REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Sean Joyce, Interim City Manager
VIA: Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Charles G. Kovac, Housing Manager
Subject:
2022-2023 Annual Action Plan for Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Entitlement Grant Programs, and Amendment No. 1
(Substantial) to the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan - adopt Resolution Nos. 2022-15 and 2022-
16
Statement of Issue:
The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME) federal entitlement grant funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). To remain eligible for these grant funds, the City is required to
submit an Annual Action Plan ("Action Plan") to HUD each year outlining how these funds will be
used during the upcoming fiscal year. As part of this annual process, the Citizen Participation
Advisory Board (CPAB) evaluates funding applications and makes funding recommendations to the
City Council. The CPAB recommendations for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 are summarized in this report
and described in detail in the 2022-2023 Action Plan (Attachment 2). The deadline for submission of
the 2022-2023 Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2022.
As of this writing, HUD has not yet released its 2022-2023 CDBG and HOME allocations for local
jurisdictions. To ensure the City meets its HUD-mandated deadlines, the CPAB made its funding
recommendations using current fiscal year allocations. In the event funding from HUD is higher or
lower than anticipated, the CPAB provided recommendations for increasing or reducing public
services funding levels.
In addition to the 2022-2023 Action Plan, the City Council is asked to consider Amendment No. 1 to
the 2021-2022 Action Plan ("Amendment") authorizing various funding revisions among existing
programs and adjustments to performance objectives described more fully below.
Financial Impact:
The City's estimated FY 2022-2023 CDBG and HOME program budget is comprised of$1,413,939 in
City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 7 Printed on 4/14/2022
oowere&K Li o va,"
File #: 22-269 MEETING DATE: 4/19/2022
CDBG and $760,225 in HOME funds. Approval of the 2022-2023 Action Plan or the Amendment will
not impact the General Fund.
The proposed use of FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 CDBG and HOME funds outlined in the
Action Plan and Amendment provide full funding for the projects identified with the exception of
Navigation Center operations and future Oak View Neighborhood projects. Future Navigation Center
operating expenses will also be funded through a combination of SB2, HOME-ARP and General
Fund revenues. As homeless and behavioral health services continue to grow and expand through
the region, staff is continually monitoring future grant opportunities that are expected to become
available. The Oak View neighborhood revitalization project is still under development and the full
project scope has not yet been determined. The proposed action plan would allocate $415,621 of
funding for annual debt service on a Section 108 Loan. Based on the Section 108 Loan program
parameters, the City could borrow about $6 million dollars to fund eligible activities in the Oak View
area. This funding could be leveraged with the $2 million American Rescue Plan Act funding City
Council approved in September 2021.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the following in compliance with the
Consolidated Plan Procedures of 24 CFR Part 91:
A) Conduct a public hearing for the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan and Amendment No. 1
(Substantial) to the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan; and,
B) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-15, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Approving Amendment No. One (Substantial) to the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan," and,
C) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-16, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach,
California, Approving the 2022-2023 Action Plan for Federal Community Development Block Grant
and HOME Investment Partnerships Programs;" and,
D) Authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary related documents.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the 2022-23 Action Plan and the Amendment as presented and direct staff
accordingly. The City Council may choose to modify any of the funding recommendations for CDBG
and HOME projects and programs within the aggregate funding limits outlined in this report.
Analysis:
Background
Each year, the City of Huntington Beach receives entitlement grant funds from HUD under the CDBG
and HOME programs. According to program objectives set forth in HUD regulations, funds from these
programs must be used to benefit lower-income Huntington Beach residents, as well as the
community needs identified in the City's approved Consolidated Plan. HUD regulations require public
participation in the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds. Therefore, each year the City issues a
Notice of Funding Availability to invite local community organizations to submit applications for public

service programs.
The CPAB reviews all eligible applications, receives public input, hears oral presentations from the
applicants, and makes funding recommendations to the City Council. These recommendations are
outlined in the attached Action Plan, which must be approved by the City Council at a public hearing
and submitted to HUD by May 15, 2022.
2022-2023 CDBG and l-IOILIE Fundine Levels
As of this writing, HUD has not yet announced funding levels for the 2022-2023 program year.
Therefore, funding levels discussed in this report and in the Action Plan are established using current
fiscal year allocations. In addition to the anticipated CDBG and HOME funding allocations, the table
below reflects carryover, which are unused funds from previously approved projects and/or payments
received on outstanding loans that are now available for new activities. CDBG and HOME rules limit
the use of carryover funds only for eligible capital projects.

Fands Available for CDBG Public Services Programs
Federal regulations allow the City to designate up to 15 percent of the CDBG allocation for public
service programs. Eligible public service programs must be directed toward improving community
services concerned with services such as employment, child care, health, substance abuse,
education, recreation or welfare for low-income residents. The maximum funds available for public
service programs is $188,469.

Up to 20 percent of the City's CDBG allocation, $251 ,292, and 10 percent of its HOME allocation,
$61,823, may be used for planning and administration. Within the CDBG administration funding
category is a HUD mandate that all jurisdictions provide fair housing services. These services are
provided by the Fair Housing Foundation and include tenant/landlord mediation, unlawful detainer
assistance, fair housing education and investigating claims of discrimination.
Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Funding Recommendations
On February 10, the CPAB conducted a noticed public meeting that provided residents the
opportunity to participate in the CDBG funding recommendation process. The CPAB received public
comments and heard virtual presentations from seven CDBG public services applicants.
Subsequently, on February 24, the CPAB met to deliberate and make funding recommendations; by a
unanimous vote recommended that the City Council fund four of the seven public services
applications that were received.
The City received one application from the Fair Housing Foundation for fair housing services, and
this program is recommended to be funded under the CDBG program administration category.
CDBG capital and housing preservation projects consist of the City's Housing Rehabilitation
Program, Special Code Enforcement Program, and Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
Program Administration in the total amount of $558,557. The remaining available balance of
$415,621 is recommended to be reserved for a future Oak View neighborhood revitalization project.
On March 15, the City Council and CPAB held a joint study session to review these funding
recommendations, which are summarized below and described in detail in the 2022-2023 Action
Plan.

Funding Level Adjustments
In the likely event that the City does not receive notification of its CDBG and HOME funding
allocations from HUD prior to the April 19 City Council meeting, the CPAB and staff recommend the
following funding alternatives should funding allocations from HUD be higher or lower than estimated
in this report:
CDBG Public Services:
1 . If CDBG funds are higher or lower, adjust funding proportionately for the following three
programs: Senior Center Care Management, Navigation Center Operations, and StandUp
for Kids OC. Funding for the Oak View FRC Drop-in Recreation Program to remain
unchanged.
Capital and Housing Preservation Projects:
1 . If CDBG funds are higher or lower, adjust funding for the future Oak View
Neighborhood Project accordingly. Other CDBG capital projects/programs funding to

remain unchanged.
2. If HOME funds are higher or lower, adjust both Tenant Based Rental Assistance
programs (Families Forward and Mercy House) proportionately.
Administration:
1 . If CDBG and/or HOME funds are higher or lower, adjust program administration
accordingly. Funding for the Fair Housing Foundation to remain unchanged.
Amendment No. 1 (Substantial) to the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan
The proposed substantial Amendment to the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan includes the following
revisions:
• Redirect $50,000 allocated to the Homeless Outreach Program to Navigation Center
Operations along with $2,737 in prior year carryover funds. The Homeless Outreach Program
received alternative funding to replace CDBG funding.
• Increase Special Code Enforcement funding by $41,332 for a revised allocation of $272,889
related to the acquisition of a vehicle that was approved in 2020-2021 but occurred in 2021-
2022 due to vehicle delivery delays.
• Redirect $556,410 allocated to a placeholder "HOME TBRA Program" to the Families Forward
TBRA Program ($281,410) and Mercy House TBRA Program ($275,000).
• Adjust the performance goal for StandUp for Kids Street from 30 to 23 persons. This
organization received less than their full application amount and is requesting their
performance goal to be reduced accordingly.
• Revise the number of HOME-designated units at Jamboree's Senior Housing Project from 17
to 9.
These amendments are incorporated and described in the draft Amendment No. One to the 2021-
2022 Action Plan (Attachment 4).
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), government fiscal activities that do not result in a
physical change in the environment, and do not commit the lead agency to any specific project, do
not constitute a project. Therefore, these activities are exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines
Section 15060(c)(3).
Since federal dollars are being used for the proposed CDBG and HOME activities, National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance will be required prior to execution of funding
agreements and disbursement of funds. The City will complete all NEPA Compliance for the

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$1.9 million ($1,256,461 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 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:
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 3
341
t. 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.
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 2o2t/22, the City of Huntington Beach is proposing to fund several programs to meet
the priority needs of Huntington Beach residents as listed in Table t, 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.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 4
342
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. Nine SeveRtee units will be HOME-income
and rent restricted. Upon completion of this project that is currently underway, the
City will have accomplished nearly 5o% 9-�j% of its 20-unit development goal for the
2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan timeframe.
• 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 2020/21.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 COVID-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 $75,000 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 60o 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 of 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.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 5
343
• The City has a goal to assist 5,000 persons with improved or new public facilities during
the 2020/21-2024/25 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 2,00o persons. In FY
2021/22, the City will continue making sidewalk improvements in Maintenance Zone 5.
• At the end of FY 2019/2o and again during FY 2020/21, the City was awarded a special
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 $1.3 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 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in the
Oak View community, one of the most impacted areas of the City, and one in which
many resources have been concentrated in recent years. These efforts included
increased outreach to property owners and residents of the area and expansion of the
number of materials provided in Spanish. 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.

347
AP-to Consultation - 91.100, 91.2oo(b), 91.215(I)
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
348
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 $1,256,461 in CDBG
entitlement funds and will have a prior year carryover of$86,951, for a total of $1,343,412. T-he
. 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 2019, SB-2 (or Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding) 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 Huntington 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 has received $1.4 million for the first
two years and is slated to receive approximately $65o,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 $220,000 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 will also receive a special allocation of HOME-ARP funds *^ rnor and/ F unnnr
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, supportive social services, and

homeowner foreclosure prevention. The City is considering using HOME-ARP funding to
provide supportive services at two homeless developments: the Cameron Lane Navigation
Center and the HB Oasis Homekey transitional housing project. Final project allocations will
be included in the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. 9eta4S ^ fiEall , Huntingt&n

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 implementingthe Consolidated Plan. Local, private and non-
federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in
our community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment
to receiving other funding sources.
Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For
example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including private and public
investment including the use of low-income housing tax credits. Other future sources of
matching funds include inclusionary housing in-lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the
former Redevelopment Agency;and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment
Low/Mod Housing Funds.
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
t2,74i,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 Eentinue 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

may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City Council recently authorized acquisition of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane
that was developed as an emergency homeless shelter to help meet the needs of the over-
growing homeless population, a priority need as described in the 2020/21-2024/25
Consolidated Plan.

Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families
to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.215(b)
As described in the Needs Assessment of the City's Consolidated Plan, over 20% of all
Huntington Beach households experience a cost burden, which is defined as spending 30% or
more of household income on housing related costs. Therefore, in FY 2021/22, the City is
proposing to provide tenant based rental assistance to 5-7 5o homeless, senior, Veteran,
and/or family households. All of these households will be at or below 60% of Area Median
Income.
Further, in FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2,830,698 in HOME funds to the Huntington Beach
Senior Housing Project located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project will be developed with
the City's local CHDO, Jamboree Housing Corporation, and will include a total Of 43 one

PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects - 91.22o(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 $1,256,461 the City of
Huntington Beach allocated $4&5;555 $188,469 for public services, representing just 15%
of the CDBG entitlement.This Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2021/22
public services: ; Cameron Lane Navigation Center
Operations Program (552,737); Senior Services Care Management($34,555); Children's Bureau
($8o,000); StandUp for Kids Street Outreach ($12,177); and Oakview Family Literacy Program
($9,000). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of 20% of the annual
entitlement, or s251,292, for CDBG administration activities.The City has allocated $221,292 for
CDBG Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation, for a total of $251,292, the
maximum allowed. Lastly, a maximum of io% of the annual HOME entitlement, $61,823, was
allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY 2o2l/22.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/21-2024/25, 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

that meet the needs of the community as defined in the Consolidated Plan.

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.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 35
373
The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on
the assumption that in this high-cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of
displacement, homelessness or other serious housing situations due to limited financial
resources and other limitations they may face.
The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including
the high and sustained demand for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to
address the community's needs.

StandUp for Kids Street Outreach provides wrap-

homelessness into safe and stable housing. Due to
the pandemic, StandUp for Kids has pivoted to
mostly virtual support and has used word-of-
mouth, partner referrals and social media to
connect with youth in need.Youth are assessed for
their immediate needs and provided with food,
clothing, hygiene products, and transitional
housing as needed. Youth are then linked with a
volunteer mentor who assists the youth to create a
pathway to self-sufficiency and to obtain safe and
stable housing. This pathway can include
assistance, job search and resume strategies,
household and budget management, and home-
finding assistance. Mentoring normally continues
for 6 months, and sometimes much longer.
Huntington Beach citizens will benefit through
creating new self-supporting, contributing
members of their communities.

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-
or moderate-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.

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 nine (9) units will be HOME

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
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 61
399
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, t 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, the 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 2019120, 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 $3,367,604 in federal CDBG and CARES Act funds to help offset
costs associated operating the homeless facility. The Substantial Amendment to this FY
2021/22 Annual Action Plan will allocate an additional $52,737 in CDBG foroperation assistance.
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.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 62
400
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children,veterans and their families,and unaccompanied youth)make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless
individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families
who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of
homelessness, the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective
programming, including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnerships with
experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; the ability to create or
secure affordable housing; perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless
through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available
services. The City's goal is to expand on current homeless programs and activities 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 5- 5o 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 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

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 65
403
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 '#11). 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 rezoning as 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
planning period.
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 66
404
citizen community through the Huntington Beach Council on Aging, Rodgers Seniors'
Center, and the Seniors Outreach Center.
Program to. Inclusionary Program and Housing Trust Fund
Objective: Continue to utilize the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as a tool to integrate
affordable fordable housing within market rate developments, or alternatively, to generate fees
in support of affordable housing in off-site locations. Establish an 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 tt.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 to%
Extremely Low-Income units.
Program 15. Residential Processing Procedures
Objective: By 2021, adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family development
on a Citywide basis.

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

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, �7 nine (9) will be HOME-restricted. The project is
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 68

currently 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 $to,000 to eligible homeowners to make health and
safety or code violation repairs. The second program offers a loan of up to $75,000 for larger
home improvements. Collectively, the City is proposing to assist io 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

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 70
408
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 2o2o/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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 9t.22o(b)
The Huntington Beach 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 2022/23 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 2022/23 to nearly $2.2 million. The following Annual
Action Plan describes resources, programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will
undertake in FY 2022/23 to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated
Plan goals and objectives, summarized in the table on the following page.

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 of three
outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as H UD's CPD
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 2
453
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.
The Huntington Beach 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:
t. 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.
z. Homelessness - Homelessness continues to be a 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.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 3
454
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 2022/23, the City of Huntington Beach is proposing to fund several programs to meet
the priority needs of Huntington Beach residents as listed in the table above.
Evaluation of past performance
The second 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 2021122 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. Nine units will be HOME-income and rent
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 4
455
restricted. Upon completion of this project that is currently underway, the City will
have accomplished nearly 50% of its 20-unit development goal for the 2020/21-2024125
Consolidated Plan timeframe.
• Also in the area of providing decent housing, the City allocated $642,00o in HOME
funds to assist 55 households with tenant based rental assistance in FY 202o/21. The
TBRA programs were implemented by three operators: Mercy House, Interval House,
and Families Forward. In FY 2021/22, two additional TBRA contracts were implemented
providing 5o households with rental assistance. The program, run by Families Forward
and Mercy House, was integral to the City's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program offers two forms of
rehabilitation assistance to eligible lower-income Huntington Beach households. First,
the Rehabilitation Grant 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 Rehabilitation Loan Program, in comparison, offers low-
income homeowners up to $75,000 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. To date, the City has funded io home rehabilitation
grants with additional households currently on the waiting list.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City's Special Code Enforcement program continues to accomplish their goal of
assisting 60o 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 toward 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 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan period. To date, the City has not awarded funds
to public facility projects.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 5
456
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2o2o/21 and 2021/22 for the ADA Curb Cuts Projects
in Maintenance Zone 3 and Maintenance Zone 5, respectively. Together, these two
projects have assisted over 4,000 persons. With a five-year goal of assisting 2,000
persons by June 30, 2025, the City has already well surpassed its goal.
• At the end of FY 2019/2o and again during FY 2020/21, the City was awarded a special
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 $1.45 million in CDBG entitlement funds and program
income to the operations of a new emergency homeless shelter at 17631 Cameron
Lane. The shelter provides 174 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 FY 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in
the Oak View community, one of the most impacted areas of the City, and one in which
many resources have been concentrated in recent years. These efforts included
increased outreach to property owners and residents of the area and expansion of the
number of materials provided in Spanish. 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.

Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 9
460
AP-10 Consultation - 9t.too, 9t.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.
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 four full-time officers, one
program coordinator and up to four case managers)and a Navigation Center providing 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 Main
Police Station, as well as working cooperatively with local schools to assist children who are
homeless or housing insecure.
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 (CoC), led and coordinated by the Orange County
Health Care Agency. 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.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system is designed to:

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
The City of Huntington Beach has a Citizen Participation Plan to guide the City's citizen
participation process as it relates to its federal HOME and CDBG programs. All citizens are
encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the
Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.The City holds advertised public hearings each year
to gather input on community needs as part of the development of the Plans and to advise on
the progress of existing subrecipients. In all cases, a Notice of Public Hearing is published at
least 15 days prior to the hearing to provide residents with adequate notice. Further, all public
notices, staff reports, and Annual Action Plans are accessible on the City's website for review.
Housing and Community Development Needs Survey
In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs for
the 2020/21 — 2024125 Consolidated Plan, the City utilized a Housing and Community
Development Needs Survey (in English and Spanish) in which the respondent was asked to
rank the level of need for a particular service, capital improvement, and public benefit. A total
Of 417 responses were received and helped shape the outcome of the Plan's Five-Year Goals
and Objectives.
Community Meetings
For development of the Consolidated Plan, the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB)
conducted a series of public hearings on community needs on October 3, 2oi9, November 7,
2019, December 5, 2oi9, and February 20, 2020 at Huntington Beach City Hall and at the Oak
View Branch Library. The comments received are summarized in the Consolidated Plan
Appendix.
Public Comment and Final Adoption
A draft FY 2020/21 — 2024/25 Consolidated Plan (inclusive of the FY 2020121 Annual Action Plan)
was made available for public comment for a 3o-day period beginning on June 5, 202o and
concluding on July 6, 2020. A public hearing was held on July 6, 202o providing residents and

FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation
The City of Huntington Beach has a Citizen Participation Plan to guide the City's CDBG citizen
participation process. All of Huntington Beach's citizens are encouraged to participate in the
planning, development, and implementation of the Annual Action Plan. Organizations
receiving direct CDBG funding are in regular contact with City staff. Other organizations are
consulted as needed or have been present at various public hearings held by the City. Three
public hearings are held each year by the City to discuss issues related to the Consolidated
Plan, as well as the Annual Action Plan. The first two hearings take place during the
development of the Annual Action Plan and focus on the needs of the community and provide
citizens with an opportunity to comment on the draft Annual Action Plan. The third public
hearing, conducted after preparation of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Report (CAPER), focuses on performance of housing, homelessness, hazards associated with
lead-based paint, accessibility, and community development needs, such as infrastructure and
public services. In all cases, a Notice of Public Hearing is published at least 15 days prior to the
hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.
A draft 2022/23 Annual Action Plan was available for public comment for a minimum 3o-day
period (March 18 —April 19, 2022). The CPAB and City Council held public hearings on January
20, 2022 and April 19, 2022, respectively, providing residents and interested parties a final

EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c) (1,2)
For Fiscal Year 2022/23, the City of Huntington Beach will receive an estimated $1,256,461 in
CDBG entitlement funds (estimate is based on FY 2021/22 CDBG funding levels and can differ
by +/-to%), will have $57,478 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward, and estimates receiving
$too,000 in program income, for a total of $1,413,939• If CDBG funds from HUD are more or
less than the FY 2021/22 CDBG allocation, the City will implement the following changes:
• The three public service applicants consisting of Senior Center Care Management,
Cameron Lane Navigation Center, and StandUp for Kids OC will have their funding
adjusted proportionately (weighted average); however, funding for Oak View FRC
Drop-in Recreation Program will remain the same as shown in this 2022-2023 Action
Plan.
• Unallocated funding for a future project as identified in this 2022-2023 Action Plan will
be adjusted accordingly. No other CDBG capital project/program funding will be
adjusted.
• The CDBG Administration allocation will be adjusted accordingly but will not exceed
the 20 percent maximum requirement.
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, 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 estimated entitlement allocation of $618,233 (estimate is
based on FY 2021/22 funding levels and can vary by +/-to%). The City also anticipates $91,992 in
unallocated HOME carryover, and about $50,000 in program income for a total of $760,225. If
HOME funds from HUD are more or less than the FY 2021/22 HOME allocation, the City will
implement the following changes:
• The Tenant Based Rental Assistance program funding as administered by Mercy House
and Families Forward and shown in this FY 2022-23 Action Plan will be adjusted
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 21
472
proportionately (weighted average).
• HOME administration and Community Housing Development Organization funding
reserves will be adjusted accordingly but will not exceed the io percent and 15 percent
maximum requirements, respectively.
The City will use HOME funds for administration of the HOME program, tenant-based rental
assistance, and will reserve at least 15%for a future affordable housing project.
In January 2ot9, SB-2 (or Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding) 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 Huntington 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 has received $1.4 million for the first
two years and is slated to receive approximately $650,000 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 $220,00o 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 will also receive a special allocation of HOME-ARP funds 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, supportive social services, and homeowner foreclosure
prevention.The City is considering using HOME-ARP funding to provide supportive services at
two homeless developments: the Cameron Lane Navigation Center and the HB Oasis
Homekey transitional housing project. Final project allocations will be included in the HOME-
ARP Allocation Plan.
The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and
preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that
promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Local, private and non-
federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in
our community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment
to receive other funding sources.
Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For
example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including private and public
investment including the use of low-income housing tax credits. Other future sources of
matching funds include inclusionary housing in-lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the
former Redevelopment Agency;and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment
Low/Mod Housing Funds.
The City has also leveraged CDBG and CDBG-CV funds with local monies to fund the operations
of the Cameron Lane Navigation Center,an 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, 2020.
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 t, 2019
through September 30, 2o2i. The City received this waiver on April 24, 2020.

Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families
to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.215(b)
As described in the Needs Assessment of the City's Consolidated Plan, over 20% of all
Huntington Beach households experience a cost burden, which is defined as spending 30% or
more of household income on housing related costs. Therefore, in FY 2022/23, the City is
proposing to provide tenant based rental assistance (TBRA) to 50 homeless, senior, Veteran,
and/or family households. The TBRA programs will also be available to households needing
help with mobile home space rents.
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
the City's local CHDO, Jamboree Housing Corporation, and will include a total of 43 one
bedroom/one bath units, and one two-bedroom/one bath (manager's unit). With an
investment of$2.8 million in HOME,the City estimates that nine units will be HOME-restricted.
At project completion, the City will meet 45% of its five-year goal to provide 20 new units to
the City's affordable housing inventory.

PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects — 91.22o(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during FY 2o22/23
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 $1,256,461, the City of Huntington Beach
allocated s188,469 for public services, representing 15% of the CDBG entitlement. This Annual
Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2022/23 public services: Cameron Lane
Navigation Center Operations Program ($46,969); Senior Services Care Management
($40,000); Children's Bureau ($85,000); and StandUp for Kids Street Outreach ($16,500).
CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of 20% of the annual entitlement, or
$251,292, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated $221,292 for CDBG
Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation, for a total of $251,292, the
maximum allowed. Lastly, a maximum of to% of the annual HOME entitlement, $61,823, was
allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY 2022/23.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/21-2024/25, 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 t) 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 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 32
483
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-
or moderate-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
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.

All public service programs and housing activities funded with CDBG or HOME will be available
citywide to eligible persons. The City will also allocate CDBG funds for special code
enforcement and preservation activities in the Special Code Enforcement Target Area that has
been identified as deteriorated based on the observance of violations of the Uniform Housing
Code. This area is bound by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north,
Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south. Public facility and public
infrastructure projects, while are not proposed for FY 2022/23, are typically targeted to
neighborhoods where 51% or more of residents are low- and moderate-income, unless they
serve a specific limited clientele in which case they may be located anywhere in the city.

The City is not proposing to fund any new housing development projects that meet the
definition of "affordable housing" at 24 CIF 92.252 and 92.254 in FY 2022/23; however, in FY
2020/21, 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, nine units will be HOME restricted
(the City utilized the Suspension and Waiver of Maximum Per Unit Subsidy Limit).
Also, the City estimates that it will have a balance of roughly $143,000 in unallocated HOME
funds that it can dedicate to a new CHDO affordable housing project in the future.

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. For example,
in FY 2021/22, the City identified the goal of increasing outreach and engagement with the
homeless community. The Police Department, assigned to that effort, increased their
proactive contacts with the homeless population, even when no crime was committed and
no call for services was generated. This endeavor is meant to foster a positive dialogue with
the homeless population and allow for conversations that would hopefully lead to the
acceptance of resources, benefitting the homeless individual and aid in the goal of reducing
the homeless population in Huntington Beach. The City will continue these efforts into FY
2022/23.
In addition, the Huntington Beach Police Department will continue the Homeless Outreach
Program made up of three homeless outreach case managers and four police officers that
serve as the City's point persons for homeless issues. Since its inception in 2o16, the Homeless
Outreach Program has had more than 1,600 occasions to assist individuals with housing
referrals,mental and physical health referrals,bus passes, DMV forms,gas cards,food, mailing
addresses, and family reunifications.
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 HUD funding for homeless programs and takes place once every
two years. The most recent complete 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
Count for unsheltered homeless was postponed due to safety concerns during the COVID-19
pandemic.
The Orange County January 2oi9 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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 53
504
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.
Orange County and the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) resumed the PIT Count in
2022. The sheltered count was conducted the night of Monday, February 21, 2022, and the
unsheltered count started the morning of Tuesday, February 22 through Thursday, February
24, 2022. The results of the PIT Count will be made available later in 2022.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
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, the construction of the Cameron lane
Navigation Center, and the addition of a Deputy Director of Homelessness & Behavioral
Health Services in FY 2021122. 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 Deputy Director will play an instrumental
role in the City to help coordinate ongoing homeless response efforts within Huntington
Beach.
In FY 2022/23, the City will continue funding the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program.
StandUp is an agency where volunteer staff scout streets of Huntington Beach for youth who
are 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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 54
505
Outreach program provides basic services (food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival kits) as
well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring.
Lastly, the City established a pilot mobile crisis response program in April 2021 through an
agreement with Be Well OC that's composed of two Crisis Counselors who provide in-
community assessments and stabilization services at a caller's location. On February 15, 2022,
the City Council unanimously extended the program's initial one-year agreement term
through June 30, 2023.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In FY 2o19/2o, the City Council approved purchase of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane
using non-federal funds to establish the Navigation Center. 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 $3,437,242 in federal CDBG and CARES
Act funds to help offset costs associated with operating the facility.The need for such a facility
increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was impacted by social distancing rules which
reduced the number of available beds from 174 to 128. The number of beds is expected to
return to the available 174 as pandemic rules are modified in the coming months. 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 goal of transitioning them
to more permanent housing. On February 8, 2022, the City released the Navigation Center's
first annual report that summarized the positive impact the facility is having on the homeless
population in Huntington Beach.
Also, in FY 2021122, the City partnered with the County of Orange, National CORE, and
American Family Housing to negotiate the acquisition and rehabilitation of the former Quality
Inn &Suites motel located at 17251 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach.The project, HB Oasis,
will provide interim housing for up to 62 adult individuals and households experiencing
homelessness in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. In addition to transitional
housing, the HB Oasis will provide property management, residential and supportive services
that meet the complex needs of people experiencing homelessness. HB Oasis will provide a
trauma informed, and evidence-based interim operations by identifying tools and re-
integrating participants back into the community through case management and linkages to
permanent housing. The City's contribution of $1,804,704 in HOME-ARP will provide
supportive services in Year 5 of the project.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 55
506
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children,veterans and their families,and unaccompanied youth)make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless
individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families
who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of
homelessness, the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective
programming, including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnerships with
experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding-' the ability to create or
secure affordable housing; perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless
through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available
services. The City's goal is to expand on current homeless programs and activities to assist
with their successful transition toward self-sufficiency.
Towards this effort, the Navigation Center maintains www.hbhomelesssolutions.com, a
website that provides general information about the Center and informs the public of the
Center's work through weekly Homeless Services Updates. Funding for the Center will
continue through FY 2022/23 as the City intends on repurposing the property into a permanent
supportive housing (PSH) development that provides affordable housing to the chronically
homeless. The housing will be paired with services to help individuals achieve social and
economic stability. Updates will continue to be provided on the Center's website.
In FY 2022/23, the City will continue its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach
with much needed rental assistance to prevent homelessness. Since 2014, Huntington Beach
has offered a Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program that has helped hundreds of extremely
low- and very-low income homeless, senior, Veteran, and family households. In FY 2022/23,
tenant based rental assistance will continue to be offered through Families Forward and
Mercy House.
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 identified
the following objectives as provided in the City's 2021-2o29 Housing Element:
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 56
507
Program 5C. Homeless Assistance
Objective: Continue participation in the County's Regional Committee for the Continuum
of Care and annually allocate CDBG monies to fund agencies serving the homeless and at-
risk population. Continue to enhance service in this area and apply for available funding
opportunities for homelessness assistance and response efforts. Pursue funding
opportunities through Project Homekey and other funding sources as they become
available to convert identified existing hotels and motels to permanent or interim
housing for the target population.
Program 5D. Low Barrier Navigation Center
Objective: The City will adopt an ordinance to be compliant with State law regarding the
definition, processing, and approval process for Low Barrier Navigation Centers.
These efforts will be primarily led by the Deputy Director of Homelessness& Behavioral Health
Services in collaboration with the Navigation Center to leverage resources to support the
homeless community. In addition, the City continues to pursue opportunities to expand its
affordable housing inventory to benefit primarily low-income renters.
The City does not receive Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge
coordination policy. However,the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy
with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task
Force.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.220(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 late 2021, the City held several
public meetings to update its Affordable Housing ordinance to better meet the needs and
nuances of the community.The latest updates were necessary to provide compliance options
with law, implement Housing Element programs, clarify that rental projects must provide
affordable units at the lower income level, and revise the in-lieu fees and methodology to
reflect current market conditions.
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 peryear
for housing activities, has and will continue to 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 nonprofit 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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 58
509
housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and
private funding sources for affordable housing.
On December 6, 2021, the City submitted its 2021-2029 Housing Element to the California
Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD).As part of the Housing Element,
the HCD established the planning period for the current Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA) from October 15, 2021, to October 15, 2029. For that planning period, the City is
allocated 13,368 units of which 3,661 are for very low-income households and 2,184 are for
low-income households. To meet the housing demands, the City will continue to 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 2021-2029 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 1B. Multi-family Acquisition and Rehabilitation
Objective: 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 Goals 3 and 5). The City's goal
is to assist in the acquisition/rehabilitation of a minimum of 30 units across all income
levels with a focus on housing available at the very low- and low-income levels over the
planning period.
Program iD. Preservation of Assisted Rental Housing
Objective: Continue to monitor at-risk rental units. Explore project owner interest to
preserve affordability and opportunities for outside funding and preservation options. if
affordability cannot be extended, provide technical assistance and education to affected
tenants.
Program 1E. Housing Authority Rental Assistance
Objective: Seek to provide additional rental assistance for residents from the Orange
County Housing Authority (OCHA), and coordinate with OCHA to identify additional
apartment projects for participation in the Section 8 program. Continue to participate in
meetings of the Cities Advisory to OCHA to maintain ongoing communication about the
Section 8 program and other affordable housing activities.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 59
510
Program 1F. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Objective: Continue the TBRA program with qualified service providers and seek to assist
zoo households during the eight-year planning period.
Program 2A.Adequate Sites
Objective: The City will undertake the actions identified in the Program 2A narrative to
implement the adequate sites program concurrently with the adoption of the Housing
Element. The City will undertake the following actions to implement the adequate sites
program within 36 months of adoption o f the 2021-2029 Housing Element update.
Additionally, the City will continually monitor candidate housing sites and overall
development within the City to ensure the City maintains overall capacity through the
Annual Progress Reporting process. If the City's remaining inventory falls below its
remaining housing needs, the City will take the appropriate actions to identify additional
sites to accommodate the shortfall.
Program 2B. Establish Affordable Housing Overlay Zone
Objective: The City will draft the development standards and regulations related to the
Affordable Housing Overlay and adopt that zone within 36 months of the adoption of the
Housing Element update.
Program 2C. 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. Conduct focused education to the senior population and the
community as a whole through the Huntington Beach Council on Aging and Senior Center
in Central Park. Update the Accessory Dwelling Unit section of the HBZSO to consistently
adapt to changing and updated provisions for ADU's.
Program 2D. ADU Monitoring Program
Objective: The City will create a monitoring program to track ADU and JADU development
and affordability levels throughout the planning period. This will allow the City to monitor
the development of accessory units at all income levels. Additionally, the City will review
their ADU and JADU development progress within two years of the adoption of the 611
cycle Housing Element to evaluate if production estimates are being achieved.
If the City finds they are not meeting proportionate ADU development, the City will
determine if this creates a shortfall in remaining capacity to meet RHNA. If this is the case,
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 60
511
the City will take the required actions needed to supplement the shortfall in capacity
within the required i8o days.
Program 2E. Candidate Sites Identified in Previous Housing Elements
Objective: The City will identify candidate housing sites within the sites inventory which
may be subject to by right provisions if the criteria outlined in the Program 2E narrative
are met and the development provides at least 20% of the proposed units affordable fordable to
lower income households.
Program 3A. Affordable Housing Program and Housing Trust Fund
Objective: Continue to utilize the Affordable 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.
Program 3B. Affordable Housing Development Assistance
Objective:Continue to provide financial assistance for the development of affordable and
mixed-income housing. Continue to provide technical assistance to developers of
affordable and mixed-income housing projects.
Program 4A. 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. The City will
amend the density bonus ordinance to maintain consistency with State law throughout
the eight-year planning period.
Program 4B. Development Fee Assistance
Objective: Continue to offer fee reductions for affordable 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 i00% of application fees for projects with a minimum io%
Extremely Low-Income units.
Program 4C. Residential Processing Procedures
Objective: Review existing processing procedures for residential development in the
Zoning Code and make recommendations to the City Council to reduce processing times
if found revisions are found to be appropriate. The City successfully completed two
phases of the multi-phased comprehensive Zoning Code update.

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 —2024/25 timeframe. The
City will continue to maintain the Affordable Housing Viewer on its website to allow the public
to view where affordable housing units are located in the City.
The City will continue to offer funding to tenant based rental assistance programs in
Huntington Beach through a combination of CDBG and HOME funds. In FY 2022/23, the City
will allocate over $66o,000 in CDBG and HOME funds to assist 5o households with rental
assistance through Families Forward and Mercy House.
The City also awarded $2.8 million in HOME funding to the development of a new affordable
senior permanent supportive housing (PSH) project. The City partnered with a local
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 62
513
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, nine will be
HOME-restricted. The project is currently underway.
Furthermore, the City will continue its residential rehabilitation programs available to
Huntington Beach homeowners.The first program offers a one-time grant of up to $to,000 to
eligible lower income homeowners to make emergency and health or safety-related
household modifications. The second program offers a loan of up to $75,000 with an interest
rate of 3% for single family home and multifamily rental housing improvements. Collectively,
the City is proposing to assist eight lower-income households with rehabilitation assistance in
FY 2022/23.
Lastly, to supplement the cost of the City's effort to update the streamlining process of
affordable housing, the City was awarded an SB 2 Planning Grant Program grant from the
California Department of Housing and Community Development. Huntington Beach is slated
to receive approximately $550,000 per year to leverage CDBG and HOME funds in the areas
of affordable housing and homelessness.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires
federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement
is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of
Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for
rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are
implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with
CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 63
514
To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects
supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead-based paint
hazard is present, the City or the City's sub-grantee contracts with a lead consultant for
abatement or implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report.
Tenants are notified of the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs,
staff annually inspects units on the existing program and new units as they become available.
In all cases, defective paint surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied
by a household with children under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and
abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City's major objectives in reducing poverty within Huntington Beach are to:
• Reduce the number of families on welfare;
• Reduce the number of families needing housing subsidies; and
• Increase economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons.
The City's anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the
promotion and support of programs, which provide employment training and supportive
services, while expanding employment opportunities through the implementation of three
Business Improvement Districts, and its Economic Development Strategy.The City's Economic
Development and Housing Division strives to ensure the public is made aware of any economic
development opportunities that can be found via the City's official website and on hbbiz.com,
also maintained by the City.
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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 64
515
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. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City also expedited
open air dining program permits, free of charge, to allow food service businesses to
temporarily expand outdoors.
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 Community
Enhancement Division 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 nonprofit 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-
income 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.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 65
516
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, Colette's Children's Home, and AMCAL; Orange County Community Housing
Corporation; Jamboree Housing; Community SeniorServ; AIDS Services Foundation; Project
