The City in its entirety is eligible on a service area basis. Public improvements are located in low-income block groups. Eligibility for residential repairs is determined on an individual household basis. Public services programs are served on a limited clientele basis. Petersburg's population is 77.8% African American and every census tract and the city in its entirety is an area of minority concentration. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds City Service Area 100 Table 8 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Petersburg is a small City of some 32,538 persons and has the lowest household incomes in the area. The entire City is an area of need. The entire City serves as a service area for service programs. The city seeks to support its revitalization strategy through priorities adopted by the City Council. As noted, public improvements are eligible based on block group data. However, only three census tracts, 8110/8111/ and 8112, are middle income. All others are low/moderate income areas. Based on individual household income eligibility, residential rehabilitation can be located anywhere. Discussion Most of Petersburg is eligible on an area basis and on a service area basis.

Petersburg has a system in place for the delivery of emergency shelter for women and children, post emergency shelter for women and children and supportive services for men, woman, and children. The Freedom Support Center for Veterans seeks to identify and serve veterans, and their families, in need of housing and services. The city lacks a Single Room Occupancy facility for men and related program and lacks a permanent transitional housing facility for women and children. 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 Petersburg participates in the Continuum of Care, which conducts the annual one-time count. in addition, many and diverse agencies identify needs of the homeless and those threatened with homelessness. Petersburg expects to continue to serve some hungry and homeless citizens through Downtown Churches, United. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Petersburg has an established Emergency and Transitional Housing program through an Emergency and post shelter program through CARES Inc. 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 Petersburg has a system for delivery of shelter, post shelter, and transitional housing and related services designed to provide emergency shelter to women with children, post emergency shelter to women and children and related program services to address the unique needs of the individuals and family. Service agencies participate in Rapid Rehousing, but also appreciate the need for transitional housing needs. Services designed to prepare the individuals and or family for self-sufficiency are offered by an array of agencies including Social Services, Freedom Support Center for Veterans, HOPE Center, Annual Action Plan 21 2022 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 58 of 64 CARES Inc., Salvation Army, and many others. 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. Petersburg has the lowest household incomes in the region. Accordingly, the need for affordable housing is significant. Petersburg long range revitalization strategy is stabilization and enhancement of the residential environments and Discussion Petersburg receives some $583,253 from the CDBG Program. Administrative costs are budgeted at some $116,650. While the City has funded program operations for the CARES Inc, the City Council priorities rank public service programs 4th, which is last position for CDBG funding. Annual Action Plan 22 2022 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 59 of 64 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Introduction: Petersburg has not identified public policies that inhibit the provision of affordable housing, to the contrary public policies in the City promote investment, development and safety, health and welfare of its citizens and businesses. 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 In the past many localities engaged in strategies to enhance the tax base through such practices as large lot zoning. As examples, rural jurisdictions experienced a migration of lower income families to urban centers in search of work, but the larger lot zoning had the effect of limiting the replacement of affordable housing as the old housing stock was lost. Some localities, experiencing rising costs for infrastructure and schools with housing growth, adopted cash proffers to be paid by the developers to the locality to defray the costs, but increasing housing costs and decreasing affordability. Petersburg has not experienced these impediments. Petersburg’s current zoning ordinance dates to 1971 and offers many opportunities for the development of affordable housing. There are no requirements that prevent or exclude individuals from building or providing affordable housing. The lot size requirements in the residential zoning district are comparable to that of other localities and is not of a size that makes it impossible for individuals of limited resources to acquire and build upon. There are no cash proffers required for new construction or rehabilitation projects that provide housing units. The development of housing units is also permitted in many of our commercial zoning districts; which is unique from many other localities where you are restricted to residentially zoned districts or mixed-use zoning districts; however, in the City of Petersburg residential units are permitted in most commercial districts without the necessity of commercial use. The zoning ordinance in its imposition of requirements does not mandate or control whether the housing units are rental or owner-occupied. In addition, regulations imposed on housing units in the historic district do not impede individuals of limited resources from occupying the units. The zoning ordinance has provisions that allow for protective maintenance of housing that is in a historic district. This section of the ordinance requires that the building inspector and zoning administrator, to the extent that their power permit shall honor requests made. Furthermore, the City of Petersburg does not require a fee for review and approval of exterior changes to residential units located in a historic district. Annual Action Plan 23 2022 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 60 of 64 There is a level of review by an Architectural Review Board (ARB) for any exterior changes or repairs. No review is required by the local ARB for interior alterations. Nonetheless, the approvals granted by the ARB are based on what an applicant is proposing to do. This can vary from in-kind replacement or a change in the material at the request of an applicant. The City of Petersburg offers a wide variety of housing style and no one residential or commercial district where residential units are permitted dictates a design standard for the units. The zoning ordinance in the City of Petersburg does not impede affordable housing opportunities in fact it promotes and encourages the development of residential units, by its generic imposition of requirements on these types of developments. It is Petersburg’s goal to have a diverse community with job and housing opportunities for all its residents. This will require a commitment to a balanced revitalization and development strategy. The city enjoys a rich history and architecture. Historic preservation is an integral component of its revitalization strategy. While reinvestment in the city is mandatory for its revitalization, there is a need to seek and maintain a balance in the City’s housing planning efforts going forward. Discussion: Petersburg does not believe that it has policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing. The primary barriers to affordable housing include the lack of income by Petersburg residents and the limited resources for housing programs. Petersburg has the lowest household incomes in the surrounding area. Twenty five percent of its 16,325 housing units are vacant. The rental vacancy rate is 33.7%. Annual Action Plan 24 2022 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 61 of 64 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: Petersburg has the lowest household incomes of any jurisdiction in the area. There is a need for job opportunities. There is also a need for the rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. Resources are extremely limited. The city does not have resources for the needs. With up to 4,000 vacant units, the CDBG allocation would provide for the rehabilitation of some twenty homes. Petersburg is not eligible for participation in the HOME Program. The City provides CDBG funds for the repair of some fifteen homes annually. The city is also planning for the construction of new homes for sale and the construction of market rate apartments in the Canal Street corridor. The recovering housing market continues to be seen as an impediment to the sale of homes for both the market rate and subsidized markets. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Petersburg is committed to a revitalization effort for the stabilization and enhancement of residential and commercial environments and the promotion of investment and the creation of jobs. As an example, the City has adopted priorities for the use of CDBG funds to support the strategy. These priorities give preference to infrastructure, housing, public facilities, planning, and lastly, public services. The city actively pursues opportunities for funding to support its housing activities, and to attract investors to develop affordable apartments. Through its CDBG investments, it seeks to support private sector investment in housing opportunities. The revitalization efforts seek to promote residential and commercial investments such as apartments and restaurants and to enhance the overall environment as a place to invest, live and work. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Petersburg's revitalization efforts seek the stabilization and enhancement of its residential and commercial environments to promote investment and create jobs. They seek to repair homes owned by low-income individuals and families to stabilize the residential areas and allow the elderly to age in place. It supports mixed income development, including apartments for all market levels, including multi-family apartments for the elderly. They seek to support of its public housing and has supported development of significant numbers of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit apartments. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards Petersburg requires compliance with Lead Based Paint regulations by all its CDBG funded subrecipients. Annual Action Plan 25 2022 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 62 of 64 The city also seeks to reactivate its Lead Based Paint Program. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Reduction of the number of poverty level families will depend upon the success of the City's revitalization efforts. Actions planned to develop institutional structure Petersburg has an impressive institutional structure for service delivery. The city is currently in the process to designate development partners for its priority activities. It seeks to expand its residential rehabilitation programs and to provide additional homeownership opportunities. It has discussed the need for a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) for men and a permanent transitional housing facility for women and children. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies This is an ongoing and multifaceted process. The city will continue to discuss with its service providers gaps in the service delivery system and unmet needs. It will continue its conversations with housing providers, both public and private, to seek opportunities for coordination and partnership. It will continue its coordination with the Petersburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority and the many housing and development CDCs. Discussion: Petersburg actively seeks opportunities to pursue its revitalization goals and objectives. It has defined its highest priorities. It has enlisted the assistance of the U.S. Department of Housing and Community Development in pursuing a dialogue with its many stakeholders for the revitalization of the city.
