In accordance with the Federal Regulations found in 24 CFR Part 570, the City of Beckley, West Virginia
has prepared this Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the period of
October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.
This is the City of Beckley’s first CDBG program year as a Federal entitlement community. The City of
Beckley became a Federal entitlement community receiving Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in October 2014. The
first Five Year Consolidated Plan was prepared for 2014-2018. The Five Year Consolidated Plan allows a
community to take a comprehensive approach to use resources granted to the community by HUD. The
City of Beckley submits yearly an Annual Action Plan containing the proposed activities outlining the use
of CDBG fund for the upcoming program year. The Annual Action Plan relates the activities to goals and
objectives outlined in the Five Year Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) describes the activities
undertaken during this time period for funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The
projects/activities and accomplishments described in this CAPER principally benefit low- and moderate-
income persons and the funding has been targeted to neighborhoods where there is the highest
percentage of low- and moderate-income residents in the City of Beckley. The City of Beckley is part of
the West Virginia Balance of State Continuum of Care (CoC), which is the largest CoC in the State,
comprising 44 counties in total. The following is the overall program narrative based on the Five Year
Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans.
The document provides information on how the funds received by the City through the HUD program
was used, including an explanation on the leveraging and matching of funds.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons)
and assessing their individual needs
The following goals and objectives for the City of Beckley’s Homeless Strategy have been identified for
the five year period of FY 2014 through FY 2018.
Homeless Strategy –
Priority Need: There is a need for housing opportunities and services for homeless persons and persons
at-risk of becoming homeless.
Goals:
HO-1 Support local agencies’ efforts to provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, and
permanent housing.
HO-2 Assist providers in the operation of housing and support services for the homeless and
persons at-risk of becoming homeless.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The sheltered homeless are those in an emergency shelter, in transitional housing, or exiting an
institution where they temporarily resided, lacking a fixed nighttime residence. People will be
considered homeless if they are exiting an institution where they resided for up to 90 days (it was
previously 30 days), and people who are losing their primary nighttime residence which may be a motel,
hotel, or a doubled up situation within 14 days and lack resources or support networks to remain
housed. The City will also refer homeless providers to groups that can offer permanent housing
solutions for the homeless and chronically homeless.
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
The City of Beckley will support the efforts of local agencies that provide transitional housing for
veterans and their families, families with children and families that are victims of domestic violence, and
individuals dealing with mental health or substance abuse problems, to move them into more
permanent housing solutions. The City will also assist by matching homeless service providers with other
supportive services that can help their clients to become self-sufficient.
DRAFT
FY 2014 CAPER City of Beckley, WV
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 22
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City of Beckley will support the efforts of local agencies that provide assistance to families and
individuals in transitional states and will refer residents of the City that are at risk of becoming homeless
to these agencies for help with financial literacy counseling, emergency rent/mortgage or utility
payments, and job training so that they can remain self-sufficient and avoid homelessness.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The Housing Authority is using its capital funds to improve the conditions on the public housing units
and to provide a more suitable living environment. The Housing Authority FY 2015 Capital
Fund allocation is $286,968.00. In the FY 2015 Capital Budget the Housing Authority proposed the
following activities:
Operations: $111,968.00
Fees and Costs: $15,000.00
Dwelling Structures: $160,000.00
Total: $286,968.00
The Housing Authority owns and manages 209 units of public housing, of which 11 units are accessible.
In addition, the Housing Authority administers 398 Housing Choice Vouchers. The Housing Authority
secured an additional 140 Housing Choice Vouchers on June 1, 2014. A total of 89 Enhanced Vouchers
were under contract on June 1, 2014, and the remaining vouchers are being issued to applicants from
the waiting list. The Beckley Housing Authority continues to have high-performer status under the
Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP).
According to the Beckley Housing Authority’s Five Year Plan for the period of 2010-2014, the goals of the
Housing Authority are as follows:
Expand the supply of assisted housing
Improve the quality of assisted housing
Increase assisted housing choices
Provide improved living environment
Promote self-sufficiency
Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing
Progress in meeting goals and objectives in the previous five-year plan
The Beckley Housing Authority’s current operating budget provides funds for routine maintenance and
operating costs. The Housing Authority receives an annual grant from HUD through the Capital Fund
Program (CFP) for capital improvements and renovation costs. The CFP funds include the construction of
capital maintenance initiatives identified in the Housing Authority’s Five Year Plan, as well as
implementation of the agency’s Section 504 handicap accessibility improvements.
The Housing Authority’s biggest challenges are renovating the existing public housing units and the lack
of sufficient Housing Choice Vouchers to meet the demand for housing by low-income persons. The
Housing Authority has been working to make reasonable accommodations to its public housing units to
satisfy the Section 504 requirements for persons with physical disabilities such as mobility, visual, and
DRAFT
FY 2014 CAPER City of Beckley, WV
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 24
hearing impairments. The physical condition of the public housing is good but maintenance and
upgrading is needed due to the age of the units. There is a need to make more units accessible to the
physically handicapped tenants. The City, through its Community Policing Program, will provide
additional policing at the public housing communities funded through the FY 2015 CDBG Program.
The Beckley Housing Authority is improving public safety and crime prevention at its public housing
communities. Safety measures are a high priority due to the increase in violent and drug-related crimes,
as well as occurrences of other low level crimes such as vandalism and graffiti.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The Housing Authority of the City of Beckley currently follows and will continue to follow all Federal
regulations regarding community service requirements for public housing. The Housing Authority
currently maintains a self-sufficiency program under the Housing Choice Voucher Program and will
continue to follow all federal requirements governing this program.
Most resident initiatives or self-sufficiency programs have been discontinued due to lack of interest. The
extra room/community room space in the developments is mostly used for storage.
A goal of the Housing Authority of the City of Beckley is to instill a sense of pride in their residents so
that they choose to engage in “community policing”. When a person is approved to apply for public
housing, the Housing Authority would like for them to attend an orientation program where the rules
and standards are reviewed, and residents understand the consequences of bringing crime into the
community.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Beckley Housing Authority is not classified as “troubled” by HUD and is performing satisfactorily
according to HUD guidelines and standards. Therefore, no assistance is needed to improve operations of
this Public Housing Authority.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The following are actions that the City of Beckley took during this CAPER period to affirmatively further
fair housing in the City:
Demolish vacant dilapidated structures in the City’s low and moderate income neighborhoods
and on a spot basis.
Continue the housing inspection program for code compliance in low and moderate income
neighborhoods.
The Beckley Human Rights Commission continued to attend fair housing trainings.
The Human Rights Commission continued to investigate and answer questions on housing
complaints.
The Human Rights Commission continued to look at ways to partner with other agencies and
organizations to affirmatively further fair housing.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Despite efforts made by the City of Beckley and social service providers, a number of significant
obstacles remain to meeting underserved needs. With funding resources being scarce, funding becomes
the greatest obstacle for the City of Beckley to meet its underserved needs. Insufficient funding lessens
the ability to fund many worthwhile public service programs, activities, and agencies. The City through
its planning efforts will use its limited resources to address the City of Beckley’s greatest needs and
improve the quality of life for its residents. The following obstacles need to be overcome in order to
meet underserved needs:
Lack of decent, safe, sound, and affordable owner and renter housing
High cost of rehabilitation work
Aging in place population who need accessibility improvements
Need major rehabilitation of the City’s aging housing stock
The increasing number of vacant and abandoned properties
High unemployment rate and loss of household income
Low wages in the service and retail sector job market

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
To foster and maintain affordable housing, the City of Beckley continued to work on ways to partner
with not-for-profit and for-profit housing developers. The City and the Human Rights Commission
continued to do education and outreach during this CAPER period. The Fuller Center rehabilitated one
(1) owner-occupied housing unit in the City.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Environmental quality is one aspect of determining the decent and safe condition of housing units. The
most significant environmental factor of housing facing residents today is the incidence and hazard of
lead based paint. Although lead was banned from residential paint in 1978, more than half of the total
U.S. housing stock (an estimated 57 million older homes) contains some lead based paint.
Approximately 20 million housing units contain lead hazards including: flaking or peeling lead based
paint, or excessive levels of tiny lea d particles in household dust. HUD estimates that 3.8 million homes
which contain immediate lead hazards are occupied by families with young children who are at
immediate risk of lead poisoning. Half of these families own their homes; half have incomes above
$30,000 per year.
The revised Federal Lead-Based Paint Regulations published on September 15, 1999 (24 CFR Part 35)
have had a significant impact on many activities – rehabilitation, tenant based rental assistance, and
property acquisition – supported by the CDBG program. The City of Beckley will comply with Title 24,
Part 35: Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures (Current Rule).
Rehabilitation Programs:
The City of Beckley supports the rehabilitation programs operated by the Fuller Center and will ensure
that the following will be done:
Applicants for rehabilitation funding receive the required lead-based paint information and
understand their responsibilities.
Staff properly determines whether proposed projects are exempt from some or all lead-based
paint requirements.
The level of federal rehabilitation assistance is properly calculated and the applicable lead-based
paint requirements determined.
Properly qualified personnel perform risk management, paint testing, lead hazard reduction,
and clearance services when required.
Required lead hazard reduction work and protective measures are incorporated into project
rehabilitation specifications.
Risk assessment, paint testing, lead hazard reduction, and clearance work are performed in
accordance with the applicable standards established in 24 CFR Part 35.
Required notices regarding lead-based paint evaluation, presumption, and hazard reduction are
provided to occupants and documented.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 27
Program documents establish the rental property owner’s responsibility to perform and
document ongoing lead-based paint maintenance activities, when applicable.
Program staff monitors owner compliance with ongoing lead-based paint maintenance
activities, when applicable.
Homeownership Programs:
The City of Beckley will ensure that:
Applicants for homeownership assistance receive adequate information about lead-based paint
requirements.
Staff properly determines whether proposed projects are exempt from some or all lead based
paint requirements.
A proper visual assessment is performed to identify deteriorated paint in the dwelling unit, any
common areas servicing the unit, and exterior surfaces of the building or soil.
Prior to occupancy, properly qualified personnel perform paint stabilization and the dwelling
passes a clearance exam in accordance with the standards established in 24 CFR Part 35.
The home purchaser receives the required lead-based paint pamphlet and notices.
During this CAPER period, the City did not abate for lead-based paint hazards with CDBG funds.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
According to the 2008-2012 American Community Survey, approximately 24.8% of Beckley residents live
in poverty. Female-headed households with children are particularly affected by poverty at 51.8%, and
29.2% of all youth under the age of 18 were living in poverty. This information is taken from the U.S.
Census "2008-2012" ACS Five Year Estimates. The City’s goal of reducing the extent of poverty is 5%,
based on actions the City has control over, or actions in which the City will cooperate with outside
agencies.
The City’s anti-poverty strategy is based on attracting a range of businesses and supporting workforce
development, including job-training services for low income residents. In addition, the City’s strategy is
to provide supportive services for target income residents.
Planned economic development and anti-poverty programs include:
Job-training services through Workforce West Virginia
Development of new commercial/industrial facilities
Homeless prevention services
Childcare assistance
Promotion of new job opportunities

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
The City of Beckley Grant Administrator has the primary responsibility for monitoring the City’s
Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. It maintains records on the progress toward meeting the
goals and the statutory and regulatory compliance of each activity. Service area documentation is
maintained along with income surveys. Timeliness of expenditures is achieved through scheduling
activities, drawdown of funds, and maintenance of budget spread sheets which indicate the dates of
expenditures. Program modifications are considered if project activities are not able to be completed
within the allowable time limits of the grant. The Grant Administrator is also responsible for the on-
going monitoring of any sub-recipients for similar compliance.
The City of Beckley’s Grant Administrator has a “monitoring checklist” that is utilized when programs
and activities are reviewed. This checklist was developed in accordance with Sub-Part J of 24 CFR, Part
85 “Uniform Administrative Requirement for Grants and Cooperative Agreements of State and Local
Governments” and the HUD Community Planning and Development Monitoring Handbook (HUD 6509.2)
CDBG funded activities are monitored periodically, during the construction phase, and a final inspection
is performed which details the cost benefit and benefit to low- and moderate-income persons. During
the on-site inspections, compliance with the local building and housing codes are reviewed. Copies of
financial statements and audit reports are required and kept on file. For those activities which trigger
Davis-Bacon Wage Rates, employee payrolls are required prior to payments and on-site employee
interviews will be held. These monitoring standards are required for all City administered projects and
sub-recipient activities.
For each activity authorized under the National Affordable Housing Act, the Community Development
Department has established fiscal and management procedures that will ensure program compliance
and fund accountability. Additionally, the Department will ensure that the reports to the U.S.
Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) are complete and accurate.
The monitoring process is not a “one-time” event. The process is an on-going system of planning,
implementation, communication and following-up.
During this CAPER period, the City did not do any monitoring of its subrecipients since they did not have
any project funded with FY 2014 CDBG funds.

CR-115 – Fair Housing
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Overview:
The City of Beckley prepared an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in 2014 to coincide with
the City’s FY 2014-2018 Five Year Consolidated Plan. The AI identified the following impediments:
Impediment 1: Fair Housing Education and Outreach There is a need to educate persons about their rights under the Fair Housing Act and to raise
community awareness to affirmatively further fair housing choice, especially for low-income
residents, minorities and the disabled population.
Impediment 2: Continuing Need for Affordable Housing The median value and cost to purchase and maintain a single family home in Beckley that is
decent, safe, and sound is $95,400, which limits the choice of housing for lower income
households. About 7.56% of homeowners and 17.07% of renters in the City are cost
overburdened by more than 50% of their household income.
Impediment 3: Continuing Need for Accessible Housing Units As an older built-up urban environment, there is a lack of accessible housing units and
developable sites in the City of Beckley, since 53.8% of the City’s housing units were built over
50 years ago and do not have accessibility features, and 20.1% of the City’s population is
classified as disabled.
Impediment 4: There is a Lack of Financial Resources The Federal Government continues to reduce the amount of CDBG and other funds for housing
programs in HUD’s annual budget, which reduces the allocations to entitlement communities,
thus putting a strain on limited financial resources due to the housing crisis and increased
unemployment.
Impediment 5: Economic Issues Affect Housing Choice There is a lack of economic opportunities in the City which prevents low-income households
from improving their income and ability to live outside areas with concentrations of low-income
households, which makes this a fair housing concern.
The Beckley Human Rights Commission accomplished the following during the FY 2014 CAPER Period:
The Beckley Human Rights Commission has two (2) cases open. The status is being monitored. The following trainings were attended by the Commission Chair:
o The Annual Disability Awareness Forum, at Tamarack, on October 23, 2014, as a
representative of the Beckley Human Rights Commission and passed out agency
brochures and pens.
o The Summit on Race Matters in Appalachia, which took place in Charleston on November
10th and 11th, 2014.
