The City of Bangor FY 2024 AnnualAction
Plan of the CDBG Five-Year Consolidated
Plan
�I�-�.� �_x���:u��.�ii��� �u�ir�ir��iry
Ir�k:rc.��cack:ic.�r�
In order to receive annual funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),the
City of Bangor is required to prepare a comprehensive strategy, the five-year Consolidated Plan, to
direct the effective use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)funds.The Annual Action Plan is
one of the essential components of the Plan which provides a yearly examination of community needs
and resulting adjustment to these strategies and goalposts. This update is developed with participatory
collaboration with public servants and the residents of Bangor. Once deployed, the Plan is designed to
be used as a guidance document for the overall administration of the CDBG Program.
The Annual Action Plan presents an overview of the goals and projects for the upcoming program year
that will address the needs identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. These goals and projects will
aim to benefit principally low- and moderate-income residents including: homeowners, renters,
homeless persons and families, and persons with non-homeless special needs. Components of the plan
are a description of the process, including the citizen participation process, and specific actions and
partnerships that the City will pursue to meet these goals. This document represents general areas of
need and specific benchmarks that will be affected by using these federal funds during the next year,
July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and is the final year included in the City's Five-Year Plan.
The community needs will always be greater than the funding available to address them. Over the past
10 years, CDBG funding has averaged around $1,090,000/year with fluctuations of CDBG year over year
about 5-15%; funding for the upcoming year did not change substantially, with an increase of .05%.
Significant challenges exist in confronting the housing and community development needs of low-to
moderate- income residents, including lack of capacity of area nonprofits, the pandemic crisis that has
limited the availability of credit to both individuals and developers, and the age and condition of
housing stock and infrastructure available. While the City makes every effort to partner with non-profit
groups, other government agencies, and for-profit developers, the needs continue to outstrip the
funding available to address them. Through program design changes and more focused funding
strategies, it is the City's hope that the impact of the reduced funding can be minimized.

The City of Bangor held consultation meetings with public service agencies, organizations, advocates,
and stakeholders which provided input and feedback on priorities and needs of the City's residents. In
addition, a review of the recommendations in our strategic planning documents as described in this
assessment (Consolidated Plan, Housing Work Group, Comprehensive Plan, and Analysis of Impediments
of Fair Housing) were used to develop the following list of needs and priorities in the areas of housing,
livable neighborhoods, and economic opportunities:
• Increasing affordable decent housing for both renters and homeowners, particularly larger units,
those households with very low incomes, and units outside areas of concentrated low income
and minority populations.
• Increasing employment and business opportunities in the community to address lack of
employment opportunities, particularly for younger workers, low to moderate income
households, and minorities, including job creation,training, and supportive services suchas
childcare and after-school activities.
• Increasing neighborhood quality and safety through mitigating or removing blighting conditions
and providing improved neighborhood infrastructure such as streets, alleys and sidewalks;
improving the accessibility of neighborhoods to assist residents with mobility and other
challenges.
• Providing services to residents, particularly those that provide services for those sufferingfrom
mental health conditions, including substance use services, and access to services for the
homeless, and opportunities for youth engagement.
From these broader areas of need,the City identified the following goalposts for this Year, which were
adopted by the City Council in May 2024:
• Improve the livability of Bangor neighborhoods including accessibility and availability of quality,
affordable housing and neighborhood infrastructure citywide.
• Support programs to retain existing businesses and to attract new businesses, with an emphasis
on increasing employment and business opportunities for younger workers, low to moderate
income households, and minorities.
• Provide support for human needs for the citizens of Bangor emphasizing building life skillsand
supporting positive health and housing outcomes.
Fv�lca�t:ic.�r� c.�f� �'�.st: �'�rf�c.�rr��r�c�
The City of Bangor annually evaluates its past performance to help choose goals and projects for the
upcoming year.
Each year,the City is required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report(CAPER)
to HUD, reporting on the activities that were funded with CDBG dollars,the amount spent, and the
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan 4 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021)

beneficiaries assisted. The City coordinates several housing programs to address the needs of residents
within the City.The Residential Rehabilitation Program assists residents with repairs and improvements
to housing, including energy efficiency, accessibility, and critical repairs. The program provides funding
for owner-occupied residential properties to preserve and improve existing housing, increasing
residential value, and stimulating investment in the City's neighborhoods. The program assists with
correcting safety issues and substandard conditions in their homes which can include emergencies such
as furnaces, roofs, and electrical/plumbing.
In accordance with federal guidelines the City of Bangor will make all reasonable efforts to ensurefair
housing by providing outreach to all potentially eligible households. Affirmative marketing consists of
actions to provide information and otherwise attract eligible households for the housing programs.
Affirmative marketing differs from general marketing activities because it specifically targets potential
tenants and homebuyers who are least likely to apply for the housing, in order to make them aware of
available affordable housing opportunities. The City informs the public, sub-recipient partners, owners
and potential applicants through the City's website, marketing material, and social media. Additionally,
the City of Bangor requires all multi-unit rental projects to certify compliance with Fair Housing
objectives, including a commitment to anti-discrimination, and to promote affordability with proactive
outreach to low-income households.The City's past CAPER reports can be found on the City's website at
www.bangormaine.com.
In meeting underserved needs, the largest barrier remains the limited availability of funding to address
needs. As a result, the City's Community Development Division, which is responsible for evaluating
applications and awarding funding, has put in place an evaluation process that places emphasis and
value on closely addressing the identified local objectives and on compliance and performance in
carrying out funded activities, and utilizes this process to balance the funding awards to a variety of sub-
recipients and individuals.

The City's Annual Action Plan citizen participation process took place in the first four months of 2024. In
future years, this process will be expanded over a larger period intended to extend the length of
engagement with the community overall, producing feedback and analyses that become valuable
additions to each annual plan and improve the incidence of community participation overall.
The City of Bangor conducted several workshops with local service providers, housing advocates,
landlords and tenants, and City departments. In subsequent years,the City plans to deploy surveys as is
typical of other entitlement programs to gather additional public input. In addition, the City has begun
to develop a method to engage the perspective of youth, both to assess the civic engagement of young
people and to identify unmet community needs from their point of view.
Public input through a series of community meetings and workshops were publicly advertised in the
newspaper, on the City's website, on social media, and directly mailed/emailed to area nonprofit groups

that the City either has worked with directly or has contact with through one of the groups of which the
City is a member. Many of these groups serve special populations, such as veterans, homeless,those
with physical or mental disabilities, minorities, and non-English speakers. In future years, meaningful
outreach to these agencies will include targeted surveys. All meetings were advertised as accessible,
with interpretation services available upon request for those with limited English proficiency, as well as
the availability of other accommodations if needed. All agencies were encouraged to attend the virtual
workshops, and in-person public meetings.
The final public workshop included a short five-question survey and a discussion of the 2020-2024 Five
Year Consolidated Plan, summary of accomplishments, and the availability of CDBG funding, where
attendees were asked to identify priorities for funding.
�car�r��ry c.�f� �'cablic Cc.�r�r��r�k:.s
The City of Bangor held public input meetings and conducted a brief survey during a public workshop to
gather citizen input during the planning process for the Annual Plan. A Summary of the comments
received at the public meetings and the survey results can be found in the appendix under the citizen
participation comments.
A Public Workshop will be held on the proposed CDBG allocation estimates on April 30, 2024. These
estimates included the balance of available funding from the prior year carried forward, an optional,
albeit useful practice that was necessary given the effects of the Pandemic on slow project execution.
Public Comments received are included and incorporated into this Plan.Actual allocation amounts are
expected to be released in June 2024. In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan any
allocation within 15%, and adjustment above which does not materially reduce the benefit to low-and
moderate-income residents, does not need to go back to the City Council for approval.
The Annual Action Plan was available for public comment from April 22, 2024 to May 22, 2024. During
this time, the City conducted a Public Workshop to formally present the plan and receive feedback on
the semi-final draft. Following the requisite public comment period, the final draft is proposed at a final
Public Hearing which is anticipated on June 10, 2024 at the regularly-scheduled meeting of the City
Council. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the Annual Action Plan must be approved by City
Council before submission to HUD for review.
�car�r��ry
The City of Bangor has carried out the preparation of this Annual Action Plan according to HUD
requirements, and has gathered valuable public input as well as consultant data that has been used to
help guide the funding decisions for the CDBG.
As noted above, decreased funding from the federal level for the CDBG program has made it unlikely
that all of the needs identified in this plan can be fully addressed. While the City makes every effort to

partner with non-profit groups, other government agencies, and for-profit developers,the needs
continue to outstrip the funding available to address them.Through program design changes and more
focused funding strategies, it is the City's hope that the impact of the reduced funding can be minimized.

The City of Bangor engages in regular consultation with a variety of other entities, both public and
private, during the preparation of the consolidated plan and during each subsequent annual plan. In
addition, throughout each program year, the City remains in regular contact with the CDBG
subrecipients and sub-grantees who actually deliver housing and services.Through this contact,the City
is able to maintain an understanding of changing conditions, such as when new programs and services
are offered,when existing services cease, and what vacancy rates and needs are for housing.

agencies. Examples are:

• Working groups include City Staff from the Bangor Public Health Department and local non-
profits that address various physical and mental health needs of Bangor citizens. These groups
include those that serve the needs of citizens with physical disabilities, accessibility challenges,
mental disabilities, the elderly, survivors of domestic violence and those who suffer from
HIV/AIDS. All members of these groups were invited to participate in the public input process,
and many did contribute, either through public input or by the survey. Monthly meetings of
these groups enable City staff to engage and be aware of changes, challenges and needs faced
by organizations involved with health, mental health, and public service activities.
• Through the CDBG program, the City has funded agencies that meet the health, mental health,
and service needs of residents, and the City is likely to fund these activities again in the future,
pending application for funding and resources permitting. Previously funded agencies include
those providing accessibility, transportation, and mental health services, services to the
homeless and survivors of domestic violence,those with HIV/AIDS, elderly, youth and others. All
of these agencies were invited to participate in the public input process, and many agencies
did contribute, either through public input or by the survey.
• The Bangor Housing Authority (BHA), and City of Bangor Health and Community Services(H&CS)
administer two of the Public Housing programs for the City. Staff from the Community
Development Division meet regularly to discuss current issues and needs. BHA administers
approximately 459 housing vouchers and manages between 600-650 subsidized housing units.
The City of Bangor's H&CS manages a variety of vouchers, including ones that can be used in
units targeting those with physical or mental disabilities, veterans and the elderly.
• The City monitors a portfolio of more than 170 privately owned subsidized units, which were
funded originally through programs such as CDBG and various tax credit programs. Monitoring
enables the City to ensure the assisted units remain affordable and the project remains in
compliance for the duration of the affordability commitment. Importantly, monitoringprovides
valuable information regarding the need for affordable housing and information about vacancy
rates and waiting lists that helps the City plan for affordable housing in the future. Many
affordable housing operators have chosen to participate and partner with the City and other
agencies providing services which assist individuals that have housing challenges, including
those with mental health issues, a program that is expanding to offer technical assistance,
housing navigation, and tenant support.
• As new projects come forward, the City works with developers to ensure that the affordable
housing needs of the community are being addressed by the proposed projects. A Housing
Production Study is planned for the latter half of 2024 which will inform the housing effortsand
direct investments to specific areas of the City. New projects that are developed with federal
funds are checked to ensure that they meet applicable accessibility requirements, as well as to
ensure that applicable lead-based paint regulations are followed.These steps ensure that
the activity is meeting the health and physical access needs of current and future tenants.

The City of Bangor is part of the Continuum of Care for Penobscot County, which is part of Maine's
Balance of State Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care is a strategic plan for providing a broad
range of homeless services. This continuum covers emergency shelters, transitional housing, and
permanent supportive housing. The Maine State Continuum of Care is developed and administered by
and comprised of providers, funders, and government representatives. City staff are members of the
attend monthly meetings throughout the year. These meetings enable City staff to engage with those
groups and be aware of changes, challenges and needs faced by organizations carrying out health,
mental health, and service activities.

The City of Bangor recognizes that state, regional, and locally-focused plans also identify community
development goals, and provide a specific and thus valuable strategic framework for this Plan. The
following are examples of these documents that are reviewed for the Consolidated and Annual Action
Plan, and the recommendations included that are being considered for implementation.

The City of Bangor attempted to offer new modes of engagement with staff and City departments to
gather public input, consisting of several online and in-person workshops, forums, and information
sessions,targeted outreach to specific agencies and local partners, an open house style public reception,
and targeted outreach using social media as well as a fully redesigned online presence designed to
simplify and therefore increase access to and awareness of citizen engagement opportunities.
The staff involved with creating the Plan also developed an Executive Summary document that was
designed to convey the essential components of the plan in a visually appealing way, and was put on
display in the lobby of City Hall and in the Bangor Public Library, as well as online and alongside the draft
of the Action Plan that was offered beginning during the Public Comment Period. In the coming year,
the City will be using additional methods to creatively engage with residents, including the use of new
digital surveys, working with the school department to solicit input from students, and using a new

programs and to increase awareness of citizen engagement opportunities.
The meetings, workshops, and consultations were publicly advertised using the local newspaper, agency
newsletters and list serves, and social media, as well as through staff participation with organically
formed neighborhood groups and associations. Outreach was supplemented with an information
repository on the City's website. Staff attended City Council meetings to announce these opportunities
publicly and encourage the attendance of residents, service providers, and community leaders.

The projects and activities included in the 2024-2025 Action Plan are based on resources that are
reasonably anticipated to be available from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. The actual resources
available to support activities during the implementation of the remainder of the 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City's control. For example, HUD
formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the
amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant
formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements
receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and
private resources may vary significantly depending on the economic conditions For the 2024-2025
year,the City has been informed that it may expect to receive$821,576 in new program funds.

Federal funds often times leverage private, state, or local funds as well as other types of support such as
volunteer labor and donations in-kind. Often times the CDBG funding in and of itself is not sufficient to
complete an entire project so funds from another city budget may be used to supplement the activity.

Resources from the City's allocation of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) Funds are used to
supplement CDBG funding whenever possible. Affordable Housing developments are likely to utilize a
variety of State resources including Housing Bond funds, State Tax Credits, Historic Tax Credits and Land
Bank/Redevelopment funds. Maine State Housing has a number of funding instruments that are used in
conjunction with the City's CDBG fund and provide valuable resources for community, housing and
economic initiatives in Bangor. Maine's Continuum of Care funding funds Bangor's activities to assist in
housing and services to homeless persons. Housing investor loans and fa�ade grants require private
match funding. Homeownership assistance funding requires that the homeowner secure fifty percent of
the down payment from other sources, acceptable through either a foundation, a gift, or the borrower's
own funds. The City's new Rehabilitation program will require the homeowner to participate in the
repairs through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor, whose mission is to
empower homeowners through volunteers and home buyer programs.

The City occasionally becomes in possession of a property acquired through the matured tax lien
process. The City works closely with the Community Development Department to explore options to
benefit LMI individuals or families. There is an initiative for the City to transform vacant and tax
foreclosure properties into decent affordable housing. The City also has developed Affordable Housing
TIF districts and continue to update its City-owned property inventory to identify land that is suitable for
development.
The City has set aside several parcels that are used for the operation of a community garden program. In
2024, the City will examine opportunities to expand gardening and food production options for local
residents using City resources and locations, the City's Parks and Recreation Department and with
outside partnerships.

The priorities identified in this plan are the outcome of an extensive, comprehensive effort to identify
community needs. The plan assesses the available resources available to meet those needs. Staff will
work to leverage public and private funds to address the economic development, affordable housing,
community development, and special needs populations' needs whenever possible. Staff also continue
to strengthen partnerships with other City Departments and public agencies to leverage funding.

For this fifth year of the Consolidated Plan, the City has allocated funding that addresses unmet priority
needs while continuing commitments to successful programs and multi-year initiatives. The CDBG
Rehabilitation program is a long-standing, successful effort that addresses an acute need for housing as
identified in the 2019 Housing Work Group study. Similarly, the economic development programs and
initiatives are indicative of the city's long-standing commitment to support local business growth. Public
service activity programs are successful programs operated by the city and non-profit partner agencies.
Public infrastructure and projects represent a continued commitment to improving public spaces.

describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City allocated funding to address the priorities identified within the most recent Consolidated Plan
process. These priorities remain current and relevant. The most prevalent community discussions
recently have been centered around the opioid crisis, homelessness, and the need for affordable
housing. These issues are multi-faceted and have major obstacles. While the City works tirelessly to
tackle these issues, making headway will require collaboration between local, state, and federal
resources. City management is in discussion with various entities to work towards a comprehensive
solution.The City conducted a general call for applications in 2024 with a Notice of Funding Availability,
to receive proposals for community projects and funding requests. The activities must meet one of the
following CDBG objectives: (1) provide a suitable living environment; (2) provide decent housing; or (3)
provide economic opportunity. The City's investment of CDBG funds is based on whether the activity
falls within a City funding priority, whether the service is an eligible activity, and whether the service or
need meets a national objective. While public infrastructure, parks, open space and public facility type
projects are exclusively within targeted areas, other strategic investments are made for the benefit of
low-moderate income residents throughout the City. In order to meet high priority needs of the
community such as job creation and economic development, it may be necessary to invest outside

low/moderate census tracts.
The availability of funding available to address the major issues mentioned above is an ongoing obstacle.
The amount of funding available through the City's CDBG program obviously will not wholly solve a
particular issues and larger collaboration is needed. With that,the City's Community and Economic
Development Department continues to look for additional partnerships and collaborations that will help
benefit the citizens of Bangor and marginalized populations.

The needs of the community, and the low-to-moderate income individuals in particular, drive the
geographical allocation of investments for our CDBG program. The investments outlined in this plan are
for activities, projects, or programs located throughout the entire jurisdiction. The Housing
Rehabilitation program, for instance, is based on the income of the property owner and is undertaken
without regard to geography.
The City has seventeen Census Blocks that are comprised primarily of low-to-moderate income persons
and the City works to improve those areas of the City. HUD has identified the following Census Block
Groups in Bangor as Low-to-Moderate income (LMI) areas having over 51%of households identified as
LMI. These areas can be eligible for area wide CDBG funding and CDBG funding is prioritized in these
areas and to benefit LMI individuals/families.

The City focuses funding generally in low-to moderate income Census Blocks of the City. The rationale
for this is that the majority of households in these areas are low-to moderate- income households. The
City does provide funding outside of the low-to moderate-income Census Blocks on an income basis. As
stated above, the housing rehabilitation program is administered based on income and not geographic
location.
f�i.scca.s.sic.�r�
Because the primary national objectives of the Consolidated Plan programs are to benefit low-income
and moderate-income residents, Bangor's CDBG funds will target significant assistance to those areas
found to be the most economically and physically distressed in the city. Bangor will greatly increase the
measurable and effective impact of these federal dollars by enhancing the quality of life in its most
distressed neighborhoods. If the City distributed the funds without such consideration, the impact of its
federal resources would be reduced, and the success of its programs would be curtailed.
The public facility projects funded in this plan are located within some of the most economically
challenged neighborhoods in the city. A number of census tracts that are targeted for funding have low-
and moderate-income populations in excess of 70% of the general population. In addition, a number of
public service programs are funded specifically in census tract areas that also have high concentrations
of low- and moderate-income persons. Many of the city's housing and homeless projects are city-wide
because they are targeted to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income households and persons
throughout the city. The public service programs funded also provide services throughout the
geographic parameters of the city.

The City of Bangor reviews information from various studies to assist in guiding programs and
development.These studies assist the City to continue its strategy of balancing housing investments
between revitalizing older areas and developing new affordable housing where it has not been
traditionally available.
Information from both the 2019 Housing Work Group and the Maine Housing Needs Report suggest the
need to improve community perception of affordable housing, increase the supply of affordable housing
with more geographic diversity, larger and accessible units, improved code enforcement and nuisance
abatement, and efforts to address public safety and tenant/landlord stability and education.
The City has also seen a spike in vacant properties which are a blight on neighborhoods and lead to
unsalvageable units, which decreases the already low housing stock.The City recently passed its new

The Housing Authority of the City of Bangor has a public housing waiting list with a total of over 1,000
families, of which approximately 96%are extremely low income, approximately 3%are very low income,
and approximately 1%are low income.
BHA's Housing Choice Voucher Program is part of the Maine Centralized Waiting List. The number of
applicant families in BHA's jurisdiction is approximately 24,000, of which approximately 95% are
extremely low income, approximately 5%are very low income, and approximately less than 1%are low
income.
Bangor Housing Authority (BHA) has approximately 560 units of public housing for very low-income
households and administers an estimated 459 housing choice vouchers in the greater Bangor area and 5
Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH)vouchers for veterans.
The BHA recently completed two projects to produce affordable senior housing, comprised of 35 Units
each. Penquis C.A.P (262 Harlow St in Bangor) is undertaking a project to construct 40 units of senior
housing. Volunteers of America will construct 11 Units of Supported Living Housing in 2024-2025.

The City's CDBG program works collaboratively with the Bangor Housing Authority and provides financial
assistance when it is practical. The Bangor Housing Authority has prepared and provided to HUD as part
of its Capital Fund submission, an annual plan of improvements to public housing units under its control.
As a nonprofit agency, Bangor Housing Authority would also be able to access the City's property
rehabilitation loan program, if needed.
The Bangor Housing Authority administers a HUD Family Self-Sufficiency Program. This program
encourages family self-sufficiency for households receiving, or eligible to receive, federal rental
assistance (Section 8 existing housing) or living in public housing, who voluntarily participate in a five+/-
contract period of financial, educational/training, evaluation and counseling, transportation, child care,
medical assistance and agree to become free of federal subsidy programs at the end of the period.
This program is supported by a committee of public service agency and citizen volunteers. A Staff
member also sits on the Family Self-Sufficiency Program Coordinating Committee sponsored by Bangor
Housing Authority.This committee has created an Action Plan that supports a five-phase program.

The Bangor Housing Authority communicates regularly with residents through meetings, resident
councils, print material distribution,text messages, and through various social media platforms including
their popular Facebook page and website. Bangor Housing also offers the largest Family Self-Sufficiency
(FSS) Program in Maine for tenants of Public Housing as well as Section 8 participants. This is a free and
voluntary program that assists participants in achieving their education and career goals and becoming
economically independent. The FSS program partners with many local service providers to insure the
goals of the participants are met. Bangor Housing partners with the Boys & Girls Club of Bangor (BGCB)
in a new program, Families Forward, designed to help families through a two generational approach to
promote independence and self-sufficiency for all members of the family. They continue to participate
with the Club to give access to after school programming and summer programs to their youth in the
community.The BGCB is on-site which helps to maintain the strong relationship.

Bangor has seen an explosion of unhoused population since the pandemic. Area service providers
anecdotally surmise that the amount of unhoused folks living outside in Bangor is the highest it has ever
been. City management and Community and Economic Development Staff are involved in many
conversations to address this problem.
The City has a healthy General Assistance program, is a member of the State's Continuum of Care, and
continues to work with regional organizations to improve coordination between service providers and
develop and execute strategies to grow and improve services. The Community Development
Department is in regular contact with other City departments to ensure resources are being managed
efficiently.
The CDBG program helped the Bangor Homeless Shelter add the Intake and Diversion Program to help
those experiencing homelessness or in immediate danger of becoming homeless, stay in their home,
relocate to places where they have a natural support system, or find a friend or relative to say with. This
process aims to prevent people from having to enter the homeless response system and makes the
limited community resources available to those in the most critical circumstances.

The City's Homeless Outreach Coordinator is responsible for direct contact with homeless individuals
living within city limits and offers assistance which is tailored to the needs of each individual.Additionally,
the City's Shelter Plus Care grants, which are awarded through HUD via Maine's Continuum of Care, are
the primary means to identifying and addressing homelessness.
In the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic,The City of Bangor developed a new outreach and field service
activity, the Bangor Community Action Team (BCAT). BCAT service workers respond to requests
throughout the City to provide outreach services to homeless people that reside outdoors. The workers
are connected with the Bangor Police Department and the Bangor Public Health and Housing programs to
coordinate the provision of resources and staff support.
Homelessness is a prerequisite for participation in the Shelter Plus Care Program. Individuals and families
are identified through the central Coordinated Entry system, and others who regularly encounter the
homeless. Information is available throughout the City including homeless shelters around the State of

The City begins with prevention efforts designed to help people avoid homelessness by having access to
affordable housing, income maintenance programs, employment assistance, housing counseling, and so
on. For those who become homeless, the system is geared towards providing emergency, transitional,
and permanent housing opportunities as appropriate to ensure that homeless people have,at minimum,
a safe,decent,and warm place to stay.
The City has multiple shelters that offer case management services and support. Day programs are safe
alternatives to people being on the streets,assist in identifying the needs of the people and work to find
the services and housing to get them back on their feet. This evidenced-based practice reflects that
services to prevent homelessness are best identified and treated at the onset of a homeless episode
through rapid re-housing, medical care,and community supports.

Aside from the discussion above, The City has used CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds to undertake activities
that prepare for, prevent, or respond to the COVID-19 pandemic as it directly related to the unhoused
population. For instance, the program enabled the Winter Warming Center to open a month earlier and
stay open longer. Staff will continue to provide support for the unhoused and other special needs. The
Community and Economic Development Department will continue to provide support to the unhoused
and resource providers in any way it can. The Department recognizes that the homelessness epidemic is
prevalent throughout the State and the Nation, and can only be mitigated through collaboration at the
local level.

There are a range of institutional obstacles and public policies that may pose barriers to creating
affordable housing.These may include outdated regulations that restrict where housing (and affordable
housing) can locate, certain financial institutions that are reluctant to back innovative housing projects,
lack of public funding to subsidize construction of affordable units, and code requirements that add
costs to construction.

The City needs to provide an ideal environment for the development of affordable, quality housing
through new construction or rehabilitation of older homes in the urban core. This development should
maintain or increase density levels.The City should assess and revise and development standards to:
1. Remove barriers to development and redevelopment
2. Reflect on current zoning and uses
3. Encourage the reuse and rehabilitation of properties
4. Enable denser development throughout the City(particularly in single-family home zones)
5. Identify where to direct transit-oriented residential development
6. Reduce minimum lotsizes
7. Provide density bonuses in desired areas to allow for higher density development in exchange for
affordable housing commitments
8. Consider demographic trends and types of housing required for growing and changing segments of
the population
9. Ensure the updated Comprehensive Plan considers all types of residential development
10. Engage a broad representation on the Comprehensive Plan Committee including housing advocates
and people that are not currently homeowners
11. Grandfather setbacks, open space requirements, parking, etc., on sites where a home isdemolished.

Zaning Changes
Reducing the minimum lot size in the Urban Residence 1, Urban Residence 2, and Multifamily& Services
zones has affected 48% of the City's total lots. This change allows for more dense development and
gives developers fewer hurdles to overcome when rehabilitating properties — it allows for homes on
grandfathered lots to come back into compliance with existing building codes, and will increase the
density in the urban center.The City has also reduced the parking requirements to lessen the amount of
spaces required for each unit. This will allow developers more room on their lots to include more units,
open space, or other facilities or services. According to the new rule, parking requirements for
residential dwellings (unless otherwise specified) were reduced from 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit to 1
space per dwelling unit. If necessary, the Planning Board may authorize a reduction in the number of
required parking spaces for any project requiring a Land Development Permit if the applicant provides a
parking study or other method of demonstrating a lesser parking demand for the project.
A need has been expressed in the City for this reduction as parking is often raised as a barrier to
affordable housing. Off-street parking minimums can disincentivize development as parking is
expensive to construct and maintain, and it occupies space that could otherwise be used to place
additional units. Reducing minimum parking requirements can also help address the negative impacts
that excess parking has on water quality, urban heat, and sprawl. The 2022 Comprehensive Plan
suggests that the City "revise zoning regulations to remove barriers to development for a variety of
housing types including single-room occupancy housing,tiny homes, and transitional housing."The Plan
also suggests reducing parking minimums generally as a way to reduce excess parking in the City.
Other potential recommendations include enacting an inclusionary zoning ordinance which would
require developments of a certain scale to include a percentage of affordable housing, allowing
accessory dwelling units in certain zones to encourage denser housing, and developing an amnesty
program that would bring unregulated apartments up to code.
Emergency Shelters
The City's Code of Ordinances has been updated to clarify the definition of emergency shelters and to
allow this use in the Government& Institutional Service District (G&ISD)with stipulations around siting
and layout. At present, emergency shelters are defined but are not allowed in any zone in the City.
However, there are existing shelters in the City, with interest from some in expansion. The allowances
provided by these amendments would permit expansion of some shelters, as well as allow for new
shelters in select areas.These amendments also attempt to allay concerns expressed during a previous
amendment proposal regarding siting and security by providing additional stipulations for this use.
The 2022 Comprehensive Plan suggests that the City"evaluate land uses that allow for sheltering and
supporting people experiencing homelessness to help ensure that existing zoning supports a diverse
housing stock".

regulations for this use, and to allow the use in the URD-1, URD-2, M&SD, NSD, USD, DDD, WDD, LDR,
HDR, S&PS, GC&S, and RR&A zones.
However,the operation of short-term rentals and the revenue it can make available to property owners
may help make the City affordable for persons on fixed or limited incomes and may enhance and
diversify the accommodations available to visitors and tourist. Conversely, increasing numbers of short-
term rentals may result in a decrease in the supply of affordable housing in the City and the transient
nature of this use can have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Due to these impacts, the 2022 Comprehensive Plan suggests that the City regulate short-term rentals.
The amendments herein attempt to strike a balance between the desire of property owners to use their
properties for short-term rental use and the desire of the City's residents to preserve the integrity of
their neighborhoods.
Hausing Chaices—Ca-Living
The City' s Code of Ordinances has been updated to define the use of "co -living dormitories" and to
allow this use in the M& SD, NSD, DDD, WDD, HDR, S&PS, and GC&S zones. This use is a flexible form of
housing that falls under the single -room occupancy housing type, where bedrooms are considered
individual living quarters and there are typically shared kitchen facilities. This housing type is
differentiated from boarding homes in that it would be larger in size ( 8 or more rooms) and there would
be no minimum stay length for a portion of the building ( boarding homes require stays of at least 30
days). This creates allowances for more transient workers or people who are transitioning from one
residence to another, as well as more permanent residents. An on-site manager would be required for
this use as well as proximity to transit and either business or short-term rental licensing.
A need has been expressed in the City for this type of living arrangement since it can provide a much
more affordable type of workforce housing, particularly for younger people and the transient workforce.
The 2022 Comprehensive Plan suggests that the City to " revise zoning regulations to remove barriers to
development for a variety of housing types including single -room occupancy housing, tiny homes, and
transitional housing".
Accessary Dwelling Units (ADU'sJ
City's Code of Ordinances has been updated to reduce restrictions on setbacks and height for ADUs and
to clarify the minimum size of the ADU in accordance with the language of the state law, LD 2003.
LD 2003 requires that there not be greater restrictions on setbacks or dimensional controls for ADUs
than there are for principal dwellings. Currently, the City's Code, by not allowing an ADU in front of a
principal dwelling, in essence requires a greater front setback for ADUs. Additionally,the Code currently
limits the height of detached ADUs to 25', which is less than the maximum height of primary structures
in all zones. Therefore, the proposed changes to the Code remove these restrictions in order to comply
with LD 2003. Additionally, LD 2003 states that the minimum structure size for ADUs is 190 square feet.
This requirement is also proposed to be added to the City's Code in order to provide clarity.

Permanent Supparted Hausing
The City's Land Development Code has been updated to add the use of Permanent Supportive Housing
as a conditional use in the LDR, HDR, and M&SD zones. A Council Ordinance adopted on October 24,
2022 defined this use and added it as a conditional use to the G&ISD (Government & Institutional
Service District) zone.
This use is akin to Transitional Housing in that there are staff available for support services to residents,
but it differs in that the residents may reside there permanently. It is not the same as group homes as
defined or other congregate care, as the people reside in efficiency units and thus have more
independence.The use is defined as "a multifamily building or multiple buildings on a lot that contain(s)
permanent, project-based supportive housing which are funded with project-based vouchers and
associated services to residents."
This proposal aligns with the 2022 Comprehensive Plan, which suggests that the City revise zoning
regulations to remove barriers to development for a variety of housing types including single-room
occupancy housing,tiny homes, and transitional housing.The proposed dimensional controls, including
minimum lot size and setbacks, follow the requirements for attached residential developments
(townhouses) and congregate care housing.
discussion
The Community & Economic Development Department has done an extensive amount of work
regarding the affordable housing crisis and will continue to work with partner organizations, business
and civic leaders, and developers to address the barriers to housing. Upcoming review of Manufactured
housing laws and policies, Maximum height restrictions in certain districts, and the challenges of non-
conforming properties are planned in the next year. Additionally, the development of an updated
"barriers to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Choice" as well as a Housing Production Plan will
complement the City's efforts to provide access to affordable housing in all neighborhoods throughout
the City and ensure that all resources and services are available to all residents despite their income
level.

The primary obstacle to addressing underserved needs is that funding levels continue to dwindle and
are simply insufficient to meet those needs. Administrators of the CDBG program are looking into ways
to create or provide financial incentives to build new or rehab housing for LMI individuals and families.
Community Development staff will continue to communicate and facilitate conversations to connect
resources to ensure the needs of the underserved are addressed. In 2024, our Annual Application
process was implemented to bring more attention to community groups and partners, which may
diversify the funding in a manner that is consistent with effective and equitable programming.

The City will continue investing funding to its residential rehabilitation program to ensure that LMI
individuals can stay in their home. The City can provide tax acquired properties to area organizations to
redevelop for LMI housing purposes. The City frequently works with Penquis and The Bangor Housing
Authority to foster low income housing tax credits with housing development partners. The City will be
exploring options to provide direct funding to housing development organizations for the creation and
retention of affordable housing units. As described in the consolidated plan, CDBG funding will be
provided by the City directly to homeowners and developers, as well as to non-profits, for-profits or
CHDOs to acquire and/or rehabilitate properties, correct substandard conditions, make general repairs,
improve energy efficiency, reduce lead paint hazards, and make emergency or accessibility repairs.This
may include: acquisition/rehab/resale, refinance/rehab, demolition/site preparation, new construction,
downpayment/closing cost assistance and housing counseling. Housing units assisted will be single or
multi-unit affordable housing to be sold, rented, or lease/purchased, as allowed by CDBG regulations.
Beneficiaries of housing activities will be low to moderate income households as specified by HUD
regulations. Other funding available includes program income generated by the respective revolving
loan funds. Funding will also be utilized for project delivery costs and administration of housing
programs, as allowed.

The City of Bangor CDBG funded Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program has included a lead-based

this program were built well before 1940, lead-based paint testing is seldom done because inspectors

automatically assume lead-based paint is present.
In any house built prior to 1978 where there is evidence of peeling, chipping or flaking paint, it is
presumed that lead paint exists and is treated in a lead safe manner. This is typically encapsulation
which is an adhesive painted over the lead paint to hold it in place and avoid any further chipping or
flaking. Most common areas and remedies include: windows get replaced; exterior trim is wrapped in
aluminum coil stock; siding is replaced with vinyl siding; porches and miscellaneous trim are prepped,
primed and painted. By presuming the presence of lead paint, testing is not necessary and therefore
reduces the costs to the homeowner in the rehabilitation of their property.
For contractors to be included on our qualified contractor list, they must be certified to the standards of
EPA-AHUD Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting (40 CFR 745). For every pre-1978 project, a
final clearance examination is conducted for the presence of lead. Final payments are not made to
contractors until the tests come back showing the project to be "lead free" as determined by the law.

To bring a family out of poverty, its community must address the barriers it faces. The broader Bangor
community's programs and service delivery have been carefully designed to do just that. While there are
identified limitations in available funding for some of these programs, residents have access to programs
aimed at meeting their affordable housing, educational, childcare, and basic needs. Case managers and
front-line service delivery staff are trained to support poverty-level families and put them on a path of
self-sufficiency by overcoming their identified barriers.

Community Development staff will monitor and participate in regional discussions about issues
impacting LMI residents and special needs populations. The City is actively participating in efforts to
increase affordable housing, increase support for substance use disorders, manage homelessness, and
tackle mental health. The City anticipates allocating CDBG funds to activities that assist in reducing the
number of poverty level families in Bangor. In the past, the City has funded programs that assist poverty
level families.These programs have included:
• economic development activities that create or retain jobs for low to moderate income workers
and/or business owners,
• a transportation program,
• transitional housing and supportive services for low to moderate income persons,
• public service activities that support mentoring, after school, and summer programs for low to
moderate income children
While many of these programs provide services to families who are low to moderate income, the
intention is that, particularly through economic development, affordable homeownership, and child
