1. Citizen Participation Process
Citizen participation is one of the most important components of the Consolidated
Plan process. Per the Consolidated Plan submission guidelines, the City took
appropriate actions to encourage the participation of all its residents. The City of
Huntington Beach utilized the following strategy to solicit input in preparing the
Consolidated Plan for 2010-2014:
Applications for Funding: CDBG applications for funding were distributed the week
of December 14, 2009 and were due February 11, 2010. Public Notice of the
availability of funds, solicitation of applications and workshop were published in the
Huntington Beach Independent on December 17, 2010.
Public Hearings and Meetings: The City conducted two Citizen's Participation
Advisory Board (CPAB) public meetings on January 7, 2010 and February 4, 2010 to
discuss housing and community development needs in the City. The comments
received are summarized in Appendix A.
On June 3, 2010, the City conducted a public meeting to discuss the Consolidated
Plan. Invitations to this meeting were sent to agencies that serve low and moderate
income persons and persons with special needs, as well as neighboring jurisdictions.
The list of agencies invited to this meeting is included in Appendix A.

with disabilities, including persons with HIVIAIDS and their families, single persons,
large families, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence, families on the

*Please also refer to the Housina Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook.
1. Housing . ng Needs
s
The CHAS provides detailed information on housing needy by income level for
different types of households. CHAS information indicates that housing problems
� 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 ofhouseholds with housing assistance needs. Priorities
were established for housing needs based in part on this housing needs assessment.
Housing Needs bmHousehold 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 3000 Census reported that
the median household income in Huntington Beach was $64,824, slightly higher than
the Orange County median income of$S8,82U. Household income distribution of
community is often provided in relation to the surrounding Area Median Income
(AMI).

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.

characteristics of the housing market in terms of supply, demand, condition, and the
cosh of housing; the housing stock available to serve persons with disabilities; and to
serve persons with HI VIAIDS and their families. Data on the housing market should

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

3. 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.
Specific dousing Objectives (9,1.21S (b))
1. 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.

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. Federal and state environmental regulations implemented at the local

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.
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

1. Using the results of the Continuum of Care planning process, identify the
jurisdiction's homeless and homeless prevention priorities specified in Table 1A, the
Homeless and Special Needs Populations „Chart. The description of the jurisdiction's
choice of priority needs and allocation priorities must be based on reliable data
meeting HUD standards and should reflect the required consultationwith homeless
assistance providers, homeless persons, and other`' concerned citizens regarding the
needs of homeless families with children and individuals. The jurisdiction must
provide an analysis of how the needs of each category of residents provided the
basis for determining the relative =priority of each priority homeless need category. A
separate brief narrative should be directed: to addressing gaps in services and
housing for the sheltered and unsheltered chronic homeless.
2. A community should give a high priority to chronically homeless persons, where the
jurisdiction identifies sheltered and unsheltered chronic'' h` eless persons in its
Homeless Needs Table - Homeless Populations and Subpo ' tations.
1. 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. As
long as funds are available, the City shall continue to fund programs such as Project
Self -Sufficiency, the Seniors Outreach Program, and the Oak View Neighborhood
Center.

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,

emergency circumstances.

1. 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.
CDBGIHPRP 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.

2. 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.

1. Priority Community Development and Community Services 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 the City's Enhancement
Areas where 40.3 percent of the population earns up to 80 percent AMI (see Figure
1).

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.

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.
2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan
Item 7. - 88 xB -178-
'CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH]
1. 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 1B) 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 boserved it) the metropolitan area.
2. Identify the priority housing and supportive service 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.
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 mUnn-tal and physical health institutions receive
appropriate supportive housing. A
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.xis workbook.

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.
2010 - 2014 1 Five -Year Strategic Plan
Item 7. - 90 11 B -180-
OF • Substantial Amendment Nn. Three
Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) provide care,
supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and
grooming. 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
The City may utilize HOME funds for direct tenant -based rental assistance, partnering
with a CHDO. 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.
1. The Plan includes a description#"the activtea to bedndertaken with its HOPWA
Program fundsto address priority unmet housing needs for the eligible population.
Activities will assist persons who are not homeless but require supportive housing;
such as efforts*40,:�-prevent low income individuals and families from becoming
homeless and may address the housing needs of persons who are homeless in
order to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and
independent living. The plan would identify any obstacles to meeting underserved
needs and summarize the priorities and specific objectives, describing how funds
made available will be used to address identified needs'
2. The Plan must establish annual HOPWA output goals for the planned number of
households to be assisted during the year in: (1) short-term rent, mortgage and utility
payments to avoid homelessness, (2) rental assistance programs; and (3) in housing
facilities, such as community residences and SRO dwellings, where funds are used
to develop and/or operate these facilities. The plan can also describe the special
features or needs being addressed, such as support for persons who are homeless
or chronically homeless. These outputs are to be ;used in connection with, an
Five -Year Strategic Plan - Substantial Amendment Number Two 1 2010 - 2014
HB - 1 s 1- Item 7. - 91
Substantial Amendment No. Three OF •
assessment of client outcomes for achieving housing 'stability, reduced risks of
homelessness and improved access to care.
3. For housing facility projects being developed, a target date for the completion of
each development activity must be included and information on the continued use of
these units for the eligible population based on their stewardship requirements (e.g.
within the ten-year use periods for projects involving acquisition, new construction or
substantial rehabilitation).
4. The Plan includes an explanation of how the funds will be allocated including a
description of the geographic'` area in which assistance will be directed and the
rationale for these geographic allocations and priorities. Include the name of each
project sponsor, the zip code for the primary area(s) of planned activities, amounts
committed to that sponsor, and whether the sponsor is a faith -based, and/or
grassroots organization.
5- The Plan describes the role of ; the lead jurisdiction in the eligible metropolitan
statistical area (EMSA), involving (a) consultation to develop a metropolitan -wide
strategy for addressing the needs of persons with HIVIAIDS and their families living
throughout the EMSA with the other jurisdictions within the EMSA; (b) the standards
and procedures to be used to monitor HOPWA Program activities in order to ensure
compliance by project sponsors of the requirements of the program.
6. The Plan includes the certifications relevant to the HOPWA Program. 1
