BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Annually, the City is required to submit to HUD its CAPER, which reports on program performance
and accomplishments for the use of CDBG and HOME entitlement funds. The City is required to
conduct a public hearing to adopt the CAPER.
The purpose of the CAPER is threefold:
1 . It provides HUD with necessary information for it to meet its statutory requirement to assess
each grantee's ability to carry out relevant City programs in compliance with all applicable
City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 10/14/2020

File #: 20-1950 MEETING DATE: 10/19/2020
rules and regulations,
2. It provides information necessary for HUD's Annual Report to Congress, also statutorily
mandated; and,
3. It provides the City an opportunity to describe its successes in revitalizing deteriorated
neighborhoods and meeting objectives stipulated in the Consolidated Plan.
To those ends, the attached CAPER has been prepared in accordance with Federal guidelines. The
CAPER highlights the City's achievements during the implementation year of the HUD-funded
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME)
Programs covering July 1 , 2019, through June 30, 2020. Additionally, the CAPER reports the
progress the City made in carrying out its strategic plan as part of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan
and its Annual Action Plan.
Every five years, the City prepares a Consolidated Plan describing the proposed use of CDBG,
HOME, and other applicable Federal program funds. The Council-adopted Consolidated Plan
covering 2015-2020 identifies the City's overall vision and strategy for addressing housing and non-
housing community development needs in Huntington Beach. As a means to achieve the strategic
goals outlined by the Consolidated Plan, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that describes
projects, programs, and activities that will address the priority needs of low- and moderate-income
households through community development, economic development, housing, and public services
during the specified year.
Public Service Accomplishments (CDBG)
HUD allows up to 15 percent of CDBG funds to be used for public service programs, but in response
to COVID-19 and CARES Act funding, HUD waived this restriction and allowed for a total of
$441,789 for this funding during FY 2019-20. Public service programs are administered by City
departments and social service agencies that assist youth, homeless, elderly, and disabled
individuals.
For FY 2019-2020, public service program accomplishments included the following:
• Provided literacy services to 153 low-income adults to improve their ability to understand,
speak, read, and write English
• Assisted 264 children and families with after-school drop-in recreation services focused on
child development, parent education, and mental health
• Provided services to 401 at-risk older adults including care management, home delivered
meals, and transportation
• Provided homeless services to 408 people; 365 as part of the homeless outreach program
and 43 as part of StandUp for Kids street outreach program.
Capital Improvement Accomplishments (CDBG and RLF)

File #: 20-1950 MEETING DATE: 10/19/2020
For FY 2019-20, the City Council allocated $557,297 to capital projects, of which $228,102 were
derived from Revolving Loan Funds. These funds helped accomplish the completion of the ADA
Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 9. Other capital accomplishments include the completion of the
Central Library ADA Restroom Renovation Project in the amount of $176,000, which was approved in
FY 2018-19, and the Youth Shelter Roof, Structural, and ADA Improvement Project, which was
awarded $300,000 in FY 2017-18.
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (HOME)
The City continues to have success in providing short and medium-term rental assistance targeting
the homeless, those at risk of homelessness, veterans, and victims of domestic violence. Using
HOME funds, the City allocated $761,078 in funds for FY 2019-20 and was able to assist 96
households working with three operators to run the program.
It is recommended that after conducting the public hearing, the Mayor and City Council accept the
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, inclusive of public comments, and
authorize the City Manager to execute all required documents for transmittal to HUD by October 23,
2020.

Introduction
The City of Huntington Beach's (City) FY 2019/20 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation
Report (CAPER) is the fifth and final year-end performance evaluation under the 2015/16-
2019/20 Consolidated Plan. The CAPER discusses affordable housing outcomes, homelessness
and special needs activities, non-housing community development activities, and other actions
in furtherance of the City's Annual Action Plan Programs and Projects for Fiscal Year(FY) 2019/20.
This document will be formatted using HUD's CAPER template, which will be°submitted online by
way of the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).
The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) funds each year from the federal government to support housing and
community development activities that principally benefit,, low and moderate-income
households. To receive these federal funds, the City must adopt 'a five-year strategic plan that
identifies local needs, and how these needs will be prioritized and addressed using these federal
funds. In August 2015, the Huntington Beach City Council'`ado,pted a five-year (FY 2015/16-
2019/20) Consolidated Plan. Huntington Beach's Consolidated Plan builds upon several other
related planning documents, including: the 2010/2011-2014/2015 Consolidated Plan; the City's
2014-2021 Housing Element; 2015 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice; 2013 Orange
County Homeless Count and Survey Report, and the 2014 Orange County Continuum of Care.
Strategic Plan Summary
The City's Consolidated Plan strategy includes general priorities to meet the needs of the
community and the City's rationale for investment of federal funds. In order to address the needs,
the City identified five priorities having the greatest need in the community. The five priority
areas include:
1. Homeless Assistance
2'. Decent Housing
3. -Public Facilities and Infrastructure
4. Economic Development
5. Planning for Housing and Community Development
The five priorities were formed based on the national objectives and outcomes supported by
HUD as described below.
CAPER 1
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
166
• Provide decent affordable housing. The activities that typically would be found under this
objective are designed to cover a wide range of housing possibilities under HOME and
CDBG.
• Creating a suitable living environment. In general, this objective relates to activities that
are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their
living environment.
• Creating economic opportunities. This objective applies to the types,_of activities related
to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation:
National Objective Outcomes
The outcomes reflect what the grantee (the City) seeks to achieve by the funded activity. The
City of Huntington Beach associates the national objectives to these outcomes:
• Availability/Accessibility;
• Affordability; and
• Sustainability.
The City's strategy to meet HUD's national objectives and outcomes are described in Table 1

Summary
For fiscal year 2019/20, the City of Huntington Beach had a total of $3,179,267 in CDBG funds.
This total amount was comprised of $1,147,593 in Fiscal 2019/20 CDBG entitlement funds,
$199,910 in program income, $223,000 in a return to the local account, and $1,608,764 in prior
year unallocated CDBG funds carried forward. CDBG funds were used for public services, public
facility and infrastructure improvements, code enforcement, CDBG administration, residential
rehabilitation loan administration, and fair housing services.
The City of Huntington Beach also had available $3,812,150 in HOME Program funds comprised
of a FY 2019/20 allocation of$563,796, receipted program income of$2,342,573, and a carryover
balance of $905,781. The City used HOME funds for administration of the HOME program, and
three tenant based rental assistance programs.
Lastly, the City had $328,102 in Revolving Loan Funds (RLF) in FYI 2019/20 that was used to
implement the City's two owner-occupied single-family rehabilitation programs as well a public
infrastructure project. However, during the fiscal year, by substantial amendment to the City's
Annual Action Plan, the City cancelled the Revolving Loan Fund and reclassified the RLF balance
as program income. In this way, the City of Huntington'Beach has more flexibility in utilizing the
funds on any priority need outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
Based on the limited amount of federal and non-federal resources available for housing and
community development projects and programs, the City addressed the needs having a high
priority level in FY 2019/20.

Assess how the jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and
specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority
activities identified.
Consistent with the City's Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocates the
largest share of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (public
facilities, infrastructure, and public services), preceded by the community's housing needs and
program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The Consolidated Plan's five-year
priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME funds takes into consideration severaFfactors such
as: 1) those households most in need of housing and community development assistance, as
determined through the Consolidated Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public
participation process; 2)which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households;
and 3) the extent of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG
and HOME funds to address these needs.
Overall, the approved projects and programs in the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan assisted as
many participants as possible with limited resources available. The City originally contributed
the maximum allowable for CDBG Public Services (15 percent;of the annual allocation); however
the City was allowed to exceed the statutory 15 percent maximum as part of the CARES Act that
was signed into law on March 27, 2020 as a means to help cities across the nation to respond
to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic. By substantial amendment, the City provided additional
public service funds to the Senior Services Care Management Program in the amount of$15,000
to help offset costs associated with increasing'the number of senior meals provided to elderly
residents of Huntington Beach. The City also provided an additional $25,000 to the Children's
Bureau After School Program as the agency began providing all-day care for distant learners as
schools closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the City Council authorized a new
public service, the Cameron Lane `Navigation Center Operations, which will utilize both CDBG
program income ($772,181) and CARES Act funds ($727,819) to cover the costs of operating an
emergency homeless shelter during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is likely that this project will not
get=funded until FY 2020/21.
The City exceeded their public services goals by a cumulative 5% in the areas of youth services,
homeless services, family services, and senior services. The City also exceeded its code
enforcement goal of inspecting 600 housing units for local health and safety compliance by over
224%.
In the area of affordable housing—another major priority in the Huntington Beach Consolidated
Plan — the City utilizes three programs to meet the affordable housing needs of Huntington
Beach residents: homeowner rehabilitation, acquisition/rehabilitation/new construction
projects, and tenant based rental housing. In FY 2019/20, the City underperformed in the
CAPER 12
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
177
homeowner rehabilitation programs. The City's goal was to fund and complete seven
rehabilitation projects over the course of the year but was only able to complete two. Five
additional projects are currently underway, completion being stalled due to the COVID-19
pandemic and stay at home order during the third and fourth quarters of the program year.
These projects will be counted in the FY 2020/21 CAPER.
The City also had a goal to rehabilitate seven affordable rental housing units via a partnership
with a local CHDO, American Family Housing, the County of Orange, and the City of
Westminster; however, the project was cancelled by substantial amendment in June 2020.
While no new units were produced this fiscal year, it is important to note that the City, has
already exceeded its 5-year Consolidated Plan goal to produce eight units of affordable rental
housing. To date, the City has created 13 new affordable rental housing units in-Huntington
Beach. In FY 2016/17, it completed nine units at 313 11th Street and in IF 2017/18, it completed
another four units at 7792 Barton Drive, both in partnership with the Orange County Community
Housing Corporation, Inc.
The third program the City funds to meet the affordable housing needs of Huntington Beach
residents is tenant based rental assistance,programs. In FY 2019/20, the City funded three
separate programs with a cumulative goal to provide rental assistance to 61 low and moderate-
income households.The City exceeded its goal with 96 households assisted, many of which were
assisted at the end of the program year as many of Huntington Beach's residents experienced a
loss of income due to the Coronavirus.
In FY 2019/20, the City allocated approximately $558,000 in CDBG and Revolving Loan Funds to
the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 9 project. The project was completed on schedule and
provides 3,768 disabled persons with improved access to streets in the area encompassing
Maintenance Zone 9. The City also completed two prior year public facility projects—the Central
Library ADA Restroom"`Renovation Project, and the RLF Youth Shelter Roof, Structural, and ADA
Improvement Project. Together, 14,681 persons benefit from improved access to these widely
used facilities in Huntington Beach.
As a reminder, results will vary from year to year depending on when they are funded and when
they are completed. Generally, affordable housing, public facility, and public infrastructure
projects span multiple years. The accomplishments for projects and programs that have been
funded in FY 2019/20 or sooner and are currently underway will be included in the CAPER once
the national objective has been met at project completion.

Narrative
For program year 2019/20, the majority of the CDBG allocation was invested in Community
Development and non-Community Del .yeld-pment activities, such as infrastructure and public
facilities, public services, code enforcement, administration, and affordable housing. HOME
funds were invested in tenant-based rental assistance for homeless persons, victims of domestic
violence, and for households-affected by COVID-19. As a result, approximately 11 percent of
Asians and just over 15 percent of Hispanics participating in CDBG funded activities or services
received'some type of assistance. In the HOME-funded tenant based rental assistance programs,
eight percent assisted were black or African American, eight percent were Asian, and 36 percent
were Hispanic. Also noteworthy is the City's commitment to benefit disabled persons in
Huntington Beach as evident with its investment in ADA projects. Of the total persons assisted in
FY 2019/20, approximately 18,500 were disabled per U.S. Census Data.

Narrative
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, or to special needs populations in the community.
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 deteriorate,d '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.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
The City is required to provide a 25 percent match for HOME funds drawn down on all HOME
activities, sans those funded with program income or administrative funds. The City leverages
resources among the formula grant programs. Historically, the City has met the HOME match by
layering former redevelopment tax increment with HOME-assisted affordable' housing
acquisition and rehabilitation. As a result of past leveraging contributions toward affordable
housing activities,the City has a surplus of match credits.The match carry-over surplus from prior
years was $2,794,026.
The City's HOME match liability for FY 2019/20 was $52,138.The match requirement will be met
by utilizing the excess match surplus of $2,794,026. The excess, match carried over to the next
fiscal year is $2,741,888.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting
these goals.
The City's one-year goals as outlined in the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan were based on plans
to utilize the 2019/20 HOME allocation plus prior year uncommitted HOME funds. Affordable
housing goals included assisting 61 households with rental assistance through three Tenant
Based Rental Assistance Programs that focus on homeless persons and families including those
with special needs (seniors, veterans, and victims of domestic violence). Interval House had a
goal of assisting 22 households but surpassed its goal with assisting 58 households. Families
Forward proposed to assist 15 households, but only accomplished 66% of that goal with 10
households. Finally, Mercy House proposed to assist 24 households but provided rental
assistance to 28. Overall, the City met 158 percent of its tenant based rental assistance goal,
CAPER 20
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
185
due in large part to assistance provided to households affected by the COVID-19 pandemic
during the last quarter of FY 2019/20.
Additionally, the City proposed to assist seven eligible households with home improvements
through the City's Housing Rehab Loan and Grant Programs but was only able to complete two
projects by June 30, 2020. Five additional projects were funded during the fiscal year, however
with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the projects were put on hold. Construction has
resumed on all five projects with completion expected in FY 2020/21.
While the City did not propose any projects to develop affordable rental housing in FY 2019/20,
it is worth noting that the City has already exceeded its 5-year Consolidated Plan goal to produce
eight units of affordable rental housing. To date, the City has creafed 11new affordable rental
housing units in Huntington Beach. In FY 2016/17, it completed nine units at`313 111"Street and
in FY 2017/18, it completed another four units at 7792 Barton Drive, both in partnership with
the Orange County Community Housing Corporation, Inc.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
By the end of the fifth and final year of the S-Yea r Consolidated Plan timeframe, the City has
already exceeded both its development of affordable rental housing and tenant based rental
assistance goals. However, these two programs continue to be a priority for City staff. In fact, in
the new Consolidated Plan cycle that corers FY 2020/21 through FY 2024/25, the City has
proposed to invest over$5.8 million to continue support for these programs.
CDBG and CDBG Revolving Loan Funds also support the City's affordable housing goals. During
the past five years of this Consolidated Plan timeframe, the City has used CDBG Revolving Loan
Funds to support two owner-occupied housing rehabilitation programs.The grant program offers
a maximum of$10,000`to help homeowners pay for deferred maintenance and health and safety-
related household repairs: Deferred maintenance can include paint, siding replacement, window
and door replacement, roof repair, or removal of any condition of blight. Household repairs may
include restoration or replacement of inoperable or severely deteriorated plumbing, heating, and
electrical systems, structural and appliance replacement. The City's loan program, on the other
hand, offers assistance of up to $75,000 for substantial rehabilitation. Together, the City's goal
was to assist 75 homeowners with home repairs and improvements over the five-year
Consolidated Plan period. By the end of the Consolidated Plan period, 41 grants/loans were
completed, or 55% of its goal. Even so, the City still found these programs to be a priority need
in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and will therefore continue to fund the programs in the
upcoming year.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Beginning in 2015, the City assigned a full-time officer dedicated to homeless issues and has
continued to allocate resources as the number of homeless continues to grow.The°City's efforts
have grown to include a Homeless Task Force (with two full-time officers, 1 program coordinator
5
and up to 4 case managers) and a plan to create a Navigation Center to provide shelter for eligible
homeless individuals with ties to Huntington Beach. This-.multi-pronged= approach is
accomplished in a variety of ways such as weekly outreach to engage homeless individuals and
determine their needs, reuniting individuals with family members, working within the County's
Coordinated Entry System to match individuals and families with housing opportunities, assisting
in eviction prevention, maintaining walk-in office hours at the South Police Substation, as well as
working cooperatively with local schools to assist children who are,homeless or housing insecure.
Since 2015, officers and case managers have' helped hundreds of individuals transition off the
streets (with many being reunified with family).
The Office of Business Development and the Police,Department were granted $81,505 in CDBG
public service funds in FY 2019/20 to fund,`a part-time Homeless Coordinator position and three
part-time Homeless Case Manager to serve as the City's point persons for homeless issues. The
Homeless Coordinator acts as,liaison with non-profit organizations and for-profit groups such as
mental health centers, hospitals, chiarches, shelters, addiction centers and rehabilitation
programs. The Coordinator, and Case Manager also assisted the Police Department in locating
shelter beds for the homeless and rehabilitation (detox) beds for those in need of assistance. In
addition,these positions help coordinate City services regarding homeless encampments, public
information, and most recently the preparation, prevention, and response to COVID-19. As a
result, 365 unduplicated homeless individuals were assisted in FY 2019/20.
Also funded FY 2019/20 was a street outreach program aimed specifically to reach out and assess
homeless youth residing on the streets of Huntington Beach. The StandUP for Kids Street
Outreach Program is a county-wide program where volunteer staff scout Orange County streets
searching for youth who are currently unsheltered or unstably housed. StandUp for Kids serves
teens and youth (ages 12 - 24) who are homeless, at-risk, aging-out of foster care, or runaways
to equip them with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a life of stability
and opportunity. The Street Outreach program provided basic services (food, clothing, hygiene
items, and survival kits) as well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring. Each city
CAPER 23
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
188
program is supported by a Program Director who is responsible for making connections with key
contacts in the city, supervising all weekly city visits, organizing and training all volunteers, and
maintaining records of clients served. In FY 2019/20, 43 youth were assisted through this
program.
Finally, the City provided $761,078 in HOME funds to three subrecipients, Interval House, Mercy
House, and Families Forward to implement tenant based rental assistance programs in FY
2019/20. The programs are aimed at homeless, seniors, and veteran populations..,..:The needs of
the participants were assessed, and resources were provided to meet their needs, particularly as
it relates to housing. In the program year, 96 households were assisted, most of which'were
homeless or would be homeless if it were not for the tenant based rental assistance programs.
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;'Mercy House; Beach Cities Interfaith
Services; 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 participation in the Huntington Beach Homeless Collaborative,the City will also support
the provision of emergency housing and services by the local faith-based community.
In FY 2019/20, the City partnered with Interval House, Mercy House, and Families Forward to
provide tenant based rental 'assistance to the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. The
City had a goal of providing TBRA to 61 homeless,senior, and veteran households, and ultimately
provided support to 96 households, a success rate of 158 percent.
By substantial amendment to the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan in June 2020, the City allotted
a total of$1.5 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV (CARES Act) funds to the Cameron Lane Navigation
Center Operations Program. The Navigation Center, to be located at 17631 Cameron Lane, is
currently in the development stages, and once built, will be available to house homeless persons
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Federal funds will offset the cost of operations such as
staffing, utilities, maintenance, and wrap around homeless services that will be necessary to help
the City prevent, prepare for,and respond to the continued threat of the Coronavirus to the City's
vulnerable homeless population.
CAPER 24
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being
discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities,
mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and
institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing,
health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
To help prevent homelessness and protect at-risk populations, Huntington Beach continued 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. For example, in FY
2016/17, the City entered into an affordable housing agreement with`a local CHDO, Orange
County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC), to acquire and rehabilitate a rental four-plex
located at 7792 Barton Drive. The project was granted $781,220 in 'HOME funds and was
completed in April 2018.
Additionally, the City provided tenant based rental assistance to 96 households that were
homeless or at risk of homelessness FY 2019/20. Many of the households specifically assisted in
the fourth quarter of the program year were homeless prevention clients who suffered a sudden
loss of income due to the Coronavirus.-
As discussed above, the City also funded both the City's Homeless Outreach Program and the
StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program in FY 2019/20. The StandUp for Kids program
specifically helps homeless youth ages` 12 through 24 in their transition out of foster care.
Services provided range from attending to their basic needs for food, clothing, hygiene, and
medical care to assessingand mentoring these individuals to exit homelessness. In FY 2019/20,
this program assisted 43 youth, while the City's Homeless Outreach Program assisted 365
persons.
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.
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
CAPER 25
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
190
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 focused on the development of sustainable and effective programming,
including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnering with experienced
service providers capable of leveraging other funding; creating or securing affordable housing;
performing homeless case management; and engaging the homeless through a street outreach
component in order to better connect them to available services.
Additionally, the Huntington Beach City Council approved funding of $1.5 million in CDBG to
operate an emergency homeless shelter with wrap around services to help homeless individuals
transition to more stable housing upon exiting the shelter. While the shelter is still in the
development stages, it should be operational in FY 2020/21._
Thirdly, the City continued to provide tenant based rental assistance to qualified households in
FY 2019/20.The need for rental subsidies continues to'be a priority for the City, and in May 2020,
the City released a NOFA/RFP to qualified agencies.with.experience administering HOME-funded
TBRA programs, and a selection was made in June2020 for TBRA implementation in FY 2020/21.

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 both '.'for sale" and rental
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 addressed the City's provisions
for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The
City's 2013-2021 Housing Element specifically addresses the variety of regulatory and financial
tools used by the City to remove barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing,
including the following:

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 continued to seek other-,resources and funding sources to address the biggest
obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of, and/or,

• 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 Housing 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.
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 a,nd 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 taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
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 implementation of two Business
Improvement Districts, and its Economic Development Strategy.

In terms of employment training and supportive services, the City continued to support the
Project Self-Sufficiency program with non-CDBG funds. This program aims to assist low income
single parents with children to achieve economic independence from public assistance through
personal development, education, and job training. Participants were encouraged to attend a
monthly support meeting focusing on providing skills, abilities, and resources to promote self-
sufficiency.
Additionally,the City supported literacy programs for families (Oakview Family Literacy Program)
with a combination of General Funds and CDBG that helped to enhance the employability of 153
low-income persons with deficient English speaking, reading, and writing skills. The City also
funded an afterschool program with CDBG which allow parents to work while their children are
cared for during work hours. The Children's Bureau assisted 264 children in FY 2019/20.
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
Also, the City of Huntington Beach supported a variety of economic development activities that
helped to create and retain jobs for low and moderate-income households. Activities supported
include access to Surf City Locator, a free property listing and demographics website that is
available 24/7 and is fed directly through the largest and most up-to-date commercial and
industrial listing service in Southern California. Each listing is connected to a world of helpful
5111
community demographic data, retail potential, heat maps, zoning information, labor market &
talent pool details, and more.The City also implemented the BusinessLink Program, which brings
City Councilmembers and staff into the Huntington Beach community to speak directly with firm
owners and operators at their place of business. The goal of the program is to further the
relationship between the City and the business community by asking what can be done to assist
them and sharing information and resources of which the business owner may be unaware.
Lastly, on June 15, City Council approved the COVID-19 Small Business Relief Program to deliver
grants of up to $10,000 to Huntington Beach businesses with 30 or fewer employees. The City
will fast track the Program to provide immediate relief to local businesses that have experienced
hardship due to COVID-19. The City has partnered with the Orange County Small Business

Development Center (OC SBDC) to administer this Program, which is entirely funded with $4.75
million of one-time federal CARES Act funds distributed to the City by the Orange County Board
of Supervisors.
The City fully complied 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 taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
As the recipient of CDBG and HOME funds,the City delegated the Office ofBusiness Development
to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD grants. In that
regard,the Division prepared the Consolidated Plan and the Regional Analysis of Impediments to
Fair Housing Choice, drafted the Annual Action Plan and CAPER, as well as all other reports
required by federal rules and regulations.
The City has worked with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs,
organizations, neighborhood leadership groups,'City departments, the private sector, and other
government entities 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 de'-elivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to
moderate residents has been vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City also utilized
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 taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City 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. The array of partners includes but is 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,

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdiction's analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
In FY 2015/16,the City, in collaboration with 15 other Orange County cities, completed a Regional
Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The report provides for a variety of activities to
promote fair housing choice awareness and knowledge of state and federal fair housing laws.
The activities are identified in Attachment 1—City of Huntington Beach Fair Housing Plan 2015/16
—2019/20.
The actions taken below are primarily implemented by the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF), with
coordination and oversight by the City's Office of Business Development.'
Education and Outreach Activities
In partnership with the FHF, the City conducted multi-faceted fair housing outreach to
Huntington Beach tenants, landlords, property owners, realtors, and property management
companies. Methods of outreach included'` workshops, informational booths at community
events, presentations to civic leaders and community groups, staff trainings, and distribution of
multi-lingual fair housing literature. In FY 2019/20, the FHF provided 211 unduplicated
households with these direct client services: Majority ofdirect client services (80%) were given
to in-place tenants that requested information covered by fair housing laws.
The FHF also provided a comprehensive, extensive, and viable education and outreach program.
The purpose of this program was to educate managers, tenants, landlords, owners, realtors, and
property management companies' on fair housing laws, to promote media and consumer
interest, and to secure grass roots involvement within communities. FHF specifically aimed their
outreach to persons and "protected classes that were most likely to encounter housing
discrimination. FHF conducted regularly scheduled "All Area Activities" that directly benefited
residents of Huntington Beach. In FY 2019/20, 294 individuals were assisted within city limits,
two fair housing workshops were offered, and 14 individuals were trained in fair housing laws
and practices.
Third, the FHF participated in many community relations events including making contact with
nine agencies to discuss fair housing; attended eight agency and community meetings; made ten
agency and community presentations; and distributed 7,066 pieces of literature including in
Huntington Beach.
Finally, the City worked to enhance access to services and housing for residents with limited
CAPER 33
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
198
English proficiency. For the federal CDBG program, the City offered to make public notices
available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese, and ensured translators were available at public
meetings, if requested.
Landlord/Tenant Counseling Services
Another service provided by the Fair Housing Foundation are landlord and tenant counseling
services. FHF counsels managers, owners, realtors, landlords and tenants on their rights and
responsibilities. FHF Housing Counselors counsel each client initially to determine if any fair
housing violations have occurred. A total of 246 persons received these counseling services in FY
2019/20. Of the issues counseled on, majority had to do with noticing at 54%, habitability at 16%,
general issues at 12%, and lease terms, rent increases, and security deposits at 8°% each.
Additionally, FHF continued to provide investigation and response to allegations of illegal housing
discrimination. Of the 21 allegations of discrimination, 19 were resolved and two resulted in
further investigation including a review of documents and a site survey:These two cases of illegal
discrimination are based on national origin and familial status.:These cases are currently still
under investigation. For cases that cannot be conciliated, FHF refers them to the Department of
Fair Housing and Employment (DFEH), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), small claims court, or to a private attorney, as warranted.
Investigative Testing and Auditing Local Real Estate Markets
Audits were used to address.a lack of bonafide`cases during the fiscal year. Through counseling
and case management, FHF identified that the most common complaints being alleged were
based on disability. 'Specifically, for the City of Huntington Beach, of the 21 allegations of
discrimination received, 16 or 76%, were regarding disability. In response to this, the FHF
provided training to housing providers and has develop an "Accommodations & Modification 101
Workshop" to help address, the concerns and responsibilities housing providers have toward
persons with disabilities. The workshop is currently being offered virtually due to the COVID-19
pandemic.

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of,and reasons for,any changes in the jurisdiction's program objectives and
indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
The City of Huntington Beach submitted one administrative (minor) and two substantial
amendments to its 2019/20 Annual Action Plan.
First, on November 25, 2019, the City processed a minor amendment to redistribute CDBG and
CDBG-Revolving Loan Funds from the Owner Occupied Single-Family, Condo, and Mobile Home
Rehab Program, Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehab Loan Program,, and the Housing
Rehabilitation Administration activities to the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenances Zone 9 public
facility project. With the redistribution of these funds, the City-was able to meet its CDBG
timeliness test on May 2, 2020.
Next, on June 15, 2020,following the National Emergency concerning the'Novel Coronavirus and
the subsequent law enacting the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act),
the Huntington Beach City Council authorized the following changes to the FY 2019/20 Annual
Action Plan:
• Cancellation of the 2018 Huntington Beach,-,Navigation, ,Center Project (Emergency Homeless
Shelter) at 15311 Pipeline Lane.
• Cancellation of the 2019 Section 108 Loan Repayment activity, originally funded with
$220,536 in CDBG funds.
• The addition of a new public service called the Cameron Lane Navigation Center Operations
Program. The City allocated $772,181 in CDBG program income and $727,819 in CARES Act
(CDBG-CV) funding, for a total of $1.5 million, to cover costs associated with the operations
of an emergency homeless facility located at 17631 Cameron Lane, Huntington Beach. Costs
such as staffing, utilities, maintenance, and wrap around homeless services will be necessary
to help the City prevent, prepare for, and respond to the continued threat of the Coronavirus
to the City's vulnerable homeless population.
• An increase of CDBG funding by $25,000 to the City's Children's Bureau public service. The
program, which normally offered after school care to students of low-to-moderate income
families, extended its hours to full day care, hired additional staff for smaller staff/children
ratios, and incurred additional equipment and supply costs because of COVID-19.
• An increase of CDBG funding by $15,000 to the City's Senior Services Care Management
program to cover additional staff costs due to the increase in demand for senior meals
brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Close out of the City of Huntington Beach Revolving Loan Fund Program. In 2004, the City of
Huntington Beach established a CDBG revolving loan fund for the purpose of carrying out
CAPER 37
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
202
specific housing rehabilitation activities which, in turn, generated payments to the fund for
use in carrying out the same activities. Revolving loan funds collected from rehabilitation
loans are considered program income.The City will continue to use collected program income
revenues on housing rehabilitation activities but will have added flexibility in using the
program income on other CDBG-eligible uses as well.
• Cancellation of the 15161 Jackson Street Navigation Center Project that was previously
awarded $667,808 in HOME funds. The project was cancelled by the developer, American
Family Housing.
• An increase in the HOME Administration budget in the amount of$234,569 for a total HOME
allocation of$290,949.
Finally, on August 3, 2020, the City approved Amendment No.`Three (substantial).to the Annual
Action Plan which included the following actions:
• In increase in CDBG funding of$1,500 to the City's Special Code-Enforcement Program, for a
total allocation of$191,500.
• An increase of CDBG funding of $8,150 to the City's Homeless Outreach Program, for a total
allocation of $81,505. The Homeless Outreach Program experienced an increased level of
service calls connected to housing homeless :persons during the National Emergency
concerning the Novel Coronavirus. Additional funds are being allocated to pay for costs
associated with preparing, preventing and responding to COVID-19.
• An increase in the HOME Administration budget in the amount of$100,000 for a total HOME
allocation of $390,949. Additional administrative funds were needed to offset costs
associated with the administration of the City's Tenant Based Rental Assistance Programs
that will be implemented as part of the City's strategy to prepare, prevent, and respond to
COVID-19, additional strategic,l,:planning needed to utilize CARES Act funding, and other
affordable housing"related costs.
