CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 7/18/2016 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Ken Domer, Assistant City Manager Kellee Fritzal, Deputy Director, Business Development SUBJECT: Approve the 2016-2017 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs and Authorize the City Manager to sign the Application for Federal Assistance Funds Statement of Issue: The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the City conduct a Public Hearing and approve the City's Annual Action Plan in order to receive the entitlement grants from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program. The approved 2016-2017 Annual Action Plan must then be submitted to HUD no later than August 15, 2016. Financial Impact: There is no impact to the General Fund. The City will receive $995,023 in CDBG funds and $424,106 in HOME funds for the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year. Recommended Action: A) Approve the 2016-2017 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program funds; and, B) Authorize the City Manager to sign any and all applications and necessary documents for federal assistance under the CDBG and HOME programs. Alternative Action(s): Provide direction to staff to revise the Annual Action Plan. Analysis: The City is eligible to receive annual CDBG and HOME allocations to fund programs and projects that meet the Federal eligibility requirements. The Annual Action Plan (AAP) must be approved by the City each year. It describes the activities and projects that would be funded with CDBG/HOME program funds for the following year. The 2016-2017 allocations to Huntington Beach are $995,023 in CDBG funds and $424,106 for the HOME program. The 2016-2017 AAP is the second year of implementing the Five-Year Consolidated Plan as required by HUD for receipt of CDBG and HOME entitlement grants. Compliance with the "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rules," issued last year by HUD, are not required to be considered by the City until 2019, when it begins preparation of its next five-year plan. Item 23. - 1 HB -576- Dept. ID ED 16-19 Page 2 of 3 Meeting Date: 7/18/2016 CDBG-funded projects must meet one of the three national objectives with 70% of funds under the national objective of serving low and moderate-income populations, and must meet activity eligibility requirements. The three national objectives are: 1) to benefit low and moderate-income persons; 2) aid in elimination of slums or blight; and 3) meet an urgent need (primarily limited to disaster relieve from flooding or national disasters, for example). Funded activities can include public improvements, public services, special code enforcement in designated eligible areas, economic development activities, and housing rehabilitation programs, among others. If current or previous projects are completed under budget in any given year, funding may be applied to existing or future eligible public improvement projects. Program administration is limited to 20 percent of the City's annual CDBG allocation. The administration costs cover the many complex Federal recordkeeping, monitoring, reporting, and public participation requirements. As part of the 20% administration, HUD requires that the City provide services to promote and support fair housing (counseling, training, investigative services, outreach). A total of $30,000 is allocated to the Fair Housing Foundation for these services. The City also utilizes a portion of its administration funds to pay for staff ($140,000) and $30,000 for public noticing and the use of an as-needed consultant to assist with the Federal software and sub-grantee monitoring. The HOME entitlement may only fund the creation and/or preservation of very low- and low-income housing. The City is currently working with several affordable housing developers to determine a suitable project for existing available funds and those available for 2016-2017. Limited funding (10%) is available in the HOME allocation to administer the program. Action related to approval of a project with HOME funds will be brought to EDC for review and the City Council for approval at a later date. Prior to the City Council approving the AAP, a 30-day public comment period and a public hearing is required. The Huntington Beach Wave published the notice on June 16, 2016, and July 7, 2016. The public comment period concludes on July 18, 2016. No written comments were received prior to the preparation of this Request for Council Action. Any written comments received prior to the close of the comment period, and comments during the public hearing may be considered by the City Council and will be attached to the AAP and submitted to HUD. The Citizens Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) held two (2) public hearings on community needs, reviewed project proposals, heard applicant presentations, and prepared recommendations for 2016-2017 CDBG funding as listed below. The recommendations were presented at Joint Study Session with City Council on June 6, 2016.

Introduction Huntington Beach's 2015/16-2019/20 Consolidated Plan constitutes the City's strategy for addressing its housing and community development needs utilizing federal entitlement funds. The goals are to assist low and moderate-income persons, provide decent housing, create suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included in the Consolidated Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these goals. Specific identifiable benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing the City's strategy are proposed in the Annual Action Plans. The 2016/17 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD entitlement programs-Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program. Current year entitlements combined with reallocations and repayments from prior years (CDBG Revolving Loan Funds) bring the total funding for program year 2016/17 to approximately$3.96 million.The following Annual Action Plan describes resources, programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will use in the corning 2016/17 fiscal year to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and objectives, summarized in Table 1 on the following page.

Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan See Table above. 3. Evaluation of past performance HUD requires that grantees provide an evaluation of past performance. Since the current year, 2015/16, is still in progress, the City of Huntington Beach will more fully measure performance outputs and outcomes for CDBG and HOME under the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) which captures progress towards meeting five-year goals and objectives. Nonetheless, below is a synopsis of what has been accomplished to date. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 2 Item 23. - 7 xB -582- Decent Housing • In May 2015, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) identifying nearly $2.5 million in available affordable housing funds. The City's goal was to obtain proposals for affordable housing projects as well as a proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, which was implemented in 2014/15 for a two-year period. The City identified homeless, those at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence-as the population for which the housing programs should be targeted. The NOFA was available on the City's website and was disseminated to local CHDO's in the area. The City received five (5) proposals: three (3) proposals for affordable housing projects, and two (2) proposals for TBRA programs. The City is currently working with a non-profit organization on development of a 24-unit project. • In FY 2015/16, the City entered into a subrecipient agreement with a nonprofit agency, Interval House, to operate a city-wide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program using tenant selection policies and criteria. The City gave local preference to 10 households impacted by homelessness, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence in Huntington Beach. While funded in FY 2015/16, the City will continue to work with Interval House to provide rental assistance in FY 2016/17. • The Residential Rehabilitation Program provides two loan programs. First, the Single Family Home Improvement Program provides up to$75,000 to pay for rehabilitation costs for a single family home, townhouse, or condominium. Grants are also available to low income households whose estimated repair costs do not exceed $10,000 for single family dwellings and mobile homes. Second, the City administers a Multifamily Rental Housing Rehabilitation Program. The program 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 3%. The program will be expanded in 2016/17 to provide loans to multi- family,non-resident property owners,which represent a number of properties in the area housing low- and moderate'- income residents. Loans will be provided for $30,000 per unit and $50,000 for exterior improvements. The 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan goal is to fund 75grants/loans over the five-year period with an additional three in 2016/17 for the expanded program. To date, staff has reviewed several applications, but no loans or grants have been funded yet. Suitable Living Environment= • The City's Code Enforcement program continues to accomplish their goal of assisting 600 housing units each year. • The City has assisted various public service agencies during FY 2015/16. While the City has had to reduce the number of public service programs offered with CDBG funds because of decreases in CDBG entitlement funds, the City continues to work towards its goals in providing youth, homeless, senior, and fair housing services to the Huntington Beach community. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 3 HB -583- Item 23. - 8 • The City had a goal to assist 400 persons through the provision of public facility improvements. To that end, in 2015/16, the City funded the Oak View Class and Counseling Space Project which will provide additional classroom space for the afterschool recreation program operated at the Oak View Family Resource Center by Children's Bureau and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Huntington Valley. Space is limited at this location and the additional classroom, office and meeting space is needed to accommodate various enrichment programs at the facility due to increased demand for services. • The City-funded infrastructure improvements included ADA improvements to Public Works Maintenance Zone 12 in FY 2015/16. By the end of the 2015/16 fiscal year, the City will have reached its Consolidated Plan goal of assisting 1,224 persons. The City continues to make infrastructure improvements a priority in FY 2016/17 with the funding of ADA improvements to Maintenance Zone 10. Economic Opportunity During 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in the Oak View community, one of the most impacted areas of the City, and one in which many resources have been concentrated in recent years. These efforts included increased outreach to property owners and residents of the area and expansion of the number of materials provided in Spanish. In an effort to increase participation and improve living conditions in the area, staff conducted a property owner information meeting in January 2016 to promote the CDBG-funded Housing Rehabilitation Loan program. Staff has also connected Fair Housing Foundation counselors with residents dealing with emergency situations and held an additional community meeting in June 2016 area to further develop the relationships between the City and the residents of the Oak View area,with other meetings planned for the future. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City :developed its 2016/17 Annual Action Plan through extensive consultation and coordination with housing, social service and healthcare providers; public agencies; and the local public housing agency as presented below. As a means of gaining input from the public, the City conducted public hearings and invited comments on the draft Action Plan. The City followed its Citizen Participation Plan and HUD's guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of the Action Plan to encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the documents. A draft of the 2016/17 Annual Action Plan will be made available for public comment for the minimum 30-day period (June 16 -July 18, 2016). A City Council public hearing will be held on July 18, 2016, providing residents and interested parties a final opportunity to comment on the Consolidated Plan prior to adoption and submittal to HUD. S. Summary of public comments Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 4 Item 23. - 9 xs -584- The City of Huntington Beach Draft Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2016/17 was made available for the minimum 30-day review period starting on June 16, 2016. The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the Draft Plan on July 18, 2016 and will take all comments into consideration prior to voting to adopt of the Annual Action Plan. All public and City Council comments will be added to the final version of the Plan before submission to HUD. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them The City of Huntington Beach will respond to all relevant comments. Any comments not accepted will be further described here. 7. Summary The City took numerous steps, including public noticing, advertising and holding public meetings, to ensure citizen participation in the development of the 2016/17 Action Plan. The Action Plan addresses key findings of the Consolidated Plan deeds Assessment, including: • Housing overpayment is the most prevalent housing problem, with 80% of Huntington Beach's low and moderate income (<80% AMI) renter households facing a cost burden (>30%of income on housing costs), and 45%facing a severe cost burden(>50%of income towards housing). Consultation with housing, homeless and public service providers identify the shortage of affordable rental housing as the most significant issue facing Huntington Beach's extremely low, low and moderate income residents. • Household overcrowding is a far less significant problem than overpayment in Huntington Beach, and has decreased from 13% of all renters in 2000 to just 5% a decade later (as documented by ;the 2007-2011 ACSi). However, certain neighborhoods continue to experience high levels of overcrowding. • Many of the workers who make up Huntington Beach's workforce earn modest incomes, making it challenging to afford to in live in the City where they work. The analysis of rental housing costs and affordability illustrates that households earning extremely low, low and moderate incomes cannot 'afford average market rents in Huntington Beach. Local occupations priced out of the rental,market include: bookkeepers, bus drivers, preschool teachers, retail sales managers, and food service managers. • For homeless persons or persons at-risk of becoming homeless, the most significant problem is the lack of affordable rental housing. This problem has been compounded by record high rents combined with decreases in public funding previously used to support affordable housing. Surveys of homeless service providers in Huntington Beach identify additional affordable housing as the top priority need,followed by the need for additional substance abuse services, and additional tenant rental assistance. • The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) presents a comprehensive listing of planned and projected capital project needs based on various long-range plans,goals, and 'The American Community Survey(ACS),performed by the U.S.Census Bureau, is an ongoing Census statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year,and publishes five year averages of this data. Many of the tables in the Consolidated Plan are"pre-populated" by HUD with data from the 2007-2011 ACS,and thus the City has utilized the 2007-2011 ACS as the primary data source throughout the Plan. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 5 xB -585- Item 23. - 10 policies. The 2014/15-2018/19 CIP identifies the following general projects (within low and moderate income areas) in need of CDBG funds over the next five years: ✓ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements to Police Department lobby ✓ Sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements, including accessibility ramps Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 6 Item 23. - 11 HB -586- PR-05 Lead & Responsible Agencies 24 CFR 91.200(b) 1.

Introduction Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). The City developed its five-year(2015/16-2019/20) Consolidated Plan through consultation with the Orange County Housing Authority; City departments; health and social service providers; and adjacent local governments. As a means of gaining input from housing, homeless and social service providers active in Huntington Beach,the City provided agencies a brief survey requesting input on services provided, priority needs and gaps in services. A total of twelve (12) agencies representing special needs populations, and an additional seven (7) housing and homeless service agencies completed the needs survey, providing direct input into the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment.The detailed results of these agency surveys are provided in the Consolidated Plan's Appendix C. The City formed a Homeless Task Force which met for a nine-month period and has created a list of recommendations to deal with the homeless problems in the community. In addition,with the use of 2015/16 CDBG funds, the City employed a part-time Homeless Coordinator who coordinates services provided to the Homeless. The Coordinator oversees a collaborative comprised of local homeless service providers and faith-based organizations who conduct monthly meetings with the purpose of coordinating efforts and sharing information to most effectively address the issue of homelessness in Huntington Beach. The Coordinator was joined by two 'Huntington Beach Police Homeless Liaison Officers, which were funded separately. In 2016/17,this team will be joined by a part-time case manager/social worker to further increase the level of service to the homeless population. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children, veterans,and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness The City of Huntington Beach participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care, led and coordinated by 2-1-1 Orange County and the OC Community Services. This public - nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout Orange County. This group serves as the regional convener of the year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private agencies that make-up the regional homeless system of care. The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic components: 1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 8 Item 23. - 13 xB -588- 2. A system of outreach,assessment,and prevention for determining the needs and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless. 3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referrals. 4. Transitional housing to help homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living. 5. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing,to help meet the long term needs of homeless individuals and families. 6. Reducing chronic homelessness in Orange County and addressing the needs of homeless families and individuals using motels to meet their housing needs. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Huntington Beach does not receive ESG funds so this is not applicable. 2.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City followed HUD's guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of this Annual Action Plan. To encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the documents,the City undertook several activities as summarized below. Housing and Community Development Needs Survey In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs for the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City utilized a Needs Survey (in English and Spanish) in which the respondent was asked to rank the level of need for a particular service, capital improvement,and public benefit. Questions about specific needs were grouped into these areas: • Housing Needs; • Homeless Needs; • Public Service Needs; • Infrastructure Needs; and • Economic Development Needs. Agency Surveys: Special Needs Service Providers, Housing&Homeless Service Providers A variety of Agencies providing services to Huntington Beach's low and moderate income households, special needs populations, and homeless were provided a brief survey requesting input on priority needs and gaps in the services provided. A total of nineteen Agencies completed the survey. The tabulated results of these surveys are included in the Consolidated Plan Appendix. Community Meetings The Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) conducted a public hearing on community needs on January 15, 2015 at Huntington Beach City Hall, and a second public hearing on community needs and the Consolidated Plan on February 5, 2015. The meeting was conducted at the Oakview Library, with a total of 25 persons providing public comment on priority needs in the community. The following agencies/programs were represented: Family Literacy Program, Oakview Children's Bureau/Boys and Girls Club Afterschool Program, Project Self-Sufficiency, and Huntington Beach Senior Services/Care Management. The comments received are summarized in the Consolidated Plan Appendix.

Local private and non- federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in our community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment to receiving other funding sources. Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including: private and public investment including the use of low income housing tax credits.Other future sources of matching funds include: inclusicnary housing in-lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the former Redevelopment Agency; and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment Low/Mod Housing Funds (one-time payment).. HUD requires a 25% match on HOME funds drawn down for affordable housing. Historically,the City has met the match requirement with the use of former Huntington Beach redevelopment tax increment funds that were layered with HOME funds in developing affordable housing. While redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for future match requirements, the City has been utilizing a match surplus derived from prior contributions by the former Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency in developing affordable housing developments. The City was required to utilize 20%of these funds to develop low-and moderate- income housing. The City's match surplus is approximately$3,235,838. if appropriate, describe publica'lly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Not applicable.

Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low-income, and; 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations, general relative priorities for funding will be as follows: HIGH PRIORITY: Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period. MEDIUM PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the City during the five-year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and take actions to locate other sources of funds. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 24 Item 23. - 29 HB -604- LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-year period. The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on the assumption that in this high cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of displacement, homelessness or other serious housing situations due to limited financial resources and other limitations they may face. The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including the high and sustained demand for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to address the community's needs.

Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 35 HB -615- Item 23. - 40 AP-50 Geographic Distribution —91.22O(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration)where assistance will be directed 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 City utilizes CDBG and HOME funds for projects and programs operated citywide. However, the majority of CDBG-funded infrastructure and facility projects are targeted to the most-needy neighborhoods:those census tracts where 47.83%or more of the residents are low-or moderate- income. Specifically, for Special Code Enforcement activities, the City has identified deteriorated areas based on observed violations of the Uniform Housing Code. This effort was undertaken to determine geographical areas meetingthe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)guidelines to utilize Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funding for special code enforcement and preservation activities in deteriorating areas. From this survey, staff identified four geographical areas that met the criteria for a deteriorating area, as well as meeting the CDBG national objective of serving low and moderate income households: • Bolsa Chica —Heil • East—Central • South Central • Southeast These four areas of concentrated deteriorated housing have been designated as Special CDBG Code Enforcement areas, and have become the focus of increased code enforcement and neighborhood preservation efforts to improve the quality of life and condition of housing. With the release of HUDs updated 2014 Low and Moderate Income Summary Data, however, several of the census block groups within the four Special CDBG Code Enforcement areas no longer qualify as low and moderate income (minimum 47.83%low/mod households). Thus,for the time being,the City will no longer fund code enforcement in these areas using CDBG funds.

The City will also allocate CDBG funds for special code enforcement and preservation activities in Special Code Enforcement Areas that have been identified as deteriorated based on the observance of violations of the Uniform Housing Code. These areas include Bolsa Chica-Heil; East-Central; South-Central; and Southeast. Public facility and public infrastructure projects will be targeted to neighborhoods where 47.83% or more of residents are low and moderate income.

Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 38 Item 23. - 43 HB -618- AP-60 Public Housing— 91.220(h) Introduction The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, Huntington Beach is one of a number of cities that benefits from the services of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), which is currently managing over 1,000 Housing Choice Vouchers for residential units within Huntington Beach (February 2015); 58 of these were Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, 15 were Family Unification Vouchers, and 45 were Shelter Plus Care vouchers for formerly homeless disabled households. Elderly households comprise 43%of the City's Section 8 recipients(434 households),indicative of several large senior housing complexes with significant numbers of Section 8 'tenants. The City also has a high proportion of disabled households receiving Section 8(426 households), although many of these households are also likely to be seniors. OCHA last opened its Housing Choice Voucher waiting list in February,2012, during which it received 48,298 applications for assistance. Of the total applicants, 24,756 were living within Orange County, 3,262 were working in the County but living elsewhere, and 20,280 were living and working outside the County. Waiting list statistics highlight both the tremendous need for affordable housing in Huntington Beach, and the need to assist a variety of family needs from differing demographics. The data indicates the need to serve special needs populations that are disabled and/or homeless, as well as the growing need to serve the expanding senior citizen population. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Not applicable. However, the City will send out letters to all apartment owners, encouraging them to rent to people participating in the Tenant Based Rental Assistance and Section 8 programs. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Not applicable. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Not applicable. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 39 HB -619- Item 23. - 44 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities —91.220(i) Introduction 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. As described in greater detail in Section MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services in the Consolidated Plan, for the two years, the City of Huntington Beach has been actively engaged in numerous activities to decrease homelessness and provide effective and efficient support to local non-profits that provide services to this population. In March 2015, the City Council authorized formation of a Homeless Task Force to coordinate homeless/housing efforts and provide City support/guidance regarding services. The Task Force is keeping the City Council apprised of issues/services and making recommendations as needed. In addition, the Office of Business Development and Huntington Beach Police Department utilized 2015/16 CDBG public service funds for a part-time Homeless Coordinator position to serve as the City's point person for homeless issues. A part-time case worker/social worker will be added with 2016/17 CDBG public service funds to provide wrap-around services to homeless clientele. Once every two years, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless people within the county in a given twenty-four-hour period.This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for homeless programs. The most recent PIT in Orange County for which results have been published and described in the Consolidated Plan was held on the morning of January 24, 2015 with the assistance of 70 homeless persons and 748 homeless service providers and community volunteers. The January 2015 PIT count enumerated 4,452 homeless individuals in Orange County, representing 0.14% of the total County population, reflecting a 5% increase from the 2013 count of 4,251, and an almost 56%drop,from the 2011 count of 6,939 homeless persons (refer to Table 29) and an 87% drop from the 2009 count of 8,333. Of the 4,452 homeless persons counted in 2015, approximately 49% are unsheltered and 51% are sheltered. This represents an increase for unsheltered persons over the 2013 total of 39% and the sheltered total of 61%. Homeless families with children make up 14% of this population and other homeless individuals/households without children account for the remaining 86% of the population. The Orange County Point in Time Count does not provide specific information by jurisdiction. However, the 2014 Homeless Conditions Report and Recommendations commissioned by the City of Huntington Beach (prepared by City Net) utilizes the following approach to estimate the number of homeless in the City. Applying the 2015 PIT ratio of 0.14% of the County's total population being homeless to Huntington Beach's 2015 population of 201,919 translates to an estimated 283 homeless individuals within the City. Furthermore, assuming the same Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 40 Item 23. - 45 HB -620- Countywide ratio of 51% of the homeless being sheltered would result in an estimated 166 sheltered homeless and 139 unsheltered homeless within the City. These figures generally correlate with the Huntington Beach Police Department estimates of 200 unsheltered homeless at any given time in the City because Police Officers would likely be referring to unsheltered homeless individuals, which are more readily visible and identifiable as homeless. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City of Huntington Beach is committed to addressing homelessness. In March 2014, the City Council conducted a study session on homelessness in the community, including a presentation by the Executive Director of the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness and the City's Police Chief. Subsequently, the City contracted with City Net, a collaborative organization, to conduct research on the scope and scale of the homeless issues in Huntington Beach, provide an asset map of homeless services and; resources, and deliver recommendations about how to strategically leverage existing assets and resources in the community to address the problem. City Net's findings and recommendations are summarized below: 1. The City possesses an abundance of non-profit organizations, faith congregations, local businesses, and community groups that are eager for collaborative solutions to ending homelessness in Huntington Beach. 2. The groups listed above are decentralized both structurally and geographically. 3. The City should invest in coordinating these resources without aggregating them or investing in heavy infrastructure. 4. A proactive connection should be established between the non-profit and faith communities to City safety personnel and other first responders. 5. The City should invest in a multi-sector collective impact collaborative which would meet regularly to achieve goals over the course of 12-months. Prior to publication of the City Net Homeless Conditions Report, a former Huntington Beach Mayor coordinated the "Huntington Beach Homeless Collaborative" comprised of various homeless service providers and faith based organizations. The Collaborative conducts monthly meetings at the Central Library with the purpose of: gathering resource information useful in dealing with the homeless issue; developing an information and referral system for collaborative members; establishing partnerships with the City; and coordinating activities between homeless service providers. City staff from the Police Department, Community Services, and the City Manager's Office/Office of Business Development attend these meetings. The City's Police Department recently engaged the services of the Coast to Coast Foundation, a non-profit Police Officer Liaison Program (POLP) designed to eliminate resource barriers and Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 41 xB -621- Item 23. - 46 support law enforcement homelessness teams. Coast to Coast partners with police departments throughout Orange County, providing a model that balances enforcement with outreach. Resources include: Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) kits for daily patrol, 24/7 locker locations kits, homeless relocation, trained outreach team, community campaign/education and empowerment in support of law enforcement. The City's Police Department and Coast to Coast have created a volunteer program specifically designed to the needs of Huntington Beach. The volunteers engage in monthly outreach efforts to the homeless and have experienced great success. On March 16, 2015, the City Council authorized the creation and establishment of a seven- member Homeless Task Force to make recommendations to the City Council regarding programs and services for the homeless. Subsequently, the Task Force created six Homeless Task Force Sub-Committees on the following topics: Police; Housing; Coordination of Services & Economic Self-Sufficiency; and Health Services. The Task Force is coordinated by the Office of Business Development with assistance from the Police Department, and the Homeless Outreach Coordinator. On March 22, 2016, the Task Force presented 22 recommendations to the City Council. Since the establishment of the Homeless Task Force, many accomplishments have been made to date: Subsequently, in January 2016, it created six Homeless Task Force Sub-Committees on the following topics: Police; Housing; Coordination of Services & Economic Self Sufficiency; and Health Services. The Task Force is coordinated by the Office of Business Development with assistance from the Police Department, and the Homeless Outreach Coordinator. Since the establishment of the Homeless Task Force, many accomplishments have been made to date: Presentations from a variety of homeless organizations including Beach Cities Interfaith Services,OC Health Care Agency,Share Ourselves,the Illumination Foundation, Fresh Beginnings, and the Pasadena and Orange Police Departments;and Creation of six homeless sub-committees who have provided the Task Force with many recommendations to address safety, housing, services, economic self-sufficiency, and health services. The Office of Business Development and the Police Department have been granted continued CDBG public service funds for FY 2016/17 to fund the current part-time Homeless Coordinator position to serve as the City's point person for homeless issues, as well as the new position of a part-time case manager/social worker. The Homeless Coordinator acts as liaison with the Police Department, non-profit organizations and for-profit groups such as mental health centers, hospitals, churches,shelters, addiction centers and rehabilitation programs. The Coordinator will assist the Police Department in locating shelter beds for the homeless and rehabilitation (detox) beds for those in need of assistance and provide wrap-around services for homeless clientele. In addition, both the coordinator and the case manager/social worker help to coordinate City services regarding homeless encampments and public information. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 42 Item 23. - 47 HB -622- Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City has and will continue to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless and homeless families through support of homeless programs such as the Huntington Beach Youth Emergency Shelter; Interval House and Collette's Children's Home transitional housing for battered/homeless mothers with children; American Family Housing transitional housing and supportive housing rental assistance; and Project Self-Sufficiency transitional housing for single parent families. Through the City's Homeless Task Force, the City will also support the provision of emergency housing and services by Beach Cities Interfaith Services and the local faith-based community. The City has also created two (2) full-time Homeless Police Liaison Officers who are responsible for creating relationships with the homeless and to provide services with an eye toward bringing their homelessness to an end. However, with HUD's defunding of two (2) of the City's transitional housing programs,there is a fair chance that local homelessness will increase as a result. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of homelessness,the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective programming, including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnerships with experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; the ability to create or secure affordable housing; perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available services. The City's goal is to expand on current homeless programs and activities with a greater emphasis on homeless veterans and families to assist with their successful transition toward self-sufficiency. In FY 2015/16, the also City entered into a subrecipient agreement with a nonprofit agency, Interval House, to operate a city-wide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program using tenant selection policies and criteria. The City gave local preference to 10 households impacted by homelessness, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence in Huntington Beach. While funded in FY 2015/16, the City will continue to work with Interval House to provide rental assistance in FY 2016/17. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 43 xB -6231- Item 23. - 48 funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. 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. 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. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 44 Item 23. - 49 xB -624- AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing— 91.2200) Introduction: Huntington Beach has a strong history of supporting affordable housing. The City has adopted numerous provisions in its Zoning Ordinance that facilitate a range of residential development types and encourage affordable housing. In addition, the City and its former Redevelopment Agency have provided direct financial assistance to support affordable and mixed income housing projects. The loss of Redevelopment Housing Funds,which previously generated approximately $3 million per year for housing activities, will dampen the level of future affordable housing production in the City. In addition to funding constraints, the primary barrier to the provision of affordable housing in Huntington Beach is the lack of vacant land suitable for residential development. Separate owners of smaller parcels hold much of the underdeveloped and residentially zoned land in the City. This calls for alternative policy tools such as lot consolidation and/or demolition of existing older structures to accommodate higher density infill development. Through adoption of the Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans, the City has provided opportunities for high density mixed use and residential infill. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges,growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment 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. To address the decline in sources of housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing. 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. The following programs in the City's 2013-2021 Housing Element specifically address the variety of regulatory and financial tools used by the City to remove barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing: Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 45 xB -625- Item 23. - 50 Program 2. Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non-Profit Developers Objective:Acquire, rehabilitate, and establish affordability covenants on 80 rental units. Program 7. Residential and Mixed Use Sites Inventory Objective:Maintain current inventory of vacant and underutilized development sites, and provide to developers along with information on incentives. Program 8. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan Objective:Facilitate development through flexible,form based standards, and streamlined processing. Encourage affordable housing by requiring inclusionary units to be provided on-site, or within the Specific Plan, and providing additional incentives for increased percentages of affordable units. Program 10. Inclusionary Program and Housing Trust Fund Continue implementation and re-evaluate Ordinance to provide consistency with case law and market conditions. Establish in-lieu fee amount for projects between 10-30 units. Program 11.Affordable Housing Development Assistance Provide financial and regulatory assistance in support of affordable housing. Provide information on incentives to development community. Program 13.Affordable Housing Density Bonus Continue to offer density bonus incentives as a means of enhancing the economic feasibility of affordable housing development. Program 14. Development Fee Assistance Continue to offerfee reductions to'incentivize affordable housing. Specify the waiver of 100% of application processing fees in the Code for projects with 10% extremely low income units. Program 15. Residential Processing Procedures Provide non-discretionary development review within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Adopt streamlined review procedures for multi family development on a Citywide basis. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 46 Item 23. - 51 HB -626- AP-85 Other Actions—91.220(k) Introduction: Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Huntington Beach has identified long-range strategies, activities and funding sources to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services for the benefit of the residents. • The City will continue to seek other resources and funding sources to address the biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of funding and/or inadequate funding. • The City will look for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more comprehensive and will continue existing partnerships with both for-profit and not-for- profit organizations. • The City will use HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. • The City is currently addressing certain housing needs with federal funds such as availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. • The City is also addressing community development needs with federal funds such as infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement. • The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting the underserved needs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City's Consolidated Plan has identified the preservation of existing, and the creation of new, affordable housing as a priority need during the 2015/16—2019/20 timeframe. In May 2015,the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability(NOFA) identifying nearly$2.5 million in available affordable housing funds. The City's goal was to obtain proposals for affordable housing projects as well as a proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program. The City identified homeless, those at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence as the population for which the housing programs should be targeted. The NOFA was available on the City's website and was disseminated to local CHDO's in the area. The City received five (5) proposals: three (3) proposals for affordable housing projects, and two (2) proposals for TBRA programs. Interval House was selected to implement a TBRA program based on its extensive experience in providing services to households impacted by domestic violence, and because it already works closely with the City's Police Department in providing housing for eligible households. Additionally, Interval House implemented the City's Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 47 HB -627- Item 23. - 52 Housing(HPRP) program, a similar federal funding program that provided assistance to homeless and at at-risk persons to alleviate homelessness and provide rapid re-housing. During FY 2016- 17, the City will continue to work Interval House to provide tenant-based rental assistance to 10 households. The program was funded in FY 2015/16. The program will be targeted to homeless, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence in Huntington Beach. The City is still reviewing proposals for an affordable housing project, and will eventually pursue a project to assist households at various income levels, including households with incomes at or below 60%of the Orange County area median income (AM[),with preference for proposals that provide units for households at or below 30%AMI. The City's NOFA also identified a preference for projects aimed at homeless, at-risk of homelessness, veterans, and senior populations. The City will also endeavor to alleviate household overcrowding and renter cost burden, while at the same time, addressing the fundamental need for affordable housing for extremely low income families, homeless or at-risk of being homeless households, some of the main housing issues described in the Consolidated Plan. While funds are limited, the City will use regulatory tools - such as flexible development standards, density bonus and other incentives - to support in the expansion of needed affordable housing. In past years, the City has provided funding support to local public service agencies such as Project Self Sufficiency and AIDS Services Foundation that address the service needs of the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. However, continued reductions in the City's CDBG entitlements have resulted in the cutback of such funding support in recent years. The City hopes to reinstate funding support in the future should CDBG entitlement amounts increase. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities: • Notification • Lead Hazard Evaluation • Lead Hazard Reduction • Ongoing Maintenance • Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead is detected, and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate. Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 48 Item 23. - 53 xB -628- To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead-based paint hazard is present, the City or the City's sub-grantee contracts with a lead consultant for abatement or implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report. Tenants are notified of the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspects units on the existing program and new units as they become available. In all cases, defective paint surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied by a household with children under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City's major objectives in reducing poverty within Huntington Beach are 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. The City's anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the promotion and support of programs which provide employment training and supportive services, while expanding employment opportunities through the support of programs supporting business development and employment and its recently-completed Economic Development Strategy. In terms of employment training and supportive services,the City supports literacy programs for families (Oakview Family Literacy Program) with a combination of General Funds and CDBG that help enhance the employability of low income persons with deficient English speaking, reading, and writing skills. As funding permits, the City will continue to support the following Public Services to increase family stability for lower income households: • Counseling • Domestic Violence Prevention Services • Provision of food. • Substance Abuse Services • Job Training Lastly, the City of Huntington Beach supports a variety of economic development activities that help to create and retain jobs for low- and moderate-income households. Activities supported include a commercial property locator; employment assistance including of a referral service for finding and training employees; financial assistance through the Small Business Administration; business counseling and training via a litany of not-for-profit Orange County agencies; technical assistance in permits, trademarks, environmental review, and taxes; and export and trade Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 49 HB -629- Item 23. - 54 assistance. Micro-enterprise assistance,job training services, and technical assistance are some areas that may warrant consideration for funding during the Consolidated Plan period. The City will fully comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act, which helps foster local economic development and individual self-sufficiency. This set of regulations require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities for low or very low-income residents in connection with housing and public construction projects. Actions planned to develop institutional structure As the recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City has delegated the Office of Business Development to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD grants. In that regard, the Division will prepare the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice every five years, draft the Annual Action Plan and CAPER, as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations. The City will work with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, and organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments and with the private sector to implement the City's five-year strategyto address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2015/2016 — 2019/2020. Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents will be vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City will also utilize public notices, Community Workshops and Meetings(as appropriate),the City's website,and other forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has developed partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments that have been instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low income individuals and families, and other special needs.Over the years,the City has expanded partnerships and created new ones along the way. The array of partners include, but are not limited to: the Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works Departments; American Family Housing, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Collete's Children's Home, and AMCAL; Orange County Community Housing Corporation; Jamboree Housing; Community SeniorServ; AIDS Services Foundation; Project Self Sufficiency; Alzheimer's Family Services; Fair Housing Foundation; the Orange County Housing Authority; and 2-1-1 Orange County and OC Community Services (Orange County Continuum of Care). During FY 2016/17, the City will continue to develop these partnerships.
