 2023 (page 16).

The City Council has identified that a total of $168,266 in grant funds in the 2023 grant year is to be
awarded to three projects: $141,235 to Options for Helping Residents of Ashland (OHRA) for to assist in
the development of a commercial kitchen to serve the emergency shelter, $11,936 to OHRA to provide
navigation services that serve homeless and at-risk populations, and $15,000 to Maslow Project for
outreach and case management for homeless youth enrolled in the Ashland School District.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The City of Ashland's Five-Year Consolidated Plan for 2020-
community. These goals demonstrate that the highest priority need is the provision of affordable
housing. Issues of homelessness and the provision of social services to low and extremely low income
households were also identified as high priority needs and thus the City maintains a 15% set aside for
such activities. Administration of the program utilizes 20% of the annual allocation. Outside of the
CDBG Program the City allocates over $100,000 per year of general funds to address social
services. Ashland is a small city with limited resources, and receives a small number of applications; it is
unlikely that each of the identified goals can be addressed in any single program year, due in part to the
small amount of funding, but also due to the limited capacity of service providers within the
community. Furthermore, while Ashland experiences a broad range of needs similar to larger
communities, the resources and services available to assist low- to moderate-income people in the
Rogue Valley is limited and comparable to other rural areas. The City offers innovative incentives to
promote protect and support affordable housing including System Development Charge deferrals for
new units affordable to low-moderate income households thereby reducing development costs for
affordable housing projects. The City also has a bonus density program that promotes the development
of affordable units in market rate developments and a Condominium Conversion ordinance that works
to slow the conversion of rental units to ownership units.
In recent years the City has been able to make headway on the goals that address the needs of homeless
populations due to additional resources made available as a consequence of the Pandemic. Options for
Homeless Residents of Ashland received a Project Turnkey Grant to purchase a hotel to turn into a non-
congregate Emergency Shelter and resource center for homeless populations in 2021. The City provided
funding from both program years 2021 and 2022 as well as some
assist OHRA in completing work to transition the hotel into an emergency shelter and resource
center. With the added resources now available, the city will be on track to meeting many of the
outcomes proposed in the 2020-2024 Consolidated plan.
A detailed breakdown of program outcomes will be provided in the 2022 and 2023 Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Reports.

by the Housing Authority and six of the acres remained with the City. The City then sold off five of the
acres to Parks Department retaining a .92-acre parcel for future development. The City then split off a
14,000 square foot section of that parcel to protect a 75-year-old Cottonwood tree and sold the
remainder of that property to the Housing Authority to develop additional affordable housing. The
Snowberry II development was completed in 2021 and added 60 additional units of affordable housing
to the Community.
Discussion
The City established an Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) in 2008 and over the years has dedicated
a variety of revenue sources to the fund. In 2017, the City Council dedicated $100,000 of revenues
raised from the Marijuana tax to the fund. In January 2018 the City made Affordable Housing Trust
Funds available through a Request for Proposals process. The AHTF RFP and the CDBG RFP were run
concurrently as the AHTF was designed to complement the CDBG program and support those aspects of
affordable housing development projects which could not be supported with CDBG funding. In 2018 the
City offered a total of $366,000 in AHTF, one affordable housing project, a 30-unit affordable housing
development proposed by Columbia Care, was awarded funding, and the project has since been
completed and is providing much needed permanent supportive housing within the Community. In
2020 the City once again offered AHTF. Due to issues related to the pandemic, the City granted
Affordable Housing Trust Funds to several projects; the majority of which addressed the need for non-
congregate shelter for homeless populations and victims of the wildfires. The City again offered AHTF
funding in 2022, that funding was used to support the development of an eight unit homeownership
development as part of a public-private partnership between Habitat for Humanity and a private market
development company.

Introduction
Oregon Housing and Community Services receives federal and state resources to be used to support
services benefitting homeless populations. These funds include: Emergency Housing Account,
Emergency Shelter grants, State Homeless Assistance Program, Shelter plus Care, and Supplemental
Assistance for Facilities to Assist Homeless populations. Additionally, under the Federal Continuum of
Care program administered by HUD, local governments and agencies can apply for federal funding for
programs and services to prevent and combat homelessness. The City of Ashland does not directly
receive any funds to assist homeless people or persons at risk of becoming homeless. However, due to
the pandemic the City has received several additional resources to address issues related to the
pandemic, including issues specific to homeless populations. The City received a grant to assist with the
provision of non-congregate shelter, and OHRA, a non-profit homeless service provider located in
Ashland, received funding to establish a year round emergency shelter. City of Ashland residents can
also still access available services, programs and funds through ACCESS, Inc. the regional Community
Action agency that serves Jackson and Josephine Counties. Similarly, many non-profit agencies that
provide housing or support services for homeless populations are eligible to apply for funds through
Oregon Housing and Community Services or through the Jackson County Continuum of Care.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
For Program Year 2023, the City has awarded capital improvement funds to OHRA, and public service
funding to both OHRA and Maslow Project. Both organizations have staff that does outreach and
programming to target unsheltered individuals and households. Both OHRA and Maslow are very
involved in community planning and coordination, as well as having constant interactions with homeless
populations and other providers of services to homeless populations. Consequently, both organizations
are well positioned to benefit from community-wide and agency specific assessments of the needs of
homeless populations. Both organizations coordinate with other organizations to provide wrap around
services based on the individual needs of the homeless household.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The city continues to support regional service providers with direct funding and staff coordination as
well as through participation in the Jackson County Continuum of Care. Over the years the City has
provided funding to organizations serving a variety of populations: funded organizations provide
services to homeless, at-risk, and special needs populations; as well as minority populations, and victims
of domestic violence. As mentioned previously, community volunteers and local faith based

Page 26
organizations organized and staff emergency shelters in churches and public buildings on a weekly basis
and in times of extreme weather conditions for several years.
For Program Year 2023, the City has awarded capital improvement funds to Options for Helping
Residents of Ashland, to assist them to install a commercial kitchen into their year-round emergency
shelter and resource center. The shelter will have the ability to provide meals to the shelter residents,
as well as serve as a resource in times of extreme need.
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
Populations needing assistance not offered locally have the ability to access a variety of safety net
services through Access, the regional provider of Community Action Programs including overseeing the
Both Maslow and OHRA provide rental assistance
to avoid homelessness, rapid rehousing funds to place households into housing from homelessness or
from shelter and provide case management and navigation services to support the full continuum of
housing from placement into shelter to permanent housing with supports. Lastly, both agencies provide
referrals to other social service providers located inside and outside of the City to address needs and
remove barriers to obtaining and maintaining housing. The city continues to partner with other
governmental jurisdictions, agencies and organizations, in an effort to address homelessness and other
special needs populations. The city continues to be an active member in the Homeless Task Force, a
sub-Care and works to address the needs of the homeless
on a regional scale and make referrals to the appropriate agencies when necessary.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: 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); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
Each year the Jackson County Continuum of Care conducts a one-night homeless survey, through a
coordinated effort of Task Force and Continuum members, emergency shelters, social service agencies,
and organizations that provide support services to homeless and special needs populations. This annual
survey allows jurisdictions and agencies to track the progress in addressing the issues of homelessness in
the region as well as to recognize changing needs of the populations and gaps in services. The city

carried out by the Jackson County Homeless Task Force, of which the City of Ashland is an active
member, does prioritize several strategies to address the needs of the chronically homeless throughout
the region. The six strategies identified by the Ten Year plan provided action steps to end chronic
homelessness. These action steps include; promoting the housing first model, providing coordinated
and consistent case management, increase financial assistance/incomes for those who are the most
vulnerable, provide life skill training, and coordinate discharge planning. Lastly, the Ten-Year plan
prioritizes the development and increase of emergency and transitional shelters, and permanent
supportive housing options open to those with the lowest incomes.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Over the years the City has spent considerable resources identifying and working to remove or mitigate
barriers to the development of affordable housing. As with the housing market, barriers to affordable
housing development are an ever changing target and consequently require ongoing work to identify
and remediate. The City of Ashland struggles with several barriers to addressing the need for affordable
housing; some of which are related to public policies, and some of which are related to market
conditions. The most prevalent issues are:
A lack of affordable rental and ownership housing units.
A small inventory of multifamily housing.
Lack of investment in older housing stock.
Land and housing costs make it difficult for low-income housing developers to compete with market rate
developers.
Limited capacity of local affordable housing developers.
Actions it planned 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
Over the years the city has explored many strategies and taken several steps to reduce the barriers
identified above. Some of these actions include allowing Accessory Residential Units without a land use
process, removing barriers to the placement and inclusion of Manufactured Housing within Single
Family zones, and evaluating further land use incentives to promote the development of affordable
single family and multi-family development. These actions are further detailed in the 20210-2024
Consolidated Plan.
Some of the barriers to affordable housing identified above, also serve as barriers to addressing
impediments to fair housing choice. Primarily the lack of multi-family inventory which tends to
concentrate low-income and/or minority populations in the areas of town which contain the largest
supply of multi-family and rental housing, which also happens to be the census block groups near the
university. Recently the City has completed an update of the Analysis of Impediments to fair housing
choice and has identified issues and actions steps. The City has also continued to work with the Fair
Housing Council of Oregon to provide ongoing fair housing education, outreach, and training to citizens,
elected and appointed officials and other populations as identified. The City recently completed the

process of updating the housing needs analysis document, which is now known as the Housing Capacity
Analysis. The City also recently underwent a lengthy process with several opportunities for public and
.
The City is currently engaged in the process of adopting a Housing Production Strategy, which identifies
and prioritizes regulatory changes and other actions to incentivize the development of needed housing
types identified through the Housing Capacity Analysis.
Education and Outreach is a significant role of the Housing and Human Services Advisory Committee and
such activities often have the benefit of not just disseminating information but collecting information as
well. Such a dialogue within the City facilitates an awareness of the barriers to affordable housing and
highlights mechanisms available to address such barriers. In the 2022 and 2023 CDBG program year the
Housing and Human Services Advisory Committee has undertaken several activities which helped to
address some aspects of this goal, including participating in the Housing Production Strategy process
and helping to identify actions to encourage the development of needed housing types. And hosting the
annual Rent Burden Community Forum to highlight issues that are impacting the residents of rental
housing.

AP-85 Other Actions 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The City has no actions planned directed specifically toward meeting underserved needs that are not
identified elsewhere in this document.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City continues to prioritize the provision of affordable housing development, rehabilitation, and
preservation as the highest priority use of CDBG funding. However, the City's allocation of funding is
extremely limited; land prices and development costs far outweigh the amount of funding that the City
has available (including incentives) to direct toward the development or preservation of new or existing
affordable housing, consequently, very few applicants apply to utilize City of Ashland CDBG funds to
further the provision of affordable housing.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
As mentioned elsewhere, the City in in the process of adopting a Housing Production Strategy and is
actively working to prioritize identified actions to encourage the development of needed housing
types. These actions will require further exploration and policy changes, and will be brought forward for
adoption over the next several years
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City of Ashland is acutely aware of the dangers posed by lead based paint poisoning. The five-year
Consolidated Plan identifies actions for assuring that CDBG funded activities would be in compliance
with all state and federal laws regarding Lead Based Paint safe work practices in federally assisted
projects. In an effort to reduce the number of housing units containing Lead Based Paint Hazards and
thereby reduce the number of children affected by lead based paint poisoning, the city provides
information regarding lead based paint hazards in the home, and information regarding lead based paint
safe work practices as requested. The City of
based paint safe work practices. Any City sponsored housing rehabilitation program utilizing program
income has the potential to involve issues of lead based paint. The City has, in the past, and will
continue to ensure that lead testing and remediation is completed on any federally funded project
involving a structure built prior to 1979.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 requires communities to include in their
Consolidated Plan a description of an anti-poverty strategy. This strategy takes into consideration
factors over which the City has control. The City of Ashland has limited resources for addressing the
Annual Action Plan 25
2023
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 31
issues involved in reducing poverty and improving the self-sufficiency of low-income
residents. Affordable housing is one of the factors directly related to poverty that the City of Ashland
does have some ability to influence. In addition, the City supports housing, social service, and economic
development programs targeted at the continuum of care needs of the homeless.
The five-year consolidated plan identifies several goals aimed at reducing the number of people living in
poverty. To this end the City adopted a Living Wage Ordinance in 2001 that stipulated that all
employees, contractors, or recipients of city grants or funds must meet minimum living wage
requirements adjusted annually to the Consumer Price Index. The Living wage ordinance continues to
provide the benefits of a higher wage scale for all people working to provide the City with services, or
working on City funded projects. Similarly, economic
General Fund provide support for non-profit organizations that create living wage employment
opportunities and fund programs that provide job training for low-income, at-risk and special needs
populations as well as supporting humanities and the arts. The City of Ashland completed an Economic
Development study to increase the number of living wage jobs located within the city by promoting the
expansion, retention and relocation of local and national businesses.
The City of Ashland for many years has provided funding to agencies that address the needs of low
income and homeless residents through a Social Service Grant program. The goal of the program was to
improve living conditions and self-sufficiency for residents by meeting such basic needs as food, shelter,
clothing, counseling and basic health care. The goal was carried out by providing funds in excess of
$135,000 every year to various area agencies whose focus meets one or more of these targeted
needs. In 2021, due to a substantial budget shortfall, the City Council opted to fund the program for
only the first year of the biennium. It is not known at this time whether this program will be continued
in the next budget cycle. Tutilities department through the Ashland Low-Income
Energy Assistance Program (ALEAP) provides reduced cost energy bills and bill payment assistance to
qualifying low-income, elderly, and disabled residents in an effort to reduce cost burden. Both of these
An Affordable Housing Committee was formed in 1990 and reconvened in 1994 to search for ways to
provide economical housing in Ashland. In 1995 a formal Housing Commission was formed. In 2013 the
Housing Commission was disbanded and many of its duties were assigned to a new commission, the
Housing and Human services commission, to address both housing and human services needs within
Ashland, in recognition that both housing and services are needed to address issues of poverty. In 2022
the many commissions, including the Housing and Human Services Commission, were changed to
Advisory Committees.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure.
The City has no actions planned toward further developing institutional structure during program year

2023.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City Continues to work toward enhancing coordination with community partners that provide
housing and services. The City has limited resources, consequently the City must rely on coordination of
services to meet the housing and resource needs of the citizenry. City staff continues to be an active
participant in several regional groups that work to coordinate services in the face of shrinking state and
federal support for low-income and special needs populations.
