Analysis:
Background
Each year, the City of Huntington Beach receives entitlement grant funds from HUD, under the
CDBG and HOME programs, to carry out a wide variety of community development activities that
benefit lower-income Huntington Beach residents. As part of its responsibility in receiving these
funds, the City is required to prepare and submit an annual Action Plan delineating the proposed use
of CDBG and HOME funds. To comply with HUD regulations, the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan must
be received by HUD this year on or before May 14, 2021.
2021-2022 Action Plan
The Action Plan is a federally-mandated document in a prescribed format that describes how the
City's use of CDBG and HOME funds addresses the priorities in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan
that was adopted by the City Council on July 6, 2020. The 2021-2022 Action Plan covers the
upcoming fiscal year (beginning July 1, 2021. and ending June 30, 2022).
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan included a Strategic Plan as a component document, which
established the following funding priorities for the CDBG and HOME programs:
• Sustain and strengthen neighborhoods.
• Preserve existing and create new affordable housing.
• Support efforts to address homelessness.
• Support agencies that assist special needs populations.
• Increase access to community services to low/moderate income persons.
• Provide needed infrastructure improvements.
• Support community development programs.
Each year. the City issues a Notice of Funding Availability inviting the submission of applications for
Public Services programs and Capital and Housing Preservation projects, in compliance with HUD
regulations that require public participation in the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds.
The CPAB reviews all eligible applications, receives public input, hears oral presentations from the
applicants. and makes funding recommendations to the City Council. The draft 2021-2022 Action
Plan includes the CPAB recommendations that were developed, taking into consideration the
priorities and objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan.

File #: 21-312 MEETING DATE: 4/19/2021
On February 11, the CPAB conducted a publicly-noticed meeting that provided citizens the
opportunity to participate in the CDBG and HOME program funding recommendation process. The
CPAB heard presentations from 12 applicants virtually for CDBG Public Services, deliberated, and
made funding recommendations. On February 25, the CPAB conducted a second meeting and
heard presentations from two fair housing applicants and five Capital and Housing Preservation
applicants. The CPAB also deliberated and made funding recommendations that evening for these
two categories. At each of these meetings, the CPAB voted to:
• Recommend funding to five of the 12 Public Services applications that were received by a 4-0
vote.
• Recommended funding the Fair Housing Foundation by a 4-0 vote (as fair housing is a HUD
mandate program).
• Recommend funding all five Capital and Housing Preservation applications by a 4-0 vote.
When the CPAB met on February 11 and 25, the CDBG and HOME allocations for Fiscal Year 2021-
2022 had not been released by HUD; therefore, initial funding recommendations were based on
current 2020-2021 allocations. In these instances, HUD guidance to cities is to use current fiscal year
allocations to meet CDBG and HOME mandated deadlines. Subsequent to the February 25 CPAB
meeting, the City's CDBG and HOME funding allocations from HUD for the 2021-2022 Program Year
were released, including $1 ,238,214 for CDBG and $618,233 for HOME. On March 15, the City
Council and CPAB held a joint study session to review and modify the CPAB recommendations,
based upon the final funding allocations from HUD.
The following tables contains the final CDBG and HOME funding and allocation levels for the 2021-

Service programs, 20 percent towards Administration, and the remaining amount towards Capital and
Housing Preservation. As previously noted, the initial CPAB recommendations from February 11 and
25 were modified on March 15 to address the subsequent release of the City's 2021-2022 CDBG and
HOME funding allocations. The CPAB recommended allocating $185,732 towards five of the 12
Public Services applications that were received, allocating $247,642 towards Administration, and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.22o(b)
Huntington Beach's 2020/21-2024/25 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 2021/22 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD
entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home
Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Current year entitlements combined with
reallocations and repayments from prior year activities (program income) bring the total
estimated funding for program year 2021/22 to over$1.8 million ($1,238,214 in CDBG funds and
$618,233 in HOME funds). The following Annual Action Plan describes resources, programs,
activities and actions Huntington Beach will undertake in FY 2021/22 to implement its strategic
plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and objectives, summarized in the

Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three
predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community
impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or
program funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one
Huntington Beach 2021-2022 Annual Action 2
82
of three outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as
HUD's CPD Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and
outcomes to choose from:
Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit
communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment,
from physical problems with their environment to social issues.
• Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the
purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.
• Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic
development,commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public
services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and
moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
• Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low-
and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or
service to benefit a low-income household.
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or
neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons
of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas,
through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
Huntington Beach's Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment was developed by reviewing
Census statistical data and building upon already adopted planning documents, coupled with
consultation with housing, homeless and service providers, City Departments, and the public
via community meetings, public hearings, and a Community Needs Assessment Survey. The
result was the formation of seven areas of priority need, including:
i. Households with Housing Problems - The need for affordable housing options in the
City continue to be high, based on the proportion of households in the City
experiencing cost burdens.
2. Homelessness - Homelessness continues to be growing and pressing issue in
Huntington Beach and regionally. The City will continue to fund and support efforts
that address homelessness and serve persons experiencing homelessness.

83
3. Special Needs Populations - There are a number of special needs populations in the
City that need continued services and support. These include but are not limited to
persons with severe mental illness, veterans, persons with substance abuse
addictions,and seniors.
4. Priority Community Services - There are a number of vital community services in the
City that need continued services and support. These community services serve low to
moderate income households and include activities such as youth and senior services.
5. Priority Community and Public Facilities -The City recognizes the high need for public
improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe
and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not
limited to, homeless shelters, parks and recreational centers, youth centers, and
healthcare facilities.
6. Priority Infrastructure Improvements - The City recognizes the high need for public
improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe
and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not
limited to, street and road improvements, sidewalk improvements, flood drainage
improvements, and tree planting.
7. Other Housing and Community Development Needs -The City has identified the need
to provide support for the HOME and CDBG programs in the City, as well as to
affirmatively further fair housing. These activities are vital to the continuation of the
City's efforts to administer these programs.
In FY 2021122, the City of Huntington Beach is proposing to fund several programs to meet
the priority needs of Huntington Beach residents as listed above.
Evaluation of past performance
The first year of the FY 2020/21 — 2024/25 Consolidated Plan is still in process and performance
accomplishments will be fully captured in the year-end FY 2020/21 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). However, below is a summary of performance
to date.
Decent Housing
• In FY 2020/21, the City provided $2.8 million in HOME funding for a 43-unit affordable
senior housing project at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project is being built in
partnership with the city's local Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO), Jamboree Housing Corporation. Seventeen units will be HOME-income and
rent restricted. Upon completion of this project that is currently underway, the City
will have accomplished 85% of its 20-unit development goal for the 2020121-2024/25

• Also in the area of providing decent housing, the City allocated $642,000 in HOME
funds to assist 55 households with tenant based rental assistance in FY 202o/21. The 24-
month program is currently being administered by three operators: Mercy House,
Interval House, and Families Forward. The program was integral to the city's response
to the COVI D-19 pandemic.
• The Residential Rehabilitation Program consists of a grant and loan program. First, the
Owner-Occupied Single-Family, Condo, and Mobile Home Grant Program Home
Improvement Program offers a one-time grant not to exceed $to,000 to low-income
homeowners for deferred maintenance and health and safety-related household
repairs. The City's Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program, in
comparison, offers low-income homeowners up to $75,00o in deferred payment loans.
Both programs are intended to assist low-income homeowners to make much needed
repairs to keep their property safe and livable. CDBG funds in the amount of $255,000
was awarded to homeowner residential rehabilitation in FY 2020/21.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City's Special Code Enforcement program continues to accomplish their goal of
assisting boo housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas.
• The City has assisted various public service agencies. While the number of public
service programs assisted with CDBG funds has been reduced due to decreased
CDBG entitlement funds, the City continues to work towards its goals in providing
quality and effective services to youth, homeless, seniors, the disabled, and illiterate
adults, as well as fair housing services funded through Administrative costs, to the
Huntington Beach community.
• The City has a goal to assist 5,000 persons with improved or new public facilities during
the 2020121-2024125 Consolidated Plan period. To date, the City has not awarded any
funds to public facility projects.
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21 for the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone
3 Project with an anticipated performance goal of assisting nearly 2,000 persons. In FY
2021/22, the City will continue making sidewalk improvements in Maintenance Zone 5.
At the end of FY 2019/20 and again during FY 2020/21, the City was awarded a special
Huntington Beach 2021-2022 Annual Action 5
85
allocation of $2,159,775 in CARES Act CDBG funding to help Huntington Beach prepare,
prevent, and respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. Of these funds, the City awarded
over $2 million, plus an additional S1.3 million in CDBG entitlement funds and program
income to the operations of a new emergency homeless shelter at 17631 Cameron
Lane. The shelter provides 147 beds for homeless residents who receive wrap around
services including health, employment, and other services to gradually move them
towards more stable housing.The shelter is operated by Mercy House.
Economic Opportunity
• During 20106, 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. These efforts resulted in a bilingual Code
Enforcement officer being specifically hired to serve the Oak View community. Staff
has continued to connect the Fair Housing Foundation to the Oak View community,
and they are now non-voting partners of the Oak View Collaborative, which will give
them increased access to the clientele in need being served out of the Oak View Family
Resource Center.
• The City continues to utilize CDBG funding for a literacy program at the Oak View
Library which enhances the skills of the Huntington Beach workforce.
• While not funded with federal CDBG funds,the City in 2017, prepared a comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to identify the
highest priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set
goals, policies and recommended actions for short term (0-2 years), mid-term (3-5
years),and long-term economic decisions.
Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
The City developed its 2021/22 Annual Action Plan through extensive consultation and
coordination with housing, social service 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.

AP-to Consultation - 91.100, 91.2oo(b), 91.2150)
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City developed its five-year (2020/21 — 2024/25) 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.
The City funds a Homeless Task Force made up of staff from the City's Police Department, and
it consists of a homeless outreach coordinator, case managers, and Huntington Beach Police
Department Homeless Liaison Officers who coordinate 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 synchronizing
efforts and sharing information to most effectively address the issue of homelessness in
Huntington Beach. It is the goal of the City to provide the homeless population with skilled
individuals who are able to navigate the County's Coordinated Entry System. Additionally,
these individuals must have knowledge of broader housing opportunities, mental health and
addiction resources, medical resources, and job resources. In 2021/22, this team will include
one Homeless Outreach Coordinator and three (3) part-time Homeless Case Managers, all of
whom work with the Homeless Liaison Police Officers, to further increase the level of service
to the homeless population.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Huntington Beach, through its Homeless Outreach Case Manager, 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 and
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 2021/22Annual Action Plan 10
90
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.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes,and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The City of Huntington Beach does not receive ESG funds, so this is not applicable.

EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c) (1,2)
For fiscal year 2021/22, the City of Huntington Beach will receive a total of $1,238,214 in CDBG
entitlement funds. The City does not anticipate any prior year CDBG funds carried forward or
program income. The City does not have any income from float-funded activities or surplus
from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans
outstanding or written off, CDBG acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown
payments. Nor is the City funding any "urgent need activities." CDBG funds will be used for
public services, public infrastructure improvements, housing services in support of eligible
HOME activities, a single-family rehabilitation program, code enforcement, CDBG
administration, and fair housing services.
The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of $618,233. The City does not
anticipate any unallocated HOME carryover or program income in FY 2021/22. in The City will
use HOME funds for administration of the HOME program, tenant-based rental assistance,
and an affordable housing project.
In January 2oi9, SB-2 was implemented, which levies an additional tax on the sale of property.
These revenues are collected by the state and distributed to local jurisdictions to fund
affordable housing projects. With the adoption by the Huntingtin beach City Council and
certification by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD),
the City is now eligible to receive revenues from this funding source. The City of Huntington
Beach is slated to receive approximately $550,000 per year from this source which can be used
to leverage CDBG and HOME funds in the areas of affordable housing and homelessness.
The Huntington Beach Housing Authority also contributes approximately $22o,000 annually
from the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for a Homeless Police
Liaison Officer(SERAF)as part of the City's Homeless Taskforce effort.
The City may also receive special allocations to CDBG and/or HOME as part of the $1.9 trillion
coronavirus relief legislation, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which is slated to provide
funding for emergency rental relief, development of affordable rental housing for homeless
or those at risk of homelessness, and homeowner foreclosure prevention. Details on grants
specifically to Huntington Beach are still unknown at this time.
The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and

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 otherfunding 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.
The City has also leveraged CDBG and CDBG-CV funds with local monies to fund the operations
of the Cameron Lane Navigation Center, a new emergency homeless shelter that was
constructed to provide a safe place for homeless persons to live during the COVID-19
pandemic.
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
$2,741,888 as of September 30, 2019.
Due to the National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, HUD
has waived the City's HOME Match requirement for all expenditures beginning October 1, 2019
and will continue to do so through September 30, 2021. The City received this waiver on April
24, 2020.
If appropriate,describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that

family households. Of these households, 49 will be of extremely low and eight will be of very-
low income.
Further, in FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2,83o,698 in HOME funds to the Huntington Beach
Senior Housing Project located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project will be developed with

PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects - 9i.22o(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during Fiscal Year
2021/22 to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed
activities are eligible and meet program service targets. Additionally, the City of Huntington
Beach has not exceeded any of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG
administration, or HOME administration. With a CDBG allocation of $1,238,214, the City of
Huntington Beach allocated $185,732 for public services, representing just under 15% of the
CDBG entitlement.This Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2021/22 public
services: Homeless Outreach Program ($50,000); Senior Services Care Management
($34,555); Children's Bureau ($80,000); StandUp for Kids Street Outreach ($12,177); and
Oakview Family Literacy Program ($q,000). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum
allocation of 20% of the annual entitlement, or $247,642, for CDBG administration activities.
The City has allocated $217,642 for CDBG Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing
Foundation, for a total Of $247,642, the maximum allowed. Lastly, a maximum of 1o% of the
annual HOME entitlement, $61,823, was allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY
2021/22.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/21-2024125, the Annual Action
Plan may contain a list of "back-up" projects to be activated during the given program year
due to one or more of the following circumstances:
• Additional funding becomes available during the program year from the close out of
current projects that were completed under budget.
• More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in
the Annual Action Plan.
• If, during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach
has not definitively decided which public facility or infrastructure improvement
project to fund,the City may opt to categorize each option as a "back-up" project until
further project and budget planning is performed. Initiation and funding of one or
more of the "back-up" projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as
defined in the Citizen Participation Plan. Preferential consideration will be given to
those projects that demonstrate the ability to spend CDBG funds in a timely manner,
consistent with the City's goal to meet CDBG timeliness rules, as well as those projects

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing
need by income category. Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low-
income, and; 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations,
general relative priorities for funding will be as follows:
HIGH PRIORITY:Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period.
MEDIUM PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by
the City during the five-year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and take
actions to locate other sources of funds.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-
year period.
The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on
the assumption that in this high cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 31
ill
displacement, homelessness or other serious housing situations due to limited financial
resources and other limitations they may face.
The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including
the high and sustained demand for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to
address the community's needs.

AP-5o 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 51% or more of the residents are low-
ormoderate-income.
Specifically, for Code Enforcement, after establishing the general definition for purposes of
code enforcement, the City conducted a visual (windshield) survey of CDBG eligible areas for
properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures that met the definition. Based on the
visual (windshield) survey, the City determined that low- and moderate-income areas within
the area bound by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst
Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south contained the most properties with
deterioration. In some cases, some structures had multiple violations per parcel. This target
area is known as the "Special Code Enforcement Target Area." Inclusive of the following
census tracts, the Special Code Enforcement Target Area is comprised of 46,650 persons,
32,395, or 69.44%, of which are of low-moderate income.

2020121, the City invested approximately $2.8 million in HOME funds to provide gap financing
in the development of a senior housing project. The City, in partnership with its local CHDO,
Jamboree Housing Corporation, is underway to develop a 43-unit senior housing
development at 18431 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach. Each of the 43 units will have one
bedroom and one bath.With an investment Of$2.8 million, 17 units will be HOME restricted.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i)
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. In March 2015, the City Council authorized formation
of a Homeless Task Force Subcommittee to coordinate homeless and housing efforts and
provide City support and guidance regarding services. The Task Force is keeping the City
Council apprised of issues and services and makes recommendations as needed. In addition,
the Office of Business Development and the Huntington Beach Police Department utilize
CDBG public service funds for several part-time Homeless Case Mangers to serve as the City's
point persons for homeless issues. Funding will continue in 2021/22.
At the county level, 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 and takes place once every two years. The most recent PIT in
Orange County was held on a single night in January 2019 with the assistance of many
homeless service providers. The January 2021 PIT was postponed due to safety concerns
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Orange County January 2019 PIT count enumerated 6,86o homeless individuals in Orange
County, reflecting an over 40% increase from the 2017 tally of 4,792 homeless people.
However, Orange County officials said it would be misleading to make a direct comparison to
prior years due to the change in methodology and more thorough accounting of homeless.
Among the 6,86o homeless counted, 2,899 (42%) were in some kind of emergency or
transitional shelter.This reflects an increase of 691 sheltered homeless from 2017, or 31%.
In Huntington Beach specifically, there were 349 total persons counted, with 289
unsheltered, and 6o that were sheltered.
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

133
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 and up to 4 case managers)and the construction of the Cameron Lane Navigation
Center to provide shelter for 174 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).
Also, in FY 2021/22, City will provide funding to the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program
where volunteer staff scout streets of Huntington Beach 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 provides basic services (food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival
kits)as well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In FY 2019/20, the City Council approved purchase of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane
using non-federal funds. Via two substantial amendments to the FY 2019/2o Annual Action
Plan, and one substantial amendment to the FY 2020/21 Annual Action Plan, the City Council
allocated a total of $3,167,604 in federal CDBG and CARES Act funds to help offset costs
associated operating the homeless facility. The need for such a facility has increased in recent
months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Navigation Center is operated by Mercy House, a
non-profit organization that provides wrap around services on-site to help persons
experiencing homelessness "navigate" eligible social services, medical services and benefits
to stabilize them with the ultimate goal of transitioning them to more permanent housing.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children,veterans and their families,and unaccompanied youth)make the transition to
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 54
134
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 to assist with their
successful transition toward self-sufficiency.
In FY 2021/22, the City will continue its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach
with much needed rental assistance to prevent homelessness. Over $550,000 in HOME funds
will be allocated to the Huntington Beach Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program to help
house 57 extremely low and very-low income homeless, senior, Veteran, and family
households.
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 Solutions 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 - 91.220(j)
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 Amended Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans, and the
City's Amended Housing Element, 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 February 202o Amended 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 February 2020
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 56
136
Amended 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:
Program 2. Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non-Profit Developers
Objective: While the acquisition/rehabilitation program will continue to be a part of the
City's affordable housing program, the City intends to direct the majority of its housing
funds towards new construction of affordable housing(refer to Program ;it). The City's
goal will be to assist in the acquisition/rehabilitation of 20-40 units over the planning
period.
Program 7. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory
Objective: Maintain a current inventory of vacant and underutilized residential and
mixed-use sites and provide to interested developers in conjunction with information on
available development incentives. To the extent that there are high density residential
sites identified as accommodating the City's RHNA that ultimately develop with a use
other than high density residential development, the City will ensure that it maintains
adequate inventory to accommodate the RHNA, including by rezoningas necessary.
Program 8. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan
Objective: The City will undertake the following actions to implement the adequate sites
program concurrently with the adoption of the Housing Element Amendment: 1) Draft
text amendments to the BECSP to: a) establish a new Affordable Housing Overlay and
revise parking standards and Site Plan review process and b) allow capacity for
development of the entire 413-unit lower income RHNA shortfall within the Overlay; 2)
Conduct any necessary environmental review on the BECSP amendments including the
sites selected for the Affordable Housing Overlay; 3) Conduct public hearings on the
BECSP amendment and adopt the amended BECSP with the selected sites within the
Affordable Housing Overlay to offset the RHNA shortfall. 4) Begin a comprehensive
review of the BECSP and revise the BECSP to provide for growth aligned with economic
objectives and infrastructure capacities.5) Monitor sites within the Overlay to ensure that
site capacity can accommodate the remaining lower income RHNA throughout the
planningperiod.
Program 9. Accessory Dwelling Units
Objective: Facilitate the provision of accessory dwelling units for seniors, caregivers,
and other lower income households through dissemination of the City's educational
brochure on accessory dwelling units and conduct focused education to the senior
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 57
137
citizen community through the Huntington Beach Council on Aging, Rodgers Seniors'
Center, and the Seniors Outreach Center.
Program 10. Inclusionary Program and Housing Trust Fund
Objective: Continue to utilize the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as a tool to integrate
affordable housing within market rate developments, or alternatively, to generate fees
in support of affordable housing in off-site locations. Establish on in-lieu fee amount for
projects with between 10-30 units. Re-evaluate the Ordinance consistent with case law
and to reflect market conditions and adopt an amendment to the Ordinance in the first
half of 2020. Since the City has already addressed its moderate income RHNA allocation,
the City will implement a City-wide policy to require at least half of on-site inclusionary
units to be provided at levels affordable to lower income households.
Program 11.Affordable Housing Development Assistance
Objective: Continue to provide regulatory and financial assistance for the development
of affordable and mixed income housing. Provide information on incentives during
individual dealings with development applicants.
Program 13.Affordable Housing Density Bonus
Objective: Continue to implement the Affordable Housing Density Bonus as a means of
enhancing the economic feasibility of affordable housing development.
Program 14. Development Fee Assistance
Objective: Continue to offer fee reductions for affordable fordable housing. As part of the update
to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance the City is currently working on, update the Code
to specify the waiver of t00% of application fees for projects with a minimum 10%
Extremely Low-Income units.
Program 15. Residential Processing Procedures
Objective: By 2021, adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family development
on a Citywide basis.

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.22o(k)
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 an implementing goal during the 2020/21 —2024125 timeframe.
The City will continue to offer funding to tenant based rental assistance programs in
Huntington Beach. In FY 2020/21, nearly $650,000 in HOME funding was allocated to assist 55
households over a two-year period. In FY 2021/22, the City will contribute another $550,000 to
tenant based rental assistance, bringing the total investment to this program to $1.2 million.
The City also awarded $2.8 million in HOME funding to the development of a new affordable
senior housing project. The City has partnered with a local community housing development
organization, or CH DO, Jamboree Housing Corporation to develop 43 units of senior housing
at 18431 Beach Boulevard. Of the 43 units, 17 will be HOME-restricted.The project is currently
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 59
139
underway.
Finally, the City is also proposing to use $265,000 in CDBG to fund two residential
rehabilitation programs. Both programs will be available to Huntington Beach homeowners.
The first program offers a grant of up to $1o,000 to eligible homeowners to make health and
safety or code violation repairs. The second program offers a loan of up to $75,00o for larger
home improvements. Collectively, the City is proposing to assist to households with housing
rehabilitation assistance.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires
federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement
is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of
Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for
rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are
implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with
CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.
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
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 60
140
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 implementation of three
Business Improvement Districts, and its Economic Development Strategy.
In terms of employment training and supportive services, the City supports literacy programs
for families (Oakview Family Literacy Program) with a combination of General Funds and
CDBG that help enhance the employability of low-income persons with deficient English
speaking, reading, and writing skills. As funding permits, the City will continue to support the
following Public Services to increase family stability for lower income households:
• Counseling
• Domestic Violence Prevention Services
• Provision of food
• Substance Abuse Services
• Job Training
Lastly, the City of Huntington Beach supports a variety of economic development activities
that help to create and retain jobs for low- and moderate-income households. Activities
supported include a commercial property locator; employment assistance including of a
referral service for finding and training employees; financial assistance through the Small
Business Administration; business counseling and training via a litany of not-for-profit Orange
County agencies; technical assistance in permits, trademarks, environmental review, and
taxes; and export and trade assistance. Micro-enterprise assistance, job training services, and
technical assistance are some areas that may warrant consideration for funding during the
next Consolidated Plan period.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 61
141
The City will fully comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act,
which helps foster local economic development and individual self-sufficiency. This set of
regulations require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training,
employment, and contracting opportunities for low or very low-income residents in
connection with housing and public construction projects.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
As the recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City has delegated the Office of Business
Development to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD
grants. In that regard, the Division will prepare the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice every five years, draft the Annual Action Plan and CAPER,
as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations.
The City will work with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, and
organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments and with the private sector
to implement the City's five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in the
Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2020/21 - 2024/25. 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. The array of partners include, but are not
limited to: the Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services,
and Public Works Departments; Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Families
Forward, Collete's Children's Home, and AMCAL; Orange County Community Housing
Corporation; Jamboree Housing; Community SeniorServ; AIDS Services Foundation; Project
Self Sufficiency; Alzheimer's Family Services; Fair Housing Foundation; the Orange County
Housing Authority; and 2-1-1 Orange County and OC Community Services (Orange County

Continuum of Care). During FY 2021/22,the City will continue to develop these partnerships.
In FY 2021/22, the City will also work with homeless service providers to make Huntington
Beach's Navigation Center a successful public facility for the homeless population. The
Navigation Center has 147 beds, coupled with wrap around homeless services to help
participants transition to more stable living.

building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing
direct rental assistance to low-income people. It is the largest Federal block grant to state and local
governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. In FY

of$50,000, to allocate to HOME Program Administration (limited to 10% of grant), tenant based
rental assistance programs, and for the development of affordable housing.

public service provider applications for 2021/22 CDBG funds. The CPAB met on February 1 I
and February 25, 2021 to hear presentations from applicants and prepare funding
recommendations and held public hearings on community needs on January 21, 2021. The
