1. 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 just over $4 million. The following Annual Action Plan describes resources, programs, activities
and actions Huntington Beach will use in the coming 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. / ..

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.
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. Unfortunately, no project has been
successful. The City has issued a NOFA seeking to fund an acquisition project with a
qualified CHDO. y
• 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 75 grants/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.
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 3
Item 9. - 8 xB -402-
• 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.
• 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.
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 4
xB -4031- Item 9. - 9
A draft of the 2016/17 Annual Action Plan was made available for public comment for the
minimum 30-day period (June 16 - July 18, 2016). A City Council public hearing was 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.
On September 15, 2016 and September 29, 2016, the City will publish notices of a public hearing
to approve a pending Substantial Amendment to the FY 2016/17 Annual Action Plan. The
purpose of the Amendment is to seek authorization from the Huntington Beach City Council for
the two new affordable housing projects: a four -unit acquisition and rehabilitation project
located at 7792 Barton Drive; and a tenant based rental assistance program (TBRA) to be
operated by a non-profit agency, Mercy House. The TBRA program aims to assist 17 households
in FY 2016/17 with rental costs. Both programs are to be funded with Federal HOME monies.
The notice announces a 30-day public comment period beginning on September 15, 2016 and
closing on October 17, 2016, and also serves to invite interested persons to attend the City
Council meeting scheduled for October 17, 2016.
S. Summary of public comments
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. No written comments
were submitted. The City Council conducted a public hearing on the Draft Plan on July 18, 2016
where one (1) public comment was made by resident Jaquelyn Ruddy during general public
comments, encouraging the City Council to fund Project Self Sufficiency. The City Council took
all comments into consideration prior to voting to adopt of the Annual Action Plan.
[Insert summary of public comments received on Substantial Amendment to FY 2016/17 AAP]
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them
The City of Huntington Beach responded to all relevant comments.
7. Summary
The City took numeroussteps, 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 Needs 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
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 5
Item 9. - 10 HB -404-
documented by the 2007-2011 ACS'). 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
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
' 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.

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(1)).
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. The Project Self
Sufficiency Program will continue in 2016/17 to continue providing services to single parents with
children, but is expected to transition away from utilization of CDBG funding within the next one
to four years.
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.
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 8
HB -407- Item 9. - 13
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.
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.

1. 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 Englishand 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.
Rr',
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.
Huntington Beach Homeless Collaborative
Since December 2014, a former Huntington Beach Mayor has coordinated a collaborative with
homeless service providers and have been meeting on a monthly basis at the Central Library. City
staff from the Police Department, Community Services, and the City Manager's Office/Office of
Business Development have been attending these meetings. At the Collaborative' s meeting on
February 24, 2015, City Office of Business Development staff provided an overview of the City's
affordable housing activities and the Consolidated Plan process, and responded to questions

Item 9. - 18 xB -41
from participants. A copy of the meeting presentation is provided in the Consolidated Plan
Appendix.
FY 2016/17 Annual Action Plan
The City of Huntington Beach has a Citizen Participation Plan to guide the City's CDBG citizen
participation process. All citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development,
and implementation of the Annual Action Plan. Organizations receiving direct CDBG funding are
in regular contact with City staff. Other organizations are consulted as -needed or have been
present at various public hearings held by the City. The City holds advertised public hearings each
year to gather input on community needs as part of the development of the Annual Action Plan
and to advise on the progress of existing subrecipients. In all cases, a Notice of Public Hearing is
published at least 15 days prior to the hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.
A draft 2016/17 Annual Action Plan was made available for public comment for a30-day period

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. 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: inclusionary 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 publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan

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.
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 24
HB -423- Item 9. - 29
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.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-year
period.

The City of Huntington Beach has seen an increase in
homelessness. This increase creates a demand to
provide needed services for homeless clients. In
2015/16, CDBG funds enabled the City to create a
new position - Homeless Outreach Coordinator, who
works within the Police Department and is the point
person for homeless issues. This includes the
coordination of non-profit service providers, to
ensure there is no overlap of services being provided
and that all service providers have knowledge of
what the City and each other are providing. In
addition, the person will help coordinate City
services regarding homeless encampments and
public information while working alongside the two
Police Liaison Officers to help locate shelter beds for
the homeless and rehabilitation (detox) beds for
those in need of assistance. For 2016/17, CDBG funds
will be used to add one (1) part-time case
manager/social worker to provide wrap -around
services to homeless clients.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(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 meeting the 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.

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%

$781,220 in HOME funds, leaving approximately $560,000 available for another affordable
housing project consisting of at least two HOME -restricted units.
HOME funds in the amount of $194,564 will also be used on a tenant based rental assistance
program for 14 very -low and low income households, focusing on veterans and seniors. The City
has selected Mercy House to be a provider of this program.
Lastly, the City will use CDBG Revolving Loan Funds to continue the City's Residential Rehab Loan
Program with a goal of assisting 15 homeowners.

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.

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 through the
Homeless Outreach Program. In addition, the Project Self Sufficiency program will assist single
parent families with minor children who are unstably housed to achieve self-sufficiency.
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
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 49
Item 9. - 54 xB -448-
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
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.
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 50
HB -449- Item 9. - 55
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
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.

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
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.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.22O(j)
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:

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. Because the May 2015 NOFA proved unsuccessful in negotiating
the development of an affordable housing project, the City has recently issued a new NOFA with
hopes to work with a local CHDO on an acquisition project.
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
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 56
HB -455- Item 9. - 61
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 -
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 (AMI), 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 addition, the City has recently issued a NOFA in
search of qualified CHDOs for acquisition opportunities.
In past years, the City has provided funding support to local public service agencies such as AIDS
Services Foundation that addressthe 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
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 57
Item 9. - 62 HB -456-
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.
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 increasefamily 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;
Huntington Beach 2016/17 Annual Action Plan 58
HB -457- Item 9. - 63
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
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.
x
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 strategy to 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
