Except as may be permitted by the HOME Program, Subrecipient's sole remedy in the event of noncompliance or breach by an Eligible Household shall be non -renewal of assistance under the TBRA Program. (a) Rental Assistance Calculation. Subrecipient shall calculate the "Rental Assistance" payments to be paid on behalf of each Eligible Household under this Agreement The maximum amount of monthly assistance that Interval House may pay on behalf of a family is the difference between the rent standard for the unit size and 30% of the household's monthly adjusted income.

Payment standards are established by bedroom size (c) Utility Allowance. When utilities are included in the cost of renting a unit, that is, the owner assumes responsibility for payment for all utility services, the Eligible Households entire share of the housing costs will go directly to the owner. When the cost of utilities is not part of the rent, that is, the Eligible Household is directly responsible for payment of utility services, the Eligible Household's initial share of monthly rent will be determined by subtracting a utility allowance from 30% of the Eligible Household's gross monthly income. The Subrecipient must use the 154867/ 124847 8 County of Orange's Housing Authority's Utility Allowance Schedule attached to the TBRA Program Operating Guidelines as Appendix H. (d) Term. The Subrecipient will provide rental assistance for an initial term of 6-12 months, which can be extended in 6-12 month intervals for a cumulative term of up to 24 months.

Any disputes involving the return, or lack thereof, of a security deposit shall be settled by Eligible Household and landlord, as provided for in the lease 1.6 Administrative Cost Reimbursements The City will reimburse the Subrecipient for allowable costs incurred in administering the TBRA Program, which are associated with the determination of income eligibility, pursuant to 24 CFR 92.203, and property inspections under HQS, codified per 24 CFR 982.401. Administrative costs incurred in administering the TBRA Program that are ineligible under the HOME Program will be reimbursed from a non -HOME Program funding source, or Inclusionary Funds The administrative costs to be reimbursed from the Inclusionary Funds include Intake Assessments, Housing Search, Case Management, Self -Sufficiency and related services and overhead 1.7 Termination of Assistance and Returning Eligible Households. (a) Termination of Rental Assistance. Subrecipient may terminate assistance under the TBRA Program for any of the following reasons: (i) Eligible Household is evicted from the Housing Unit based on behavioral issues or unlawful activity; (ii) Eligible Household has violated TBRA participant agreement (iii) Eligible Household will be assisted by another rental assistance program such as the Section 8 Tenant -Based or Project -Based Programs. Participation in any other rental assistance program is considered a duplicative subsidy therefore all HOME funded rental assistance must be terminated. 15-4867/124847 9 1.8 Returning Eligible Households. As needed, Eligible Households may be allowed to return to the program for rental assistance. A determination to allow re-entry shall be based on the following criteria: (i) Eligible Households must have left the program in good standing. To be in good standing, Eligible Households must have been engaged in their case management plan, voluntarily left the program (not in lieu of termination) or have been released because their household income exceeded eligibility limits. In general, Eligible Households will not be allowed to re-enter the program if they were terminated for non-compliance (ii) At the discretion of the Subrecipient, a request for re -admission from a prospective Eligible Household previously terminated due to non-compliance may be considered when compelling reasons exist. In such cases, re -admission will require concurrence from the City. (iii) Eligible Households may return so long as the previous rental assistance did not exceed 24 months. Cumulatively, Eligible Households may not receive rental advice for more than a cumulative period of 24 months unless such assistance is permitted by the HOME Program and approved by the City. 1.9 Additional Requirements. (a) Self -Sufficiency Program. Subrecipient shall request each Eligible Household receiving Subsidy Payments from the Subrecipient to participate in a "Self -Sufficiency Program" administered by Subrecipient and in accordance with the Case Management and Self Sufficiency Program Policies and Procedures attached to the TBRA Program Operating Guidelines as Appendix I. Failure of an Eligible Household that is already receiving Subsidy Payments to participate in the Self - Sufficiency Program shall not be grounds for termination of the Subsidy Payments, but may be grounds for non -renewal of Subsidy Payments upon expiration of the subsidy term. (b) No Fees. Subrecipient may not charge fees to any Eligible Household for the Services, Subsidy Payments, Self -Sufficiency Program or other services or assistance to be provided to Eligible Households under this Agreement. 1.10 Schedule of Performance.

Item 20. - 33 HB -804- III. Determination of Eligibility The Program will utilize HOME Program funds for supportive services and rental assistance As such, the applicants must meet the eligibility qualifications of the HOME Program. Eligibility for services offered by the Program shall adhere to the following selection criteria. A. Income Eligible Households ■ To receive supportive services as well as rental assistance under the HOME Program, the Applicant's total household income must be at or below 30% of the Orange County area median income (AMI). However, once the Applicant is part of the Program, the household income can increase up to 80% of the AMI before Interval House must give notice of termination from the Program. ■ Income limits for extremely -low income households are established annually for the HOME Program by HUD for the Orange County income limit area. ■ Gross Annual Income shall be determined in accordance with 24 CFR 5.609, with the allowable exclusions from income established at 24 CFR 5.611. ■ Gross Annual Income means the gross amount of income from all sources, including assets, for all adult household members that is anticipated to be received prospectively during the 12-month period following the date of application and before any deductions are taken ■ Interval House will determine and verify eligibility for assistance under the Program through the review of income source documents. As outlined in the revised HOME rules published in July 2013, applicants must provide evidence of income for the two (2) most recent months Acceptable source documents include wage statements, check stubs, entitlement verification from another government agency and bank statements The definition of income for the purposes of the Program is located at 24 CFR Part 5 (often referred to as the Section 8 definition) In cases where no evidence of income (third -party verification) is available, Interval House may allow clients to self -report their income In such cases, Interval House staff will provide a written explanation for why they were unable to obtain third -party verification or documentation. ■ Interval House may also consider any likely changes in income when collecting income verification documentation ■ Initial income verifications are valid for six months. If admission to the Program takes longer than 6 months, income verifications must be updated and reevaluated. After initial verification, income recertification shall be conducted annually ■ Income verifications will be used for two purposes. — To determine eligibility for services. A determination of eligibility will be completed as part of the admissions process and thereafter annually. xB -805- Item 20. - 34 — Income information will be used to establish the household's initial contribution toward rent, which shall be set at 30% of the household income. The household's initial contribution will remain unchanged for at least six months B. Current Residents of the City of Huntington Beach Due to the nature of the population served by the Program, it may not be possible to obtain traditional proof of residency documentation such as utility bills The following documentation can be accepted to establish that an applicant household qualifies for the Huntington Beach live/work preference. ■ Documentation from a Huntington Beach school that the children in the household have been enrolled in and attending the school for at least the last 90 days from the time of admission into the Program ■ Documentation from a partner agency, such as the Huntington Beach Police Department, evidencing that the family is known to be homeless in Huntington Beach ■ Proof that the applicant's last place of stable residency was in the City of Huntington Beach Verification from a landlord is acceptable ■ Proof that an adult member of the household is working or has been recently hired to work in Huntington Beach.

IV. Selection of Housing A. Housing Unit Selection Eligible Households must be residents of Huntington Beach and may elect to rent any Housing Unit in the City so long as the unit meets federal housing quality standards (HQS) or such other standards as may be made applicable to the Program by HOME Program statues and/or regulations, specifically including Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) and passes a rent reasonableness test Due to the nature of the population served by the Program, it is expected that Interval House will assist Eligible Households with finding and selecting an appropriate Housing Unit that meets all program requirements If an appropriate Housing Unit cannot be located within the City boundaries, a Housing Unit can be located outside of the City boundaries when housing is not suitable within City boundaries While Interval House can refer Eligible Households to appropriate Housing Units, households may not be required to select a particular Housing Unit Rental assistance under the Program is only provided for Housing Units that meet the criteria established by the City of Huntington Beach HOME/TBRA Program. B. Occupancy Standards The number of persons in each Eligible Household will determine the required unit type Each household must comply with the two per bedroom plus one occupancy standard. The following table provides the occupancy standards by unit type C. Property Inspections Prior to occupancy of any Housing Unit by an Eligible Household, and again during the annual verification process, Interval House will have a certified HQS inspector, inspect each Housing Unit to HB -807- Item 20. - 36 ensure the unit complies with HQS as set forth in the HOME Program (24 CFR 92 251), as well as all applicable state and local codes and ordinances, including zoning ordinances Each HQS inspection will include the following ■ Verification of the age of the Housing Unit (on Rent Reasonableness Form), ■ Completed HQS Inspection Form (HUD-52580); ■ Lead -based paint hazard assessment, dissemination of lead -based paint information pamphlet and disclosure form and lead -based paint reduction activities, if required, ■ Adequate opportunity for landlord to correct any deficiencies indicated in the HQS Inspection form to bring the Housing Unit into compliance; and ■ Verification that occupancy by the Eligible Household will comply with occupancy standards The HQS Inspection Form is located in Appendix D. D. Rent Reasonableness Rental assistance paid on behalf of the Eligible Household must be in compliance with federal Rent Reasonableness requirements which require that rents paid by or on behalf of assisted households be similar to rents paid by non -assisted households Rent Reasonableness reviews will be performed by Interval House The factors listed below shall be considered when determining rent comparability. ■ Location and age, ■ Unit size including the number of rooms and square footage or rooms; ■ The type of unit including construction type (e.g., single family, duplexes, garden, low-rise, high- rise); ■ The quality of the unit, which includes the building construction, maintenance and improvements; and ■ Amenities, services and utilities included in the rent Interval House will follow both the rent reasonableness regulations established for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program at 24 CFR 982 507 to evaluate rents. In the event that a rent request does not meet rent reasonableness requirements, Interval House shall attempt to negotiate a lower rent with the property owner If the owner is not willing to accept a lower rent, the household must be instructed to search for another unit Under no circumstances shall Interval House or the assisted household agree to pay more than approved through the rent reasonableness review. Additionally, the assisted household is not allowed to make up any difference in the rent offer Item 20. - 37 HB -808- E. Coordination with Landlords Interval House will meet with and provide guidance to landlords participating in the Program regarding the requirements and procedures that impact landlords i. Landlord Agreement (Appendix E) ■ Interval House will enter into a Landlord Agreement with each participating landlord or property owner The Landlord Agreement will establish the security deposit assistance payment and the initial rental assistance payments to be paid on behalf of the household The Agreement will also establish the participating household's initial share of the contract rent The Agreement will also require the landlord to provide Interval House with notice of a lease termination, and reaffirm the tenant protections included in the Tenant Protection Agreement ■ The Eligible Household's share of rent will be re-evaluated every 6 months ■ This contract will have an initial term of 12 months. ii. Tenant Protection Agreement (Appendix F) ■ The landlord will be required to enter into a lease agreement with a term of 12 months with any Eligible Household occupying a Housing Unit ■ The lease agreement will include a Tenant Protection Agreement that will be executed in connection with the lease between the landlord and the Eligible Household. ■ The Tenant Protection Agreement will include the following elements ■ Prohibit the inclusion of the following provisions in the lease, as required by 24 CFR 92 253. ■ (1) Agreement to be sued, ■ (2) Treatment of property; ■ (3) Excusing owner from responsibility, ■ (4) Waiver of notice; ■ (5) Waiver of legal proceedings, ■ (6) Waiver of a jury trial; ■ (7) Waiver of right to appeal court decision, ■ (8) Tenant chargeable with cost of legal actions regardless of outcome, and ■ (9) Mandatory supportive services. xB -809- Item 20. - 38 ■ Confirm the landlord's obligation to maintain the Housing Unit in accordance with HQS, as established at 24 CFR 982 401 ■ Prohibit discrimination by the landlord against the Eligible Household. ■ Interval House will review the lease agreement to confirm its compliance with state law and all HOME Program requirements V. Payment Standards, Rent Calculation, Term and Subsidy Reductions As authorized by HOME TBRA regulations, the Program will rely on a traditional rental assistance calculation The model allows for the rent subsidy determination based on 30% of household income. A. Rent Assistance Calculation Interval House will complete a rental assistance calculation for each Eligible Household. The calculation will determine each household's Program subsidy and share of the rent The maximum amount of monthly assistance that Interval House may pay on behalf of a family is the difference between the rent standard for the unit size and 30% of the household's monthly adjusted income. Each household's maximum rent subsidy will vary since the calculation involves the use of individualized factors such as the household's actual income and family size The initial household contribution to rent will remain unchanged for at least six months Minimum tenant contribution to rent under the Program is set at $50 00 This minimum is used if the maximum subsidy calculation would result in the household paying less than $50.00 towards the monthly rent (e.g if 30% of the household's monthly adjusted income is less than $50 00) This minimum contribution may be waived in exceptional circumstances. B. Rent Reasonableness Standards The Program must use the Rent Reasonableness Standard (Appendix G) to calculate monthly rental assistance. The payment standards represent the cost of rent and utilities for moderately priced units in Huntington Beach. Payment standards are established by bedroom size When utilities are included in the cost of renting a unit, that is, the owner assumes responsibility for payment for all utility services, the household's entire share of the housing costs will go directly to the owner When the cost of utilities is not part of the rent, that is, the household is directly responsible for payment of utility services, the household's initial share will be determined by subtracting a utility allowance from 30% of the household's income. Interval House must use the Orange County Housing Authority utility allowance schedule (Appendix H) to determine the household's utility allowance In these cases, the household's share of the rent is equal to 30% of the household's monthly adjusted income minus the applicable monthly utility allowance. Each household is responsible for paying their rent share directly to the landlord each month Item 20. - 39 HB -810- If a selected Housing Unit is subject to contractual, statutory and/or regulatory affordability restriction, the monthly rental assistance payments will not exceed the difference between the required affordable rent amount for the Housing Unit and 30% of the Eligible Household's monthly adjusted income. i. Participant Agreement (Appendix J) Interval House will enter into a Participant Agreement with each participating client household The Participant Agreement will establish the Eligible Household's responsibilities towards rent payments The Agreement will establish the participating household's initial share of the contract rent, which will be adjusted every 6 months ii. Term Interval House will provide rental assistance for an initial term of 6 months, which can be extended every 6-12 months, for a cumulative term of up to 24 months Extensions will be granted at the discretion of Interval House and shall be based on continued Program compliance and ongoing need Interval House will utilize the Gap Analysis and Income Re -Evaluation to assess ongoing need and adjust household's share of rent as appropriate. Households with income above 60% AMI will be notified about income eligibility limits. iii. Subsidy Reductions The participant's household income will be reevaluated every six months If the household income has increased since the previous evaluation, the participant's monthly rent responsibility will be adjusted accordingly per Rent Assistance Calculation as stated in above section V A VI. Security Deposits As needed, Interval House will provide security deposit assistance to Eligible Households Such assistance shall be the lesser of ■ Two months approved rent for the Housing Unit, or ■ The standard security deposit required by the landlord for non -subsidized tenants Security deposit assistance provided to participating households will be in the form of a grant. As such, the landlord can provide a security deposit refund directly to the household. Any disputes involving the return, or lack thereof, of a security deposit shall be settled by the tenant and landlord, as provided for in the lease xB -811- Item 20. - 40 VII. Annual Recertification, Termination of Assistance and Returning Households A. Annual Recertification Recertification of income and Program eligibility will occur annually Interval House will gather source documentation for participating households to determine annual income Annual income must be calculated in accordance with 24 CFR Part 5 If the total household income is above 80% AMI, rental assistance must be terminated following a 30 day notification period B. Termination of Rental Assistance Assistance can be terminated for the following reasons ■ Eviction from the assisted rental unit based on behavioral issues and/or unlawful activity The family will be assisted by another rental assistance program such as the Section 8 Tenant -Based or Project -Based program Participation in any other rental assistance program is considered a duplicative subsidy therefore all HOME funded rental assistance must terminate C. Returning Participant Households As needed, participants may be allowed to return to the Program for either support services, rental assistance or both A determination to allow re-entry shall be based on the following criteria Participants must have left the Program in good standing To be in good standing, participants must have been engaged in their case management plan, voluntarily left the program (not in -lieu of termination) or have been released because their household income exceeded eligible limits. In general, participants will not be allowed to re-enter the Program if they were terminated for non- compliance ■ At the discretion of Interval House, a request for readmission from a non -compliant household may be considered when compelling reasons exist In such cases, re -admission will require concurrence from the City The Participant's previous rental assistance did not exceed 24 months Cumulatively, participants will only be allowed to receive rental assistance for a maximum of 24 months VIII. Self Sufficiency Program Interval House will request each Eligible Household receiving rental assistance payments to participate in a Self -Sufficiency Program administered by Interval House The Case Management and Self - Sufficiency Program Policies and Procedures are outlined in Appendix J Item 20. - 41 HB -812- The Self -Sufficiency Program provides participating households with intense case management, which is designed to assist participants move to self-sufficiency within a 12 to 24 month period Income recertifications will be completed annually for participating households. If the participating household's income exceeds the low (80% AMI) income limits, Interval House must terminate the rental assistance Listed below are some of the Self -Sufficiency Case Management Services offered by Interval House A. Case Management The Interval House Case Management model maximizes client success by developing individualized service plans and addressing clients' specific needs in securing permanent housing and self-sufficiency Clients will meet with their Case Manger on a minimum of a monthly basis to update goals, monitor progress, and ensure long-term housing stability.

It also tells you what actions to take to address any hazards A combination risk assessment and inspection tells you if your home has any lead hazards and if your home has any lead -based paint, and where the lead -based paint is located. Hire a trained and certified testing profes- slonaL who will use a range of reliable methods when testing your home Visual inspection of paint condition and location. * A portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine + Lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples There are state and federal programs in place to ensure that testing is done safely, reliably, and effectively.

HB -889- Item 20. - 118 What You Can Do Now To Protect Your Family If you suspect that your house has lead hazards, you can take some immediate steps to reduce your family's risk: + If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint. + Clean up paint chips immediately. + Clean floors, window frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner or a cleaner made specifically for lead REMEMBER NEVER MIX AMMONIA AND BLEACH PRODUCTS TOGETHER SINCE THEY CAN FORM A DANGEROUS GAS Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads after cleaning dirty or dusty areas Wash children's hands often, especial- ly before they eat and before nap time and bed time. * Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly. * Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces. Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead from soil.

Always use a professional who is trained to remove lead hazards safely. 1.1 In addition to day-to-day cleaning and good nutrition: * You can temporarily reduce lead hazards by talang actions such as repairing dam- aged painted surfaces and planting grass to cover soil with high lead levels. These actions (called "interim controls") are not permanent solutions and will need ongo- ing attention * To permanently remove lead hazards, you should hire a certified lead "abate- ment" contractor. Abatement (or perma- nent hazard elimination) methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead -based paint with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular paint is not permanent removal Always hire a person with special training for correcting lead problems —someone who knows how to do this work safely and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government. Once the work is completed, dust cleanup activities must be repeated until testing indicates that lead dust levels are below the following- * 40 micrograms per square foot ('.r,¢. V) for Floors, including carpeted floors; * 250 pg/ftz for interior windows sills; and * 400 pg/ft2 for window troughs Call your state or local agency (see bottom of page 11) for help in locating certified professionals in your area and to see if financial assistance is available. xB -891- Item 20. - 120 liemodelling or Renovating a Home With Lead -Based Paint Take precautions before your contractor or you begin remodeling or renovating any- thing that disturbs painted surfaces (such as scraping off paint or tearing out walls) Have the area tested for lead -based paint. Do not use a belt -sander, propane torch, high temperature heat gun, dry scraper, or dry sandpaper to remove lead -based paint These actions- create large amounts of lead dust and fumes Lead dust can remain In your home long after the work is done. Temporarily move your family (espe- cially children and pregnant women) out of the apartment or house until the work is done and the area is prop- erly cleaned 1f you can't move your family, at least completely seal off the work area. Follow other safety measures to reduce lead hazards. You can find out about other safety measures by calling 1-800-424-LEAD. Ask for the brochure "Reducing Lead Hazards When Remodeling Your Home." This brochure explains what to do before, during, and after renovations. If you have already completed renova- tions or remodeling that could have released lead -based paint or dust, get your young children tested and follow the steps outlined on page 7 of this brochure If not conducted properly, certain types of renova- tions can release lead from paint and dust into the air. oEPA ��`'` 9 Item 20. - 121 Hs -842- Other Sources of Lead While paint, dust, and soil are the most common sources of lead, other lead sources also exist. t0 a Drinking water.

(Throughout this document, italicized text in grey boxes represents the specific questions/topics that must be addressed.) GENERAL The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that identifies the City of Huntington Beach's overall housing and community development needs, and outlines a strategy to address those needs. The Consolidated Plan includes the following components: ■ An assessment of the City of Huntington Beach's housing and community development needs and market conditions; ■ A five-year strategy that establishes priorities for addressing the identified housing and community development needs; and ■ A one-year investment plan (Annual Action Plan) that outlines the intended use of federal resources (bound separately). This Consolidated Plan five-year strategy covers the planning period of Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 through FY 2014 (i.e., October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2015). Five -Year Strategic Plan 1 2010 - 2014 Item 20. - 141 HB - 9 1 Substan#sal.Ametidment No. Four OF • BEACH) Executive Summary Organization of Document This document constitutes the Five -Year Strategic Plan component of the City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan for the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) funds. The Consolidated Plan has the following major components: An assessment of housing and community development needs based on demographic and housing information - This needs assessment is incorporated throughout this Strategic Plan. Implementing strategies to address housing and community development needs - These strategies are elaborated in this Strategic Plan document. Annual actions - The Annual Action Plan outlines the City's intended uses of CDBG and HOME funds for the upcoming fiscal year. This document is structured in accordance with the Consolidated Plan Management Program (CPMP) developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), agency overseeing the CDBG and HOME funds. Italicized text in text box represents HUD instructions on the Consolidated Plan requirements. City responses follow the instructions, usually numbered as such to correlate with the instructions. Program Description The FY 2010 - FY 2014 Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan satisfies the requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program was initiated by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974. The primary objective of the program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Regulations governing the CDBG program also require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives: Benefit low and moderate income persons; Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; and Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency. The HOME program was created by the 1990 National Affordable Housing Act. The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental and ownership housing for low and moderate income households, replacing a series of programs previously funded by HUD. The program gives the grantee flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -913- Item 20. - 142 OF • Substanal Arnenderit N.au Purpose of the Consolidated Plan The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that provides an assessment of the City's community development needs, proposes strategies to address those needs, and identifies specific activities to implement those strategies. This Consolidated Plan covers the period beginning October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2015, spanning five fiscal years. The Consolidated Plan also includes a one-year investment plan (Annual Action Plan) that outlines the intended use of resources in the upcoming fiscal year. The Action Plan is bound under separate cover. As required by HUD guidelines, the identification of needs and the adoption of strategies to address those needs must focus primarily on low and moderate income individuals and households. The Consolidated Plan must also address "special -needs" identified by the federal government or locally, such as the needs of the elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, single parents, homeless individuals and families, persons with drug/alcohol abuses, and persons with HIV/AIDS. Consultation and Citizen Participation This plan is the product of comprehensive public outreach, including a community needs survey, public meetings before the City's Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB), and consultation with agencies, groups, and organizations involved in affordable housing, provision of services to persons with special needs. Mission Statement The City of Huntington Beach provides sustainable quality services to maintain and enhance our safe and vibrant community. • Maintain and enhance our financial reserves ■ Maintain, improve and obtain funding for public improvements. • Maintain and enhance public safety. ■ Enhance economic development. ■ Improve internal and external communication. Priority Needs and Strategies 14UNT1"6T0tJ eEkCH Z02-0 The overall priorities for the Consolidated Plan are to use these federal funds to: 1) increase self-sufficiency and economic opportunity for low and moderate income residents and individuals with special needs so that they can achieve a reasonable standard of living; and 2) enhance suitable living environments and promote economic opportunities. National objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD are the basis for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 OEM Item 20. - 143 HI3 -914- Substantial ,Amendment Na Four .. OF • allocated. The following are the national objectives that form the foundation for allocation of investments in Huntington Beach: ■ Enhance suitable living environments; ■ Create decent and affordable housing; and ■ Promote economic opportunities, especially for low and moderate income households. The City has incorporated outcome measures for activities in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006. Projects are required to meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at least one of the following: ■ Availability/Accessibility; ■ Affordability; and ■ Sustainability (Promoting Livable or Viable Communities). In addition to national objectives and performance outcomes, the City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the service delivery system. While other goals the City has set are also important, for the purposes of the Consolidated Plan, only those which are anticipated to be funded with CPD funding programs (CDBG and HOME) during the five-year planning cycle are discussed in detail in this document. The City utilizes other funding sources to meet a variety of other goals set by the City. The City has established priorities for allocating CDBG and HOME funds based on a number of criteria, including urgency of needs, cost efficiency, eligibility of activities and programs, availability of other funding sources to address specific needs, funding program limitations, capacity and authority for implementing actions, and consistency with citywide goals, policies, and efforts. Housing Priorities ■ Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single -Family and Multi -Family Dwelling Units. ■ Assist Low and Moderate Income Households in Securing Affordable Homeownership Opportunities. ■ Improve and Preserve Neighborhood Conditions. ■ Promote Equal Housing Opportunity. ■ Expand and Preserve Affordable Housing Opportunities. Homeless Need Priorities ■ Provide Assistance to the Homeless and Persons At -Risk of Becoming Homeless. Community Development and Community Services Priorities ■ Provide and Improve Community Services for Low and Moderate Income Persons and Those with Non -Homeless Special Needs. ■ Improve and Expand Community Facilities and Infrastructure to Meet Current and Future Needs. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HI3 -915- Item 20. - 144 OF • = SubsWntlal Amendment Nci: Four.

Anti -Poverty Priorities • Promote Economic Development and Employment Opportunities for Low and Moderate Income Households. Funding to Implement the Plan The priorities and accomplishment goals outlined in this document are based on assumptions about future funding levels for the Consolidated Plan programs. In all cases, Huntington Beach has presumed consistent funding of each program at levels outlined below. Because these programs are subject to annual Congressional appropriations as well as potential changes in funding distribution formulas or the number of communities eligible to receive entitlement grants, the accomplishment projections and planned activities are subject to change with availability of funding.

Dour ` BEACH] Due every three, four, or five years (length of period is at the grantee's discretion) no less than 45days prior to the start of the grantee's program year start date. HUD does not accept plans between August 15 and November 15. The City of Huntington Beach has elected to submit a Five -Year Strategic Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in August 2010. The Five -Year Plan covers the period of October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2015. 1. Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income families andlor raciallminority concentration) in which assistance will be directed. 2. Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) (91.215(a)(1)) and the basis for assigning the priority (including the relative priority, where required) given to each category of priority needs (91.215(a)(2)). Where appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the percentage of funds the jurisdiction plans to dedicate to target areas. 3. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs (91,215(a)(3)). 1. Geographic Distribution of Funds The geographic distribution of Huntington Beach's eligible CDBG and HOME programs is as follows: The eight Enhancement Areas, based upon the 40.3 percent exception criteria' established by HUD, designated as priority areas for CDBG activities were approved by the City Council on December 15, 2003. They are named: Bolsa-Chita Heil, Goldenwest, Washington, Oakview, Newland, Garfield, Yorktown, and Adams. These eight Enhancement Areas are shown on the following map. Although these are the priority areas, affordable housing is needed citywide. ■ Figure 1 illustrates the Enhancement Areas. ■ Supportive services are available citywide to low and moderate income residents and persons with special needs. 1 Typically, according to CDBG regulations, a census block group with 51.0 percent or more low and moderate income population is considered a low and moderate income area. However, given the City's demographic and income characteristics, the City is considered an exception city, where the low and moderate income threshold is established based on the top 25 percent of census block groups with the highest percentage of low and moderate income population. =2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan H B -9 > Item 20. - 146 OF • 5ukistatiai Amendment No..l=our Housing programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds are available to low and moderate income persons on a citywide basis. ■ Administrative and fair housing services are available on a citywide basis.

Huntington Beach is the longest uninterrupted stretch of beach front on the west coast at 8 miles long and is a destination spot on the west side of Orange County. The following sections present the demographic, housing, and other socioeconomic characteristics of the community. Various data sources were used to compile this community profile, including, but not limited to: ■ 1990 and 2000 Census ■ American Community SurveyZ ■ 2009 Department of Finance Population and Housing Estimates ■ Market data (realtor.com; dgnews.com, etc.) ■ Labor Statistics from the State Employment Development Department Population Growth As shown in Table 3, between 1990 and 2000, the City of Huntington Beach increased in population by approximately four percent. However, between 2000 and 2009, the City experienced a larger amount of growth. Over that nine-year time span, the City population increased by nearly seven percent. Comparatively, the Orange County population increased 18 percent between 1990 and 2000 and ten percent between 2000 and 2009. The population in the cities of Anaheim, Orange, and Santa Ana all experienced more growth during the 1990s than in the last nine years. On the other hand, Irvine and Newport Beach experienced much larger population growth between 2000 and 2009 than during the 1990s. z While the American Community Survey by the Census Bureau is available and can provide some updated information on the community, it is not used as the primary data source in the Consolidated Plan for several reasons: 1) The Census Bureau cautions the use of the American Community Survey (ACS) data collected prior to the 2010 Census data, especially when trying to compare to the 2000 or 1990 Census for trends. The ACS does not ask the same questions as the 1990 or 2000 Census and uses a different methodology to collect the sample. Therefore, comparison with previous censuses would not be accurate. 2) The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data prepared by HUD for the Consolidated Plan is prepared using the 2000 Census. 3) Not all required data for the Consolidated Plan is available in the ACS. As appropriate ACS data is provided in this report as additional reference.

Therefore, the City places a strong emphasis on providing supportive services for the City's youth and senior populations. Household Language and Linguistic Isolation The 2000 Census reports that approximately 17 percent of the residents in Huntington Beach were foreign born. A linguistically isolated household is one in which all members over 14 years of age has some difficulty with English. In Huntington Beach, 7,055 households spoke Spanish (nearly ten percent of all households), of which 19 percent were linguistically isolated (Spanish-speaking only). Of 4,968 households that spoke Asian languages, 27 percent were linguistically isolated. Language barriers may prevent residents from accessing services, information, housing, and may also affect educational attainment and employment. Executive Order 13166 ("Improving Access to Services by Persons with Limited English Proficiency") was issued, in August 2000, which requires federal agencies to assess and address the needs of otherwise eligible persons seeking access to federally conducted programs and activities who, due to Limited English Proficiency (LEP), cannot fully and equally participate in or benefit from those programs and activities. This requirement passes down to grantees of federal funds as well; therefore, the City of Huntington Beach is responsible for ensuring compliance with this regulation. The Community Development Needs Survey was available in English and Spanish and City staff who speaks English and Spanish is always available. Employment and Economic Characteristics According to the State Employment Development Department (EDD) Monthly Labor Force Data, the labor force of Huntington Beach consists of 121,800 residents, with 111,700 being employed (March 2010). The unemployment rate was 8.2 percent in March 2010, lower than the County rate of 10.1 percent. t 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB _921_ Item 20. - 150 OF • Substantial Ara�errtment 1+0. Four As shown in Table 5, the City of Huntington Beach experienced a slight decrease (five percent) in persons employed between the 1990 and 2000 Census. Certain segments of the economy experienced significant losses in employment (such as agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, communication and public utilities, and retail trade). In contrast, employment growth was concentrated in entertainment and recreation services, as well as other professional and related services, each of which increased by over 100 percent. !17165 Percent Change Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries -92.2% Mining 39.8% Construction 7,005 6,067 -13.4% Manufacturing 29,131 15,920 -45.4% Trans.

While the White population experienced the smallest percentage change, they also experienced the largest decrease in number of residents. In 1990, Whites represented almost 80 percent of the City. By 2000, the proportion of White residents decreased by seven percentage points, to 72 percent of the population. In addition, Hispanics increased by more than three percentage points from 1990 to 2000 (Table 7). The largest change of 3,677 percent in the other population can be attributed to the restructuring of Census survey questionnaire between 1990 and 2000. The 2000 Census includes two or more races as a racial category therefore increasing the amount of "other" reported races.

Between 1990 and 2000, the foreign -born population increased from approximately 27,000 to over 32,100 persons. This represents a 19-percent increase in the foreign born population. From 1990 to 2000, Huntington Beach only increased in total population by approximately five percent from 181,519 persons to 189,594 persons. Among foreign -born residents, nearly three quarters emigrated from Asia and Latin America. Areas of Minority Concentration A minority concentration is defined as a census block group with greater than County average of minority population (47.7 percent). A high minority concentration is defined as a block group with double the County average of minority population (95.4 percent).

Therefore, the concentrations of minority populations overlap with the concentration of low and moderate income persons shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 maps the geographic concentrations of non-White population in the City. This map can be compared to Figure 1 to see the relation between minority concentration areas and low and moderate income areas in Huntington Beach. As shown, minority concentrations are found in the Oak View, Newland, and Washington Enhancement areas. In compliance with fair housing regulations, the City does not craft housing policies and programs based on race. Huntington Beach provides housing programs to help meet the needs of low and moderate income households regardless of race. Income Characteristics Household income is an important consideration when evaluating housing and community development needs because limited income typically constrains the ability to afford adequate housing and or other services. According to the 2000 Census, the 1999 median household income for Huntington Beach was $64,824, which was higher than the County median of $58,820. The 2008 U.S. Census American Community Survey estimated that Huntington Beach's 2008 median income was approximately $82,886; Orange County was estimated at approximately $75,176. Table 9 shows the median household income reported by the 2000 Census.' The 2000 Census household income reported for the City of Huntington Beach was $64,824, which was higher than the County and most of the surrounding cities, and lower than Fountain Valley and Newport Beach. Similarly, household income increases in Huntington Beach were among the highest in the region, ahead of only Newport Beach and Seal Beach. The 2000 Census reported household income earned during 1999. ® 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan xB -92 Item 20. - 154 OF • BEACH] icy. Income Distribution For planning purposes, the HUD -developed Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) provides special income data based on the 2000 Census (see Table 10). The household income distribution of a community is provided in relation to the Area Median Income (AMI) for the City of Huntington Beach. For Huntington Beach, the CHAS reported the following household income distribution: eight percent of total households were Extremely Low Income (0-30 percent of AMI), eight percent were Low Income (31-50 percent of AMI), and 14 percent were Moderate Income (51-80 percent of AMI). The remaining 71 percent of total households had incomes Middle/Upper Income (above 80 percent of AMI). Low and Moderate Income Concentrations Use of CDBG funds on public facilities and infrastructure improvements can only occur if those improvements serve primarily low and moderate income persons or populations with special needs. The City's low and moderate income areas are those Census block groups with 40.3 percent or more of the population earning incomes less than 80 percent of the AMI. As shown in Figure 1, the Enhancement Areas (i.e. low and moderate income areas) are located in the Southwestern and northeastern portions of the City, along Highway 39. Their relation to minority concentration areas can be seen in Figure 2.

Basis for Allocating Investments The basis for assigning priority need levels for categories is through evaluation of available information, review and assessment from the various city staff departments involved with the issues, recommendations and subsequent approval by City Council. Furthermore, as discussed in the Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment section, cost burden, severe cost burden, overcrowding, and substandard units affect a large number of extremely low, low and moderate income renter -households. The Priority Needs Summary Table in the Priority Housing Needs section is separated into renter and owner categories. The renter category is further divided into different household categories including small family, large family, and elderly. Priority need levels are listed for extremely low, low and, moderate income households for each of the housing problems identified in the Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of this Consolidated Plan. These housing problems include cost burden and severe cost burden, overcrowding, and substandard units. The Priority Needs identified in the City's 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan will be the basis for allocating investments geographically within the City during the five-year period. These priorities are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation meeting developed under the Citizen Participation process. The established priorities are: Priority Housing Needs ■ Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single -Family and Multi -Family Dwelling Units ■ Assist Low and Moderate Income Households in Securing Affordable Homeownership Opportunities ■ Improve and Preserve Neighborhood Conditions ■ Promote Equal Housing Opportunity ■ Expand and Preserve Affordable Housing Opportunities Priority Homeless Needs ■ Provide Assistance to the Homeless and Persons At -Risk of Becoming Homeless Priority Community Development Needs ■ Provide and Improve Community Services for Low and Moderate Income Persons and Those with Non -Homeless Special Needs. ■ Improve and Expand Community Facilities and Infrastructure to Meet Current and Future Needs. ■ Provide for Necessary Planning and Administration Activities to Address the Housing and Community Development Needs in the City. ■ Promote Economic Development and Employment Opportunities for Low and Moderate Income Households. Activities assigned with a High or Medium Priority level will receive funding during the 2010-2014 planning period. Approximately 15 percent of CDBG funds each year will be used for public services for the low to moderate income clientele benefit; 20 percent of funds will be used for planning and administration costs; and 65 percent of funds will be used for various facility improvements, infrastructure improvements, and blight removal projects to benefit low to moderate income areas. « 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -927- Item 20. - 156 OF • BEACH] Sbst�l"taetert 1=oar... Objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD provide the foundation for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be allocated. The following are the objectives that guide the allocation of investments in Huntington Beach: ■ Enhance suitable living environments; ■ Create decent and affordable housing; and ■ Promote economic opportunities, especially for low and moderate income households. Projects are required to meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at least one of the following: ■ Availability/Accessibility; ■ Affordability; and ■ Sustainability (Promoting Livable or Viable Communities) Table 11 outlines how the objectives are related to the performance outcomes used to measure specific annual objectives. Appendix B includes the Specific Annual Objectives Table. 3. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Need Many of the obstacles to increasing the number of affordable housing units in Huntington Beach are discussed in the Housing Market Analysis. These obstacles include land use and zoning regulations, development fees, and state and federal legislation. The most significant obstacle to meeting underserved housing needs is the lack of sufficient funds and lack of available vacant land. This is true for any governmental agency or non-profit developer trying to assist low income families. Moreover, as the disparity between wages and housing costs increases, the number of persons unable to maintain their own housing costs increases. In light of the current economic conditions, the number of persons needing assistance has also increased. However, entitlement allocations have fluctuated year from year, mostly declining in recent years. Although the FY 2010 allocations show an increase in CDBG funds, HOME funds have been reduced. CDBG and HOME funds will focus on the following activities: ■ Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): The primary objective of this program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, Five -Year Strategic Plan — Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 Item 20. - 157 HB -9-18- [CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH] principally for persons of low and moderate income. CDBG funds are relatively flexible and can be used for a wide range of activities, including housing rehabilitation, lead -based paint detection and removal, acquisition of land and buildings, construction or rehabilitation of public facilities and infrastructure, removal of architectural barriers, public services, rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings, and loans or grants for businesses. HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME): The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental and ownership housing for low and moderate income households. The program gives local governments the flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. HOME funds can be used for activities that promote affordable rental housing and homeownership by low and moderate income households, including building acquisition, new construction and reconstruction, moderate or substantial rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, and tenant -based rental assistance. Strict requirements govern the use of HOME funds. Two major requirements are that the funds must be: (1) used for activities that target low and moderate income families and (2) matched 25 percent by non-federal funding sources. HUD allocates CDBG and HOME funding to eligible jurisdictions on a formula basis, using factors such as population, income distribution, and poverty rates. For 2010, the City's Consolidated Plan funding allocations were: ■ CDBG - $1,481,423 ■ HOME - $822,743 Total allocation from the Consolidated Plan programs for the 2010-2014 period is estimated at approximately $2.3 million per year. To supplement federal CDBG and HOME funds, the City will use redevelopment set -aside funds to provide affordable housing opportunities and rehabilitation assistance to low and moderate income households. However, Huntington Beach, along with all California jurisdictions with redevelopment agencies, is impacted by the loss in redevelopment funds through: Decreased property values and declined economic activities have meant that tax increment revenues are trailing projections. On May 4, 2010, the California Superior Court upheld AB 26, allowing the State to take $2.05 billion in redevelopment revenues from redevelopment agencies. The funds would be deposited into the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (SERAF), which would be distributed to schools to meet the State's Proposition 98 obligations to education. On May 10, 2010, as required by AB 26, the City of Huntington Beach sent $5,380,000 in tax increment revenue to the State. The City will be required to make a second payment to SERAF in the amount of $1,107,000 in 2011 if the California Redevelopment Association's appeal of the court decision is unsuccessful. In the event that the appeal is unsuccessful, the City may not be able to leverage CDBG- and HOME -funded activities as presented in this Consolidated Plan. The City will continue to pursue additional funding to support the underserved populations. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -929- Item 20. - 158 OF • ubs antia'l riendrneht No. Foul ngnlg the Oil:ess.2it'; 1.

Community Development Needs Survey: The City of Huntington Beach conducted a Community Development Needs Survey. The City presented hard copies of the survey to residents at the Community Meetings and additional surveys were sent to the organizations in Appendix A. The survey was also distributed at the Senior Center during events and gatherings starting in January 2010. The February edition of the Senior Services publication, The Bright Outlook (with a distribution of 2000) contained information on the survey and a copy for subscribers to complete. Some organizations took the initiative in helping the City distribute the survey to residents. A total of 148 hard copies of the survey were received. In addition to hard copies, the survey was also made available online through the city's website and publicized via a public notice for all public meetings as well as highlighted at each CPAB meeting during the process. The Community Services Department also highlighted the survey via their meetings. The City of Huntington Beach Community Services Department provided information on the Consolidated Plan to the Huntington Beach Council on Aging, the Project Self -Sufficiency Foundation and the Oak View Collaborative. In addition, information regarding the Consolidated Plan Survey was placed in the Huntington Beach Bright Outlook, the Project Self - Sufficiency Newsletter and by providing information in English and Spanish at the Oak View Family Resource Center. A total of 158 surveys were completed online for a total of 306 completed surveys. Respondents were asked to rank the list of needs under the following categories: ■ Community Facilities ■ Community Services ■ Infrastructure Improvements • Neighborhood Services • Special Needs Services ■ Economic Development ■ Housing These needs categories were further divided into specific topics, such as "community centers" (from the Community Facilities category), "street/alley improvements" (from the Infrastructure category), and "senior services and activities" (from the Community Services category). For each category, the respondent was asked to indicate unmet needs that warrant expenditures of public funds by ranking the relative importance of the need. The hard copy surveys responses and internet survey responses demonstrate differences based on the populations that took the surveys. Hard copy surveys were distributed at community meetings attended by local service organizations and distributed through the organization to the populations they serve.

The institutional structure was modified in 2004. The City's Economic Development Department is the primary City department responsible for the implementation of the Consolidated Plan. Staff implements the Consolidated Plan activities through the following departments: Economic Development Department (Office of Business Development as of FY 2013-14) ■ Business Development Division - Oversees job Creation, Business Retention, Business Attraction. ■ Redevelopment Division - Administers redevelopment activities in the Redevelopment Project Areas. • Housing Division - Recommends housing projects to City Council, conducts the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program, acquisition, works with the City's Planning Department on Affordable Housing requirements for new construction. Planning Department • Planning - Oversees General Plan and zoning that regulate development within the City. • Code Enforcement - Provides special code enforcement in the Enhancement Areas and provides information to owners regarding the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program.

Funds are provides on a competitive basis through the CDBG 15 percent allowable for public services. Finance Department: • Finance Department — Works closely with the Economic Development Department and other city departments that utilize CDBG funds to ensure timely expenditure of funding and accurate accounting of the funds received and expended. Citizen Participation Advisory Board The mission of the Citizen Participation Advisory Board is to submit recommendations to City Council on allocations for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The CPAB strives to represent the diverse views on the socioeconomic issues related to low and moderate income individuals. To that end, low income residents and members of minority groups are encouraged to apply to the City for appointment to the CPAB when vacancies arise, so that members of minority groups can be substantially represented. Along with staff, the Board shall assess the needs of the community, particularly that of low and moderate income households, evaluate and prioritize projects pertaining to the required plans and provide recommendations to City Council on such plans and projects. Nonprofit Organizations In addition, the City works with a number of nonprofit organizations to provide affordable housing and supportive services. These include, but not limited to: ■ Alzheimer's Family Services Center • American Family Housing ■ Collette's Children Home ■ Community Care Health Centers • Community SeniorSery ■ Fair Housing Council of Orange County • Interval Housing • Jamboree Housing 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -c) ;c)- Item 20. - 168 OF • - Subs#antralenment No Four 2. Strengths and Gaps in Delivery The housing delivery system in Huntington Beach continues to provide opportunities for increases to the housing inventory. Between 2000 and 2009, approximately 2,370 units were constructed in the City. This three -percent growth was due primarily to the limited availability of vacant land in the City and high housing development costs. To compensate for the gap in new construction of housing, the City provides affordable housing opportunities to existing and new residents through other housing programs, such as rental assistance, rehabilitation loans, and first- time homebuyer assistance. The limited availability of public funding sources represents another major gap in the housing delivery system. Providing affordable housing to Huntington Beach's lower income households generally requires some form of government subsidy, necessitating a close working relationship between the public and private sectors. 3. Strengths and Gaps in Public Housing Delivery There is no public housing in Huntington Beach. 1. Describe the standards and procedures the jurisdiction will use to monitor its housing and community development projects and ensure long-term compliance with program requirements and comprehensive planning requirements. Flueer Strategican 3ot:rtng tnr r.,pp_ ..... : 1. Monitoring Monitoring should be directed toward programmatic, financial and regulatory performance. Primary objectives are (1) to ensure that subrecipients/CHDOs comply with all pertinent regulations governing their administrative, financial and programmatic operations; (2) to ensure subrecipients/CHDOs achieve their performance objectives within their program year and budget; and (3) to assess capabilities and/or any potential needs for training or technical assistance in these areas. All Projects and Programs Evaluation of housing and public service delivery systems is the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. The on -site monitoring program has been designed to provide the City with information to verify the data provided by the subrecipients in the quarterly performance reports submitted to the City, ensure that the subrecipients are carrying out their individual activities as described in their contracts and applications for CDBG assistance, and ensure that appropriate accounting and record keeping methods are being used by the subrecipients as related to the use of CDBG funds. Subrecipients either attend a "Subrecipient Training Meeting," or meet with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Administrator prior to the commencement of the CDBG program year. The purpose of the meeting is to: 1) provide an overview of the CDBG program — goals, objectives, Council action on funding, and subrecipient obligations; 2) review Five -Year Strategic Plan — Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 ' Item 20. - 169 HB -9rtU- Substana�l mend�rent idc�:eur OF • the content of the subrecipient agreements; and 3) review regulations related to the CDBG program which impact the subrecipients in the implementation of their programs. The City conducts formal on -site visits with subrecipients annually. Staff utilizes a standardized monitoring checklist during each on -site visit, which identifies specific items to be reviewed during the visit. Staff prepares a monitoring schedule in the first quarter of each program year, to ensure each subrecipient is contacted for an annual monitoring visit. For the monitoring process, the following steps are observed: 1) Contact subrecipient to schedule and on -site monitoring visit; 2) initially meet with appropriate subrecipient officials to discuss subrecipient's program and the scope of the site visit; 3) review documents such as intake applications to ensure that income, household size, ethnicity data, etc. are retrieved, and tour the facility; 4) conduct an exit conference and obtain clarification on matters (if necessary) and discuss outstanding performance issues; 5) provide feedback to subrecipient (i.e. letter) and include deadline for responding to, or correcting, and deficiencies identified during the visit; 6) keep monitoring documentation in project files for each subrecipient. 1. Describe the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs. ; 2. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs.' 1. Basis for Assigning Priority The City conducted a Community Development Needs Assessment to identify community development needs. The Community Development Needs Assessment is one of the methods by which the City determined priority community development needs for the next five years. Other methods used to establish priorities included demographic and empirical data analysis, interviews with staff and service providers, direct input by residents and stakeholders during public meetings, and compliance requirements for the CDBG and HOME regulations. After reviewing the data the City established a scale of priority needs: ■ High -priority activities are to be funded by the City during the five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan. However, high -priority activities are not guaranteed funding every year. ■ Medium -priority activities will be addressed as funds are available in the five-year period and the City will take actions to help these groups locate other sources of funds. ■ The City will not directly fund low -priority need activities but other entities applications for federal assistance might be supported and found to be consistent with this Plan. The City has also found that there are some activities with no need or that have already been substantially addressed. =2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -941- Item 20. - 170 OF • BEACH] �ntia[ iedrnet Noon 2. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs Many of the obstacles to increasing the number of affordable housing units in Huntington Beach are discussed in the Housing Market Analysis. These obstacles include land -use and zoning regulations, development fees, and state and federal legislation. The most significant obstacle to meeting underserved housing needs is the lack of sufficient funds and lack of available vacant land. This is true for any governmental agency or non-profit developer trying to assist low-income families. Moreover, as the disparity between wages and housing costs increases, the number of persons unable to maintain their own housing costs increases. In light of the current economic conditions, the number of persons needing assistance has also increased. However, entitlement allocations have fluctuated year from year, mostly declining in recent years. Although the FY 2010 allocations show an increase in CDBG funds, HOME funds have been reduced. :L�iw SQ,a11Cit'1l�ii i ,��\�°'IS 1. Lead Based Paint Hazards The age of housing stock is the key variable in estimating the number of housing units with potential lead -based paint (LBP) hazard - the use of all lead -based paint on residential property was prohibited starting in 1978. Based on the national average, 75 percent of all residential properties built prior to 1978 contain lead - based paint. Approximately 74 percent (57,907 units) of Huntington Beach's housing stock was built prior to 1979. Using the national average, approximately 36,914 housing units in Huntington Beach may contain LBP. Table 13 presents estimates of housing units with potential LBP using Census data. Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 s Item 20. - 171 HB -942- ubstara 0 t "I : Fflur OF • The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data developed by HUD further indicates that approximately 9,010 low and moderate income households in Huntington Beach occupied housing units built prior to 1970 (84 percent renters and 16 percent owners). These units likely contain lead -based paint. 2. Actions to Evaluate and Reduce Lead -Based Paint Hazards The lead poison program is administered through the County of Orange Department of Health Services (DHS) - Epidemiology Division. DHS receives most of its referrals from the State Child Health Disability Program (CHDP) and from public health clinics for children. The CHDP Program requires that all physicians receiving funding from the program test all children less than five years of age for lead poisoning. This is accomplished by working with the Head Start, kindergarten, and state pre-schools. If lead poisoning is discovered, the case is turned over to DHS, who will follow up and determine proper treatment. For children with a blood lead level of 20 ug/dL or higher, the DHS sends a specialist for a home visit to evaluate the premise, educate the parents how to eliminate the lead sources, provide information on nutrition and prevention of lead poisoning, and urge other children on the premise to be tested for lead. Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program To meet the federal requirements, Huntington Beach provides lead -based paint information with each Rehabilitation Loan application packet. When it is discovered that lead -based paint is present, the owner of the property contracts for the lead - based paint removal. The cost of lead -based paint removal is an eligible activity under the Rehabilitation Loan Program. There are two types of loans: Single Family Home Improvement Loans and Multifamily Rental Housing Rehab Loans. For Single Family Home Improvement Loans, the City will lend up to $25,000 to pay for rehabilitation costs for a single- family home and up to $15,000 for a mobile home, townhouse, or condominium. For the Multifamily Rental Housing Rehab Loans, an apartment building with seven or fewer units in which all of the residents are low income may qualify for a Multifamily Rental Housing Rehab Loan. The City provides 15-year loans of up to $15,000 per unit with an interest rate two percent below market.

Housing Needs The CHAS provides detailed information on housing needs by income level for different types of households. CHAS information indicates that housing problems include: ■ Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); ■ Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); ■ Housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 30 percent of gross income; and/or ■ Severe housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 50 percent of gross income. These types of problems vary according to household income, type, and tenure. Appendix B of this Consolidated Plan includes the Housing Needs Table, which presents data on the number of households with housing assistance needs. Priorities were established for housing needs based in part on this housing needs assessment. Housing Needs by Household Income Household income is an important consideration when evaluating housing and community development needs because limited income typically constrains the ability to afford adequate housing or other services. The 2000 Census reported that the median household income in Huntington Beach was $64,824, slightly higher than the Orange County median income of $58,820, Household income distribution of a community is often provided in relation to the surrounding Area Median Income (AMI). Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 = Item 20. - 173 HB -944- ubstanbal Arn'ndmnt Rio dour OF HUNTINGTON For planning purposes, the CHAS provides special income data based on the 2000 Census, where household income in a community is calculated in relation to the area, or county, Area Median Income (AMI). For Huntington Beach, the CHAS reported the following household income distribution for the year 2000:5 ■ 8 percent were extremely low income (0-30 percent of AMI) ■ 8 percent were low income (31-50 percent of AMI) ■ 14 percent were moderate income (51-80 percent of AMI) ■ 70 percent had incomes above 80 percent of AMI The following section summarizes housing needs for different types of households in Huntington Beach by income level. The Housing Needs Table that contains the statistics discussed below is included in Appendix B. Extremely Low Income (Households with incomes up to 30 percent of AMI) In Huntington Beach, 5,612 households (eight percent of total households) earned less than 30 percent of the County's median income. Of these, 80 percent experienced housing problems. Both renter- and owner -households experienced similar levels of housing problems in this income category (82 percent of renters compared with 78 percent of owners). Cost burden was the most common housing problem for all types of households. Overall, 79 percent of extremely low income households experienced cost burden (spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing). Severe cost burden (spending more than 50 percent of a household's income on housing) was experienced by 68 percent of all extremely low income households. Certain household types experienced a greater degree of housing problems and cost burden. Small and large households had higher levels of housing problems for renters. Among renter -households, 89 percent of small households and 100 percent of large households experienced housing problems compared to 82 percent of all extremely low income households. Among owner -households, 79 percent of small households and 78 percent of other households experienced housing problems. Large renter -households experienced the highest level of cost burden (100 percent) compared to 80 percent for all extremely low income households. Severe cost burden was prevalent among small renter -households (80 percent compared to 68 percent of all extremely low income households). Low Income (Households with incomes from 30 to 50 percent of AMI) In Huntington Beach, 5,948 households (or eight percent of all households) earned between 30 and 50 percent of the County's median income. Of these, 77 percent experienced housing problems. A significantly higher proportion of renter - households (91 percent) experienced housing problems compared with owner - households (59 percent) in this income category; cost burden was the most common housing problem for most households. Overall, 74 percent of low income households experienced cost burden and 43 percent of low income households experienced severe cost burden. 5 Federal income definitions are different from State income definitions. For the City's General Plan and Redevelopment Implementation Plans, the City is required to use State income definitions: very low income (50 percent of AMI); low income (80 percent of AMI); moderate income (120 percent of AMI); and above moderate income (greater than 120 percent AMI). em 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -945- Item 20. - 174 • • = Substantial Amendm'e4-"No oU Certain low income household types experienced a greater degree of housing problems and cost burden. Among renter -households, large households had the highest level of housing problems. Nearly all large renter -households experienced housing problems (99 percent) compared to 77 percent of all low income households. Small and Other owner -households experienced the greatest housing problems (81 percent and 84 percent, respectively). Other renter -households and other owner -households experienced the highest levels of cost burden (94 percent and 84 percent, respectively) compared to 74 percent for all low income households. Severe cost burden was most prevalent among small owner -households (67 percent) compared with 43 percent for all low income households. Moderate Income (Households with incomes between 50 and 80 percent of AMI) In Huntington Beach, 10,003 households (14 percent of all households) earned between 50 percent and 80 percent of the County's median income in 2000. Of these, 65 percent experienced housing problems. A higher proportion of renter - households experienced housing problems (75 percent) compared with owner - households (54 percent). Overall, 57 percent of moderate income households experienced cost burden and 13 percent experienced severe cost burden. Large renter -households experienced a greater degree of housing problems with 90 percent, compared to 65 percent of all moderate income households. However, only 35 percent of the large renter -households had a cost burden, suggesting the majority of the large renter -households with housing problems were experiencing overcrowding and substandard housing conditions. This is typical when rental housing affordable to large households is limited and most households had to reside in smaller units. Large owner -households had the highest levels of cost burden; 77 percent of all moderate income large owner -households experienced a cost burden, compared to 57 percent for all moderate income households. Severe cost burden was most prevalent among small and other owner -households (31 and 42 percent, respectively, compared with 13 percent for all moderate income households). Housing Needs by Tenure The tenure distribution (owner versus renter) of a community's housing stock influences several aspects of the local housing market. Residential stability is influenced by tenure, with ownership housing much less likely to turn over than rental units. Housing cost burden, while faced by many households regardless of tenure, is typically more prevalent among lower income renters. The ability or choice to own or rent a home is primarily related to household income, composition, and age of the householder. As summarized in the Housing Needs by Household Income section above, many housing problems, including cost burden, are experienced differently by households depending on tenure. More than half (61 percent) of Huntington Beach households own their homes. However, renters are more likely earn low or moderate incomes, have housing problems, and experience housing cost burden, as indicated in Table 14.

Four. , , OF • Housing Needs by Household Type Some population groups are identified as having a need for special housing assistance or alternative types of housing. These groups include: the elderly/frail elderly; persons with disabilities (including those with HIV/AIDS); large families; single parents/female-headed households; victims of domestic violence; persons with substance abuse problems; and young people aging out of the foster system. These special need populations have difficulty finding appropriate housing to meet their needs due to economic, social, mental, or physical conditions. Elderly and Frail Elderly With limited incomes, many elderly and frail elderly persons spend a high percentage of their income on housing, medical care, and personal care. Housing assistance can help relieve the financial burden for elderly persons. The elderly population comprised about 13 percent (24,143 persons) of the population according to the 2000 Census. For many federal programs, elderly is defined as 62 years or older, while frail elderly is an elderly person who is 62 years or older and unable to perform at least three activities of daily living. Examples of daily living activities include, but are not limited to eating, bathing, grooming, and household management activities. However, much of the data available delineates age groups in five-year cohorts. The 2000 Census also reports that 1,414 residents over the age of 65 reported a self - care disability. It can be assumed that the frail elderly population is at least 1,414. The housing needs of the elderly include supportive housing, such as intermediate care facilities, group homes, and other housing that may include a planned service component. Needed services related to elderly households include: personal care, health care, housekeeping, meal preparation, personal emergency response, and transportation. According to the CHAS data, 13,666 elderly households were residing in Huntington Beach, the majority of which were homeowners (82 percent). Among the elderly homeowners, 33 percent were paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing and 16 percent were paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Overpayment (paying more than 30 percent of income for housing) is a more prevalent issue among renters as 58 percent of the elderly renter -households in Huntington Beach were overpaying for housing, including 35 percent paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan 11 B -94 7 - Item 20. - 176 OF • BEACH] Substantial Amendment No Four In addition to being on fixed incomes and overpaying for housing, 35 percent of the Huntington Beach elderly residents also reported a disability. Of the elderly residents in the City, 3,130 or 16 percent specifically reported a mobility or go - outside -the -home disability and 1,414 or seven percent also reported a self -care limitation. A person with a mobility or self -care limitation is defined as having: 1) a long lasting condition that substantially limits one or more basic physical activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying; and/or 2) a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting more than six months that creates difficulty with dressing, bathing, or getting around inside the home. According to the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, there are 54 residential care facilities for the elderly located in Huntington Beach, with facility size ranging from five beds to 142 beds and a total capacity of 696 beds. There is also one adult day care in the City with a capacity of 40 persons. In addition, a number of senior apartments are located in Huntington Beach, including: Bowen Court (20 very low income affordable units for seniors) The Fountains at Huntington Beach (80 very low and low income affordable units for seniors) Currently, there a new senior center is under development in Huntington Beach, as well as two functioning senior service centers. The Rodger Senior Center in Huntington Beach serves as a recreation center for active adults. The center provides an array of programs and services important to the quality of life for seniors in the community. The Center provides daily hot lunches (Monday through Friday), as well as health, legal, financial and utility assistance services. Additionally, the center provides recreational and social activities and clubs. The Senior Outreach Center is also located in Huntington Beach and provides services that assist elders in the City with their physical, emotional and nutritional needs through professionally trained staff and volunteers. The Outreach Center focuses on programs and services for frail or homebound seniors to promote safety, self-sufficiency and independence. Persons with Disabilities According to the Bureau of the Census, he or she has difficulty performing walking, climbing stairs, and lifting or roles (doing school work for children or is unable to perform one or more suc around, or who needs assistance from considered to have a severe disability. a person is considered to have a disability if certain functions (seeing, hearing, talking, carrying), or has difficulty with certain social working at a job for adults). A person, who :h activities, uses an assistive device to get another person to perform basic activities, is Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 Item 20. - 177 HB -Q48- = ubstar a A pnidrnent Na, • • The 2000 Census data reported 25,127 people in Huntington Beach with a disability, representing 14 percent of the population. Table 15 illustrates the disabilities tallied in the 2000 Census. An individual can report more than one disability; thus the numbers of disabilities tallied are higher than the total count of disabled persons. As shown, most disabled residents were affected by employment disabilities (28 percent), followed by physical disabilities at 23 percent. Affordability, design, location, and discrimination significantly limit the supply of housing available to persons with disabilities. Most homes are inaccessible to people with mobility and sensory limitations. There is a need for housing with widened doorways and hallways, access ramps, larger bedrooms, lowered countertops, and other features necessary for accessibility. Location of housing is also an important factor as many persons with disabilities often rely on public transportation. The CHAS data estimated 8,957 households in Huntington Beach as having members with a mobility or self -care limitation. Low to moderate income households comprised 28 percent of these "disabled" households. While 41 percent of all disabled households reported having any housing problem in Huntington Beach, disabled renters were more impacted (59 percent) than owners (32 percent). Elderly persons 75 years of age and over, who are disabled and renters, were the most impacted of all disabled households in Huntington Beach — 78 percent of these households had one or more housing problems (e.g. overpayment and inadequate housing conditions). Group housing, shared housing, and other supportive housing options can help meet the needs of persons with disabilities. These housing options often have the advantage of social service support on -site or readily available. Disabilities can also hinder the ability of a person to earn adequate income. The Census estimated that 70 percent of all people with severe disabilities were unemployed and relied on fixed monthly disability incomes that are rarely adequate for the payment of market -rate rent. Review of the California Community Care Licensing Division inventory of community care facilities identifies two adult residential facilities in Huntington Beach that provide 24-hour non -medical care for adults ages 18-59 who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. These two facilities provide capacity for 10 adults. In 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -949- Item 20. - 178 OF • = SubstantiI Arnendtnent No: Four ,. addition, the City has 54 residential care homes for the elderly, providing 696 beds for seniors age 60+ requiring 24-hour assisted living. Physically Disabled According to the 2000 Census, 9,810 people over the age of five in Huntington Beach had physical disabilities. The majority of the supportive services and housing assistance for physically disabled persons are provided through non-profit organizations located throughout an extensive network in Orange County, not necessarily Huntington Beach. These organizations and services include but are not limited to: ■ Crippled Children's Society of Orange County ■ Regional Center of Orange County ■ The American Red Cross ■ California Relay Service ■ The Dayle McIntosh Center ■ California Department of Rehabilitation Mentally Disabled According to the 2000 Census, 5,601 people over the age of five in Huntington Beach had mental disabilities. Region -wide, facilities for the mentally disabled include hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, counseling centers, treatment centers, socialization centers, residential facilities for children, crisis centers, and adolescent and adult day treatment offices. Supportive services and housing assistance for the mentally disabled are provided through non-profit organizations. Providers in the City include: ■ Science Enrichment Service ■ No Ordinary Moments Inc. ■ Alzheimer's Family Services Center ■ Mental Health Association of Orange County Severely Mentally 111 Severe mental illness includes the diagnosis of psychoses and major schizoaffective disorders and qualifies as chronic if it lasts at least one year. National estimates indicate that approximately one percent of the adult population meets the definition of severe mental illness based on diagnosis, duration, and disability. Applying these figures would result in 2,025 severely mentally ill persons in Huntington Beach (based on 2009 population). Orange County Adult Mental Health Service (AMHS) provides recovery mental health services and episodic treatment services which emphasize individual needs, strengths, choices and involvement in service planning and implementation. The AMHS is responsible for oversight, planning and program development for the public mental health adult system of care for Orange County. The public system is responsible for providing the services for County residents who are experiencing a mental health crisis or who have, as a primary diagnosis, persistent, severe mental illness. Services are provided through direct, County -operated services and through contracts with organizational providers and individual fee -for -service providers. Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 Item 20. - 179 HB -950- ufsfaritral Arnendm6n'f l OF • Developmentally Disabled The federal definition of developmental disability is a severe chronic disability caused by physical or mental impairment that is evident before age 22. According to the ARC of United States (formerly the Association of Retarded Citizens), approximately one to three percent of the population is affected by developmental disabilities. Applying this average rate to Huntington Beach's 2009 population, an estimated 2,025 to 6,074 people in the City may be developmentally disabled. Other supportive services and housing assistance for developmentally disabled persons in the City are provided through non-profit organizations located throughout Orange County, including the following: • Project Independence • The American Red Cross • Regional Center of Orange County Additionally the Regional Center of Orange County serves as a focal point in the community through which a person with a developmental or physical disability and families can obtain services and be linked to other community resources. Large Households/Families Large households, defined as households with five or more members, usually require units with three or more bedrooms and pay a larger percentage of monthly income for housing. They often have lower incomes relative to the household size and frequently live in overcrowded units. According to the CHAS data, 6,795 (nine percent) of Huntington Beach's households were large families. Of those, 3,812 (56 percent) were owner -households and 2,983 (44 percent) were renter -households. Approximately 27 percent (1,805) of these large families were low to moderate income households. The 2000 Census reported 67,079 housing units with three or more bedrooms (66 percent owner-occupied/34 percent renter -occupied). Numerically, there were a sufficient number of large homes to accommodate the large households. However, the problem related primarily to mismatches between housing needs and affordability. In Huntington Beach, 75 percent of the large renter -households reported having one or more housing problems, including 35 percent indicated paying more than 30 percent of their income for rent. The remaining 40 percent of the renter -households with housing problems were impacted by overcrowding and substandard housing conditions alone. In comparison, 36 percent of the large owner -households reported having one or more housing problems, with the majority (28 percent) of the large owner -households indicating they pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Overcrowding is generally defined by HUD as a household with more than one person per room, while severe overcrowding is defined as a household with more than 1.5 persons per room. According 2000 Census, six percent of Huntington Beach households were overcrowded. There were 1,000 owner -households considered to be overcrowded, including 271 that were severely overcrowded. In contrast, there were 3,752 renter -households considered to be overcrowded, including 2,244 that • 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -Q-51- Item 20. - 180 t OF • BEACH] dour . '. were severely overcrowded. Thus, overcrowding and severe overcrowding conditions impacted renters more than owners Single Parents and Female -Headed Households Single parents comprise a significant portion of lower income households "in need." Single -parent households often require special consideration and assistance because they tend to have lower incomes and a greater need for day care, health care, and proximity to related facilities. The 2000 Census data indicate that 5,117 (11 percent) of Huntington Beach's total families were headed by single parents. Of these families, 1,513 (30 percent) were headed by males and 3,604 (70 percent) by females. Of the single -parent female householders (with no husband present and children under 18 years of age), 676 (19 percent) were living below the poverty level, compared to 199 (13 percent) male householders with no wife present and children under 18. Thus, female -headed families were disproportionately impacted by poverty than male -headed families. Victims of Domestic Violence Many single women and women with children become homeless as the result of domestic violence. Homeless women, therefore, often require additional counseling to work through psychological impairment from physical abuse to transition into the mainstream. Approximately half of all homeless women are believed to be domestic violence victims, based on self -reporting and observations of program staff. Women fleeing abuse and other threats to life at home have difficulty finding refuge in public shelters that serve the general homeless population. According to the national Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2009, one out of every four women is a victim of domestic violence at least once in her lifetime. In addition, domestic violence is the leading cause of injury for women ages 15 to 44. There are four domestic violence shelters in Orange County that service Huntington Beach residents. Three are primary shelters and one is a secondary or extended stay shelter. The shelters provide a temporary "safe haven" for the victims of domestic violence and their children. Each resident is provided with food, counseling, legal assistance, educational opportunities, resource referrals, childcare, and classes on consumer education, child rearing, and empowerment. The residents learn to plan and execute personal goals that will benefit their future needs and objectives. The maximum stay at each shelter is 45 days but those assessed as needing long term residence may be transferred to a "Second Step" Resident Phase. This phase provides a longer resident period in which a client or victim may continue her education or work assignments in a safe and independent environment. The 2009 Biennial Report by the Orange County District Attorney's Office reports that approximately 400 domestic violence cases are investigated per year by their office, however misdemeanor cases for the county number in the thousands. Most homeless shelters cannot function as a "safe house" without a confidential location so the City of Huntington Beach and Orange County provide for locations and organizations specifically for victims of domestic violence who need medical care, counseling, and/or legal/law enforcement assistance.

The National Institute of Alcohol abuse and Alcoholism estimates the number of men with a drinking problem at 14 to 16 percent of the adult male population and the number of women at six percent of the adult female population. Applying these rates to Huntington Beach indicates that between 10,247 and 11,710 men and 4,453 women may face substance abuse problems. Services available to Huntington Beach residents include: • Orange County Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centers - Outpatient, Short Term and Long Term Residential for a mix of mental health and substance abuse services. ■ Heritage House Centers Outpatient - Outpatient alcohol and drug treatment services • Seacliff Recovery Center - Substance abuse treatment, detoxification, and use of Buprenorphine in treatments through Hospital Inpatient, Short Term and Long Term Residential services. • Hired Power Personal Recovery Assistants - Work one-on-one with clients to overcome addictive behaviors through outpatient services. • Connor Ranch - Alcohol, Detox, Recovery, Residential drug rehab center. Foster Children According to the County Self -Assessment Report from 2009 for Orange County, the County's total population is 3,089,707 persons. Of this, 2,992 were children under the age of 18 in foster care as of July 2008. Applying this ratio to Huntington Beach in July 2008, approximately 196 children of Huntington Beach's total population of 201,993 might be in foster care. Persons with the HIV Infection and with AIDS The National Commission on AIDS estimates that approximately one-third to one- half of all people infected with HIV who have developed AIDS are either homeless or are in imminent danger of becoming homeless. According to the County's Health Care Agency HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Unit, there have been 7,379 cumulative adult AIDS cases recorded in Huntington Beach through December 31, 2008. Specifically, in 2008, 176 Huntington Beach residents were diagnosed with AIDS and 113 Huntington Beach Residents were diagnosed with HIV. New drugs, better treatment, and preventative education have reduced the number of fatalities. Stable housing is an integral part of HIV/AIDS treatment. Persons with HIV/AIDS live longer today and require longer provision of services. Increased number of housing units must now be provided for people who are healthier and living longer, not just those who are severely ill and dying. Studies have proven that stable housing for people with HIV/AIDS reduces costly hospitalizations, allows for successful compliance with medical and medication regimens, and allows residents to address other priority issues such as mental health and substance addictions.

Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers The Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) administers Huntington Beach's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. Section 8 is a rent subsidy program that helps low income (up to 50 percent AMI)6 families and seniors pay rents in private units. Section 8 tenants pay 30 percent of their income for rent and the Housing Authority pays the difference up to the payment standard (fair market rent) established by the Housing Authority. Any amount in excess of the payment standard is paid by the program participant. According to the Orange County Housing Authority, 915 Huntington Beach households were receiving Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers as of March, 2010. Of the households that currently receive Section 8 Vouchers, approximately 40 percent were elderly households, 23 percent were disabled households, and 37 percent were individual/family households (Table 16). As of April 2010, 336 Huntington Beach households were on the waiting list for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Of these 336 households, 170 were individual/family households (51 percent), 77 were elderly households (23 percent), 61 were disabled households (18 percent), and 28 were elderly and disabled (eight percent) (Table 16). From these percentages, the greatest need for Housing Choice Vouchers is among individual/family households in Huntington Beach. Lastly, the amount of time spent on the waiting list often varies and can be as long as several years. The waiting list does not include special admissions. 6 The Housing Choice Voucher Program refers to households with incomes below 50 percent of the AMI as "very low-income." For consistency throughout this Consolidated Plan document, households qualifying for Housing Choice Vouchers (incomes <50 percent AMI) are referred to as low-income households. Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 ° Item 20. - 183 HB -954- bstant� l Aa ndrn r No:, u • • - Cost Burden State and federal standards specify that households spending more than 30 percent of gross annual income on housing costs are experiencing a housing cost burden. Households spending more than 50 percent of gross annual income on housing costs are experiencing a severe housing cost burden. Housing cost burdens occur when housing costs increase faster than household income. When a household spends more than 30 percent of its income on housing costs, it has less disposable income for other necessities such as health care, food, child care, etc. In the event of unexpected circumstances such as loss of employment or health problems, lower and moderate income households with a burdensome housing cost are more likely to become homeless. Table 17 shows the connection between income, household type, and cost burden. The proportion of households experiencing cost burden decline significantly as income increases. Overall cost burden is more prevalent among renter -households in all income categories. In particular, higher proportions of extremely low and low income elderly renters (79 percent and 73 percent, respectively) and extremely low income large family renter -households (96 percent) had cost burden compared with households citywide (32 percent with cost burden). A lower proportion of extremely low income households experience housing cost burden as compared to low income renters. This is likely due to a higher proportion of extremely low income households doubling up or receiving rent subsidies, compared to low income households. Overcrowding An overcrowded housing unit is defined as a unit with more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches. Severe overcrowding is described as households with more than 1.5 persons per room. Unit overcrowding typically results from the combined effect of low earnings and high housing costs in a community, and reflects the inability of households to buy or rent housing that provides a reasonable level of privacy and space. Overcrowding also tends to result in accelerated deterioration of homes and infrastructure and crowded on -street parking conditions. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HH _1);;- Item 20. - 184 OF • BEACHI `_ Sutisdmnt No.:oir' According to the 2000 Census, six percent of households in Huntington Beach were overcrowded (Table 18). Approximately half of these were severely overcrowded (2,515 out of 4,752 units). The incidence of overcrowding is much lower in Huntington Beach than in Orange County at large, where 16 percent of households are overcrowded. Rental units in Huntington Beach were far more likely to be overcrowded than owner -occupied units (13 percent versus three percent). Number of Percent of Percent of Percent of Overcrowding Housing Housing Rental Owner Occupied Units Units Units Units Overcrowded 1 - 1.5 persons/room 2,237 3% 5% 1 2% Severely Overcrowded (>1.5 persons/room) 2,515 3% 8% 1 Total Overcrowded (>1 persons/room) 4,752 6% Source: US Census, 2000 Although overcrowding is not an overwhelming issue for Huntington Beach, the City still has need for large households. The City addresses this need in the 2008-2014 Housing Element, which established an objective to focus a portion of the City's affordable housing assistance toward projects that meet the needs of lower income renters, including large families. 2. Disproportionate Racial/Ethnic Need According to HUD, disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole.

However, Black, Pacific Islander and Native American households comprised a relatively small proportion of total households in the City. Hispanic households were the second most significant racial/ethnic group after Whites and are followed by Asian households. The City does not craft housing policies/programs based on race (to ensure compliance with fair housing laws). The City provides specific housing programs that address the needs of low and moderate income households regardless of race, including: • Affordable Housing Projects • Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re -Housing Program ■ First Time Homeowner Down Payment Assistance Program (if funding is available) • Rehabilitation Loan Program ■ Inclusionary Housing Program • Rental Assistance (Section 8 administered by the County) Because minority households (except Asian households) tend to earn lower incomes, these programs will benefit minority households. • 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan 11B -()5 7 - Item 20. - 186 OF • = Subsf n al Arnerid nt' 6-:1 6ur 1.

Priority Housing Needs The priority housing needs for Huntington Beach are shown in the Housing Needs Table included in Appendix . The characteristics of the housing market in Huntington Beach and the severity of housing problems and needs of each category of residents provided the basis for determining the relative priority of each priority housing need category. As previously stated, the CHAS data reported that 6,795 (nine percent) of Huntington Beach's households were large families. Of those, 3,812 (56 percent) were owner -households and 2,983 (44 percent) were renter -households. Approximately 27 percent (1,805) of these large families were low to moderate income households. Housing problems were most prevalent among large households, compared to other household types. Specifically, 75 percent of large renter -households experienced one or more housing problems, more than any other renter -household types. However, only 36 percent of large owner -households had one or more housing problems, still more than any other owner -household types. By nature of large households, it is more likely that these households experience overcrowding. There were 1,000 owner -households considered to be overcrowded, including 271 that were severely overcrowded. In contrast, there were 3,752 renter -households considered to be overcrowded, including 2,244 that were severely overcrowded. According to the CHAS data, 13,666 elderly households were residing in Huntington Beach, the majority of which were owners (82 percent). Among the elderly homeowners, 27 percent were paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, including 12 percent were paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Overpayment (paying more than 30 percent of income for housing) was more prevalent issue among renters as 58 percent of the elderly renter -households in Huntington Beach were overpaying for housing, including 35 percent paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing.

Housing Market Influence on Priorities As shown in the Housing Needs Section, a majority of low and moderate income households experience housing problems, including living in units with physical defects and/or overcrowded conditions and housing cost burden. Due to the high cost of housing in the Orange County region, most lower income households cannot afford to own homes and must seek affordable housing in the rental market. Due to the increasing number of older homes and apartments in the City, maintaining the existing housing stock is a primary concern. As discussed in the Housing Market section below, approximately 41 percent of housing units in the City are more than 30 years old. Overcrowding affects six percent of Huntington Beach households; however, overcrowding and severe overcrowding conditions impacted renters more than owners For households looking toward homeownership, the high cost of housing in the Orange County region puts homeownership out of reach of lower income households. According to the California Association of Realtor's First-time Buyer Housing Affordability Index, in the fourth quarter of 2009, 53 percent of households in Orange County could afford to purchase an entry-level home, compared to 64 percent for all of California and 77 percent for the United States. The affordability index represents a significant improvement in many parts of the country over the last few years due to the downturn of the real estate market; however, Orange County remains a high housing cost area. The affordability issue is compounded today by the lack of available mortgage financing and increased unemployment. Lower income households may need assistance with down payments and securing loans due to a higher potential for bad credit and lack of savings. 3. Basis for Assigning Priorities Input from residents, community stakeholders, service providers, and City staff helped establish and identify the specific housing needs in the community that the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds will support in the next five years. The Community Development Needs Assessment Survey is one of the methods by which the City determined priority housing needs for the next five years. Other methods include demographic and empirical data analysis, interviews with staff and service providers, and direct input by residents and stakeholders during public meetings. The City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the City's service delivery system. See also responses to number two of the General Questions Section for more thorough discussion on the basis for assigning priorities. 4. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs Obstacles to meeting underserved needs include the lack of funding and available land to provide affordable housing opportunities and supportive services for seniors and lower income households, particularly renter -households. To address the provision of housing related services to low and moderate income residents, Huntington Beach partners with and provides funding for a variety of public service agencies.

By 2009, the State Department of Finance estimated that the Huntington Beach housing stock had grown three percent to 78,049 units. Housing Type As of January 2009, single-family detached units comprised the largest percentage of the housing stock in Huntington Beach (nearly 50 percent). Another 12 percent of the units were single-family attached units. Mobile homes represented four percent Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 Item 20. - 189 11B -900- Substrti t Arriendrn­ No "dour k'' • • of the 2009 housing stock. Between 2000 and 2009, the biggest increase was in single-family detached homes. Housing Condition Age of Housing Age of housing is often an indicator of housing conditions. Many federal and state programs use age of housing as one factor to determine housing rehabilitation needs. Table 22 indicates that approximately 74 percent (57,907 units) of the City's housing units were built prior to 1979. It is generally accepted that housing over 30 years old needs minor repair, while housing older than 50 years is apt to need major rehabilitation. Typically, older units are a source of affordable housing stock for low and moderate income residents as rents and sales prices are usually lower. It is important for Huntington Beach to preserve these units as affordable housing stock through careful monitoring, code enforcement, and rehabilitation. Substandard Housing Substandard housing units may consist of the following conditions: Structural hazards, poor construction, inadequate maintenance, faulty wiring, plumbing, fire hazards, and inadequate sanitation. The 2000 Census indicated that in Huntington Beach, 106 owner -occupied units and 138 renter -occupied units lacked complete plumbing facilities. Together, these =2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan xB -961- Item 20. - 190 OF • Substantial Amendment Nu account for less than one percent of all housing units in the City. Less than ten percent of the City's housing stock is 50 years or older. These units are more likely to require substantial improvements/rehabilitation. The City rigorously pursues code enforcement and housing rehabilitation programs to improve and maintain the housing stock. Housing Occupancy and Tenure The number of occupied dwelling units in Huntington Beach was 73,808, according to the 2000 Census. Of these, 44,736 units (61 percent) were owner -occupied and 29,072 (39 percent) were renter -occupied. The City's First -Time Homebuyer programs seek to increase the opportunity for low to moderate income renter - households to become homeowners. Housing Costs Housing costs are indicative of housing accessibility for all economic segments of the community. Typically if housing supply exceeds housing demand, housing costs will fall. If housing demand exceeds housing supply, housing costs will rise. Rental Housing A snapshot of 2009 rents in Huntington Beach, based on an internet survey conducted between August and September 2009, shows a rental range by bedrooms as follows: ■ 1-bedroom Average - $1,285 ■ 2-bedroom Average - $1,431 ■ 3-bedroom Average - $1,919 ■ 4-bedroom Average - $1,695 Large units are rarely affordable to low and moderate income renter -households. Ownership Housing In Huntington Beach, like the rest of the County and most of the State, home prices had escalated in recent years until 2008. Table 23 shows the median home prices in Huntington Beach along with surrounding areas. Huntington Beach's home prices are comparable to those in the surrounding areas. Sales and home prices have fluctuated in various parts of the City and County, indicating instability in the market. Many areas are suffering from declining home values compared to the early part of the decade; however there have also been some increases since 2008. www.rentslicer.com, accessed September 10, 2009.

In Huntington Beach, foreclosures affect not only homeowners but also renters. According to a foreclosure listing source, more than 500 properties in Huntington Beach were at different stages (pre -foreclosure sales, auction, bank -owned, etc.) of foreclosures as of May 2010.8 Properties being foreclosed include multi -family rental buildings. When these properties are being foreclosed, renters have limited options for affordable housing. Despite paying rents dutifully, many renters are impacted by this foreclosure crisis. Housing for Persons with Disabilities A safe and affordable place to rent or own is essential to achieving independence and enables people with disabilities to be fully integrated participants in the community. However, many persons with disabilities live on fixed incomes and compete with other special needs groups for the limited affordable, decent housing. Some persons with disabilities require specialized care and supervision. Licensed community care facilities offer housing and specialized services for children and adults with disabilities. These facilities provide housing and/or services to persons with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities (Table 24). 8 http://www.homes.com, accessed May 20, 2010 ' 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -1)6;- Item 20. - 192 OF •ubstaal.Arnendmet N. 1=our . Both the federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act impose an affirmative duty on local governments to make reasonable accommodations (i.e. modification or exceptions) in their zoning and other land use regulations when such accommodate may be necessary to afford disabled persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. For example, it may be a reasonable accommodation to allow covered ramps in the setbacks of properties that have already been developed to accommodate residents with mobility impairments. The City of Huntington Beach allows homeowners to build ramps into single-family dwellings to allow first floor access for physically disabled residents. Such ramps or guardrails are permitted to intrude into the standards setbacks required under zoning and are subject only to a building permit. This provision eliminates the need to obtain a zoning variance. The City also makes rehabilitation funds available to income qualified households for accessibility improvements. The City coordinates with Dayle Macintosh Center to maintain a directory of accessible housing for physically disabled individuals. The City does not require special codes or onerous project review to construct, improve, or convert housing for persons with disabilities. Residential care facilities with six or fewer persons are permitted by right in all residential zoning districts and several commercial districts. Care facilities with seven or more are also permitted in all residential districts and several commercial districts, subject to a conditional use permit. Housing for Persons with HIV/AIDS According to the Comprehensive HIV Services Plan 2009-2011, the following list represents prominent organizations within Orange County that serve the HIV/AIDS segments of the population. These organizations were identified because they receive Ryan White funds and State Office of AIDS (SOA) prevention funding. This list is not comprehensive because it does not include private physicians, group practices, preferred provider organizations, health maintenance organizations, private hospitals, or community -based organizations that are solely privately funded. ■ AIDS Services Foundation Orange County ■ Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team ■ Delhi Center, ■ Health Care Agency (HCA) Behavioral Health (REACH Program) ■ HCA Public Health (HIV Clinic and Dental Clinic) ■ Laguna Beach Community Clinic ■ Public Law Center ■ Shanti Orange County ■ Straight Talk Clinic, Inc. ■ The Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center of Orange County Vacant or Abandoned Housing Units Housing vacancy rates provide information on the number of vacant units compared to the total number of units in a city. Vacancy rates therefore reveal local housing supply and demand. Some housing vacancy is normal, as vacancies allow for people moving from one place to another. A healthy vacancy rate - one which permits sufficient choice among a variety of housing units - is considered to be two to three percent for ownership units and five to six percent for rental units. With a housing Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 " Item 20. - 193 FIB -964- bst nfial Amendment Na. our OF • stock comprised of 39 percent rental units and 61 percent owner -occupied units in Huntington Beach, the optimum vacancy rate is approximately three percent. In 2000, the vacancy rate had decreased for both owner -occupied units and rental units, resulting in a low overall vacancy rate (2.6 percent). The California Department of Finance estimates an ongoing low overall vacancy rate of 2.7 percent in 2009. A limited vacancy rate increases competition for housing and can result in higher housing costs, reducing housing opportunities for lower income households. Projected Housing Needs State law requires each jurisdiction be responsible for a share of the region's housing needs. This share of housing needs is divided into four income groups. According to the Regional Housing needs Allocation, the City of Huntington Beach has a housing construction need of 2,062 units for the 2006-2014 planning period as follows: ■ 454 units for households earning 50 percent or less of the County Area Median Income (AMI) ■ 369 units for households earning ■ 414 units for households earning ■ 855 units for households earning 2. Assisted Housing Units between 51 and 80 percent of AMI between 81 and 120 percent of AMI more than 120 percent of AMI Assisted housing units are defined as units with rents subsidized by federal, state, or local governmental programs. Table 25 presents the inventory of affordable housing developments in Huntington Beach. In 2009, there were a total of 1,248 affordable rental units in the City (Table 25). Affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income households are available through a variety of funding programs. One affordable housing project - Huntington (Wycliffe) Gardens - is considered to be at -risk during this planning period of this Consolidated Plan. Huntington Gardens is a 185- unit Section 231 senior project with a mortgage extending through 2016 and project -based Section 8 contracts subject to short-term renewals through HUD. In November 2006, the owner of Wycliffe Gardens provided a Notice of Intent to Prepay to the City, HUD, the State and tenants of the project. City Economic Development staff are currently working with an experienced non-profit housing developer (Orange Housing Development Corporation) in an effort to negotiate the acquisition and continued affordability of Wycliffe Gardens, or alternatively, the extension and preservation of the existing affordable terms and Section 8 housing assistance. HUD regulations require property owners of assisted rental housing to provide a six- month notice to tenants prior to opting out of the low-income use restrictions. The California legislature has made efforts to preserve units that are at risk of converting, and has therefore extended the noticing requirement to one year. In addition, each jurisdiction's Housing Element (a section of the required General Plan) must discuss measures it will take to preserve housing at risk of converting to market rate. The Huntington Beach 2008-2014 Housing Element identifies multiple measures the City will take to conserve these affordable units, including monitoring the at -risk units, identifying nonprofit organizations for potential purchase/management, monitoring Section 8 legislation, providing technical assistance to nonprofit property owners, and exploring partnerships to preserve the affordable units. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan H13 -965- Item 20. - 194 OF • BEACH] Substantial 1mendilrtt fit®xaur Affordable Applicable I Potential Project Name Tenant Type Total Units Conversion Units Programs Date City Multi -Family Revenue Bond Projects Emerald Cove Senior 164 164 VL/Low City Bond Perpetui Huntington Family, Senior, 342 68 City Bond 2020 Breakers Disabled Five Points Villas Senior 166 32 VL, 16 Mod City Bond, RDA 2029 Set -Aside Federally Assisted Project Huntington Section 231 (Wycliffe) Senior 185 185 Section 8 2013 Gardens Redevelopment Agency Assistance Bowen Court Senior 20 20 VL Set -Aside Land 2062 Apartments Lease Bridges Family 80 80 VL/Low Set -Aside 2032 Apartments Inclusionary Colette's Transitional Children's Domestic 8 8 VL Set -Aside 2064-2066 Homes Violence Fountains Senior Senior 271 i 80 VL/Low Set -Aside Bond 2063 Apartments Financing Hermosa Vista Family 88 88 VL/Low Set -Aside Bond 2064 Apartments Financing Huntington Family 104 104 VL/Low Set -Aside Bond 2063 Pointe Financing Transitional- Set -Aside, Interval House Domestic 6 6 VL/Low HOME 2031 Violence Jamboree Family 10 9 VL/Low Set -Aside, 2066 Oakview HOME OCCHC — Oakview Family 64 64 VL S 2024-2060 Keelson, Koledo HOME 1-5.

Housing Market Influence on Affordable Housing Due to the high land costs and related high home prices and rental rates, it is important to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing in Huntington Beach. Housing needs are felt by a wide spectrum of the community, and are greater than the resources available. As such, available public resources to serve low and moderate income households will need to be distributed across the spectrum of needs and leveraged when possible. Specifically, the City provides funds for housing rehabilitation, first-time homebuyer assistance (if funding is available), and the creation new housing or preservation of existing affordable housing serving the target groups. 9. Describe the priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction hopes to achieve over a specified time period. 2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by the strategic plan. 1. Housing Priorities and Specific Objectives Housing activities that benefit low and moderate income households will receive a High Priority during the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan period. The intended outcomes will be the conservation and improvement of existing affordable housing, increased development of affordable housing, and the promotion of equal housing opportunities. Only CDBG or HOME funded programs will include five-year quantified objectives. ® 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -967- Item 20. - 196 OF • Substantial AmendmentQ. dour. Priority 1: Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single -Family and Multi -Family Dwelling Units. The City provides loans and grants to rental property owners and homeowners to make improvements to their properties with the objective of improving housing conditions for low and moderate income households. Hsg-1: Rehabilitation Programs — Medium Priority There is demonstrated need for rehabilitation assistance in order to preserve the quality of the existing housing stock. CDBG (Revolving Loan funds) and HOME funds will be made available to eligible homeowners and owners of multi -family units and mobile home owners for the housing rehabilitation assistance. Single -Family Home Improvement Loans: CDBG (Revolving Loan) funds the City's Single -Family Home Improvement Loans Program. The City will lend up to $75,000 to pay for rehabilitation costs for a single-family home, townhouse, or condominium and up to $15,000 for a mobile home. Grants are also available to low income households whose estimated repair costs do not exceed $10,000. Grants and loans cannot be combined. All loans are deferred payment loans with no monthly payments; all loan principal and interest will be due when the title to your home is sold, assigned or transferred. The annual interest rate for all loans is three percent. All borrowers have to pay a $500 processing fee for title search, recording, and other costs; this fee may be included in your loan. Multifamily Rental Housing Rehabilitation Loans: The City provides up to $75,000 for repairs to duplex, triplex or four-plex units. The loan provided will be a deferred payment loan with an annual interest rate of three percent. To qualify, the property must, after combining all existing mortgages and the City's loan, have a minimum of 20 percent equity investment in the property. After repairs are completed, the City will require the following during the term of the loan: ■ No more than one household may occupy a single apartment. ■ The amount charged for rent must fall within certain affordability guidelines. ■ The property must be well maintained. ■ A portion of the residents must be low income. CDBG Five -Year Objectives: ■ Provide 100 housing rehabilitation loans and grants using CDBG funds.

Recently, the City instituted a first-time homebuyer program to assist households in achieving homeownership. Hsg-2: Inclusionary Housing Program — Low Priority There are several hundred homes in Huntington Beach that were built under the City's Inclusionary Housing Program to be affordable for low, median and moderate income home buyers. These homes become available for purchase by eligible buyers when new developments are built or when existing homeowners decide to sell. Five -Year Objectives: Provide assistance to 40 households. Performance Measures/Outcomes: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability and Affordability (2) Hsg-3: First -Time Homebuyers Downpayment Assistance Program — Low Priority Silent second mortgage loan program with an equity share for low to moderate - income first-time homebuyers; principal payments deferred. The Principal payments are due in 30th year or upon sale or transfer of property, when property ceases to become owner -occupied, or upon repayment or refinancing of first mortgage, whichever comes first. The loan term is 45 years and the amount of the loan is 20 percent of the purchase price but not exceeding $100,000. Equity Sharing Payment will be forgiven in the event borrower owns and occupies the property for the first 30 years of the 45-year term. The City's First -Time Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program was funded with redevelopment housing set -aside funds. However, with the changes in redevelopment law and the fate of set -aside funds being uncertain, the City has discontinued this program. As funding is available in the future, the City may reinstate this program. Priority 3: Improve and Maintain Neighborhood Conditions While the majority of Huntington Beach neighborhoods enjoy a high quality of life, the City takes proactive steps to preserve and enhance the quality of its neighborhoods for the future. Hsg-3: Code Enforcement Code enforcement in the City's targeted Enhancement Areas has proven to be an important means to alleviating the blight in distressed areas. The City utilizes CDBG funds to support the enforcement of housing code violations and elimination of blights in the Enhancement Areas. CDBG Five -Year Objectives: ■ Operate a special code enforcement program within the special designated areas, benefitting 3,000 housing units within these areas. ■ Conduct one Enhancement Area Clean Up Day annually, for a total of five over the planning period. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan 11B _c)()c)- Item 20. - 198 OF • 5ubstantialAmeadit`Nn: Fair"„' Performance Measures/Outcomes: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability and Accessibility (1) Priority 4: Expand and Preserve Affordable Housing Opportunities Through new development and acquisition/rehabilitation, the City provides additional affordable housing opportunities to low and moderate income households in the City. In addition, rental assistance through the Housing Choice Vouchers program represents a significant resource for the City's low income households. Hsg-4: New Construction and Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Housing — High Priority In an effort to expand and preserve its affordable housing stock, Huntington Beach has worked with Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to acquire residential properties. These properties are rehabilitated and then made available to low and moderate income persons. The City also works with CHDOs and private developers to develop new affordable housing. The CHDO must enter into an agreement with the City that outlines all of the affordability requirements, property maintenance standards and long-term monitoring requirements that are required by HOME regulations. Oceana Apartments Project: The City has entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement (Amended December 16, 2013) with AMCAL Multi -Housing, Inc. to develop a four-story project with 78 affordable housing units for income levels at 30 and 60 percent of Orange County median income. The Oceana Apartments project is a two -acre site located at 18151 Beach Boulevard and is proposed to include at -grade podium parking, street level common space, and residential units on the second level. Pursuant to Substantial Amendment Number One to the FY 2013-14 Annual Action Plan, the City has allocated an additional $135,000 to the project, for a total allocation of $935,000. The additional funding will be used to offset the costs of additional project amenities such as upgraded kitchens, a canopy for the tot lot, and electric plug -ins for eight cars. The HOME subsidy is structured as a 60-year zero -interest loan to be repaid through residual receipts. Project Self -Sufficiency Affordable Housing Project (313 11 th Street): The City has entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) with a local CHDO, Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC), to rehabilitate nine -units at 313 11th Street, currently housing participants in the Project Self - Sufficiency program. The property consists of five one -bedroom units, and four two -bedroom units. HOME funds in the amount of $305,000 will be utilized for rehabilitation of the following: exterior stucco, roof, sewer, electrical, plumbing, and multiple window and door replacements. An additional $37,223 will be used for project delivery costs associated with the predevelopment and administration of the project. The AHA calls for all units to be restricted to low-income tenants with priority given to participants in the Project Self Sufficiency program. The units will be income and rent restricted for 55 years. HOME Five -Year Objectives: ■ Increase affordable housing by 50 units through new construction and acquisition/rehabilitation.

The TBRA Program will meet the City's investment criteria by dedicating program assistance to homeless households with incomes at or below 30% AMI with preference to veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence. HOME funds in the amount of $411,758 will be allocated to this program. HOME Five -Year Objectives: Assist 20 households. Performance Measures/Outcomes: Decent Housing (DH)/Affordability (2) 2. Federal, State and Local Public and Private Sector Resources The City of Huntington Beach has access to federal, state, and local resources to achieve its housing and community development priorities. Specific funding sources will be utilized based on the opportunities and constraints of each project or program. The City utilizes three major funding sources for housing and community development activities: CDBG, HOME, and redevelopment tax increment funds. HUD awards CDBG and HOME funds to allocation that takes into account the inadequate housing, poverty, and housing for housing and community development expand affordable housing opportunities. Huntington Beach based on a formula tightness of the local housing market, production costs. CDBG funds can be used activities, and HOME funds are used to Redevelopment tax increment funds generated by the Redevelopment Agency can be used to facilitate the removal of blighted conditions in Redevelopment Project Areas. Twenty percent of the tax increment funds are set aside for affordable housing activities. The City's goal is to leverage federal, state, and local funds to maximize the number of households that can be assisted. • 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -9 1- Item 20. - 200 In cooperation with the public housing agency or agencies located within its boundaries, describe the needs of public housing, including the number of public housing units in the jurisdiction, the physical condition of such units, the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing projects within the jurisdiction, and other factors, including the number of families on public housing and tenant -based waiting lists and results from the Section 504 needs assessment of public housing projects located within its boundaries (i.e. assessment of needs of tenants and applicants on waiting list for accessible units as required by 24 CFR 8. 25). The public housing agency and jurisdiction can use the optional Priority Public Housing Needs Table (formedy Table 4) of the Consolidated Plan to identify priority public housing needs to assist in this process.

Explain whether the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing are affected by public policies, particularly those of the local jurisdiction.

Describe the strategy to remove or ameliorate negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing, except that, if a State requires a unit of general local government to submit a regulatory barrier assessment that is substantially equivalent to the information required under this part, as determined by HUD, the unit of general local govemment may submit that assessment to HUD and it,shall ,be considered to have complied with this requirement. 1. Barriers to Affordable Housing Affordable housing barriers exist in the form of market factors and governmental regulations. Barriers or impediments to affordable housing are caused when the incentive to develop such housing is removed due to excessive development costs and/or the lack of community commitment. Because of the barriers, housing development can be rendered economically infeasible, or the housing produced may not be affordable to low and moderate income households. Some development costs are motivated by economic conditions and issues that affect the real estate market and are outside the control of local government. Local government cannot control many factors that tend to restrict housing supply especially those that relate to regional, national, and international economy. Various factors not under the control of local government influence the cost, supply, and distribution of housing. These factors include land costs, construction costs, and financing costs. In addition, the development of affordable housing is affected by both the economic market conditions and the housing policies of federal, state, and local governments, and the "Not in My Back Yard" (NIMBY) mentality as expressed by residents and local businesses.

Furthermore, public policy and community issues potentially affect the cost of all development projects through the design and implementation of land use ordinances, fees, and development standards. Market Barriers Cost of Housing and Homeownership Rate The City of Huntington Beach's primary problem with affordable housing is the cost of housing in the City. Huntington is a beach community with median home prices ranging from $500,000 to $800,000 in the midst of a housing market crash. Approximately 61 percent of the City's housing stock consists of ownership housing. Due to the high costs of ownership housing during the housing boom between 2000 and 2006, the City has difficulty providing homeownership assistance to low and moderate income households until recently. With the implosion of the housing market, opportunities open up for some low and moderate income households. In 2009, the City established a new First -Time Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance program to take advantage of the moderated home prices. Mortgage Financing Under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977, banks are required to loan money in low and moderate income communities, have meaningful communication with members of the community regarding banking services, and market or provide special credit -related information to make residents aware of the credit services. In tandem with the CRA, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) requires lending institutions to disclose the disposition of each home purchase and improvement loan application. The following summarizes residential lending activities of conventional home purchase loans, as related to the availability/accessibility of financing. The annual HMDA data for 2008 (the most recent year available) indicates that 7,077 conventional home mortgage applications were submitted for homes in Huntington Beach. Of the applications, 51 percent were approved and 23 percent were denied by the lenders. A small portion (three percent) were closed for incompleteness while 10 percent were approved by the lenders but not accepted by the applicants and 12 percent were withdrawn. Information on race and home loans is not readily available through the HMDA for the City of Huntington Beach, but it is available for the Santa Ana -Anaheim -Irvine MSA that includes Huntington Beach. In this MSA, the HMDA data indicates that 41 percent of the applications were from Non -Hispanic households, nine percent from Hispanic households, nine percent from Asian households, and less than one percent from Black households. A large portion of the loan applications were joint applicants by persons of different races or where the race information is not available. In the Santa Ana -Anaheim -Irvine MSA, only four percent of applications were filed by households earning less than 50 percent of the AMI; 13 percent were filed by households earning between 50 and 79 percent of the AMI; 13 percent were filed by households earning between 80 and 99 percent of the AMI; 11 percent were filed by households earning between 100 and 119 percent of the AMI; and 56 percent were filed by households earning greater than 120 percent of the AMI. In addition, HMDA indicates that there were 185 government -backed financing applications filed in Huntington Beach. These types of loans typically help low and Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 = Item 20. - 203 HB - 74- �tistanal`rrindfimertt Q.1=caur" OF • moderate income applicants. The low number of applications received indicates that the home prices in Huntington Beach are too high to qualify for government -backed financing. Access to conventional financing was not an issue during the last few years until 2008. In fact, it was the over abundance of mortgage financing that led to the foreclosure crisis that many communities, including Huntington Beach, are facing today. As previously indicated, many properties in Huntington Beach are in various stages of foreclosures. These foreclosures affect not only owner -occupants but renters where their landlords over financed their properties and are facing foreclosures. Government Barriers Local government can constrain the production of affordable housing in a variety of ways, including: limiting the land designated for residential development and/or the densities at which that development can occur, imposing fees or exactions (park fees, permit processing fees, etc.), and requiring lengthy review periods prior to approval or denial of a project. However, it is important to recognize that the goal of producing a range of affordable housing may at times conflict with other City goals, such as the desire to provide sufficient open space and recreation facilities, the desire to protect unique environmental features and historic resources, and the desire to ensure the health and safety of the residents by maintaining an acceptable level of community services and infrastructure. The need to ensure adequate housing for all economic segments of the community must be balanced with these goals. Land Use Regulations Specific zoning and land use regulations can limit the land designated for residential uses and regulate the allowable densities. The City must plan for other uses besides housing, including active commerce, open space, and areas for public facilities. The need for a variety of housing and the pursuit of affordable housing must be balanced with these other City needs. California law specifies that jurisdictions must identify adequate sites in their Housing Elements (a required component of the General Plan) to be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards to encourage the development of housing for all economic segments of the community. These include multifamily rental housing, factory -built housing, mobile -homes, emergency and transitional housing. The City of Huntington Beach, through its General Plan and Zoning regulations, offer a variety of housing types and a range of residential intensities from seven units per acre to 35 units per acre. In 2008, the California Department of Housing and Community Development found Huntington Beach's adopted 2008- 2014 Housing Element to be in compliance with California law. Planning and Development Fees Development fees and taxes charged by local governments also contribute to the cost of housing. Building, zoning, and site improvement fees can significantly add to the cost of construction and have a negative effect on the production of affordable housing. Huntington Beach charges fees to offset the costs associated with permit processing, though they are not a deterrent to housing development. ® 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan I-1B -975- Item 20. - 204 4� OF • �rabstntrai meridment N.o Four Permit and Processing Procedures The processing time required to obtain approval of development permits is often cited as a contributing factor to the high cost of housing. For some proposed development projects, additional time is needed to complete the environmental review process before an approval can be granted. Unnecessary delays add to the cost of construction by increasing land holding costs and interest payments. Davis -Bacon Prevailing Wages A prevailing wage must be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi -family project over eight units. The prevailing wage is usually higher than competitive wages, raising the cost of housing production and rehabilitation activities. Davis -Bacon also adds to housing costs by requiring documentation of the prevailing wage compliance. These requirements often restrict participation by small, minority contractors. Public Opposition to Affordable Housing Not -in -My -Back -Yard (NIMBY) is a term used to describe opposition by local residents to construction, typically of affordable housing, though also in public facilities. Public opposition to affordable housing projects can cause delays in the development review process and sometimes can lead to project denial. A large amount of funds can be spent by developers of affordable housing but ultimately with a proposed project being denied during the public hearing process due to public opposition. 2. Strategy to Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing The City of Huntington Beach works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impact of efforts to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce costs or provide off -setting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. According to the City's 2008-2014 Housing Element, the City will: ■ Continue to offer density bonus incentives to facilitate affordable housing development. • Continue to offer fee reimbursements as part of its overall package of development assistance for affordable housing. • Pursuant to AB 641, allow developers of affordable housing projects with a minimum of 49 percent low and moderate income units (up to 80 percent MEI) to defer payment of development fees until issuance of certificate of occupancy. • Review the typical project size of multifamily development projects on properties zoned residential use to determine an appropriate size threshold to permit multifamily uses by right (removing the conditional use permit requirement for projects below the threshold). ■ Revise the Zoning Ordinance to include the provisions for transitional housing, supportive housing, and emergency shelters.

'Please also refer to the Homeless Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook 1. Homeless Needs Many extremely low and low income households are considered at risk of becoming homeless because they often overpay for housing and would likely lose their homes if they were to become unemployed. A new group of at -risk households are those facing evictions due to foreclosures on their homes or on their rental units when their landlord defaulted on their mortgages. Victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, youth recently released from the foster system, parolees, and other persons released from medical facilities may also be considered "at -risk." Nature and Extent of Homelessness and Subpopulations Throughout the Country and the Los Angeles and Orange County region, homelessness has become an increasing problem. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low and moderate income persons, increases in the number of persons whose income falls below the poverty level, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and the de - institutionalization of the mentally ill. According to the 2009 Orange County Homeless Census and Survey conducted by Point in Time Orange County, there are approximately 8,333 homeless persons on any given day throughout Orange County in October 2009. Homeless families with children make up 17 percent of this population and other homeless individuals and households without children account for the remaining 83 percent of the population.

However, the Orange County Management Information System (CMIS) reported that 83 (two percent) of 4,171 surveyed homeless persons reported being from Huntington Beach.

Because there is no agricultural land in the City there is no "rural" homeless population. The City of Huntington Beach, along with Orange County, regularly supports homeless shelters and other services. Key needs identified in the Homeless Count included: housing for veterans and the mentally ill; long-term or permanent housing; domestic violence services; case management and supportive services; transitional programs for youth; emergency beds; and even distribution of shelter beds across the County. Subpopulations Specific statistics regarding the characteristics of the homeless population in Huntington Beach are not available at this time. Countywide subpopulations reported by the County from the Homeless Count are presented in Table 26. Needs of Persons Threatened with Homelessness Lower income families, especially those earning extremely low income (those earning less than 30 percent of the median), are considered to be "at- risk of becoming homeless". These families are often living below the poverty level and are generally experiencing a housing cost burden (paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing). In more severe cases, some families pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Households paying a greater portion of their income for housing are at a higher risk of becoming homeless due to financial setbacks and a lack of savings, created as a direct result of their housing cost burden. The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy's (CHAS) 2000 data indicated there are 5,612 extremely low income households in Huntington Beach, of these 3,521 were renters and 2,091 were owners. Of the renters, 2,852 (81 percent) were paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, including 2,500 (71 percent of all renters) who were paying more than 50 percent. Of the owners, 1,610 (77 percent) were paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, including 1,317 (63 percent of total owners) who were paying more than 50 percent. The 2000 Census data also identified seven percent of the population (12,442 people) were living below the poverty level.

Homeless and Homeless Prevention Priorities The City will continue to assess its homeless population and work with agencies providing transitional shelter for its homeless population. The City's departments of Economic Development, Police, and Community Services work together to maximize resources and information available to serve this population. The City's Public Nuisance Task Force meets monthly to discuss and update homeless needs and strategies, as well as other city issues. City staff is active and participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force to further address these issues, and the City is active in a regional approach to homeless needs and strategies. Emergency and Transitional Shelter Needs City staff is active with the Orange County Continuum of Care and its regional approach to the homeless issue. The strategy is to continue to support existing emergency shelter programs. Currently the City has assisted Colette's Children Home Inc. with the rehabilitation of multi -family units (4) to be used as transitional housing for battered/homeless mothers with children. During the next year, the City anticipates assisting this agency with an additional four units for the same purpose. Need for Persons at risk of Becoming Homeless The City places high priority on assisting individuals and families avoid homelessness through its Community Services Department activities and through its sub -grants to non-profit agencies serving the homeless or those at risk of becoming homeless.

Homeless Prevention Programs and Services While some segments of the community may be able to move out of or avoid poverty on their own or with some initial assistance (such as job training), other more vulnerable segments of the community may require ongoing assistance. These include frail elderly, children, youth, and individuals with certain disabilities. Programs available to Huntington Beach residents include the following: Project Self -Sufficiency, which is administered by the City of Huntington Beach Community Services Department, aims at assisting low income single parents with children to achieve economic independence from public assistance through personal development, education, and job training. Participants are encouraged to attend a monthly support meeting focusing on providing skills, abilities, and resources to promote self sufficiency. Project Self -Sufficiency maintains a food pantry and links participants with needed clothing, furniture, used computers, and cars. The Seniors Outreach Center provides services that assist elders in the city with their physical, emotional and nutritional needs through professionally trained staff and volunteers. The Outreach Center, adjacent to the Seniors Center, focuses on programs and services for frail or homebound seniors to promote safety, self-sufficiency and independence. Oak View Community Center, which is managed by The Children's Bureau, a non-profit agency, provides a variety of family support and youth development services including parent education classes, in -home parenting support and case management, health education and health access assistance, domestic violence prevention and intervention, literacy programs, Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Four 1 2010 - 2014 Item 20. - 211 uB _Q8_`_ bsia#drnetidment i© Four OF • BEACH] ,tea homework clubs, tutoring, youth clubs, teen programs and clubs, community enrichment and culturally sensitive activities.

Strategy to Address Homelessness Priority 5: Provide Assistance to the Homeless and Persons At -Risk of Becoming Homeless The City will continue to assess its homeless population and work with agencies providing transitional shelter for its homeless population. The City's departments of Economic Development, Police and Community Services work together to maximize resources and information available to serve this population. The City received $566,611 in Homeless Prevention and Rapid -Rehousing Program (HPRP) funds as part of the Stimulus Act. A Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was issued in June 2009 to solicit participation of nonprofit agencies to provide homeless preventions services. Interval House and Colette's Children Home were selected to implement the City's HPRP program. The City is actively participating with the Orange County Continuum of Care to address the regional specific planned action aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness by 2012. Barriers to this goal, of course, include the enormity of the issue and the lack of adequate resources to fund actions. The City places high priority on assisting individuals and families to avoid homelessness through local and regional activities serving the homeless or those at risk of becoming homeless. The City continues to fund programs such as Project Self -Sufficiency, Seniors Outreach, and the Oak View Community Center. By partnering with CHDOs, the Economic Development Department will use HOME and redevelopment housing set -aside funds to support the ongoing need to acquire and renovate multi -family housing made available to low income families. Hm-1: Homeless Services — High Priority Provide assistance to non -profits and public agencies that provide services, support and housing for homeless and those at -risk of becoming homeless. Preventing homelessness for extremely -low income households that are often at risk of becoming homeless is priority for the City of Huntington Beach. CDBG/HPRP Five -Year Objectives: Continue to support non-profit agencies that assist the persons at risk of becoming homeless and the homeless through the Community Development Block Grant Program. Such services shall provide homeless assistance, emergency shelter, transitional shelter, supportive housing, outreach/ assessment, and homeless prevention services. ■ Assist 300 homeless and at -risk homeless persons and families.

Strategy to Eliminate Chronic Homelessness The City takes a regional approach to homelessness, including chronic homelessness. In addition to services and housing provided by the Orange County Continuum of Care, Section 8 rental assistance may assist homeless persons in transitioning into permanent housing and independent living. See also response to Number 1 of this section, above. 3. Homeless Prevention Experts estimate that two to three families are on the verge of homelessness for every family in a shelter. As identified in the Housing Needs section above, the at - risk population is comprised of families and individuals living in poverty who, upon loss of employment or other emergency requiring financial reserves, would lose their housing and become homeless. These families are generally experiencing a housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. In Huntington Beach, more than 3,810 households have extremely low incomes who pay more than 50 percent of their incomes on housing. This group is considered at risk of becoming homeless. Other persons considered at risk for becoming homeless include victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, youth recently released from foster care, and parolees. To help prevent homelessness and protect at -risk populations, Huntington Beach will continue to participate in the Orange County Community of Care System to provide assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. The City is actively implementing its HPRP program through Interval House and Colette's Children Home to provide assistance to at -risk persons. In addition, the City continues to expand its affordable housing inventory that benefit primarily low income renters. 4. Institutional Structure for Homelessness Strategy Huntington Beach will continue to participate in the Orange County Continuum of Care System to provide assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. As outlined in Strategy to Address Homelessness, the City refers homeless persons to a number of emergency shelters and supportive services organizations. Within the City, Community Services Department also helps coordinate services for the homeless and at -risk homeless. See also response to Number 1 of this section, above, for more information. 5. Discharge Policy Not Applicable. The City does not receive Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However, the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force.

These populations tend to have less income at their disposal, may be unaware of services responding to their special circumstances and may have difficulty with enrollment or eligibility procedures. CD-1: Senior Services — High Priority The City may use CDBG funds to provide needed senior services in the City. Needed services include: housing, in -home services, health services, adult day care, information and referral and transportation. The City is also focused on providing support and services for family members and caregivers of elderly residents. Providing education and outreach to improve overall community wellness is important to the City of Huntington Beach.

The Citizens Participation Advisory Board along with staff will select projects that meet the greatest demand and provide for an improved, safer and more accessible neighborhood. These projects are funded through CDBG. CD-4: Capital Improvements and Community Facilities — High Priority The City of Huntington Beach's Public Works Department identifies and prioritizes capital improvement projects needed in the City and Enhancement Areas. CDBG funds may be used to provide the various types of public facilities and infrastructure improvements. Public facility improvements, including energy efficiency improvements, street and sidewalk reconstruction, lighting improvements, along with drainage and other infrastructure improvements are needed. Community facilities owned and operated by nonprofit organizations are also eligible for CDBG funding as long as the facilities meet the national objectives of serving primarily low and moderate income persons and/or persons with special needs. CDBG Five -Year Objectives: • Pursue five capital improvement projects. Performance Measures/Outcomes: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability and Accessibility (1) CD-5: Accessibility Improvements in Public Structures and Facilities — High Priority According to the 2000 Census, 25,127 Huntington Beach residents had one or more disabilities. Specifically, 9,810 Huntington Beach residents may be considered as physically disabled, according to the Census. To comply with ADA requirements, the City must ensure that all public facilities, including all parks facilities, be accessible to persons of all abilities. Accessibility improvements to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act are ranked as a high priority need. All curbs and sidewalks need to be improved citywide. CDBG funds may be used to fund the balance of these improvements in the enhancement areas over the five year period. Community facilities owned and operated by nonprofit organizations are also eligible for CDBG funding as long as the facilities meet the national objectives of serving primarily persons with disabilities.

Preparation of annual updates allows the City to address the community's changing needs. Continued outreach to low and moderate income households should be conducted as part of the CDBG program's required public participation process. Up to 20 percent of CDBG funds and up to ten percent of HOME funds can be used to support general administration of the CDBG and HOME programs. Funds are used to cover costs for salaries, services, supplies and general overhead. Priority 9: Promote Economic Development and Employment Opportunities for Low and Moderate Income Households Huntington Beach has long held the highest standards for its businesses and residents. The goals of the Economic Development Department are to retain and expand the City's base of retail and industry. The department works with other City departments, county and state agencies, colleges and non-profit groups to provide economic development resources. By utilizing various economic development tools, including activities carried out by the Redevelopment Agency, the City's property tax and sales tax revenue shall continue to support city services and provide for a strong local economy. Specifically, the City: 1. Provides staff support to Economic Development Committee, a sub committee of City Council. 2. Continues interdepartmental meetings to increase efficiency, improve working relationships between departments, and to assist new developments through the City processes. 3. Markets City and economic development at various conferences, such as the International Conference of Shopping Centers and participate with local partners namely the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Huntington Beach Marketing and Visitors Bureau. CD-6: Section 108 Loans — High Priority The City has utilized Section 108 loans in the past to provide for economic development activities. CDBG funds will be used to repay the existing Section 108 loans. While the City does not anticipate issuing new Section 108 loans, the City may take advantage of opportunities offered under the new Section 108 program to refinance the existing loans. Refinancing the Section 108 loans will reduce the City repayments and thereby releasing CDBG funds for other activities, including housing rehabilitation and code enforcement.

Five -Year Objectives: ■ Free Downtown Shuttle Program (Tuesdays) - Medium Priority - 212 persons. • Free Downtown Shuttle Program (Summer Weekends) - Medium Priority - 60 persons. 2. Basis for Assigning Priority The City conducted a community survey, held a community meeting with residents and service providers, and interviewed City departments to assess the nature and extent of community development needs, as described in the Citizen Participation Section. Funding priorities were established based on the extent of needs and the availability of other funding sources to address those needs. (See also response to Item No. 2 in the General Questions Section, page 2.) Current and past funding levels for services and facility improvements are used as gross estimates for the funding needed for the next five years. The unit of assistance, depending on the nature of the program, may represent a household, a housing unit, a person, a business, or a project.

Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Need One of the main obstacles to meeting underserved community development needs is inadequate funding from state and federal governments. While appropriations for the CDBG program increased in FY 2010-2011, over the past decade appropriations have decreased significantly, leading to reduced support for local community development programs. With the increasing California budget crisis and reduction in funding from the state, funding levels are inadequate to meet increasing needs. In addition, while CDBG funds can be used to assist with renovations and creation of new public facilities and capital projects in the targeted neighborhoods, other priority community, housing, and human service needs, must also be considered, limiting the amount of CDBG funds available. 4. Specific Long -Term and Short -Term Community Development Objectives Huntington Beach has established the following programs/objectives during the five- year Consolidated Plan period to address priority community development needs in the City: DH-1 Decent Housing: Availability/Accessibility ■ Preserve and rehabilitate existing single-family and multi -family dwelling units (100 units) ■ Expand and preserve affordable housing opportunities (50 units) ■ Provide homeownership assistance (40 households) ■ Provide rental assistance (4,500 households) SL-1 Suitable Living Environment: Availability/Accessibility ■ Improve and maintain neighborhood conditions (3,000 units and five clean-up days) ■ Provide assistance to the homeless and persons at risk of becoming homeless (300 persons or families) ■ Provide and improve community services for low and moderate income persons and those with non -homeless special needs (1,000 seniors, 2,350 youth and 50,000 low and moderate income persons) ■ Improve and expand community facilities and infrastructure to meet current and future needs (five capital improvement projects and five ADA improvement projects) EO-1 Economic Opportunity: Availability/Accessibility ■ Promote economic development and employment opportunities for low and moderate income households (repayment of Section 108 loans, 200 small business technical assistance instances, 20 business resource seminars, 5 economic development conferences, 212 persons via free downtown shuttle on Tuesdays, and 60 persons via free downtown shuttle on summer weekend) ' : t 2010 - 2014 Five -Year Strategic Plan H B -991- Item 20. - 220 OF • BEACH] Sbstntiai Arner�dment �.

Should funding levels be reduced in the future, the ability of the City to meet these objectives may be compromised. Also refer to Community Development Needs Table in Appendix B for five-year and one-year objectives. Five -Year Priority Community Needs Table The five-year priority community needs and objectives are summarized in the Needs Tables contained in Appendix B. The Priority Need Level is developed based on several factors: 1) results of the Housing and Community Development Needs Survey; 2) results of the Housing and Community Development Needs Assessment; and 3) the relative level of CDBG and HOME funds required to address community development needs. Current and past funding levels for services and facility improvements, as well as funding needs identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan are used as gross estimates for the funding needed for the next five years.

In consultation with other appropriate public and private agencies, (i.e. TANF agency) state how the jurisdiction's goals, programs, and policies for producing and preserving affordable housing set forth in the housing component of the consolidated plan will be coordinated with other programs and services for which' the jurisdiction is responsible. 2. Identify the extent to which this strategy will reduce (or assist in reducing) the number of poverty level families, taking into consideration factors over which the jurisdiction has control Tn 41"g- tog 1. Anti -Poverty Strategy The 2000 Census indicates that only seven percent of the City's population was classified as living below the poverty level. Typically, a higher proportion of female - headed households experience poverty than other segments of the population. In Huntington Beach, about 19 percent of the City's female -headed households lived below the poverty level in 2000. Specifically, 20 percent of the City's female -headed households with children under 18 years of age and over 27 percent the female - headed households with children under 6 years of age lived below the poverty level in 2000. Although the City has a lower proportion of households living below the poverty level than the County, the City's anti -poverty strategy aims to: • Reduce the number of families on welfare; • Reduce the number of families needing housing subsidies; and • Increase economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons. 2. Poverty Reduction The City's anti -poverty strategy enhances the employability of residents through the provision of employment training and supportive services, while expanding employment opportunities for persons in poverty by creating/retaining jobs through redevelopment. Specifically, the City continues to support the Project Self - Sufficiency program. This program aims at assisting low income single parents with children to achieve economic independence from public assistance through personal development, education, and job training. Participants are encouraged to attend a monthly support meeting focusing on providing skills, abilities, and resources to promote self sufficiency. Project Self -Sufficiency maintains a food pantry and links participants with needed clothing, furniture, used computers, and cars. In addition, the City continues to fund literacy programs that help enhance the employability of low income persons with reading problems. Other economic development activities also work to retaining or creating jobs for Huntington Beach residents, including low income or poverty level residents.

Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needsfor the period covered by the strategic plan. z 1. Priorities and Specific Objectives Certain groups in the "non -homeless special needs" category are assigned a High Priority need level in the City of Huntington Beach's 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. This category includes persons in various subpopulations who are not homeless but may require housing or supportive services, including youth and at -risk youth, elderly, frail elderly, and persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families). Priorities and Objectives for non - homeless special needs groups are already addressed under the Community Development section. 2. Use of Local, State and Federal Resources Additional federal, State, local public- and private -sector resources likely to be available for addressing identified non -homeless special needs include CDBG and redevelopment housing set -aside funds. Additional resources, such as non-profit organizations, have been identified in the Community Development section in this document.

Estimate, to the extent practicable, the number of persons in various subpopulations that are not homeless but may require housing or supportive services, including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIVIAIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, victims of domestic violence, and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify and describe their supportive housing needs. The jurisdiction can use the Non -Homeless Special Needs Table (formerly Table 1 B) of their Consolidated Plan to help identify these needs. *Note: HOPWA recipients must identify the size and characteristics of the population with HIVIAIDS and their families that will be served in the metropolitan area. 2. Identify the priority housing and ,supportiveservice needs of persons who are not homeless but may or may; not require supportive housing, i.e., elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIVIAIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction by using the Non.- homeless Special Needs Table. 3. Describe' the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs.' 4. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 5. To the extent information is available, describe the facilities and services that assist persons who are not homeless but require supportive housing, and programs for ensuring` that persons returning from mental and physical health` institutions receive appropriate supportive housing. 6. If the jurisdiction plans to use HOME or other tenant based rental assistance to assist one or more of these subpopulations, it ,must justify the need for such assistance in the plan. *Please also refer to the Non -homeless Special Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook. 1. Non -Homeless Special Needs Groups The Housing Needs section of this document contains estimates of the nature and extent of housing and supportive service needs of special needs groups. The Other Narrative section also contains additional trends regarding special needs groups. In addition, Appendix contains the Non -Homeless Special Needs Table that illustrates the number of persons in various subpopulations that are not homeless but may require housing or supportive services in the City. 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan HB -91);- Item 20. - 224 OF HUNTINGTONtbstaritaalAmetidtnent"No. dour 2. Priority Non -Homeless Special Needs Groups Appendix B contains the Non -Homeless Special Needs Table that illustrates the priority housing and supportive service needs of special needs persons who are not homeless. Non -homeless special needs priorities are also addressed in the Community Development Needs Section of this document. 3. Basis for Assigning Priorities The Community Development Needs Assessment Survey is one of the methods by which the City determined priority community development needs for the next five years. Other methods include demographic and empirical data analysis, interviews with staff and service providers, and direct input by residents and stakeholders during public meetings. 4. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Need Funding availability is a key obstacle to meeting the underserved need. Public service dollars from CDBG funds are limited to 15 percent of the annual allocation. Typically, the request for assistance far exceeds the amount of funds available and allowable to be expended on services. 5. Supportive Housing Facilities and Services According to the California State Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, 59 facilities with a capacity of 757 persons to serve those with special needs see (Table 29). Definitions for the types of facilities listed above are as follows: ■ Adult Day Care Facilities (ADCF) are facilities of any capacity that provide programs for frail elderly and developmentally disabled and/or mentally disabled adults in a day care setting. ■ Adult Residential Facilities (ARF) are facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non -medical care for adults ages 18 through 59, who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. Adults may be physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, and/or mentally disabled.

They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans. The facilities provide services to persons 60 years of age and over and persons under 60 with compatible needs. RCFEs may also be known as assisted living facilities, retirement homes and board and care homes. The facilities can range in size from six beds or less to over 100 beds. Group Homes are facilities of any capacity and provide 24-hour non -medical care and supervision to children in a structured environment. Group Homes provide social, psychological, and behavioral programs for troubled youths. Small Family Homes (SFH) provide 24-hour-a-day care in the licensee's family residence for six or fewer children who are mentally disabled, developmentally disabled, or physically handicapped, and who require special care and supervision as a result of such disabilities. 6. HOME and Other Tenant -Based Rental Assistance Beginning in September 2015, and carried forward into FY 2015-16, the City, in partnership with Interval House, will implement a Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program which will provide short and medium -term rental assistance as well as housing relocation and stabilization services for 20 homeless and at -risk homeless households in Huntington Beach. The TBRA Program will meet the City's investment criteria by dedicating program assistance to homeless households with incomes at or below 30% AMI with preference to veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence. HOME funds in the amount of $411,758 will be allocated to this program. In addition, the City utilizes HOME funds to acquire and rehabilitate or construct new affordable housing units for low and moderate income households. By partnering with CHDOs the Economic Development Department will use HOME funds to support the ongoing need to expand affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income households. The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program is a key tenant -based rental assistance program offered in Huntington Beach through the Housing Authority of Orange County. 1ousn9lpPrtunt es #olr People with AIc�,HoarAp 1.

It needs to continue to look at the seniors' needs. ■ Notice in H20/Trash bills for: 1) Dog ownership requirements 2) Picking up after dog (at least 6 times per year) 3) Leash attached to dog while walking dog (12 times per year) 4) Fines/penalties for violations noted above ■ Removal of trees that cause sidewalk/street eruptions Removal of trees that shed those hard triangle shape droppings Fill pot holes in streets Extend libraries hours & computers for citizens Pass ordinance to ban dogs in parks or make designated areas • I do feel street and sidewalk repair should be a priority. Some of our major side streets are in pitiful condition! ■ Activity Directors: Exercise & planned activities beyond (outreaching) senior center - bring into communities....to senior housing • With everyone short of money it would have been better to spend $250,000 on feeding the homeless and providing medical for people that don't have any or fixing streets or helping poor people clean up yards, fix houses with paint or a roof. Instead we have 5 min on T.V. with a rose float. ■ Low Cost senior housing is really needed. Please help seniors. ■ I would like to see some of the 3 million the city received from the sale of Emerald Cove spent toward the new senior center &/or repair of the pitted streets in H.B. Well I can dream, Can't I? ■ These are all very necessary items and choices were difficult ■ It is well over 10 yrs that the sidewalks on Angler Lane have been in Extreme Disrepair and just as long since the grant pine trees on Edinger have been trimmed. ■ Many drains are partially closed and accumulate leaves and garbage. It has been like this for years. When storm drains are not cleared before a storm it causes flooding onto private lawns and driveways. No one seems to care. • STOP the city from using an outside city company for printing and mailing our utility bills FOR YEARS • Several years ago Palisade Drive residents signed a petition to have the awful trees and sidewalks and curbs replaced. In the past few months three homes at 6062, 6072, and 6181 have had that work done. However, my home at 6031, one of the worse and a danger to pedestrians has had nothing done. What must I do to get some action? Shouldn't we all be treated equally? Sincerely, Mary S. Tracy ■ Controlling rent for senior housing. Not all H.B. residents qualify for housing assistance yet are in need. H.B. Villas senior apartment on Springdale charges exorbitant rent amounts for seniors with accommodations that are very lacking. Rents are out of control. ■ I lived in my home in Hunt. Bch. since 1963. I believe that this N.W. Corner of the city is generally ignored in its cares and needs. The focus is on the South Bch. Area. Bolsa Chica, a main entrance to the City, looks tacky; it also has many high speed accidents. McFadden Ave. Shakes with very large trucks 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan Item 20. - 243 HB -1014- OF • Substantial Atnendir�entNc�. c>ar all day, everyday even though a small signal Bolsa Chica signal says "No Trucks." The senior center is at the other end of the city - poorly located and way too small. N.W. Hunt. Bch. should be as important as all other areas of the city. ■ All these services (of which there are a lot!!!) require administrators and staff - that's where most of the money goes, unfortunately; so what's left trickles down to.....? ■ More police patrols to manage traffic violations (running stop signs - use of cell phones) etc. Check the adjustment of timing for traffic lights - you waste a lot of gas waiting for lights to change from red to green. Fix streets etc. ■ Repaving of streets and of many pot holes around Huntington Beach. Need more done to help the homeless animals in Huntington Beach Animal Shelter. ■ New management badly needed at the RSC and Senior Serve Lunch Program. Grouchy old women need not apply. Lunch Mgr. Mrs. Pat Mullins needs to stop telling seniors there is a $3.50 charge for lunch when in fact it is free for seniors 60 and over. It is federally funded under a 42 USC Title Program ■ The sidewalks in So. H.B. are always dirty & full of leaves. There does not appear to be any program to take care of this. The senior center is a joke. Talk, talk, talk - no action. Why not use one of our empty schools. ■ Carr Park - Corner Heil & Springdale (A "Speed Zone" now) SLOW IT DOWN 2) Foot traffic from North Heil Residents Impossible and Dangerous 3) Sidewalk access Duchess & Christy & repair gutters on both sides 4) Construct small community access bldg for neighborhood meets ■ Trim trees & remove. We have to pay to remove City of HB trees in parkways. ■ need a new senior center ■ After living in HB for 41 years, we have noticed the repeated need to replace curbside trees and sidewalks because the trees planted there weren't properly chosen to fit the intended planting space. Wht can't the city stop wasting money and either not plant trees so their roots lift sidewalks or plant a suitable type of tree. Just when trees become a beautiful addition to the landscape, they must be taken out. ■ Low cost senior housing & a new larger senior center. Please hurry. ■ Needs a code restricting large boats and motor homes from permanently being parked in driveways. (1) they are a hazard and dangerously obstruct ones vision of oncoming traffic when trying to pull out of ones driveway; and (2) they are an eye sore and give neighborhoods a "campground" look. If they can afford these luxuries, then put them in/on a dock or storage facility. They are a hazard and an eye sore!! We need our driveways for cars not toys. Lets clean up these neighborhoods!! ■ Think about child care housed at libraries. Literacy classes are of highest importance!! ■ More programs for learn English. ■ Literacy services provided by the library are very important and provide a vital service for the community. ■ Sidewalks are in dire need of replacement on Fantasia especially. Tree roots are making sidewalks unsafe for people - handicapped or unsteady (seniors) to trip and fall. (Also Operetta and Opera are in bad shape) ■ we need more schools in other countries. ■ more money to buy things that we need. ■ Sidewalk flattened where there are cracks ■ This survey was really bad. Five -Year Strategic Plan 1 2010 - 2014 HB -1015- Item 20. - 244 Scibstariiial Amendrrnt "N0. Four OF • ■ In view of budget issues, maximum effort should be focused on reducing or eliminating costs associated with benefits for illegal immigrants. ■ something needs to be done for those of us considered low income in this city but yet have families we are raising here and we work here in the city as well so that we can afford a decent house in a good area of the city. ■ Downtown parking fees need to be waived during holidays for shopping and after 6pm all other days, your killing all the merchants downtown. Cost me an extra five dollars just to have dinner. ■ police presence Drive city wide often, no police seen whole trip. Speed traps are not a crime. ■ Affordable Housing should be mixed into regular income developments, not an entire section or development strictly focused on low -moderate income so as to avoid "Project Housing environments" ■ It's not necessary to spend every penny you get. Cut spending. You should have had a category that said no funds spent. ■ We do not need additional low- and moderate income housing. We need to help increase / maintain existing property values. We need to court businesses that provide sales tax revenue. ■ would love to have all pine trees removed throughout city and clean up Bolsa Chica from Mcfadden to Warner... one uniform brick wall 8'high ■ Why do we have affordable housing, there is no such thing in Beverly Hills! Most people worked hard to buy a house in HB, now you want poor people to live at the beach and have gangs. ■ no more bars are needed in areas that are adjacent to family housing! ■ Desperate need for housing resources for youth ages 18 to 24, a lot of homeless youth in this age group. Need a transitional living and emergency shelter. Need awareness by police that these youth should be helped not cited. ■ Educational assistance - helping others help themselves, example Project Self -Sufficiency ■ Need financing for a new senior center. Old building now has no hot water in bathrooms, plumbing problems constantly, waiting list for room for different services and activities, etc. Very outdated for the 21st century and a wealthy town like Huntington Beach! ■ The city does not need to be involved in all these social services. Safety, streets, water, sewer, parks community centers ■ Literacy programs are a very important need in this city that no one else is doing... the city must fund these programs! ■ Mandated volunteer program for High School students. Mandatory Uniforms for all public school as that rule will allow parents to provide better homes and students will be focused on education during school time. • Initiate global rates vendor contracts for HB residence -- like all HB residence should be able to go ONE vendor for roofing as city has negotiated the great price.... similar goes for all energy efficient vendors. If you need help - -I am happy to help THANK YOU. ■ There's no provision here for the Literacy programs in the library. They are important programs I would've ranked high! ■ Considering the needs of an aging population has to be a priority. If you do not plan now for the future with accessibility, handicapped parking, senior housing, healthcare facilities and a larger modern senior center you will be 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan Item 20. - 245 NB -1 0 1 6- OF • = a)mendment`Ns�cr short changing what we know will be a significant percentage of the population in 10- 15 years. ■ Support for literacy program run in our public libraries. This helps individuals and families improve. This service prepares people for advancement in school, training and employment. Money spent here for improvement makes a difference in our community. The return is greater than the investment. ■ Literacy programs should get some more funding. ■ HB City Library Family Literacy Program - There is no higher -leverage place for Community Development dollars. Please continue to support this tremendously effective program! Thank you. ■ We need more Senior facilities since our Senior population will almost double in the next 10 years. ■ Family and Adult Literacy Programs. Please continue to fund this very important program. ■ expand the needs of library services for literacy programs ■ We need continued support to improve literacy programs in the community! ■ We need to continue to offer ESL and literacy programs ■ Literacy skills for Families in the City of HB. Library Services, too. ■ Measure T 's passing approved the location for the new senior center. It's good to see the city is going to appeal courts unpopular decision as the number of seniors is forecast to increased by 20% by 2020. Central Park is the perfect location and is city owned. Go forth and Thank You! ■ Need Adult Education classes & an updated Senior center with "work-out" facilities. It is paramount to keep our increasing older population mentally and physically healthy. They, in turn, when nurtured are of great assistance to the City, their families and community. It is important to keep a healthy, vital age group which, which in turn, will stave off a financial drain on the community because of bad physical and mental health. Healthy energetic seniors tend to volunteer their services more and benefit the City of Huntington Beach, their children grandchildren, library, literacy, hospital and community services. Volunteers save money and are a boon to the economy and foundation to a city. They have the time, wealth of experience and desire to give back to the community. ■ Need a NEW retirement center - like Landmark but updated like in other cities - we are behind the times in HB - have many friends "trapped" in large houses that would like to downsize and would love updated- active living for over 55 or 60! Also would make more "houses" available for young families! ■ I am very supportive of accessible, AFFORDABLE high quality child care services. Research indicates that investments made for our youngest children (birth through 5 years of age) will benefit our local economy a 10% rate of return. These investments reduce crime, increase the child's readiness for elementary school, creates productive citizens for our city and stimulates the economy. For more information about the benefits in high quality child care services (early childhood education) please visit www.heckmanequation.org ■ I think the literacy program at the public Library is important, but I didn't see it mentioned. ■ Provide grafitti removal on city property (like in alleys) when the person who called the complaint in is not home. We should not have to wait for this service. Also, code enforcement needs to be more proactive in the alleys. There are rental units with garages that are falling apart into the alleys. Thank you! ■ Old houses on A&B streets needing code enforcement for cleaning up. Five -Year Strategic Plan 1 2010 - 2014 11B -101 7- Item 20. - 246 J substantial Amendm Nb. Our BEACH] ■ A couple homes on Blaylock Dr need code enforcement - 8192 old inoperable cars stored in driveway, on trailers. Driveway in need of repair, broken and dangerous, out near sidewalk. Home at 8181 has trash, junk, trash cans, baby furniture etc spread out in the front yard. ■ Build the new senior center, or do some upgrading, and clean up of the existing center. ■ Thank you ■ The Oak View Community appreciates the ongoing support of the City we have received. We feel we've made considerable improvement over the past few years but without continued collaborative and financial support it is unlikely we will be able to maintain the level of success we have achieved. Please continue to help us. Thank you. ■ Services to help people trying to get off of welfare with support, counseling, education, etc. The proposed Senior Center is a high need. ■ JOBS! ■ A volunteer program to empower citizens and provide means to help others without monetary expenditure. Would like to create a widespread community service project and work with other volunteer groups to host a day of service in Huntington Beach and nearby cities. ■ Clase de Ingle es muy importante ■ Para mejor hambiente en la comunidad mi opinion des que se cambiara el rainbow ave lugar mas alejado de la comunidad. ■ Dar prioridad para las personas discapacitadas ayuda de vivienda, que a las que to nesecitas pero pueden trabajar. ■ Classes de ingles para adultes, matematica ■ Es muy importante tuer alfabetizacion para adultor.

They are currently in the process of preparing the Analysis of Imepdiments to Fair Housing Choice and need funding to address private sector impediments they are identifying. With the recent changes in economic conditions, they actually have less demand as rental housing providers are less stringent with tenants and renters are less likely to complain. Project Self -Sufficiency Spoke with Janeen Laudenbeck on June 1, 2010 Senior services and Project Self -Sufficiency housing is becoming more of a concern than five years ago. There is a lack of affordable housing in the community. Their program aims for self-sufficiency but they need to provide stable housing for long term goals and that is becoming more and more difficult to find. Senior Outreach Care Management Spoke with Randy Pesqueira on May 19, 2010 Senior Outreach Care Management provides care management to low-income seniors and frail elderly. They serve people age 85 and older, which is an increasing population. They only help people living independently and work to help them stay independent as long as possible. The challenges they face include medical costs, living expenses and transportation accessibility. The biggest need is housing in general, including assistance with housing costs and moving assistance as many seniors downsize. The availability of suitable housing as well as the cost of transitioning are the key issues. Community SeniorServ, Inc. Congregate Meals Program and Home Delivered Meals Spoke with Dustin Manhart on May 24, 2010 Community SeniorSery serves adults over age 60, most of which are low income. They have two programs, the home delivered meals and congregate care meals. Five -Year Strategic Plan 1 2010 - 2014 Is HB _ 102 i - Item 20. - 250 aubstatilrnendrnt No. FourFCITY OF • Home delivered meals are provided to the City to distribute through the case management with volunteers. They provide three meals a day, five days a week on a donation basis. Congregate Care meals are served in a social atmosphere to foster social interaction with peers (one hot lunch a day is available five days a week on a donation basis). The biggest need Community SeniorSery sees is with their in -home services for assistance with personal care, housekeeping and household chores for seniors living alone. They do not provide this service in Huntington Beach because Care Management provides it. They estimate about 150 people on their waiting list for services. Huntington Beach Public Library, Family Literacy Program Spoke with Amy Crepeau on May 19, 2010 The Family Literacy Program works with families to provide English literacy to mainly adults with additional programming for pre-school age kids and parents together. Their clients are non-native English speakers (mostly Spanish speakers) who are not literate in their native language as well. The population is extremely low and love income from the Title I school next door. Their clients are having difficulty finding work and being able to afford food and housing costs. Access to low income housing is a problem for most program participants. Their space is filled to capacity and they maintain a waiting list with about 40 people on it. In addition to tutoring they also have a computer lab with language software that people on the waiting list can use until they are able to have a tutor. Ideally they would like to see an expansion in space and hire more tutors. Alzheimer's Family Services Center (AFSC), Family Dementia Services, Huntington Beach Spoke with Dr. Cordula Dick-Muehlke on June 2, 2010 There is a need for services for people with Alzheimer's and Dementia and it is a growing need. The population with dementia is going to double by 2010 and it is currently approximately 12 percent of the population over age 65. They need to help people in the early stages of dementia and those living alone with dementia. AFSC recently started a support group for people in the early stages and have noticed more people living along attending. They hope this need is identified as a priority need in Huntington Beach. The additional information below was provided via email: According to the most recent American Community Survey for the City of Huntington Beach (2008), there are approximately 26,122 seniors, age 65 and up, residing in Huntington Beach. According to the Alzheimer's Association's 2010 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures Report, 13 percent of individuals over 65 have Alzheimer's disease. This means that today, at least 3,395 Huntington Beach citizens have Alzheimer's disease. We also know that the majority (70 percent or more) of people with Alzheimer's disease are cared for at home by family caregivers. According to research, at least two close family members are involved in the care of any one individual with Alzheimer's disease. That means for the 3,395 Huntington Beach citizens with Alzheimer's disease today, another 6,790 family members are serving as caregivers. In total, at least 10,185 individuals (affected by Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers) are coping with Alzheimer's in Huntington Beach. Alzheimer's disease emotionally, physically, and financially devastating. It threatens the economic well-being of families. The total annual economic impact of caring for a loved one with dementia is at least $42,586 and includes an average of $33,007 in health and long-term care costs plus 863 hours of unpaid care valued at $9,579 (Alzheimer's Association, California Council, 2009). 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan Item 20. - 251 HB -11022- OF • - Siubstantial Ame4diment�i6. P6ur It is critical for families to have access to the affordable care that AFSC offers. As background, at AFSC, participants receive up to 10 hours of care daily for only $95, with families paying an average of $79, and some as little as $53 per day through our scholarship program. Support from the City of Huntington Beach helps to cover the gap between what it actually costs us to provide care ($146 per day) and what families can pay (i.e., the $79 on average). Altamed Health Services - Community Care Health Centers Spoke with Sharon Weisfenning on June 1, 2010 They have seen an increase of people without insurance in general. They are also sending more parents and their kids to nutrition classes for obesity and have new wellness clinic dedicated to childhood obesity. They are seeing childhood obesity as a growing problem. Straight Talk Clinic, Inc - Program Helping Hearts Spoke with Shelly M. Lummus on May 24, 2010 Program Helping Hearts is a food program for the underprivileged providing fresh food to anyone that needs it. They provide food for mostly working and middle class families. Food is donated from local grocery stores and they work with the local community to establish distribution centers. Local residents know where to come to obtain food on a set schedule. They operate on grants, donations and volunteers and distribute mostly through churches. Program Helping Hears currently operates in Santa Ana, Orange, Irvine, and Anaheim. They applied for Huntington Beach CDBG last year and did not get it. They wanted to provide food in Huntington Beach through the Community Center but another food program was already distributing out of that location. Helping Hearts is currently unable to distribute food in Huntington Beach because of the lack of a place to do it through. Program Helping Hearts has noticed an increase in the number of people in need. They often run out of food and grocery stores are getting better at adjusting their inventories to the economy so they have less food left to donate. Program Helping Hearts needs more food donations and distribution centers.

Janeen Laudenback Community Services Department( City of Huntington Beach Office. 714-536,5496 From: Robert 0. Dettloff [mailto.rodetdoff@socal.rr.com1 Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2010 3:02 PM TO: Laudenback, Janeen; Scott Neill Subject PSSF letter to City Council Below is the letter I e-mailed, today, to each individual member of the City Council and Fred Wilson. Dear City Council Member, On behalf of the PSS Foundation Board, I would like to thank you for your post and continued support for the Project Self Sufficiency program through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The PSS Foundation Board would like to encourage you to follow the CPAB recommendation of $10000 CI)BGfunding for the Project Self Sufficiency program for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. As you know, PSS has been a part of this community for nearly 25 years and will be celebrating its 25th anniversary on October 1, 2010. During this time, the city has developed a public -private partnership with the PSS Foundation where the city provides staffing for the program and the Foundation provides direct resources to the program participants, In 2009 staff secured additional funding for P55 through the Homeless Prevention and Rapid -rehousing Program (HPRP). HPRP funding, combined with requested $10, 000 CDBG funding, community collaborations, and fund-raising will provide for approximately two additional years of program oversight for Project Self Sufficiency. While the PSS Foundation is willing and able to assist the City's PSS program, we need to feel confident that the dollars we solicit from the community are spent where they will support those participants who really are dedicated to follow the rules and complete their education in the shortest time possible. 7 2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan Item 20. - 253 HB - 1024- [CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH] IM-M a - 1 0 0 Therefore, It is vitally important that there is sufficient City Staff to oversee the PSS Program so that both City and PSS Foundation resources are spent where needed. I would like to stress the importance of the continued support from the CDBG program at the $10,000 level as recommended by the CPAS for the 2010-2011. Losing funding would limit the ability of the program to continue to provide needed case management for participant families- The PSS Foundation appreciates that PSS is still a CM -funded program, and it is our desire that this funding continue for the 20102011 fiscal year.

Fifth Program Year Action {T Plan ,v N D E k' This document represents the Fifth Annual Action Plan for the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan for the City of Huntington Beach. The CPMP Fifth Annual Action Plan includes the SF 424 and Narrative Responses to Action Plan questions that the City of Huntington Beach must respond to each year as a CDBG and HOME grantee in order to be compliant with the Consolidated Planning Regulations. Executive Summary The goal of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in requiring state and local agencies to prepare a Consolidated Plan is to assist communities in developing a collaborative process whereby the community establishes a unified vision for community development actions. The 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan (for FY 2010- 2011 through FY 2014-2015) was approved by the City Council of Huntington Beach in August 2010 (amended September 2015), and this Annual Action Plan for FY 2014-2015 outlines the intended use of HUD funds towards meeting the defined needs in the five- year Consolidated Plan. The FY 2014-2015 Action Plan provides a basis for assessing performance, and serves as an application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). The total amount of CDBG funds allocated through this Plan is $963,901 (a 3-percent or $32,778 decrease from the FY 2013-2014 allocation of $996,679). The HOME allocation is $410,677 (a 4-percent or $15,226 increase from the FY 2013-2014 allocation of $395,451). It should be noted, however, that both grant allocations are still well below allocations received over the last 5 years. The overall priorities for the Consolidated Plan are to use these federal funds to: 1) increase self-sufficiency and economic opportunity for low- and moderate -income residents and individuals with special needs so that they can achieve a reasonable standard of living; and 2) enhance suitable living environments and promote economic opportunities. National objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD are the basis for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be allocated. The following are the performance objectives that form the foundation for allocation of investments in Huntington Beach: ■ Enhance suitable living environments; ■ Create decent and affordable housing; and ■ Promote economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate -income households. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 ' F-iB -1 07- Item 20. - 266 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 0 M The City has incorporated outcome measures for activities in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006. Projects are required to meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at least one of the following: ■ Availability/Accessibility; • Affordability; and ■ Sustainability (Promoting Livable or Viable Communities). In addition to performance objectives and outcome measures, the City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the service delivery system. While other goals the City has set are also important, for the purposes of the Consolidated Plan, only those which are anticipated to be funded with CPD funding programs (CDBG and HOME) during the five-year planning cycle are discussed in detail in this document. The City utilizes other funding sources to meet a variety of other goals set by the City. The City has established priorities for allocating CDBG and HOME funds based on a number of criteria, including urgency of needs, cost efficiency, eligibility of activities and programs, availability of other funding sources to address specific needs, funding program limitations, capacity and authority for implementing actions, and consistency with citywide goals, policies, and efforts.

Geographic Areas Huntington Beach is an urbanized coastal community located in northwestern Orange County, California. Much of the City's residentially designated land has already been developed. Future residential development rests primarily upon the recycling of existing parcels and infill development. Surrounding Huntington Beach are the cities of Seal Beach to the northwest, Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the east, Newport Beach to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. The geographic distribution of Huntington Beach's proposed projects for FY 2014-2015 is as follows: ■ Public facilities and improvements funded by the CDBG program are focused in eight Enhancement Areas. These Enhancement Areas were established based on the 2000 Census income data. The 2010 Census does not contain income data and HUD has not yet updated the income eligibility data based on the American Community Survey (ACS) data. To determine project eligibility, the HUD standard is the area served by the improvements must contain 51 percent or more of low -moderate income population as determined by census data. Due to the higher incomes in the area, the City of Huntington Beach has the exception criteria of 40.3 percent low - moderate income for projects that would serve that particular area. The eight Enhancement Areas, based upon the 40.3 percent exception criteria established by HUD, designated as priority areas for CDBG activities were approved by City Council on December 15, 2003. They are named: Bolsa-Chica Heil; Goldenwest; Washington; Oakview; Newland; Garfield; Yorktown; and Adams. These eight Enhancement Areas are shown on the following maps. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 269 11B -1040- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Although these are the priority areas, affordable housing is needed citywide. Figure 1 illustrates the Enhancement Areas. Keeping the national objectives of the CDBG program in mind, project eligibility review is based upon the type of activity and the clientele served. A project is evaluated on either the 51 percent low -moderate income population for facilities and services located within the broader community or upon the exception criteria for projects limited in scope to the Enhancement Areas. ■ Supportive services are available citywide to low- and moderate -income residents and persons with special needs. • Housing programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds are available to low- and moderate -income persons on a citywide basis. ■ Administrative and fair housing services are available on a citywide basis. All of the proposed projects benefit the low-income population based either on census data, client intake data, or based upon a presumed benefit population (such as the frail elderly or persons with disabilities).

Basis for Allocating Investments The basis for assigning priority need levels for categories is through evaluation of available information, review and assessment from the various city staff departments involved with the issues, recommendations and subsequent approval by City Council. Furthermore, as discussed in the Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment section, cost burden, severe cost burden, overcrowding, and substandard units affect a significant number of extremely low, low- and moderate -income renter -households. The City of Huntington Beach has developed a Strategic Plan to guide City development. The Council's overall vision is expressed via strategic objectives updated every three years and reviewed every six months, with the latest update in January 2014. Mission Statement: The City of Huntington Beach provides sustainable quality services to maintain and enhance our safe and vibrant community. - Improve the City's infrastructure - Improve long-term financial stability - Maintain public safety - Enhance economic development - Enhance quality of life. The Priority Needs identified in the City's 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan will be the basis for allocating investments geographically within the City during the five-year period. These priorities are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation meeting developed under the Citizen Participation process. The established priorities are: Priority Housing Needs ■ Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single -Family and Multi -Family Dwelling Units. ■ Assist Low- and Moderate -Income Households in Securing Affordable Homeownership Opportunities. ■ Promote Equal Housing Opportunity. ■ Improve and Preserve Neighborhood Conditions. ■ Expand and Preserve Affordable Housing Opportunities. Priority Homeless Needs ■ Provide Assistance to the Homeless and Persons At -Risk of Becoming Homeless. Priority Community Development Needs ■ Provide and Improve Community Services for Low- and Moderate -Income Persons and Those with Non -Homeless Special Needs. ■ Improve and Expand Community Facilities and Infrastructure to Meet Current and Future Needs. ■ Provide for Necessary Planning and Administration Activities to Address the Housing and Community Development Needs in the City. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 275 I-IB -1046- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 'IIII'IV, I'll ■ Promote Economic Development and Employment Opportunities for Low- and Moderate -Income Households. Activities assigned with a High or Medium Priority level in the Consolidated Plan will receive funding during 2010-2015. Furthermore, approximately 15 percent of each years' allocation will be used for public services meeting the low to moderate income clientele benefit; 20 percent of funds will be used for planning and administration costs; and 65 percent of funds will be used for various facility improvements, infrastructure improvements, and blight removal projects to benefit low to moderate income areas. Objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD provide the foundation for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be allocated. The following are the objectives that guide the allocation of investments in Huntington Beach: ■ Enhance suitable living environments; ■ Create decent and affordable housing; and ■ Promote economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate -income households Projects are required to meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at least one of the following: ■ Availability/Accessibility; ■ Affordability; and • Sustainability (Promoting Livable or Viable Communities) Table 3 outlines how the objectives are related to the performance outcomes used to measure specific annual objectives. 4. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs The most significant obstacle to meeting underserved housing needs is the lack of sufficient funds and lack of available vacant land. While the need for services, assistance, and improvements continues to grow, the level of funding available to address these needs continues to diminish. As a primarily built out community, the City has relatively few vacant lots to facilitate large-scale residential development. Infill development and recycling of existing lots require the consolidation of smaller lots that can be challenging. As a desirable community in which to live, land cost and housing prices have risen significantly. Few affordable housing developers are able to compete with for -profit developers in the market for the limited properties available. Many of the obstacles to increasing the number of affordable housing units in Huntington Beach are discussed in the Housing Market Analysis. These obstacles include land -use Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 HB -1047_ Item 20. - 276 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH and zoning regulations, development fees, and state and federal legislation. The most significant obstacle to meeting underserved housing needs is the lack of sufficient funds and lack of available vacant land. This is true for any governmental agency or non-profit developer trying to assist low-income families. Moreover, as the disparity between wages and housing increases, the number of persons unable to maintain their own housing costs increases. 5. Federal, State and Local Resources Available Federal resources available to address the needs of the community include HUD entitlement grants: CDBG funds in the amount of $963,901 and HOME funds in the amount of $410,677 for FY 2014-2015. As the City is within the Orange County Housing Authority's jurisdiction, over 900 Huntington Beach residents are provided Section 8 housing vouchers. The City will continue to use CDBG funding to support public service agencies that address the needs of Huntington Beach's underserved populations and will continue to seek additional resources to meet priority needs. However, entitlement grants have not kept up with inflation and have been reduced over the years, further decreasing funds available to provide services and meet the City's needs. Without sufficient public or private funds, such as Low -Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) or other development financing, to help leverage a project, City resources are often not enough to make a project feasible. With the dissolution of the redevelopment agency pursuant to State law, Huntington Beach, along with all California jurisdictions with redevelopment agencies, is faced with a significant loss in redevelopment funds for housing and community development activities. Therefore, the City will continue to explore new funding sources, programs, and opportunities to partner with the private sector and local non -profits. For example, the City has partnered with American Family Housing (AFH) to provide rental assistance to low income households through AFH's Supportive Housing Program (SHP) funds awarded by HUD. HOME funds were used as a matching grant for operating costs for AFH in administering the SHP rental assistance program. =nFaff!", 1.

Lead Agency The City's Office of Business Development is the lead agency responsible for overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and this Action Plan. Staff members from Planning, Community Services, Police, Public Works and Library Services participate in the development process of the plan. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 KNIN Item 20. - 277 I1B -1048- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 2. Plan Development Process Outreach efforts were undertaken by the City to solicit input in the development of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan (2010-2015). In developing the Annual Action Plan for FY 2014-2015, and its October 20, 2014 Substantial Amendment, the City conducted a number of public meetings as described below: Public Hearings: The City conducted two public hearings on February 6, 2014 at the Oak View Library and on March 6, 2014 at the City Hall to discuss housing and community development needs and how the City's CDBG and HOME funds should be expended during FY 2014-2015. Additional hearings were held to solicit input on community needs before the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) - on April 3, 2014, May 1, 2014, and May 22, 2014. Additionally, a joint study session was held with the City Council and CPAB on June 2, 2014 to review CPAB and staff recommendations for funding for FY 2014-2015. A second public hearing before the City Council to adopt the Action Plan was conducted on July 21, 2014. Proof of publication for public hearings, meetings, and general outreach efforts can be found in Appendices D and E. The FY 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan was posted on the City's website, and at City Hall (Office of Business Development, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach), Central Library (7111 Talbert Avenue, Huntington Beach), and Oak View Family and Community Center (17261 Oak Lane, Huntington Beach). Copies were also available for review by requesting in person or by telephone, fax, or e-mail. The comment period will be offered for a 30-day period from June 18, 2014 to July 18, 2014 and one public hearing was conducted on July 21, 2014 to adopt the Annual Action Plan. Substantial Amendment No. One: On September 18, 2014 and September 25, 2014, a public notice was published in the Huntington Beach Independent to initiate a 30-day public review and to announce a scheduled public hearing on October 20, 2014 to consider Substantial Amendment No. One to the FY 2014-15 Annual Action Plan, and Substantial Amendment No. Three to the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. The Substantial Amendment proposes to approve $305,000 in HOME funds for the rehabilitation of a nine -unit multi -family rental complex at 313 11th Street, Huntington Beach, subject to an Affordable Housing Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC). The apartments are currently owned by OCCHC and the units are used to house Project Self Sufficiency program participants. The Proof of Publication can be found in Appendices D and E. Additionally, on September 30, 2014 a total of $37,223 was allocated separately for project delivery costs associated with the predevelopment and ongoing administration of the rehabilitation project at 313 11th Street. Pursuant to the City's Citizen Participation Plan, this additional allocation did not constitute a substantial amendment. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 I= NH -1049- Item 20. - 278 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Following approval of Substantial Amendment No. One, the City was notified that the amount allocated for the 2014-15 Section 108 Loan Payment was overestimated by $28,014; therefore the allocation for the Section 108 Loan Payment was reduced to $198,015 accordingly. This adjustment also did not trigger a substantial amendment per the City's approved Citizen Participation Plan. Further, on May 28, 2015, a total of $90,000 was allocated separately to the Huntington Beach Police Department Limited ADA Improvements Project for additional funds needed to complete the eligible improvements. These funds were available from the City's unprogrammed CDBG funds. Pursuant to the City's Citizen Participation Plan, this additional allocation did not constitute a substantial amendment. Amendment Number Three: On August 20, 2015 and August 27, 2015, a public notice was published in the Orange County Register to initiate a 30-day public review and to announce a scheduled public hearing on September 21, 2015 to consider Amendment No. Three to the FY 2014-15 Annual Action Plan, and Amendment No. Four to the 2010- 2014 Consolidated Plan. The Amendment proposes to allocate $411,758 in HOME funds to the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program which will provide short- and medium - term rental assistance, as well as housing relocation and stabilization services for 20 homeless and at -risk of being homeless households in Huntington Beach. The Proof of Publication can be found in the Appendices. 3. Coordination During FY 2014-2015, annual monitoring and training of sub -recipients will continue to enhance coordination between public and private housing, health, and social service agencies. Sub -recipient training will be scheduled during the first quarter of the fiscal year. As follow-up to the quarterly reporting, monitoring of the sub -recipients will take place in the third and fourth quarters of FY 2014-2015. The City's monitoring and reporting procedures are in compliance with Federal regulations. Staff also regularly attends the Oakview Task Force meeting at which several of the social service providers and City services are coordinated. On a regional level, the City participates in the Orange County Cities Advisory Committee, responsible for the regional Continuum of Care strategy. 1.

Citizen Participation Process The Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) is an advisory board to City Council, and holds Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 279 IJB -1050- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH hearings on community needs and reviews all eligible applications for CDBG funds. The board meets with CDBG applicants, and subsequently provides funding recommendations to City Council on the CDBG program. CPAB members are recruited throughout the community with a special emphasis on attracting low -moderate income residents to serve on the board. In order for the CPAB to be more familiar with the CDBG program, every other year staff and CPAB tour the facilities and locations where the CDBG activities are being conducted and proposed. The Citizen Participation Plan for the CDBG and HOME programs was approved by City Council of Huntington Beach in August 2005 and subsequently amended in 2007, 2009, and 2012 to address criteria and process for substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. 2. Comments Received The City conducted three Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) public meetings on February 6, 2014, March 6, 2014, April 3, 2014, May 1, 2014, and May 22, 2014 to discuss housing and community development needs in the City. On June 2, 2014, the City conducted a study session before the City Council and CPAB. A public hearing was held on July 21, 2014 to adopt the Action Plan. The comments received during these outreach efforts are summarized in Appendix E. 3. Efforts to Broaden Public Participation In an effort to broaden public participation in the development of the Annual Action Plan, a Spanish-speaking staff member was available at all public meetings for translation services if requested. Statements regarding the availability of special accommodations were printed on all written materials pertaining to the Annual Action Plan development. 4. Comments Not Accepted The City of Huntington Beach made every effort to respond to all relevant comments. All comments received were accepted. t11 1. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to develop institutional structure. 1. Institutional Structure Public Agencies The City of Huntington Beach strives to foster and maintain relationships with other agencies to establish an institutional structure that maximizes its resources. The City's Office of Business Development (previously known as the Economic Development Department) is the primary City department responsible for the implementation of the Consolidated Plan. Staff implements the Consolidated Plan activities through the following departments: Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 HB - 105 1 - Item 20. - 280 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Office of Business Development ■ Business Development Division — Oversees job creation, business retention, and business attraction efforts. ■ Housing Division - Recommends housing projects to City Council, conducts the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program, acquisition, and works with the City's Planning Department on Affordable Housing requirements for new construction. Planning Department ■ Planning — Oversees General Plan and zoning that regulate development within the City. ■ Code Enforcement - Provides special code enforcement in the Enhancement Areas and provides information to owners regarding the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. Building Department: • Building Department - Oversees the permitting process for all new construction, remodeling, and other required building codes and standards. This department is also responsible for land use planning, zoning and other land use controls. Community Services Department: ■ Community Services Department - Recommends to City Council prioritization of local service needs, including the provision of social services, shelter and homeless activities and appropriate service providers.

Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) The mission the CPAB is to submit recommendations to City Council on allocations for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The CPAB strives to represent diverse views on socioeconomic issues related to low- and moderate -income individuals. To that end, low-income residents and members of minority groups are encouraged to apply to the City for appointment to the CPAB when vacancies arise, so that members of minority groups can be substantially represented. Along with staff, the Board is responsible for assessing the needs of the community (particularly those of low- and moderate -income households), evaluating and prioritizing projects pertaining to the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and other City plans, and providing recommendations to City Council. Nonprofit Organizations In addition, the City works with a number of nonprofit organizations to provide affordable housing and support services. These include, but not limited to: • AIDS Services Foundation OC • Alzheimer's Family Services Center • American Family Housing ■ Children's Bureau • Collette's Children Home Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 281 xB-10521- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH • Community Care Health Centers • Community SeniorSery • Community Services Programs (CSP) ■ Fair Housing Foundation ■ Habitat for Humanity • Huntington Beach Council on Aging ■ Huntington Beach Library • Huntington Beach Senior Services • Interval Housing ■ Jamboree Housing ■ Project Self Sufficiency ■ Project Self Sufficiency Foundation 1. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to monitor its housing and community development projects and ensure long-term compliance with program requirements and comprehensive planning requirements. 1. Monitoring The City continues to refine its internal procedures and build its relationships with participating agencies to improve services to targeted populations. The City of Huntington Beach will monitor progress on activities carried out in furtherance of its Consolidated Plan to ensure long-term compliance with program requirements, reporting on project compliance, funding use, and compliance via the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The overall process begins with the development of needs and an Annual Plan. Through agreements with sub -recipients, both nonprofit and public agencies, and City departments, the Office of Business Development sets the stage by incorporating goal requirements and reporting procedures, by outlining specific objectives, timelines and budgets against which performance is measured. Monitoring should be directed toward programmatic, financial and regulatory performance. Primary objectives are (1) to ensure that sub-recipients/CHDOs comply with all pertinent regulations governing their administrative, financial and programmatic operations; (2) to ensure sub-recipients/CHDOs achieve their performance objectives within their program year and budget; and (3) to assess capabilities and/or any potential needs for training or technical assistance in these areas. All Projects and Programs Evaluation of housing and public service delivery systems is the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. The monitoring program has been designed to verify compliance with HUD eligibility guidelines, performance in reaching contract goals, determine if administrative and fiscal systems are adequate, and ensure compliance with other crosscutting federal regulations. Additionally, sub -recipients are required to either attend a "Sub -recipient Training Meeting," or meet with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Administrator Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 HB -i 055 Item 20. - 282 i CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH prior to the commencement of the CDBG program year. The purpose of the meetings are to: 1) provide an overview of the CDBG program — goals, objectives, Council action on funding, and sub -recipient obligations; 2) review the content of the sub -recipient agreements; and 3) review regulations related to the CDBG program which impact the sub -recipients in the implementation of their programs. The City also conducts formal on -site visits with, or desk audits of, sub -recipients annually. Staff utilizes a standardized monitoring checklist for each on -site visit or desk audit, which identifies specific items to be reviewed during the monitoring. Staff prepares a monitoring schedule in the first quarter of each program year, to ensure each sub -recipient is contacted for an annual monitoring visit. For the monitoring process, the following steps are observed: 1) Contact sub -recipient to schedule an on -site monitoring visit; 2) initially meet with appropriate sub -recipient officials to discuss sub -recipient's program and the scope of the site visit; 3) review documents such as intake applications to ensure that income, household size, ethnicity data, etc. are retrieved, and tour the facility; 4) conduct an exit conference and obtain clarification on matters (if necessary) and discuss outstanding performance issues; 5) provide feedback to sub -recipient (i.e. letter) and include deadline for responding to, or correcting, and deficiencies identified during the visit; 6) keep monitoring documentation in project files for each sub -recipient. 1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to evaluate and reduce the number of housing units containing lead -based paint hazards in order to increase the inventory of lead -safe housing available to extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate -income families, and how the plan for the reduction of lead -based hazards is related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards. 1. Actions to Evaluate and Reduce Lead -Based Paint The lead poison program is administered through the County of Orange Department of Health Services (DHS) - Epidemiology Division. DHS receives most of its referrals from the State Child Health Disability Program (CHDP) and from public health clinics for children. The CHDP Program requires that all physicians receiving funding from the program test all children less than five years of age for lead poisoning. This is accomplished by working with the Head Start, kindergarten, and state pre-schools. If lead poisoning is discovered, the case is turned over to DHS, who will follow up and determine proper treatment. For children with a blood lead level of 20 ug/dL or higher, the DHS sends a specialist for a home visit to evaluate the premise, educate the parents on how to eliminate the lead sources, provide information on nutrition and prevention of lead poisoning, and urge other children on the premise to be tested for lead. Additionally, the Planning Department is responsible for the environmental review of proposed projects. During this phase, if lead -based paint is discovered through the environmental review, then the developer would be responsible for the removal of lead - based paint. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 -M Item 20. - 283 HB-i0:14- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CDBG and HOME programs are required to comply with HUD's final regulation of September 15, 1999, imposing new requirements on certain housing units receiving CDBG and HOME assistance (24 CFR Part 35). Among other requirements, the new lead safety regulation requires CDBG or HOME grantees providing funds for rehabilitation, acquisition, and tenant -based rental assistance to perform clearance testing or clearance examination after certain lead hazard control activities. The City tests for lead hazards and reports in accordance with HUD's most recent standards. Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program To meet federal requirements, Huntington Beach provides lead -based paint information with each Rehabilitation Loan application packet. When it is discovered that lead -based paint is present, the owner of the property contracts for the lead -based paint removal. The cost of lead -based paint removal is an eligible activity under the Rehabilitation Loan Program. There are two types of loans: Single -Family Home Improvement Loans and Multi -Family Rental Housing Rehab Loans. For Single -Family Home Improvement Loans, the City will lend up to $75,000 to pay for rehabilitation costs for a single family home, townhouse, or condominium, and up to $15,000 for a mobile home. Grants are also available to low-income households whose estimated repair costs do not exceed $10,000. For the Multi -Family Rental Housing Rehab Loans, the City provides up to $75,000 for repairs to duplex, triplex or four-plex units. The loan provided will be a deferred payment loan with an annual interest rate of three percent. 1-11[l 11 =11 I fz��� 1. Describe the priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction hopes to achieve during the next year. 2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by this Action Plan. *Please also refer to the Housing Needs Table in the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan. 1. Housing Priorities and Specific Objectives Housing activities that benefit low- and moderate -income households will receive a High Priority during the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan period. The intended outcomes will be the conservation and improvement of existing affordable housing, increased development of affordable housing, and the promotion of equal housing opportunities. Only CDBG- or HOME -funded programs will include five-year quantified objectives in the Consolidated Plan and in this Action Plan. Priority 1: Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single -Family and Multi -Family Dwelling Units. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 H B -10;;- Item 20. - 284 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH The City provides loans and grants to rental property owners and homeowners to make improvements to their properties with the objective of improving housing conditions for low- and moderate -income households. Hsg-1: Rehabilitation Programs — Medium Priority There is demonstrated need for rehabilitation assistance in order to preserve the quality of the existing housing stock. CDBG and HOME funds will be made available to eligible homeowners and owners of multi -family units for the Rehabilitation Loan Program. The program offers loan assistance to lower income homeowners in order to improve their housing stock, to provide safe and decent housing, to arrest the spread of blight and to improve accessibility. Lead -based paint abatement information and flood insurance requirements and guidance is a component of the City's rehabilitation programs, as well. The allocated funding is for the administration of the rehabilitation program. In Fiscal Year 2012-13, the City selected a qualified housing services provider, GRC Associates, Inc., to administer the City of Huntington Beach Rehabilitation Loan Program. GRC will be responsible for administering the publicly -funded program including property inspections, residential building and contracting, loan processing and finance, marketing the program, and providing customer service. The actual rehabilitation assistance is funded from the City's Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). Proposed Performance Activity I Funding ?

Recently, the City ended the first-time homebuyer program to assist households in achieving homeownership due to financial constraints. Hsg-2: Inclusionary Housing Program — Low Priority There are several hundred homes in Huntington Beach that were built under the City's Inclusionary Housing Program affordable to low-, median- and moderate -income home buyers. These homes become available for purchase by eligible buyers when new developments are built or when existing homeowners decide to sell. However, no City funds are used to support this program and given the current market conditions, few new homes are being built. Hsg-3: First -Time Homebuyers Downpayment Assistance Program — Low Priority This program consists of a silent second mortgage loan with an equity share for low to moderate -income first-time homebuyers. Principal payments are deferred until the 30th year or upon sale or transfer of property, when property ceases to become owner - occupied, or upon repayment or refinancing of first mortgage, whichever comes first. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 285 HH -IO,6- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH The loan term is 45 years and the amount of the loan is 20 percent of the purchase price but not exceeding $100,000. Equity Sharing Payment will be forgiven in the event borrower owns and occupies the property for the first 30 years of the 45-year term. The City's First -Time Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program was funded with redevelopment housing set -aside funds. However, with the dissolution of the redevelopment agency, the City discontinued this program in Fiscal Year 2012-2013. r j Proposed Performance Activity Funding Description Accomplishment j Measure/Outcome Inclusionary Construction activities 5-Year: l Housing Program $0 have been limited due 40 households DH 2 (Hsg•2) to recession i First time Homebuyer $0 !

Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 HB -1057- Item 20. - 286 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Priority 4: Expand and Preserve Affordable Housing Opportunities Hsg-4: New Construction and Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Housing — High Priority In an effort to expand and preserve its affordable housing stock, Huntington Beach has worked with Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to acquire residential properties. These properties are rehabilitated and then made available to low- and moderate -income persons. The City also works with CHDOs to develop new affordable housing. The CHDO must enter into an agreement with the City that outlines all of the affordability requirements, property maintenance standards and long-term monitoring requirements that are required by HOME regulations. Current affordable housing project in process include: Habitat for Humanity (18451 Patterson Lane): The City is working with Habitat for Humanity, a private housing developer, to create two affordable housing units at 18451 Patterson Lane. The Council allocated $748,437 in prior years' HOME funds to assist in this project. Upon sale of the property, Habitat will repay the City for the construction loan of $486,834 for the creation of one low-income and one very low-income unit. Habitat for Humanity (Garfield Avenue): The City is also working with Habitat for Humanity to create one affordable unit on Garfield Avenue. Estimated subsidy is $215,000. The City will be identifying additional affordable housing opportunities in Fiscal Year 2014-15. Oceana Apartments Project (18151 Beach Boulevard): The City has entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement (Amended December 16, 2013) with AMCAL Multi - Housing, Inc. to develop a four-story project with 78 affordable housing units for income levels at 30 and 60 percent of Orange County median income. The Oceana Apartments project, currently under construction, is a two -acre site located at 18151 Beach Boulevard and is proposed to include at -grade podium parking, street level common space, and residential units on the second level. Pursuant to Substantial Amendment Number One to the FY 2013-14 Annual Action Plan, the City has allocated an additional $135,000 to the project, for a total allocation of $935,000. The additional funding will be used to offset the costs of additional project amenities such as upgraded kitchens, a canopy for the tot lot, and electric plug -ins for eight cars. The HOME subsidy is structured as a 60-year zero -interest loan to be repaid through residual receipts. Project Self -Sufficiency Affordable Housing Project (313 11rh Street): Pursuant to Substantial Amendment No. One to this FY 2014-15 Annual Action Plan, the City entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) with Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC) to rehabilitate nine -units at 313 11th Street, currently housing participants in the Project Self -Sufficiency program. The property consists of five one - bedroom units, and four two -bedroom units. HOME funds in the amount of $305,000 will be utilized for rehabilitation of the following: exterior stucco, roof, sewer, electrical, plumbing, and multiple window and door replacements. Furthermore, $37,223 was allocated to the project pursuant to an administrative amendment on September 30, 2014 for project delivery costs associated with the project. The AHA calls for all units to be restricted to low-income tenants with priority given to participants in the Project Self Sufficiency program. The units will be income and rent restricted for 55 years. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 287 I-IB -1058- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Hsg-5: Rental Assistance Program (Housing Choice Vouchers) — Medium Priority The supply of rental housing affordable to low-income renters is limited as evidenced in the City's 2010-15 Consolidated Plan and described in the narrative starting on page CP- 31. In the absence of immediate relief in the form of more affordable rental housing, there is a demonstrable need for rent subsidies. HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers can be used to assist low-income renters, as shown in Table 16 of the 2010-15 Consolidated Plan; however, the number of vouchers does not fully address the need. The City of Huntington Beach currently has over 900 households receiving Section 8 vouchers annually. Hsg-6: Supportive Housing (HOME) — Medium Priority The City is currently working with American Family Housing (AFH) to provide a permanent Supportive Housing Program for low-income renter -households. This is a two-year program to provide assistance to approximately 10 households. Prior years' HOME funds in the amount of $130,934 have been provided to this project over two years — $65,467 in FY 2011-2012 and $65,467 in FY 2012-2013 as CHDO operating costs. The City has certified AFH as a CHDO and may work with AFH on future affordable housing projects. Hsg-7: Tenant Based Rental Assistance (HOME) — Medium Priority Beginning in September 2015, and carried forward into FY 2015-16, the City, in partnership with Interval House, will implement a Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program which will provide short and medium -term rental assistance as well as housing relocation and stabilization services for 20 homeless and at -risk homeless households in Huntington Beach. The TBRA Program will meet the City's investment criteria by dedicating program assistance to homeless households with incomes at or below 300/0 AMI with preference to veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence. HOME funds in the amount of $411,758 will be allocated to this program.

Federal, State and Local Public and Private Sector Resources The City of Huntington Beach has access to federal, state, and local resources to achieve its housing and community development priorities. Specific funding sources will be utilized based on the opportunities and constraints of each project or program. The City utilizes two major funding sources for housing and community development activities: CDBG and HOME funds. HUD awards CDBG and HOME funds to Huntington Beach based on a formula allocation that takes into account the tightness of the local housing market, inadequate housing, poverty, and housing production costs. CDBG funds can be used for housing and community development activities, and HOME funds are used to expand affordable housing opportunities. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 Item 20. - 289 JAB -1060- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH a 1. Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the needs of public housing and activities it will undertake during the next year to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. 2. If the public housing agency is designated as "troubled" by HUD or otherwise is performing poorly, the jurisdiction shall describe the manner in which it will provide financial or other assistance in improving its operations to remove such designation during the next vear. 1. Public Housing Needs No public housing is located in Huntington Beach. The City is an active participant in the Orange County Cities Advisory Committee to the Orange County Housing Authority, and meets quarterly to address and discuss the needs of public housing and related activities. 2. "Troubled" Public Housing Agency There is no public housing in the City of Huntington Beach. The City has recently established a Local Housing Authority; however, it does not administer the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program. According to the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), the physical condition of its public housing stock in Huntington Beach is considered to be good. The units are inspected, repaired, and maintained on a regular basis. It is the goal of OCHA to maintain each home, whether the unit is a single-family residence or a multi -family residential unit. 1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to remove barriers to affordable housing. 1. Strategy to Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for -profit and non-profit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of "for sale" affordable units is conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 HB - ; 061 - Item 20. - 290 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Additionally, as part of the City's Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower and moderate income households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City's provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. According to the City's 2013-2021 Housing Element, the City will: ■ Support the use of density bonuses and other incentives, such as fee deferrals/waivers and parking reductions, to offset or reduce the costs of developing affordable housing while ensuring that potential impacts are addressed. ■ Provide flexibility in development standards to accommodate new models and approaches to providing housing, such as transit -oriented development, mixed use and live/work housing. ■ Explore continued improvements to the entitlement process to streamline and coordinate the processing of permits, design review and environmental clearance. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 M Item 20. - 291 HB-1062- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 1. Describe other forms of investment not described in § 92.205(b) 2. If the participating jurisdiction (PI) will use HOME or ADDI funds for homebuyers, it must state the guidelines for resale or recapture, as required in § 92.254 of the HOME rule. 3. If the PI will use HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds, it must state its refinancing guidelines required under § 92.206(b). The guidelines shall describe the conditions under which the PI will refinance existing debt. At a minimum these guidelines must: a. Demonstrate that rehabilitation is the primary eligible activity and ensure that this requirement is met by establishing a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing. b. Require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestments in the property has not occurred; that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be demonstrated. c. State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both. d. Specify the required period of affordability, whether it is the minimum 15 years of longer. e. Specify whether the investments of HOME funds may be jurisdiction -wide or limited to a specific geographic area, such as a neighborhood identified in a neighborhood revitalization strategy under 24 CFR 91.215(e)(2) or a Federally designated Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community. f. State that HOME funds cannot be used to refinance multi -family loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG. 4. If the PJ is going to receive American Dream Down Payment Initiative (ADDI) funds please complete the following narratives: a. Describe the planned use of the ADDI funds. b. Describe the PJ's plan for conducting targeted outreach to residents and tenants of public housing and manufactured housing and to other families assisted by public housing agencies, for the purposes of ensuring that the ADDI funds are used to provide down payment assistance for such residents, tenants and families. c. Describe the actions to be taken to ensure the suitability of families receiving ADDI funds to undertake and maintain homeownership, such as provision of housing counselinq to homebuyers. 1. Other Investment For FY 2014-2015, no congressional appropriation is available for the ADDI program. The City has also declined funding from the ADDI program since FY 2007-2008. 2. HOME or ADDI Funds for Homebuyers The City has decided to opt out of the ADDI program due to extensive administrative and reporting requirements and the limited ADDI funding made available to the City. The City does not utilize HOME or ADDI funds for first-time homebuyer assistance. Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 11B -1063- Item 20. - 292 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 3. HOME Funds to Refinance Existing Debt At this time the City is not using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi -family housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds. 4. Fair Marketing Plan Jamboree Housing, Collette's Children's Home, Habitat for Humanity, AMCAL, and American Family Housing are sub -recipients of HOME funds in Huntington Beach. These service providers are committed to affirmative fair marketing of their services and housing units. Jamboree Housing owns and operates the five -unit Oakview Apartments in Huntington Beach which are affordable to families earning below 50 percent of the Orange County AMI. Three of the units are dedicated HOME units. The Oakview Apartments Management Plan stipulates that advertising of the units will include Equal Housing Opportunity logos and slogans to affirmatively market the unit. In order to ensure equal access to all eligible households, households inquiring about the property will be placed on an inquiry list and sent information regarding the application process. Advertising media includes the following: Penny Saver, OC Register, local governmental agencies, local churches and local schools. The Jamboree Housing Oakview Apartments Management Plan also includes HOME Program Addendum Number 18. Other Jamboree housing projects in Huntington Beach will follow the same protocol in advertising and marketing. Collette's Children's Home manages a ten -unit affordable housing complex in the City of Huntington Beach. Collette's Management Plan includes tenant selection and occupancy policies that follow all fair housing laws. Collette's Children's Home will select eligible tenants for the project through a rental application process with no preference to any particular class or group. Collette's is committed to complying with all applicable Federal, State and local nondiscrimination, fair housing and equal opportunity requirements. In addition, affirmative marketing and minority outreach activities will be conducted as required by Federal regulations. American Family Housing announces openings in its programs to the Orange County Continuum of Care group, provider forums, and partnering agencies. Assistance is available on a first -come -first -serve basis and the agency typically has more applicants for services than openings available. 5. ADDI Funds The City has decided to opt out of the ADDI program due to extensive administrative and reporting requirements and the limited ADDI funding made available to the City. In any case, no congressional appropriation in ADDI funds is available for FY 2014-2015. 6. HOME Match Liability The HOME program has a 25-percent match requirement for funds expended during the program year. Currently, the City of Huntington Beach has met and exceeded its HOME Match requirements. The City will continue to leverage HOME projects by funding projects with other resources as available.

Sources of Funds —Identify the private and public resources that the jurisdiction expects to receive during the next year to address homeless needs and to prevent homelessness. These include the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act programs, other special federal, state and local and private funds targeted to homeless individuals and families with children, especially the chronically homeless, the HUD formula programs, and any publicly -owned land or property. Please describe, briefly, the jurisdiction's plan for the investment and use of funds directed toward homelessness. 2. Homelessness —In a narrative, describe how the action plan will address the specific objectives of the Strategic Plan and, ultimately, the priority needs identified. Please also identify potential obstacles to completing these action steps. 3. Chronic homelessness —The jurisdiction must describe the specific planned action steps it will take over the next year aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness by 2012. Again, please identify barriers to achieving this. 4. Homelessness Prevention —The jurisdiction must describe its planned action steps over the next year to address the individual and families with children at imminent risk of becoming homeless. 5. Discharge Coordination Policy —Explain planned activities to implement a cohesive, community -wide Discharge Coordination Policy, and how, in the coming year, the community will move toward such a policy. *Please also refer to the Homeless Needs Table in the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan. 1. Source of Funds The City will continue to assess its homeless population and work with agencies providing transitional shelter for its homeless population. The City's Office of Business Development, and the Police and Community Services Departments work together to maximize resources and information available to serve this population. The City received $566,611 in Homeless Prevention Relocation Program (HPRP) funds as part of the Stimulus Act. Funding was allocated to Project Self -Sufficiency; Interval House; Collette's Children's Home; and Community Services - Senior Outreach. The City has met the federal timeline for expending these funds. 2. Homelessness Throughout the Country and the Los Angeles and Orange County region, homelessness has become an increasing challenge. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low- and moderate -income persons, increases in people living below poverty levels, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and de -institutionalization of the mentally ill. According to the 2013 Orange County Homeless Count and Survey Report conducted by the County of Orange / OC Community Services in conjunction with The Commission to Annual Action Plan 1 2014 - 2015 ` H13 -1065- Item 20. - 294 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH End Homelessness, there are approximately 4,251 homeless persons on any given day throughout Orange County. Homeless families with children make up 20 percent of this population and other homeless individuals/households without children account for the remaining 80 percent of the population. Specific information by jurisdiction is not available. However, the Orange County Management Information System (CMIS) reported that 83 (two percent) of 4,171 surveyed homeless persons reported being from Huntington Beach. Applying the two percent ratio, Huntington Beach estimates 115 homeless persons on the streets and 52 sheltered persons (19 persons in emergency shelters and 33 in transitional housing) in October 2009. Because there is no agricultural land in the City, there is no "rural" homeless population. The City of Huntington Beach, along with Orange County, regularly supports homeless shelters and other services. Key needs identified in the Homeless Count included: housing for veterans and the mentally ill; long-term or permanent housing; domestic violence services; case management and supportive services; transitional programs for youth; emergency beds; and even distribution of shelter beds across the County. Priority 5: Provide Assistance to the Homeless and Persons At -Risk of Becoming Homeless Hm-1: Homeless Services — High Priority Provide assistance to non -profits and public agencies that provide services, support and housing for homeless and those at -risk of becoming homeless.

Chronic Homelessness The City of Huntington Beach has given a High Priority to provide emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families. High Priority is also assigned to transitional housing, or permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless persons in the community. The City is actively participating with the Orange County Continuum of Care to address the regional specific planned action aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness by 2020. Barriers to this goal, of course, include the enormity of the issue and the lack of adequate resources to fund actions. 4. Homeless Prevention Experts estimate that two to three families are on the verge of homelessness for every family in a shelter. As identified in the Housing Needs section above, the at -risk population is comprised of families and individuals living in poverty who, upon loss of employment or other emergency requiring financial reserves, would lose their housing and become homeless. These families are generally experiencing a housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. In Huntington Beach, more than 3,810 households have extremely low -incomes who pay more than 50 percent of their incomes on housing. This group is considered at risk of becoming homeless. Other persons considered at risk for becoming homeless include victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, youth recently released from foster care, and parolees. To help prevent homelessness and protect at -risk populations, Huntington Beach will continue to participate in the Orange County Continuum of Care System to provide assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. In addition, the City continues to pursue opportunities to expand its affordable housing inventory to benefit primarily low- income renters. 5. Discharge Coordination Policy Not Applicable. The City does not receive Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However, the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force.

Identify the jurisdiction's priority non -housing community development needs eligible for assistance by CDBG eligibility category specified in the Community Development Needs Table (formerly Table 2B), public facilities, public improvements, public services and economic development. 2. Identify specific long-term and short-term community development objectives (including economic development activities that create jobs), developed in accordance with the statutory goals described in section 24 CFR 91.1 and the primary objective of the CDBG program to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate -income persons. *Note: Each specific objective developed to address a priority need, must be identified by number and contain proposed accomplishments, the time period (i.e., one, two, three, or more years), and annual program year numeric goals the jurisdiction hopes to achieve in quantitative terms, or in other measurable terms as identified and defined by the jurisdiction. *Please also refer to the Community Development Table in the City's Five -Year Plan. 1. Priority Community Development Needs Under HUD regulations, CDBG funds may be used to provide services and facilities that benefit primarily those residents earning up to 80 percent of AMI. CDBG funds may also be used to provide or improve facilities located in areas where the majority of the population (at least 40.3 percent) earns up to 80 percent AMI (see Figure 1). The rehabilitation of a commercial building owned by a private for -profit business may be classified as a rehabilitation project only if the rehabilitation is limited to improvements to the exterior of the building and to the correction of code violations, and as long as the property is located in a low- and moderate -income target area and the subject business is neighborhood -serving. The City is required to utilize 70 percent of its total CDBG allocation to directly benefit low- and moderate -income persons. A priority ranking has been assigned to each community development category for purposes of using CDBG and HOME funds. Activities to address high priority needs are expected to be funded during FY 2014-2015. The overall priority community development need for the Action Plan is to foster a suitable living environment for low - and moderate -income households and economic opportunities for local businesses.

To comply with ADA requirements, the City must ensure that all public facilities, including all parks facilities, be accessible to persons of all abilities. Accessibility improvements to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act are ranked as a high priority need. All curbs and sidewalks need to be improved citywide. CDBG funds may be used to fund the balance of these improvements in the enhancement areas over the five year period. Community facilities owned and operated by nonprofit organizations are also eligible for CDBG funding as long as the facilities meet the national objectives of serving primarily persons with disabilities.

CDBG funds will be used to repay the existing Section 108 loans. The City does not anticipate issuing new Section 108 loans. The City has refinanced the existing loans. Refinancing the Section 108 loans will reduce the City repayments, thereby releasing CDBG funds for other activities, including housing rehabilitation and code enforcement. Section 108 Loan: A Section 108 Loan used for the development of the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa created 362 new jobs as of the hotel opening in January 2003.
